Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Story About Sugar Gourds

In the Xianwu Continent, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.

Feng Xueqi was originally born in a famous family, but unfortunately the righteous path in this world seems to be happy and harmonious on the surface, but in fact, it is openly and secretly fighting and encroaching on each other.

However, the Jade Qianmeng turned a blind eye and reaped the benefits from it, as long as it didn't go too far, it generally wouldn't care.

When Feng Xueqi was ten years old, her father was assassinated, her mother was forced to die, and an originally happy family died overnight and escaped.

The little Feng Xueqi was taken out of the city by the wet nurse, uprooted and displaced. However, when the wet nurse went out to work, she was accidentally hit by a carriage, her legs were broken, and she had no money to find a doctor, so she could only collapse on the bed and be served by Feng Xueqi with a mouthful of food.

Feng Xueqi is also sensible, since the nurse was paralyzed in bed, she went out with this broken bowl every morning, wearing tattered clothes, smearing some carbon ash on her face, and begging along the street.

Sometimes I can get one or two copper plates, so I buy a few steamed buns, eat one for myself, and take the remaining one back for the nurse.

Although the life is hard, if it is like this all the time, it will be safe, but the bad thing is that Feng Xueqi gradually grew up, and the seedlings of beauty gradually appeared.

"Uncle and aunt reward some money, have pity on me, I still have a seriously ill mother in bed at home, brother and sister reward some money." ”

On this day, Feng Xueqi was still begging on the familiar street, but this year's crop harvest was not good, the winter snow was early, there were fewer people to buy things, and the street was quite deserted.

It was cold, Feng Xueqi was shivering in a cotton clothes that was not too thick, her feet creaked on the snow, and her shoes were already soaked with snow, but the cold snow water made her more than painful.

"Brothers and sisters...... I beg you...... Poor and pitiful...... I ......" Feng Xueqi beat her upper teeth coldly, she didn't even have a copper plate today, if she didn't ask for it again, she and her nurse would have to go hungry today.

Just when he was about to lose his support, suddenly there was a sound of "dangchang" from the broken bowl, Feng Xueqi opened her eyes violently, it was five copper plates!

Looking up, there were three strong men in gray coarse cloth clothes, each with their eyes shining, looking Feng Xueqi up and down.

Xiao Xueqi was a little scared, shrunk her head, and said glutinously: "Thank you, big brothers, I wish you a long life, promotion and wealth!"

"Oh, this little girl's standard beauty billet, she looks and speaks clearly, she is a clever one. ”

"What's the matter, or let's ......"

"I still remember that two days ago, Cuiyuxuan's mother Wang said that the chicks who entered the kiln this year were generally not in good condition, and they were all fleeing nearby to make a living, which led to a lot of poor business. ”

"Do you want to?" The strong man at the head looked at Feng Xueqi again, squatted down and suddenly grabbed her wrist, then grabbed the snow on the ground and wiped it on her face.

Under the wiping of snow water, the carbon ash on Feng Xueqi's face was washed away, revealing a fair face and a beautiful appearance.

At a glance, the three strong men froze.

"Mother, I was so beautiful when I was a child, if I grow up, I will have it, I'm afraid that Chen Yuanyuan who is confused will not be able to compare!"

"If this is sent to Jade Xuan...... I'm afraid I'll get a lot of money, right?"

Feng Xueqi was very scared, although she was still young, she was talented. And in the past two years, she has been begging here, walking the streets and alleys, and hearing a lot of things, she knows that Cuiyuxuan is a famous place for fireworks in the town, and the women who make a living there are all going to sell their bodies and serve men.

The nurse told her that no matter how poor she is, she must have backbone, and she must not do anything to sell her body, otherwise, she will be sorry for the spirit of the ancestors of the Feng family in the sky!

"Little guy, come with us, you can make a few dollars by begging every day, and my brother will take you to eat and drink spicy food, silk and satin every day, brocade clothes and jade food, isn't it beautiful!"

As he spoke, the man in charge stretched out his arm to hug her, and this was worth it? Feng Xueqi immediately opened her small mouth and bit viciously on the hand where the man was holding her.

The man was in pain and immediately let go of his hand, and Feng Xueqi hurriedly ran up with his little broken bowl.

"Help, someone has abducted and sold children!" Feng Xueqi shouted loudly, but the people around him only watched, and none of them were willing to come forward to help.

"Ahh

"Little slut, I bite me so hard, I'm bleeding! I'll tell you, you have to leave if you don't go with me today, brothers, arrest her, let's go to Mother Wang for money!"

Hearing the words of the man in charge, the two men behind him immediately rushed towards Feng Xueqi, Feng Xueqi gritted her teeth and got up from the snow with tears in her eyes, completely ignoring her broken knees, and ran forward like crazy.

However, before he ran two steps, he was blocked by a vendor selling sugar gourds, and seeing that two strong men were about to come, Feng Xueqi grabbed the pole full of sugar gourds and threw it at the two behind him.

"Luckily I got a bunch first, little one, what's going on?"

This voice, warm as jade, seemed to be a fire in the ice and snow, which made Feng Xueqi feel a trace of warmth inexplicably.

She looked up and saw a man dressed in white, holding a string of fiery red sugar gourds standing there, under the snow-like hat, there was a warm and warm face, the slightly hooked corners of the mouth, the most beautiful smile she had ever seen in her life, and the eyes as clear as a clear spring made her completely intoxicated.

Feng Xueqi didn't expect that this drunkenness would be a lifetime......

"Brother...... Brother, save me, the bad guys are chasing me and want to sell me to Jade Xuan!"

The man squatted down, rubbed Xiao Xueqi's head, smiled and handed her the sugar gourd in his hand, and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, brother will help you beat them away, this sugar gourd is sweet, you can eat it." ”

On that day, the sweetness of that string of sugar gourds remained in Feng Xueqi's heart forever, and this sweetness and sourness was the existence she vowed to protect for the rest of her life.
