Chapter 19: Kerr

When Li Anyue was about to walk back to the inn with a sugar gourd in one hand and osmanthus cake in the other, he saw a bunch of people in front of him, and they were still noisy.

Li Anyue herself is not interested in watching the excitement, she has always firmly believed: "Curiosity kills cats", so whenever someone is gathered in a pile, she must stay away. But if she wants to go back to the inn, she has to pass through this human wall, taking a deep breath, Li Anyue squeezed into the crowd, but she didn't expect to be squeezed to the front of the line, Li Anyue sighed helplessly, holding up the sugar gourd and osmanthus cake and shouting, "I'm sorry, let me go!" "I'm going to squeeze it out again.

"You scoundrels! Let me go! A poignant voice in the noise attracted Li Anyue's attention.

Li Anyue turned her head to look at the source of the voice, at the door of the "Chunsheng Pavilion", a girl was being pulled by several men, and there was an old woman with shabby clothes and white hair lying on the ground. It was a big man bullying a woman again, Li Anyue looked at them with disdain, and secretly used internal force to knock out a few sugar gourds in his hand, hitting the forehead, eyes, nose, and neck of several big men.

"Dare to plot against Lao Tzu! Who is it? Stand up for me! Several people looked around in a hurry, and the people around them who were originally full of circles instantly retreated, but Li Anyue did not move, as if he had taken the initiative to stand forward.

"Stinky boy, are you plotting against Lao Tzu?" One of the leaders asked disdainfully, staring at the slender young man in front of him.

"Master I don't remember that there is such a shameless rabbit cub as you, what kind of man is a few big men bullying a little girl and an old woman! Or have you been in the brothel for so long that you have forgotten that you are a man? Li Anyue sneered and mocked, and the people around her laughed when they heard what she said.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" The strong man was annoyed and angry, and he was about to make a move.

"I said that there is no shameless rabbit cub of yours!" Li Anyue's face was slightly cold, and the last sugar gourd hit his mouth, making him block his throat for a while, and the whole person couldn't swallow or vomit. When the others saw that their boss was like this, they all rushed over in a fit of rage. Li Anyue was not afraid, she threw out the sugar gourd stick, and put down a few big men with a few brushes, and the crowd of onlookers applauded one after another, and secretly talked about who this handsome young man was.

"Childe is not only handsome, but also very handsome, I don't know Childe's name?" At this time, a woman with heavy makeup and bright makeup, wearing a bright red long gauze skirt and a red light gauze jacket walked out from the Chunsheng Pavilion, and her facial features were quite charming, but it was a pity that this heavy makeup had a little more of the breath of a dusty woman.

"Yo, Chunsheng Pavilion's mother Mengniang has come out."

"Mengniang's sharp mouth, I don't know if this young man can still withstand it."

"I guess this boy doesn't have any good fruit to eat."

……

The eyes of the surrounding people shifted to Li Anyue and Mengniang, and they all guessed which one had the better chance of gaining the upper hand.

"Chunsheng Pavilion? Are you the bustard? Li Anyue looked at the people around her amusedly, and then turned her head to look at the woman in front of her.

"It's Mengniang, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" is worthy of being an old bustard, although Mengniang is full of anger, but now she is still smiling faintly, and a silk embroidered handkerchief is thrown over, and the heavy fat powder fragrance makes Li Anyue frown.

"Passerby A, I just can't help but make a move when I can't help but make a move when a few big men bully a little girl, these men must be your people." Li Anyue raised her eyebrows, walked past her and picked up the old man who fell to the ground.

"Thank you, Master Lu." The old man got up from the ground tremblingly, and couldn't help but kneel, Li Anyue hurriedly helped her up again, signaling that there was no need.

"May I ask who Gongzi Lu is?" Mengniang thought carefully in her heart that there was still a family surnamed Lu in Tianyang City who dared to make trouble in her own building.

Listening to them call themselves a Lu Gongzi, Li Anyue suddenly felt funny in her heart, since you think so, think so, Li Anyue ignored her, and just asked how the little girl and the old man were.

The little girl had messy hair at this time, and there were marks of being beaten on her face, but she looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate facial features and clear eyes, and she looked like a simple child.

Meng Niang saw that Li Anyue was directly ignoring herself, and her face lost her original stable smile, and she said coldly, "Lu Gongzi, these two people owe me the silver of Chunsheng Pavilion, and Meng Niang advises Gongzi not to meddle in things." ”

"You're a liar! It was you who said that you could treat your grandmother's illness so I signed a contract with you to sell your art, and you didn't say that you were selling yourself at all! As soon as the little girl heard Mengniang's words, she began to cry anxiously.

"I'm just doing what I'm contracted."

Oh, I know that it is not a good thing, Li Anyue glanced at the woman in front of her coldly, and her disdainful look did not hide it at all, "I am a lot old, my body is not clean, and I can't see other girls, okay?" ”

Everyone covered their mouths and snickered when they heard this explicit words, this young man was so young and his mouth was really poisonous. Sure enough, Mengniang's eyes were about to burst into flames when she heard this, and she stared at Li Anyue through gritted teeth.

"Childe's words are not right, everyone has their own means of making a living, I, the girls of Chunsheng Pavilion, have a hard life, and have to come out to earn their own money, Childe doesn't wronged other girls?"

"I will climb up the pole, for me, all walks of life in the world have their own reasons for existence, and I will not say which is good and which is bad, let alone look down on these women, but I am biased against those who bully and make money with a conscience."

"How much do you owe this woman?" Li Anyue didn't even look at the woman, and asked the little girl next to her softly.

"Hui Gongzi, I owe twenty taels of silver."

Just twenty taels are going to sell an underage girl into the Qinglou! Li Anyue snorted coldly, "The money they owe you, I will pay it back for them." ”

"Childe wants to be a hero to save beauty? This girl is not happy anymore! Mengniang naturally knew what her idea was, and now that she was being ridiculed in front of so many people, of course she was unwilling to release people for this bit of silver.

"I'm sorry to call myself a girl." Li Anyue's small sarcasm just fell into everyone's ears, causing another burst of laughter, "They owe you money, and I pay them back, what's your business?" ”

"You!" Meng Niang looked at everyone's eyes and looked at Li Anyue, who looked calm in front of her, and was angry for a while, "She is already a person from my Chunsheng Pavilion according to the contract, and I have the right not to sell it!" ”

"You talk nonsense! The contract stipulates that the day of repayment is obviously tomorrow, and you see that my grandmother and I will definitely not be able to pay back the money, so we will be taken captive! When the little girl heard this, she puffed back.

"Oh? It seems that the contract has not yet taken effect. Originally, Li Anyue didn't know what to do for a while, but at this time she also put her mind at ease, "You do things according to the contract, and I will do things according to the contract, and take the twenty taels of silver." Girl, mother-in-law, let's go. Li Anyue sneered, took out twenty taels of silver from his arms, threw them in front of her without looking, and pulled the two people behind him away.

"Stop, stop! You don't want to stop me! Meng Niang was so angry that she was about to command the big men around her to go up and stop them, but Li Anyue turned around and threw a pill into her open mouth.

"Y-What did you give me?" Mengniang involuntarily swallowed the pill, wanting to vomit but couldn't.

"Poison."

"How dare you...... If you offend Chunsheng Pavilion, don't even think about living tomorrow! When Mengniang heard that it was poison, her face turned white with fright, and she still shouted at the backs of the three of them unwillingly.

"Hahahaha, that passerby is waiting for you in the Lu Mansion." Li Anyue laughed gloating without concealing it, you can look for it, I am afraid that there is no son who calls passer-by A after searching all over Tianyang City.

At this time, Mengniang didn't care about chasing her, she felt unbearable pain in her abdomen, and hurriedly covered her stomach and asked someone to come over.

After they left, Tianyang City suddenly spread, a young man surnamed Lu dared to offend Chunsheng Pavilion to save the beauty of a hero, and it was rumored that the boy and the girl both eloped hand in hand, in short, how to spread it, and it became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner for a while.

At this time, she was following the two into a small alley behind Zhengyang Street, the alley is very narrow, there is a small door every other place on both sides, some doors are open, a few old ladies in front of the door are sitting and chatting, and when they see Li Anyue and they come over, they also pay attention to the welcome to the newcomer. They stopped at a small, dilapidated door, which had now been kicked open, leaving a few stray footprints on it.

When I walked in, I found that there were broken clay pots, porcelain bowls, and clothes and bedding that were messily thrown on the ground, and there was no place to stay, "It must have been done by the people of Chunsheng Pavilion, these bad people!" ”。 The girl was so angry that she cried, and the old woman on the side also wiped her tears silently.

"You better get out of here quickly, those people can't tell what they will do, I can only protect you for a while, if something happens in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you." Li Anyue shook his head, he thought that this Tianyang Kingdom was a peaceful country, but he didn't expect it to be still dark.

"Childe." The girl knelt down in front of Li Anyue when she heard this.

"What are you doing here?" Li Anyue wanted to pull her up, but she didn't want to, this ancient person is just not good, he kneels at every turn, and he doesn't know if he kneels too much and is prone to rheumatism.

"Childe, Kerr and grandma thank Childe for saving his life, Kerr and Grandma have depended on each other since childhood, and Childe's kindness Kerr cannot be repaid. If the son does not give up, Ke'er is willing to serve the son for the rest of his life and be a slave and a maid. Ke'er said with a small red face with teary eyes.

Li Anyue looked at the girl in front of her in a daze, this girl couldn't be looking at her handsome and dashing and wanted to make a promise, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Miss Ke'er, you don't even know if my real surname is Lu, how dare you say that you will serve me for life? Besides, wouldn't you be sad if I had a group of wives and concubines, and you could only stay by my side as a little slave? ”

“…… Kerr willing. ”

"In this case, Miss Ke'er looks good, so you can be my eighteenth concubine."

“…… Because of the son's rescue, Ke'er was spared the fate of falling into the Qinglou, as long as the son spoke, Ke'er was willing to serve the child. ”
