Chapter 107: Sold at a low price
A ray of sunshine shone on the melodious body, she felt the warmth brought by the sun, it was so comfortable, it turned out that death was not painful at all. She slowly closed her eyes, enjoying the moment of relief that death brings.
"It's not going to be dead, is it?" The sudden sound brought Melodious back to reality.
Melodious opened his eyes and looked at everything above his head, it turned out that the lid of the swill bucket had been opened, and outside the bucket stood several men and a woman dressed in a bewitching dress, an old woman to be exact.
The old woman covers her nose. "It stinks!"
"Wash it and it will be clean!" A man sells and melodiously recognizes this voice, this is the bad guy who has kidnapped himself.
The old woman said with a look of disdain: "This appearance is also average, the face is sallow, there will be no disease!"
The other man continued to pitch. "Absolutely not sick, this looks like a hungry, as long as you are fed, you will recover your spirits!"
The old woman looked at it again and offered the price. "That's five taels of silver at most!"
A faceless man spoke up, glancing at the old woman thief as he spoke. "Sister, you see that in this peaceful and prosperous world, women are not very easy to handle, you see you add more!"
The old woman said again: "At most, ten taels, and it's not a big girl with yellow flowers, selling ten taels with this posture is already a high price!"
After saying that, the old woman turned around again and wanted to leave.
The men compromised. "Okay, ten taels is ten taels!"
Melodious looking at the eyes above her head, she was being observed like a giant panda at this time, she never thought that one day she would be sold at a bargain like goods, and it was only sold for ten taels, is she really so bad?
Melodious wanted to refute, but he couldn't make a sound when he moved his chapped lips.
In this way, Melodious was sold into a green building called "Xunfang Pavilion" at a low price of "ten taels", and she finally got rid of the swill bucket and was locked in a small room in the backyard of Xunfang Pavilion.
Melodious and weakly lying on the ground unable to move, suddenly a pair of small feet appeared in front of him, and a pair of three-inch embroidered shoes were stained with a little blood. She shuddered, looked up slightly, and it turned out to be a delicate little girl, who seemed to be eight or nine years old, and the little girl was looking at her in fear.
Melodious smiled at the girl, looking at the girl covered in bruises, she should have been taken here as she was. "Hello!"
At this time, the lock on the door was suddenly opened, and the little girl hid in the corner in a panic, looking at the person at the door with a defensive face.
The person who came held a food plate, there was a plate of tofu and a bowl of rice in it, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva melodiously, she would starve to death if she didn't eat, and now she could eat even a cockroach.
The person who came had a bad attitude and yelled, "Eat quickly!"
If the poor doesn't eat the food that comes to her, can't she eat it?
However, there are some old Chinese sayings that are good, the big husband can bend and stretch, stay in the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years......
After melodious psychological construction, she threw aside these vain things such as self-esteem and shame for the time being, and ate it regardless of the sour smell emitted by her body.
The visitor saw that Melodious ate it, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked straight to the little girl's side, waved his hand and slapped the little girl a few times, threatening: "If you don't go out to serve, I will kill you!"
The little girl didn't even make a sound crying at this time, and the person who came glared at the little girl viciously a few times before turning to leave.
Melodious looking at the backs of the people who came and went, a mouthful of food was stuck in her throat so raw, how would they torture her in order to let her pick up guests, what was she about to greet?
After eating melodiously, he had the strength to take a bath with the water sent by the old bustard, and got rid of the sour smell.
Melodious walked to the corner, looked at the injured little girl, and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The little girl was a little nervous, and she whispered, "My name is Xiaofeng!"
Seeing that the little girl seemed to be afraid, Melodious Yang took her hand and said, "When did you come in, and were you also taken captive?"
The little girl shook her head, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "I was sold by my father half a month ago!"
Melodious and angry, she said: "There is such a bad father!" But after thinking about it, she is not protected now, and she still has the heart to care about other people's affairs, and she is completely convinced that she has no heart and lungs.
The little girl cried when she mentioned her father, and she retorted: "Dad is not bad, Dad is also to support the family."
Melodious no longer continued to interrogate, she gently lifted the little girl's sleeve, and saw that her skin was full of shocking scars, her heart twitched, and she was surprised: "Do these animals beat you every day?"
The little girl nodded. "If I refuse to go out and serve, they will beat me!"
The "squeak" door was suddenly opened, and the old bustard entered the room with a few big men.
The old bustard looked melodious up and down, and said, "Sure enough, after eating and bathing, people are in good spirits!"
Melodious was looked at a little hairy, looked at the bustard vigilantly, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The old bustard smiled and pouted: "Of course I let you go out to pick up guests, otherwise what do you think my mother will buy you back for?"
What to do? How can I escape?
Melodious brain spun rapidly, looking for a way to escape, she said, "Do you know my identity!"
The old bustard crossed his eyebrows. "Who are you?"
Melodious and loud voice: "I am Princess Wu, do you know what will happen if I let me pick up guests!"
She had no other way at this time, so she had to take out her identity and gamble, if there were other ways, she really didn't want to have anything to do with that negative man at this time.
The old bustard sneered: "Hmph, who doesn't know that Princess Wu is dead, am I a fool when you are a mother?"
Yes, the emperor has not re-granted the title, she is indeed nothing now, and Princess Wu no longer exists in the eyes of the world.
The old bustard smiled sarcastically, and said: "I don't care if you are a princess or a princess, the girl who came to my Xunfang Pavilion is here, no matter what your identity is, you must receive guests."
Melodious watched the powder on the old bustard's face continue to fall down with the wriggling lips, sneering, she said coldly: "What if I don't take it?"
The old bustard snorted coldly and said, "You'd better get to know each other better, and avoid the pain of flesh and skin, besides, Mom, I have a lot of ways to deal with you disobedient girls!" You will be called Phoenix in the future, and your dream of being a princess will come true. ”
"Phoenix?" It's funny, and one more name.
"I don't care who your name used to be, you have to change your name when you come here. Let you go today, tomorrow you dress up and go out to pick up the guests for me, a good mother will not treat you badly. After speaking, the old bustard twisted his waist and walked out, followed by four strong men behind him.
Melodious and wry, she at least has a night's rest.
The next day, early in the morning, the bustard appeared in front of Melodious as scheduled.
The old bustard took a leather whip in his hand and said, "Phoenix, what are you thinking?" Do you take the initiative, or do you force my mother to do it? ”
Melodious smiled at the old bustard, she said, "I've thought about it, I'll pick up the guests!"
Xiaofeng cried and suddenly shouted and ran towards Melodious, she said: "Sister don't, there is no turning back after picking up the guest!"
"Shut up! Cheap girl! The old bustard waved the leather whip and hit Xiaofeng, and the melodious pounced on the little girl without thinking about it, and the leather whip fell on her back in response, and the clothes bloomed the moment they were whipped by the whip.
Melodious was a little painful, her body was still very weak, but now she was whipped so hotly, she said: "She's still young, you let her go first!" I'll just pick her up! ”
"How do you pick up customers like this?" The old bustard looked at the blood mark drawn from the whip on Melodious back and scolded angrily, "Find someone to dress her up, with her appearance, no one may choose her today!" ”
Melodious and speechless, cut, what does it mean that no one will choose me with my appearance? She scolded the eighteenth generation of the old bustard's ancestors in her heart, do you think I will obediently listen to you to pick up guests? Delusion! Auntie, I'm ready to escape! Look at my aunt, how I will clean you up after I find someone!
Melodiously lowered his voice and said to Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, my sister will save you out!"
The little girl's eyes flashed with bewilderment. (To be continued.) )
