Chapter 498: Selling Yourself

Shi Sheng looked at her in a daze, his hand slowly loosened, there were big tears falling from his eyes, and he squatted down to hide his face and cry, and there were constantly tears falling in the loess, like humble little flowers, blooming in this red world.

Ling Ruo didn't dissuade him, and let him cry uncontrollably, only in this way could he pour out the grief in his heart that was enough to make people go crazy.

It wasn't until Shi Sheng had cried enough that she went over and patted him on the back and said, "Live well, that is the best comfort for the eldest mother." ”

After a long time, Shi Sheng wiped away his tears and stood up, looked at Ling Ruo and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"I don't know how to go, maybe go to the south." In the late summer breeze, Ling Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shi Sheng was silent for a while and said, "I'll send you there." Rest assured, I will never pester you, and when you settle down, I will leave. Without waiting for Ling Ruo to refuse, he said, "I know what you are afraid of, but the people who are chasing you are so fierce and ruthless, it is too dangerous for you to go on the road alone." As for me...... Oh, my mother is gone, and I have nothing to worry about. ”

This time he was extremely stubborn, Ren Lingruo refused to change his mind even if he said it, this affection Ling Ruo was both moved and helpless, so he had to let him go.

Shi Sheng wiped his face, looked up at the sky and said, "While it's not dark yet, I'll go back again." This fire, Xuan'er's sister's house must have also suffered a disaster, I don't know if the situation is serious or not, I have to go and see. ”

After he mentioned this, Ling Ruo remembered the tragic situation he had seen in the long alley just now, and his heart was heavy and uneasy, and he said, "Let's go together, I'm also worried about Xuan'er." In order not to be recognized, Ling Ruo deliberately smeared a layer of mud on his face.

The two turned back to the long alley together, and the desolate atmosphere always shrouded the long alley that had been turned into ruins, and in this half day's work, there were many men and women kneeling outside the long alley, with charred corpses of different shapes behind them, and grass marks on their heads, all of which were sold to bury their parents and relatives, and a fire destroyed all these people, and they couldn't even afford a thin coffin, so they had to sell themselves to let their families rest in peace.

Many people gathered around there and pointed, Shi Sheng found Xuan'er in this group of people who sold their bodies, there were two charred corpses behind her, it seems that the Zheng family did not escape the fire, only Xuan'er survived.

In front of Xuan'er, there was a middle-aged woman who looked like a serious person and a few domestic servants to choose there, and one of the servants was holding her face to look left and right, and she also opened her mouth to look at her teeth, as if she was selecting livestock.

"Mom, what do you think of this?" The man asked the woman while pulling Xuan'er's mouth.

The woman twisted her waist and walked around Xuan'er, Xuan'er lowered her eyes, there was no trace of anger in her eyes, the woman looked at it for a long time and nodded: "Well, this can still be in the eyes, and the teeth and mouth are neat, so as not to frighten the guests as soon as they open their mouths." Ah Cai, buy her two thin coffins, and then take her back to Yihong Courtyard. I'll look elsewhere, the girls in this courtyard have been ransomed recently, and even Yanhong is gone, alas, we have to find some new people to make up for it, otherwise we will let the Yicui Courtyard on the other side ride on our heads. Speaking of this, she took out a fragrant handkerchief with her orchid finger, wiped her forehead and said, "Alas, I have to run around on such a hot day, and my life is really bitter." ”

"Mom worked hard." The person known as Ah Cai smiled and said: "But who doesn't know that my mother has a good eye, all the girls who have been personally selected by my mother's hand have become the top brand of our Yihong Courtyard, otherwise Yicui Courtyard will not have been pressed by us all these years." ”

"Hmph, Jin Erniang, this sao goods, with those vulgar fans under her, also want to rob me of my business, it's really her spring and autumn dream." The woman pursed her lips disdainfully, shook her handkerchief, and pointed to Xuan'er, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Okay, remember to bring her back, so good**, maybe she will be a red again in the future." ”

Although Shi Sheng didn't know the woman, he knew what the Yihong Courtyard and Yicui Courtyard were, which were the Qinglou, the most filthy and fallen Qinglou; Now that the woman bought Xuan'er, there is no need to say more, she must have wanted Xuan'er to lean on the door and laugh.

Although he didn't love Xuan'er, he didn't want to see her fall into the fire pit, and at this time, Ah Cai had already taken out the silver and threw it to the person next to him, asking him to buy two thin coffins. Shi Sheng rushed up with an arrow step, pulled off the grass mark on Xuan'er's head and threw it on the ground, "She won't sell it." ”

Ah Cai's eyes were raised, and he glanced at Shi Sheng up and down and sneered: "Where did you come from, don't make trouble here, get out of here." ”

Hearing Shi Sheng's voice, Xuan'er, who was numb, raised her head, only to see her pulling her pale lips and saying indifferently: "Go away, you don't have to worry about my business." ”

Shi Sheng didn't expect to hear such an answer, so he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said: "They are from Qinglou, and they want to buy you ......."

"You're going to make me a girl, right?" Xuan'er interrupted him indifferently, "So what, this is my own business, what does it have to do with you!" ”

"Stunned boy, did you hear it, everyone said it themselves, it has nothing to do with you, don't get out of here, don't get in the way anymore, don't blame the master for being polite." With Ah Cai's words, the few people who were with him surrounded him, obviously with bad intentions.

Shi Sheng didn't understand why Xuan'er would talk like this, and even jumped into the fire pit knowing that it was a fire pit, but he would never be able to ignore Xuan'er. When his father died early, Uncle Zheng had always helped their mother and son, and now that Uncle Zheng and his wife have died, he has the responsibility to take care of Xuan'er.

"I'm not leaving, and she won't sell it to you." Shi Sheng stubbornly stood in front of Xuan'er, didn't give up half a step, and then glanced back at Xuan'er, and said slowly but surely: "Also, you are my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, how can your business have nothing to do with me." ”

The daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door......

Xuan'er looked up at him, a little stunned, if a few days ago, she would have been happy to hear this, but now, after being stunned, there was only a deep shame, especially after seeing Ling Ruo where Shi Sheng was standing, although she deliberately painted her face, but she was so close and an acquaintance, how could she not recognize it.

Shi Sheng obviously can't let go of this woman, but he still wants to say that she is a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, is this considered sympathy? Pity? She doesn't want it! She doesn't need to!

Uncle Cai's eyes widened, "Stinky boy, you are looking for a fight!" The person we have a crush on Mother Yang also dares to rob it, give it to me! Fight to the death! Under his greeting, those people raised their fists and greeted Shi Sheng, although Shi Sheng had some strength, but his two fists were hard to beat four hands, not to mention the kung fu of this day and night, he almost did not enter the water and rice, and his strength was inevitably exhausted, and he was hit several times in a while.

"You go, I said I don't want you to be nosy!" Although she hated Shi Sheng's refusal to marry, seeing Shi Sheng being beaten at this moment, Xuan'er couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in her heart and yelled at him.

Shi Sheng didn't answer, but the move of firmly protecting Xuan'er in front of him has explained everything, Uncle Zheng is gone, he must protect Xuan'er on behalf of Uncle Zheng.
