Chapter Forty-Eight: Xiao Yan
Ling Xiao and Chi Yuan ignored them at all, the two of them looked around with unrelenting eyes, they looked around and didn't see the man with the hat just now.
The two women in the Qinglou who were soliciting guests at the door before seemed to have taken a fancy to Ling Xiao, and if the women in the Qinglou saw a good-looking man, they would naturally not be as reserved and dignified as a lady, they were usually very active. They watched Ling Xiao walk towards the Qinglou, presumably also here to have fun, out of habitual sticking to him, but he pushed away with a palm and fell to the ground, the woman struggled in pain on the ground, as if her whole body was suffering from piercing pain.
Another woman, seeing her good sister being pushed to the ground, was angry in her heart, and wanted to drive Ling Xiao and Chi Yuan away, so she said: "We don't need your two sons' money here!" This is not a place for you to lose your temper, how many of my good sisters are in pain? How dare you hit someone! Dressed in a dignified manner, it is really a human-faced beast's heart! As soon as she finished speaking, this Tsing Yi received a slap in the chest, although Chi Yuan hit it with a palm behind her back, but it made her feel a pain like cracking her ribs, but this time it was Chi Yuan who hit her.
"Shameless!" The person who spoke was Chi Yuan, and his tone and expression were very disdainful.
"We are shameless! You are noble, and you will not come here. The woman in green clothes fell to the ground, holding one hand on the ground and the other on her chest, and said hatefully.
The old bustard in front of the counter saw that something was wrong near the door, so he hurriedly went to see the situation, and saw Tsing Yi and another woman at the door who was soliciting customers both falling to the ground, thinking that someone dared to make trouble in their Xianyue Building.
"Two sons, the girls of my family, not everyone can fight, you better give me an explanation!" After finishing speaking, five burly and strong men in armor with long knives in their hands also stood up, and the people around them dispersed, and most of them fled as if they were deserted, running out of this Xianyue Tower, because they had a hunch that there might be a fight here, and some noble sons who were not bad at kung fu stayed here to watch the excitement, and when the time was ripe, they also showed their skills.
"Confess? Did I let her touch it? Ling Xiao said coldly.
"She touches you, you dislike it, if you think it's really hateful, you can push it away, the meaning is fine, you dare to hurt someone, this is your explanation?!"
Canglan looked down, and sure enough, it was Ling Xiao and Chi Yuan.
Xiao Yan was about to close the door, but was startled by the movement downstairs, so Canglan closed the door, and then turned to Xiao Yan and asked, "Your name is Xiao Yan, right?" ”
"Hmm!" That Xiao Yan nodded hard.
"Can you help us?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yan's green face was slightly stunned, she really hadn't reacted yet, the two of them in front of her were strangers, not to mention how she could help.
"Do you see that fierce brother downstairs?" Canglan raised her hand and pointed behind her, although it was the door, everyone understood that she was referring to the two very arrogant men downstairs outside the door.
"He's just going to kill us right now, so we'll probably have to hide here later, please help us."
"Good! Good! OK! What do you want me to do? She swallowed her throat and replied very nervously, but there was still some happiness in her heart, fortunately she hadn't met anyone who really wanted to do anything to her, although she had been staying in the Qinglou, it was a matter of time, but it would be a day to delay.
"There's nothing you need to do." Su Suxuan said very calmly.
"Huh? Oh... Good! Xiao Yan originally wanted to ask why, but after all, she was not very familiar with them, so she didn't need to ask, she just had to do what they said.
"Let's wait and see what happens, he has provoked so many people now, and he won't be able to come for a while." Su Suxuan said in a low voice.
The voice from downstairs came up, "We're just looking for someone, and we'll leave after looking for someone." Ling Xiao still said coldly.
Then came the bustard's voice: "Looking for someone, are you looking for someone or beating someone?" Do you think I'm going to be left to you by the people who beat me up on my turf and want to mess around and make a mess of it?! Give it to me! ”
As a result, the sound of fighting was heard above, and the movement was very loud, and there were "clanging" rings everywhere.
Canglan suddenly admired the woman downstairs very much, she actually dared to confront Ling Xiao face to face, and she was not afraid of offending anyone or a noble son, and she seemed to be a very powerful character.
"She's going to do it face to face with Ling Xiao like this, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?" Canglan asked.
"Xianyue Building has the support of the three princes, so it's not like anyone can do whatever they want here." Su Suxuan clasped her hands in front of her chest.
"No wonder, you're running here!" Canglan suddenly woke up.
"So we don't have to worry about the fights and kills. Someone to hold us up! We just have to watch the play. ”
"It's because we're being chased and ruining this scene."
"Don't worry, it can't be broken, this Xianyue Building has money."
"But, third prince, why? Want to support this Xianyue Building? ”
"It's just a matter of taking in some women, but they're all of your own free will. The woman who sat downstairs in the center just now and played and sang, she only sang and didn't sell her body, of course, there are also people who sell her body here, but you need to sign a contract. Many of the women here are orphans, have no one to take care of them, and have no source of income, so they have to do this. ”
"Voluntary? So did she do it voluntarily? I don't think she's willing to do so? She glanced at Xiao Yan who was beside her.
"I... I... I... I volunteered..."Finally, it took a long time to say the last sentence, as if he was also embarrassed because of this sentence.
"Ah, you volunteered?"
"Well, yes, I don't have any skills, and I can't sing or dance..."
"Are you really voluntary?" Canglan asked again.
"My mother is seriously ill and now needs a lot of money to heal, I can't raise so much money to find other workshops and restaurants, they don't need me like this... I can't help it..."
"So you chose... With such ... Method"
She nodded, although she couldn't see her face, Canglan could feel that she was extremely uncomfortable at this time.
"It's okay... This boy is right, there are many people here, actually... It's all voluntary, because most of them are orphans, and I'm already lucky..."
"But I think that woman just now is very powerful, don't you feel offended?" When I thought of the old bustard just now, he was not afraid of the two big men Ling Xiao and Chi Yuan, but was very strong, let alone the women here.
"Did you say Sanniang? She's just talking fiercely on weekdays, but I've been here for a month, and I've been... There is no pick-up. I think she probably didn't want me to force it. But she still paid me. I have the money to buy medicine for my mother, and this time I also volunteered to come out, but my performance is not good enough..."
"So that's the case..."Canglan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yan with some pity.
Xiao Yan continued: "And on weekdays, if the girls are hurt or wronged, Sanniang will definitely come forward to settle these matters in person." So no one will ever hit any girl here, I've been here for a month, and the order here is fine, and today is the first time such a thing has happened. ”
"......" After listening to Xiao Yan, all kinds of complicated emotions surged up in Canglan's heart for a while, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him? But comfort is useless to her, can it help her? What she needs most is money, but she doesn't have it... But is it really good to be desperate like this, and choose to take a black road? Is it really voluntary?
"Su Suxuan...", she was stuck just after shouting her name, in fact, she wanted to say, "I want to redeem her, is it okay?" Can you help her cure her mother's illness? But he never spoke.
Su Suxuanpi walked to the table by himself, poured two cups of tea, one to Canglan and one to Xiao Yan.
"Ahh This... Thank you, Childe! Obviously they were the guests, but the boy poured himself tea, frightened and a little grateful.
Then Su Suxuan asked slowly, "Can you describe your mother's condition?" ”
"My mother must have worked day and night, now her legs hurt, even walking is a problem, I asked a lot of doctors before, although they have been cured, but they can't be eradicated, after a period of time, it is getting worse and worse, and now it is so serious that you can only lie in bed. I also have a six-year-old sister at home who is looking after her. Childe, why do you ask this? ”
"He's a doctor!" Canglan smiled softly, although he didn't expect Su Suxuan to be able to redeem her, but now he was already asking about Xiao Yan's sick mother's situation.
"Ah, this son! Yes, it's a doctor!! Unexpectedly very surprised, she looked at Canglan excitedly, and then looked at this clear-eyed son, she didn't expect him to be a doctor at all, her index fingers were intertwined, and she couldn't stop pinching and pressing, as if reminding herself to calm down, but she still couldn't suppress the hope surging in her heart, and said urgently: "Then, can you save my mother?" You can ask for as much as you want, my money may not be so much now, but I will find a way in the future, I will find a way, and I will find a way to make it up for you. ”
"You don't have to have a lot of money, it seems that your mother's illness has not reached a particularly bad point at present."
"That's right! Right! The first two doctors also said the same, they both felt that it was very tricky, so does the son have a solution? ”
"Of course there is! I will prescribe you a prescription, you take it to the pharmacy to dispense this prescription, you must drink the medicine for five months in a row, and you can't stop it halfway! ”
That Xiaoyan hurriedly brought paper and pens, and then spread the rice paper on the desk neatly, even the brush was stained with ink, and presented the brush to Su Suxuan with both hands.
Su Suxuan took the brush and sat in front of the desk, the cool breeze blowing, the plain clothes and wide sleeves, gentle and elegant. Canglan and Xiao Yan stood beside him, one left and one right, watching him wave the brush, the handwriting was elegant and tilted, and it was restrained freely in the boldness, and the pen was also extremely strong where it flowed, and the force penetrated the back of the paper.
