"If you don't come from the left, or if you don't come from the right, who are you crying for?" Little Pepper snorted and came here, and when she entered the house and saw the three of them crying, she couldn't help but be angry, "It's really hard to give up, why don't you go with her!" ”

"Mother, mother, my illness will be fine...... Do you do it...... Meddlesome...... Let's do it! Zhu Niang stretched out two dry hands and hissed and begged, "Don't let me go to that kind of place......"

"Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Little Pepper stretched his face and said coldly: "I'm not ruthless, I really have no place for you to stay." I told you a long time ago that if someone ransomes you for being good, as long as they give me a capital and tell you to leave, but you can't find someone yourself, it's no wonder to me. ”

"You see I'm sick...... Who, then, wants me? Mother, you see that I have followed you since I was a child, and I have also made you a lot of money, so I will be forgiven for a few more days......" Zhu Niang got up from the bed, crying and begging, and knelt on the ground with Xiao Pepper's arm in her arms.

Pepper kept a calm face and didn't say a word.

"Mother, mother, if you don't agree...... I fell to my knees in the ...... It's ...... here" Zhu Niang burst into tears, no matter how little pepper pulled, she just refused to get up.

"Mother, mother, you eliminate the anger and the fire." Caifeng hurriedly ran over and pleaded, "That, I heard Ah Fa say that he went to raise money to redeem Sister Zhu Niang, and you have a grace day, just one day." ”

"Ah Fa, how can that poor ghost be rich?" Xiao Pepper glared at Caifeng fiercely, turned to Zhu Niang and said, "I'll be honest with you, your sales notes have been written." You have to go if you want to, you have to go if you don't want to go! Get up for me, they're still waiting upstairs!" ”

Zhu Niang's face was ashen, she was silent for a long time, gritted her teeth and stood up, without looking back, and walked out of the house.

The two third-class brothel foremen were about to take Zhu Niang away, and Xiao Pepper put on a smiling face again, said some farewell words to Zhu Niang, and took out a small bag of old clothes to give Zhu Niang as a sign of her extra grace and generosity. Zhu Niang just glanced at her coldly, lowered her head, and pushed the burden back.

Outside the door, the autumn breeze was bleak, and the yellow leaves swirled. Zhu Niang was wearing only a pair of worn cloth shoes on her feet, and the old jacket on her body was blown up by the wind from time to time. She didn't cry anymore, she didn't plead anymore, she didn't say goodbye to anyone. She just looked back at the sisters who had sent her expressionlessly, then silently lowered her head, clasped her hands to her chest, and staggered away after the man and the woman.

……………

Ah Fa rented a house on Jing'an Temple Road, which is a slum in the concession, but it is a pretty good place to live for most Chinese who make a living in Shanghai.

Two rooms and a kitchen, the toilet is in the yard, the gutter passes through the middle of the yard, cockroaches often crawl out, and the water is drawn with a pump. For these shortcomings in Ah Fa's view, others may not feel anything. The key to choosing this place is that this place belongs to the concession, and even if Xiao Pepper knows where he escaped, he doesn't dare to blatantly rob people.

Originally, Ah Fa rushed back to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to tell Caifeng the good news, but he didn't expect that Zhu Niang had already been taken away.

"You, why did you come back?" Caifeng's eyes were a little swollen, and she knew that it wasn't Ah Fa's fault, so she couldn't help complaining, "Zhu Niang was just taken away, and Xiao Pepper has already sold her to the fireworks room, so there is no hope at all." ”

The prostitutes in the fireworks were the lowest, mostly refugees who had fled the famine and came to Shanghai, or women who had been sold into brothels by evil forces. Since they had no personal freedom, they had to obey the slaughter of the bustard mother turtle male. Every day at dawn, he had to shout in the living room: "Come here! Come on! "It only costs two dimes for a pick-up, and sometimes it takes more than 10 times a day.

The class of cigarette smokers is basically a homeless young man who carries porters, water craftsmen, sedan chair drivers, dock movers, rickshaw pullers, and factory workers. Due to the large number of people who receive customers, almost all of the prostitutes in the smoke room suffer from venereal diseases. In addition to handing over all the income to the bustard mother turtle male, when there are no guests, you have to keep doing needlework and other work, which can be described as extremely difficult.

"Just now, where did you go?" Ah Fa tried hard to control his voice, he could feel the bruises on his forehead, did he delay things and hurt Zhu Niang?

"Little North Gate." Caifeng seemed to suddenly understand what Ah Fa meant, and said anxiously: "You go after it, if you find it, tell the foreman, spend money to buy Zhu Niang!" ”

Ah Fa didn't speak, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, turned around and rushed out.

It was nearly dusk, and it was autumn, and everything - far and near seemed to be covered with a haze that can only be seen in autumn. It's not that Ah Fa has a problem with his eyes, but he doesn't have time to look, passing pedestrians, shops, and yellow packets all flash quickly, he just stares ahead, hurrying.

The yellow fallen leaves rustled, trampled on the ground, swirling and drifting in the small whirlpools of wind and sand. Zhu Niang's heart is dead, like a walking corpse, staggering and moving.

"You'd better hurry up!" The male foreman urged impatiently.

"Looking at this posture, why do I think we have lost?" The female foreman frowned, rolled her eyes, and looked at Zhu Niang, "It's lifeless, don't get the money back, but people are angry." ”

"Even if you have a lively breath, you have to earn back the capital for Lao Tzu." The male foreman snorted, yawned, was a little addicted to smoking, and his temper became even more irritable, and pushed Zhu Niang, "Hurry up." ”

Zhu Niang staggered, did not look back, did not speak, and returned to the state just now like a puppet.

The female foreman glanced at the man with some displeasure and mocked: "It's better to spend money on people than to let you take all the money." This slut used to be quite famous, even if he was sick in bed, he could recruit some people, right? ”

The male foreman rolled his eyes, tears and snot flowed involuntarily. He wiped it, and couldn't help but slow down and fall behind. Ahead was the corner of a small alley, and Zhu Niang and the female foreman turned off the road and lost sight.

A powerful arm suddenly encircled the male foreman's neck from behind, and the arm bent in a V-shape at his jaw, quickly tightened; The back of the head is pushed forward forcefully, suffocation, lack of oxygen, confusion...... Without making a sound, the mauff sat down on the ground with his head down, and with his hands stretched out in vain, he fell into the infinite darkness.

Beautiful naked strangler behind the back, Ah Fa pushed the corpse, and the male foreman leaned against the wall with his head hanging like a drunk. After a quick search on the male foreman, he straightened up, Ah Fa took the money and the deed of sale into his arms, left quickly, turned a corner, and followed.
