Chapter Twenty-One: The Past: White Implications
When he saw the true face of Brother Gongzi, he was shocked and annoyed in his heart, it was Cheng Yunan who robbed the people's girls under this order, and immediately stood up and shouted: "This bastard is really doing nonsense, it's just too much!"
He wanted to help, but was stopped by the kind-hearted shopkeeper: "This guest officer, don't be a hero for a while, leaving endless troubles! This person is the heart and liver treasure of the Five Elements Sect, and ordinary people don't dare to provoke him." ”
Someone persuaded him, and he swallowed it hard. Because he knew in his heart that if he offended the Cheng family, it would be even more difficult to get Yuling back.
However, in the short moment when he hesitated, Cheng Yunan's subordinates beat the old man to death.
The girl's crying and wailing resounded throughout the restaurant, Zhou Sumo was instantly stunned in place, he felt that he had not helped the old man in time to die tragically, and the girl had no relatives.
Just when he was about to make a second move, the kind-hearted shopkeeper gave advice again: "Guest officer, you don't have to offend the Five Elements Gate for the sake of two stinky people!"
Hearing this, Zhou Sumo couldn't help but mutter: "This shopkeeper is indeed for my good, he could have left me alone." But...... Why are people in this world divided into three, six, nine, and so on, some people are born high, while others are as humble as ants until they die? ”
Looking at the messy girl in front of him, Zhou Sumo couldn't help but sigh, and his desire to get Yuling was even more determined. Only by becoming stronger can you destroy these shameless villains.
Even if there was a fatality, Cheng Yunan still shouted "withdraw" nonchalantly, and those people finally let go of the girl in shabby clothes.
The girl's crying shoulders rose and fell, and Zhou Sumo squatted beside her with a guilty heart: "Little sister, I invite you to dinner and buy new clothes for you...... Okay?"
"Hmm. The girl wiped away her tears and nodded: "Thank you, officer, if you can bury my grandfather for me, the little girl is willing to serve you as a slave and a maid for life." ”
The next moment, Zhou Sumo hurriedly took out a gold ingot and threw it on the shopkeeper: "Open an upper room for this girl, send some meals to warm the stomach and nourish the body, and then find someone to bury the old man well, and the rest of the money will be used as hard work." ”
After that, Zhou Sumo walked out of the restaurant with a heavy heart, and it was not until dusk that he came to the girl's room with two sets of new dresses: "Give you all these clothes, throw this one away! Forget the past and live well." ”
Leaving his things behind, he closed the door and withdrew.
"Why is this happening? What did my father do wrong, what did the people of Dragon and Phoenix City do wrong? Why did the four sect masters kill people so cruelly?"
Just as he was imagining, the shopkeeper suddenly walked up to him and accosted him: "Why is the guest officer sighing here alone? If you have any troubles, you might as well talk to the little one, maybe I can help one or two." ”
Zhou Sumo suddenly thought of a way to change the day, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where to buy a jade pendant similar to Cheng Yunan's body?
After thinking about it seriously, the shopkeeper scratched his hair a little embarrassedly: "Cheng Gongzi's things must be extremely valuable, and I really don't know where to buy the small ones." The people who come to eat here are also well-known people, but most of them give cash.
Unless it is the Lingque Pavilion opposite, the girls there can often come into contact with dignitaries or merry talents, and maybe a guest official will generously reward a piece of jade pendant. ”
"Spirit, magpie, pavilion. Zhou Sumo read the name very seriously.
Seeing that there was no one around, the shopkeeper leaned into his ear and said: "In fact, it is the Qinglou, many sons of the family have been immersed in the gentle countryside and forget to return, and Cheng Yunan is a frequent visitor." It can be described as a mixed bag, if there is any movement in the Jingyun Continent, they are the first to know about it. ”
Zhou Sumo asked, "Do all the children of the family like to go to the Qinglou?"
The shopkeeper covered his mouth and laughed: "Some are for listening to dance and watching music, and some are purely for ...... I don't say it, and the guest officer understands. But then again, if I had money, I'd go!"
"Thanks, I see. After saying this, Zhou Sumo hurriedly walked out.
With a "squeak" sound, the girl pushed open the door, and she couldn't find Zhou Sumo's figure for a long time, so she inquired like the shopkeeper: "Is that son gone?"
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "I guess I went to the Lingque Pavilion on the other side!"
The girl with a lost face slammed the door shut, tears slowly sliding from the corners of her eyes, and her face was full of grievances: "Have you abandoned me like this? Why do you let me see hope, but at the same moment make me feel hopeless......
I don't know how long later, the sad girl suddenly heard a sound of wandering footsteps, and she hurriedly shouted: "Son, please come in! The slave family has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Hearing the call, Zhou Sumo pushed the door in, but was taken aback.
After some careful grooming and dressing, the girl looks like a slim little jasper. Such a pure and lovely appearance is really judging the two of them with the little flower child, and there is still a bit of charm in the eyebrows and eyes.
Looking at it, Zhou Sumo couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face: "You are so beautiful, just like a goddess on the snow mountain." ”
The girl did not dodge, but put her hand on his arm, and her expression was very charming: "From now on, the meaning is the person of the child! As long as it is what the prince commands, all the implications will be done. ”
Zhou Sumo quickly retracted his hand, and then asked, "Your name is Yunyi, what is your surname, how old is this year, and where is your hometown?"
The girl replied seriously: "My name is Bai Yunyi, and I am seventeen years old this year, but I ...... It means that there is no home, and Childe's home is my home. ”
Zhou Sumo waved his hand and said, "I really shouldn't ask more, you don't have to worry about the past in the future, it will be uncomfortable to think about it." ”
Bai Yunyi nodded very obediently, "Yes!" ”
After a while, Zhou Sumo took out a stack of silver tickets, "This money is enough for you to live for the rest of your life, get out of here as soon as possible, lest they trouble you again." ”
Bai Yun pushed the silver ticket back without thinking about it: "Childe's money, I don't want it." I'm a weak woman who can't be restrained, even if I'm rich...... I will still be bullied. It means that I just want to follow you to repay your kindness, even if it is to be a little maid, so that we can rely on each other. ”
Zhou Sumo decisively rejected her request: "The situation in our family is very complicated, so I can't take strangers home at will." But I can get you a good job, do you know how to be a girl, embroidery, or anything like that? Not really, even if you can only stir up some simple meals. ”
No matter what he asked, Bai Yunyi would only shake his head vigorously.
This time it was Zhou Sumo's turn to make a difficulty, and he could only hear him say in a tone of hatred: "You don't know anything but begging?" Then you know that in this troubled world...... Is there only one place where a woman like you, who has no power, no power, and no wealth, can survive except begging for food? Do you know where it is?"
After asking the last sentence, Zhou Sumo slowly brought his face closer to her, "Answer me!"
Bai Yunyi replied calmly: "What Gongzi is referring to is just the kind of building of the Lingque Pavilion opposite! In the midst of extreme hunger, my grandfather has more than once moved the idea of selling me there. If it weren't for my repeated deaths, I would have been there by now. ”
Surprisingly, Bai Yunyi hugged Zhou Sumo tightly in the next moment, "If the son likes it, Yunyi can give himself to you today...... It's better than cheapening the wicked. ”
Zhou Sumo pushed her away unhurriedly: "White girl, girls still have to love themselves." I'm not one of those playboys out there, and I'm not interested in you. ”
Leaving these words, he raised his feet and walked out, Bai Yunyi reached out to pull his sleeve and was also thrown away: "If you continue to be entangled like this, I will never come back." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yunyi hurriedly knelt down and hugged his thigh: "Childe, don't be angry! Yunyi knows that I am wrong, I am not one of those frivolous women, I just want to find someone to protect me." I've really had enough of those days of being helpless and being looked down upon...... As long as Childe is willing to take me with him, I promise to listen to you for everything. ”
Zhou Sumo suddenly thought of something and squatted down: "Are you really willing to do anything in order to stay by my side?"
Bai Yunyi nodded vigorously: "I swear, everything is according to Gongzi's orders, no matter what you ask me to do, I am willing to do it for you." ”
Gliding the back of his hand over her cheek, Zhou Sumo said indifferently: "But you don't know anything, the only value is yourself, are you willing to do it for me...... Are you going to accompany those men?"
"Childe...... Even if you want to send me to the Qinglou?" After asking this sentence, something crystal began to appear in Bai Yunyi's eyes, and her body trembled slightly.
Zhou Sumo was also very tormented in his heart, and then pinched her shoulder: "Because I need your help! If you help me find out what I want from those men, I can make an exception - help you settle down." It doesn't matter if you don't get anything all the time, at most half a year...... I'll definitely find you a home. ”
Looking at her face that was gradually distorted because of pain, Zhou Sumo slowly let go of her shoulders: "Of course, you can choose not to help me, it's okay." ”
After crying for a while, Bai Yunyi asked, "If I don't help you, are you still willing to give me a home?"
