Chapter 518: Fear of Loss
"Did you decide to marry me off in exchange for a bride price when I became an adult?"
"No," Duan Jingyi suddenly spoke, his eyes burning at the old man kneeling on the ground, "He knows that the person who came to buy you is not a serious person, and he also knows that you were not married in the past." ”
"What!" Xiao Tao couldn't stand this successive thunderbolts on a sunny day, and she didn't know what to do, she looked at the person who had been called her father for more than ten years in a daze, but saw that he really lowered his head and nodded, Xiao Tao only felt that a heart was about to be crushed, she suddenly laughed, and then a pair of eyes were red and desperate to look at the person in front of her, gritted her teeth and said.
"So you knew from the beginning what the outcome of selling me would be, right? You know I'm going to be tortured inhuman until I die, right? Xiao Tao suddenly stood up and kicked the old man in front of him almost madly, and then smashed his fist on him, "You are not selling the rest of my life, it is my life!" ”
Tang Meng saw for the first time that the always optimistic Xiao Tao would be crazy to this point, her heart was distressed, and Xing'er, who was standing behind, saw that Xiao Tao was almost venting, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, Xiao Tao was still waving her fists and feet in the air while being pulled away, until she reached a place where she could no longer reach the old man, she turned around and threw herself into Xing'er's arms and cried loudly.
Tang Meng clenched her fists and wanted to be able to break the old man in front of her into pieces, she gritted her teeth and spoke, "Say!" How did you get in touch with those people! ”
"It's they who let out the news in the village that they want to buy people, they are generous and their whereabouts are also mysterious, every time they come to meet me on the street, it is not the same person, they say that as long as they are young and beautiful girls, I will find someone to draw a picture of Xiao Tao for them to see, but I didn't expect to be really picked."
"You know what they do from then on! even pushed Xiao Tao into the fire pit! ”
The old man shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that the girl they bought never came back," the old man suddenly became excited, "I didn't want to sell the little peach at first!" But the neighbors were sold, and I ...... If I hadn't had to, I wouldn't have sold the peach, you believe me! Speaking of this, he gradually calmed down again, and even looked at Tang Meng with some sincerity, "I thought at that time that these people were so generous, and at first glance, they were rich people, maybe Xiao Tao would be happy to go with them!" ”
"Phew! Deceive oneself as well as others! Tang Meng was furious, stood up and rushed over and kicked the old man to the ground, she looked at the person lying on the ground and said viciously, "I, Tang Meng, have never bullied the market and bullied the weak, but your behavior is simply not worthy of being a person, just for some gambling money, you even know that it is a fire pit and you want to push Xiao Tao in, are you worthy of her mother's entrustment!" ”
Tang Meng wanted to ask something more, but Duan Jingyi gently pulled his arm from behind, and suddenly only Xiao Tao's cry and the old man's snort were left in the room, Tang Meng didn't expect a good thing to turn out like this, and immediately ordered Jia San to tie up the old man and throw him to the firewood room.
Then Tang Meng walked towards Xiao Tao, she took her into her arms and let her cry casually, maybe at this time, only venting is the best antidote, and I don't know how long it took Tang Meng to let Xing'er and Xiao Pei help the weak Xiao Tao to the side room to rest.
Tang Meng took off her crying wet coat and put it on the back of the chair, she was also indescribably uncomfortable in her heart, she looked at Duan Jingyi, who came to comfort her, and said a little weakly, "Why didn't you let me ask just now?" What if the old man knew anything? ”
"He doesn't know," Duan Jingyi said firmly, he could guess that the old man knew about the buyer's situation because. According to the ferocity of the mastermind behind the scenes, he will not be spared, and the reason why the old man has been able to survive until now is entirely because he has smelled the danger and ran away as soon as he got the money, and now Duan Jingyi can also expect that the old man knows only that, he calmly analyzed.
"I think he must have been chased by the buyer after he fled, but after all, he lived on the outskirts of the city all the year round, where there were many mountains and forests, and it was easy for those who were familiar with it to find shelter, but those who were not familiar with the environment were at a loss, so I moved to another place after the old man briefly avoided the limelight, and hid until now, until he met the little peach who should have died at the door of the flower building."
Tang Meng instantly understood, "And at that time, he didn't come out to recognize Xiao Tao in time because he was afraid of being discovered by the pursuer, so he came to the gate of the palace to make such a scene of father and daughter recognizing each other after inquiring about everything, because he knew that the thief would not dare to make a move against the Yi Wangfu, and then slipped away unconsciously after he got the money, so that he would not only get the money, but also mislead the killer to think that he had been staying in the Yi Wangfu." ”
"That's good," Duan Jingyi sighed heavily, thinking that this old man could know some shocking secrets, but he didn't expect it to be a cruelty of human nature.
"Xiao Tao is afraid that she won't be able to recover for a while," Tang Meng also sighed, and then frowned worriedly, she just felt a warm head as soon as she lay on the table, and then Duan Jingyi's big palm had already gently massaged her.
"Don't be sad, Xiao Tao, this child has always been the best character around you, we will definitely get better with her," Duan Jingyi's voice was gentle and low, and Tang Meng's heart was extremely down-to-earth when he heard it, he never mentioned the people around him before, and the people who could stay in his line of sight were all people that Duan Jingyi thought was good, and the rest had already been sent away, and even more excessively had been killed.
So this was the first time Tang Meng had heard Duan Jingyi's affirmation of the little maid beside her, but she still sighed almost uncheckably, and leaned on the table and said sullenly, "Do you know, the more people who usually seem happy and happy, the more they can't withstand such a blow, as if the better the relationship between the husband and wife, the more they can't stand a little flaw," Tang Meng turned his head to look at Duan Jingyi when he said the second half of the sentence.
Directly let the latter's subordinates move, Tang Meng said that he had no intention, but Duan Jingyi listened to the intention, and suddenly remembered the incident on the tomb mountain, he firmly believed that Tang Meng was still unaware of all the actions over there, but the fact is indeed as Tang Meng said, the better the relationship between the two people, the more intolerable the sand, not to mention what Duan Jingyi did......
He suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and hugged Tang Meng tightly in his arms in a little panic, Tang Meng was shocked and didn't understand what was wrong with Duan Jingyi, but it was true that he couldn't break free and let him hold him like this, Tang Meng reached out to stroke Duan Jingyi's hair, "What's wrong?" You just comforted me, it turns out that you are also sad for Xiao Tao. ”
