Chapter 8: The Sin Deal

It's the end of the day, and the lantern riddle guessing activity is almost over, and the middle-aged man is now counting the people with the largest number of answers, "Congratulations to He Chun, guess the eight riddles correctly." Please He Chun come here to receive a small gift - red beans, hawthorn, mutton and other twelve flavors of Lantern Festival. ”

"Who? Me? I asked Sui'er to confirm again.

"That's right, it's you, Brother He Chun is so powerful!"

I happily stepped forward to receive the award, and the twelve flavors of the Lantern Festival were served in a large bowl, "Childe can sit here and taste it slowly." The middle-aged man gestured to the table next to him.

"Sui'er, come, let's eat Lantern Festival together." I beckoned Sui'er to come over and eat together.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly moved in the other direction, and there were bursts of cheers and jumps.

"What's going on over there?" I asked the middle-aged man. At this time, the people were almost gone, and only a few children chased and played around the lamp tree, and the laughter was particularly crisp.

"There should be iron flowers going on over there." The middle-aged man said.

"Iron flowers? What kind of activity is this? Sui'er's curiosity came up again.

The middle-aged man smiled: "The two of you can go to see it after eating the Lantern Festival, it is also very exciting and lively." ”

"Let's go, Brother He Chun, let's go and have a look now, we won't be able to squeeze in when there are too many people." Sui'er heard that it was very lively, so she didn't care about eating Lantern Festival, and pulled me towards that side vigorously.

There are still a lot of people, but the venue here is large, so it's not very crowded. On the site, a four-corner greenhouse with a height of more than one foot was erected, also known as "flower shed". The roof of the shed was covered with a layer of fresh, water-soaked willow branches, and the branches were tied with various firecrackers.

The pole that is more than one zhang high is erected in the middle of the top, which is called "old pole", and the top of the old pole is also tied with firecrackers, which is called "set color". Next to the trellis there are several furnaces used to melt the iron and blow the air with large air boxes.

When the iron flower is played, the nearby dragon lantern festival also comes to help the fun, and the ancient music sings in unison. I saw several trays of iron furnaces blazing into the sky, and the iron-striking flower artists were shirtless, and some of them scooped up the molten iron with soaked willow spoons, and threw them into the air, or threw them at the old rods. In some cases, two people work together, one person lifts a spoon full of molten iron, and the other lifts a wooden stick to hit the long rod of the spoon.

The artists who hit the iron flowers danced with more than 1,000 degrees of high temperature iron juice and shuttled freely, and the iron flowers after being beaten flew one after another, bursting out several feet high and rushing into the air, and then blooming brilliantly, the scene was spectacular. Some viewers shuttle under the iron splash flower shed, which is called "dragon through the flower".

"It's spectacular!" Sui'er sighed, "I want to go in and play too." ”

"Then let's go in and have fun." I pulled the spike to shuttle through the world of "flowers", and watched the flying iron flowers in it, which was another scenery.

Xu is Nanling wine at noon drank too much, and I also drank a lot of soup when I just ate the Lantern Festival, I suddenly wanted to relieve myself.

"Sui'er, I'm going to go to Xiaojie, you just walk around the neighborhood alone, don't go far, lest I can't find you." After I finished talking to Sui'er, I hurried to find the well.

After I came out of the latrine, I ran all the way to the flower shed, and when I glanced around and didn't see the spike, I panicked. I ran around the flower shed a few times and didn't see Sui'er's figure, I searched for it a few times in the vicinity, I shouted "Sui'er" loudly, but there were too many people, the voice was noisy, and my shouting was instantly muffled.

I don't know where Sui'er is now, I'm not familiar with life, and I don't know how Sui'er is? I didn't have a clue now, I was so anxious that I was spinning in place, I asked the people around me, "Have you seen a good-looking woman, almost as tall as my chin, and a bamboo flute pinned to her hair......"

Without exception, they all replied, "I didn't see it," and just as I was about to break down, a handsome man walked up from the crowd, "I saw a girl, similar to what you described, she was taken away by someone else." ”

"Taken away? In which direction did they go? "I see a glimmer of hope that they won't do anything to Sui'er.

"Gone there." The man pointed in one direction......

I walked in the direction the man was pointing, and although I wasn't sure if the woman he was talking about was Sui'er, I had to look for it now.

Drifting further and further away from the city, I walked slower to make sure I didn't miss any corners, and I was panicked inside, "Sui'er! Spike! I shouted all the way.

I searched all the way to the end, but to no avail. The rooster has already crowed, and it will be ugly, and it will soon dawn.

I decided to turn back, and just happened to bump into the man who was showing me the way, he was discussing something with the two big men, he didn't notice me, I quickly went around behind them and hid.

"How many little beauties did you get today?" The man asked with a wicked smile.

"Three."

"There are many people, and it is not easy to move."

"How much did Zhang's mother give?"

"This old witch is very stingy, a woman gave us ten friends, only the last woman is quite a bit beautiful, I wanted to sell a few more money, but I was taken away halfway, thanks to our brothers running fast, otherwise we would have been caught in the government."

"Then we got a total of twenty friends, according to the four or six points that I said before, I deserve eight friends, right?" The man said.

"Four or six points is true, but your kid takes eight friends alone, and our brothers take twelve friends, isn't it appropriate?" A big man said viciously, "And you kid is just seducing these little girls, and the rest is our brothers' hard work, why do you take so much?" ”

"That's it! It's good to divide three or four friends with you. Another big man chimed in and threw the man three pennies.

"Are you bullying too much? Be careful that I denounce this black heart to the government! The man picked up the coin, "Take a step back, you give me three more friends, and this matter will be settled." ”

"Give it to Sanpeng again? Dream on! After the two big men finished speaking, they prepared to leave.

The man immediately stepped forward to stop them, "If I don't give it to you, don't think about leaving!" ”

"Yo he! It's long-lasting, isn't it? One of the big men gave the man a kick directly, and the man's whole body flew out and fell to the ground, as if his whole body was falling apart, with a painful face.

"If you don't roll it yet, I won't even give you these three penbeis." The other big man made a look like he was going to beat him.

The man hurriedly crawled away, and I quietly followed.

Seeing that I was already far away from the two big men, I leaned in: "Where did you get the three girls today?" ”

"Yikes!" The man was frightened, "Who are you?" ”

"Don't you remember me? Didn't you tell me that Sui'er was taken in this direction? I searched all the way but couldn't find it. ”

The man's face was flustered, "That's because you haven't looked carefully, you can go back and look for it." ”

"Don't lie to me! Does Sui'er's disappearance have anything to do with you? Where did you get her? I glared at him angrily.

The man pushed me away, "What are you talking about?" Don't bother me, I'm in a hurry to get back. ”

Enraged, I lifted the man above my head and threw him down, "You don't say I'll kill you now." ”

The man sat on the ground and gritted his teeth in pain, "Fight, you won't have a good life if you kill me!" He sneered suddenly, "I'm afraid you don't have the guts!" Hahaha. ”

Looking at this scoundrel, I suddenly lost my mind. After thinking about it, I took out a seashell from my arms and stretched it out in front of his eyes, "As long as you say it, this high-quality seashell will be yours." ”

The man's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to take it, but I immediately took it away, "You say it first!" ”

"Good! The Sui'er you said was originally sold to Chunxiangyuan by those two big men, but they just said that they were robbed halfway, and they don't know if it's true or not, maybe they said this just to give me less money......"

"Is Harukain a brothel?" I interrupted him.

"Yes!"

I asked the man again about the location of the Chunhyang-in, and after throwing the seashell at him, I hurried over.

"Young man!" I heard someone call me, and when I looked closely, it was the mother-in-law who sold jewelry.

"Young man, are you looking for that girl?"

"That's right! Grandma, how do you know? "I got excited.

"I'll take you." My mother-in-law led me into a reverse journey - "Kelai Yue".

"That girl was initially kidnapped by two big men, and was rescued by Xu Gongzi on the way. He was ordering his men to send the girl back, but she must have been drugged and fell asleep. I saw that this girl was familiar, and when I looked closer, I guessed that I was separated from you, so I told Xu Gongzi that I knew her, and Xu Gongzi may have seen my kindness, so he handed over the girl to me with peace of mind. The mother-in-law pushed open the door of the shop, "Thanks to this girl's light body, I still have to move my back, so I put her in this hostel." ”

The young man in the shop walked over: "May I ask if the two guest officers are here to live?" ”

"What kind of room do you live in?" Grandma waved her hand, "Don't you remember me, young man?" Didn't I put a little girl with you before? ”

"Little girl? What little girl? The young man looked at Grandma with a strange gaze, "Don't talk nonsense, you old man!" ”

"Am I talking nonsense? Don't fool me, young man, you don't remember how long it's been since then? Grandma glared at him.

"Old man, do you have any proof?" The young man looked disdainful, "Don't rely on the old and sell the old!" ”

"Grandma, are you sure it's this store?" I asked.

"I'm sure!" Grandma said firmly, "I'm not old and confused, and he was the one who received me at the time, why are you pretending to be confused for me now?" ”

"If you have nothing else to do, please go out, don't disturb our business, and don't wake up the customers in our shop."

"You can't see it, it's so insidious."

"What do you old woman say?"

"How do you talk to the old man? What are you doing when you don't know what to do in your own heart? I glared at the boy.

"What's the noise? What are you arguing about? The shopkeeper came over.
