Chapter 30: The Poor Ghost

Liu Feng looked at the tears of excitement when she pressed a penny, she was in the Goolan yard, there were only two steamed buns a day, and she had to chop firewood, work, brush the night pot during the day, what rough work, tired work was called to do, take a bath at night, and have to pick up guests, met a person with a bad temper, and was beaten half to death, she really couldn't stand it, so she took advantage of the gatekeeper to go to the thatched house and ran out.

I have been out for several days, and every day I can only wait to eat the leftovers poured out by others in the back of the restaurant on the street, and sometimes, I have to rob with other beggars, wild cats and dogs......

Liu Fang took this string of money, burst into tears with excitement, looked at her son's figure walking away, and thought, let's go buy two buns to eat first, I'm about to starve to death!

She hurried to the street, just took the bun given by the boss with her dirty hands, and before she could eat it, she was dragged by a man who grabbed her hair fiercely, and roared while dragging: "-woman, you dare to escape, and I was deducted from my salary by the boss, see if I don't kill you today!" ”

As he spoke, he kicked her one by one, and she curled up in the middle of the road, her body was kicked hard by the man, and she was reluctant to let go of the bun in her hand.

A group of people gradually surrounded the two, and no one came forward to save her.

Chen Asan looked at the crowd around the street from a distance and didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly walked over, thinking about seeing something new, but he didn't expect to see his mother's face being trampled underfoot. He just wanted to rush in and rescue his mother with the man, but he heard the man say: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this woman is an old chicken in our hook pen, and the previous one actually escaped by himself without permission, and I was deducted from my salary by the boss." Today, I just beat people to death, and everyone just watched the excitement, and it was a pastime. Because it's useless for you to go to the official, her deed of sale is in the hands of our boss, life is our boss's person, death, is our boss's ghost! ”

"I just don't have any money and wander the streets...... Chen Asan thought about her mother's answer just now, and now her heart is still beating for a while, she was actually sold to Goolan Courtyard, and she was ...... by so many men He was breathing unsteadily, and he almost fell to the ground. he

He remembered the two months she had just left, and the eyes of everyone looking at them were all so disdainful, disdainful, disgusted, and not easy Now, these eyes have passed and disappeared, but she appeared in front of him like this.

Chen Asan was flustered, and his mind was full of the appearance of others discovering that his mother had been sold to Goolan Courtyard, and all kinds of disdainful and disdainful eyes suddenly made him breathless.

The man said and kicked Liu Feng's stomach fiercely, she wailed out in pain, opened a pair of eyes, looked at the people around her in pain, suddenly found a familiar face, and was about to shout, but saw Chen Asan's eyes widen suddenly, hurriedly turned around, and ran away......

Son...... Why Run......

Liu Feng looked at the distant back, closed his eyes in despair, let the man kick and beat, and when he was about to die, he was dragged back to the Goolan courtyard and chained to the pigsty.

The smell of pig was all around, and occasionally a thick pig's nose came to arch her, but she was as if she was dead, and she was not angry at all.

Chen Asan rushed back to the shop, then got into the warehouse, and for a long time, he squatted in the corner with his eyes covered and cried, and the picture of Liu Feng being trampled under his feet lingered in his mind no matter what.

He hated his cowardice and incompetence, but he was more afraid of others looking at him with such contempt and disdain, he couldn't stand it, he couldn't stand it......

On this day, he couldn't give up all day, looking at the words on the account book, his eyes were flowering, he simply took a day off with the boss, turned around and went to the Goolan courtyard to find a good one, and wanted to let the good one relieve him of the boredom and powerlessness in his heart.

Who knows, as soon as I entered, I heard the ambiguous voices of men and women coming out of Hong'er's door.

He suddenly froze, and remembered what she said when they were together: Brother Chen, I like you, you have to save the silver to redeem yourself for me, I will marry you as a concubine, give birth to children for you, and we will live a sweet life.

She also said: You haven't come to see me for three days, you haven't seen me for a day, I've been waiting for you for a few autumns, and my heart is going to break!

She also said: You are enough in this life, I will definitely not pick up other guests, my body, only you can touch it in the future!

In the past, all kinds of sweet words, mountain alliances and sea vows, when Chen Asan pushed open the door and saw the pair of men and women entangled on the bed, they all came to naught!

He looked at himself thinking about it in his heart, riding naked on other men, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed in and asked in a fierce voice: "Hong'er, didn't you say that you won't accept other guests anymore?" So what are you doing at this time, and why are you betraying me? ”

Hong'er was frightened when she saw him come back suddenly, but immediately thought that this person under her was a richer master, so she wrapped a list, covered her body, looked at him with a sarcastic expression, and said: "Chen Gongzi, it's just a joke on the spot, can you take it seriously?" ”

In a word, the words of the scene?

Chen Asan's fingers trembled in anger, and he pointed at Hong'er and asked, "Could it be that your sweet words in the past were all fake?" ”

Hong'er was about to say something, but the somewhat fat man under her got up, got down, stood in front of Chen Asan, and said with a disdainful face: "Hong'er has said it, I'm playing with you, why don't you hurry up, it's fun to disturb the uncle, if you don't get out, I'll kill you!" ”

Chen Asan looked at the man, his fist clenched tightly on the side of his leg, and for a long time, he didn't have the courage to wave it at the man's face.

Hong'er was also afraid that the fight would get too much, so she pulled the fat man and persuaded him: "Young Master Yang, he is just a weak scholar, and he used to say that he wanted to redeem me, but the money he saved for a few months is still not enough." You, noble status, don't talk to him about poor ghosts, so as not to lose your identity, don't you say! ”

Hong'er coaxed the man to be happy with a few words, and the two returned to the bed, Hong'er saw Chen Asan standing there with a blue face, and in her heart, she scolded the fool and didn't leave, did she really want to be beaten out?

So he opened his mouth and said to Chen Asan: "Chen Gongzi, you are a scholar, if you provoke Yang Gongzi for a while and beat you out, it won't look good!" ”

Chen Asan's chest was full of blood and blood, and he asked with the last glimmer of hope: "I only ask you one last sentence, if I take the money, are you willing to marry me as a concubine?" ”

Hong'er was stunned when she heard this, and after a while, she laughed, looked at him and said, "Gongzi Chen, although my Hong'er is not a top brand, but I have at least twenty taels of silver for redemption, you ...... A scholar, can you take it? ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately laughed, hugged Hong'er's waist, pinched the soft flesh in front of her, and said, "It's just a poor ghost, and I want to redeem Hong'er and you go home, haha, don't say twenty taels, I'm afraid he can't even take out the immeasurable amount of silver in his pocket now!" ”

Hong'er sneered, lay in front of the fat man, and said with a smile: "Oh, knowing that Yang Gongzi is rich, Hong'er also hopes that Gongzi can redeem me home, even if it is to be a maid who sprinkles and sweeps, and waits for Gongzi to eat and dress, Hong'er can't ask for it......"

As the two spoke, they began to make out as if no one was around, and Chen Asan was blackened by the two dogs' eyes and almost fainted here.

The fat man teased Hong'er for a while, and when he saw that Chen Asan still didn't leave, he suddenly got angry, pushed Hong'er away, and stepped forward to punch him hard, Chen Asan couldn't dodge it and was beaten to the ground.

Before he could stand up, he heard the fat man shouting: "Come on, throw this kid out of me, dare to disturb the good things of the uncle, drag me out and fight!" ”

In a blink of an eye, Chen Asan was dragged out and thrown at the gate, kicked and beaten by three strong men, with bruises all over his body and face, and after a while, they stopped.

Chen Asan just wanted to drag his body up, but a piece of white silver in front of him fell and rolled down to his hand.

A high-spirited voice said coldly above his head: "Our son said, this is the money for you to buy medicine, lest you have no money to treat your illness and die." Phew, poor ghost, hurry up and get out of the money, you don't have money and want to rob people, and you don't pee like you......"

The men who beat people turned around and left, and the people around them surrounded Chen Asan and muttered in a low voice, what a poor ghost...... Impotent...... I don't have the money to come to prostitution......

Chen Asan buried his head low on the ground, and his two hands clasped the ground tightly, because he used too much force, his nails were broken.

Impotent...... Yes, if it weren't for his incompetence, how could he watch his own mother being humiliated in front of him, and he wouldn't dare to save it?

If it weren't for his incompetence, how could he watch that fat man go to bed with Hong'er~ and he didn't dare to wave his fist over, but was beaten up and thrown out like a dead dog?

Pauper...... Hehe, that's right, his monthly salary is only a few dollars, but he looked at the white silver in his hand, even though he hated it in his heart, he didn't have the courage to throw it away, to prove that he picked up his arrogance as a scholar.

Two taels of silver...... That's enough for their family to live for a few months......

Chen Asan's eyes were scarlet, and finally he picked up the silver, clutched it in his hand, didn't dare to raise his head, and stumbled out of the crowd, not wanting to hear all kinds of criticism that made people embarrassed.

He ran frantically for an unknown distance, and there was no one, so he squatted on the ground, looked at the silver in his hand, and finally hid his face and cried.

The dearest mother, he didn't dare to save it.

The woman she loves the most, but betrays herself.

He only felt that the sky was about to fall, and he cried here for a long time, and stumbled into a tavern, and bought two jugs of wine with the silver, and carried one in one hand, and staggered back home while drinking.

When he arrived at the door of the house drunk, it was already dark, and Lan Fang had fallen asleep.

Outside the door, Chen Asan banged on the door desperately, shouting loudly: "Lan Fang, open the door...... Open the door. ”
