Chapter 146: The Mourning of the Concubine

After speaking, she slowly put down the bow and arrow in her hand, and then turned away without hesitation.

The moment she lowered her sunbow bow, a cloud of mist suddenly rose in the sky. When he opened his eyes again, Luo Yao was already outside the scope of the third level.

Seeing her come out from afar, the meteorite was stunned for a moment, and then decisively raised his hand and applauded her.

Luo Yao approached, stopped, and looked at it with raised eyebrows.

The Meteorite looked at her, the corners of his mouth curled, "Amazing, it only took three years to come out this time!" How's it going, how does it feel this time? ”

"If God helps." Luo Yao replied in four words.

The Meteorite raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

"It was at the most critical time that my mind suddenly cleared up, and then I successfully cleared the customs." Luo Yao spread his hands and said.

The Fall said it still didn't get it.

Luo Yao smiled and said, "Forget it, it's not important, let's seize the time and go to the next level." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

The Meteorite was a little confused, but he didn't think much of it, and followed her in a few steps, walking side by side with her towards the next pass.

I can't tell the Meteorite that I was able to clear the level because I remembered its prompt. Otherwise, someone will be very proud to show off to her for a long time.

Luo Yao thought so in his heart, but the corners of his mouth gradually curled uncontrollably.

"The fourth level, the theme is redemption." Before Luo Yao could ask, the Falling Spirit took the initiative to introduce her, "So this time, you just need to be kind to yourself." ”

"Be kind," Luo Yao said confidently, "I'm good at this." ”

This time, the venue is no longer a pure illusion, but a corner of the human world.

The Lord of Purgatory reflects a corner of the human world with a fluorescent magic weapon, which is equivalent to creating a parallel world for the interlocutors to use, and at the same time, it will not interfere with the normal order of life in the human world.

The Meteorite had never been to the Human Realm and didn't know much about this level. After coming in, it seemed to be more curious than Luo Yao, and when he saw something fresh, he pulled Luo Yao's sleeve and asked, Luo Yao patiently explained to it what those gadgets were for, and by the way, he bought one for everything to eat and play.

It's a quaint town, and deep in the laneway, sits a large courtyard. At the back of this courtyard, there is an inconspicuous dilapidated courtyard, in which the crying of women and the beating and scolding of many people can be faintly heard.

It stands to reason that Luo Yao and the others should not be able to hear these sounds, but somehow, this sound is like they have grown wings, leaping over thick walls, and falling into Luo Yao's ears clearly and accurately.

The Fallen turned to look at her and asked, "What should I do, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"Of course." Luo Yao swallowed the last hawthorn ball in one bite, puffed out his cheeks and said, "People have put good deeds in front of us, and it will be a bit too much for us to say if we don't help anymore." ”

"What if it's a trap?" The Meteorite said cautiously.

Luo Yao said, "Then we have to go and see." I'd like to see what tricks I can play this time. ”

The two quietly slipped into the courtyard with the mentality of increasing knowledge, and then, their three views were refreshed.

In the small courtyard, a young woman in coarse linen clothes was scarred, apparently beaten severely. At this time, she was kneeling in front of a group of people, crying and kowtowing to a man and a woman led by that group of people.

"Sir, madam, I beg you, I have already given birth to a son to you according to the contract, so let me go. I still have three children at home, and I don't go back, I don't know what will happen to my children. ”

The man and the woman looked very old, richly dressed, and looked like dogs.

The middle-aged man had a solemn face, but the expression on his face was extremely cold, and he only stood there at this time, with a cold face and did not say a word.

The middle-aged woman next to him was dressed very exquisitely, and she had the aura of a large family's main room, but the words she said were unbearable.

"You slut, with such a humble status as you, being able to extend the heirs for the lord is a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life. You're so good you want to run! Could it be that you don't want to be a master, and you still want to go back and continue to live a hard life with your gambling husband? Could it be that the master is not as good as the gambler in your heart? The mean-looking middle-aged woman said disdainfully.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed, and his gaze on the kneeling woman became even colder.

The young woman shook her head vigorously and cried, "Not like that, not like that. At the beginning, it was my wife who saw that I was strong and good to give birth to, and asked my husband to sell me as a concubine. According to the contract, within two years, I will give birth to a son to my master, and you will let me go back. Now that my son has been born, and two years have come, you can't talk and don't count! ”

At this time, the middle-aged man with an impatient face finally spoke, "Okay, what are you crying about, your dead ghost husband owes eighty taels of gambling debts." Eighty taels, enough to buy ten of yours. Do you think two years is enough time to pay it back? Hmph, how can there be such a cheap thing, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay in this courtyard honestly for me! ”

The woman was still sobbing, and her mouth kept muttering, "You can't do this. You said you would let me go back after the two-year period was over. My little daughter, my nannan, she was just full moon when I left, and she was still waiting for me at home, you can't ...... like that."

The middle-aged woman known as 'Madam' said, "I advise you, to die before you have the heart to go back as soon as possible." To tell you the truth, your husband recently made a small fortune by abducting and abducting a brothel, and ransomed a spender from a brothel to go back to be a little wife. Two days ago, I passed by our house, and I came to visit the master, saying that I would send you to our family, and after the two-year period, you don't have to go back. ”

The young woman looked stunned and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Madame gave her a blank look and said contemptuously, "That's stupid." Still don't get it? Your husband has married a young and beautiful Yangzhou skinny horse, and he doesn't want you anymore. Even if you go back, you will only be kicked out with the few money-losing goods you gave birth to. ”

The young woman fell to the ground as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes were blank, and she muttered, "No way, he promised me that he would come and pick me up as soon as the two years came, and then we would go together as a family to a place where no one knew us and start over." ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, she knelt down sharply, her clear eyes slowly filled with tears, and she looked directly at Madame and said, "Madam, are you mistaken?" He said that as long as I help him pay off his gambling debts and prevent him from being cut off by Brother Niu, he will never prostitute or gamble in the future, guard the child and wait for me to come back, and then the family will live a good life. He promised me! ”

Madame giggled as if she had heard something amusement, and the powder on her face was squeezed by wrinkles, making her look more and more ugly and terrifying.

But she didn't know it, she took a few steps towards the young woman, poked her in the head, and sneered, "Pian'er, Pian'er, what are you asking me to say about you, you also believe this kind of nonsense of men, you deserve to be sold." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that there was a man standing next to him, who hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile, "Master, I'm talking about ordinary men, of course you're not like that." You are the most wise, the most powerful, the most ......"

"Alright." Before she could finish boasting, she was interrupted impatiently by the master. The old man glanced at the wrinkles on her face with heavy makeup, turned his head in disgust, and seemed unwilling to look at her more, and said in a gloomy voice, "Hurry up and get these things right, don't make some noise for me in three days." If you can't even manage this little thing, I don't mind taking a leave of absence from you and replacing someone else to manage the back house. ”

"Yes, yes, I see. I will discipline this little slut well, and prevent her from having other thoughts, and let her serve the master well in the future. Madame was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly patted her chest and reassured.

Behind the door, the Meteor was confused, and turned his head to ask Luo Yao, "What are they talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Luo Yao frowned and explained to it, "That woman named Li'er is the concubine of this big family. ”

The Falling Spirit didn't understand and asked, "What is a concubine?" ”

"It's a kind of concubine, but it's not for life. It is usually the woman's father, or the woman's husband, who sells the woman to a large family, and after giving birth to a son and a half daughter, he can return home. The poor family has an urgent need for money, and they don't want to sell their daughter completely, so they will pawn their daughter to a reputable family nearby, get the money for emergencies, and wait for the daughter to come back in a few years, and then find another family for her. But generally women who have been concubines, after returning home, it is difficult for the unmarried to marry into a good family, and the married will also be disliked by the husband's family, and most of them will end up depressed, with no good end. Luo Yao remembered what he had seen and heard in the human world and said.

After hearing this, the meteorite let out an ignorant "oh", and after a while, he asked, "That, what is a concubine?" ”

"......" Luo Yao looked at it speechlessly, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart for bringing a pure child to ruin.

But seeing that the falling spirit looked at her with a thirsty look, he had to continue, "Concubine, it's the little wife." A man can only have one wife, but he can have an infinite number of concubines. ”

"The identity of a concubine is very embarrassing, and her status is higher than that of ordinary slaves, but in front of her wife, she has no right to speak. As long as the husband or mother says a word, they can be sold or even killed. ”

"Oh." "No wonder that woman is so afraid of those two villains. ”

The two turned their heads back and looked at the other side.

The matter was almost settled, the middle-aged man had a dark face, flicked his sleeves, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Li'er, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, rushed up, hugged the old man's legs, and cried and begged, "Master, master, please, for the sake of me being with you for two years, you can open the net and let me go." I will leave my son with you, and I will not go back to the guilty man, and I will live alone with my three children. Please, let me go to them. That gambler doesn't like children in the first place, and now that he has a new person, he won't be kind to my children. For the sake of me having bore you a son, be merciful and give our mother and daughter a way to live. ”
