Sure enough, when he saw the strangely dressed woman come forward, the middle-aged man's face changed immediately, and he even forgot to pick the straw mark on the little girl's head, so he wanted to lead her away.

But the woman stopped him. Her movements weren't necessarily overbearing, but they were enough to keep the middle-aged man in place.

Yu Mochen said in his heart, I don't know how many such practitioners there are in the Xuannu Sect.

Before the woman could speak, the middle-aged man was already frightened, and cried out with a sad face, "The holy woman spares her life, the holy woman spares her life." ”

"You don't have to be so nervous." The voice of the woman, known as the "Holy Maiden", sounded strange, clear and profound. I only heard her say slowly, "Our Xuannu Sect members are not unreasonable and treacherous. If you don't do something wrong, Xuannu Niangniang will not punish you for no reason. She squatted down, gently held the little girl's hand, and continued to say to the middle-aged man, "I'm here just to ask for the Xuannu Niangniang, why do you want to put a straw mark on this little girl and sell it on the street?"

"It's not me, it's not me," the middle-aged man was still panicked, and suddenly pushed the little girl forward, and said hurriedly, "Zhaodi, you say it yourself, don't let the holy girl misunderstand." ”

The little girl's haggard face didn't lift up, but said indifferently, "It's me who wants to sell myself." It's none of Daddy's business......" Her voice was weak, and as she spoke, she weakened, as if she couldn't even convince herself.

Yu Moji felt a pain in his heart.

The holy woman had probably seen a lot of such scenes, and her face was very calm, and she only patted the little girl to comfort her, and said, "Tell me, why do you want to sell yourself?" ”

"For ......," the little girl's head pressed lower, "so that my brother would have meat to eat." ”

As soon as she said this, the saint's long eyebrows, which flew diagonally into her temples, slowly wrinkled when she saw it. The middle-aged man saw that something was wrong, and he was so anxious that he was about to speak immediately, but he was glared back by the holy woman.

The little girl realized that she might have said something inappropriate, so she hurriedly made up for it, "Daddy said that my brother is growing up." ”

Although the saint's face was already a little gloomy, she just glanced at the middle-aged man coldly. The look was quite terrifying, and the middle-aged man's face was as earth-colored, and he even knelt down and begged for mercy.

The saint said, "Little sister, how much money are you going to sell yourself?" ”

The little girl glanced back at her father and whispered, "Two strings of money." She said, and said in an adult's tone, "If my sister wants to buy me, the price is negotiable." ”

When Yu Moji heard this number, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She now has the position of a small capital, and although the salary is not high, two strings of money are naturally nothing to her. But she remembered clearly that in the past, when she was in the martial arts hall, when she first helped Wei Linyuan do his homework, the remuneration she received was this price. She was too poor to pay the rent for the anthill-like house, and Wei Linyuan came to her, and the rent was finally settled.

Every man has his own suffering. What she sold back then was just a labor force, but this little girl had to sell herself.

Yu Moji estimated that the holy woman was going to help. But the saint didn't seem to be a wealthy person, and she couldn't even get these two strings of money for a while. The saint thought for a while, pulled out the piccolo made of unknown material on her waist, and said, "This shepherd flute is worth about a few hundred dollars, so I will bet it on you first." After that, the accounts will be paid off when I show the Xuanniang Niangniang. She said the last few words with a bit of gritted teeth, glared at the middle-aged man, and took the little girl's hand and said, "Little sister, you can go with me." ”

The middle-aged man refused to accept the piccolo, and said with a sad face, "How dare the villain accept the things of the saint." We...... We just need cash. ”

Yu Mozhen frowned, and heard someone sigh in his ear, "Cough, you still want to cash when you die." ”

Yu Mojin turned his head to look, and it turned out that he was the boss who was in charge of the tea shed alone, and he was passing by with a plate of melon seeds.

She was about to ask, but Yuan Pingzhi had already put on a modest and sincere attitude that was harmless to people and animals, and said to the boss, "The tea you have here is really refreshing, please ask your old man to fill this water bag for me, and we will keep it for the road to drink-by the way, what did the boss mean by what he said just now?" ”

While collecting the money, the boss said, "Listen to the accent, you are outsiders." ”

"Yes, something happened to our family...... Yuan Zhizhi glanced at Yu Moji embarrassedly, "I had to leave my hometown, and I had to go all the way, and when I got here, I finally settled down." Now he lives in Liquan Village. ”

Although he was dressed as an honest man casually at the moment, Yu Moji could hear that Yuan relied on his intention to spread the news, so as to use the gossip between the villagers to confirm the identities of the two. She couldn't help but admire in her heart, Yuan Yizhi's words were really without a trace, if she didn't think about it, I am afraid she would not be able to hear this meaning.

Yuan Pingzhi's words were very vague, but the kind boss understood. He glanced at Yuan Yizhi playfully, and then glanced at the more and more cramped Yu Moji, and looked like he knew it in his heart, and said, "Cough, this kind of thing is also very common." ”

He said, and said, "Look at your appearance, you should have congratulated Xuannu Niangniang Fangchen?" ”

Yuan Zhizhi did not answer immediately, but looked at Yu Moji. Yu Moji blessed his soul, and he made the best use of the shame on his face, and muttered, "That's right." I...... I've heard people say that Xuannu Niangniang protects the women of the world, so that's why she ...... before pulling him up...... Come here. She and Yuan didn't say a word of lie, but just induced the boss to think in the direction they wanted.

"I see, I see." The boss really fell into the trap, and said to Yuan Ping, "But you must be kind to your lady, otherwise the Xuannu Niangniang will be retribution, and she will not be able to escape no matter what." ”

Yu Moji said in his heart, the supernatural things described in the file of the Criminal Department are indeed true.

"Oh?" Yuan Ping looked interested and asked, "This Xuannu Niangniang is so effective?" ”

"Not really!" The boss said, "If a woman goes to the Xuannu Temple and complains to the Xuannu Niangniang, the father, brother and husband of the family will suffer." ”

Yuan Pingzhi thought about it for a while, and said, "In that case, why don't you stop the women in the family and don't allow them to go to complain?" ”

Yu Moji glanced at Yuan Jian helplessly. Yuan Zhizhi noticed her eyes and immediately smiled, "I'm just out of curiosity. ”

I saw that the boss hurriedly waved his hand, "You have to be careful when you speak." Such words must not be heard by the saint. The saints here are the eyes and ears of the Xuannu. If you anger the Xuannu Niangniang, you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

He glanced at the middle-aged man and the saint who were still pulling, and explained in a low voice, "Earlier, everyone only knew that Xuannu Niangniang was capable of heaven and blessed everyone, but they didn't know that she even cared about this kind of thing. It is true that someone stopped the mother-in-law at home from complaining, but within a few days, the Xuannu Niangniang knew that there were all kinds of ways to die, and each one was worse than the other. Even Li Zheng, who was in the town, was not spared. After that, the men here were all forced to rake their ears one by one, and they whispered to the mother-in-law at home every day, and they were very wretched. But in the end, it is important to save your life first. ”

Yuan Pingzhi frowned and said, "Li Zheng lost his life, and the government doesn't care?" ”

The boss just shook his head vigorously and said, "After all, it was a disaster caused by the Xuannu Niangniang." Even though Li Zheng died strangely, the government couldn't find out who did it. Moreover, the Xuannu Niangniang is very capable and proficient in formations, and the Xuannu Temple is guarded by the Holy Maiden, and women can enter, but men can't; In the past, the government also planned to enter the search and arrest, and sent a number of officials to the past, but they were all stopped outside by the formation, and they couldn't enter at all. ”

He glanced in the direction of the saint a few times, and suddenly stopped.

Yu Mochen followed the boss's gaze, and saw that the saint had been talking with the middle-aged man patiently for a long time, but the negotiation had never been completed, and now she was finally a little annoyed. She withdrew the piccolo, flicked her long sleeves, took the little girl behind her back, and then stretched out her hands, and ten slender fingers flew back and forth, making several handprints that seemed to be quite mysterious. The middle-aged man's face was as pale as earth, and under this strange spell, he slowly covered his heart and fell.

This scene was so terrifying that passers-by who had just looked back a few times also stopped. I only heard the holy woman say loudly, "Xuannu Niangniang has the virtue of a good life, and she didn't ask me to accept this person's life." It's just that this person has been pestering repeatedly, so I have to let him faint for a few hours, don't let him disturb Xuannu Niangniang. She picked up the frightened little girl, and said, "I will first take this little sister back to the Xuannu Temple to take care of it, and when the Xuannu Niangniang finds out whose idea it is, she will lower the punishment and clean up the gangster who sold her daughter to raise a boy." ”

When the saint had said this, she took the little girl and departed. Her way of walking also seemed to be different from that of ordinary people, and her body was extremely agile, and she soon disappeared.

Everyone else said that the Xuan Maiden Niangniang appeared, but Yu Moji always thought that the so-called immortals were ethereal, just made up to bluff people, and for spells and the like, they thought that they were no different from deception. The more she looked at it, the more strange she felt, and she turned her head to Yuan Zhizhi, "Let's just come to see the excitement tonight, and we can't count; Another day, I still want to go to the Xuannu Temple and have a good visit to the Xuannu Niangniang. ”

The boss's face changed slightly, but Yuan Yizhi made a slightly calmer gesture and said with a smile, "I don't seem to have anything to be sorry for you on weekdays." ”

Yu Mojin immediately blushed and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that I've been away from home for a long time, and I really miss my mother. Since Xuannu Niangniang has such magical powers, and she takes it as her responsibility to protect the women of the world, I want to ask her to bless my mother more. I can't go back to my mother to fulfill my filial piety, I just hope that her old age will be safe. ”

After all, she felt something, and her words were very sincere, and even the boss was a little moved.

When Yuan Yizhi heard this, he also agreed. The two asked the boss for directions, and they learned that the nearest Xuannu Temple was in a village and town bordering Chenglin County.
