Text Chapter 24: Unintentional Rescue
What's more, although he and Su Muwan only had a one-sided relationship, and they only communicated for less than half an hour, he had a lot of good feelings for her in his heart, and his intuition was also clearly telling him that Su Muwan was not an enemy, and he would not do anything unfavorable to him.
Su Muwan, who had already left, didn't notice the big thing behind her at all, and she didn't know that what she wanted to do with all her might was solved very simply.
Because Su Muwan had solved a major matter in her heart, her walking steps were much brisker than usual, but when she passed by the market, she suddenly heard a faint noise in front of her and a woman's tragic and desperate scream.
It was this scream that made Su Muwan pause suddenly.
She's tried that feeling, and when you're in a state of utter despair, knowing that there's no one to help you, you let out this terrible scream......
So Su Muwan hurriedly turned the direction of her footsteps and ran briskly towards the source of the sound.
Soon, Su Muwan saw a large group of people watching the excitement in front of her forming a semicircle, and the woman who had the accident was obviously among them.
"Let it go, let it go."
Su Muwan whispered apologetic words while squeezing into the crowd hard.
After squeezing in, I saw an old man who had been seriously injured, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl crying and holding the old man, and five or six men in thug costumes constantly pulling the little girl.
"It's a matter of course to pay back debts! If you don't have any money, then you can only use this little girl to pay off your debts! Haha, sell it to the Qinglou, sing a little song, and accompany a few uncles, won't you be rich? ”
Behind the thugs stood a short and fat man, obviously dressed in expensive silk, but living as funny as a big opera, he looked at the despair of the little girl with a completely playful expression, and said loudly and lightly.
After finishing speaking, the short and fat man suddenly rubbed his hands obscenely and yelled at the thugs: "Don't hurry up and take people away for me!" This fine skin and tender meat, uncle, I have to enjoy it myself! ”
Su Muwan in the crowd had roughly understood the ins and outs of this matter, it turned out that the little girl's family borrowed the bullie's money in order to treat her mother's illness, and now she can't pay it back, the bully is going to sell the little girl to the Qinglou to pay off the debt.
Originally, Su Muwan wanted to listen a little longer to see if she could confirm more news, but when she heard the bully led by her say such foul language, she couldn't help but jump out.
"Stop!"
Su Muwan's sudden interruption startled the thugs who were pulling the little girl, but when they turned around and saw that it was a more beautiful little lady, they all subconsciously shrugged their shoulders and let out a lewd laugh.
"Yo, little lady, is this lonely? Do you want to play with your brother too? The bully at the head said with all his might, but as soon as he looked at Su Muwan's clothes, he knew that she was either rich or expensive, and she was the most unaffordable identity she had, so she just took advantage of a few words on her lips.
"Presumptuous! It's just a matter of repaying debts, do you want to force good people to become prostitutes now? Su Muwan resisted the urge to beat people, there were many of them, and once she started, she would only suffer the loss.
"How much does she owe you?"
Su Muwan asked with anger in her temper.
The bulli, who was the leader, let out a burst of laughter, and casually pinched nonsense: "One hundred taels!" If you don't have any money, the little lady will go home quickly, and don't be a hero here. ”
"You talk nonsense! When my mother was sick, my father obviously only borrowed ten taels of silver from you! It's only been half a month now! How did it become a hundred taels! You are clearly bullying others! ”
At this time, the little girl who had been panicking was reaching out and angrily pointing at the bully and dissatisfiedly debunking his lies.
How do you know that the bully is not for money, he has already paid attention to it, selling people to Qinglou is a sure thing to make money and not lose money, and before selling, isn't it just right for a few brothers to have a good time?
Su Muwan raised her voice and repeated: "You mean, as long as you pay back a hundred taels, you won't be entangled anymore?" ”
"It's nature!" The bully also replied loudly, but the expression on his face was sure that Su Muwan couldn't take out much money.
Su Muwan heard the firm answer, chuckled, and saluted the crowd around before asking, "Did you hear it too?" The little woman hereby asks you to make a proof to prove that they have promised in person, and since they have received the money, if they come to make trouble again, and then come to find the trouble of this father and daughter, it will be the goods of the children and grandchildren. ”
"You!" The bully led by him felt a chill in his lower body, and he didn't expect Su Muwan to open such a heavy oath with a girl's family.
"What? Do you want to pay off? Su Muwan looked straight over without fear, and her firm eyes saw that the bully's subconscious heart was empty.
At this time, the onlookers also spoke out one after another, saying that they could testify, and they all heard it.
Seeing this, Su Muwan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels: "What about their IOU?" Bring? ”
The bully saw that the onlookers were all silent, and he had something to say first, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, he slowly handed the IOU to Su Muwan, spat a mouthful, and unwillingly glanced at the old man and the little girl on the ground.
"You're in luck! Don't fall into the hands of my Hu Laosan next time! ”
Since the bully left, the show should also end, and the onlookers slowly left, and it was only then that Su Muwan slowly walked in front of the little girl and the old man, and took out another silver ticket of one hundred taels.
She has always lived under the calculations of Shen Yun and Su Xinai, and even Su Qingyun regards herself as a stepping stone to consolidate his own power, so Su Muwan has always believed that if Su Fu also reaches the end of the road one day, she must be the first to be pushed out to resist.
But what about this ordinary father and daughter? The daughter is willing to sell herself to pay off the debt, but the father would rather be beaten to death than let his daughter be taken away, the love is deep and righteous, why doesn't she be moved?
Since this is a family affection that she has not enjoyed and is not qualified to have, how can she stand by and watch when she sees others doing their best to defend it?
"Take your dad to the infirmary, he's badly injured."
Su Muwan squatted in front of her father and daughter and said softly, and handed over the silver ticket in her hand.
The little girl bit her lip and refused to accept Su Muwan's silver ticket, but pounced, knelt in front of Su Muwan, and kowtowed three times in a row, and when she raised her head, even her forehead had a big red mark.
"What are you doing!"
Su Muwan was taken aback by the little girl's movements, she didn't react to anything, this little girl had already finished kowtowing, she just couldn't stop it.
"Miss saves her life, Huan'er is grateful! It's just that Miss has already helped me and Daddy a lot, how can we be favored by you again! ”
Huan'er's words were sonorous, and after speaking, she looked at Su Muwan firmly.
Su Muwan looked at Huan'er in surprise, her eyes did not shrink and dodge, and her words were also organized, obviously she had learned words and read books, how could she fall to such a point?
Su Muwan frowned unconsciously, but Huan'er took the initiative to answer without waiting for her to ask.
Only then did Su Muwan know that this old man was a showman, originally a virtuous wife and a filial daughter, and a happy family, but at the beginning of the year, Huan'er's mother was seriously ill, although Huan'er and her father did not give up, but after spending all their savings, Huan'er's mother still died.
Just when Su Muwan didn't know what to say, the old man who was dying on the ground called her: "Miss, I know that you are a kind and good person, before you die, I implore you to promise me one thing." ”
"Daddy! What nonsense are you talking about! You'll be fine! Huan'er will take you to the hospital! Huan'er hurriedly interrupted the old man's words.
The old man shook his head slowly, and even his eyes began to drift, his face suddenly turned red, and he actually spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, even Su Muwan was taken aback, she hurriedly reached out and helped the old man up with Huan'er, and said firmly: "Huan'er, quickly, take your father to the nearest medical center." ”
"No, I'm not going, if this young lady can't promise me, I won't feel at ease even if I die." The old man was half-lying on the ground, very firm.
Su Muwan was helpless, so she said: "Say it, old man, as long as I can do it, I will not postpone it." ”
"Miss, you saved me and Huan'er, I can't repay this old bone, so let Huan'er be a maid for Miss!"
"Daddy?" When the old man finished speaking, Huan'er was shocked, she didn't expect her father to say this.
And Su Muwan hurriedly refused, "The old man can't help this." ”
The old man continued: "Huan'er, my father taught you since you were a child that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, have you forgotten? ”
"Huan'er, I don't dare to forget, it's just that Huan'er is worried about you, daddy." Huan'er's heart is not unwilling to repay Su Muwan's kindness, but she is worried that her father will also leave the world like her mother, leaving her alone in this world from then on.
"Old man, you really don't need it, just let your daughter take good care of you, right?" Su Muwan was really moved by their father and daughter who licked the calf deeply, such a father-daughter affection, I am afraid that it is difficult for her to get it in her life, I really envy this father and daughter.
If her father could do this to her, she would be willing to do this to her, even if she was poor.
"Miss, listen to me." Who knew that the old man still insisted, he said: "Miss, let Huan'er follow you, firstly, to repay the kindness, and secondly, Miss also saw it, although I was lucky to hold this old life temporarily, I don't know when I will die." Those bullies are not simple characters, for the sake of Miss's face today, they will spare us for the time being, but after Miss leaves, maybe when, Huan'er will still be poisoned. ”
After a pause, the old man continued to speak in a pleading tone: "So, I beg Miss to have mercy on me, an old man who has fallen into half of the loess, and take Huan'er away!" Huan'er, this girl is smart and alert, and she is also studious, so she will definitely take good care of Miss. ”
"Old Man's ......"
