Chapter Ninety-Four: Desolation (1)

The more she spoke, the more sad she became, but she didn't want Ming Jingxuan to be sad when she saw her crying, so she could only bite the corner of her lip tightly so that the tears would no longer flow out. The corners of her slightly pale lips had been bitten by her into a scarlet bloodstain.

Ming Jingxuan couldn't know her sadness, but he couldn't say much, but he was afraid that the more he said, the more heartbroken he would increase each other.

He finally took a deep breath, suppressed his sorrow in the bottom of his heart, and said to everyone, "Everyone, don't delay here any longer, get out of this dark place quickly. If Li Jinshan finds out, you will all be implicated."

"Okay, then Sixth Senior Brother, we'll leave first, you wait for us here." Tang Yu nodded.

Song Qinglian reluctantly let go of Ming Jingxuan's hand, her tears were full of soreness and reluctance, and her voice was still a little choked: "Brother Xuan, wait for us."

"Hmm." Ming Jingxuan also nodded, with the same reluctance in his eyes, and told her, "You must take care."

Seeing that the two were inseparable, Tang Yu had no choice but to speak to Song Qinglian again: "Miss Song, it's time to go, and you'll be found later."

"Hmm." Song Qinglian finally turned around with sadness and reluctance, and did not look at him again.

Several people endured the stench in the sewer and walked out of the narrow underground waterway.

Ming Jingxuan watched Song Qinglian's thin body, endured the strong stench and burrowed into the sewer that was unbearable, and his heart ached like a knife.

This feeling of heartache made him infinitely blame himself and guilty, but he couldn't do anything about it, he could only watch her suffer this kind of suffering for herself.

When everyone left, the tears he had endured for a long time finally fell from his eyes, and he could only say heavily, "I'm sorry."

I was arrogant for half my life, but I didn't even think that I would end up like this.

"These are all the properties of our Minghui Hall, and the things that can be sold for money have also been sold, adding up to a total of seven thousand oceans." Tang Yu said while counting the silver tickets he had exchanged.

Zheng Kun added: "Plus a few of our own savings together, it is less than a hundred oceans."

"That's how it should be." Song Qinglian was worried, thinking of Ming Jingxuan, who was suffering in the warehouse of the Li Mansion, and her heart was even more worried.

These days, raising money for the redemption of Ming Jingxuan has made several of them busy and haggard, but all the money added up is less than a fraction of that amount.

Song Qinglian took out all the money she used to sell the sachets, but the money was far from enough. She lowered her head, frowned and whispered, "This money is far from enough to redeem Brother Xuan, and I don't know what happened to him there."

Yao Zhiyun was also anxious: "But we have already taken out all the money we can get, and we can't make up enough at all." If we raise money one day later, Senior Brother Six will suffer one more day's sin, what can we do?"

"Seventh Senior Brother, Eighth Senior Brother." She raised her head, stared at her eyebrows, and said to the two, "Let's go to the theater to sing music, or be a street performer, it doesn't matter if we are tired and tired, we can earn some more money as soon as possible and rescue Senior Brother Six."

Zheng Kun shook his head helplessly, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jiu, you are too naïve to think. It's not what it used to be, where are we going to perform?"

"Senior Brother is gone, who can still have the ability to pull a scene for us to go to the theater now, our most popular sixth senior brother is not here, just a few of our performances, will there be spectators to give Caitou?"

"The previous 100,000 oceans were accumulated by the sixth senior brother after singing for more than ten years, even if there are spectators to give Caitou, it is far from possible to get so much money at once."

"Well, that's right." Yao Zhiyun was deflated, lowered her arms, and was distressed: "I can't raise money now, and it won't work to sell my art, so what should I do?"

Zheng Kun thought for a while and said, "We have done everything we can to raise the money, and now we can think of the fastest way to raise money, which is to find someone to borrow it."

"Seventh Senior Brother." He raised his head and asked Tang Yu, "A few of us went to the bank in the capital to borrow a sum of money, is it okay to borrow this money to save the sixth senior brother, it is important to rescue the sixth senior brother first, and the rest of the money,

We'll pay it back slowly."

"It won't work." Tang Yu directly vetoed: "Those officials in the bank have always worshiped the high and the low, and people like us will definitely not give them a loan, let alone such a large amount."

He paused, and then said in a condensed voice, "If you want to borrow, you can only go door-to-door and beg for it. You can't borrow such a large amount at once."

Yao Zhiyun said again, "But who are we going to borrow? We don't know many rich people, we don't have a clue, and we don't know which of them will lend us."

"Ugh." Tang Yu sighed, with a bit of desolation, "There is only one way to do it now, think about which of our previous spectators can lend us money, let's go and beg them to lend us some money."

"The accounts of the previous performances are also there, let's go and find out which rich family has some friendship with our Minghui Hall."

"Okay." A few people nodded.

Tang Yu took out the accounts and counted the list of performances with several people.

"In the church we went to sing, the Gao family in the north of the city is a big family, and the Zhao family on Hulan Street, and the other is the Hu family, the family of the merchants, the Hu family, and Hu Jin have some festivals with us, and the Hu family must be unable to go, so there is only ......."

When the name Hu Jin was mentioned, Yao Zhiyun's whole person almost trembled. The events of that day left a shadow on her, and even just hearing the name would make her feel creepy.

"If you are willing to be my aunt of the Hu family, and only sing music for me alone, I can take 100,000 oceans as a dowry and take you into the door."

Suddenly, what Hu Jin said to her that day floated into her mind. For some reason, she suddenly thought of his words, and when she thought of them, her whole heart trembled violently.

100,000 oceans...... What I lack the most now is not just 100,000 oceans? Why don't I remember, Hu Jin can give the 100,000 oceans that several people are exhausted for.

But...... If she wants to get this 100,000 oceans in exchange for Ming Jingxuan, the price is that she wants to marry Hu Jin's obscene old man as a concubine, how can she be committed to the old man who feels disgusting at a glance?

But at present, it is more difficult to raise these 100,000 oceans than to ascend to the sky, and the high-ranking families who are ready to borrow money may not be able to lend them so much money. Hu Jin is here, the only way to raise the most money is the fastest.

The sixth senior brother is suffering in the warehouse, and there is still no eyebrow to raise money, if the money can be prepared a day later, the sixth senior brother will be beaten one more time. If a few of her people couldn't raise that amount of money as soon as possible, she was afraid that Senior Brother Six wouldn't be able to endure such torture, how could she bear to let Senior Brother Six suffer?

If he used the rest of his life to exchange this amount of money and replaced the sixth senior brother, the matter would be resolved smoothly. However, his whole life will be buried in the hands of that old man.

That is to say, in his life, he has no chance with the sixth senior brother. If so, would it be worth it?

The sixth senior brother doesn't have himself in his heart, he likes Song Qinglian wholeheartedly, and if he is not by his side in the future, he will not be too uncomfortable. But if he exchanges half of his life's happiness for half his life's happiness, maybe his little sister, who has always disliked him, will let him remember it from now on.

Everyone was looking at the accounts, and only Yao Zhiyun was silent, silently pondering. In an instant, her eyebrows moved, as if she had made a decision in her heart.

The anxiety and sadness on her face were gone, and the wayward demeanor of the little daughter's family was also taken away. She tilted her head and was silent for two seconds, as if to suppress all her thoughts.

Song Qinglian stroked the lotus-patterned white jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes were reluctant, and she was also painful, but she endured the pain in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "If it's not enough, then I'll take this white jade bracelet that Brother Xuan gave me, maybe I will exchange it for some money."

"Brother Xuan...... He won't blame me."

"No!" Who knew that Yao Zhiyun actually stopped Song Qinglian abnormally this time, "This is the heart that the sixth senior brother gave you, he has never given me such a heart, this heart was given to you, why don't you know how to cherish it at all, that's all."

Leave it behind?"

Song Qinglian was naturally reluctant, but she could only say in a deep voice: "But we have no other way, let's raise a little bit and count it."

Yao Zhiyun glared at her fiercely, "Do you think that with just this little money of yours, you can rescue the sixth senior brother, you are really a fool's dream!"

She paused, took another breath, looked at the crowd and said in a faint and deep voice, "Perhaps...... I have a way to raise these 100,000 oceans in the fastest possible time."

"We don't need to borrow money from others, and we don't need to find ways to raise money, these 100,000 oceans will be available soon."

"What?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at Yao Zhiyun.

Zheng Kun took a step forward and asked solemnly, "Xiao Jiu, what did you say? You mean...... Do you really have a way to raise these 100,000 oceans?"

Yao Zhiyun nodded her head deeply, with a bit of pain and bitterness in her mouth: "It's just...... To raise this money, there is a huge price to pay. If you choose this path, you will never be able to go back in this life."

Zheng Kun didn't understand what Yao Zhiyun was saying at all, and couldn't help frowning: "Xiao Jiu, what are you talking about, what are you going to look back, are you really able to raise 100,000 oceans?"

Yao Zhiyun clenched her cuffs, lowered her head slightly, and there was a hint of pain in her voice: "It's true, it's just that after I raised this money, I will never see the sixth senior brother again, and from now on, I won't see the sun......
