Anqingfang is located in the west of the city, which is one of the most chaotic markets in the capital. Turning the corner of the street, there are two casinos with different signs of each other.

Not far away, there is also a flower building. It is different from those vassal and elegant flower buildings in Pingkangfang. The girl in the flower building here is a role, a tool for men to vent their desires, not to mention that there are many secret prostitutes in the depths of the streets.

Surprisingly, more than half of the people who set up stalls on the streets were women.

Gu Danxue watched a scarred face with a tattooed arm pass in front of her. She tried her best to keep her face calm, but her long-term habit still made her subconsciously bow her head.

She had been brought to this place for most of the day, and the guards who had brought her had the maid help her down, and then left in a carriage.

She stared blankly at the strange and chaotic streets, and her instinct to deal with the living made her feel panicked.

But she could also roughly guess the good intentions of Shen Mingjiao and the others, in this regard, she felt ashamed in her heart and wanted to do something to reassure her good friends, but on the other hand, she didn't know what to do, and she was at a loss.

Gu Danxue was sitting in a leeward corner at this time, behind the wall seemed to be a green building, and not far from where she was leaning, an unkempt woman was being chained, and when she saw the shocking whip marks on the woman's legs, she was startled and a little afraid to approach. People who come and go seem to be accustomed to this.

According to an old lady selling flowers at the intersection, she chatted with people at the top of her voice.

This woman has flower willow disease, even so, the old bustard still wants to squeeze the last trace of value out of the woman, if he encounters a guest who likes to beat and abuse, he will take the woman to pick up.

Gu Danxue was shocked when she heard this, she had hardly been out of the Houfu since she was a child, although she knew that the world was difficult, but she naturally had no way of knowing what the specific difficult method was.

Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was shocked and complicated indescribably, and she always glanced at the woman from time to time, who was lying motionless, her messy black hair covering her face.

She stared blankly at the void, and couldn't help but think that there were people in this world who had a much more difficult life than her.

At this time, a dirty little girl squatted beside her and nibbled on steamed buns, looking up at her curiously with big eyes from time to time.

"Auntie, why haven't I seen you before, are you new here?"

Gu Danxue was stunned by her aunt's call, and subconsciously touched her face.

Before she came, Cui Lingling should have quietly helped her change her appearance, coupled with her shabby clothes, even if her behavior was a little weird, the people she saw only thought she had fled, after all, there was a mixture of fish and dragons here, and everyone had it.

As for why it is easy to disguise an older woman, in such a place, if it is a girl, no matter how ugly she looks, it will not be safe.

Gu Danxue answered vaguely, obviously not wanting to say more.

The little girl is a little chatter, chattering and chattering.

In less than a cup of tea, Gu Danxue knew that the little girl's family lived in the dilapidated house opposite, and her stepfather was a gambler, drunk and liked to beat people. The mother sells cold vegetables at the corner of the street, and the little girl usually pretends to be a little beggar to beg for money everywhere.

Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, the new lady did not respond, and the little girl blinked and asked, "Auntie, are you unhappy!" Or is Huahua not good? ”

Gu Danxue has always been flattered by the kindness of others, this will be looked at by the little girl's big eyes, she subconsciously reflects on her attitude is too bad?

She was a little awkward and said, "No,... Flowery is lovely. ”

Hearing that she was praised, the little girl named Huahua jumped up happily: "Auntie, you are the first person to praise me for being cute." ”

looked at the steamed buns with two mouthfuls left in his hand, gritted his teeth and took out a flattened bean paste bun from his chest:

"Auntie, you must be very hungry, this is the reward I just got for helping Uncle Chen sweep the yard of the bun shop. Auntie, take it and eat it! ”

Gu Danxue naturally can't ask for it, she is an adult, how can she ask for food from children!

And although her stomach screamed badly, she knew that she couldn't eat at all.

Seeing that the eldest lady didn't accept it, Huahua hesitated for a moment and forcibly stuffed the bun into Gu Danxue's hand.

But at this moment, several little boys in ragged clothes passed by, snatched the bean paste bag from the little girl's hand and ran away.

Huahua was stunned for a moment, looked at her empty little hands, and cried out,

Gu Danxue stood in place, a little at a loss for a while. She couldn't figure out how someone was robbing things in broad daylight!

She whispered, "I'm sorry......"

Huahua didn't listen, just cried vigorously.

Gu Danxue really didn't know what to do now, her forehead was sweating with anxiety.

At this time, she touched her pocket, and actually felt a hard mass. When I took it out, it turned out to be a small packet of jerky. There is also a package of concocted and cut ginseng slices, which Shen Mingjiao is afraid that she will not be able to hold on.

Her eyes were a little sour, and she felt even more guilty. She handed the little girl a whole packet of jerky.

"Eat! This one is better than steamed buns. ”

Huahua took it in a daze, reacted to what she was taking, hurriedly looked around like a thief, covered her mouth and whispered: "Auntie, you actually have jerky!" "She hadn't eaten meat in more than two months.

Just a bag of jerky, Gu Danxue didn't feel anything. "Well, let's eat!"

Flowey swallowed, but only took one slice and pushed the rest back. "I'm full."

After speaking, he straightened up his shriveled little belly.

Gu Danxue couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, and praised sincerely: "You are such a good boy." ”

In the end, Gu Danxue didn't send out the bag of jerky.

The sky was getting dark, Gu Danxue looked at the interface that was more lively and chaotic than during the day, a little dazed and scared, but she didn't seem to be so afraid, anyway, she was going to die - she couldn't eat at all now.

It's just that...... Before that, when it came to death, her heart was calm and liberated. And now, when I swiped through everything I saw today, I felt a trace of unwillingness in my heart.

It wasn't until the fast forward that the bustle of the street gradually stopped. Flowey's mother also came back with a cart.

Huahua saw Gu Danxue sitting there alone, and had to drag her home to live.

Huahua's mother was reluctant to bear Huahua's soft grinding and hard bubbles.

In the end, she was forcibly led home by Huahua, saying that it was home, which was a few mud-tiled houses. Huahua's mother didn't look very good, and pointed to a booth with a firewood pile in the far corner. "The humble house is shabby, so it's hard for this eldest sister to be here for one night."

Gu Danxue still understands some sophistication, took out the bag of jerky and handed it over: "This is the accommodation fee." ”

Huahua's mother was a little surprised, but her face softened a lot, and she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, your bag of beef jerky is enough to go to the guest house and wait for a room." ”

Gu Danxue suddenly felt that even though there were many evils in this world, there were no shortage of good people.

……

Gu Danxue sat down next to the firewood stack, and Huahua's mother threw her a broken quilt before leaving, she was a little dizzy at this time, she knew that it was because she hadn't eaten for a long time.

She hesitated to pick up a piece of jerky and put it in her mouth, obviously very hungry, but as soon as the jerky entered her mouth, the nausea in her throat surged uncontrollably.

She knew that this might be the sequelae of hanging, and her eyes crossed her unwillingness that even she didn't notice.

At this moment, there was a sound of dragging chains. Huahua's house was facing the back door of the Hualou, and the firewood shed where she was was facing the woman who was chained.

With the help of the wind lamp in the backyard of the flower building, she saw someone rudely throwing two steamed buns at the woman's hand. Because she threw it too far, the woman lay on the ground and stretched out her hand to hook it for a long time. But the woman didn't give up, even though she knew she couldn't break free from the chains. Still gritting his teeth and reaching out in vain.

Seeing this situation, Gu Danxue didn't know where she got the courage, so she stood up, rushed over in a few steps, picked up the steamed bun, squatted down, and gently put it in the woman's hand.

The woman looked up suddenly, and the hair that covered her entire face parted slightly, revealing a pair of eyes.

Gu Danxue was stunned, these eyes were extremely beautiful, they were actually a pair of phoenix eyes, she seemed to have seen them somewhere.

But she didn't pay attention to it, after all, in her cognition. The girls in the flower building are said to be very beautiful.

The woman didn't speak, she just lowered her head and clenched the steamed bun and put it to her mouth, and then devoured it.

Gu Danxue watched quietly, involuntarily picked up a piece of jerky again, and swallowed it a little bit with regurgitation amid the chewing sound of the woman on the other side.
