She had barely seen any young women in the shack area outside the city gates, and now she realized that they had all gathered here.

Huo Rongdong was pushed and locked in a half-old courtyard in Yichun Xiaozhu.

There are three rooms in the courtyard, which are not broken, but the smell of dust and decay on the tip of the nose should be uncleaned.

There were no spare tables and chairs, so she sat cross-legged on the old futon on the ground, her hands bound by fairy bindings, and she could only hang down in front of her.

……

She wasn't the only one in the room.

Huo Rongdong lowered his eyes and looked at himself secretly.

Before, he encountered seven loose cultivators robbing him on the road near the Qionghai Secret Realm, and Qi Ci vaguely mentioned the deeds of these people.

In the eyes of the monks, men are yang and women are yin, and complementary dual cultivation is beneficial to each other's practice, but when one party dominates and is forced to persecute, the weaker side will become a furnace for supplementation.

Most of the techniques in the world are to collect yin and supplement yang, and these women, who are the furnace dings, have a miserable end.

Qi Ci's expression was very disgusted when he said it, and he didn't go into much detail, but Huo Rongdong wrote it down.

This world is always extremely malicious towards women, and female monks are still unstable and regressive in their cultivation, not to mention ordinary people who have no mana.

What Huo Rongdong didn't expect was that these monks of the Zhou family would be so vicious that they would suck people alive.

……

There is a big kang in the room, on which there are six or seven women lying or sitting, and there should be more in other courtyards, and no one is talking at the moment, quietly.

All of them are good-looking, but they all have gray faces and thin bodies, and the two with the most serious symptoms, Huo Rongdong can already clearly see that the dead air is permeating.

"Squeak-" There was a loud sound, and the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

A little girl about six or seven years old walked in with difficulty, her clothes were shabby, her hair was combed, and her small body barely carried a copper basin filled with water, and a towel, the basin was even bigger than her face.

The female doll walked in the direction of Huo Rendong, but she was too small after all, and her strength was not enough to support her for a long time.

I only heard a "bang", and the basin overturned, and the water inside spilled all over the ground.

She hurriedly bent down to serve it, and wiped the water on the ground with the clothes on her body, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Huo Rongdong saw that she was skinny and skinny, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, those people won't come in and beat you." ”

The girl stood up with the basin in her arms and looked at her with a wincing expression.

Huo Rongdong showed a kind smile: "Little sister, are you a citizen of Zhou City?" ”

Seeing that she was amiable, the girl boldly spoke: "It's not Zhoucheng, this is Hecheng." ”

Huo Nuckold nodded and asked her name again.

The female doll wiped her tears and replied softly: "My name is Ah Li, the pear of the white fungus pear soup." ”

I was about to ask something more, but I heard the little girl's belly grunting like a drum.

Ah Li hurriedly covered her hands with her face, and she was too shy to look at her.

Huo Rongdong gestured to his waist: "There are sugar balls in my sister's belt, so I won't be hungry if I eat it." ”

Ah Li was stunned, she was very afraid of people, but Huo Rendong was really beautiful, and her hands were tied again, obviously not from the Zhou family, she was tempted by the huge attraction that could fill her stomach, and slowly moved to the futon.

Huo Honeysuckle's storage bag was taken away by Zhou Bin, but fortunately, she had the habit of carrying emergency items with her.

In addition to a few broken silvers and a few lower-grade spirit stones, there were also more than a dozen Bigu Dan wrapped in oiled paper.

Ah Li picked up one and chewed it carefully, and sure enough, she felt warm in her stomach and had strength in her body.

She was grateful, and her eyes changed.

"Thank you, sister!"

Huo Rendong raised his hand again and motioned for her to look at the rope on her wrist: "Okay, Ah Li, I was also captured by these wicked people, can you try to see if you can untie the rope?" ”

Ah Li really got started and tried it, but the grade of this magic weapon was not low, and the little girl couldn't find it after trying it for a long time.

Sorry: "Sister, I can't solve ......"

Huo Rongdong smiled: "It's okay, there are still a lot of sugar balls, Ah Li will take them and share them with other sisters." ”

The only little girl who could move freely nodded, and ran away with the oiled paper bag.

Huo Honeysuckle sat cross-legged with a solemn face.

The situation was much worse than she had imagined.

She had just impacted the meridians again, and the spiritual power in her body had entered the sea without any growth.

Binding the immortal is a means of the immortal family, if she doesn't untie the rope, she can only let the mermaid meat.

Moreover, Qi Ci didn't know if she had seen the bead flowers she left behind.

He...... Will they come to her rescue?

When his mind was in turmoil, someone suddenly spoke in the quiet room.

A woman sat up facing her direction, her face ashen, but she could still see that she was very young and beautiful.

"This girl, you came in from outside the city, right?"

"My name is Tian Wanrou, have you seen my brother, he is very recognizable, he has a scar on his face, and he lives in a shed outside the city......"

The first one spoke, and soon the other girls began to ask about her.

"And my father's mother, they are repairing the stone carvings outside the city lord's mansion, my father is lame."

"Girl, is my brother still alive? He ......"

Huo Rongdong saw a pair of eyes full of horror and sorrow, held back his chaotic thoughts, and spoke calmly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I was coerced into the city by the Zhou family, just a hurried glance. If you have anything to say, let's talk to your family when you go out. ”

As the words fell, someone in the dark room began to weep lowly.

"Get out?"

"How can you get out?"

"Everyone, you all have to die here......"

In the atmosphere of depression and despair, a hoarse and low female voice sounded.

"The fairy should be a monk, I didn't expect the Zhou family to dare to kidnap the female cultivator."

Huo Rendong was a little surprised, she looked up and saw the only woman sitting on the chair, she was helping Ah Li recoil her head, with a heroic look in her eyebrows.

The woman looked at her with a tired look in her eyes: "My name is Fu Chunhua, my father is the original city lord of River City, I can tell you anything you want to know." ”

Zhoucheng was not originally called by this name, this is the river city, which is a famous port city located on the side of the long river. It's just that there was a drought a few years ago, and the old city lord Fu begged for rain everywhere and begged for the head of the Zhou family.

This week, the head of the family is a little capable, and it really rained, but the people of River City didn't know that this rain did not bring a bumper harvest of food, but a nightmare of eternal peace.

"The Zhou family occupied the mansions in the city, and drove the people out of their homes, leaving only some of the merchants who paid the reward." Fu Chunhua looked pained.

"Zhou Lin pushed my father, uncle, and uncle all down the river, and my younger brother was just six years old that year. I used to have three cousins who were like flowers, and now I ...... I am the only one left in the Fu family. ”

The sobbing in the room didn't know when it would stop, and the air was frozen as if it were solid.

Huo Rongdong suddenly raised her hand, and the immortal binds on her wrists emitted a slight golden light, reflecting the moonlight outside the window.

Her voice was clear: "If you untie this rope, I will be able to take you away." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Ah Li bit her fingers and was confused, and the other women were thoughtful and even suspicious.

Only Fu Chunhua believed it, and she struggled to sit up: "Fairy, do you mean it really?" ”

"Words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful."

That night, no one brought them food. Only a squinting man wanted to come in, but Huo Rongdong kicked his chin and threw him out of the room.

The women in the room were all dumbfounded, more convinced by her.

Only Huo Rongdong knew that it was thanks to Qi Ci's strictness when he practiced swords on weekdays.

*

Branches on the moon.

Huo Honeysuckle sat quietly all night, and when the sky was completely bright, there were many people outside the house.

The thin man I saw yesterday looked around left and right, and saw that she didn't run or resist, so she was very satisfied, and instructed Ah Lidao.

"Take care of her and bring her out."

After saying that, he threw something down and slammed the door shut.

Ah Li was stunned to pick up the baggage, and saw that it was a new water-red dress. The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then, as if remembering some bad memory, threw away the burden.

She pounced, tears in her eyes, desperately trying to win the rope on Huo Honeysuckle's wrist.

"A-Li?"

"My aunt and aunt just put on this dress, and they never came back after being taken away."

Ah Li's little face was wrinkled, and her eyes were red: "I don't want my sister to do the same......"

Huo Nindong was silent.

The next moment, Fu Chunhua squeezed Ah Li away and pulled the knot hard, and she even bit it with her upper teeth.

On the other side, Wanrou struggled to crawl over from the kang, and did the same to untie the immortal binding. The other immobilized and extremely weak women in the room also looked at each other expectantly.

They looked at Huo Nindong, as if they were looking at a spark in despair, a beam of light before dawn.

*

Zhou Bin waited outside the door for a while, and when his patience was about to run out, the wooden door suddenly opened.

Huo Rendong, who had already changed into new clothes, walked out alone.

At this moment, no one cared why Ah Li was not there, because everyone was attracted by the woman in red.

She used to have a cold face, like a glacier snow lotus, but now she is dressed in red, and she is hot and gorgeous like a peony.

'All the people looked at it, and the color of the world was like dust. ’

A group of attendants behind Zhou Bin looked at her, drooling greedily. The thin man himself was also very moved, but he remembered the instructions of the head of the family and knocked on the head of the younger brother.

"Have you seen enough, the head of the house is waiting, why don't you send someone over quickly!"

"Yes, big brother."

Huo Rongdong hung his head expressionlessly and followed them obediently.

I don't know if it's ironic or not, she always has an indissoluble bond with the red clothes...... But so far, she has not worn a wedding dress for herself.

A group of people led her to the most magnificent building in the City Lord's Mansion.

This place should have been built in the later period, a towering attic, surrounded by fairy clouds, and from time to time there were servants leading demon beasts to walk by.

"Let's go in, be honest." Zhou Bin opened the attic door and pushed her in in a low voice.

Huo Rendong stumbled for a moment, and when he saw that there was already a person sitting inside, he was shocked and silent.

It was an old man with goosebumps, dark age spots all over her cheeks, her hair sparse and gray, and a pair of squinted eyes, quietly looking at the bundle of immortals on her wrists.

And on the four walls of the attic, rows of flying swords of strange styles are hung. Each piece is bright and beautifully textured.

Her Sunset Sword is among them.

Huo Rendong's heart was excited, but he desperately slowed down his breathing, and slowly moved to the futon in the middle of the attic and sat down.

She was dressed up and sat in her bedroom in a red wedding dress, waiting for the man who was as old as the bark of a tree to approach.
