"Mother, why are you here?"

It was none other than Li Longzhan's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou had lunch and had nothing to do, so she took her maid to walk around the capital, and happened to see Li Longzhan, so she came over.

"Nothing. It's just for my mother to hang out here. But you, didn't you go to the Pony Mansion with your father? ”

"Yes. Dad, the eldest mother and the concubine were still talking about wine, and after my brother and I were full, my father let us go back first. ”

"That's right. How's it going to be in your Horse House? Tell my mother what happened. ”

"Good. It happened in the Pony House... ”

From the moment Li Yu entered the carriage, he sat on the stool of the carriage without saying a word, as if he was still protesting for himself. Looking out of the window of the carriage, I saw that Xiaolan and her mother had just followed the man in his twenties into an alley. Li Yu was already angry in his heart, but now he saw that the more he thought about them, the more angry he became, and when he saw that the eldest brother and Erniang were talking, he took advantage of the horseman's inattention, quietly got up and got out of the carriage, and also walked towards the alley.

Li Yu walked into the alley, quietly followed them, and turned a few corners. Li Yu saw that they stopped in one place, so he hid in a corner, stretched out his little head and looked inside, and saw the three of them walking to a small door, the man knocked on the door, and a person opened the door, and the man outside the door said to Xiaolan's mother and daughter: "You two are waiting for me here, I'll go and inform you." Li Yu jumped down the wall to a relatively low roof, lying on the room and watching, listening to them.

Xiaolan was a little timid and said, "Mother, is this the place?" ”

The woman nodded, choked up, and said, "Well, child, don't blame your mother, my mother doesn't want to sell you to others, but your brother's illness?" As he spoke, he hugged Xiaolan and cried, speechless. This Xiaolan also cried and said, "Mother, I know, it's okay." ”

After Li Yu heard this, he whispered: "I've seen people selling rice, salt, and mung bean cakes, how can there still be sellers?" Forget it, I don't want to think so much. When he saw that there were a few small stones on the ground, he picked up a few, looked at Xiaolan and said, "You just knocked me over and dropped four mung bean cakes, so I'll hit you four times!" The right to pay me back! Then he took a pebble and threw it at the two men. But although Li Yu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has not practiced much for hidden weapons, and naturally he doesn't know what force to use, so he threw it gently, and the small pebble also fell lightly to the ground, without even making a sound. Throw this piece down, let alone people, I'm afraid that I won't even hit an ant on the ground. Fan Yu looked at it, a little frustrated, and said, "Alas, throw another piece and try it!" He picked up another piece, this time throwing it hard, only to see the small pebble hit the wall next to Xiaolan heavily. The mother and daughter heard the voice, became alert, and looked around, Fan Yu hurriedly took his head back, a little scared in his heart, and said in his heart: "It won't be seen!" ”

Xiaolan asked, "Mother, what's the voice?" The woman said, "It was like the sound of something falling." But they didn't see anyone in the room. At this moment, the young man who brought them came out of the door, followed by a bewitching woman dressed brightly dressed and wearing heavy makeup, and asked the young man, "Are they two?" ”

The young man said, "Yes, she sold her daughter." He pointed to their mother and daughter. The bewitching woman squinted at the woman, and was not interested, so she began to look at the little girl, looked at Xiaolan carefully, and her eyes lit up in an instant, but she still pretended not to look at it. Xiaolan felt that this woman's eyes were very uncomfortable looking at her, and she stood weakly behind her mother.

The bewitching woman said, "Although I have lost a little weight, my facial features are still good." How many taels are you talking about? Xiao Lanmu stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred taels." The woman said, "Two hundred taels!" Is she worth the price!? ”

Xiaolan hurriedly said: "I am very diligent in my work, laundry, cooking, and everything." ”

The woman smiled and said to Xiaolan, "We're not here for you to do this. ”

Xiaolan's mother said: "My youngest son is sick, I want this money to save his life!" Please also ask the lady to help the villain. ”

The woman said, "What does your son's life or death have to do with me?" One hundred and fifty taels, if you are willing, you are willing, if you are not willing, find someone else. ”

Xiaolan's mother begged and said, "Madam, you can do it!" Then he got down on his knees and went to pull the woman's clothes.

The bewitching woman said that when she saw her dirty hands pulling at her clothes, she slapped the woman's hands off, and said angrily, "Don't touch my clothes with your dirty hands!" As much as he said, he gave as much as he wanted, and no more. ”

Li Yu watched and listened to it, and for some reason, a fire broke out in his heart inexplicably, and said, "Phew! This woman is disgusting. If she wants to be in front of me, I'm going to beat her up. ”

Seeing that the woman had no intention of relenting, Xiaolan's mother thought that her son was still waiting for money to save her life, so she could only compromise and said, "Then one hundred and eighty taels." ”

The woman said, "That's it!" Hurry up and get the money to treat your son. A subordinate came with a beckon, took a bag of silver taels, and lost Xiaolanmu. The woman said, "This is one hundred and fifty taels, and one son is not a lot, and your daughter will not be taken care of in the future." With that, he pulled Xiaolan and prepared to go in.

Xiaolan's mother got the money, opened the bag, roughly counted the points, squeezed out some smiles on her sad face, and heard her say that her daughter would not care about it in the future, so she asked, "Is Madame going to another place?" Where are you going? I can also go, and in the future I will redeem my daughter when I have money. ”

The woman smiled contemptuously: "Haha, go to the field." I already have such a big reputation in this drunken spring building, how can I be out of town! ”

Xiao Lan's mother looked stunned and said, "Drunken Spring Building? Of course, Xiaolanmu knows that it is a well-known local "brothel". Then he confronted the man who brought them next to him, "Didn't you say that you would sell them to someone else's house to be a maid?" If you have money in the future, you can redeem it. ”

The man said with a disdainful face: "Do you think that the mansions of those dignitaries are easy to enter?" Some people spend money and still can't get in? Are you still thinking about good things when you're so poor? ”

When the woman knew that her daughter's life would be ruined if she entered such a place, she repented and said, "I will not sell it!" How can I sell my daughter to this place? So he pushed the money in his hand to the man who had just given him the money, but the man did not take it steadily, and the silver fell to the ground. The woman took hold of her daughter's hand, pulled her back from the woman's hand, and tried to leave.

This bewitching woman watched Xiaolan take it away from her hands, and she was very annoyed in her heart, she saw that Xiaolan was young, but her appearance was very standard, and she would definitely be an excellent beauty in the future, and she spent one hundred and fifty taels to buy a cash cow, and she was very happy in her heart, so she wanted to make it clear directly, so that this woman and this girl would break up their relationship, but who knew that this woman regretted it. shouted loudly: "Since I have already paid the money, this person is mine, and you still want to take it away?" Then he said to the man who brought them, "You don't care about the people you have brought them?" You don't want your money anymore, do you? ”

The man's eyes immediately became vicious, and he walked over and grabbed Xiaolan's mother by the collar, and threw Xiaolan's mother to the ground. shouted loudly: "If you want to sell, you can sell, if you don't sell, you won't sell?" You don't look at what this place is? Tell you, why don't you get out of here with the silver? Or else...! "Make a head-killing gesture.

Li Yu saw everything that happened above, and when he saw that the man knocked Xiao Lanmu to the ground, he had another urge to go up and stop it, but his legs seemed to be clamped, and he didn't dare to go over. He said to himself, "I don't care about my own business, I'd better go." I wanted to get up and leave, but for some reason, I couldn't bear it, so I went back to the roof and watched.

Xiaolan saw her mother fall to the ground, so she hurriedly lay on her mother to see if her mother was injured. A man came viciously, grabbed Xiaolan's clothes and pulled them back. Xiaolan hugged her mother tightly, and when the man saw that he couldn't pull it in, he said, "Tell you, if you don't come today, I will kill your mother first!" See where else you can run?! As he spoke, he let go of the hand that grabbed Xiaolan and walked towards Xiaolan's mother. Xiaolan's mother quickly stood up, pushed the man with her body, directly hit the man against the wall, and pulled Xiaolan to run out of the alley. The man also didn't expect this woman to suddenly have such great strength, and when she stood firm, she chased after the mother and daughter.

Xiaolan's mother pulled Xiaolan to run, and shouted as she ran: "Someone! Help me! Seeing that he was about to go to the fork in the road, he saw that suddenly a stick hit Xiao Lanmu's head directly from the front, and Xiao Lanmu was knocked to the ground by a sudden stick, and blood flowed down her forehead, staining half of her face red. At this time, four sturdy men with wooden sticks came from the fork in the road in front of them and surrounded Xiaolan's mother and daughter. Xiaolan cried and lay beside her mother, shaking her mother's body, and shouting, "Is there anyone!" Someone! Mother! ”

The man came and saw Xiaolanmu lying on the ground panting, kicked Xiaolanmu's leg hard, and said, "Run!" You run! When she was about to kick again, Xiaolan hurriedly hugged the man's leg and cried, "I'll go with you, you let my mother go!" ”

Li Yu kept watching nervously, and he didn't dare to breathe. Originally, when I saw Xiaolan's mother and daughter running, I breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw four more big men coming around, his heart seemed to be hanged, and his legs trembled a little, and he comforted himself and said, "Wait, find a chance to see if you can help them?" ”

At this time, the bewitching woman came over and said, "You did this earlier, didn't you also save a meal of flesh and skin?" I wasted so much time, and I was supposed to give you one hundred and fifty taels. Now I have to take out fifty taels, and if these brothers are invited to drink, I will have one hundred taels left for you. You can take it. As he spoke, he threw a few pieces of silver next to Xiao Lanmu.

Xiaolan picked up the money on the ground, put it in her mother's arms, and said, "Mother, you can take the money, my brother still needs to see a doctor!" Then he took out a wrapped cloth from his bosom and said, "These pastries were dropped by the young master just now, I don't look too dirty, you can take them back and give them to my brother to eat." He put the cloth in his mother's arms, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Xiaolan can't take care of you anymore, you have to take good care of yourself and your brother." With that, he stood up and walked over to the woman.

Fan Yu looked at this girl, and felt ashamed in her heart, she had no worries about food and clothing all day long, and there were people to take care of her everywhere, and this girl even had to take the pastries she dropped back to her younger brother to eat. Li Yu was very entangled in his heart: "Should I save them?" Can I save them? It would be nice if my father was here, if my mother was here, if Master Zhao was here! ”

Xiaolan's mother didn't know where she got the strength to stand up, hugged Xiaolan in her arms, and said, "As long as my mother is here, I won't let those villains spoil you!" Then he said to them, "You will not die well, for I will not give you my daughter." The man kicked Xiao Lanmu in the back and said, "You stinky woman, toast and don't eat and drink." If you want to die, we will fulfill you today! Then he motioned to those people, pulled Xiaolan and her mother apart, punched and kicked Xiaolan's mother, and beat each other with sticks, Xiaolan was crying and stopped it, but the people were powerless, how could they stop these men.
