Xiao Chenyu was stared at by the two of them, and had no choice but to take two steps forward.

"You are."

In fact, Xiao Chenyu had already heard the conversation between the two just now, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to pretend not to know.

The girl brushed the messy hair on her face with her hand, got up a little embarrassed, and subconsciously hid behind the old man, even if her father wanted to sell her, but in the face of strangers, her father was still her subconscious reliance.

Xiao Chenyu's eyes didn't dare to fall on the girl, because she was soaked, the thin clothes in summer could no longer cover the delicate curves of her body.

Therefore, he could only stare at the old man's face, nodded, and saw that the other party was looking at him very vigilantly, and hurriedly pointed to the mouth of the alley not far away, and said: "Old man don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, my home is here, I'm just going home and passing by now." ”

The old man looked back in disbelief, and then looked at Xiao Chenyu: "With such a heavy rain, what are you doing after you are born?" ”

Xiao Chenyu wanted to say: What are you father and daughter doing here in such heavy rain?

It's just that Xiao Chenyu didn't ask, but arched his hand, holding an umbrella and staggered the father and daughter forward.

The old man was a little dazed, and then turned to look at Xiao Chenyu's back.

The girl behind him also poked her head out and looked over, holding the old man's arm with a slight force, so that the old man came back to his senses.

He suddenly remembered what he had not done, and returned to his demeanor, grabbing his daughter's arm and walking forward.

The momentary reliance and warmth immediately fell apart, and the girl had to lie down on the ground again, so it was not easy for her father to drag her.

It's just that the old man has a defense, how can the delicate and weak girl be the opponent of her father who does farm work, she can't escape and can't break free, and the girl can only shout for help.

Xiao Chenyu heard it, he didn't plan to care, but his steps were a little slow.

As soon as he walked into the alley, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps running behind him, and before Xiao Chenyu could turn around, he was grabbed by a pair of cold and trembling hands.

Looking down, it was the girl who caught up, kneeling in the rain and grabbing Xiao Chenyu's wrist, a pair of eyes washed by tears and rain were full of pleading: "Please, please, help me, my father is going to sell me to the gambling house, I can't go, I can't go." Please help me, as long as you are willing to help me, I will be willing to repay you as a cow and a horse in this life and in the next life. ”

The old man rushed over with a wooden stick picked up on the side of the road, and aimed at the girl's back, the moment the flesh and bone touched the stick, the girl let out a miserable scream, and threw herself forward on Xiao Chenyu's leg.

The old man didn't seem to be angry, and while scolding, he raised the stick again, of course, this time the stick did not fall, but was intercepted by Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu has never seen this scene, but he has heard of it, how similar this scene is to his mother-in-law back then!

While fixing the old man's hand, Xiao Chenyu immediately stepped back, wanting to get rid of the woman's arms holding him, especially the girl's unique body softness was clinging to herself, which made Xiao Chenyu, who had been strong and abstinent for a long time, a little flustered, perhaps, there was still a trace of heart, but these emotions disappeared in an instant.

It's just that the woman seems to want to take Xiao Chenyu as the only life-saving straw, and her strength is very strong, and for a while, she can't break free.

The old man shifted his anger from his daughter to Xiao Chenyu, and tried his best to grab the stick and beat the nosy man in front of him; Xiao Chenyu could only throw the umbrella and pull with the old man, and the girl hugged Xiao Chenyu's leg tightly, it was a mess.

Fortunately, Liu Xi and the others in the house heard the movement at the mouth of the alley, opened the door and came out to investigate, but found three people tossing in the rain, and stood and watched the joke for a while, and then someone hesitated and said: "That man seems to be the second master of our family?" ”

Liu Xi fixed his eyes and looked, hey, it's not his second brother, so he yelled, and rushed over without caring about the downpour, and the people also ran forward.

Soon, everyone rescued Xiao Chenyu from the hands of the old man and the girl.

But the girl cried and begged Xiao Chenyu, followed straight to the gate, knelt down and kowtowed hard, and begged them to buy her with money.

"Kind-hearted people, buy me, I'd rather be a slave than go to a pickled place like that, go to a place like that, I'd better die a hundred times."

The chicken-like girl can't be said to be moving, let alone a little bit of posture, but that body really makes the hearts of all men beat wildly, everyone wants to cover up the sky and the earth or look at the old man who is chasing but is no longer presumptuous, and only dares to quickly glance at the woman with his afterglow.

Xiao Chenyu went back to the house to change his clothes, and wiped his hair briefly, only then did he see Liu Xi walk in.

"Have you sent anyone away?" Xiao Chenyu asked with a calm face.

"How can you get rid of it?" Liu Xi sat on the chair with his butt still dripping with water on his head, but he didn't care, picked up the teacup and drank a cup.

He added: "However, the girl is really pitiful, she is the second sister, and there is an older sister, two younger sisters and a three-year-old younger brother at home. Now that the younger brother is sick and urgently needs money to see a doctor, and now that the harvest in the fields is almost invisible, the old man plans to sell the people to the gambling house in exchange for money for the younger brother's medical treatment. ”

Xiao Chenyu has never been to the gambling house, so he doesn't know the configuration inside.

Wen Yan threw the handkerchief to Liu Xi to wipe his hair, motioned him to wipe his hair, and sat on the chair on the other side to drink tea: "What does the gambling house want women to do?" ”

"My second brother, alas, you are really a reader who doesn't listen to the window, you don't know what the gambling house wants a woman to do?" Liu Xi was very exaggerated and surprised by the second brother's loneliness.

"No more nonsense!" Xiao Chenyu glared at him, Liu Xi hurriedly grinned, and came over a little awkwardly.

"The gambling house says it's a place to gamble money, but there are also women who help to have fun. For example, when someone is unwilling to gamble and wants to leave, does it need to be stimulated and retained? Men, in such an occasion, it's easy to get excited, you don't even know what your surname is, and in the end, you can even export your daughter-in-law and children! ”

In fact, there are many women in the gambling house, in fact, they are similar to the girls in the brothel, and the women in the gambling house are even cheaper, and the men who enter the gambling house can touch, pinch, hug, and kiss at will, and they are not as good as the brothel, and they need enough silver taels to enter the door to ask for girls.

"So what does it mean to be out there now? That girl is going to sell herself to our family? Xiao Chenyu frowned, always feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'll see." Liu Xi glanced at Xiao Chenyu with some weakness, coughed dryly, and said: "This girl is really pitiful, it's better for us to buy people, anyway, there is a shortage of people in the family, and besides, saving people is also a good thing to accumulate virtue." ”

Xiao Chenyu looked at Liu Xi. Asked, "Have you promised to stay?" ”
