Yao Yuqing stood on the top of the mountain outside Bai Hong's Mansion like a stone sculpture for two days, but he never thought about the reason.

She simply stopped thinking about it, but went down the mountain, transformed into an old woman, and entered the city.

The reason why Baihongfu is a 'mansion' is not only because it has 68 counties under its jurisdiction, but also because it is a town that is directly dispatched by officials from the imperial court.

It was midday, and the streets were filled with the smell of food.

Yao Yuqing walked slowly down the street, looking left and right with interest.

About half an hour later, her heart suddenly moved, and she was guided by the darkness, and turned east and west and walked into a dead and barren street.

Although there are many shops on both sides of the street, all the doors and windows are closed, and there is no other street that is full of people and bustling.

As far as the eye can see, there are houses with white flags hanging from them.

Every time the wind blows, the white paper money will fly all over the street, and the white flags will also sway gently.

After Yao Yuqing saw this scene, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

There is not only the Demon Division in Bai Hong's Mansion, but even the prefect and the official also have cultivation, how can so many people die?

Just when she felt strange in her heart, she saw a little girl in ragged clothes walking out of a courtyard with her head down.

She was probably only seven or eight years old, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Yao Yuqing noticed at first glance that there was a weed stuck between the girl's messy hair.

"It's ......"

Staying incognito in the world all the year round, she naturally knows the meaning of the grass on her head.

Since ancient times, the poor or the big and ruined families will take valuable things out and sell them when they can't live anymore.

And because the literacy rate of ordinary people is low, and the local dialects are also different, so putting a piece of grass next to the commodity has become a certain convention.

And the little girl has grass on her head, which means that she is a commodity.

What surprised Yao Yuqing the most was that she secretly felt that this little girl would be very important to her.

But she didn't find anything special about this girl.

At this time, after the little girl walked out of the courtyard, she did not close the courtyard door by the way, but went in the direction where Yao Yuqing came.

Yao Yuqing's heart couldn't help but move.

Then he reached out and went to explore the courtyard.

The whole courtyard is rectangular in shape, about 50 square meters.

The walls of the three houses in the courtyard are made of adobe, and the roofs are covered with tiles, which look old.

There were some vegetables growing in the open space on the left side of the yard, but because there were days when no one was taking care of them, a few dwarf vegetable seedlings had shriveled up and withered away from the soil.

On the dusty floor of the main house, there were two corpses, a man and a woman, wrapped in straw mats, with only their feet exposed.

"These are her parents?"

"Where is she going to sell herself?"

Yao Yuqing thought of these in her heart and slowly followed.

After a while, the little girl walked out of the street and came to a lively street full of people.

Yao Yuqing noticed that after the people around saw the little girl walking out of the dead street, they all subconsciously stayed away from her.

"It looks like something must have happened on that street, and many people know about it."

By the time she thought about this, the little girl had already walked far with her head down.

Yao Yuqing subconsciously quickened her pace.

About half an hour later, the little girl entered an alley with only a plain wooden door.

That is to say, the entire alley is the wall of a certain courtyard.

At this time, the little girl came to the wooden door, opened her mouth wide, and breathed deeply several times before she had the courage to stand on tiptoe, grab the brass ring on the door, and knock on the wooden door.

"Bang bang—"

Soon after the voice sounded, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and flowers opened the door inward.

The woman seemed to know the little girl, and at first sight of her, she asked coldly.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Your parents and I are old acquaintances, and I especially warn you, this is not a good place!"

The corners of her mouth were full of sarcasm, and she shook her head invisibly.

"If it's the world out there, it's hell here!"

"After entering here, you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life!"

The little girl's face turned pale with fright from her words, but her face was so white that ordinary people couldn't see the difference.

But Yao Yuqing saw it clearly.

The little girl took a few deep breaths and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, then, can you lend me some money to bury my father?" ”

The woman sneered when she heard this, and said, "How easy is it for you to be a mother?" ”

"If it weren't for your mother and I who knew each other before, I wouldn't have said what I just said."

Say it, twist your waist to get out of the way, and said coldly: "If you want money to bury your father and mother, it doesn't work to ask for someone, you can only rely on yourself!" ”

When the girl heard this, she could only bite her lip and walk in.

Yao Yuqing, who had long since disappeared, subconsciously sighed lightly after seeing this scene from a short distance.

Even if she didn't have to perceive it with her divine sense, she could hear the sound of joy coming from that compound.

Obviously, the little girl wants to sell herself into this green building to bury her parents.

And this alley is the backyard of this green building.

As the little girl walked in, the woman closed the wooden door tightly.

After Yao Yuqing saw this scene, her figure just flashed, and she appeared directly in the courtyard.

I saw that the woman was whispering a reminder to the little girl.

"You must remember, when someone asks you where you are from, you must not say that you are from Baihong Mansion, let alone tell her that you are going to sell yourself to bury your parents."

"Your parents died under the curse of the immortals, if you let your mother know about it, even if you have the qualifications, she won't buy you."

"Moreover, if you say that, it will affect me."

The little girl nodded blankly.

When the woman saw this, she sighed in her heart.

She also experienced the little girl's dazed and helpless at the moment.

She wanted to help her, but she was powerless.

I can only come up with this way.

Thinking of this, she asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

The little girl said softly, "My name is Qingqing." ”

After finishing speaking, she remembered what her parents had told her, and added: "My full name is Yao Qingqing." ”

When she said her name, the woman just nodded.

But Yao Yuqing, who was hiding her figure, changed her face.

"Yao Qingqing?"

She whispered a name that was so familiar to her, and her expression became complicated.

Once, when she was young, her name was 'Qingqing'.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, and felt more and more that this girl named Yao Qingqing must have a big secret hidden in her.

And this secret is definitely related to her.
