Chapter 172: Selling Yourself (1)
When Xiao Wu turned into Liuwu Street, he saw a chaotic fight from a distance, and when he got closer, Xiao Wu heard a scream, "Ahh......h Lord, lord, in the grace period of two more days, ah......".
This voice felt like her brain suddenly exploded, and Xiao Wu clearly heard her father's voice.
Hurriedly parting the crowd of onlookers, Xiao Wu saw that it was indeed his father, he was being beaten by three strong men, the snow on the ground, the stars stained with blood, and the red demon Ye was dazzling, which also pierced Xiao Wu's heart.
"Stop...... Don't hit my dad."
A strong man's fist was about to fall on his father's face, and Xiao Wufei rushed over and blocked it with a bamboo flute.
"Whew......"
The strong man held his wrist and howled in pain like a pig, and the other two strong men were also stunned by the scene in front of him, motionless, looking at Xiao Wu who suddenly broke in.
"Wow?......"
The onlookers were also stunned, and suddenly a girl flew out and called the five big and three thick strong men "whoop", which is really a strange thing.
Xiao Wu hurriedly went to help, Zhen Guang, who was beaten to the ground, saw that his father's head had been broken and was bleeding out, Xiao Wu hurriedly covered it with his hand, and shouted bitterly in his mouth, "Dad! Daddy......".
Zhen Guang was stunned by the beating, this "Dad" made him recognize Xiao Wu, grabbed her hand, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, they ...... you Caught it too?".
"No, Dad, I'm here to find Dad, to give Dad a cotton robe......"
"Xiao Wu!"
Both father and daughter burst into tears, looking at each other with miserable eyes.
A strong man with a long beard, with a face half puzzled and half surprised, stabbed Xiao Wu with the stick in his hand.
"Hey, hey, you're the gambler...... Daughter?"
Xiao Wu stood up with a pair of eyes as sharp as knives, glaring at the beard.
"My father, not a gambler, I'm a ...... My daddy's daughter."
"Big brother, hit that little cub, she interrupted...... My wrist bones, you see......"
Xiao Wu didn't know that she had no intention of resisting, and actually broke the wrist bone of the strong man, she didn't know that what her master taught was all heavenly magic moves, although she had no magic power, but just hard kung fu was not something that ordinary mortals could parry.
At a glance, the wrist of the strong man with a broken wrist was black and purple and swollen, and he was glaring at him with a beard, and he was broken by a little girl.
"Shut up, don't be ashamed, get out, get out of the way"
The strong man with his wrist was bored, took two steps back, didn't dare to squeak again, glared at Xiao Wu angrily, and wanted to kill her.
Turning to Xiao Wu with an unconvinced face, he smiled with a sly smile, "Okay! Okay, it's really good, I sent it to the door myself, and they all said that my father would repay his debts, that little girl, you will help your father...... Pay your debts".
Xiao Wu glared at her angrily and replied without fear, "I don't have any money, you have a period of grace, and when the time comes, I will return it to you even with interest."
The beard suddenly darkened a terrible face, frowned, categorically, and without any room for negotiation, gritted his teeth and replied.
"No, it's been a long time, and it's ...... It is the last day, if you don't pay off your debts, today, is the death of the old gambler. Grandpa, you can't get the money back, but you can't give it back...... Those who do not repay their debts should set rules and set an example."
The crowd of onlookers began to chatter and talk.
"Hey, these are specially designed to help people collect debts, they are very fierce, and they are in their hands, it's not good!"
"I'm afraid it's really going to kill someone, it's better to stay away"
“......”
Zhen Guang listened, I don't know where the strength came from, got up and grabbed Xiao Wu, and pushed it out of the crowd.
"Xiao Wu, let's go! Dad today, I'm afraid I can't escape, you go, go quickly......"
The bearded man was holding a stick in his hand, stretched out his hand, and stopped in front of Xiao Wu, "Let's go, think of the beauty, sell this little girl, how much...... And a few more money."
"Master, you can't sell it, she has been sold to Master Sun's family as a child daughter-in-law, and she is about to ...... Taken away"
Zhen Guang confessed honestly, hoping to protect Xiao Wu, not to be sold as a slave, to marry into the Qian family, at least not to become a slave, and not to starve again, Zhen Guang also knew that he could not afford to offend the Qian family.
"Hmph, who did Grandpa care you for, who did you sell her to? The money owed today......... If not, old gambler, next year today will be your sacrifice day. If you can only pay back part of it, then grandpa has to see how much you owe...... It depends on how much you take, whether it's an arm, a leg, or a dog's head...... How much can you sell this little girl?...... Ask for more blessings."
The beard flew and kicked Zhen Guang with a big kick, scolding on his lips.
"Bastard!"
Xiao Wu was on fire and wanted to rush up, but Zhen Guang grabbed the corner of his robe.
"No! uncle...... Please, my daughter is too young to be a slave."
Pulling the corner of the little dance robe and not letting go, Zhen Guang kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the blood on his head flowed again, because of fear and cold, the whole person shrank into a small person.
"Look for death!"
The strong man who injured his wrist kicked over again after flying up, Xiao Wu blocked in front of him, and his arm secretly used force to dissolve the power of this kick.
The strong man who injured his wrist and hand felt a sharp pain in his foot and exclaimed, "Big brother, this little girl...... will martial arts".
The strong man who squinted his eyes and hurt his wrist in disgust, thinking that he was clumsy and could not do anything.
"Fuck you, you idiot who eats! Go write a deed of sale and let this old gambler sign it." You, go to Nu City, let Zhai Laosan come over, and see, this little girl...... How much is it worth?"
Xiao Wu understood that she couldn't hide today, she wiped her tears, stood up, and shouted in pain to her beard.
"No need, find pen and ink, I'll write it myself...... Deed of Sale. I don't have to...... You sell, I, I ,...... I sell myself"
The beard and Xiao Wu looked at each other, and the coldness in the little girl's eyes made him feel a little weak, thought for a moment, chose to compromise, and stabbed him with a stick, and the strong man who was hurting his wrist in a daze.
"Fool, go, find pen and ink"
"Oh oh oh yes, big brother"
Xiao Wu walked in front of the burden on the ground, took out a cotton robe to help her father put it on, and tied the buckles one by one, knowing in her heart that this might be the last thing she could do for her father.
Zhen Guang was already in tears, he had made up his mind not to gamble anymore, and chopped off two of his fingers to show his loyalty, but he still rushed to the gambling table while begging for food, and owed a large amount of gambling debts.
Knowing that he was terminally ill, Zhen Guang wanted to spend a short time peacefully, and didn't want to drag down his hard-working daughter anymore, but in the end, he not only dragged her down, but also pushed her into the abyss of no return.
Zhen Guang sold himself as a slave, knowing that slaves were in the master's house, they were not treated as human beings, and they were not even as good as animals.
Half a year ago, it was Xiao Wu who ransomed the slave for him and let him end his humiliating days, but now, his daughter is dragged down by herself and sold herself as a slave, who will redeem her in the future?
When a bird is dying, its song is mourning, and when a man is dying, his words are good.
After all, it is a close relative whose blood is thicker than water, Zhen Guang, who has been a bastard all his life, in the last days of his life, he finally found some humanity, he couldn't bear to look at his own flesh and blood, and sold himself as a slave, he howled and cried, crying that his liver and intestines were broken, like a cuckoo crying blood.
Zhen Guang was in a hurry, and a mouthful of blood spurted out like a fountain, provoking the people who were splashed to keep chattering and scolding, and the snow was dyed red.
"Daddy!"
Seeing her father vomiting blood, Xiao Wu screamed and threw herself over, bursting into tears, she was really scared, her mother vomited blood and died, and her father also vomited blood, do you want to leave herself?
The strong man who injured his wrist forcibly brought pen and ink and silk silk from a bookstall and threw them in front of Xiao Wu with resentment, urging in a rough voice, "Here you go, write quickly!"
Zhen Guang burst into tears, grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, and didn't let her write, "Xiao Wu, don't write, cough cough...... I can't write it."
wiped the blood on Zhen Guang's mouth with his sleeve, and seeing that his father's ears were red and swollen from the cold, Xiao Wu took off his scarf, put it on his father's head, and comforted him in a deep voice.
"Dad, don't cry, it's all ...... Xiao Wu's life, I will never watch it, my father was beaten to death"
Zhen Guang cried, "Oh my God, don't treat me like this, my daughter, ahh......hhh
Wiping away her tears with her cuffs, and sweeping the snow off the ground in front of her, Xiao Wu spread out a piece of silk, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote a deed to herself to sell herself into slavery.
Last time Sun Erniang came to the house to make trouble, Xiao Wu saw the deed that her father sold himself as a slave, so she knew how to write it.
The strong man with a broken wrist forced her father to sign and draw the stall, Xiao Wu sat on her knees in despair, not crying, not making trouble or even being sad, she knew that she was no longer qualified to marry her master, which was the biggest support in her heart.
Xiao Wu's spiritual world collapsed in an instant!
She is now a slave as lowly as a mule and horse, and Xiao Wu can hear the sound of her heart broken.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry Dad", Zhen Guang cried, and was held by the strong man, and pressed his handprint on the deed of sale.
Another strong man carried a knife and came over with a thick black fat man in a jujube red brocade suit, he pointed to Xiao Wu who was stunned and asked, "Third Master Zhai, it's this little girl, you see, how much is she worth?"
Zhai Sanye walked up to Xiao Wu, bent down and pinched her chin, looked at it carefully, and saw Xiao Wu gritting his teeth and glaring at him angrily, he was stunned for a moment, shook off his hand angrily, and pouted: "It's too small, it's too thin, it's worthless...... At most, twenty cents".
With dissatisfaction on his beard, he shook the deed of sale in his hand in front of Zhai Sanye, "What? so little? Her father owes us one hundred and twenty dollars, hey, look at it, this little girl may be literate and hyphenated, this deed of sale...... She wrote it herself."
The strong man who hurt his wrist looked at Xiao Wu, who was looking angrily, the little girl's eyes were like ice, black and bright, big and round, and they were really beautiful, so he hurriedly interjected, "Zhai Sanye, take a good look, this little girl is handsome enough, if you sell it to a flower house, you can't say that in the future, you will become an Oiran."
Don't have a deep meaning and look at Xiao Wu again, Zhai Sanye looked unwilling and reluctant to be embarrassed.
"Master Xiong, I just look, this little girl is okay, so she gave this price, think about it, which family is willing to buy such a small one?......? Since I can read and write, then for the sake of our brothers, for the sake of good cooperation in the future, I will add five more dollars, and I can't do more."
Looking angrily at the bearded Xiong Ye and Zhai Sanye, Xiao Wu didn't know how much he could sell, but twenty-five yuan was far from enough to pay off his father's debts, if he didn't pay off his debts, his father might have his arms or legs cut off, and that would still be a death.
"We can't get to that far, we can't!"
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
