The little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looked very handsome, with pure bangs on her forehead and a simple whip combed behind her head. Her eyes were bright, as clear as an ice fountain under the winter sun, and her nose was erect, and her thin lips were like cherry blossoms. It was a fairy-looking face, and if she changed her clothes, she would be a cute little princess.

It's a pity that the little girl's family background is not good, her face and hands are covered with dust, and the cloth clothes on her body are not clean.

The little girl only looked at it when she smelled the fragrance on the side of the road, and at that time Lieyang had just finished eating the meatloaf, and at this moment she saw Lieyang find herself, she let out a soft "ah" in her mouth, and ran away with a red face and a bowed head.

Lieyang didn't know why, and he didn't care too much, so he settled the cost of the refreshments, and left the teahouse to wander around, while thinking about his future plans.

The Nine Turns Lotus Seed was obtained, but Feng Lao had no shadow, no matter how he shouted, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't have any reaction when he touched the Blood Drinking Knife with his soul power......

"You can only explore the dark sky first and see what happens. "Without the guidance of the old wind, the sun is not without decision, and after making up his mind, his mood is much brighter.

At this moment, an anxious voice of a middle-aged man came from the side of the road: "Boss Chen, you have also seen the appearance of my daughter, she can read and write, and her hands and feet are also diligent, how can she also get hardware?"

Another impatient voice snorted: "A maid is worth hardware, I will give you three and a half gold at most, if you don't sell it, you will find another house!"

The sun followed the prestige, it was a courtyard gate in a fork in the road, and there was a shrewd man dressed outside the courtyard standing in the door, and outside the door was a farmer.

The banker's expression was hesitant, and the fingers in his hands were pinched back and forth, as if he was calculating.

Lieyang only glanced at it, and knew that this was a gambler, and with a sneer in his heart, he was about to move forward. Just when I turned my eyes, I saw a woman with a sad expression in front of me, standing in front of the sugar cake shop in a daze.

A beautiful female voice came from inside: "Mother, mother, come and see, the pastries here are so fragrant! There are also nut cakes, that is, ...... The kind that our family ate for the New Year last year was bought here by my father, right?"

As soon as she asked, two lines of crystal tears immediately slipped down the woman's already miserable face.

But she was worried about being seen by her daughter, so she quickly turned her face, but happened to see Lieyang coming over. When the woman saw that he was magnificent, she timidly moved out of the way and wiped the corners of her eyes.

The sun was so powerful that he heard the bargaining in the alley continue.

The dealer pleaded: "Boss Chen, I often give you a short-term job, and I also believe in your character and admire you, so I am willing to send my daughter here." My daughter has also called you Uncle Chen a few times, so you should do it...... If I don't pay the debt, they will take my son away...... My daughter is here, and I can come and see it once in a while. ”

Boss Chen's face softened slightly, but he was not completely unsympathetic, sighed heavily, and reprimanded mercilessly: "You said that you are a mud leg, the mud can't support the wall, what are you betting on? Who can you bet on with your mourning star's face? If you lose your daughter today, what about tomorrow? Is it to sell your mother-in-law in order to keep your son?"

The dealer was already weak-hearted, and when he was scolded by Boss Chen, the soles of his feet suddenly became weak, and he knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "I don't dare anymore, if I gamble again, I will cut off my hand! Boss Chen, you can give a little more!"

Seeing him kneeling and crying like this, Boss Chen let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "I'll give you four gold, no matter how much you want, I won't be able to give it." ”

Lieyang took two steps forward and looked into the candy shop, where the little girl he had seen in the teahouse was looking at the delicate pastries on the container with eyes full of joy.

She's the kind of little girl who wants to give her all the good things after a few close looks.

Lieyang didn't know what was wrong, and looked at her in a daze, as if she was enchanted. Boss Chen's voice was caught in his ears: "Then it's decided, I'll go write the deed of sale now." ”

Boss Chen's voice was a little thief, as if he had made a lot of money. The little girl looks good, reads and is diligent, she happens to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and she happens to be sold to the Qinglou, maybe her worth can be doubled!

The dealer didn't understand the reason, and seemed to kowtow a few more times and thanked him repeatedly.

“......”

Lieyang didn't feel good in his heart, he didn't have contact with the people at the bottom, he always thought that he was very open, just kill the enemy and protect the country, but when he really witnessed such a thing, his chest was still suffocated.

At this moment, the woman at the door of the store wiped away her tears and walked a few steps.

"Auntie, what's your daughter's name?" Lieyang asked casually, it was said that it was rude to ask the girl's name like this, but his grade was obviously higher than that of the woman, so he asked.

"......" The woman was stunned, and sure enough, she didn't have the intention to resist, and bowed slightly and said, "If you go back to Gongzi, the little girl's surname is Gu, and she is called Gu Sanmei." ”

It's nice to listen to.

It is difficult for the sun to describe the inner thoughts clearly, and the feeling of a moment is probably "looking at the right eye". If you really comment on your appearance, temperament or something, Lu Yu may be 10,000 times stronger than Gu Sanmei.

But when Lieyang saw Lu Yu, his feelings were not so strong, maybe it was hostility to each other, which made Lieyang dare not think about it.

He hid his technique slightly, took out a stack of shining gold coins, handed them directly to the woman, and said a little domineeringly: "From now on, she is my person." ”

When the woman saw that he was so quick to let go, she did not dare not take it, and the stack of gold coins was very hand-broken, and when she counted them, there were as many as ten!

"This ......," the woman was shocked, "Childe, how can this be?"

Even if Gu Sanmei was really sold to Qinglou, it would be a price of seven or eight gold at most, and the woman would rather die than force her husband to come to Boss Chen, wanting Gu Sanmei to go to Chen's house to be a maid who sold herself.

I also inquired in advance, the son of the Chen family is sixteen years old, if the opportunity is right, with the appearance of Gu Sanmei, if she can become the concubine of the Chen family, it will be her creation.

The son in front of him made a shot of ten gold, which frightened the woman.

For low-level farmers, the family's expenses for the whole year are only one or two gold. Ten gold is enough for his family to pay off their debts and build a new house.

The woman looked carefully, and saw that Lieyang was tall, with a lofty appearance, and although he was dressed roughly, he had a sense of pride, and secretly wondered in her heart: The son in front of her, could it be that he is a spirit slayer?

There are many professions on the rivers and lakes, and soul slaying is one of the wealthiest among them.

Seeing that the woman was in a daze, Lieyang said with a warm smile: "Go and discuss with your husband, if it is too much, you can invite me to lunch, and it should be a gift for my daughter." ”

The four of them had a decent lunch in the town, and they didn't even need a hundred yuan, which was not much of an expense.

The woman snorted and trembled, reluctantly glanced at the girl inside, and hurriedly ran out.

The sun tilted his ears a little, and he could hear the conversation in the alley clearly-

"Old Gu, a son gave ten gold...... Like, it's a slayer. ”

"What, what? Ten gold, who!" This was Boss Chen's surprised voice, as if he was angry, but when he heard that it was Lord Slashing Spirit, he didn't say much.

Lao Gu was stunned, and said incoherently: "No, the price of the Qinglou is only eight gold, he ...... It's not going to be a liar, is it?"

The woman said hatefully, "That boy even gave the gold coins, you see." ”

“......”

Then there was the sound of counting gold coins, followed by a string of footsteps.

When the two couples rushed back to the candy shop, Lieyang was standing outside the door basking in the sun, probably because the woman said that she wanted to buy sugar cakes for Gu Sanmei, and the little girl had already picked some.

Lieyang was not arrogant, his hands stretched out three fingers, closed them in front of his chest, and bowed, which was a more common meeting etiquette in the Stardust Continent.

The couple hurriedly returned the salute, Lao Gu's expression was dull, and he muttered: "Son, you ...... What do you call it?"

"I ......" Lie Yang almost said his real name in passing, his brain turned, and he said with a calm expression, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Yang." ”

This name is not ten thousand but eight thousand on the Stardust Continent, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Oh, it turned out to be Li Gongzi. Lao Gu nodded and smiled, "Li Gongzi is a talent, young and golden, my third sister followed you, that is her blessing." ”

When he spoke, he didn't even glance into the shop, all he cared about was ten gold coins, although the girl was good, but it was far less than gold.

Besides, there are two sons at home, and it doesn't seem to be a problem without a daughter.

Seeing that Lao Gu was like this, Lieyang suddenly lost the mind to rub lunch, so he said, "You explain, I'll have something to do later." ”

The next scene is nothing more than the parting of the mother and daughter, and the woman can't help but cry sadly. Gu Sanmei seemed to have been prepared for a long time, but instead comforted her father.

Even if Lao Gu forgot his daughter when he got the gold, in the face of this situation, he cried with a sad face and said some emotional words.

A few minutes later, the family of three left the shop, and in the bluestone square, the winter sun was shining, and a little snow was falling, delicately dotting the street scene.

The assessment of the Spirit Slaying Guild began in the afternoon, and there were many people in the square, either dressed as elegant and handsome boys, or gangsterly man.

There are not a few young people like Lieyang.

"Li Gongzi ......" The woman's voice came from behind, Lie Yang turned around, and saw her holding Gu Sanmei's shoulders with both hands, her lowered face was full of reluctance and guilt, and she bit her lip, "Third sister, call Li Gongzi quickly." ”

Gu Sanmei held a small packet of sugar cakes in her hand, raised her gaze a little blankly, just distinguishing the outline of her eyebrows, and suddenly laughed: "You are Li Gongzi." ”

Lie Yang Wan'er nodded, his eyes were pure, even if she was allowed to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to be a maid, it would be better than being sold to the Qinglou.

Gu Sanmei pursed her lips and chuckled, but her jewel-like eyes still revealed a little hope: "Then Gongzi Li, can I still see my father and mother in the future?"

This one......

The scorching sun is uncertain, and the Yanguan to the valley must be diagonally across the entire Hetao Plain, which is hundreds of miles away. Although there are no bandits along the way, and there are very few blue wolf spies, for ordinary people, hundreds of miles often means goodbye.

He couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, so he said, "As long as you have a thought in your heart, you can see you again." ”

After saying that, Gu Sanmei hurriedly followed two steps, but when she heard the crying behind her, she couldn't help but look back, her father was holding a gold coin in his hand, and there was a bit of joy on his face.

The mother was cut off and cried bitterly.

Gu Sanmei bit her lip, glanced at the son who walked away, and then looked back at her father, as if she realized something, there was light in her eyes, but she was strong and did not cry.

"Father, mother, my daughter is gone. Gu Sanmei forced a smile, then knelt down on the bluestone square, and kowtowed a few times to her parents......
