Later she understood that it was a maid who told her!
In fact, the people in the room are not fighting, they are doing something very happy.
He also told her not to go to other people's doors and listen to these noises in the future.
She seemed to understand, but also understood a lot.
What it means is, don't pry into other people's secret happiness! It's their private matter!
As I was returning to the room, I bumped into a burly man with a scar at the corner of his eye that extended to his temple. He looked fierce when he glared at people. Moreover, the man was bald, which made him look out of place in an era when the whole country was wearing long hair.
She was knocked to the ground and landed hard on her butt.
Her butt hurts.
The man looked at her seriously for many times with a half-smile in his eyes, then he stroked his chin with a smile in his eyes, like a hunter staring at his prey, who would be unable to breathe as long as he was stared at.
"Interesting." He gave this comment and then strode away.
Ye Yao didn't understand why and felt that this person was more or less seriously ill!
The man went straight to the madam and sat in the reception room to negotiate the price: "I want the girl from Chunfeng Tower. Name your price!"
The madam knew he was not someone to be trifled with and smiled awkwardly, "What are you talking about? Which brothel has a four-year-old child entertaining customers? You must be joking!"
The bald man slammed his wine glass onto the table: "Does this mean you disagree?"
A sharp knife was unsheathed and placed against her neck. If she moved, the blade would cut her throat. "Which is faster, you calling for help or it cutting your throat?"
The madam didn't dare to move. She offered a price even lower than the market price: "Three cents, three cents and you can take her away!"
In order not to compromise, she had no choice but to ask for some money.
But if I ask for too much, what if the other party gets unhappy and kills me directly?
Three cents is her last dignity.
The man threw the money on the table and said, "Have someone throw that girl out. I'll take the others away in a moment."
The knife was against her throat, so of course she didn't dare to disobey.
He shouted outside and had someone pack up Ye Yao and throw him outside.
When Ye Yao was standing at the door feeling the cold wind, she clearly realized that she seemed to have been... abandoned again?
Forget it. I've been eating and living here for free for so long, and I've caused a lot of trouble to others.
Can't live here any longer.
As she started to walk away, the bald man came out of Chunfeng Tower. He handed her a candied haws. His voice was rough but gentle and slow, with rare patience: "This is for you. They don't want you anymore. Come with me."
Ye Yao felt that God must be very good to him, right?
It was just lost and then picked up again.
She nodded and took his hand: "Okay, let's go home."
Following the bald man, we walked towards the remote southern corner of the city. This place is famous for its concentration of large houses. The most important characteristic of the people living here is that their houses are super big and they are also very rich.
They came to a place called Anzhai. The front door was clean and the servants and maids were very respectful. They didn't even dare to breathe when they saw him!
The yard is decorated with rockery and water in an orderly manner, and there are even rare birds kept in cages.
It’s just… it’s so quiet, there’s no one else here except the servants.
She finished eating the last hawthorn.
The bald man pulled her to the secret door in the corner, and she suddenly felt something was wrong. This was definitely not a good place.
She smiled awkwardly and was about to break free from his hand and walk out: "I haven't told my aunt that I'm leaving yet, now I have to go back and tell her..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
The bald man opened the door, dragged her in and threw her in!
The bald man followed in. There was a bookshelf in front of a wall. He walked to the vase and pressed down the blue and white porcelain vase, and the wall was pushed open.
The attendant beside her tied her up and led her into a secret room leading to the underground.
The further down you go, the colder it gets and the louder the crying becomes.
The voices of girls and boys mixed together, and the crying continued.
A corner.
At the end of the stairs is a huge iron door, inside which is a secret room with no end in sight, divided into small compartments of different sizes.
All the girls and boys in the corner stopped crying the moment they saw the bald man.
Ye Yao understood.
He didn't just kidnap her, he kidnapped every child equally.
The follower opened the door and threw her into the group of children. The bald man glanced at her coldly, locked the door and left.
There were about 20 to 30 children gathered together. A girl of similar age, with timid eyes, came up to her. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes felt like silk, but they had been whipped into rags, revealing her red and swollen skin, which was oozing blood. She reminded Ye Yao in a low voice, "Agree to whatever he says, or you'll get beaten."
She showed her arms and stomach: "There are more on my back, but I can't see them. I just know it hurts."
Ye Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Can I see your back?"
The girl turned around and Ye Yao gently uncovered it.
The clothes were stuck to the torn flesh, and it hurt if I used even a little force.
She let out a cry of pain, and Ye Yao quickly stopped: "What did he ask you to promise?"
"He said he wanted to train us, and if we disagreed, we would die."
She understood that death meant never seeing her parents again.
And be buried in a pile of earth.
She doesn't want this.
So, she agreed.
At first, he was disobedient, and every whipping he received hurt him deep into his bones. His braid was stained with chili water, and it was a burning pain when he was whipped.
Dozens of children were gathered together, each with injuries.
Except for a few children who didn't resist at the beginning.
He sat in the corner with his eyes closed, his clothes were torn, but there was no scratch on his body.
The girl pointed to the corner and said, "He snatched those boys back from a bunch of exiled prisoners. I heard they were all children of high-ranking officials and nobles."
She had no recollection of ever having seen this person before.
I’ll ask my dad about it when I get back!
"My name is Zhong Ling, what's your name?"
"Ye Yao."
"I'm telling you, he'll come to interrogate you tonight. Don't be stubborn then. And dinner is just stale steamed bread. If that guy is in a good mood, he'll give us steamed bread. I don't know what he wants to train us for."
Ye Yao missed the white porridge and side dishes at Chunfeng Tower a little.
But her aunt didn't want her anymore, and she didn't know where to go.
"Zhong Ling, when he interrogated you, didn't he tell you how he was going to train you in the future?"
Zhong Ling leaned against the wall and shook her head. “I agreed after only a few beatings. He didn’t tell me.”
Even under whipping, he would not cry out to go home.
Beijing,
Ye Yao lay in bed as if asleep. The whole family was panicking and had already gone to ask for a private doctor. Su Rou's legs went weak: "I just treated Yaoyao, I didn't poison her!"
