Si Jinxing took two steps back, and when he saw the thing clearly, he was suddenly shocked!
What heavy object is that?
It's clearly a child of seven or eight years old!
I saw that the child's dirty clothes were torn in several places!
On the exposed skin, there were bloody marks, as if caused by a whip.
The child curled up on the ground, with most of his face covered by messy hair!
All I saw was that his lips were very dry and cracked, with a stream of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth!
Immediately afterwards, a burly man rushed towards this side angrily.
He held a nine-section whip in his hand, which dragged on the wooden boards of the cabin, making a hissing sound.
The child curled up on the ground seemed to hear the sound, and he shuddered a few times and subconsciously wanted to escape!
But he tried very hard, and before he could move two steps, he was blocked by the aggressive man!
The man had a pair of narrow and long eyes on his big round face full of flesh, which looked very funny!
After he stood still, he first glanced at the women in the aisle with a sly look, then raised his chin and cursed:
"Well, you little bastard, let's see where you can run to?
How dare you play dirty tricks on me!"
As he spoke, he kicked the child!
The child was kicked so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He then begged for mercy in a choked voice:
"Boss, spare my life!"
Although the voice was subtle, Si Jinxing could tell that the child was actually a girl.
Hearing the little girl's plea for mercy, the strong man snorted coldly:
"It's your honor that the guest takes a liking to you and takes you out for a delicious meal!
How dare you bite the guests with your mouth!
You little bastard, you eat and drink my food, and now you want me to compensate that customer!
If you beg for mercy now, who would dare to buy it?
I'm going to beat you to death today and throw you into the river to feed the fish, so I can save some food!"
Si Jinxing stood aside, glanced at the woman in red through the veil of her hat, and prepared to go back.
But just as she raised her foot, someone grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Si Jinxing lowered her eyes and saw the thin little girl struggling to raise her head.
I saw her dirty face and a pair of shiny black eyes filled with a desire to survive.
She opened her mouth, and two streaks of blood oozed from her cracked lips. She spoke softly:
"Please...Miss, save me."
Qing Chan gently pulled the hem of her princess's skirt out of the little girl's hands and explained:
“Little sister, it’s not that we girls don’t want to save you.
But our girl is also a child without a father or a mother.
Now she has to rely on relatives and make a living under their roof, how can she save you?"
As soon as Qing Chan finished speaking, the fierce man snorted coldly and said:
"Oh, you can afford a personal maid, but you can't afford a child?
Who are you fooling?
You are so heartless to see such a young child suffer, and you still have to make excuses for yourself?
The world is so fickle! "
At some point, a lot of people gathered in the corridor to watch the fun.
After hearing what the man said, they all pointed at Si Jinxing and the other two.
"She's quite a young girl, yet she's so cold and indifferent!"
"Look at the clothes they are wearing, they are not poor.
It's just a child, it doesn't cost much!"
"That's right!
At worst, I can sell the girl next to her, but I have to save this child!"
Si Jinxing was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard what these people said!
They are a bunch of people who talk without thinking, so hypocritical!
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy the little girl, but her status is special and she is afraid of bringing trouble to the child.
Si Jinxing thought about asking Li or other common people to come forward and take care of the matter.
But these people, one after another, pointed their fingers at her!
She chuckled, looked at the fierce man holding the seven-section whip, and said:
"Shopkeeper, since you are not a heartless person, why did you hurt her so much?
Now you turn around and blame me?
I'm not your mother, why should I clean up your mess?!"
When the fierce man heard this, his face instantly darkened and he glared at him with a distorted look!
He shouted loudly and was about to swing the whip in his hand towards her!
Can.....
Only then did he realize that no matter how hard he tried, his limbs could not move!
The fierce man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead and flowed down his cheeks!
Who could have done this to him without him knowing?
After hearing his angry shout, Si Jinxing said lightly:
"Stop making noise!"
She turned her head and looked at the middle-aged woman with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks not far away.
Si Jinxing said slowly:
"Since it doesn't cost much, I'll let you buy it!
Saving a life is a merit better than building a seven-story pagoda. Your trip to the human world was not in vain!"
When the woman heard this, she was a little confused!
She thought for a moment before she realized that the girl was cursing her!
If we save that little girl, it means that her life in this world is not in vain!
If I don't save her, she'll go to hell!
She was so angry that her triangular eyes widened. She was about to yell at the girl when she saw that she wasn't even looking at her!
She was so angry that she spat in the middle of the aisle and said, "What the hell!"
Si Jinxing turned around again, looked at the pot-bellied man, and said:
"Looking at how plump and powerful you are, you must be a kind-hearted and generous person!"
When the man heard this, he thought, "Oh, that young lady is praising herself!"
He was just raising his chin and putting on a smile, trying to be modest, when he heard the girl say:
"In that case, you should take this little girl in as your goddaughter!
He hired a teacher for her to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and trained her to become a lady from a noble family.
When she reaches the age of 15, he will prepare a grand wedding for her and send her off in a grand ceremony!
Wouldn't your title of a great benefactor be known throughout Jianghuai?"
When the man heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared!
It only costs about ten taels of silver to buy a little girl, so why do I have to ask a teacher to teach me, follow the rules, and give a dowry of ten miles?
He suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and shouted with a sullen face:
"What do you mean by that?
It was clearly this little girl who asked you to save her, what does this have to do with us?"
When Si Jinxing heard this, she giggled.
The laughter was clear and pleasant, as if someone had heard something funny.
As soon as the laughter died down, she began to speak:
"So, whether I save you or not, what does it have to do with you?
What? Did I eat your rice or drink your water?
I advise you to mind your own business, or you might end up being treated like a dog by accident!"
