[Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (21)]
"My benefactor!" A hint of surprise appeared on the girl's tear-stained face. She then lowered her head and cried softly, but she no longer kept asking for help like before.
Yan Qing did not miss the flash of shame on her face.
She was the girl that Xu Wenjian rescued from Xie Fengchun, who had a special fetish, on the street.
Xu Wenzhang thought that it was the money he gave her that brought her trouble, so he jumped off his horse, helped her up, and took a few steps away from her: "What's going on?"
The girl just kept crying.
Yan Qing also got off the horse and stood beside Xu Wenzhang, looking at the purple marks revealed under her messy clothes.
Two men, one tall and one short, caught up with him.
Seeing that both of them were dressed gorgeously and had extraordinary demeanor, the two looked at each other and put away the contempt on their faces.
The tall and thin man stepped forward and bowed, "This girl was given to my brother and me by her father as payment for a debt. She has a contract to sell her. Please do not interfere."
He took out a piece of deed paper with black writing on a white background from the purse hanging at his waist and shook it.
Another short and fat accomplice dragged the girl over, and his lustful eyes wandered between Yan Qing and Xu Wen Zhang: "If you also like her, it won't hurt to give you a little pleasure."
"As long as the money is in place, you can take her away." He pulled the girl's clothes down, revealing half of her shoulders. "Don't be fooled by her thinness, she tastes good. I guarantee you'll want to try more after you try her."
"It was her own father who specially invited my brother and me to stay overnight and sent her to bed to serve her."
He licked his lips obscenely, recalling the taste of last night.
The girl trembled with fear and looked at Yan Qing and Xu Wenzhang expectantly.
I hope the two of them can buy her.
"Save me, save me... I am willing to be a slave, to work like an ox or a horse..." She rushed forward and knelt in front of Yan Qing.
Yan Qing sneered: "Isn't this the path you chose yourself?"
If Xu Wenjian had not taken action at the time, there would have been only two possible outcomes for her.
Either she was sold to a brothel by her gambling addict father, or she was bought and raped by Xie Fengchun.
Even though she knew she would be sold if she returned home, she still chose to take the money and go back.
The girl collapsed to the ground in despair, looking for help at Xu Wenjian, who was standing beside her with a sword in his arms.
However, Xu Wenzhang looked at Yan Qing as if she was the backbone.
"No one can be saved forever." Yan Qing stepped on the stirrup and climbed onto the horse, his cold eyes swept towards Xu Wenjian, "Why don't you leave? Do you want to buy a maid to serve you?"
Even if they paid to buy her this time, she would most likely run back home.
Then she was sold at a low price by her gambling father.
Xu Wenjian put the sword back on his waist and jumped on his horse: "I don't want to do thankless tasks."
Glancing at the person next to him, he always had a feeling that his master's wife was planning something.
"Bitch, you'd better be obedient. No one can save you." The short and fat man kicked the girl.
Yan Qing pulled the reins hard, turned the horse's head and moved closer, but the raised horse hooves scared him so much that he took several steps back.
The thin man hurried to help his brother and looked at her sinisterly: "We are the people of the Feng family, the imperial merchant, who were personally appointed by His Majesty. Young man, you'd better think about it."
"How could the Feng family have parasites like you?" Yan Qing's face was as cold as ice.
The shop her mother gave her had nothing to do with gambling.
Either someone is taking advantage of the power of others, or he is deliberately trying to take advantage of others.
Judging from the man's confident look, it's clear that the former is more likely.
She took off the dagger from her waist and threw it in front of the girl: "Your destiny is in your own hands."
"Gee!" The black horse kicked up its hooves, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Xu Wenzhang glanced at the girl who picked up the dagger, then followed her and whipped his horse.
"Do you think you can fight against the two of us with just a weapon?" The short and fat man laughed.
The tall and thin accomplice picked up a whip beside him and swung it at her, avoiding her face: "Throw the dagger over here, and we will take good care of you from now on."
He had a gloomy face and thought it was not a bad idea to keep such a woman as a plaything.
"Brother, didn't we agree to sell her to a brothel? I'm waiting to use this money to have some fun with the courtesan."
The girl lowered her head and held the dagger tightly.
"Okay." She raised her head and smiled weakly, then she walked forward with the dagger in her hand, and when the short and fat man showed a smug look on his face, she stabbed the knife into his body with her backhand.
"Brother, kill her, kill her!" The man dodged and was not hurt, but the dagger was sharp and it pierced into his flesh, causing his fat body to twitch in pain.
Another man lashed out with a whip.
The girl didn't dodge after being hit by several whips. She grabbed the dagger tightly and pounced on him like a mad beast: "Kill you! Kill you all!"
Her angry eyes were scarlet and bloodshot, and she growled through her gnashing teeth.
"Crazy! Crazy!" The two men worked together to knock her weapon away and pushed her to the ground.
She rolled over a few times, her ears filled with the man's dirty words, which then turned into a buzzing roar.
Just when she was in deep despair, the two men who were walking towards her with grim smiles and clenched fists suddenly fell down.
Two pieces of silver rolled off them.
She heard the horses neighing and the clatter of their hooves.
The girl took this opportunity to pick up the dagger on the ground, sat on the tall and thin man, and stabbed him with the knife while roaring.
The accomplice who was hit in the bloody area nearby and recovered a little tried to run, but was stabbed in the eye by her while she was covered in blood.
One, two, three...
She recalled how her father dragged her out and sold her at a low price time and time again, how he beat her when she was drunk, and how powerless she felt when she struggled under two men last night...
"That's your father."
"Filial piety is greater than heaven."
"You're not a boy."
The sighs of my cowardly mother are still ringing in my ears.
She remembered a lot...
The last time she ran back, she thought that bringing the money would make her father happy and he would not look down on her, but she got the same result.
As a daughter, should she be sold cheaply by her father?
Now that her innocence has been ruined, should she take the initiative to jump into the river?
No, she wanted to live.
She just wants to live.
Holding the dagger, she stabbed the two dead men a few more times, then staggered a few steps and turned back.
She took out the indentures from the two people, tore them apart and stuffed them into her mouth to eat. After putting the purse in her arms, she knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction where Yan Qing and Xu Wenxuan left.
Then he ran into the woods in the opposite direction.
There is only one belief supporting my mind.
She wants to live.
Yan Qing and Xu Wenzhang, who turned their horses around and left again, slowed down and rode leisurely on the country road.
Xu Wen Zhang kept staring at the person beside him.
"Is there something on my face?" Yan Qing glanced at him.
He smiled brightly: "Master's wife is the most beautiful flower."
He changed the subject, blinked and spoke again, "I thought..."
"Do you think I'm cold-hearted and will just stand by and watch?" Yan Qingyou looked ahead.
Xu Wenzhang's eyes were blazing: "How could it be."
It's clear that he is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
"Was Aqing really angry before?" he asked again.
"So what if I'm angry? The fault is not her for not daring to resist, but this world that oppresses and exploits women and has distorted values."
Yan Qing chuckled, swung the reins, and kicked the horse's belly to speed up.
That girl is just one of the millions of persecuted women.
It is this dark age that needs to change.
"Ah Qing, wait for me~"
"You don't respect your teachers and elders, and you have no respect for your elders."
"It was Ah Qing himself who said there is no mistress here."
"That's not a reason for you to call yourself a master in front of me."
"My Lord is wrong~"
