The men who came in later slapped the man who pushed the door hard on the head, then snapped their fingers and came forward eagerly.
Lu Yunxi glanced at the group of men in front of her and tightened her grip slightly.
It seems that the original plan must be changed.
No one noticed the dagger flashing coldly in her sleeve.
However, before she could make a move, the unconscious girl suddenly woke up.
Both Lu Yunxi's side and the man who bought the person were stunned when they heard what the unconscious person said.
"My head hurts...where is this?" The little girl held her forehead and sat up with a frown. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and fumbled around nervously. "Oh no! I have to go to work today! I'm late! It's all over!"
"Go to work?" Lu Yunxi murmured in a low voice.
People here would say "going to work" or "on duty", but they would never say "going to work"... Is this a term unique to the Flower Continent?
Her eyes flashed, she put away the dagger, and went over to help the little girl up.
"Little sister, are you okay?"
The little girl was startled when she saw her: "Who are you?!"
When she noticed a large group of people in this dark room, she panicked: "Who are you?! Where is this place?! Am I not sleeping at home?!"
"Your family?" Several men couldn't help laughing when they heard the latter part. "Little girl, you have been sold to us by your family. From now on, you will be our village's daughter-in-law. You must serve us well in the future!"
"What?! My family sold me to you?!" The little girl was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her pupils were dizzy and even her hands were shaking slightly. "Impossible... My parents are so good to me! How could they sell me?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?! If you're still alive, why don't you get up quickly?" A man frowned. "Serve us well, and your life will be easier in the future!"
The little girl was completely stunned and looked up at him blankly.
Lu Yunxi narrowed his eyes.
She already had some guesses about the little girl's origins!
I just don’t know if this little girl just traveled through time or if her soul has returned to its original place as the artifact said before?
At this time.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?!" several men asked impatiently.
"Oh no, sir, the house in the middle of the village is on fire!" The lady who was in charge of distributing meals rushed in with a panic on her face.
The men were startled and rushed out immediately without bothering to argue with them.
The old lady looked at their backs as they rushed out, and a hint of coldness flashed in her lowered eyes.
She gave them a cold look and said, "Go away! If you don't want to suffer a fate worse than death, go behind the cliff. There are tigers there that can end your lives."
Lu Yunxi was a little surprised.
She originally thought that since this woman could walk freely in the village, she would not help them. But who knew... Don't think that this woman is trying to harm them. For ordinary people, life here might be worse than death!
After the old lady finished speaking, she lowered her head and went out to work again.
The remaining girls looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Sister Lu, should we listen to her?" Everyone looked at her.
The only person who wasn't in the right frame of mind finally came to his senses: "Wait! What's going on?! Explain to me clearly, what's going on?!"
As she said that, she got up and looked like she was about to rush out: "No, I must go home!"
"What's wrong with you?" The girls who came with her were shocked. "Didn't you say your family sold you?!"
Although the house was full of people who had been sold, it was still a chaotic situation for a while and some things were difficult to explain.
In the end, it was Lu Yunxi who stopped a few people and explained the matter in plain words that both parties could understand.
After hearing the whole story, the girl who seemed to have traveled through time suddenly became anxious: "How audacious! How dare they buy and sell people in broad daylight! Let's get out of here and call the police!"
"What to report?" The others were confused.
The little girl's lips trembled, and her eyes, which had been wandering around anxiously, finally settled down a little.
She looked at the non-modern clothes on the people around her, then looked at the same coarse linen clothes on herself, and finally realized something.
"Did I...travel through time?" she murmured softly, her lips trembling slightly.
The sound was so faint that no one around heard it except Lu Yunxi. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This guy had been awake for so long, and he finally found out!
Fortunately, the person who was with the little girl heard her talk about her family situation while they were in the carriage and briefly repeated it.
"Your name is Xiaoya. After your parents left home, your brother sold you."
"...Leaving home is a new life. From now on, you can call me Zhou Yu." After hearing about "her" past, she said reluctantly.
The group of people exchanged the information they knew and barely understood the current situation. Just as they were trying to plan what to do, they saw the people outside coming back.
When the old lady came in, she seemed to be surprised that they had not run away yet. Instead, she stayed where she was, frowning.
Because there were several men following them, the old lady didn't say anything and just silently distributed the food.
"Damn it! If I knew who was so stupid as to accidentally set the house on fire, I would beat him to death!" A man spat viciously.
