Chapter 240 Little Butterfly
The fierce and resentful looks of the men on the ground were replaced by fear. How could they not know what Siming meant?
"We were wrong, please." They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him repeatedly, enduring the pain.
"Did you let them go when they begged you?" Siming's tone was as cold as a knife.
He looked at the soldiers beside him and saw the relieved expressions on their faces: "Take these people back, don't go the way you came."
"Yes." The soldier dragged a few people out of the yard.
The soldiers with good eyesight immediately cleaned up the dirt in the yard so as not to offend Sima Ming.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen heard the gunshot and looked at Adjutant Qi.
"Don't worry, the governor is very powerful." Adjutant Qi comforted the two children with a smile.
They waited in the car for a long time and saw Liao Kui coming out of the alley. He got into the car behind them in a hurry without saying anything to them.
"Didn't that uncle go in with Dad?" Juanjuan still had some impression of him.
"He may have gone to help the governor with something and will be back soon." Adjutant Qi also had doubts in his mind, but did not ask more questions.
Juanjuan saw a little butterfly flying out of the alley: "Little butterfly."
"Puff. Your dad is fine. I'm going to find a place with lots of flowers." The little butterfly circled around her.
"There is a place with many flowers outside the city!" Juanjuan said to it with a smile.
"Flutter. Really?" The little butterfly flapped its wings more happily.
"Really." Juanjuan nodded vigorously.
"Flutter. Thank you for telling me this. Goodbye!" The little butterfly flapped its wings and flew out of the city.
Juanjuan stretched out her little hand and waved goodbye to it: "Goodbye, little butterfly."
Si Jinchen watched the little butterfly fly away: "Is it leaving?"
"Yeah, yeah, the little butterfly is going to find a place with beautiful flowers." Juanjuan looked at the little butterfly that could no longer be seen.
"The little butterfly should be looking for delicious nectar." Adjutant Qi said with a smile.
The two children were a little bored and started playing games in the car again.
One person covers the other's ears and asks the other person to guess what he or she is saying.
Adjutant Qi thought it was fun and tried to guess along with the others.
The other party didn't make any sound, so you have to look at the lip shapes to guess what the other person said?
This is quite difficult. If you don’t know the other person very well, you need to observe very carefully just by looking at the lip shape.
But every time he and Juanjuan had to guess many times before they could get it right, but Si Jinchen could guess it right every time.
He didn't believe in evil and gave Si Jinchen some questions himself. He covered Si Jinchen's ears and moved his mouth to recite a series of sentences without making any sound.
"Today's lunch was braised eggplant, twice-cooked pork, and meat buns."
After he finished speaking, he let go of Si Jinchen's ear.
Juanjuan tilted her head and muttered for a long time without figuring out what he was saying.
"Today's lunch was braised eggplant, twice-cooked pork, and meat buns." Si Jinchen said, looking at Adjutant Qi: "Uncle Qi, am I right?"
Adjutant Qi's eyes widened: "Master, how did you know that?"
"I can tell from your lip shape!" Si Jinchen said with a smile.
Adjutant Qi gave him a thumbs up. Before the next round of the game started, Liao Kui, who had left earlier, drove back.
When he got off the car, a beautiful woman also got off.
Qian Qian?
How did she get here?
"She's a beautiful aunt." Juanjuan shouted out of the car window.
Liao Kui and Qian Qian glanced into the car, smiled and nodded at them, then hurried into the alley.
Adjutant Qi was a little confused as to why Qian Qian was called over, but he didn't ask any further questions.
When Siming saw Qian Qian arrive, he turned to look at Liao Kui and asked, "Have you explained the situation to her?"
"I've already told her on the way." Liao Kui replied.
"The child inside is in your care. We are just outside. Just tell me if you need anything." Si Ming looked at Qian Qian and gave a simple instruction.
Qian Qian nodded and walked into the closed door.
She had seen many such things, whether in the Qingyin small class or in the brothel.
But the people there have no choice: either they obey, or there are plenty of ways to torture them.
These children had long been numb and lay there as if they had lost consciousness, not caring at all about who came in.
"You are lucky. At least there is someone who can save you from this endless hell." She sat on the bed and looked at the lying child.
These children still did not react at all, and their eyes were unfocused.
"Let me tell you a story!" Qian Qian didn't care whether these children paid attention to her or not.
"In some brothels, there are many children like you. If they are obedient, their lives will be relatively easy. But if they are disobedient, even if they are good-looking, they will be blinded and become blind prostitutes."
"If you're average-looking and disobedient, they'll torture you until you obey. If you die, you'll be thrown into a mass grave on a straw mat."
"Do you know why?"
She didn't wait for the children to answer and continued, "If you can't see, you will be at their mercy."
"You are lucky. At least you have met a good warlord. Otherwise, you would have been sold into a brothel, and would never have had freedom again, nor would you have seen the light of day again."
The children's eyes moved and they turned to look at her: "Can we still survive?"
Qian Qian smiled and nodded: "Of course, I am also very lucky to have met him. He gave me and my brother a second life."
"I don't care where I was before. The only difference between me and you is that I went to a brothel of my own free will. I thought I would spend my whole life there."
"But God has been kind to me, allowing me to be reborn and to be with my family. That's enough."
Tears streamed down the children's eyes: "We, we don't remember where home is."
"It doesn't matter. If you like, you can live with me in the charity hall in the future. There you can learn to read and write, and learn a craft."
"When you turn sixteen, you can support yourself with your own skills and live well without relying on anyone."
This is the case with Qian Qian now. She is working hard to learn to read and write in the charity hall. Her younger brother now recognizes her and has very good knitting skills.
Now she can take on work from the bamboo weaving shop, and she can also do some embroidery orders from tailor shops.
Although they still live in the charity, they no longer need the charity to support them. They still pay some living expenses to the charity every month.
They wanted to use their insignificant power to improve the lives of other people in the charity hall and repay the governor for his kindness to them.
"Sister, will they look down on us?" The group of children were scared and terrified.
"No, the people inside are very nice, they are all very kind." Qian Qian touched their heads.
