Luo Fugui was standing on the street counting money. He dared to do so because he was too tall and no one dared to rob him. They could only watch from afar with drooling, not knowing that the bear was already too hungry to have much strength left.
This is a very common street scene. Begging is for survival, stealing is for survival, robbing is for survival, and of course, selling children is also for survival. People with dignity are basically starving to death. No one cares what you are doing.
Luo Fugui was easily satisfied. He was holding a few crumpled and dirty bills. His happiness was genuine. At the same time, his regret was genuine. There is a saying: You only know how to cherish after you lose something. Luo Fugui also felt this way. He did not expect that the wicked girl could be sold so easily, and he did not expect that she could be sold at such a good price. He could not understand. Are the people in the city blind? So he was very regretful: If time could go back, if the transaction could be repeated, Luo Fugui hoped that the price he offered would be five dollars, not two and a half dollars!
After counting the money, not a cent more or less, he looked up and found that the beggars across the street were staring at the money in his hand and drooling. Xiong was immediately unhappy. When he first came to the city, he was tricked by these so-called poor people. He wanted to show his power and curse their ancestors, but he blinked a few times and gave up because he suddenly thought of another problem. He said he would sell the girl without any preparation. He was so hungry that he was busy bargaining and counting the money. The meeting place afterward... was not decided? God!
…
The man who bought the girl was very happy, even excited, because the almanac said today was a good day, and it was true. The girl was not very pretty, but she was special no matter how you looked at her. Not only did she have a pair of big eyes that could speak, but even her crooked braids were different. She was wearing a tattered flowered shirt with patches on top of patches, but she still looked like a poor elf that had fallen into the mortal world.
What's more important is that it's only $2.50! The bear that sells the girl is a waste of money. Just based on the innocent and cute girl, she is a cash cow. Two dollars and five cents? It's a waste of money! It's strange that I'm not excited.
At this moment, Xiao Hongying was holding the corner of her new owner's clothes tightly, walking on the street, very obediently; her expression was aggrieved, sad, and pitiful; her mood... was furious! Mule, this shameless guy, sold it as soon as he said it would. When I saw the way he counted the money, I knew that he had forgotten the plan of the meeting place. The buyer gave the money and hurriedly took the person away, but he didn't react at all. Eating together in a restaurant afterwards? I'm not going to eat shit!
I had originally planned to find an opportunity to run after a few street corners, but now it seems that even if I run, I will still be hungry. Where can I find that mean bear? Xiao Hongying was hesitating whether to follow this master to his house, eat and drink enough before drawing the gun. Although it would be embarrassing to do so, she was really hungry.
I followed my master hesitantly all the way, and suddenly someone on the street shouted, "Stop!"
Looking up, I finally noticed this familiar street. Following the sound, I looked around and saw a two-story wooden building next to it. On the open door facing the street was a large plaque, "Chunxiu Building", with three large characters shining brightly. Under the plaque, a middle-aged woman leaned against the door frame, holding an expensive handkerchief, looking voluptuous and charming, with dark clouds on her rouge face, staring at Xiao Hongying. Who else could it be but Jin Chunxiu
At that moment, Xiao Hongying was a little confused and looked at Jin Chunxiu stupidly.
The buyer didn't understand why Jin Chunxiu stopped him from passing by, and greeted Jin Chunxiu in a frivolous way, but Jin Chunxiu's eyes never left Xiao Hongying, and she didn't communicate with him at all. Suddenly, she shouted at Xiao Hongying angrily: "Ungrateful little bitch!"
The buyer was a little confused by this. Seeing Jin Chunxiu and Xiao Hongying staring at each other, he quickly stepped in front of Xiao Hongying to block them. "Mother Jin, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? I was just wondering what you meant!"
"I... Hey? Did I provoke you?"
"Get out of the way! This is my girl!"
"Hey? Hey, hey? Do you have any sense? I just bought this!" As he said that, the buyer grabbed Xiao Hongying's sleeve and wanted to move forward.
"If you dare to lead her one more step, I will break your legs and make you crawl for the rest of your life!"
These words were spoken in a cold voice, and the buyer did not dare to move. Even though Jin Chunxiu was just a brothel owner, few people in the county dared to mess with this bitch. She was very powerful.
At this time, someone in the building saw Xiao Hongying on the street, pushed open the window on the second floor with a bang, leaned out of the window, waved his handkerchief and shouted with a smile: "Girl? Hey? It's a girl! Sisters, come and see..."
Xiao Hongying raised her little face towards the second-floor window and saw the girls greeting her enthusiastically. She could only scratch the back of her head awkwardly and responded with a grin.
Jin Chunxiu, who was leaning against the door frame, said again: "Did you see that? Do you think I am blackmailing you? Her deed is in my Chunxiu Building! Don't you believe it?" She shouted upstairs: "Throw down her sign!"
After a while, a girl came back to the second-floor window and threw down a sign.
The buyer hurriedly took it in his hand and looked at it. It was a unique and beautiful small rosewood plaque with exquisite lace carved on it and a small bright red flower knot hung on the top. Three words were clearly engraved on the plaque: Xiao Hongying.
He couldn't believe it and turned around blankly: "This... is you?"
"Hehehe... It seems so."
The buyer was disheveled in the sunlight, his heart seemed to be breaking into pieces. At this moment, the girl in front of him no longer had the innocence and sympathy she had just now. With this awkward and unscrupulous grin, it was impossible for her to be the same girl she was when he bought her. He was really blind!
He turned around and said to Jin Chunxiu: "I really bought this! I just spent a hundred dollars! You can't..."
"I don't care how much you spent. You should ask whoever you bought it from to pay you back. I'm already lucky enough that I don't ask you for compensation! Get lost!"
"Damn it! It turns out that Bear is also a human trafficker! I will never let him go!" The buyer didn't dare to act rudely to Jin Chunxiu, nor did he dare to touch the girl again. He had no choice but to direct his anger at the Bear who sold the girl. He left the exquisite sandalwood tag in his hand to Xiao Hongying and turned away angrily.
From beginning to end, Jin Chunxiu did not leave the threshold, still leaning against the door frame, looking coldly at Xiao Hongying who was standing a few meters away from the door: "Didn't you run away? Keep running, little hoof! I'm watching you run, there's no need to say goodbye."
Xiao Hongying tore at the corner of her own clothes, lowered her head slightly and smiled at Jin Chunxiu, saying shamelessly: "I'm hungry."
"Should!"
"I can't run anymore."
After staring coldly for more than ten seconds, Jin Chunxiu swung her handkerchief fiercely, turned around angrily and walked back to the building, shouting, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a meal!" Then she continued to curse herself, "A bunch of ungrateful people, none of them have a conscience! I would rather die than expect you to bury me..."
Xiao Hongying stepped over the threshold of Chunxiu Building and paused, leaning back to look at the street outside Chunxiu Building. The steamed bun shop was still there, and the steamers on the street were still steaming hot as before. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said coquettishly to the inside of the building: "Mother Jin, I want to eat meat buns."
The afternoon sun filled the streets. Not far from Chunxiu Building, the steamer was moved away, and a puff of white steam suddenly rose. The guy from the bun shop endured the heat and put the fragrant hot buns on a plate, then picked it up and ran to Chunxiu Building...
