"Don't want it? You have to accept it even if you don't want to." The manager gestured and had someone escort him to the front. He wiped the sweat off his face at the back and then hurried to catch up.
“No, I don’t want to be sold to a brothel, I want to go home, I want to go home…” He struggled and shouted, but he hadn’t eaten for several days, and his cultivation was sealed. He looked weak and was forced forward by two monks.
When he arrived at the venue in front, he was locked in an iron cage again. Besides him, there were five or six other boys about fifteen or sixteen years old in the cage. Their looks were better than those of ordinary boys. Moreover, they were all dressed up, wearing new clothes and looking neat and tidy.
He looked at the boys and couldn't help but look worried. Was he really going to be sold to those places
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he suddenly saw two familiar figures. When he saw them, he was immediately filled with joy. He grabbed the door of the iron cage with both hands and shouted to the outside: "Fengjiu! Fengjiu! Duan Ye, Duan Ye, save me, save me! I'm here, I'm here!"
The two who were talking seemed to have heard it inadvertently and looked back. When their eyes fell on the figure trapped in the iron cage, Duan Ye strode forward, while Feng Jiu slowed down a little.
"Xiaopang? Why are you here?" Duan Ye looked at the person trapped in the cage with surprise, as if he knew nothing, and asked in confusion and astonishment.
"Wow... Duan Ye, I was sold."
His eyes were red, and he looked at Fengjiu who was walking slowly: "Fengjiu, I shouldn't have run away. These people are not good people. They don't give me food to eat, and they make me do heavy work. Look, my hands are all blistered."
Feng Jiu stopped in front of the iron cage and looked at the boy who had become noticeably thinner and more haggard in the past few days. She asked with a smile, "Why didn't you tell them that you had money so that they could let you go?"
"I told them, but they didn't believe me." He said aggrievedly.
"Don't you have a certain level of cultivation to protect yourself? Why don't you run away?"
"I can't escape. My cultivation has been sealed." Seeing that he was smiling but there was no smile in his eyes, and that he didn't say he would save him, he couldn't help but feel scared.
"Fengjiu, you will save me, right?"
"Since you ran away, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Maybe you can escape with your own ability."
"No, I, I can't get out." He lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet his eyes: "Please save me! This is the only time. I won't rely on others to save me again. I will work hard to practice and become stronger."
"Have you listened?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I'll listen. I'll definitely listen." He nodded quickly.
"Not running away?" she asked again.
"I won't run away. I'll go wherever you tell me to go." He promised hurriedly.
Hearing this, she curled the corners of her lips and said, "Wait!" She turned and left, leaving Duan Ye alone there.
"Why are you still here? Are you looking for me?" Ning Lang asked Duan Ye who was standing outside.
Duan Ye glanced at him and said, "No, Fengjiu said that you don't need to look for it after you leave. I just heard that there is a local market here today, so I came to take a look."
Ning Lang was silent and lowered his head.
