Chapter 16 Suffering Sisters

"Dad, please don't buy Yinping and me in a brothel..."

Mu Guiying's heart moved when she saw a group of people in front of her. After approaching, Mu Guiying was immediately furious when she heard the crying from inside. Unexpectedly, Jin Ping and Yin Ping's father would sell his daughter to the brothel. At the same time, Mu Guiying hated the originator of this incident.

On the periphery of the crowd, Mu Guiying turned around a few times and finally looked at the strict Taoist priest in a corner. At this time, he was looking at the family of three at the gate of the brothel, secretly smiling proudly. Mu Guiying was so angry that she didn't even think about it. Relying that she was still young, she squeezed close to the crowd and came to the 'circle'.

The onlookers gathered four people in a semicircle in front of the door of a brothel. One of them was a middle-aged man in coarse linen. He looked blankly at the two little girls kneeling in front of him. The two little girls were only about eleven or two years old, pulling the corners of the middle-aged man's trousers with tears on their faces and pleading in a low voice. On the other side is a woman with flowers and a pale face that can't be seen how old she is.

The woman was looking at this side impatiently, pinching her waist in one hand and screamingly, "I tell you, if you sell it, it will be 500 yuan. If you don't sell it, just leave quickly. Don't block my guests. Humph, don't ask who dares to take in these 'hard' sisters..."

Hearing the woman's last muttering, the middle-aged man's hesitant face suddenly became firm. As soon as he closed his eyes and turned his head, he pushed away the two sisters away and said in a hoarse voice, "500 yuan is 500 yuan. I, I sold it."

"Daddy..."

When the two sisters heard this, they immediately cried and hugged each other. The people present were all wronged and began to point out, and some began to blame the middle-aged man and the woman. The middle-aged man was still a little ashamed, but the woman stared and cursed with her hands.

"Shut up. If you have the ability, you can buy these sisters, which will also make me look up. Why don't you say it? Say, one by one pretends to be a saint, and you dare to accuse me without that ability. A bunch of cowardly..."

Mu Guiying heard the woman open her mouth and keep saying that she could be for a quarter of an hour. She didn't stop and didn't repeat it. She really sighed in her heart. Seeing that these people no longer muttered and some slowly withdrew from the crowd, Mu Guiying shook her head secretly.

When he saw that the strict Taoist priest began to walk over, Mu Guiying immediately turned around, strode forward, stared at the middle-aged man, and asked loudly, "This uncle, they are your own flesh and blood, your relatives. Are you really going to sell your daughter?

Mu Guiying was taught by the Virgin of Lishan and had a special momentum when she was serious. The middle-aged man was a farmer who had never seen anything in the world. When he had seen such a terrible look, he replied honestly for a moment: "Yes, I really want to sell them."

"Well, I bought it." Mu Guiying suddenly smiled, with a pure expression and sadness in her heart, but her tone remained unchanged and said, "I will pay two taels of silver--"

Hearing Mu Guiying's bid, the people present immediately took a breath of cold air. Two taels of silver can be exchanged for 2,000 to 2,000 yuan, which is a great wealth for a farmer who makes a living. What's more surprising is that the person who said this was actually a young woman.

Suddenly, Mu Guiying became the focus of the crowd, and the sisters who had already 'recognized their fate' and sat aside also looked at her in horror. The middle-aged man and the flowery woman opened their eyes wide and stared at Mu Guiying in disbelief.

"Little lady, I have to say a few words to you. These sisters have been criticized by the master, and I believe you should have heard of them. Also, little lady, you are so young that you don't have family company, so don't talk big.

After listening to the woman's words, some people nodded and thought that Mu Guiying might sympathize with the suffering of the sisters and came out on impulse. However, some insightful people see that although Mu Guiying is small, her words and deeds are quite demeanor, and they should not be nonsense. In a word, the onlookers began to whisper. And the parents of the sisters also hesitated a little. From time to time, she looked back at the woman, but she smiled proudly.

Although Mu Guiying did not deliberately go to see the strict Taoist priest, he also secretly paid attention to him. From the end of the light, Mu Guiying looked a little anxious when she saw the strict Taoist priest at the beginning, but after the woman finished speaking, she relaxed. She knew in her heart that the two should be colluding.

At this time, Mu Guiying quickly walked to him and shook his hand in front of his eyes. The middle-aged man's face changed, and his eyes were full of surprise, staring at Mu Guiying's hand. The woman stood behind the middle-aged man and saw what was in Mu Guiying's hand, and her face suddenly changed. After that, he began to look at the strict Taoist priest frequently.

Mu Guiying lowered her head and smiled, thinking, fortunately, she wrapped the coil around her body. Then, he raised his head, looked at the woman, and smiled, "This lady, I have already sold two taels of silver. If you don't bid anymore, then I'll take the sisters away."

"Little lady, haven't you heard that Taoist people have counted their fate for these sisters? Their lives are very hard and can bring bad luck to those close to them. Are you sure..."

"Since the lives of these sisters are so bad, why did you buy them?"

When the woman with flower branches saw Mu Guiying approaching the sisters, she also hurried forward a few steps to stand in front of Mu Guiying. Smelling the choking smell of inferior rouge gouache on the woman, Mu Guiying had to take a few steps back. But when the woman couldn't wait to finish speaking, Mu Guiying curled the corners of her mouth and blocked the woman's question.

After a long time, the woman muttered, "I am a brothel here, and all the guests are here. Naturally, the guests are 'noble', and those 'nobleness' can naturally suppress the 'millus' on their bodies. Moreover, they don't have to do any heavy work here. They eat well and dress well. Little lady, it's not difficult for you to take them with you. Things are not going well and you are haunted with bad luck?

Mu Guiying narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That's just right. This wife may not know that when I was born, I was counted by Ren Dao'an, a famous master of Song Dynasty. He said that I was blessed and had a lot of trouble in my life. However, the Taoist priest also said that life is too easy to attract God's jealousy. It's better to find a bad person to follow me so that I can live a long life. It's my blessing to meet these sisters today. For me to live a long life, I must buy these sisters.

Huh, strange things happen every year, and there are a lot of them this year. I often hear that people with a good life should prosper themselves, but I have never heard that people with a bad life have to follow. However, it should not be wrong that the famous Taoist priest Ren personally criticized his life. Although the onlookers affirmed Mu Guiying's words, they always felt strange.

The woman's eyes were also a little flustered when she saw Mu Guiying's 'soft and hard food'. As if she had been instructed by Yan Taoist priest, the woman turned to the sisters and said affectionately, "Jin Ping, Yin Ping, you can think of it. It's delicious and easy to live here. I miss your father, and I can secretly go back to have a look. Moreover, we are all villagers, and aunts can't lose you. However, if I leave with that little woman, I don't know what will happen. She is a stranger passing by. Who knows if she really took you away.

The woman's voice became lower and lower, and when she said the last sentence, it was like whispering to the sisters. However, who is Mu Guiying? Over the years, her earpower has been quite good. So when I heard the last sentence, I couldn't help smiling at Yin Ping.

"Uncle, I have the money. Tell me whether you sell it to me or her. It's getting late. I want to go back to the inn to have a rest.

"I'll sell it to you."

The middle-aged man's eyes were still staring at Mu Guiying's hand, as if he was afraid that Mu Guiying would repent, and immediately handed over the 'deed of sale'. Looking at the middle-aged man with money in his eyes, Mu Guiying couldn't wait to slap him twice. However, seeing the pitiful eyes of the sisters, Mu Guiying handed over the two ingots and one taels of silver in her hand.

"Uncle, one hand money, one hand contract. From now on, Jinping and Yinping have nothing to do with you.

"I know, I know. From now on, I don't have these two daughters. I can do whatever the little wife does.

The middle-aged man carefully put away the silver ingot, bowed himself and said a few words humbly, and walked out of the crowd without looking back. He didn't look at the behavior of the sisters, which completely broke their hearts. Jin Ping's eyes were full of despair, and Yin Ping cried in her sister's arms.

"This lady, if you don't want to raise the price, I'll take them away?"

"Let's go, go, don't block my distinguished guests."

The woman was so angry that she suddenly straightened up, didn't look at the Taoist priest, and turned into the brothel. In fact, she was very disgrave and helpless. She was angry that she didn't get the job and couldn't get the money. But Mu Guiying couldn't help it. The money paid by Mu Guiying was high in the whole Song Dynasty. No brothel will spend so much money to buy two little girl.

The departure of the middle-aged man and the 'defeat' of the woman made the onlookers lose their 'watch' and began to slowly disperse. Mu Guiying didn't care about these, but walked to the two sisters and slowly squatted down. She smiled when she saw that Jin Ping's eyes slowly became a little bright.

"If you don't want to come with me, I can let you go home. Of course, don't worry, I won't take the money either."

Jin Ping and Yin Ping suddenly became happy, but slowly Jin Ping's expression faded and whispered, "What if we go back, we will still be sold by our father."

Listening to Jin Ping's helplessness, Yin Ping also put away her happiness and lowered her head sadly. Mu Guiying sighed gently and said, "Then follow me first. Just tell me when you want to come back."

While the two sisters nodded, Mu Guiying found that Yan Taoist priest was still in the dark and did not leave. She said, "Well, let's go back to the inn first and leave early tomorrow morning..."
