Chapter 51 Zaocheng (1st update)
The second year of high school said hurriedly:
“Pinggu’s parents not only found a brothel, but also a matchmaker, hoping to marry Pinggu to a wealthy family. To be a concubine, to a wealthy family The mistress of the house is notoriously cruel in Anping County. How can she be a concubine in his house? Her parents are still thinking of raising the price to see if they can earn more by selling to a brothel or joining a wealthy family. Don't worry about it. Where to go? Aunt Ping knows that her parents only No matter how much money there is, he will never consider her life or death."
Xu Da added:
"Pinggu's parents kept it secret from Pinggu at first. They knew Pinggu's temperament. Lie, and also afraid that Pinggu will give birth to someone unexpectedly. But Ping Gu was not stupid. Seeing strangers coming and going in and out of the house every day, she became interested in eavesdropping. Then she thought about escaping, but she was caught by her brother, who beat her hard and left her hungry. For several days.”
"Isn't she hot-tempered? How could she be beaten honestly?" Wu Chen asked.
"Her family naturally knew her temper, so after they caught her, she was tied up. First, her brother whipped her with a whip, trying to make her obedient and accept the family's arrangements. She was tough, her brother got tired of being beaten, and her father was beaten. Anyway, the family kept beating her, and Aunt Ping wanted to die, but she refused to give in. Later, when the whole family got tired of beating her, they started to starve Aunt Ping." Xu Da said.
Wu Chen was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said:
“Looking at it this way, we really can’t handle this matter simply. I originally wanted to spend some money to buy Ping Gu out. Find her a good family to marry when she gets to Kyoto. If a woman wants to live on her own... it's as hard as going to heaven. Now it seems that her parents who have fallen in love with money need to be taught a lesson. Fortunately, she met us. This matter It can't be so cheap anymore Her parents..."
"That's the truth!" The sophomore in high school became excited: "I have already thought about how many times they whipped Aunt Ping, and I will give it back twice as much. They are hungry. A few meals, double the money back! You still want the money? I will find out all the money in his house and give it to Aunt Ping, and then ask her parents to sign and sell Aunt Ping to Brother Wu Chen without taking any money..."
"Why me?" Wu Chen asked with wide eyes.
"Who are you if you are not? Are you safe selling it to others? Once the deed of sale is signed, you can just burn it in front of Pinggu. If it is placed in the hands of others, it may not happen "Burned."
"How did you know that I would definitely burn?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.
Xu Dashi said: "If you don't burn it, you can move into the room. Aunt Ping's temper is a little bad, but her appearance is acceptable."
"Is it acceptable? I think it's just like the Yanbin Building in Kyoto. The Cuilian in the school can compare." The second grade student said.
Wu Chen scratched his forehead and said: "Let's finish tonight's errands first. We don't know whether we can return to Kyoto alive. What's the point of saying that we don't have them? While you can still be alive, help one by one, and don't do anything else. Don’t think about the good things for now.”
The sophomore sighed and said, “I don’t know how many there are in the col... right, if I can’t let them go tonight. It’s clean. Where can we find these ghosts outside tomorrow?”
Wu Chen also sighed and said, “This is what I’m most worried about right now. The Secretary said that if we can’t find them, we’ll kill them all.”
Both the second grader and Xu Da took a breath, and Xu Da said softly: "Sir Zun can do it."
The second grader nodded.
The three of them stopped talking.
After a while, Wu Chen said: "I will fall to the ground in pain in a while, so don't panic,"
......
It's almost midnight At that time, Wu Chen walked near the entrance of the mountain col and helped the ghosts who came one after another guide the way. By the way, he explained that their wishes were in the process of verification and the results would be available tomorrow.
Wu Chen hoped that these ghosts tonight would not be the same as last time. He got excited and entered the beam, leaving some behind for use tomorrow night.
The ghosts floated in twos and threes in the direction pointed by Wu Chen. When they were almost done, Wu Chen found a flatter place and prepared to fall down. He regretted not bringing a mattress, and also regretted not asking Lao Hei carefully why. Every time a ghost enters the beam, his whole body will hurt, and then his strength will increase. What's the use of giving him so much strength?
Wu Chen was just thinking, when the light beam appeared, and then he fell to the ground in pain...
...
Wu Chen didn't know how long it took, the light beam disappeared, and he The pain in his body slowly faded away, and he stood up again. He turned around and saw that the sophomore and Xu Da were chatting happily.
“I’ll go into the col to have a look.”
Wu Chen patted the dust on his body and strode towards the col.
This time he still didn't close his eyes, but still lowered his head. Wu Chen walked in and asked: "How much did you walk today?"
The old voice sounded: "More than yesterday, I It seems that the exit was opened twice and is no longer secure. It was only closed again when it was almost daylight."
"Oh? Let's go back tomorrow night and see if it's possible. The exit will appear without rushing," Wu Chen said excitedly.
“Doll, you only want things underground?”
"Whatever I want, it's not my turn to want it. I'm just running an errand. I can't bear to see you trapped here. I'll help you if you can."
Wu Chen said sincerely, The old voice smiled: "That's because you don't know what is hidden underground."
"You know, the gold, silver and jewelry that Qi Xuan collected back then are of no use to me."
The old voice asked hurriedly: "Don't you want it? Or you don't dare to want it?"
"I don't want to, I don't dare, and I can't! How many lives may have been lost for this money? It’s not necessary. We have agreed that if the exit appears naturally tomorrow night, I will ask you to close the underground mechanism or tell me how to crack it.”
"I said before I leave, I will destroy all the institutions."
"It is better not to lie to a three-year-old child again. I have always kept my promise. You have also seen it. But you are a little dishonest. There are two possibilities for total destruction. One is to make the mechanism ineffective, and the other is to completely block the way down. If it is the latter... do you think you are I did it as promised, but in fact I saved you, but you harmed me! This still means that you have the ability to attack the agency. Of course, I don’t know if you have this ability. Anyway, the ghost I saw outside just passed away. Soon, it will be difficult to scare people..."
Before Wu Chen could finish his words, a big rock next to him suddenly floated up and hit him hard at his feet.
"Okay, if you have the ability, let's go back to the two possibilities. Do you just disable the mechanism, or completely block the way down? I think it depends on your identity. "
"The doll himself said just now that if the treasure were born, I don't know how many people would lose their lives fighting for it. "
"I knew you didn't hold it in!" Wu Chen was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to raise his head: "We are on errands for the officials. It is better for the royal family to collect these treasures than for others. Think about it! ”
The old voice stopped talking.
"Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will fulfill my promise and rescue you! See you tomorrow."
Wu Chen turned around and left the mountain col. For Wu Chen, the mountain col was He really didn't care that much after cleaning up.
