The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

More than a dozen concubines lived in seven courtyards. From Qiwu's system perspective, not all of these concubines lived well. Some of them had gone crazy and were locked up in a courtyard with unkempt hair and tattered clothes.

A thin figure was squatting in the corner and writing on a stone. When he heard the noise outside, he started to chatter and shout. When the person left, he became quiet and continued to squat and write.

Qiwu felt sad, she recognized who this person was.

Two years ago, Qiwu was locked up in a hidden hut in the ancestral hall for escaping. As a result of the punishment, he was injured, sick, had a fever, and was hungry and thirsty.

The chieftain used the method of keeping an eagle alive on her at that time, and she only had a small amount of food and water every day to sustain her life.

She felt that she could not bear it any longer and collapsed to the ground, staring at the high roof. There was a small hole where the roof and the wall met, which was the only source of light in the hut, revealing the beautiful clouds at dusk.

She doubted whether she would be able to see another sunset.

Suddenly something fell through the hole and hit her stomach. It was a green and red fruit, and after a while a few more fell.

Qiwu didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and ate the fruit voraciously. He was reluctant to throw away even the core, and held it in his mouth to absorb the remaining moisture.

Then a small voice came from behind the nailed wooden window. "Are you okay? I heard your voice this afternoon. I only dare to come here when there are few people around."

After asking in a low voice, I found out that she heard Qiwu calling for help.

The back window was tightly blocked by wood. Qiwu staggered over with the help of the wall. The wooden window was nailed shut, and only a tiny gap several sheets of paper thick allowed people to see through it.

Through the gap, I saw a very lively girl with a woman's hairstyle, an oval face, bright eyes, a slingshot on her waist, and her sleeves rolled up.

I don’t know if it’s because the dusk light is too bright or the girl’s eyes are too shining, but Qiwu feels his gloomy mood has brightened.

In this way, the girl used a slingshot to shoot fruits at her for several days.

After she went out, she secretly inquired about the girl's information. It turned out that she was Yingchun, the daughter of a fur trader's first wife, who was sent here to smooth things over and become a concubine. She was still quite favored.

Qiwu had no chance to talk to Yingchun alone until the day of her wedding, when everyone was packing their luggage. By then, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the clan was afraid of putting too much pressure on her, so they allowed her to go to the garden to take a break.

She dismissed her maids and sat down under a tree with green and red fruits.

She picked a fruit and took a small bite. The sour taste made the roots of her teeth numb. She insisted on eating the fruit one bite at a time, and carefully wrapped the core in her handkerchief.

The branches beside her trembled, and she finally met the lively girl again.

Her smile was not as dazzling as before, but her eyes were as bright as before. She still remembered Qiwu, and Qiwu couldn't help wanting to cry.

But they don't have much time.

Qi Wu whispered to her, "This is a place where people are eaten. You must escape, no matter what means you use. In the tribe leader's place, everyone will be exploited, and those whose value is squeezed out will have a very miserable end."

Qiwu took out her handkerchief. As her wedding was approaching, the nanny was keeping a close eye on the jewelry she was wearing. It would be unacceptable for her to go out without a piece of jewelry, so she could only give the handkerchief to the girl.

"I will go to the capital. I don't know what my fate will be like, but my status will be higher than it is now. If you encounter any difficulties, please ask someone to tell me. I will do my best to help you."

The people looking for Qiwu are coming. Yingchun handed a slingshot to Qiwu, "I also know your situation. I am not well educated, but I am very good at judging people. You can definitely get out of this quagmire."

Qiwu's courage increased at that time because for the first time someone clearly expressed her inner desire.

The thin figure in the shabby yard stood up, and Qiwu woke up from his memories. The thin figure had already entered the house. After a while, he took out a steamed bun and ate it while walking, knocking on the doors of other people's houses one by one.

Some knocked on the door and the locked door shook violently, some cried uncontrollably at the sound, and some were silent.

If there was a sound, Yingchun would put a steamed bread in through the food delivery port.

If there is no sound, stop for a moment, open the door and go in to take a look.

Qiwu felt that she suddenly behaved like a normal person. He hid his body on a skateboard and followed her to the door.

Suddenly Yingchun stopped walking and turned back quickly. Under her messy hair were a pair of bright eyes.

Qiwu was startled and reflexively flew away on his flying skateboard. It took him a while to realize that he had become invisible.

Yingchun didn't see anything and continued to walk into the house. The person in the house was emaciated and had died.

She reached out to tidy up the deceased's appearance, then went back to the door and sat down, folding her arms and lowering her head.

Qi Wu couldn't bear it, so he removed his invisibility and came out from his hiding place, "Are you okay?"

Yingchun raised her head quickly. "It's you. I remember your voice, Qiwu."

Qiwu also sat down. "Why didn't you send me a message?"

Yingchun didn't answer, but pointed to the yard and said, "You were right before, this house is a monster that eats flesh and sucks marrow."

"No flower lasts forever. Not long after you left, the novelty of your departure wore off, and my life started to become difficult.

It wasn't until one day when someone came to tell me to go to the front hall to entertain guests that I really understood what it meant to have a concubine for sale.

That day, I was so scared that I was shaking, so I hid in the garden. I went back in the middle of the night and found out that the guests thought there were not enough people and it was not lively enough, so the clan leader sent his concubine who was still favored to go with them. "

Yingchun wiped away the tears that flowed down her cheeks. "Those people are all crazy. Ten of them died. All of them are crazy. This one is the last one to die. The others died long ago.

I always thought that if I had gone there, one of them would have lived forever, but I also knew that it was not my fault, but those disgusting guests and the clan leader were at fault. "

Yingchun looked back at Qiwu and said, "I had to pretend to be crazy to avoid entertaining guests. When I was caught and brought into this courtyard, all my belongings were searched. Your handkerchief was made of good material, and I couldn't protect it at all."

Pointing to the two open doors at the back, he said, "They were just brought in, and one of them is mentally ill. There are always people going crazy in this mansion."

Qi Wu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "The chief will go crazy tomorrow. Let's escape first and tell me the details later."

Yingchun went back to the house and got a slingshot she had made herself. This was her only luggage.

Qiwu didn't want to expose her specialness, so he asked her, "I have a medicine that will make you temporarily sleepy, because the way I secretly sent you out needs to be kept secret, are you willing?"

Yingchun was very willing and did not hesitate at all.

Qiwu used a sleeping talisman on her and carried her into the hovercraft. With this kind of talisman, Yingchun would have to sleep for at least a whole day.
