Good luck every time

The combination of the two quickly attracted people's attention. A dirty little beggar squatting on the side of the road looked up at Xiaoman and exclaimed "Wow". He then looked at the uncle in front who was leading Xiaoman and showed a look of disgust.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong, and quickly chased after him, picking up the patinated wooden stick and the broken bowl with a hole in it.

Xiaoman heard the noise and turned to look at him.

The little beggar was very young and very dirty, with dirt caked on his face. In such weather, he was still wearing straw sandals, revealing his dirty toenails, which were so long that they were curled.

Seeing Xiaoman looking at him, he quickly stopped.

Xiaoman didn't dislike him. There were many dirty children in the village, and Xiaoman was not surprised.

She thought about it, took out two pieces of maltose from her waist, and threw them into the broken bowl that the little beggar had licked until it was shiny.

"I don't have anything to eat. If you are hungry, wait for me here. I will come back and give you some steamed bread."

That bowl was the only clean thing on the little beggar, but that was definitely not because he was hygienic.

Looking at the beautifully twisted oil paper, the little beggar was stunned for a moment.

While he was stunned, Xiaoman had already turned around and followed the uncle forward.

The little beggar had seen too much human warmth and coldness and heard too many tragic stories. He hesitated for a moment and then turned around and ran back.

Xiaoman turned her head when she heard the noise, and didn't make any other movements.

The little beggar walked around a street and soon stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

“Seventh brother, seventh brother!”

The man he called Seventh Brother was a round-faced young man who was squatting at the gate of his house sucking noodles. When he saw the little beggar, he hugged the bowl of noodles tightly as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"What are you doing? I just got this from Lao Wu. If you want to eat it, go find him!"

The little beggar smelled the fragrance of the noodles, pouted his lips and reached forward, but unfortunately he couldn't even get a breath of warm air.

"I'm not... I got something, let me show you!"

The little beggar took out a piece of candy and showed it to the round-faced man.

The man took it, tore open the oil paper and put it into his mouth, then ate the candy with the noodles.

Little beggar:......

"Mmm! Maltose, good stuff! Made from grain!"

The little beggar pursed his lips, but he thought of Xiaoman and took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in his heart.

"Seventh Brother! That...that person still has a lot of them..."

When he heard that there were many more, the round-faced man’s eyes widened instantly.

"Rich people! They have so much maltose!"

The little beggar nodded vigorously and stretched out his hand to make a big gesture.

“There are so many!”

The round-faced man opened his mouth and instantly sucked the noodles in the bowl into his mouth, then walked towards the alley with the bowl in his hand.

The little beggar breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his back holding the bowl disappear into the alley.

Although one of his candies was eaten by someone else, he still had one.

He took out the candy with a silly smile and carefully tore open the oil paper.

The maltose was not big to begin with, and he did not dare to cut a big hole in it. When he saw the white and quiet piece of candy, he swallowed his saliva and licked it with his tongue.

Because it was coated with starch, he didn't actually taste much.

But he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, he always felt that the candy was too sweet.

He retracted his tongue and chuckled twice.

But the next moment, a hand appeared in front of him, and the candy he was holding carefully disappeared in an instant.

Along with that, there was also a slap on the back of his head.

"I was wondering how you knew they had so much candy, and you begged for several pieces!"

The round-faced man appeared in front of him again, but the bowl of noodles in his hand was gone.

Little beggar:......

The round-faced man tilted his head back and the candy went into his mouth.

This time the little beggar couldn't help it and burst into tears.

His, sugar!

Annoyed by the little beggar's crying, the round-faced man frowned and took out the half of a dry and hard pancake he had left and stuffed it into the other's mouth.

"Alright, alright, stop crying!"

The little beggar, who used to be satisfied with just a pancake, was crying heart-wrenchingly this time.

The round-faced man was also speechless. He grabbed out the piece of candy from somewhere and stuffed it into the little beggar's mouth.

When the little beggar ate the candy, his tears were instantly held back. He chewed the candy quickly and swallowed it. Then he snatched the pancake from the round-faced man and ran away.

"Wait! Wait! Why are you running so fast? You haven't told me where that girl went!"

The little beggar didn't agree when he heard it, and he kept stuffing dry food into his mouth while running.

"Run slower or you'll choke! Seriously!"

He just asked casually. After all, it was easy for him to find out about someone in this town!

The little beggar had a bulging mouth and met another group of beggars when he walked out of the alley.

"Little thing! I heard that you got something good. Hurry up and take it out for Brother Dazhuang to taste."

The little beggar swallowed the pancake with great effort.

"Brother Dazhuang, you are too late. The candy was snatched away by Brother Qi!"

"So what's in your mouth?"

The little beggar opened his mouth for them to see.

"It's a pancake, made by Brother Seven...it's so hard!"

When they heard that the pancakes were made by Brother Qi, the beggars around all showed ferocious expressions at the same time.

Seventh Brother’s pancakes are enough for them.

But they would not eat that kind of pancakes unless they had no other choice.

It’s hard to say, but I don’t know what’s mixed in it, but it makes people have diarrhea after eating it, and sometimes a lot of worms will come out of their stool, which is really scary.

In those days when medical care was scarce and medicine was scarce, the little beggars all had a consensus that things that caused diarrhea must be bad for the body, and things that caused worms were even more poisonous.

The beggars dispersed and ran into every corner of the town.

On the other side, Xiaoman followed the uncle and walked forward.

As we walked, we saw the city gate.

Xiaoman raised an eyebrow.

"Uncle, is this market outside the city?"

When the uncle heard Xiaoman's words, he laughed again.

"At the city gate. Didn't you see it when you came?"

Xiaoman took a deep breath.

"Oh, I see! I came here in a carriage, and I didn't see anything at the city gate."

The uncle's eyes flickered and he comforted her again.

"It's okay, there's nothing to see during the day!"

After hearing this, Xiaoman fell silent and followed the man out of the city gate.

As soon as they came out, a little beggar led the round-faced man and ran over.

"That's it! They're out of town!"

After hearing this, the round-faced man patted the little beggar on the shoulder and ran towards the city gate.

As soon as he ran to the city gate, it slammed shut.

Seeing him coming, the guard at the city gate raised a lantern and looked around carefully before coming closer.

"Seventh Brother!?"

"Yeah! I need to go out of town."

"now?"

"Correct!"

While asking questions, the guard waved his hand and asked someone to leave a gap for the person in front of him.

"Would you like me to hold the door open for you?"

"No need! I'm not sure whether I will come back or not!"

As the city gate slammed shut, Xiaoman turned around and looked behind him.

The uncle who brought her out finally felt relieved, but he couldn't help but look a little more wretched.

"Don't worry, the city gate will open again after the market is over!"

Xiaoman is really not worried.

"Oh!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a slight noise behind her, and Xiaoman turned her head to look over.

However, she saw nothing.

Xiaoman was a little surprised and even doubted whether she had heard it wrong.

But she immediately drove this thought out of her mind. She trusted her own perception very much and knew that there was definitely someone following them.

Since the other party was unwilling to expose himself, Xiaoman did not point it out and chased after the uncle.

The two walked for a while and met a man.

The man was wearing black clothes and was also very dark. Even with Xiaoman's eyesight, he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dark, which shows how dark he was.

"Brother Ya! I'm taking a sister to the market!"

After hearing this, the man called Brother Ya looked behind the uncle and saw Xiaoman standing there prettyly. His eyes lit up.

"Yeah! You're a great sister!"

The uncle chuckled and reached out to pull Xiaoman.

Xiaoman moved quickly and slapped the other person on the back of his hand, instantly causing the back of his hand and wrist to swell up.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid of the dark, just lead the way."

Hearing Xiaoman's confident tone, Brother Ya did not show any strangeness and continued to look at Xiaoman with the eyes of examining the goods.

But the uncle was a little embarrassed.

"You know nothing! You're just a little girl. If I hadn't brought you here, how could you have gotten in?"

As he said this, he wanted to pull Xiaoman again.

Xiaoman sneered and slapped him again, but this time it was on the uncle's face. In an instant, two lines of blood spurted out.

Xiaoman withdrew his hand and, at the same time, took back the poison needle hidden in his hand.

Some people just don't deserve such an honest look, so just let it be destroyed!

The uncle covered his face in pain.

Xiaoman turned around and looked at Brother Ya.

"He's a loser! He can't even lead the way. You lead the way for me. I want to go to the market and take a look!"

Brother Ya sneered and looked at Xiaoman who seemed to be ignorant of the immensity of the world.

He didn't say anything, but turned around and made a 'please' gesture.

Seeing this, the uncle also wanted to follow, but as soon as he stood up, he was kicked down by Brother Ya.

"Get lost! Your sister is my sister now!"

After he finished speaking, he led Xiaoman forward. Not long after they walked, Xiaoman saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

"You are quite well prepared!"

After Xiaoman finished speaking, he did not get into the carriage, but sat on the other side of the carriage, apparently preparing to enjoy the scenery outside.

Brother Ya didn't say anything, but got on the carriage and drove along a small path.

The carriage traveled for a quarter of an hour and finally stopped outside a village.

Xiaoman jumped off the carriage and looked at the village in the distance with some surprise.

The houses inside are not very luxurious, but the whole village is hung with various lanterns.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and we actually arrived at a place similar to a market.

Xiaoman was a little surprised. She didn't expect there would be a market! ?

She doubted herself again, wondering if she had wronged a good person!

Unfortunately, this idea soon disappeared completely.

This is indeed a market, but what is being bought and sold are not lanterns, but women of all kinds.

Walking into the village, Xiaoman saw cages on both sides of the road.

The cages are filled with half-naked women. In this winter, in order to keep warm, they have to constantly flirt and pose to attract visitors. Only in this way can they be brought into the house.

When Ya Ge arrived here, he revealed his true face. He laughed at Xiao Man and seemed to enjoy seeing the helpless look of the little girl.

Xiaoman remained silent, his hands subconsciously placed on the two swords at his waist.

"Sister, listen to your brother's advice. It's best not to take action here."

When Xiaoman heard this, she turned to look at Ya Ge. She was very calm, at least calmer than Ya Ge had imagined.

Not only did he not draw his sword out of fear, he was even able to ask back out of curiosity.

"How to say?"

Brother Ya crossed his arms.

"There are always some ignorant chivalrous women in the martial arts world who want to save others! Look at their current situation!"

Ya Ge pointed to one of the cages.

Xiaoman followed his gaze and realized that the cage was different from the others.

There were iron chains inside, which pierced the scapula of each woman.

Some of them had their tendons in their hands and feet cut, while others were fed drugs that crippled their martial arts skills.

"These goods are very valuable, they are in good health and don't spoil easily!"

Xiaoman was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean by not easily broken?"

Looking at her innocent appearance and pure face, Brother Ya laughed out loud with evil humor.

Just then, a man in luxurious clothes approached them.

"Hey! Is this new? Let me taste it first!"

Ya Ge raised an eyebrow.

"You? You can't do that. This thing is very prickly. You have to wait for my big brother to train you!"

Xiaoman listened to the noises around her. The noisy sounds were like lines that formed pictures in her mind.

She was a little confused, as everything here touched upon her blind spots in knowledge.

Hearing the noise here, a few more men gathered over.

Someone quietly reached out to Xiaoman, but before he could touch Xiaoman, Xiaoman slapped him in the face.

"How dare you, you bastard, hit me!"

The man was knocked to the ground by Xiaoman. He felt a burning sensation on his face and his lips seemed to be swollen.

Hearing his scolding, Xiaoman was not afraid but rather arrogant.

"Didn't you listen to him? I'm his, and you're touching me without even asking him? Who the hell are you?"

After scolding this man, Xiaoman turned around and scolded Brother Ya.

"I'm so valuable, and you still let people touch me casually? You're useless! If you can't do it, just tell me and I'll find someone else to take care of me!"

Ya: ...

He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

Only one thought flashed through my mind.

What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm the one being sold to this girl as a slave?!

Xiaoman said and continued to scold him.

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you say you would take me to see your big brother?"

Ya: ...

Is it appropriate to bring this girl to meet my eldest brother?

You can’t come out and become my sister-in-law! ?
