Chapter 407 Selling one’s body to bury one’s father
Zi Han nodded. She and Bai Yu searched the entire Zhang Mansion but couldn't find him. If they didn't find out where the Tibetan was, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.
This seems to be the best way at the moment. Zi Han is good at martial arts and has deep internal strength. It is not dangerous for her to enter Zhang Mansion. As long as the people in Zhang Mansion buy her back, they will definitely lock her up. Then Zi Han can find out the whereabouts of the Tibetan.
"Okay, Zi Han, we will make arrangements tomorrow. If you really enter Zhang's house, you must be extremely careful, okay?" Chu Yunxi instructed again and again.
Zi Han agreed, and the next day, Yan Mingzhu told them the location of the dental clinic.
Dasui allowed the buying and selling of servants, which was legal, so the pawnbrokers existed openly. Yan Mingzhu's parents had originally approached the pawnbrokers, hoping that they would help them find a place where they could sign a working contract so that their daughter could work as a maid to supplement the family income. This was how they accidentally sent Yan Mingzhu into the tiger's mouth.
Originally, Xiao Mubei meant to break into the pawnshop directly and threaten them, forcing them to find a way to send Zi Han to the Zhang Mansion under pressure. However, Chu Yunxi said that the Zhang Mansion often bought and sold people, and there was no guarantee that they were not in collusion with the people in the pawnshop. What if someone secretly sent the news out, then all their efforts would be wasted. It would be best to hide it from the pawnshop and let them come to them themselves.
So at noon, at the intersection near the pawnshop, there appeared a young girl selling herself to bury her father.
The girl was dressed in mourning, kneeling on the ground and crying quietly. At her feet lay a person covered with a white cloth, with four big words written next to him: Selling myself to bury my father.
After a short while, a group of people gathered around him, watching the fun, and the sound of whispers could be heard everywhere.
"How pitiful! She looks like she is only about fourteen or fifteen years old, right?"
"Yes, but this girl looks unfamiliar. Is she from our town?"
"Probably not. I've never seen one."
Someone asked loudly, "Girl, what happened to you?"
The mask on Zi Han's face was naturally fake skin. This was the human skin mask that Chu Yunxi had to wear every time she went out. It was made by Qing Yue, and it was so lifelike that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. Bai Yu, who was lying on the ground at the moment, also wore one, pretending to be an old man, in case someone opened it and looked.
Zi Han sobbed softly and said, "I am from southern Xinjiang. My father and I are the only ones who depend on each other in my family. Some time ago, our village was massacred. My father and I escaped because we went up the mountain to dig herbs. We dared not live in the village anymore, so we thought about going north to make a living. Unexpectedly, my father fell ill on the way and his condition became more and more serious day by day. We had no money to treat the disease. As soon as we arrived at Wushan Town yesterday, my father..."
She lowered her head and cried even more sadly. Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei hid in the crowd. Chu Yunxi whispered, "I didn't expect Zi Han's acting skills to improve day by day. She is worthy of being taught by me personally."
Xiao Mubei covered his face, unable to bear to look at it. This man was too narcissistic. He just rehearsed this play in the inn this morning and taught it to Zi Han, but now he regards himself as a master.
In the morning, they fabricated an identity for Zi Han that she was a villager of Jumu Village, because the massacre of Jumu Village was a real event. If the pawnbroker wanted to buy someone, they would definitely do an investigation. If they made up a story, they would definitely be suspected.
At this time, the people around pointed and said, "It's so tragic, so pitiful."
Zi Han cried for a while, then sobbed and spoke, "I am really helpless. I have no money on me, so I can't bury my father. I can only sell myself to bury him. I hope some kind-hearted person can help prepare a thin coffin. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future to repay your kindness."
She prostrated herself on the ground, her body twitching, and suddenly she heard a light snoring sound next to her. Zi Han was shocked that Bai Yu, this fool, had fallen asleep at this time. She cried even louder and stretched out her hand to twist Bai Yu's thigh hard. Bai Yu woke up with a start, and just when he was about to jump up, his legs were suppressed by an internal force and he couldn't move. Then he remembered that he was acting, so he lay down and didn't move.
This series of small movements were completed under Zi Han's wide sleeves. The people around were unaware of it, but Xiao Mubei who was staring at them saw it clearly.
At this time, a woman in her fifties separated from the crowd and stood in front of Zi Han, saying, "I will help you bury your father, you come with me."
Hei Mu walked up to Xiao Mubei and said in a low voice, "This person is the matchmaker in the dental shop. I saw her walk out of the dental shop with my own eyes."
Very good, she really took the bait. Zi Han raised her head and glanced at Xiao Mubei. Seeing him nod slightly, she kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie."
Two servants came out from the pawnshop and lifted up Bai Yu. Zi Han stood up and followed the woman. When the onlookers saw someone taking action, they slowly dispersed.
Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi watched Zi Han and Bai Yu enter the pawnshop, so they asked Hei Mu to watch at the door and went back to the inn first. The next step was to find a way to get the pawnshop to sell Zi Han to the Zhang family.
At night, Bai Yu came back and said that the people from the dental clinic ostensibly bought him a thin coffin and carried him out for burial, but in fact they only rented a coffin and put on a show for Zi Han. As soon as they left the city, they immediately wrapped him up in a torn straw mat and threw him into a mass grave. However, this saved Bai Yu a lot of trouble as he didn't have to crawl out of the grave. He just got up, dusted off his body and left.
The people in this dental shop really have bad consciences. Although it was just acting, Chu Yunxi was still very angry when she heard Bai Yu say that. If there really was a girl who had fallen to this point, selling herself just to give her relatives a place to rest in peace, it would be really inhumane for them to do this.
Once this matter is settled, the dental practice will have to teach them a lesson.
Xiao Mubei looked Bai Yu up and down, curled his lips, and asked, "Does your leg hurt?"
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Xiao Mubei was talking about Zi Han twisting him in the morning. He said awkwardly, "I was lying down and couldn't move. I accidentally fell asleep. I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Xiao Mubei said calmly: "Why are you apologizing to me? Wait until Zi Han comes back and apologize to her. If she hadn't reacted quickly, you would have been exposed and today's play would have been in vain."
Bai Yu nodded his head and said, "I will apologize to Zi Han when she comes back. Now I will go to the dental clinic to pick her up."
Xiao Mubei waved his hand, "Go, meet up with Hei Mu, keep a close eye on her, and don't let anything happen to Zi Han."
Bai Yu agreed and left. Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Did Bai Yu fall asleep this morning? How come I didn't notice it?"
"Luckily Zi Han reacted quickly and woke him up in time. Not only did he fall asleep, he was snoring."
Chu Yunxi exclaimed "Ah", thinking to herself that it was fortunate that Zi Han reacted quickly. She didn't expect Bai Yu to make such a mistake. But it was normal to think about it. Who can lie down all the time and not fall asleep?
