What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Gu Xi and her two siblings immediately became interested and asked the waiter what the most delicious local food was.

The waiter spoke eloquently and knew everything about the matter. He seems to be a good material for a tour guide.

Finally, Gu Xi gave him ten copper coins as a tip. Although the waiter thanked him politely, he was not surprised, which shows that the people here are really rich.

After a short rest, everyone prepared to go out shopping. They didn't have dinner and went to the street to taste various snacks.

Qi was originally a little tired from the journey and didn't want to go out to join the fun, but was persuaded by Gu Xi's words "since we're here anyway", and the group of five went shopping together.

"Mutton kebabs, mutton kebabs, authentic mutton kebabs! Tender and juicy, the fragrance lingers in your mouth after one bite!"

"The freshly baked naan is big and fragrant. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

The Hu people here look and speak exactly the same as modern Xinjiang people, and their shouts are full of enthusiasm and boldness.

Some vendors would even add some unique hand movements to attract the attention of Gu Ping and Gu Yuan.

The two kids were curious about everything and bought some snacks from every stall.

However, Madam Qi and Nanny Yun prefer to eat Han people's wontons and pastries.

Gu Xi took the mutton skewers from his brother, and then took the toasted buns from his sister, and soon he was full.

Then they went to watch the circus.

At the circus stall, a foreigner was performing magic tricks. He waved his hands non-stop, and sometimes a dove appeared, sometimes a bouquet of flowers appeared, which drew cheers from the audience around him.

"How amazing!" Gu Ping and Gu Yuan couldn't help but applaud.

After watching the acrobatics, Gu Xi took his younger brothers and sisters to play ring tossing.

Seeing the children having fun, Qi felt very relieved - she hoped that her husband's spirit in heaven would bless the children to be happy and worry-free forever.

"Sister, look at all the people over there. There must be something fun!" Gu Yuan pointed to a building not far away where many people were gathered.

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Xi, holding one in each hand, pulled the two people forward.

Nanny Yun and Madam Qi were not as fast as the three of them, so they followed far behind.

After going there, Gu Xi regretted it. This turned out to be a brothel.

The plaque hanging above the door read "Hua Man Lou". Gu Xi saw a scantily clad Hu woman and a slim Han woman standing at the door welcoming guests, and men walked in one after another.

On the right side of the door, there were many people watching the fun, and no one knew what was happening inside.

But Gu Xi couldn't possibly stay in a place like a brothel with his brother and sister. Just as he was about to take them back, he heard Gu Ping suddenly say:

"It seems to be Sister Ying!"

One of the people who were watching just now left, leaving a gap. Gu Xi looked in the direction of her finger.

There was a girl of about six or seven years old sitting on the ground crying. She was Gu Ying, the sixth daughter of the second branch of the Gu family.

The three of them hurried forward. They were far away and it was noisy outside, so they didn't hear any sound from inside. When they got closer, they heard that in addition to Gu Ying's crying, there was also a woman's crying and begging for mercy.

"Madam! It's fine if you sell me. The indenture of my slave is in your hands. You can do whatever you want with her. But Yingjie'er is the flesh and blood of the Gu family. She is also your child. How can you sell her as well?"

It turned out to be Aunt Lian from the second room.

"Aunt... wuwu... Mother, please don't sell my aunt. I will be very good and eat less, wow wow..." Gu Ying cried breathlessly.

Gu Xi didn't expect to meet someone from the second house here.

In front of the mother and daughter stood a woman with a pointed face, high cheekbones, and a sarcastic look. She was none other than Li, the legal wife of her second uncle Gu Yunze.

Li kicked away Aunt Lian who was holding her legs with disgust, and said to a plump woman with heavy makeup in a flattering way:

"Mother Qin, although this woman has given birth to a child, she is very pretty. This little girl is also a natural beauty and will surely be a great beauty in the future. Do you think the price can be increased a little more?"

"Master! Yingjie'er is also your biological sister. You can't just watch her being sold to such a filthy place!"

Seeing that Li's plea was useless, Aunt Lian turned around and knelt in front of a young man next to her to beg for mercy.

The young man was Gu Chao, the eldest son of the second wife. He clenched his fist and finally said:

"Mrs. Lian, just listen to mother. You know what our family is like right now. You and Sister Ying should stay here. At least you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Hearing this, Gu Xi turned around and saw Qi and Nanny Yun also walking towards this side. He quickly pulled them aside and briefly explained the situation inside.

Qi sighed:

"When Aunt Lian was in the mansion, she was an honest and decent woman. I never thought she would end up like this. It's a pity for Sister Ying. Mrs. Li is really evil."

Gu Xi said coldly:

"My second uncle and second aunt are a perfect match. They are a pair of filthy scumbags. They first sold my sister-in-law and nephews and nieces, and now they even don't let their own daughter go."

Alas, in the evil old society, human trafficking and running brothels were both legal.

Gu Yuan looked sad and said:

"Mother, elder sister, can we save sister Ying?"

When Gu Yuan was in the mansion, he also played with Gu Ying. This younger sister was very well-behaved.

Qi said with some embarrassment:

"Mother wants to save them, but we should not let the people from the second house find out. After all, they have your second uncle and Gu Chao, two grown men. How can we, an orphan and a widow, fight against them?"

Qi was worried that they would be plotted against by the second wife again, after all, her child was too young.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Gu Xi doesn't think so.

Qi and the others can't let themselves be plotted against by the scumbags in the second house in vain, she has to take revenge.

I didn't even know where to find them, and now they're right at my doorstep.

But Gu Xi knew that Qi was worried, so he didn't say it out loud, but just said:

"Mother, I still have some banknotes hidden. How about I go and buy Aunt Lian and Sister Ying?"

Qi was obviously relieved and said:

"Okay, Xier, mother also thinks that Yingjie is of the Gu family's bloodline and the granddaughter of General Gu. She shouldn't end up in a place like this. We should help her. But you have to be careful. Your own safety is the most important."

"Don't worry, I'll do the job." Gu Xi said.

Since the other family members now showed their true faces, Gu Xi asked them to hide far away and he squeezed into the crowd.

At this time, Li was bargaining with Qin's mother, and finally Qin's mother said:

"The price is twenty taels. If you don't want to sell it, you can take it away. I am upset to see them crying."

Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, deal!"
