Chapter 444: Accepted as a Slave
Ning Qi broke down and burst into tears. She put down her bowl of porridge and rushed to Ning Wenxu. While grabbing the sharp chopsticks from her brother's hand, she said, "Brother, I don't want to be separated from you. Even if I die, I want to die with you."
Ning Wenxu tried to push Ning Qi away, but he was too weak to do it.
During the escape, any food he had was eaten by his sister first. His weight also dropped sharply from over 120 kilograms to less than 90 kilograms. He seemed to be halfway to death.
After being beaten up yesterday, only his head was left in the world of the living, and his body below the neck was buried in the underworld.
After his sister rushed over, Ning Wenxu dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
Unable to commit suicide, Ning Wenxu could only reason with his sister: "Qiqi, listen to me."
"Brother is no different from a dead man now. I can no longer protect you."
"If what happened yesterday happens again, I'll just have to watch you get dragged away by those bastards."
"So you must follow Master Chen. Only he can protect you."
Ning Qi broke down and cried, "Let's die together. I will never leave my brother and escape alone."
"Silly sister, why are you doing this? It's all my own fault that I'm in this situation today. It has nothing to do with you." Ning Wenxu said helplessly.
Seeing that Ning Qi still refused to let go, Ning Wenxu changed his approach and scolded her fiercely, "You money-loser, do you want to drag me to death? I've endured so much hardship and beatings for you along the way, and you have no idea."
"Get out of here right now, or I'll sell you to a brothel in exchange for food."
Ning Qi remained unmoved and said, "If brother really wants to sell me out, I will have no complaints."
"Why don't you understand? It really makes me mad." Ning Wenxu said sadly.
Chen Lang looked at the scene of "deep love between brother and sister" in front of him, but there was not much ripple in his heart, because he didn't dare to conclude how much of Ning Wenxu's words just now were true and how much were acting.
Ning Wenxu was indeed acting. He knew very well that what he had done in Guangling Prefecture had offended Chen Lang greatly.
It can be said that if Zhu Sui'an had not appeared at the last moment, even if Chen Lang could escape safely, he would have been in great trouble.
But it was this Zhu Sui'an who caused the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse, and he himself suffered a tragic backlash. All the "torture" that was supposed to fall on Chen Lang was experienced by himself.
After experiencing the bitter fruit of failure firsthand, Ning Wenxu realized that the hatred between him and Chen Lang would be difficult to resolve.
But fate is so bizarre. The more you don't want to see someone, the more you will see them. The more you hate someone, the more likely they will become your life-saving straw at some critical juncture.
Seeing that Chen Lang was unmoved, Ning Wenxu sighed, realizing that his previous "torture trick" did not work very well. He patted Ning Qi's shoulder, asking her to calm down a little, and then knelt in front of Chen Lang again.
"Mr. Chen, I beg you, please help my sister."
"Ning knows that, given my status, asking you to do this is quite shameless."
"But Ning, please also understand the feelings of a brother."
"I really can't watch my sister fall into an abyss of no return."
"Mr. Chen, I beg you!"
After saying that, he began to kowtow.
And it seemed as if he would keep knocking unless Chen Lang agreed.
But in just a few moments, his forehead became red and swollen.
Ning Qi stopped making a fuss at this moment. It was not because she expected her brother's kowtow to make Chen Lang soften his heart, but because she had made up her mind to be with her brother for the rest of her life.
Even if Chen Lang accepted, she would not follow him unless he took her brother with him.
Of course, the probability of this happening is very small, so all that awaits Ning Qi is death.
If you are not afraid of death, there is nothing in the world to be afraid of.
Chen Lang remained silent for a long time. Only when Ning Wenxu was staggering and almost fainting did he speak up to stop the action.
"Ning Wenxu, stop." Chen Lang said calmly.
Ning Wenxu breathed weakly and said, "Master Chen, do you agree?"
Chen Lang said calmly, "Become a slave forever, would you like it?"
Ning Wenxu said without hesitation: "Do it!"
"I said slave, not servant." Chen Lang said, "If you become a slave, the lives of you and your sister will belong to me."
"I can torture you however I want. As for your sister, whether I send her to a brothel to be a prostitute or keep her as a tool for my sexual gratification is up to me. Do you understand?"
Ning Wenxu said, "Human life is worthless, especially someone like me, who is not even worth a blade of grass."
"Being a slave to Master Chen, in exchange for a hot meal and a roof over my head, is enough."
Chen Lang said: "Okay, then follow me."
"I returned to the county town and went to the government office to sign the contract to sell myself."
Ning Wenxu bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Chen."
Chen Lang said, "Don't waste the food in the lunch box. Eat it up immediately."
Ning Wenxu took the lunch box and gave all the steamed buns inside to his sister. He then took a bowl of porridge and drank it with great slurp. The bowl was cleaner than one licked by a dog and even reflected light.
"Follow me when you're full." After saying that, Chen Lang turned and walked towards the city gate.
Ning Qi helped her brother stand up and whispered, "Brother, I've hidden those steamed buns in my sleeves. Even if he doesn't give us food at night, we won't starve."
Ning Wenxu looked at Chen Lang's back and said, "Qiqi, although I don't know Chen Lang very well, my eyes won't lie."
"Chen Lang's words were harsh and excessive, but his eyes were very clear."
Ning Qi asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Ning Wenxu shook his head and said, "Nothing."
"Qiqi, after arriving at the Chen Mansion, my brother and I will be servants. Put away your temper and serve the mistress carefully."
"If Chen Lang... No, he probably won't..."
Ning Qi said, "Don't worry, brother. I know what to do."
Ning Wenxu looked up and sighed, "Everything is determined by fate. We have no control over it."
"It's your own fault and you won't survive."
Chen Lang didn't know what the Ning brothers and sisters were muttering behind him. He helped Ning Wenxu, and it was only at that moment that he suddenly softened his heart.
Kind people often suffer great losses, but character is really determined by fate.
"I am destined to be a kind person." Chen Lang looked back at Ning Wenxu and sighed silently.
At this moment, the group of disaster victims queuing up to receive relief food suddenly broke out in a riot, and then someone was heard shouting: "Hurry up and call a doctor, Miss Xu has been stabbed!"
Chen Lang's expression suddenly changed. He turned around and ordered Xiao Qi, "Take the brothers and sisters back to the city."
After giving the instructions, he pushed through the crowd and rushed to the center of the noise.
