Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

What Su Yu saw was a young man with a big iron chain tied around his neck.

He was being pinned to the ground and whipped severely with a whip. His clothes were torn into pieces and not a single piece was intact. He looked to be about twelve years old, with messy hair and a skinny body.

The little girl next to her also had a dirty face. She looked to be about ten years old, not very old.

The little girl knelt on the ground, hugging the legs of the man wielding the whip tightly. She cried desperately: "Uncle, don't hit my brother, don't hit my brother, we will be obedient."

"Will you dare to run again in the future?" The big man with a face full of flesh, who was being dragged by the thigh, yelled at the brother and sister.

"I won't dare to do it again, never again," the little girl bit her lower lip, but her hands holding the big man's legs tightened.

On the other hand, the young man who was being beaten had eyes like a hungry wolf, staring at the big man in front of him who was beating him.

The whip kept hitting the flesh, making a "pa pa pa" sound. Su Yu, an outsider, felt creepy when he heard it, but the boy seemed as if he was not the one being whipped.

The big man who was stared at so fiercely by him also felt his scalp tingling, so he attacked more ruthlessly.

The little girl became more and more desperate. She used all her strength to hug the big man, but was kicked in the heart, and was kicked away, just hitting the corner of the wooden cage on the side.

Su Yu thought that the big wooden cage should be used to imprison two people.

Su Yu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stopped them and said, "Stop it. How much do you want for these two servants? I'll buy them."

The man with a face full of flesh stopped swinging the whip in his hand when he heard the sound.

He narrowed his eyes, which were as big as green beans, and stared closely at the black satin dress on Su Yu.

His eyes revealed greed and cunning, as if he was assessing the value of the clothes.

Then, he stretched out five thick fingers towards Su Yu, showing a greedy smile, and said to Su Yu: "Two people together, five taels!"

The trafficker saw Su Yu dressed richly and thought the deal was a sure thing.

Su Yu bargained: "Four taels."

"How is it possible? Such a big boy and a little girl, how could they be sold for only four taels?" The peddler was very excited. He felt that this young man was just looking for trouble.

However, Su Yu pulled him aside and whispered, "Although this boy is only about ten years old, he must be causing trouble and running away often."

The trafficker said honestly: "Yes"

Su Yu asked again: "Will it be returned even if it is sold?"

"Yes," the vendor nodded again. He wondered how this young man knew that.

Su Yu continued: "If I buy this troublemaker for you and promise you that I won't return it, it will solve a big problem for you.

Besides, think about it, you took so much trouble, wasted time and energy taking care of these two people, but didn't sell a single penny, and it took so long. If you have this time, you might as well take care of other obedient people and negotiate more business."

The big man was convinced by Su Yu's very logical conversation.

He said: "That's right, oh my... I lost a lot, these two things wasted a lot of my time. Fortunately, the young master came here today to buy these two money-losing items."

Su Yu smiled and said: "So I bought them all for you, which solved a big problem for you."

The trafficker laughed uncontrollably upon hearing this, and his already small eyes became even uglier.

Su Yu said he couldn't bear to watch it, and ordered: "Xiao Wu, give me the silver."

Although Xiaowu felt a little distressed, he still took out four taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the human trafficker.

The trafficker eagerly took the silver, and a more attentive smile appeared on his face. He quickly handed the two indentures to Su Yu and said flatteringly, "Sir, these are their indentures. Please take them."

After saying that, he hurriedly packed up his stall, as if he was afraid that Su Yu would go back on his word.

Su Yu collected the two indentures and looked at the two siblings lying on the ground, covered in dirt. He said, "From now on, you are my people. You must obey my orders in everything. I never keep idle people in my house."

In fact, the moment he received the indenture, the space puppet made a "ding" sound, and a voice broadcast sounded in Su Yu's mind.

"Saving two key figures will increase your Merit by 10 points and your Intelligence by 10 points. As of now, your Merit is negative 10 points and your Intelligence is 40 points, which means you haven't passed yet.

Su Yu was puzzled: "Key person?"

But he asked the two of them without any expression on his face.

Su Yu said: "Get up, the ground is so dirty. What are your names?"

Wait until the brother and sister stood up tremblingly.

Su Yu asked as he casually handed the candied haws in his hand to the two of them.

They looked as fierce and wary as a young wolf, and were stunned when Su Yu casually handed them the candied haws.

He and his sister have never eaten candied haws since their parents passed away.

Seeing that they were reluctant to take the food, Su Yu thought they were reluctant to eat it. So Su Yu said arrogantly: "Eat it, there will be more later. I am not a master who treats servants harshly."

The little girl also looked at him. Although she wanted to eat candied haws, she listened to her brother. If her brother didn't want it, she didn't dare to take it.

The boy looked at his thin and dirty sister with a greedy look on her face. He knelt on his knees again as if he had made a big decision.

He kowtowed to Su Yu and said: "Your servant Xie An is here to greet the master."

The little girl behind him also followed suit, kneeling down like her brother and saying, "The servant Xie Nanxing pays respects to the master."

Su Yu said: "Get up."

They both answered "yes" in unison.

Su Yu shook the candied haws in his hand, and Tao Kan said: "If you don't take it, your master's hands will be sore."

The two of them then carefully took the tempting red candied haws.

Su Yu may not remember this scene, but in the hearts of both of them, this scene will always be frozen in their minds.

Su Yu also had no idea what huge waves these two people he rescued would cause in this dynasty in the future.

On the other side, butcher Zhang Yong returned to Zhangjia Village. Just as he arrived under the big tree at the entrance of the village, he was stopped by Erwa, the grandson of the village chief. He said that all the villagers had been called to the village chief's house and that he had something to announce.

After tying up the ox cart, butcher Zhang Yong and Erwa walked to the gate outside the village chief's house, and then they heard noisy sounds coming from inside the house.

From a distance, I heard a voice, "Castrating all the pigs, isn't that ridiculous? If the pigs die, who will compensate us for our losses?"

Aunt Guihua roared in anger, her voice as loud as thunder, making the ears of everyone present buzz.

Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and she seemed very dissatisfied with the decision.

After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at her husband, Zhang Laizhong, who was standing next to her. Her eyes showed that she hoped to get his support and recognition.

Zhang Laizhong glanced at the village chief, whose face had turned a little blue. In his heart, he also strongly disagreed with castration, but on the surface he said in a submissive tone: "Yes, what if the pig dies?" He looked like a good husband who listened to his wife.

After saying that, he never dared to look up to see the village chief's expression again.

Mrs. Qian from another family also agreed.

"Yes, village chief, my orphan and I have grown up relying on these pigs. If we share some of the money, our whole family will starve to death if the pigs die!"

After saying that, he sat down on the ground, slapping the ground with his hands and crying.

The child beside her didn't understand, but she also cried along. The old woman cried heartbreakingly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and pain.

Her cries echoed throughout the village, moving everyone. The child beside her looked at her grandmother with a bewildered face, not knowing what had happened, but seeing her so sad, he also burst into tears.

Originally, the villagers had no objection to the village chief's decision. After all, in this village, the highest official is the village chief, so his words carry a lot of weight. It can basically be said that in the village, his words are the final word.

However, when the villagers heard what Aunt Guihua and Mrs. Qian's family said, they began to hesitate.

The villagers began to whisper and discuss with each other, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, like a pot of boiling porridge.

At this time, Wang Ergou, the famous lazy man in the village, also walked over slowly, picking his teeth with a bamboo stick in his hand.

He looked at everyone, and then said without hesitation: "I don't agree either. Killing a pig for no reason, isn't that asking the pig to live longer?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around burst into laughter.

The village chief's face became even uglier. He glared at Wang Ergou, but didn't say much.

After all, arguing with such people at this time will only make things more complicated.

Butcher Zhang Yong couldn't stand it anymore, so he squeezed out from the crowd and described the incident of Su Yu helping to catch the thief that day. He also said that Su Yu was a scholar with a smart mind, and it would definitely be a good idea for him to follow Master Su in the future. He then mentioned that after castration, wood ash could be used to disinfect and stop bleeding.

He believed Su Yu when she said that the odor of pigs could be removed after castration. He had an inexplicable sense of trust in Su Yu.

Seeing that everyone was still discussing, Zhang Yong continued, "There are a total of fifty large pigs and thirty piglets. My brother Su has bought twenty of the large pigs and thirty of the piglets and will use them for castration. Whether it will succeed or not will be clear from the results.

Finally, he concluded: "There are still 30 large pigs left in the village. If you don't want to be castrated, take them home and raise them yourself."

When the villagers heard Zhang Yong say that this method was proposed by a scholar, they immediately fell silent.

They thought that this scholar was the Wenquxing star from heaven who had descended to earth, and there was not a single scholar in their entire village.

These peasants have an instinctive admiration and awe for scholars.

So, only the few troublemakers at the beginning were still shouting.

The village chief raised his dry hands to signal for silence.

Mrs. Qian and the others didn't dare to make any more noise. After all, they still had to stay in the village, so they had to give the village chief some face.

Village Chief Zhang said: "What Zhang Yong said is exactly what I wanted to say. Those who don't want to castrate the pigs can take them home and raise them by themselves.

After all, after the pigs have been castrated, there are many things that need to be taken care of, and raising them together makes it difficult to take care of them."

So in the end, Aunt Guihua's family, Aunt Qian's family, and the lazy man Wang Ergou each took two big pigs back home.

The other villagers expressed their willingness to trust the scholar and the village chief, and all agreed to castrate the pigs.

The village chief then stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.

In the Su Mansion in Taohua Lane, Su Yu took his people directly back to his own east courtyard.

He looked at the two siblings he brought back. They really didn't look like they were bought, but more like they were freshly dug out of the ground, covered in dust.

Xie An lowered his head, looked straight ahead and said nothing, which was quite polite.

The little girl Xie Nanxing looked at the clean courtyard, then at her own torn and dusty clothes. She felt uneasy and twisted her fingers unconsciously.

Su Yu clicked his tongue twice and said: "Xiao Wu, first arrange for someone to get some hot water, then find the maid in the mansion to borrow a set of clean clothes for Nanxing, and you can also find a set of clothes for Xie An."

"Yes," Xiaowu responded.

Su Yu waved his hand and said: "You two, go and wash up quickly. Everyone in our house likes cleanliness."

Although Xiaowu was very dissatisfied with being asked to serve two servants of the same status as him, he did not dare to show it openly, so he could only go down and make arrangements.

So, Xie An was arranged to sleep in the same bed with Xiao Wu in the servant's room in the east wing.

Xie Nanxing was arranged to stay alone in a newly cleaned side room next door. The room was not big, but it was enough for her to stay alone.

Even after they washed and put on their clothes, the two siblings still felt as if they were in another world.

Xie An and Xie Nanxing were the children of a famous wealthy businessman in Suzhou. Because their parents went out to burn incense and accidentally fell off a cliff, the two were adopted by their uncle and aunt.

The first two years were fine, but after they gradually took over the business from Xie's father, their aunt secretly found a human trafficker to sell them far away.

It would have been fine if they were bought by a wealthy family near Kyoto, but because his sister was young, thin and short, and could not do any heavy work, everyone bought them separately. That's why Xie An often ran away with his sister or caused trouble in the family that bought him.

When I saw them again, Su Yu was practicing calligraphy. His plump body was blessed with Su Yu's soul, but his temperament seemed very calm.

But the words written by him were like those of a three-year-old child, crooked and with thick strokes of ink.

Seeing that Su Yu was practicing seriously, the two of them did not dare to disturb him and stood silently in the study. When Su Yu looked up, a long time had passed.

Looking at the clean-washed boy, Su Yu was slightly stunned for a moment. The boy had very fair skin and a thin figure. The blue coarse linen clothes looked very good on him.

He had a pair of standard puppy dog eyes, but his expression was subconsciously wary like a wolf. His high nose bridge, thin lips, and clear jawline made him look very handsome, and his baby face was very cute. Su Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

The little girl is very different from her brother. She has single eyelids, slender pupils, and a high nose bridge. She looks like a queen, but she seems very shy.

"Gugugugu", the little girl covered her singing belly tightly, as if Su Yu could not hear it.

Su Yu looked at the two people who were as thin as straw. He asked Xiao Wu to take them to dinner and start serving them tomorrow.

Xiaowu brought the two of them to the kitchen and found the busy cook, Aunt Fang. He asked her to prepare two meals and watched the two of them finish their meals.

Afterwards, Xiaowu led the two of them to a secluded corner in the mansion - the woodshed.

After entering the woodshed, Xiao Wu turned to face the two of them and began to lecture them with a serious face: "Listen up, both of you! Since you have entered our mansion, you must abide by the rules and stay here honestly! Don't think of getting close to the young master by bypassing me, understand?

Xie An concealed the disdain in his eyes and responded "yes" with his sister.

Then, Xiaowu emphasized again: "Remember, here, everything must be done according to the rules. Only in this way can we ensure order and peace in the mansion."

He glanced at the two of them again, making sure they understood what he meant before looking away.

Finally, Xiao Wu waved his hand, indicating that the two could leave, and the two left reluctantly.

Xiaowu then ignored them and went to serve his master.

When Xiaowu had walked a long way, Xie An stretched out his warm palm, gently stroked his sister's hair, and whispered to comfort her: "Sister, don't be sad. I promise you that I will work hard to make a name for myself and protect you well in the future."

The little girl raised her head, her eyes gleaming with trust and hope, and she answered firmly: "I believe in my brother, and I believe in the young master. The young master is a good man, he won't treat us badly."

Hearing his sister say this, Xie An's mouth curled up slightly. He whispered in agreement: "Yes, the young master is indeed a good man."

However, he didn't think so in his heart. It would take time to verify whether this so-called young master was really as kind as his sister said.
