The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating
Chapter 79 Rescue
Li Anqi's heart tightened.
Holding the fire stick in both hands, he mustered his courage and rushed forward in a flustered manner!
Nourishes—
"Ah!"
A smell of burnt meat and a shrill scream appeared at the same time.
Yi Laoda had a large, dark dent on his chest from the burn.
Enraged, Yi Laoda slapped the fire stick out of Li Anqi's hand, his entire upper body turning as red as a monkey's bottom.
"Are you really that hot?!" Old Yi roared.
Li Anqi hurriedly picked up a half-burnt fire poker from the woodpile and placed it between himself and Boss Yi.
When Yi Laoda saw Li Anqi pick up the fire stick again, fear was clearly evident on his face.
He raised his hands, feigning weakness, and said, "Fine, I'll let you go. You acted impulsively."
"Fine, open the door!" Li Anqi said sternly.
"I'll go get the keys..."
Boss Yi turned around and went back to his room. When he came out again, he was holding a key in his hand.
Li Anqi led Qiuyue to the side to make way for him.
With a droopy eyebrow and a timid expression, Yi Laoda slowly passed by Li Anqi.
Li Anqi dared not let his guard down and kept a close eye on Yi Laoda's every move.
Just as Boss Yi was about to pass by Li Anqi, he suddenly glanced at Li Anqi with a sly look and pounced on him!
Although Yi Laoqi was imposing, his movements were too slow and clumsy due to his obesity.
Li Anqi nimbly dodged it.
Yi Laoda missed his target and, unable to stop himself, fell directly onto the fire where the medicine was being boiled.
The flames ignited his underwear, and the flames immediately enveloped his entire buttocks.
"Ahhh!"
Old Master Yi screamed repeatedly, drenched in sweat.
His abdomen was scorched by the firewood, and his underwear was also on fire.
Ignoring the pain, he frantically patted the flames on his pants, jumping around like a clown.
Yi Laoda jumped into the vegetable garden in the yard and stepped on a hoe that had fallen to the ground. Not only was half of his right heel cut off by the hoe, but the stick of the hoe also hit him on the head.
Bang!
Yi Laoda's right foot was bleeding profusely, his lower body was burned black and unrecognizable, and his body was emitting smoke as he collapsed in the vegetable garden.
Seeing that Boss Yi had died just like that.
The girls' eyes didn't show fear; instead, they held a hint of smugness and relief.
Li Anqi was still in a daze and stood there for a while before he came to his senses.
"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish; this is your retribution."
After Li Anqi finished speaking, he threw away the fire stick in his hand with trembling hands, and turned around to wipe away the tears on Qiuyue's face.
The girl with the hoarse voice brought over a bowl of warm medicinal soup and handed it to Qiuyue.
Li Anqi and Qiuyue looked at the girl with suspicion.
The girl glanced gloomily at Boss Yi's corpse and said.
"This is a contraceptive soup. The master was afraid that if we got pregnant, we wouldn't be able to work, and that it would cost money to raise the child, so he wouldn't let us get pregnant. Some people who drank the soup and still got pregnant by accident would be hung up and beaten in the stomach until they bled. After being beaten like that, they would lose most of their lives, and it was uncertain whether they would see the sun rise tomorrow. Many people here have experienced this."
Li Anqi was terrified upon hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Qiuyue took the medicine and drank it down without saying a word.
But this small bowl of herbal soup could not erase the damage it had already caused her.
A layer of gray covered Qiuyue's eyes, and the bright and innocent eyes of the past could no longer be seen.
Looking at Qiu Yue, Li Anqi once again felt the cruelty of being toyed with by fate.
If only I could just ignore Qiuyue's feelings for Li Anxiu.
If only I hadn't let Qiuyue return to the Jingguo Mansion back then.
If only I had noticed the crisis sooner, I could have prevented the Jingguo Mansion from falling into disaster.
If only I could see the Emperor sooner and get to the human market sooner...
But what's done is done, and there's no going back.
Despite his heartache, Li Anqi went to the side of Boss Yi's body, picked up the key from the ground, and opened the courtyard gate.
"You can go home now," she said calmly.
None of the women in the courtyard moved; they all stared at Li Anqi.
The girl with the hoarse voice said, "We are all unfortunate people without fathers or mothers. Most of us were sold into servitude to bury our fathers, or were bought by masters in brothels or human markets. We have nowhere else to go but here."
Li Anqi felt a surge of emotion.
Although her soul belongs to a different era than theirs.
But as a woman herself, she deeply understands the pain and injustice they experience.
“I know of a charity hall that takes in homeless orphans and teaches them skills to make a living and become self-reliant. If you have nowhere else to go, you can go there.”
After a while of silence.
“I’m willing to go.” A girl suddenly stood up.
"I would like that too."
"I want to go too..."
One by one, the girls stepped forward, their eyes resolute, filled with hope for the future.
"it is good."
Li Anqi entered the house and found everyone's indentures.
She forced herself to control her trembling hands and wrote a letter to Shan Xingwen with pen and paper.
Afterwards, she carefully put away Qiuyue's indenture, went to the courtyard, and handed the letter, the key, and the rest of the indentures to the hoarse-voiced girl.
“Go to Shan’s Cloth Shop on Hongrong Street and give him this letter. He will take you in.”
The girl with the hoarse voice handed everything over to another girl.
Seeing that the girls were all staring at him without saying a word.
Li Anqi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Thank you so much!"
With teary eyes, the girls followed the hoarse-voiced girl and knelt on the ground in unison, kowtowing to Li Anqi.
Li Anqi was taken aback. A complex feeling she had never experienced before welled up from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her body with overwhelming force.
“Go,” she said calmly.
The girls got up and followed the girl who had taken the letter as they left the courtyard.
The girl with the hoarse voice remained kneeling in place, showing no intention of leaving.
Li Anqi asked her, "Why aren't you leaving?"
The girl with the hoarse voice stared at Li Anqi with a gloomy look in her eyes and said calmly.
