Because of his impatience, the uncle only confessed that his daughter had an accident along the way. His forehead was sweating from the anxiety, and he didn't say anything unnecessary. He just hurriedly led Sheji and Tonjuro to a lively street.

It was crowded with people, pointing and whispering to each other from time to time.

The uncle pushed through the crowd and led Sheji and the others to the innermost layer of the crowd.A young girl was tied to a post, dirty and bloodstained.The girl's mouth was also tied with a strip of cloth, and she kept roaring, which was frightening to hear.

"Hey, look, this little girl, hey, is fierce, and even hurt people maliciously."

"That's right. I also want to thank the person who tied her up!"

"Is she suffering from mad dog disease?"

"Who knows! The family doesn't like her very much, and let her run around and bite people, bah, how wicked!"

"Who will dare to marry such a girl in the future!"

"Even if she's not crazy, with her pockmarked face, puff puff...here, do you want it?"

"Hey~ Don't! Don't even want to be a little one for me. The son I will give birth to in the future will also be a pockmark!"

"Hmph, I'm disgusted by being a maid for me!"

"Hey, brother, your words are really vicious, hahaha..."

"This girl is..." Shezi asked.

"That's right, it's the villain's youngest daughter, Ruozi." The uncle replied, unable to bear to look directly at his daughter.

"Why is she tied up here? You are her father, so you just have the heart to watch your daughter being tied up and displayed in the street, being humiliated?" Tonjuro asked sharply, frowning.

"Why don't you untie her and take her home?" Sheji also frowned slightly, wanting to go forward.

Yin Julang grabbed Sheji, stepped forward, untied Lan Ruozi, and tore off the cloth strip that tied her mouth, and there was blood stained from her mouth on the cloth strip.

"After all, it's my daughter's house. It's not proper to be tied up in the street." Yin Juro said, hugging Lan Ruozi horizontally.

After Yin Juro loosened Lan Ruozi, she didn't make a fuss, and let Yin Juro hug him obediently.Shezi immediately took off his coat and covered it with the girl.

Seeing that the crazy girl was released, everyone kept making noises and making dissatisfied voices.But he was afraid that this lunatic would come to cause trouble for him, so he immediately dispersed.

The four of them returned to Lan's dyeing workshop amidst the crowd's dispersion.

Back at the dyeing workshop, Lan Ruozi settled down, Uncle Lan talked to Sheji and Yin Julang about what happened before.

"She ran away from home some time ago, and when she came back, she looked like this. She seemed to have hurt someone, so she was tied up on the street. The villain also wanted to take her daughter home, but she couldn't bear the public anger, so she had to ask for help. For the two of you." The uncle buried his head even lower.

Uncle Lan didn't know what happened to his little daughter, but Lan Ruozi disappeared the day after her sister Lan Hongbi was suddenly divorced.Asked his sister what happened, she didn't say anything.

"Dare to ask, why did Miss Lan get divorced?" Sheji asked.

"It's strange to say that the people who came to propose marriage were customers of our dyeing workshop. The one who came here and there is also familiar with Hongbi. The two of them are like-minded. He came to us to propose marriage, me and their mother, and Hongbi They are all very happy. It’s just that the good times don’t last long. For some reason, it’s almost time for them to get married. They suddenly said that they don’t want to get married and want to withdraw. Hongbi also suffered a big blow and locked herself in the room all day long. Not coming out either. After all, the girl was divorced, so it’s not good to say it, and she has a bad reputation. I thought, Ruozi is the closest to her, so I asked Ruozi to visit her. Unexpectedly, Ruozi disappeared the next day. Wait until When I came back, my neighbor told me that Ruozi injured someone and was treated like a lunatic and tied to a pillar on West Street."

"Who is the person who is going to marry your eldest daughter?" Tonjuro asked.

"It's a young cloth merchant, surnamed Wang."

"Is there any connection between this and those... strong men who came to the uncle's house before?" Sheji recalled that he almost died by the hands of one of them, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Little master, what do you mean, Boss Wang sent someone to smash my dyeing workshop?"

"No, no, no, it's just a guess and has no real evidence." Sheji shook his head quickly.

"It's not impossible." Tonjuro also expressed his opinion.

"However, Boss Wang sent someone to say that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage. My daughter is the victim. Why did you want to take revenge on us?" The uncle was at a loss.

"But it's a coincidence that he came to withdraw his marriage. Two days later, Ruozi left without saying a word. Two or three days later, today, those three men came to smash my dyeing workshop, and then Ruozi came back suddenly and was tied to a pillar."

The three fell silent at the same time.It seems that he still needs to ask Lan Ruozi for clarification.

It's just that Lan Ruozi huddled under the quilt, and refused to say anything. If she asked too much, she would show a fierce look in her eyes, as if she wished to smash the other party's corpse into thousands of pieces with her eyes.

Sheji had no choice but to retreat to Tojuro who was drinking tea and watching a play.

After a while, a woman and a woman entered the room. As soon as the woman came in, she jumped up and crawled on the edge of the bed, holding Lan Ruozi and crying, crying, "Ruozi, my poor daughter!" Ah, it's my mother who didn't protect you well, mother is useless..."

Compared to Mother Lan, sister Lan Hongbi is much calmer, she is calmer, but she is anxious and worried inside, but she stops moving forward, with an uncomfortable expression on her face.

Toujuro said something in Sheji's ear, Sheji nodded, and went out with Toujuro first.When passing by Lan Hongbi, Sheji put his palms together and bowed to her, saying: "Miss Lan, I have something to ask, please come with us."

Lan Hongbi nodded and followed her out the door.Before going out, he reluctantly glanced at his sister lying on the bed.

After Lan Hongbi went out, she gently closed the door.When Lan Ruozi heard the sound of closing the door, she poked her head out quietly and glanced at the door.

"Young master, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Lan Hongbi took Sheji and Tonjuro to a secluded place.

"You know something, don't you?" Torajuro asked straight to the point.

"I don't know what the young master is referring to?" Lan Hongbi slightly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"About your sister."

"I am not sure."

"I haven't asked what it is yet!" Tonjuro raised his eyebrows.

"Miss Lan, Lingmei has been avoiding speaking, and you are unwilling to tell us what you know, but this is not a long-term solution, and it is of no benefit to Lingmei." Sheji was a little anxious.

Lan Hongbi thought for a while, then sighed, "The reason why I didn't say it was because I didn't want to damage my sister's reputation. You have also seen my sister's appearance. She is about to reach her age. Some matchmakers came to make matchmaking, but until now, no one has sent a matchmaker to make a kiss."

"So she feels resentment?" Tonjuro asked.

"No, actually she doesn't have any expectations."

"Then why did Lingmei run away from home? I heard from your father that Lingmei came to see you again the night before she left home. Did something happen that night?" Sheji asked.

"As I said before, Ruozi's appearance is not very good. Someone has bullied her because of her appearance since she was a child. She is now at this age, but no one has come to propose marriage. Both father and mother are very anxious and want to persuade her Don't worry too much about Ruozi, but they always put on a look of "it's okay, you will definitely marry, and you will marry in a beautiful way" to Ruozi, telling Ruozi not to worry, but this makes Ruozi and her father There was a rift between me and my mother."

"Miss Lan, what do you think about this matter?" Sheji asked.

"I told her that if she can't get married, I won't marry either. It's good to stay with her at home and help father and mother dye cloth together."

"But you're still engaged, so she blames you for being engaged and abandoning her?" Torajuro asked.

"It's also a reason."

"Is there any other more important reason?" Tonjuro asked.

"I would like to hear more about it." Seeing that Lan Hongbi was asked about the "more important reason", Sheji forbears affectionately and hurriedly pursues the victory, not giving Lan Hongbi a chance to repent.

"I was really sad because I was divorced, so I stayed in the house all day. Ruozi came to me that night, and she said, it's fine if I don't marry that person, she doesn't want to leave me, she doesn't want me to marry Go somewhere else. She also said that I am the only one who treats her sincerely in this world, and if I get married, she will die." Speaking of this, Lan Hongbi's eyes darkened.

"It seems that your sister has feelings for you that go beyond sisterhood." Tonjuro hugged his chest.

"No! No!" Lan Hongbi said anxiously.

Sheji also suspected that the younger sister was jealous of her older sister, which resulted in a quarrel, and the younger sister ran away from home.Hearing this, Sheji didn't realize what kind of situation this pair of sisters was in. He didn't understand what kind of feelings Mr. Yin said "feelings beyond sisterhood". Some didn't know what to say, so he could only quietly Standing on the side, his eyes wandered between Tonjuro and Lan Hongbi.

Lan Hongbi went on to narrate: "My sister was bullied since she was a child. There are too many such things. My father and mother don't want to ruin the relationship with the neighbors because of this. It's just a fight between children. I don't want to meddle in Ruozi's affairs, so as a sister, I must protect her. I never felt that there was anything wrong with her feelings for me, until that night, what she said made me Something feels wrong."

"Then did you say anything after you heard it? Or did you do something?" Sheji who was on the side finally asked again.

"I...I..." Lan Hongbi covered her face and began to cry when she said this, "If I knew something like this would happen, I wouldn't have that attitude..."

"What did you do?" Tonjuro asked forcefully.

Seeing that Lan Hongbi was heartbroken, Sheji couldn't bear to ask any more questions.In any case, it was the elder sister who did something that caused the younger sister to run away from home, so it doesn't matter if you ask me now.

"I, I was shocked after hearing that, and let go of her hand. I really didn't know what to say at that time, so I didn't say anything. Ruozi asked me again if I would like to be with her In my whole life, I didn't say anything either. If I knew she would be so stubborn, I should have held her hand and said 'yes'." Lan Hongbi continued to cover her face and weep.

"Why do you embarrass yourself?" Sheji sighed, clasped his hands together, "Amitabha."

If a person gets warmth when he is alone and helpless, he will instinctively develop a good impression of the person who gives him warmth.It's just that this "good feeling" has developed too much, and sometimes it becomes a kind of forbidden emotion, and even becomes an emotion that is not tolerated by the world, especially when the other party is a close relative of oneself.
