Li Yu hid behind a stone and took a sneak peek. In front of the railing of the corridor, a petite girl was forced to the railing.
She pressed her palm firmly against the other person's chest and tilted her head. The middle-aged man opposite her was short, fat and ugly.
It seems that the owner of the house is bullying his maid. This kind of scene is not new in this era.
There were no slaves in the Song Dynasty. All domestic servants only signed contracts with their masters and had to leave when the time was up. It was an employment relationship.
Logically speaking, the master has no right to dispose of the maids at will. Unfortunately, a wealthy family has great power, and no one would even know if a maid is missing.
If this maid is alone again, she will be even more helpless. Generally, she can only be a knife and a fish for others.
Shortback pulled him and said, "Brother Carp, I've seen this kind of scene before. Don't worry, you'll be fine soon. It's just a little nauseating. Just close your eyes later. Look, there's a well there. Wait.
After they left, we went to fetch water."
Looking at the disgusted look on the black pig spirit's face, it seemed that he had seen this kind of drama before, but he didn't know before or after the transformation.
When Li Yu was hesitating whether to take action, the girl broke away from the owner, ran to the well with grief and anger, and was about to jump down.
The fat man was shocked. He dragged her up and threw her to the ground, "Bitch, how dare you!"
There was a loud snap, and the little maid fell to the ground with blood from the corner of her mouth.
Li Yu couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and looked at him in astonishment.
"We can't ignore it."
"Why? We're just here to fetch water. This is someone else's backyard. What does it have to do with us?"
Li Yu waved a fireball on his finger and said: "The education I received since childhood does not allow me to sit back and watch this situation, unless it is in a Japanese movie."
Short Mei didn't understand even half of the sentence, but he knew that his companion was going to make a comeback, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Oh, it's really troublesome."
The middle-aged head of the family pulled the maid aside, fearing that she would continue to jump into the well. He turned his back to the well mouth and began to untie his belt with a lewd smile.
The little maid took a few steps back on the ground in despair, closed her eyes, and burst into tears.
"Stop! Let that girl go!"
A sudden voice sounded like this in the middle of the night. The middle-aged man was so frightened that he took a step back and fell into the well with a bang.
Intermittent calls for help came from the mouth of the well. The little maid struggled to stand up, closed the wooden manhole cover next to her, and lay flat on it.
Li Yu hadn't lowered his raised hand yet, and was stunned in place.
This little girl is also a cruel person...
She raised her head and saw Li Yu in the light of the fire. The halo of the fireball enveloped him, which seemed like his own light. The girl murmured: "Are you a god who comes to save people in trouble?"
Contrary to Li Yu's expectation, this little maid looked like she was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but her figure was far beyond her age. Her clothes were disheveled, showing off her exquisite and graceful curves.
From the looks of it, he just looks more childish, probably around fourteen or fifteen years old.
Her accent is immature and astringent which is incompatible with her soft face. She has two double buns on her head and a small cinnabar mole in the corner of her left eye which makes her even more charming.
This little maid is so fierce and charming, both in figure and face.
When she stays, she seems to be seducing people...
When she cries, she seems to be seducing people...
When she is angry, she seems to be seducing people...
Even if you decide to die, when you are about to throw yourself into a well, it still seems like you are trying to seduce people...
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Li Yu comforted subconsciously. He might have forgotten that the little girl was still lying on the manhole cover.
"Brother Immortal, please take me away, otherwise my wife will beat me to death."
"this..."
Li Yu hesitated. If he didn't take the maid away, her fate might be worse than death.
If you take her away, how will you place her?
I am penniless, and now I am about to go to the mountains to hunt tigers, and I also have to help Old Man Zhang recruit apprentices...
Huh?
Take on a disciple?
She is the most truthful, kind and talented. Li Yu took a closer look and found that this little maid would rather die than obey. She must be the most truthful and sincere. She is so handsome and she is probably very kind. Her eyes don't look like an idiot. The key is
It's because she has a clear distinction between love and hate, and her behavior of holding on to the manhole cover is very harsh on her own temper.
"Please, take me away."
The little maid saw Li Yu's hesitation, and she begged pitifully. The voice was soft and charming, and as soon as it came out, the man's body would soften in half.
Ever since she was sold by her parents, she has endured the beatings and scoldings from her wife and the coveting of her master every day. She has had enough.
"This...it's not impossible, it's just..."
Li Yu was hesitant and had a hard time making a decision. He was afraid that taking her would be a trouble, and he felt guilty if he didn't take her with him. After all, he might harm her to a point where her life would be worse than death.
Shortback didn't know which room he got into. He filled a gourd and a water bag and hung it on his body. He also held a piece of watermelon in his hand. When he came out, he gnawed on the melon and asked, "Brother Carp, what's the matter?"
Aren’t you leaving?”
This kid looked like a veteran at first glance, and considering his fear of humans, Li Yu even wondered if he had been caught and almost killed and eaten.
The little maid on the manhole cover turned around and saw a monster with a body and a pig's face, two fangs extended very long, and the mouth was red as if it was blood. She immediately fainted from fright.
Li Yu had no choice but to step forward and hold her in his arms, saying, "Let's go."
Shortback was shocked and said: "What are you doing with her? Could it be that...your water tribe's monsters are also cannibals?"
Forgetting tigers eating people, he never imagined that carps can also eat people...
The black pig spirit suddenly became embarrassed and said: "We and the evil tiger are not the same monsters. You should listen to my brother's advice. Eating people is only a temporary pleasure and will cause endless troubles. It is not the right way."
"There is spiritual energy and martial arts in our cave. You can practice without eating people."
"If you eat a human being and are seen by the masters of the human race, they will be able to kill you in one fell swoop."
"It's easy to become addicted to cannibalism. Just like an evil tiger, you can't control it after eating one and wanting another."
...
Unable to stand the black pig demon's earnest advice, Li Yu said: "Who said I wanted to eat her? I want to take on a disciple."
This little girl has learned what Lao Zhang did, treating illnesses and saving people everywhere. Isn’t she a little living Bodhisattva? She is so kind. But she must wear a veil in the future, otherwise her appearance will easily cause misunderstandings.
Although he changed Lao Zhang's alchemy to look more like a killing technique, in fact, his set of talisman and seal skills were originally used to cure illnesses, save lives, and drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.
The little apprentice he took on for Lao Zhang was very light. He held the little maid on his shoulders and didn't feel tired at all.
"Crazy, you must be crazy..."
The black pig demon's short back shook his head and led Li Yu to the entrance of the tunnel. After entering, he filled it with soil again. It was still the same piece of soil, but with a small crack that was difficult to find unless you looked carefully.
There was nothing strange in the whole yard, except that the master Zhang Dahu had drowned, and a little maid named Jin Lian was missing.
