?Jian Xiao stood in front of the window and looked out. In the garden, a woman was kneeling on the thorns. She was only wearing a thin shirt. Blood could be vaguely seen on her legs. The old bustard was standing there, drinking tea. Two people were standing next to her.
The woman was taking turns slapping the woman. The woman was crying intermittently.
Jian Xiao couldn't bear it. Hey, the old bustard seemed kind on weekdays, but now he seemed to be a ruthless person.
"I didn't sell you to pretend to be a lady every day. You can't even sing to a customer. You can't dance. You just cry when you can't move. The customers are just for laughs! If you want to cry, will you look at your own yellow-faced woman?
"
The yelling and cursing that followed became increasingly unpleasant, but the woman's cries gradually became quieter. Jian Xiao couldn't bear to listen, so she closed the window. How difficult is it for a woman in a brothel to have a good tomorrow? She originally wanted to go out and relax, but her mood was also dampened.
messed up
Tuo Jinglie went out before it got dark. Jian Xiao wanted to light a candle, but found that there were none. She had to go out and ask for some elsewhere.
She just opened the door and found a woman standing at the door. Her back was very lonely. When she heard the voice, she turned around with a beautiful look. Her face was full of tears and there were injuries on her face and hands. Jian Xiao recognized that this was the woman who was beaten in the afternoon.
The woman smiled faintly when she saw Jian Xiao, and Jian Xiao also stepped forward, "I have some medicine in the house."
The woman brushed the bruise and said, "No, thank you, sister." When she spoke, she was polite and elegant. She didn't look like she was born here, but she seemed to have a good education.
"What's your name? Why are you here?"
"My name is Deng Jingyue, father-in-law, and I was taken here."
"I think you don't suffer like ordinary girls." Jian Xiao asked her, "Do you have candles in your room? Come to my room and chat."
Deng Jingyue turned around and went back, took out a package and handed it all to Jian Xiao, "Sister, take these things as you like."
Jian Xiao felt something was wrong, so she opened the package and saw that there were several pieces of jewelry inside, which were in good condition. "You don't need these? Keep them for later."
"I'm afraid there is no future!"
Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment and looked at Deng Jingyue with a look of determination on her face and a look of absence, "I can't survive the trip to Huangquan early tonight. Maybe I can find a good family."
"Why did Jing Yue say this?"
"To tell you the truth, sister, I have been here for several months and I haven't even had a single customer. I can't cuddle with other men like other sisters, and even pretend to smile. I was tricked by the madam, and there were a few in the beginning.
A customer saw that I was a girl from a good family and wanted to see me, but I refused to obey and gradually there was no one around. Now when I go downstairs to pick up the guests, even my laughter is uglier than my tears, and no one will even care about me."
"Isn't it a good thing not to accept guests?" Jian Xiao asked
"She said I was just an idler, and I was trying to save her money. If I couldn't earn a cent tonight, she would send me to the torture chamber."
"Gordon chamber?" Jian Xiao is particularly unfamiliar with this word.
"Sister is a lucky person, so of course I don't know." Deng Jingyue smiled bitterly on her pale face, "Girls who don't have guests will be sent there. It is full of various utensils for guests to choose and enjoy."
"Isn't this just s.m.? It's too much!" Jian Xiao blurted out
Deng Jingyue didn't know what she was talking about, so she just said to herself, "Tonight, if I don't have a silver reward, the madam will send me in." She lifted up her skirt.
Both legs and knees were covered in black and blue, and the same was true for the upper part. "How can I withstand the torture of those animals with my body like this?"
Jian Xiao didn't expect that this place, which looked so bright and feasting, turned out to be so dark and dirty. "Then why don't you leave?"
Deng Jingyue sneered, "I am the daughter of a prison officer. I always live like this wherever I go. I can't live or die. Unless God opens his eyes one day and someone is willing to take me in. But I don't even have guests. How can anyone be willing to ransom me?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Girls, come out to pick up the guests!" the madam's voice sounded downstairs.
Deng Jingyue was shaken, and stood up sadly, as if rushing to the execution ground, "Thank you sister Jingyue for being able to complain to others before she was alive, so I left her things as a thought." After saying that, she stood up and walked out.
"Jingyue!" Jian Xiao shouted
"What are your orders, sister?"
"Do you want to survive?" Jian Xiao asked
"Even if I don't want to live, I don't want to die like that," Deng Jingyue said
"Let me give you a trick," Jian Xiao said
There was a hint of brightness in Deng Jingyue's dim eyes
Jian Xiao stood up and said, "As long as you do what I say."
Deng Jingyue quickly dressed up. A beauty is always beautiful no matter how hard she puts it. Jian Xiao looked at the newly dressed Deng Jingyue and said, "Do you remember what I said?"
She nodded, "Don't laugh at everything and don't tolerate them. But, does this work? I usually laugh to no avail. Is it okay not to laugh?"
Jian Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Based on my analysis, don't worry."
The singing and dancing started again outside, while Jian Xiao was sitting in the room reading a book, but she couldn't see it in her heart. Although she patted her chest and assured Deng Jingyue, she really didn't know if her idea would work.
Suddenly I saw a piece of paper on the desk with a few lines of cursive writing on it. Fortunately, I could understand traditional Chinese characters. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to read: "After one month, you will be free."
Will you be free in one month? Jian Xiao put a smile on her face. She heard that the emperor of Biga Kingdom was seriously ill. If a group of young maids were recruited for the wedding party, wouldn't it be nice to go to the palace to find something if they could catch up with it?
Easy? I'll never see this bastard again.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiao didn't know why, but felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She couldn't explain the reason.
Suddenly a dark figure passed by the door, "Who?" Jian Xiao asked
No one spoke, maybe it was a guest who drank too much? Jian Xiao didn't pay attention, but there was a rustling sound at the door.
Jian Xiao stood up and looked out the window. She felt that the black shadow had been stopping in front of her door. What kind of cat and dog could it be? Jian Xiao covered the candle with her clothes. The room became dark. She tiptoed to the door and waited carefully.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Just when Jian Xiao was about to give up, her door was pushed open, and a man walked in. Jian Xiao stretched out his legs quietly, and the man fell down with an "oops" sound.
Pulling off her clothes, she pointed the light at the visitor's face
"Is it you?" Jian Xiao looked at this person, the madam's best friend, Liu Hua
Liu Hua said with a shy smile, "Oh, girl, aren't you asleep?" Those ruthless eyes looked up and down at Jian Xiao.
"I didn't sleep. Did I disappoint you?" Jian Xiao said, "What's the reason for sneaking up on me?"
"I just came here to see if the girl is resting. Mom asked me to take more care of the girl." Liu Hua stood up and looked at Jian Xiao's graceful figure, wishing he could drool over her.
Jian Xiao frowned, "Tell mom thank you later and I'm going to rest." Jian Xiao issued an eviction order
But Liu Hua didn't seem to hear it, "When did the girl fall asleep?"
"Does it have anything to do with you whether I sleep or not?" Jian Xiao reached out to push him, and Liu Hua walked backwards out of the room, covering the place where Jian Xiao had touched him with his hands, with a look on his face.
After closing the door, Jian Xiao let out a long breath. With such people around, she really didn't know if she could survive another month.
