After stretching, Zhenliang opened the car curtain and found that the middle-aged man driving in front was gone.
He signaled Zhenqi to jump off the carriage first, and Zhenliang jumped off next.
At this moment, she and Zhenqi were in a simple courtyard. The house was low and dilapidated, like an ordinary people's home.
To the left and right of the simple hut, there are two tall buildings of three or four stories standing in sharp contrast. From the outside, they look like a restaurant rather than a residence.
Zhenliang secretly thought that this might be the uncle's home.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the house was opened by a middle-aged man from the inside. Zhenliang took out the money from his bag and asked with a smile, "Uncle, is this your home?"
The middle-aged man nodded and did not reach out to take the money that Zhenliang handed over. Instead, he said inexplicably, "You don't need to give me the money."
Zhenliang thought that the middle-aged man was generously planning to waive her travel expenses, so she couldn't help but gratefully handed over the money and said, "Uncle, we agreed it would be five taels, you're welcome."
The middle-aged man pointed to his dilapidated house and asked, "Are you pitying my humble house?"
Zhenliang quickly retracted his outstretched hand and hurriedly explained, "Uncle, I didn't mean that."
The middle-aged man's kind face suddenly sank, and his harmless eyes shot out a ruthless light, "I don't accept your money, not because I don't want your money, but because all your money will be my money."
Zhenliang's heart trembled suddenly. She stepped back and stared at the middle-aged man. Looking at his fierce expression and listening to his arrogant tone, it seemed that she was unlucky enough to meet a gangster with a human face and an animal heart?
The sheep was already in the tiger's mouth, and the middle-aged man didn't want to talk to Zhenliang in a roundabout way anymore, so he said straightforwardly, "The most prosperous restaurant in Ai County is on the left next door to my house, and the most prosperous Jiyuan in Ai County is on the right. I decided to sell you to
Go to Jiyuan on the right and save the money to buy a decent house in the future, what do you think?"
The corner of Zhenliang's mouth twitched slightly, understanding that she might have encountered a gangster who specializes in abducting women.
After weighing the heavy baggage, Zhenliang tried his best to calmly ask, "What price can I sell it for?"
"As little as a hundred taels, as much as a thousand taels."
Zhenliang lowered his head and saw that he was dressed, and asked in confusion, "Uncle, have you made a mistake? I am a man, how could I be sold to Jiyuan? How about you sell me to the restaurant next door and let me be a waiter?
The waiter, right?"
The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully, "How much money can you make by selling yourself as a waiter? Girl, do you think that if you wear men's clothes and speak in a rough voice, I won't be able to tell whether you are a boy or a girl? Unless you change your whole face
Cover them up, otherwise, I can immediately tell that you are a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old just by looking at your big, watery eyes."
Zhenliang really regretted wearing the scarf. If she had known this, she would have just worn a hat.
"Even if you are not a woman, if a man can look as handsome as a man, Jiyuan on the right will also accept it, and the price will definitely be good." The middle-aged man added.
Zhenliang was worried that she had heard wrongly. What did he mean? How could Jiyuan accept men? Accept men to dress as women?
It's not like she didn't expect that no matter what era, there is always a habit of cutting sleeves, but she has never heard that places that have always provided women's services will also provide men's services. That's not a mess.
?So she couldn't believe it.
"The Jiyuan on the right has a very nice name, it's called Renjun Caicai. Renjun Caicai, the name is not only majestic, but also worthy of its name. As long as the customer who comes in has money, no matter what kind of request he has, he can be satisfied. That is,
It is said that although "You Can Pick" mainly focuses on women, it also has young men who are needed by customers with special fetishes."
Hearing this, Zhenliang felt a chill in his heart. This famous Jiyuan in Ai County had seriously tarnished the beautiful charm of the words "anyone can pick it up".
Zhenliang was suddenly glad that she was not a man, because her face hidden in the scarf was really not suitable for providing female services. Maybe male customers with special habits would not care about men's looks, but male customers without special habits would definitely like beautiful ones.
woman.
Thinking of this, Zhenliang untied his scarf, took it off from his neck, looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "Do you think I can get a good price in Jiyuan with my looks? I'm afraid I can't even get in."
Go?"
Seeing Zhenliang's appearance, the middle-aged man was indeed shocked by her ugly appearance. He had "slaughtered" countless people. This was the first time he had made a mistake. The young woman in front of him felt as beautiful as a fairy with her face covered. He took off the black cloth
It's so ugly.
Zhenliang saw the middle-aged man's shock and disappointment in his eyes, and he was very happy. He must have let her go if she gave him more money.
"Uncle, I still have five hundred taels of silver notes and twenty taels of silver in my bag. I will give you all the banknotes and only keep twenty taels of silver as payment. Can you please let me live?" Zhenliang said sincerely.
Requesting, I imagine there aren’t many hostages who are as generous and knowledgeable as she is, right?
The middle-aged man did not speak, but first looked at Zhenliang up and down, then walked around her, and finally stopped and said, "Although it will definitely not sell for the price I expected, half of it should be
Can be sold."
Zhenliang's eyes widened speechlessly, "How can I sell it like this? Uncle, are you kidding me to flatter me?"
Could it be that this man is crazy about money and wants to sell her to Jiyuan to be a sweeper and laundry worker?
The middle-aged man replied with a half-smile, "People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and so are the girls who can be picked by you. The girls who are picked by you can be divided into many types and grades, such as by appearance, by figure, or by a combination of appearance and figure.
points. Take your pick. Sometimes the most popular ones are not the girls with the most beautiful looks, but the girls with the best figures. Some customers like to act in the dark to add interest, so they have extremely high requirements for the girls' figures, but not for their looks.
Have an indifferent attitude.”
"What you want to say is that there is a kind of girl like me who is not beautiful at all but has a very graceful figure and is extremely rare among customers?"
The middle-aged man looked at Zhenliang with a childish look, and nodded, "In my opinion, your figure can be ranked among the best, so I think I can still sell you at a good price."
Zhenliang bit her lip, thinking about how to escape from this man's clutches, but before she could think of a way out, Zhenqi, who had been following silently behind her, seemed to have understood their conversation, or maybe she was aware of the middle-aged man's bad intentions.
, suddenly and fiercely lunged at the middle-aged man.
As if he was already on guard, the middle-aged man suddenly took out a short knife from behind that he had been holding for a long time. The moment Zhenqi approached him, the short knife sharply stabbed it in the chest.
This scene happened too fast, cruelly and dazzlingly. When the red blood flowed out of Zhenqi's body, Zhenliang was so frightened that his whole body shivered. At the same time, he suddenly thought of what the middle-aged man said on the road last night. He
He said he was once a hunter and had killed countless wolves.
