Chapter 515: The Past in the Black Alley
The Black Alley is a place where you can eat people without spitting out their bones, and in a physical sense, you can eat people without spitting out their bones.
There is a lot of singing and dancing in Di'an City. Every time you walk a few blocks, you can see policemen wearing white tiger uniforms holding knives and patrolling the streets jokingly. But the black alley is different. Many people come here every day, and many people mysteriously disappear here every day.
Everything that happens inside is approved by the higher-ups.
Di'an City is too prosperous. This prosperity attracts many people with lofty ideals, but it also attracts some "garbage". In order to prevent "garbage" from running around, Di'an City needs such a place to centrally store "garbage" .
Chaos and disorder seem to be the norm in the dark alleys. There are gang fights here every day, and people die in the conflicts every day. Things like forcing girls into prostitution and killing people on the street are common here.
And little Lou Ji, who was only nine years old, came to this chaotic place.
Xu Yuan asked her what she was doing in a place like that, and why she didn't continue fishing in Di'an City.
Lou Ji’s answer is very ridiculous.
She said that she was frightened at that time, thinking that the big shots in Di'an City were all the same as Xu Yinhe, so she wanted to go to these places to accumulate experience and strength before competing with these big shots in Di'an City.
A very goal-oriented idea, but also very naive.
But it is rare that it fits the mind of a nine-year-old girl.
But obviously, Xiao Lou Ji made two wrong judgments after entering Beijing.
In the first month of entering the dark alley, after spending all the money she had brought into the capital, little Lou Ji naturally ended up living on the streets.
Like those beggars who have no father or mother, they make a pitiful living by occasionally donating charity and rummaging through garbage and eating available food.
The reason is very simple and very desperate.
The chaos in the dark alleys is a fact, but there are no rules. If it can exist in Di'an City for hundreds of years, it must have its own set of rules.
The path to promotion in the dark alley is indeed much easier than outside. Regardless of seniority, anyone with outstanding fists and brains can get ahead. But the problem is that Lou Ji is a girl.
The top level of Dayan never discriminates against women, and even the middle level treats women equally, but the bottom level is a completely patriarchal society.
This is the preference for sons over daughters that is rooted in the bones of the people of Dayan.
No one was willing to give her a chance to prove herself.
Fortunately, when little Lou Ji was about to starve to death, a kind-hearted old woman took her in.
The old woman took little Lou Ji with her and cared for her like a granddaughter.
She would change clothes for Little Lou Ji, give her the only meat she had, and also quietly add a blanket to Little Lou Ji in the desolation of winter nights.
In this chaotic world, she gave her the warmth she had not seen for a long time.
January passed like this.
The originally thin body gradually regained its vitality. When little Lou Ji once thought that she would spend a long time here like this, she was almost sold by this kind-hearted old woman.
That day, little Lou Ji was washing clothes in the yard with a clothes pestle when she suddenly heard a noise outside the door.
That was the old woman coming back, but through the open courtyard door, in addition to the old woman returning home, little Lou Ji also saw a few men in smart clothes.
They are not uniform, but there is a bamboo leaf python embroidered on the chest.
Almost instantly, little Lou Ji realized what was going to happen next.
After staying in the dark alley for two months, she recognized it as the symbol of the Green Snake Society, a small gang in the dark alley.
But looking at the scene in front of her, little Lou Ji only showed a hint of confusion on her face.
Like instinct, when a crisis comes, she will know exactly what to do.
When the woman came in front of her, little Lou Ji asked the old woman what the uncle outside did.
And just as little Lou Ji thought, the old woman kindly expressed her guess.
The strong men outside were here to pick her up.
There was no panic, no anger, no fear, just a hint of sadness.
But this time, she didn't hide her emotion. She blinked her eyes and asked the woman pitifully, grandma, do you not want me anymore?
The old woman still rubbed her head kindly and whispered the lies she compiled.
The mother-in-law and daughter talked quietly for a while. Lou Ji suddenly stood up and threw down the pestle, ran back to the back room with a crying face, and slammed the wooden door.
Like an angry little girl.
The old woman followed suit as expected.
Lou Ji knew that she was really beautiful, beautiful enough to increase these people's tolerance for her.
They didn't know whether they would become the hostess after entering the Green Snake Society.
Because of Xiao Lou Ji's action of closing the door, the old woman subconsciously opened the door ajar when entering.
Slowly walking behind the little girl who was carrying a heavy burden on her back, the old woman gently stroked her head, pulled her to stand up slowly, and spoke earnestly.
[Girl, it’s not that your mother-in-law doesn’t want you anymore. She’s doing this for your own good. He’s a great man. It’s your blessing to be interested in you! Even if you don’t want to go, you still have to think about your mother-in-law. If you don’t go, those gangsters outside will throw your mother-in-law into the Zhongshui River. If you go there, your mother-in-law will come to see you often.]
This was what the old woman said to little Lou Ji at that time, and it was also her last words.
Because before she could finish her words, Little Lou Ji stabbed the old woman's defenseless neck with a wooden thorn she had just retrieved.
Even if the door is open from his location, he cannot be seen outside the courtyard door.
At the moment when the wooden thorn penetrated the throat, the kind eyes of the old woman were obviously stunned for a moment.
During this moment of daze, Xiao Lou Ji had already pulled out the wooden thorn and stabbed it again.
Xiao Lou Ji knew very well that people would burst out some unusual power when they died. Although the old woman was old, she was not a child who could resist. After reacting, the old woman might push her down, or knock over some objects in the old house to make noises. The door was only half-closed, and the strong man outside was waiting. She could not make any sound and could only kill the other party quickly in this way.
The position where the wooden thorn was inserted was the experience she summed up.
If it was stabbed from here, the blood would choke the throat, so that the other party could only make a subtle "gugu" sound.
And this time, there was no accident.
"Gugu. Gu."
The warm blood flowing from the neck soaked Xiao Lou Ji's slender palm, dripping through her fingers and falling to the ground.
Because of the panic, the old woman did not feel any pain, which did not affect her efforts to grab the wooden thorns that the other party stabbed, but it was too late. She could only watch the other party's small hands constantly piercing and pulling out of her neck.
Two times.
Three times.
Four times.
Five times.
Looking at the old woman who was gradually limp and powerless with desperate eyes, Xiao Lou Ji was a little sad.
She was very happy here, and she actually wanted to give up.
Because revenge is really too tiring.
Thinking in her heart, she used her thin little body to support the fallen old woman, and then gently put her on the ground with her hands and feet, and then said in a crying voice.
[Then, mother-in-law, can you help me change my clothes and cut my hair for the last time? 】
The voice turned from loud to soft, ensuring that the strong man outside the front half could hear it.
But the old woman did not respond.
There were only some weak "coo.coo." sounds of mosquitoes and flies trying to ask for help.
But unfortunately, it was in vain.
In the old woman's horrified eyes, little Lou Ji calmly stepped over her body and completely closed the half-open door.
The dying old woman watched helplessly as Lou Ji slowly found the deposit from her body, and then watched Lou Ji change the blood-stained cloth into a rough linen shirt, and stain her body with the charcoal ash in the earthen kang.
Everything was in order.
While doing these things, Lou Ji was also thinking about the future.
At first, she did want to rely on her good-looking face to enter the Jiaofangsi, but this idea had long changed because the road was blocked.
When her family changed drastically, she was demoted to a lowly person, and the monster attacking the prison car directly made her an illegal household.
The household registration system of Dayan is quite complete. Without official documents, even if she took the initiative to find the Jiaofangsi, there is a high probability that she will not be accepted.
Although with her appearance, she can also enter some brothels with deep backgrounds to be trained as a courtesan, but the problem is that there is an essential difference between brothels and Jiaofangsi.
The top prostitutes have a lot of autonomy in the atmosphere of places like Jiaofangsi.
If they say they don't want to sleep, they will most likely not sleep.
Before, Xu Yuan went to Jiaofangsi in the imperial city, even though he almost demolished the restaurant and said he wanted to be Li Zhaoyuan's adoptive father, he failed.
Although the atmosphere of the brothel is also played, it is more about fun.
As long as you are powerful enough and spend enough money, you can force the prostitutes to have sex even if they don't want to.
Xiao Louji didn't even want to go to the brothel, let alone a big garbage in the garbage dump of a black alley.
She knew very well that if she was dragged by such a person, she would most likely struggle at the bottom of this chaotic black alley for the rest of her life.
However, because of this,
Xiao Louji successfully unlocked her first escape career at the age of nine.
And it was not until two years later, when the time was completely ripe and she personally designed to destroy the Green Snake Society, that Xiao Louji's life returned to peace.
But at the same time, she also entered the vision of some people.
