Chapter 338
Feeling the movement behind her, Lingyi turned around and quickly gave Mo Wuchen a hand, so that he didn't hit the ground.
Mo Wuchen quickly thanked: "Thank you, sister."
"No, just give me money."
"..."
Mo Wuchen, who knew Lingyi's hobbies, gave her the remaining one thousand taels. Lingyi accepted it happily, then took out a small stack of banknotes from her arms, counted out nine hundred taels and handed it to him.
Mo Wuchen: "???"
Ayayi explained: "The bigger the job, the more money you get."
Looking at Lingyi's back gradually walking away, Mo Wuchen only felt that Lingyi's temperament was really strange, so he quickly took two steps to catch up.
About an hour later, Chongming Chonghui and eight guards had carefully searched the village inside and out.
In addition to tens of thousands of taels of banknotes and treasures, they also found a dozen good-looking girls from the backyard. Their bodies were all dirty, their eyes were full of timidity, and they seemed to have suffered. persecution.
A cold look flashed through Lingyi's eyes, but her voice was deliberately soft, "You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you. I have killed all the gangsters. You can go home."
All the women looked at each other for a long time before one of them boldly said, "Can we really...can we leave?"
Ayayi nodded, "You can each leave with one hundred taels of silver as travel expenses. If the journey is far, my people will take you back."
After saying this, Chongming immediately took the banknotes from the pile of found property and distributed them to the women to verify that what Lingyi said was true.
Upon seeing this, the woman who had just asked the question couldn't help but burst into tears. It had been a full month since she was caught in the cottage, and she lived like a prostitute every day. She really couldn't stand it anymore. If it wasn't for Thinking that her parents were still waiting for her to return, she had committed suicide long ago.
Fortunately, she finally got hope.
A cry started, and the whole courtyard was filled with cries.
Mo Wuchen's eyes turned red when he heard the miserable cry, but Lingyi's face never showed much expression.
Let Chongming deal with the issue of the ownership of these girls, while he walked towards the outside of the village.
The smell of blood in the cottage was so strong that Ayayi felt like her stomach was churning, and she was so sick that she was about to retching.
This is the illness left behind by Lingyi when she bloodbathed the Shadow Pavilion, and there is still no solution.
Mo Wuchen looked at Lingyi's back for a while, then turned around and went into the house, filled a water bag with water and chased in the direction Lingyi left.
Chongming looked at Chonghui: "What's going on?"
Zhonghui frowned, "Could it be that he is Sister Lingyi's... suitor?"
Hearing Chonghui's guess, all the guards swallowed subconsciously, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same: It turns out that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This young boy is really brave.
On the other side, Mo Wuchen searched at the entrance of the cottage for a long time before he found Lingyi sitting on the stone surface.
Ayayi was looking steadily into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mo Wuchen approached Lingyi, but when he was still ten steps away from her, he saw Lingyi suddenly turned her head, her eyes were cold, which was the opposite extreme from the greedy and playful look just now.
Mo Wuchen was startled, but he still moved forward boldly and said tentatively: "Sister Qingyi, I just noticed that you covered your stomach. Is your stomach uncomfortable?
Drink some water and you should feel better. "
Because he didn't know Lingyi's name, Mo Wuchen called her based on the color of her clothes.
Seeing that Lingyi had no intention of agreeing, Mo Wuchen continued: "Don't worry, I have cleaned the water bag and it is clean."
Lingyi still didn't speak, just pursed her lips and looked at Mo Wuchen's face. After a long time, she said, "Well, bring it over."
Mo Wuchen was overjoyed, trotted forward without any worries, and then delivered the water bag to Lingyi like a treasure.
Before letting go, he thoughtfully opened the lid.
Ayayi took it and took a sip. The water was warm and felt good in her stomach.
Seeing that Lingyi stopped talking again, Mo Wuchen, who felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, asked in a low voice: "Sister Qingyi, are you... not happy?"
Ayayi didn't respond and continued to support her chin with one hand and look forward.
Mo Wuchen thought for a long time, then handed Ling Yi the nine hundred taels she had just found for him from his arms, "Sister, I will give you the money, can you smile?"
Perhaps because she thought Mo Wuchen was a little noisy, Lingyi finally turned her head and glanced at him coldly, "My smile is worth nine hundred taels of silver?"
Mo Wuchen quickly shook his head in denial, "No, no, the main reason is that I only have nine hundred taels with me now. When I return home, I will definitely bring more money out and give it to my sister."
Lingyi pushed Mo Wuchen's hand holding the banknote back and said, "Keep it for yourself."
Seeing Mo Wuchen's disappointed look, Lingyi frowned slightly and asked him proactively, "Where is your home?"
"My family is in Hualing City, and my father is the city lord."
Hualing City is the largest city in the south of Da Chu, and the Mo family is the well-deserved overlord of Hualing.
Lingyi was slightly shocked. She didn't expect to save the young master of the Mo family in Hualing City with just one move. However, she was still a little helpless at Mo Wuchen's naivety. "Don't tell others your details casually in the future. It's easy to be betrayed." People are thinking about it.”
"I didn't do it casually. Sister Qingyi is a good person." Mo Wuchen disagreed and spoke stubbornly.
Hearing this, Ling Yi laughed and said faintly: "How can I be a good person? I'm afraid I've killed more people than your whole family."
The mountain village alone killed a total of 123 people.
Mo Wuchen shook his head again, "No, Sister Qingyi killed all good people."
Seeing that Mo Wuchen insisted on defending herself, Ling Yi didn't continue to say, "Hualing City is at least two or three hundred miles away from here, why did you run here alone?"
"My father made me learn some messy things every day, I didn't like it, so I ran away from home."
Hearing this, Ling Yi just smiled. Ling Yi had never experienced the feeling of being forced to learn things by her father, and she would never have the opportunity to experience it again, because she no longer had a father.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Ling Yi got up and walked towards the entrance of the mountain village. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Chongyang and his group walking over with the dozen girls.
Among the dozen people, most of them were daughters from villages and towns dozens of miles away; there were also a few young ladies from merchants who were accidentally abducted on their way home; the last two were orphans. They once had parents, but they were brutally killed by those mountain bandits.
Lingyi asked Chongming and his party to send all the women with families back, and as for the two orphans, she took them on the carriage.
Lingyi was going to go to Nuanyu City to buy some goods. If there were suitable families on the way, she would settle the two orphans. If not, it was not impossible to take them back to Shengjing. She had saved almost all her money, and she could buy a small house by the end of the year. By then, the mansion would also need someone to take care of it.
Seeing Lingyi was about to leave, Mo Wuchen hurriedly caught up with her and asked carefully: "Sister Qingyi, can you... take me with you?"
