BXBX NOVEL Chapter 281: Unwilling
There is also a flower shop not far away. It is different from those arty flower buildings in Pingkangfang. The girl in the flower building here is just a tool, a tool for men to vent their desires, not to mention that there are many prostitutes deep in the streets.
What is surprising is that more than half of the street laborers are women.
Gu Danxue watched as a scarred face with tattooed arms passed by cursing in front of her. She tried her best to keep her face calm, but her long-term habit still made her lower her head subconsciously.
It has been more than half a day since she was brought to this place, and the guard who brought her asked the maid to help her down, and then left with the carriage.
She stared blankly at the unfamiliar and chaotic streets, and her instinct of being afraid of dealing with strangers made her feel panicked.
But she could roughly guess the good intentions of Shen Mingjiao and the others. Regarding this, she felt guilty and wanted to do something to reassure her good friend, but at the same time she didn\'t know what to do, feeling at a loss.
Gu Danxue was sitting in a leeward corner at this time, behind the wall seemed to be a brothel, and not far from where she was leaning against, a disheveled woman was tied by an iron chain, and she saw the shocking whip marks on her leg, She was startled, a little afraid to approach. People who come and go seem to be accustomed to this.
According to an old lady selling head flowers at the intersection chatting with people at the top of her voice.
This woman suffers from Hualiu Disease, even so, the old bustard of Hualou still wants to squeeze out the last bit of value from the woman. If she meets a customer who likes to beat and abuse, he will pack up the woman and bring her there.
Gu Danxue was shocked when she heard it. She had hardly been out of the Hou Mansion since she was a child. Although she knew that the world was difficult, she naturally had no way of knowing how difficult it was.
Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was indescribably shocked and complicated. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the woman from time to time. The woman lay motionless on her stomach, her messy black hair covering her face.
She stared blankly at the void, and couldn\'t help but think that there are people in this world who live a much harder life than her.
At this time, a dirty little girl was squatting beside her, nibbling steamed buns carefully, looking up at her curiously with big eyes blinking from time to time.
"Auntie, why haven\'t I seen you before, are you new here?"
Gu Danxue was taken aback by her call, and subconsciously touched her face.
Before coming here, Cui Lingling should have quietly helped her change her appearance. In addition, she was dressed in shabby clothes. Even if she behaved a little weirdly, people who saw her would only think that she had escaped.
As for why she disguised herself as an older woman, in this kind of place, if she was a girl, no matter how ugly she was, she would not be safe.
Gu Danxue answered vaguely, obviously not wanting to say more.
The little girl is a chatterbox, chattering non-stop.
Within less than a cup of tea, Gu Danxue knew that the little girl lived in the dilapidated house opposite, and that her stepfather was a gambler and liked to beat people when he was drunk. My mother sells cold vegetables at the street corner, and the little girl usually pretends to be a little beggar and begs for money from people everywhere.
Seeing that I had been talking for a long time, the new aunt didn’t respond. The little girl blinked and asked, "Are you unhappy, aunt! Or is Hua Hua not talking well?"
Gu Danxue has always been flattered by other people\'s kindness, and this will be watched by the little girl\'s big eyes. She subconsciously reflects on whether her attitude is too bad?
She said awkwardly: "No,... Huahua is very cute."
Hearing that she was being praised, the little girl called Huahua jumped up happily: "Mother, you are the first person to praise me for being cute."
Looking at the two mouthfuls of steamed buns in his hand, he gritted his teeth and took out a flat bean paste bun from his chest:
"Ma\'am, you must be very hungry. This is the reward I just got for sweeping the yard of Uncle Chen from the bun shop. Let\'s eat it, auntie!"
Gu Danxue naturally can\'t ask for it, she is an adult, how can she ask for children\'s food!
Although her stomach growled violently, she knew that she couldn\'t eat at all.
Seeing that the aunt would not accept it, Huahua hesitated for a moment and forced the bun into Gu Danxue\'s hand.
But at this moment, a few ragged little boys passed by, snatched the bean paste bun from the little girl\'s hand and ran away.
Huahua was stunned for a moment, looked at her empty little hand, and burst into tears,
Gu Danxue stood there dumbfounded, a little at a loss for a while. She couldn\'t figure it out, that someone would **** things for nothing in broad daylight!
She said coyly, "I\'m sorry..."
Huahua didn\'t listen, she just kept crying.
Gu Danxue really didn\'t know what to do now, her forehead was sweating from anxiety.
At this time, she touched her pocket and found a hard mass. When I took it out, it turned out to be a small packet of jerky. There is also a pack of processed and cut ginseng slices, presumably Shen Mingjiao was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and someone prepared it.
Her eyes were a little sore, and at the same time, she felt more guilty. She handed the whole bag of jerky to the little girl.
"Eat it! This is better than buns."
Huahua took it in a daze, realized what she was taking, and hurriedly looked around like a thief, covered her mouth and whispered: "Ma\'am, you actually have dried meat!" She hadn\'t eaten meat for more than two months .
Just a pack of jerky, Gu Danxue didn\'t think it was a big deal. "Well, let\'s eat!"
Huahua swallowed, but only took one piece and pushed the rest back. "I\'m stuffed."
After finishing speaking, he felt a deflated belly in response to the occasion.
Gu Danxue couldn\'t help being amused by her appearance, and sincerely praised: "You are such a good boy."
In the end, Gu Danxue didn\'t send out the package of dried meat.
It was getting dark, Gu Danxue looked at the more lively and chaotic interface than during the day, she was a little dazed and scared, but she didn\'t seem so scared, anyway, she was going to die—she couldn\'t eat anything at all.
It\'s just... mentioning death before this, her heart is calm and relieved. But now, everything that he saw today flashed across his mind, and a trace of unwillingness rose in his heart.
It wasn\'t until the time of fast forward that the bustle and bustle on the street gradually stopped. Huahua\'s mother also came back pushing the cart.
Seeing Gu Danxue squatting there alone, Huahua insisted on dragging her home to live.
Huahua\'s mother was reluctant at first, and couldn\'t bear Huahua\'s soft and hard foam.
Finally, Huahua forcibly dragged her back home, claiming that her home was nothing more than a few brick houses. Huahua\'s mother pointed to the farthest corner of the shed where the woodpile was placed, with a grim expression. "The humble house is simple, and it can only be difficult for this eldest sister to stay here for one night."
Gu Danxue still knows a little bit about the world, and took out the bag of jerky and handed it over: "This is the accommodation fee."
Huahua\'s mother was a little surprised, but her face softened a lot, she waved her hands and said, "Forget it, your package of beef jerky is enough to go to a hotel in a superior room."
Gu Danxue suddenly felt that even though there are many evil people in this world, there are also good people.
…
Gu Danxue sat down beside the pile of firewood. Before Huahua\'s mother left, she threw a torn quilt to her. At this moment, she was a little dizzy. She knew it was because she hadn\'t eaten for a long time.
She hesitated and picked up a piece of jerky and put it into her mouth. She was obviously very hungry, but as soon as the jerky entered her mouth, the nausea in her throat came up uncontrollably.
She knew that this might be the aftereffect of the hanging, and the unwillingness that she didn\'t even notice flashed across her eyes.
At this moment, there was a sound of dragging an iron chain in my ear. Huahua\'s house is facing the back door of the Hualou, and the firewood shed where she lives is also facing the woman who is chained.
By the lantern in the backyard of Hualou, she saw someone rudely throwing two steamed buns at the woman\'s hand. Because the throw was too far, the woman lay on the ground and desperately hooked her left hand for a long time without hooking it. The woman didn\'t give up, even though she knew she couldn\'t break free from the chains. Still gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand in vain.
Seeing this situation, Gu Danxue got the courage out of nowhere, stood up in a strange way, rushed over a few steps, picked up the steamed bun, squatted down, and gently put it in the woman\'s hand.
The woman suddenly raised her head, and the hair covering her entire face was slightly parted, revealing a pair of eyes.
Gu Danxue was stunned. These eyes were extremely beautiful, but they were actually a pair of phoenix eyes. She seemed to have seen them before.
But she didn\'t take it to heart, after all, it was in her cognition. Hualou girls are said to be very beautiful.
The woman didn\'t speak, she just lowered her head and held the steamed bun tightly to her mouth, then started to gobble it up.
Gu Danxue watched quietly, and involuntarily picked up a piece of jerky again, and swallowed it little by little amidst the wolfish sound of the woman opposite.
