Concubine's true colors

Chapter 638
Throughout the night, Zhou Xianyu was in a state of intoxication, guarding the tombstone at the foot of the empty Meishan Mountain without leaving.

Later, he didn't know what time it was, and finally fell asleep leaning against the tombstone in a bout of drunkenness.

Thanks to Zhou Xianyu who marched and fought all year round, sleeping in the open has long been a common occurrence.

Otherwise, if the cold wind blows down this night, someone else will definitely fall ill.

But the sun had already risen at dawn the next day, but Zhou Xianyu was still sleeping in front of Xiao Jinxuan's tomb despite being drunk.

Zhou Xianyu was woken up by the rough cursing voices of several men, and opened his eyes with a slight frown on his brows.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a thin woman surrounded by four or five men with fierce faces not far from the tomb.

And among these few men, one of them has a scar on his face, and he is obviously a big man who is the leader. He pointed at the woman who was surrounded and couldn't escape, and shouted cursingly:

"Little bitch, you are trying to give me a try. Your mother sold you to me, but the uncle bought you for five taels of silver. Why don't you send you to a brothel and resell you?" It’s a good price. But you dared to run away secretly while we were asleep. I think you need to be beaten, believe it or not, I will whip you to death right now.”

This big man with a scar on his face had a loud voice, so there was a distance of about a hundred meters between Zhou Xianyu and them, but he could still hear the other party's words clearly.

However, Zhou Xianyu's nature is bohemian and unrestrained, and his temperament is both good and evil. Those heroes who save the beauty and see injustices on the road, he always takes care of them only according to his preferences.

After all, when Zhou Xianyu was learning martial arts from his master Qingxu Zhenren, he traveled all over the rivers and lakes to see all the cruel things in the world, bullying the good and fearing the evil.

So he knew long ago that the world is too big, and there are so many injustices, especially those with poor backgrounds.

Even if he can manage one or two of them, it will not change anything at all.

Moreover, he is not a reincarnated living Bodhisattva, who can be saved for a while, but cannot be saved forever.

Besides, in everything in the world, there is beauty only when there is ugliness, and only goodness is reflected when there is evil. Qingxu can be called a master of the world.

Therefore, under the teaching of his Taoist background, Zhou Xianyu's definition of good and evil is not too cynical, or has the idea of ​​​​deliberately eradicating rape and evil.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu, who would be woken up, picked up a wine jar from his side, raised his head and drank it, without any intention of interfering.

But because of his good martial arts and keen six senses, even if he didn't care to listen, the words on the scarred face were still clearly transmitted to his ears.

But Zhou Xianyu could only hear that the woman who was surrounded by the scarred face after shouting, would also speak now.

"My father just died of illness, and my stepmother sold me to you when my body was still cold, but I am a girl from an innocent family. , was admitted to the teacher of a scholar. As a daughter, I will never discredit him, so if you want to take me away, you can, then take my body."

The scene that happened in front of Zhou Xianyu, to put it bluntly, was a common occurrence among folks selling girls for money and forcing girls into prostitution.

Especially in mountain villages and rural areas, there are too many children in the family to support, so they can only buy their daughters and exchange money to support their sons.

This kind of thing is so common that almost most of the prostitutes in the brothel are caused by this.

But Zhou Xianyu really didn't intend to care about such an ordinary thing.

After all, those big men also spent money. Although forcing women into prostitution sounds vicious, it is not robbing women, nor is it abduction and trafficking. The behavior is shameful but it has not violated the law.

But when the woman opened her mouth to speak, there was an indifferent tone in the coldness, a stubborn speech, a stubbornness that would rather die than bow.

Zhou Xianyu felt that this girl was too similar to Xiao Jinxuan.

The wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhou Xianyu looked hard at the young woman standing a hundred meters away.

The same ordinary, same gentle face, although this woman's appearance is different from Xiao Jinxuan's.

But the other party's determination to pull out the hairpin and pierce his neck made Zhou Xianyu's heart twitch.

Suddenly, he thought of Xiao Jinxuan and the worry-free hairpin he gave her.

This time, Zhou Xianyu, who didn't want to be nosy at first, was afraid of disturbing Xiao Jinxuan's tranquility, but before the woman was about to pierce his throat, he shot a copper coin out.

The copper coin hit the numb point on the woman's right hand holding the hairpin, so the opponent's hand became weak for a while, and the hairpin fell to the ground in response.

As for Zhou Xianyu, who has already come here step by step, his six senses are already keen, even before he got close, he could already see that the woman was unable to commit suicide to keep her innocence, and her face was full of despair, but It just happened to be stubborn and refused to beg for mercy and shed tears.

More on this woman, Zhou Xianyu saw a trace of Xiao Jinxuan.

When he came near, he didn't talk too much nonsense, just took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to the scarred face:

"I want this woman. Even if you send her to the brothel, you may not be able to sell her for the money. If you take the money, get out of here and disturb the peace of my dead wife. You all stay here, and no one wants to leave."

As soon as he got 50 taels of silver, the greedy look in the eyes of Scar's face was full, after all, just like what Zhou Xianyu said, buying innocent women to brothels can indeed make a lot of money.But this woman has an ordinary appearance, and if she enters the brothel, she can sell it for 30 taels of silver at most.

But seeing Zhou Xianyu's generosity, this scarred face wanted to ask for more money because of the large number of people on his side, so he would never let go so easily.

But when Scarface was thinking beautifully in his heart, when he looked up at Zhou Xianyu, he who had only been swearing just now, discovered the other party's snowy hair and Han Junxie's charming face.

There was a shiver in my heart, Zhou Xianyu's breathtaking image and the cold aura around him scared Scarface even his greedy nature was forcibly suppressed.

Scarface faintly regarded Zhou Xianyu, who appeared at the foot of Meishan Mountain, as a monster in the form of a white fox, so he did not dare to stay, and bowed to him a few times in fear, turned around and fled as if leading others away up.

Although the scarred face was clasped with palms together and the voice of chanting words was very low when praying devoutly, but Zhou Xianyu had excellent hearing and could still hear clearly.

With a helpless wry smile, Zhou Xianyu grabbed his strand of snowy hair and murmured:

"White Fox Immortal? Thanks to the scarred face, I can figure it out, but I do look like a demon like a ghost, I hope that when I meet Xuan'er down below, she won't be disgusted and won't recognize me." it is good."

Even in Zhou Xianyu's perception, Xiao Jinxuan felt that the other party was dead.

But in his life, he was still talking about the other party, and he never lost a bit because of the other party's departure.

But Zhou Xianyu had just finished his self-deprecating words, and the woman who was rescued by him at the side was no longer cold, but said with a hint of excitement:

"It's you, benefactor. I've been looking for you all these years around Xiaojiameizhuang, and I just want to thank you for saving my life. I didn't expect you to appear again when I was in danger again. It's just grace What's the matter with your hair, why is it as white as snow after not seeing you for a few years."

Hearing this woman's words, Zhou Xianyu was surprised, and looked over attracted by the other's words.

But after he took a closer look at this woman's appearance, Zhou Xianyu thought he had a pretty good memory, but he didn't have the slightest impression of her at all.

Seeming to see Zhou Xianyu's doubts, the woman suddenly smiled, and then even a blush flashed across her face, and then said with gratitude in her eyes:
"Grandpa, have you forgotten that a few years ago, by the side of the big tree on the roadside at the back of Meizhuang, you once split the wooden cage with a sword and rescued the little girl from the ice and snow. At that time, you also gave me a cloak Give it to me, but my stepmother later pawned the cloak for money, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to return it to benefactor."

When the woman said these words, not only did she have an incomparably natural expression, but she also knew everything about that year like the back of her hand.

But although this woman and Xiao Jinxuan are very similar in speech, demeanor and charm, they are not the same person after all.

And the person who was imprisoned in the wooden cage and made things difficult for her was clearly Xiao Jinxuan.

And why this woman knew what happened back then, and why she appeared here, it will be intriguing for a while.

But for Zhou Xianyu who didn't care about things back then, he naturally couldn't see any flaws.

On the contrary, the events of the year were being brought up, and Zhou Xianyu couldn't help being touched in his heart.

After all, the silver bell-like laughter that resounded through the mountains at that time had a deep impact on him.

At that time, Zhou Xianyu was attracted by the pure and unadulterated laughter, and that's when he met Xiao Jinxuan for the first time. After he hid in the carriage, the other party was willing to repay the favor and save them, thus they formed an indissoluble bond with each other.

But Xiao Jinxuan never told Zhou Xianyu about her being locked in the wooden cage. After all, that difficult experience had passed, and she looked too sloppy at that time, so there was nothing to mention in front of her beloved.

Xiao Jinxuan has always liked to share her joy and happiness with Zhou Xianyu, but her character tends to be alone in her heart about difficult things.

That's why for a few years, Zhou Xianyu didn't know about the wooden cage.

It is also because of this reason that this woman with obvious origins and eccentric existence is given the opportunity to take over her identity and hide the truth.

Because he didn't know the truth, Zhou Xianyu looked at the woman in front of him and told all about the cloak he gave her back then, so naturally he didn't doubt anything.

Therefore, seeing his face, he couldn't help showing a smile. Since Zhou Xianyu thought Xiao Jinxuan was dead, his cold attitude towards everyone has eased a lot.

"I didn't expect it to be you, so I did save you twice. What's your name, I forgot to ask you when I was in a hurry. Now we are considered old friends, this time you should tell me Me."

Hearing Zhou Xianyu's words, the woman couldn't help but blush even more intensely, and after bending over to salute, she said with her red lips lightly:
"My little girl's surname is Lin and her name is Qingsui. She's from a nearby mountain village. Her father is a scholar. He's a teacher in these villages. Now that my father has passed away, my stepmother can't tolerate me anymore. My little girl is so cheeky that she hopes that her benefactor will take her in for me. One way to live. It is to be a maidservant or a concubine, as long as you don't fall into prostitution and give me a shelter, then Qingsui will be satisfied."
