Chapter 150 Curiosity killed the cat
Those people almost rolled by crawling.
Li Yong ran over to pick up his big knife, wiped off the blood on the wailing man, and then looked at the panicked woman on the ground.
When the woman saw Li Yong, she didn't show much gratitude on her face, but still looked at them vigilantly.
This is the second time Li Yong has been a hero since he came out with Su Ying. He showed a self-conscious smile and said to the woman: "Girl, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"
Who knows, the girl hurriedly got up from the ground after hearing this and ran away without looking back.
"Hey, why did you leave like this without even saying thank you." Li Yong was a little depressed.
"Thank you, who knows if you will be the next person who wants to bully her." An old man sitting beside said quietly.
Li Yong stared, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think everyone is as dirty as the people in the West District?"
The old man smiled and said nothing.
Su Ying looked at the old man in a blink of an eye, only to see that he was wearing a thin linen jacket with countless patches on his clothes, his beard and hair were gray, and his whole body was so thin that only skin and bones remained. A pair of cloudy eyes did not A little light, just sitting there, is a dying person, waiting to die.
Su Ying walked up to the old man, and took out a small bag of snacks from her body. This snack was made by Uncle He. She liked to eat it, so she would carry some with her, and took out a few bites whenever she thought of it.
"food."
The old man glanced at Su Ying, took the cloth bag unceremoniously, opened it, took out the snacks inside and ate it.
It seems that it has been a long time since I have eaten such a delicious thing, and the old man's cloudy eyes narrowed comfortably.
Su Ying was not in a hurry, and waited for him to eat comfortably before squatting down and looking at him, and said, "It's like this in the whole West District, and there is no one who takes the lead to take care of it?"
The old man said quietly after eating comfortably, "Who cares? Who cares about the lives of us? Those who are capable have gone to other districts, and the rest can only wait here to die."
Su Ying got up slowly, and continued to walk into the west area. After entering, she found that the distance between the houses here was much narrower than that in the east area, and many houses were crowded together.
Huwei said that this area was under the control of the Gu clan before, and it was not long before the Gu clan was exterminated. It is impossible for this place to undergo huge changes in a short period of time. It can only be said that when the Gu clan controlled it, this place was This look.
Gu people only regard the people here as breeding equipment for Gu insects, so they don't treat them as human beings.
"What are you doing, where are you taking the child, you can't take him away!"
On the narrow road, a man suddenly dragged a half-grown boy out, and the woman behind chased after him, crying.
The man's face was dirty, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyeballs were bloodshot. "This kid can't do anything at home except eat. You can sell him to another district for a tael of silver."
"Don't sell, please don't sell the child..." The thin woman caught up and grabbed the child's hand, begging bitterly.
The child was pulled by the two, his face was numb, and there was no trace of innocence at this age on his face.
"Stupid girl, if I get in the way again, I will kill you!" The man raised his hand and slapped the woman on the face.
The woman was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
"How much do you sell this child for?"
The man turned his head and was stopped by Su Ying.
The man looked her up and down, and laughed contemptuously, "How much do you want to spend, little lady?"
Su Ying said expressionlessly, "I'll give you as much as you want."
The man raised his hand greedily, "Five taels of silver."
"Okay, Li Yong, give me the money."
Li Yong said ah, Mrs. Su, didn't you buy the man, why did you ask him to pay for it!
It was hard for him to save such a small amount!
Although there were various kinds of reluctance in his heart, under Su Ying's indifferent eyes, Li Yong still took out five taels of silver and handed it to the man.
"From now on, this kid will be my man."
The man immediately smiled when he got the silver, "Your man, your man hahaha." The man walked away happily holding the silver.
When the women on the ground saw their sons being bought, the despair on their faces grew stronger.
"What is your husband going to do with the money?"
When the woman heard Su Ying's question, she choked up and said, "Buy immortal wine."
"Immortal wine?"
"Yes, he spent all the money in the family to buy immortal wine."
"what is that?"
The woman shook her head, "I only know that it is a kind of wine, drink it, and drink it will make people very happy without any pain."
"Where?"
The woman tremblingly stretched out her finger and pointed to a narrow street ahead.
Su Ying nodded knowingly, "Let's go."
"This, this lady, please, please give me back my son, give me back my son..." The woman crawled up to Su Ying and kept begging.
"He paid for the money. If you ask for it, just ask him to go." After Su Ying finished speaking, she left without looking back.
The woman looked at Li Yong.
Li Yong looked at Su Ying, then at the half-grown child, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to find your son in the future, go to the Tiger Camp in the Eastern District." After speaking, he took the child and ran away. If the child stays, he will be sold again sooner or later, and he will have a fart when he goes back.
The woman watched her son being dragged away, fell to the ground and howled.
Su Ying walked around the narrow street in the direction pointed by the woman, and saw a large group of people sitting on both sides of the street, each of them was holding a wine cup in their hand, drinking drunkenly.
At the end of the street, there is a wine shop, and the wine in the hands of these people comes out of this wine shop.
Su Ying walked into the wine shop, and saw the man who sold the child just now came out happily holding a glass of wine, and couldn't wait to take a sip before he went out.
The wine seller is an old man with gray beard and hair, who is making drinks for people at the moment.
Su Ying asked, "How much is a cup?"
The old man said without raising his head, "One hundred dollars."
"Give me a cup."
The old man slowly raised his head and glanced at Su Ying, seeing that she looked awkward, he looked her up and down, "Where did the little lady come from?"
"Do you still have places to sell things?"
The old man laughed, "It doesn't matter, but not everyone can drink this wine. If you haven't drunk it before, little lady, don't try it."
Su Ying took out half a coin from her body, "Curiosity, give me a cup."
The old man no longer refused, and turned to drink, "Curiosity killed the cat, and so did people."
The cloudy wine was put into a porcelain cup. The old man put the wine on the table, collected the money, and gave Su Ying some change.
Su Ying took the drink and turned around and left the restaurant.
Li Yong followed and said worriedly: "Ms. Su, this thing doesn't look right, you can't drink it indiscriminately."
Su Ying shook the wine cup in her hand and smelled it, her eyes narrowed.
It’s true that you can’t drink indiscriminately.
