My Weird Life Chapter 1200

Chapter 1200 It's snowing heavily (12)

Jin Xiaoquan didn't react for a moment when he heard Chua Bao'er's words. He hesitated a few times, but finally made no response.

Yin Xiuhua reacted quickly and immediately said: "It was daytime, there was no snow, and the mules walked fast!

How can there be so much snow like today? "

“Yeah, it's snowing a lot today...” Jin Xiaoquan quickly echoed.

Chubao'er smiled and said softly: "It's a really heavy snowfall..."

 “It's snowing so heavily…”

When sister-in-law Yin Xiuhua heard what Chua Baoer said, she looked up at the snowflakes flying around. She only felt that the snowy night was cold and gloomy, but she didn't see what was good about it.

 She hugged her son tightly and said no more.

The mule cart crossed a wide plain. Snowflakes covered the wheat seedlings in the field like a quilt. Only a little green could be seen between the thick layers of snow.

As the mule cart continued to walk for a while, the wheat seedlings in the fields on both sides of the road were completely covered by the new snow, and no longer showed any greenness.

The sky is dark and the land is vast.

 The mule and carriage stopped in front of a wild temple.

This wild temple stands under a high and wide embankment. The door of the temple is ajar, and there is a fire flickering inside.

The sounds of people arguing and talking were carried by the whistling wind and blew into the ears of several people on the mule cart parked in front of the temple gate.

 “Hey, hey!”

"One of us is over seventy years old and has been guarding the temple here. He has never done anything bad, and the other is a lonely old man who is even blind - why do you want to bully us? We are gathering together in this wild temple. We are supposed to be together. Why do you need to turn a fate into an evil obstacle?"

 “Old blind man, stop talking nonsense!

 Repay fate, evil obstacles—the words in your mouth are exactly the same.

Look at your flag, what is written on it is that you know astronomy, geography, and human affairs - you can judge the palm prints and bones, and you are good at calculating birth dates. What kind of "nine wanderers" are you calling... Ha! What a **** name, men have never heard of it!

Hey Heihei...you are so good at calculating, but how could you expect that you would have such a difficulty today? ! "

 “Fortune telling is just making a living…

The little old man has only one day in a month to tell fortunes, and he is accurate in everything.

There is no need for the little old man to criticize this situation. The little old man also knows that he and this old man will definitely not die now... As for you... Hey - you are going to be in a **** disaster today, and you might end up dead! "

“Come in, your mother!

　　　See if I don't beat you to a **** head first, and then you will suffer a **** disaster today—"

 “Slow down, slow down!

 Brother, Jinda has arrived! "

"Um?

 Stick the mouths of these two old men and drag the statues behind them!

 Don't dawdle! Let's search them later to see if they have any money! "

 The noise in the wild temple suddenly died down.

A dark-faced man poked his head out of the half-opened temple door and looked at the mule carriage parked in front of the open space outside the temple. When he saw Jin Xiaoquan on the mule carriage, there was no surprise on his face. When he looked at Yin Xiuhua, the wife of Jin Xiaoquan, who was sitting in the car, his expression suddenly became surprised.

Jin Xiaoquan grinned at the dark-faced man. He jumped out of the car, helped his wife out of the platoon car, and finally cast his eyes on Chubao'er in the car.

At this time, there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were cold: "Sister, come on, get out of the car first!"

“Get off here?

 Aren't we going to Liu Yuan's wife's house? "Chuan Baoer and Jin Xiaoquan looked at each other and said in a calm voice.

The cloth covered her face, so Jin Xiaoquan could only see her dark eyes. Listening to her voice without much emotion, Jin Xiaoquan felt a little irritated for some reason. With a sullen face, he shouted: "Wheel wheels Something went wrong, I need to fix it, and we happen to have a rest here, so get out of the car quickly!"

While the two brothers and sister were talking, the black-faced man stuck his head out of the small temple and held a hatchet with a long pole in his hand. While looking at Chubao'er on the platoon cart, he walked around behind the carriage.

 He and Jin Xiaoquan surrounded the paizi car one after another.

Yin Xiuhua put down her baby and stood on the side of the road. She stopped at that position. That position blocked Chubao'er's possibility of blocking the road and escaping.

Chai Baoer listened to her brother's increasingly cold words, and glanced at the wheels on both sides of the platoon car.

 The mule cart has traveled all the way, and there is nothing abnormal about the wheels, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Brother doesn't even want to think of an excuse right now.

She sighed and without saying another word, she bent down and got out of the mule cart.

Then he was surrounded by his brother-in-law and the black-faced man, and walked into this small river temple.

 As soon as you open the temple door, a wave of hot air hits your face.

There was a pile of firewood burning in the temple. A man with a yellow face and a short beard was sitting by the bonfire. There were many firewood scattered around him. There are many messy footprints on the ground covered with incense ash.

 It seems that someone was flapping in this temple not long ago.

The yellow-faced man looked up and down at Chua Bao'er who was walking into the temple gate. His brown eyes showed satisfaction. He looked away from Chua Bao'er and turned to look at Chua Bao'er who was following him. The black-faced man.

The black-faced man understood immediately, went back, closed the temple door, and fastened the bolt.

"My mules haven't been tied outside yet, why did I barge in the door?" Jin Xiaoquan muttered, leaning back, trying to push the black-faced man away and go to tie his mules and horses outside the temple.

The dark-faced man glared at him and flashed the hatchet in his hand——

He shrank his neck and suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

His wife Yin Xiuhua held her sleeping son in her arms and wandered around the temple. She found a big stone near the bonfire and sat down. She felt even more at home in the current scene.

Yin Xiuhua glanced at her husband and said, "It's freezing cold, how can anyone come to this wilderness at this time?

 The mule will be fine, just find a place to sit down first!

Now I should pay more attention to this girl like you—she might be able to pull off some tricks..."

Hearing this, the yellow-faced man made a "chi" sound in his mouth and sneered: "Trick? Leave the trick on the bed to deal with your future guests!"

He raised his eyes to look at Yin Xiuhua opposite, his eyes lingering on her plump chest, and said: "It's just a gift. Just ask Quanzi to come by himself. Why did you follow me with the child in your arms?"

“He used to send you horses and pigs, and he usually had to stay outside overnight.

 The money earned from selling horses and pigs was reduced by half in one night—how could this be possible?

Now that the weather is getting worse and no crops can grow in the fields, my wife and I have to live on this money. If he spends a night outside, our family will have to live without meat for several days.

 So I will follow you this time, count the money in front of you, and take the money in front of you.

 Lest there be any less! "Yin Xiuhua noticed the gaze of the yellow-faced man. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she puffed out her chest even more. Her fat face looked more charming under the firelight.

Jin Xiaoquan sat next to his wife and saw him and the yellow-faced man flirting with each other, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just lowered his head, with anger hidden in his eyes.

The yellow-faced man listened to Yin Xiuhua's words, shook his head and laughed: "He just finds a prostitute with a half-open door and a pheasant in a big thatched shed to be happy. How much money can he spend?

You say this because you think I give him too little money every time...

Then you come over with him and I'll get you some more. "

As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his arms, counted out a few strings of copper coins, and threw them on a stone slab in front of him. Those strings of copper coins reflected a yellow brilliance under the flames, which made people dazzled.

Jin Xiaoquan silently counted the strings of copper coins, his eyes shone with light, and the previous anger had long since dissipated. "I stopped getting involved in these businesses a long time ago..." Yin Xiuhua's eyes were not on the strings of copper coins, but on the yellow-faced man opposite. She shook her head and refused, but her voice became softer.

The yellow-faced man pursed his lips towards the curtained room behind her: "Will you go and sit inside later?"

Yin Xiuhua's eyes were hesitant.

When Jin Xiaoquan heard this, a stream of blood rushed to his forehead, and his whole face suddenly turned red. He raised his head and glared at the yellow-faced man opposite. At this time, the yellow-faced man took something out of his pocket again. —

He threw a bright short knife on the stone slab in front of him, took out two more strings of money, and threw them together with the previous strings to Jin Xiaoquan on the other side of the bonfire: "You go back early tonight, your parents I'm still waiting at home, don't ask them to wait impatiently.

 I will send Xiuhua and the baby back to you tomorrow! "

The yellow-faced man said it without a doubt.

Jin Xiaoquan held a few heavy strings of copper coins in his arms and saw the man playing with the short knife again. His Adam's apple rolled, and finally he only responded weakly, "Okay."

 The yellow-faced man turned to look at Chubao'er.

Chuan Bao'er sat quietly in the corner, with a pair of eyes under the headscarf looking at the yellow-faced man - even a woman with unknown dangers in the world should be able to understand the current situation, let alone this long-term A woman who has been through the dust?

However, even after she understood the current situation, she still did not cry, and seemed to accept it all so calmly and calmly. This made the yellow-faced man feel strange. He turned to look at the other person, and saw that the other person was also looking at him. He couldn't help but become more and more interested in Chubao'er, so he asked him, "What are you looking at?"

 “I seem to have met you before.” Chuan Baoer replied.

The yellow-faced man was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "We met not long ago - the one who wants to make you the second wife, is it me?"

After speaking, the yellow-faced man wiped his face a few times. When he put down his palm, the facial features revealed seemed to be the same as before, but when people take a look, they will tell that he has changed. Open your face and change your feeling!

 The yellow-faced man became 'Liu Yuanwai'!

"yes.

 A few days ago, my brother and sister-in-law took me to see you. You are that member Liu. "Cai Bao'er nodded, and then she gently pulled off the scarf covering her face, revealing a face as beautiful as a flower.

 The lights are bright, and the beauty's face looks more like the fairy in the painting.

The yellow-faced man rubbed his hands, the look of satisfaction in his eyes getting stronger and stronger: "Do you still understand the current situation?"

 “I understand.”

 “Aren't you afraid?”

Chai Baoer thought for a while, then turned to look at Jin Xiaoquan who had her head buried and did not dare to look at him. Her eyes lingered on Jin Xiaoquan for a moment, then turned to look at her sister-in-law Yin Xiuhua, who also looked at her with a smile.

The smile on that fat face is still kind, but if you think about the past, it will make people feel the viciousness hidden under the smile, which makes people shudder even more.

Bao'er withdrew his gaze, smiled and said to the yellow-faced man: "I have met you before, not only when you became 'Liu Yuanwai', but seven or eight years ago, it was also you who tricked me into a carriage and sent me to a brothel. .

 We are already acquaintances. What's so scary about meeting acquaintances? "

 “Haha…” The yellow-faced man laughed while holding the short knife.

The black-faced man guarding the door and Yin Xiuhua holding the child also laughed together.

Jin Xiaoquan saw that everyone was smiling, even the girl who was about to be sold again also laughed, so he didn't understand why he laughed too.

“You woman, you talk very funny.

—You will be sold to a brothel again soon. This time, you will be sold to Rouge Alley. Even if you don't become an oiran, you will at least be a prostitute, which is much better than your last time!

If you can escape from there in the future, don't go home.

 Just come to me directly, I will sell it to you at a good price, and I won't let you brother and sister-in-law make a profit in the middle! "The yellow-faced man laughed and spoke, his words full of sarcasm.

 He looked at Chubao'er as if he were looking at a bird in a cage.

 A bird has a pair of wings. When it flies high, it is difficult for anyone to catch it. But for a bird in a cage, even if it has a pair of wings, what's the use of it?

 In the sound of his words, Chuan Baoer nodded.

She seemed to have accepted her fate without any struggle. She just said to the yellow-faced man: "Can you please allow me to have a few words with my brother and sister-in-law alone?"

 “Okay!” The yellow-faced man simply agreed.

He knew Jin Xiaoquan and his wife very well, and was not worried that they would let Chu Baoer go. He stood up directly and walked into the side room opposite that was connected to the main hall of the small temple.

The black-faced man looked at the three people sitting opposite each other. He also opened the door bolt and walked out of the temple door.

 He reached the temple gate from outside the temple.

 The main hall of the small temple became quiet.

On the wall opposite the door, there is a plastic statue of an old man with a white beard, and the curtain behind the statue is swaying slightly.

Jin Xiaoquan lowered his head and looked at the shaking firelight. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts were running in his mind.

Chai Baoer looked at him and spoke softly: "Brother, when I went home, I brought back five ounces of copper coins... That's my living expenses. Isn't these five ounces of copper coins enough for my brother's family?"

“My parents are sick all year round, and you can't take care of them at home.

I have to raise a son. He is at this age and can eat. If he is half a grown-up, he will eat me to death... Five ounces of copper can only support me for a while. If I want to spend it as much as I can, it is naturally far from enough. "Jin Xiaoquan replied.

 When he said these words, his tone was brisk and his answers were fluent, as if he had rehearsed the current scene countless times in his mind and knew how to deal with his sister's questioning.

"The year I left home, there were only two adobe houses in the house. My brother and sister-in-law had just gotten married... It must not have been long after I left. My brother bought mules and horses, and not long after that, he built tiles. house…

Brother, it seems that you still feel that the money from selling your sister's life is not enough to buy you these properties, and now you want to sell your sister, who has finally escaped from the sea of ​​misery, to such a place? "Chuan Baoer's tone became calmer and softer, making it sound as if he was not questioning Jin Xiaoquan, but as if he was comforting him softly.

 But such soft words fell on Jin Xiaoquan's ears, which made him feel particularly harsh.

He frowned and said in a dark voice: "Why should I spend your money from selling myself? The money to build the house was also earned by your brother and me -"

“Did you earn it by tying up good girls from surrounding villages and towns and selling them to Ren Yazi?” Chuan Baoer suddenly spoke up, interrupting Jin Xiaoquan's words.

Jin Xiaoquan was speechless for a moment, and then became even more furious: "You bitch, how dare you talk to your brother like this?!

 I think you hate me?

It wasn't me who sold you back then - it was my father who made the decision, and my mother agreed and sold you!

 I'm just taking a trip on their behalf! "

He roared a few words angrily, and Chua Bao'er lowered his head, as if he was frightened.

Seeing his sister's appearance, Jin Xiaoquan suddenly felt a lot of joy in his heart. He felt comfortable, hummed softly, slowed down his tone, and comforted his sister: "Bao'er, I have already agreed with Boss Zhu.

 The place you went to this time was Rouge Alley!

It is much better to be a prostitute there than to live in a remote place like ours, where dignitaries and dignitaries come and go, and where you are popular and drink hot food. It won't be long before you have saved up enough money to redeem yourself. When you come out, my brother will build you a room at home and keep you until you come back..."

Jin Xiaoquan became more and more speechless as he went down the page - he watched Chua Bao'er take out a bulging bag from his arms, opened it, and revealed the yellow and white items inside.

 Those are silver ingots and gold bars!

A silver ingot can be exchanged for all the copper coins he is holding in his arms, and there is still something left!

One gold bar can be exchanged for a hundred or ten silver ingots of that size!

Jin Xiaoquan's breathing became rapid. Yin Xiuhua stood up and looked around, fearing that "Boss Zhu" and his accomplices would show up at this moment and take away the pile of gold and silver in front of Chui Bao'er!

She tapped Jin Xiaoquan's shoulder repeatedly, signaling Jin Xiaoquan to ask his sister to put away the gold and silver first, so that no one else could see it.

At this time, Jin Xiaoquan was thinking very fast. He quickly lowered his voice and said to Chubao'er: "What about...sister, I want to come up with a trick, let's wait a while..."

As he spoke, he repeatedly pointed outside the temple door, which meant that he would find a way to bring his sister home.

Unexpectedly, Chuan Baoer said at this time: "Brother, do you know why I only gave you and your family five ounces of copper coins when I came home this time with so much gold and silver?"

“…” Jin Xiaoquan looked blank, then shook his head, “That's not important!”
