Chapter 24: Unintentional to save people
What's more, although he and Su Muwan only met one time and had only less than half an hour of communication, he had a lot of good feelings for her in his heart, and his intuition was also telling him clearly that Su Muwan was not an enemy and would not do anything that was unfavorable to him.
Su Muwan, who had already left, did not notice the big thing behind her, nor did she know that she had tried her best to do well, but it was solved very simply.
Because Su Muwan solved a major event that was pressing into her heart, her walking steps were much lighter than usual. However, when she passed by the market, she suddenly heard a vague noise coming from the front and a woman's tragic and desperate scream.
It was this scream that made Su Muwan suddenly pause her steps.
She had tried this feeling, and when you fall into boundless despair and know that no one can help you, you will make such a tragic scream...
So Su Muwan quickly turned the direction of her steps and ran quickly towards the source of the sound.
Soon, Su Muwan saw a large group of people watching the fun in front of her formed a semicircle, and it was obvious that the woman who had something to do was among them.
"Give it, give it aside."
Su Muwan whispered apologies while squeezing into the crowd.
After squeezing in, I saw an old man who was beaten seriously injured, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl hugging the old man in tears, and five or six men in thug costumes kept pulling the little girl.
"It is natural to pay back the debt! If you have no money, you can only use this little girl to pay off the debt! Haha, I will sell it to a brothel, sing a small song, and accompany a few old men. Wouldn't you be rich?"
A short and fat man stood behind the thug. He was obviously wearing expensive silk, but he was as funny as a big show. He looked at the girl's despair with a look of watching the show, and said loudly loudly with an extremely frivolous expression.
After saying that, the short and fat man suddenly felt vulgar and yelled at the thug: "Why don't you take me away quickly! I have to enjoy this thin and tender skin, uncle!"
Su Muwan in the crowd had already understood the whole story of this matter. It turned out that the little girl's family borrowed the bully's money to treat her mother. Now that it can't be paid back, the bully will sell the little girl to a brothel to pay off her debt.
Originally, Su Muwan wanted to listen for a while to see if she could confirm more news, but when she heard the bully in the lead say such dirty words, she couldn't help but jump out.
"stop!"
Su Muwan's sudden interruption shocked the thug who was pulling the little girl, but when they turned around and saw that it was a more beautiful little lady, they subconsciously shrugged and let out a wretched laugh.
"Oh, the little lady is lonely? Do you want to come and play with your brother?" The bully in the lead said with a hurry, but when he saw Su Muwan's clothes, he knew that she was either rich or noble, and that she was the most unworthy person, so he just took advantage of her with a lustful heart but no courage.
"Rareless! It's just a matter of owing debts to pay back money. Do you want to force a good person to become a prostitute now?" Su Muwan resisted the urge to hit people. They were a lot of people, and once they took action, she would only suffer.
"How much does she owe you?"
Su Muwan asked with a grudge against her anger.
The bully in the lead made a hilarious sound and choked casually: "One hundred taels! If you have no money, the little lady should go home quickly and don't be a hero here."
"You nonsense! When my mother was sick, my father obviously just borrowed you ten taels of silver! Now it's only half a month! Why has it become one hundred taels! You are clearly bullying others with power!"
At this time, the little girl who had been frightened and raised her hand to point at the bully and exposes his lies in dissatisfaction.
But he knew that the bully was not for money. He had already made a reservation. Selling people to brothels is a sure thing to make a profit. Besides, before selling them, wouldn’t it be a good time for me to have fun?
Su Muwan raised her voice and repeated: "What do you mean is that if you pay one hundred taels, you won't get entangled again?"
"This is natural!" The bully also answered loudly, but the expression on his face was assured that Su Muwan couldn't afford much money.
When Su Muwan heard the firm answer, she chuckled, bowed to the people watching around her, and asked: "You have heard it too? I'm here to ask you to make a proof that they have made a promise in person. Since they have collected the money, if they come to make trouble again and find trouble for the father and daughter, it will be a product that will be a sacrificial item."
"You!" The bully in charge felt a chill in his lower body. He never expected that Su Muwan, a girl, would make such a heavy oath.
"What? Do you want to pay for the debt?" Su Muwan looked over without fear, and her firm eyes made the bully subconsciously feel guilty.
At this time, the onlookers also spoke out one after another, saying that they could testify and heard them.
Seeing this, Su Muwan took out a silver note of 100 taels: "Where is their IOU? Bring it?"
The bully saw that the onlookers were speaking out, and he had to say something first. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He slowly handed the IOU to Su Muwan, spat, and unwilling to goug the old man and the little girl on the ground.
"You are lucky! Don't fall into my hands next time!"
Since the bully left, the good show should end, and the onlookers slowly left. It was not until this time that Su Muwan slowly walked to the front of the girl and the old man and took out another silver note of 100 taels.
She has always lived under the plot of Shen Yun and Su's beloved, and even Su Qingyun regarded herself as a stepping stone to consolidate his own power. So Su Muwan has always believed that if the Su family came to an end one day, she would definitely be the first person to be pushed out to resist.
But what about this ordinary father and daughter? The daughter is willing to sell herself to pay off her debt, but the father would rather be beaten to death than let her be taken away. She has deep love and friendship, why don’t she be moved?
Since this is a family affection that she has never enjoyed and is not qualified to have, how could she just watch when she sees others trying her best to defend it?
"Take your dad to the clinic and see it. He is seriously injured."
Su Muwan squatted in front of her father and daughter and said softly, then handed over the silver notes in her hand.
However, the little girl bit her lip and refused to take Su Muwan's silver bill. Instead, she plopped and knelt in front of Su Muwan, and kowtowed three times in a row. When she raised her head, there was a big red mark on her forehead.
"What are you doing!"
Su Muwan was startled by the girl's actions. She didn't react to anything. The little girl had already kowtowed, and she couldn't even stop her.
"Miss for saving her life, Huan'er is very grateful! But the lady has helped me and my father a lot, how can we receive your favor again!"
Huan'er's words were sonorous. After saying that, she looked at Su Muwan firmly again.
Su Muwan looked at Huan'er in surprise. Her eyes did not shrank and dodge, and her words were also organized. Obviously, she had learned calligraphy and had a demeanor, but how could she fall to this level if she had read books?
Su Muwan frowned unconsciously, but Huan'er took the initiative to answer without waiting for her to ask the question.
Only then did Su Muwan realize that the old man was a scholar, originally a virtuous wife and a filial daughter, and a happy family. However, at the beginning of the year, Huan'er's mother fell seriously ill. Although Huan'er and her father did not give up, after spending all their savings, Huan'er's mother passed away.
Just when Su Muwan didn't know what to say, the old man who was dying on the ground called her: "Miss, I know you are a kind and good person. Before you die, I beg you to promise me something."
"Dad! What are you talking nonsense! You won't have any trouble! Huan'er will take you to the clinic!" Huan'er interrupted the old man again in a hurry.
However, the old man slowly shook his head, and even his eyes began to fade away. His face suddenly turned red and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
Now even Su Muwan was startled. She quickly reached out to help the old man up with Huan'er, and said firmly: "Huan'er, hurry up, take your father to the nearest clinic."
"No, I won't go. If this lady can't agree to me, I won't feel at ease even if I die." The old man was half lying on the ground and was very determined.
Su Muwan was helpless and said, "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not postpone it."
"Miss, you saved Huan'er and me. I can't repay you, so let Huan'er be a maid for the lady!"
"Dad?" After the old man finished speaking, Huan'er was shocked. She didn't expect her father to say this.
Su Muwan also quickly refused, "Old man, this is not allowed."
The old man continued, "Huan'er, my father has taught you that you should repay the kindness of a drop of water from a spring. Have you forgotten?"
"Huan'er, I dare not forget it, but Huan'er is worried about you, Dad." Huan'er was not unwilling to repay Su Muwan, but was worried that her father would leave the world like his mother, and from then on she was left alone in this world.
"Old man, I really don't need it, so let your daughter take good care of you, right?" Su Muwan was really moved by their father and daughter who loved her deeply. Such father-daughter family affection would be something she would never get in this life. I really envy the father and daughter.
If her father could do this to her, she would be willing even if she was poor.
"Miss, listen to me." Unexpectedly, the old man insisted, and he said, "Miss, let Huan'er follow you, one to repay your kindness, and the other to see you. Although I was lucky enough to temporarily hold this life, I don't know when I will die. Those bullies are not simple people. Today, for the sake of the lady, I will spare us for the time being, but after the lady leaves, maybe Huan'er will still be killed."
After a pause, the old man continued to speak in a pleading tone: "So, please pity me, the old man who has half a piece of loess, and take Huan'er away! Huan'er is smart and alert, and he is easy to learn. He will definitely take good care of the lady."
"Old man..."
