Chapter 228 Five taels of silver

Although Mingruo lived in Donghuan Emperor for more than half a year, he only visited a few places. He has never been to this street now. Although it is lively, the fireworks are stronger, and various small stalls and shops are hawking each other to attract customers.

Not far away, a group of people formed a large circle, and someone beat the gong and sang: "Look, take a look, go up the mountain of swords, go down the sea of ​​fire..."

Mingruo looked up and saw tall wooden stakes standing in the crowd, and the "stairs" composed of sharp blades meandered up... A thin woman climbed up on the blade, and there were constant cheers around her.

Mingruo only felt that the woman stepping on the tip of the knife looked familiar. He thought for a moment, and then remembered that she was the woman who had rescued her and then came to hypnotize her to jump into the lake.

Isn’t she Miss Jin’s maid? Why did she run to the street to perform again?

The woman climbed to the highest point on the tip of the knife, then fell down little by little, stepped on the red-burned charcoal, and returned to the people. The onlookers cheered again, and the middle-aged woman held a gong and shuttled through the crowd to ask for rewards.

At this time, a young man wearing a silk shirt held a piece of silver in his hand and threw it up and down, just not throwing it into the gong: "You ask that girl to take off the cloth socks. If there is no mechanism inside, I will give this piece of silver to you."

Although people were curious whether the girl's cloth socks had hidden mechanisms to protect the soles of her feet. But in ancient times, when a woman was barefoot in front of others, she lost her innocence, and most people did not express their support.

But a few people started to cheer and shouted loudly: "Take it off quickly, I'll give you this money if I take it off."

"Take it off quickly, I have money here too!"

At first, the middle-aged woman did not have the idea of ​​asking the girl to take off her cloth socks, but when she saw the broken silver thrown from the hands of the people, she rushed straight to the girl and pulled her down: "Take off the cloth socks quickly and show everyone that we are practicing real kung fu and have no mechanism!"

Cai Yuan didn't expect that she would do this, and she was a little confused when she fell to the ground. Hearing the woman said this, she hurriedly hid her little feet under her skirt: "Don't...Don't let me take off my cloth socks..."

The middle-aged woman suddenly turned her face, grabbed the soft whip beside her and whipped it at her: "You bought it for five taels of silver. You can do whatever you want, and you can learn to talk back... You are against you!"

The woman waved her whip and whipped her randomly. Cai Yuan curled up and had nowhere to hide, and two blood marks were drawn from her cheeks.

Mingruo narrowed his eyes slightly. Isn’t this woman hypnotic? She shouldn’t be bullied like this. But looking at her timid look, she doesn’t seem to be pretending.

Alas, just be a good person again: "Stop!"

Mingruo's voice was not loud, but the woman stopped immediately. The woman had also taken two children to perform, so what could the child do? If she couldn't act well, she would beat her up. The onlookers couldn't bear to watch it, so she would throw some copper coins to persuade her. She could also get a lot of copper coins by "beating people".

After trying this trick just now, she was already tired and wanted someone to persuade her. Besides, if she really wanted to kill this stinky girl, wouldn’t her five taels of silver be wasted?

The middle-aged woman looked at Mingruo and her eyes were shiny. The young lady was dressed well and looked like a rich man: "My wife laughed, I'm just teaching this ignorant goddaughter a lesson."

"How about you, your goddaughter, sell five taels of silver to me?" Mingruo remembered that when the woman scolded her, she said she bought it for five taels of silver.

The middle-aged woman didn't expect that Mingruo didn't persuade her, but wanted to buy someone directly. Her eyes rolled: "I bought her well for five taels of silver, but I have trained her for a long time. Look at her ability to get a fire under the sea of ​​swords, she is worth fifty taels!"

I just heard Mingruo say he wanted five taels of silver to buy this girl, and the young men who just made fun of the rice balls were also moved - this girl is not so beautiful, but has a special charm. I won’t lose money when I buy it for five taels, even if I don’t like it in the future, I can still be a maid. In the worst case, I don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it in the flower building.

"Auntie, are you joking? You have been beaten like this by you. I have to pay more than ten taels to show her the medicine for the injury. If it is not cured, I will pay dozens of taels." Ming Ruo calculated the accounts carefully, and everyone looked at Cai Yuan, who had shrunk into a ball. This girl seemed to be really not very good, and she looked almost out of breath.

The woman squatted in front of Cai Yuan and reached out to find out. Sure enough, she was very weak and seemed to be about to die at any time.

The middle-aged woman rushed to Mingruo and stretched out her hand: "Five liang is five liang, I'll sell it!"

"Take out the body contract first and I'll take a look." Mingruo spread his hands.

The woman took out a body cloak from her sleeve. Mingruo looked at her in a pretentious manner, but she could not tell the truth and could only look at Si Haochen with a small look of help.

Si Haochen raised his eyebrows slightly at her, Mingruo rolled his eyes helplessly, and shouted softly: "Husband."

"Yes." Si Haochen's deep eyes were filled with a smile and he nodded slightly.

Mingruo took out five taels of silver from his purse and threw it to the middle-aged woman: "Give it."

The woman took the silver, afraid that Mingruo would regret it, so she pinched the gong under her armpit, carried the "Daoshan" wooden stake with her back hand, and ran away with a steadily step. Mingruo was stunned. This is the legendary tomboy who could "change water with one hand"...

After watching the fun, the crowd gradually dissipated. Mingruo walked to the girl and squatted down: "Everyone is gone, you can get up."

As a doctor with good medical skills, Ming Ruo could naturally see that the girl's injuries looked serious, but in fact they were not fatal. Just now, it was to cooperate with him that she looked dying.

Cai Yuan got up from the ground and kowtowed to Mingruo directly: "Thank you, benefactor, to help me."

Mingruo took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from the ‘sleeved bag’ and stuffed it to her with the body: “No need to thank you. As long as you are not so miserable next time you see you, and you don’t want to harm me, that’s fine.”

Cai Yuan clenched the golden sore medicine in her hand and returned the contract to Mingruo: "Since my benefactor bought me, I am yours. I will never escape privately or rebel against my master."

Mingruo lacks manpower, but he doesn't want to bring people into the royal palace rashly. He should not have the intention to harm others, but he should be wary of others. "Okay, I'll arrange a place for you to recuperate from the injury first."

Mingruo hired a carriage and planned to send Cai Yuan to a medicine hall first. The three of them got on the carriage, and Cai Yuan hurriedly in a corner of the carriage.
