Chapter 77 Goodbye, the girl from Yinggeyuan
Yun Shangying took two steps and turned around helplessly: "Why are you following me?"
Liu Yue blinked innocently: "I didn't follow you. I had to leave the city even when I got home."
Liu Yue didn't lie either. She really wanted to leave the city through the East Gate, but it was a little unreasonable to let the carriage go slower than Yun Shangying's footsteps.
Yun Shangying was a little helpless and touched. She didn't expect that someone with whom she only met once would care more about her life and death than her family and husband: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile!"
In fact, Liu Yue can handle this matter well if she doesn't take action. At worst, she can just go beat the drum and complain about her grievances. Anyway, she has nothing to lose. Lin Boliang is different. He cares about his own fame and future.
.
But with Liu Yue's help, things were indeed solved more easily, and she would remember this kindness.
Liu Yue nodded to express her approval of Yun Shangying's words: "Then where are you going to die? I'll pick up the money. Don't worry, I will take care of your funeral."
Yun Shangying rolled his eyes, got on the cart, and began to give directions: "Turn right ahead!"
"You are really going to seek death, I was just kidding!"
"I'm not seeking death. Since you guys can't worry about it, just go somewhere with me."
Shen Qingyan drove according to Yun Shangying's instructions. He first went to Fangshi to buy steamed buns, rice, vegetables, and meat. Then he took the food out of the city and drove towards Xianping City.
Yun Shangying directed Shen Qingyan to park in front of a ruined temple and walked in holding a rice bag.
Liu Yue also picked up two bags, a little confused: "What are you doing here?"
Yun Shangying just got a huge sum of two thousand taels and a bunch of land deeds? He doesn't have to be reduced to settling in a place like this, right?
Yun Shangying didn't explain too much, just said: "You will know when you go in."
This is a place similar to the Bodhisattva Temple where Liu Yue fell at the beginning of her journey. The only difference is that there are no big holes in the roof that she made. But this house just doesn’t have big holes. It is overgrown with grass and covered with cobwebs.
, the door was so broken that it could not be pushed open, but the whole door was moved open.
After opening the door, Liu Yue looked at the scene in the room and was speechless.
There were more than twenty girls in ragged clothes and dull expressions in the room. There were even six or seven girls huddled together in groups. When they saw someone coming in, they huddled together subconsciously.
Liu Yue looked familiar, and a terrible thought flashed through her mind: "This can't be it."
Yun Shangying nodded: "That's the girl who was imprisoned with us in Yinggeyuan that day."
"Weren't they taken back by their own family? Why are they here?"
Liu Yue asked Zeng Xian specifically, and most of the girls and children were taken back, and some girls who couldn't find their parents were properly placed by him.
But thinking about Yun Shangying, Liu Yue felt that her question was a bit redundant.
The feudal idea that women should be chaste and virtuous still persists in modern times, let alone in ancient times with backward ideas. At that time, taking back these girls must have been quite prestigious as Lord Zeng Xian.
After Zeng Xian left, it was their business to deal with the girls who had lost their virginity.
Yun Shangying lived a skilled life, set up a pot and started cooking: "It's okay to be kicked out. Some people are so cruel that they just sell their children to brothels, saying that they are not clean anyway, so why not do it for them?"
The family creates the last bit of value. In fact, many people really love their children and take them back to take good care of them, but they and I are more unlucky."
The abducted girls are good-looking and have been mediated. The brothel is naturally willing to hire these "skilled" employees, and the price they offer is not low.
Liu Yue helped cook and was a little silent when she heard Yun Shangying's words.
"I have to get back the money and land deeds just to have a place to put them." Yun Shangying said in a relaxed tone, even joking: "After all, we are sisters who have been together, so if you can help, just help!
"
In fact, Yun Shangying has never communicated with them. The girls in Yinggeyuan are too busy to take care of themselves. They are either picking up customers every day, being beaten, or running away, and being caught and locked up.
They had no chance to communicate with each other before they met in the ruined temple. Yun Shangying didn't even know their names, but decided to take care of them without hesitation.
Most of the girls who were kicked out were mentally unstable and had no ability to take care of themselves. They could only cower and mutter: "Don't beat me, don't beat me. I will be obedient."
The two who were in better condition were helping Yun Shangying cook and remained silent.
Yun Shangying picked up the fire: "I haven't thanked you yet. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a chance to escape."
Liu Yue's voice was a little muffled: "I only helped for my own sake."
She is essentially a selfish person who only cares about her family and friends. If she hadn't wanted to disturb the guards of the Wang family that day, she wouldn't have let those girls go.
"No matter what you think in your heart, it is a fact that you helped us, and you still need to thank us."
"Um."
Shen Ling'an was in a coma when she was at Wang's house. When she woke up, she met her sister-in-law. She was not hurt at all, but she was a little stunned when she saw her sisters in the ruined temple.
If my sister-in-law hadn't found me in time, would she have become like this?
Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan helped cook for the girls, and then Yun Shangying led Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan to the outer courtyard to talk: "You've seen me too, don't worry about me seeking death anymore, I'm busy taking care of them.
!No time to seek death.”
"What are you going to do next?"
"There is a village in my land deed. Let's take them to the village to raise them first, and then find a way to bring back the girls who were sold to the brothels. We can't let them escape from a wolf's den and end up in a tiger's den again, right?"
"Approximately how many people are there?"
"As far as I know, there are more than thirty, and there may be others I don't know about."
Among the eight cities in Qingzhou, some girls were transferred from far away cities. Yun Shangying couldn't talk about the news so far away. "Do you have enough money? Even if you can redeem them all, you can take care of them later."
It’s not a small expense.”
Yun Shangying raised her eyebrows: "Don't underestimate me. I am the most famous businesswoman in Xianping City. I have earned up to 800 taels of silver in a day."
Liu Yue turned her head to look at her. Yun Shangying was in high spirits when talking about her business, with pride hidden in the corners of her eyes.
Liu Yue was silent for a moment, turned to look at Shen Qingyan, opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know where to start.
However, Shen Qingyan knew Liu Yue's plan and nodded: "I agree."
Liu Yue then put her hands into her cuffs, and then took out three thousand taels of silver notes from the bracelet. She had been doing business for a month and had saved nearly four thousand taels of silver, leaving behind the necessary money needed for turnover.
Take out everything else.
Yun Shangying didn't answer: "What are you doing? I don't need your charity, and you don't look like a rich person."
Yun Shangying had very sharp eyes. Although this family had extraordinary demeanor, they all wore ordinary linen clothes, had thin calluses on their hands, and drove a donkey cart. At first glance, they did not look like rich people.
Liu Yue shrugged: "I'm not doing good deeds. I want to buy their labor for the next three years, and they have to work for me for three years."
Just giving them food and shelter is not enough to truly save them. Liu Yue must find a way to get their energy back!
Shen Qingyan: "I understand, I understand everything. I know what you are going to say just by looking at you."
I may have had less work recently. I am preparing for the exam. Woohoo.
