Li Qianmo was too lazy to argue with him, so he pulled the bell to his side and said coldly: "She is my sister."
Liu Shusheng sneered: "If she were your sister, how could she keep struggling and scolding when you pulled her?"
Li Qianmo felt helpless and said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."
Scholar Liu looked at Ling Dang, and Ling Dang saw Scholar Liu looking at him, smiled and waved to him. Scholar Liu looked at Ling Dang’s smiling face, and suddenly became confused in his heart. Before he knew it, he fell into a trance and stared at him infatuatedly.
She was ringing the bell and a little saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.
The people watching the excitement began to laugh and ridicule again when they saw this. Scholar Liu was awakened by the laughter of everyone, and realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly saluted the bell and said apologetically: "Young man, I'm rude, don't blame me, girl."
Ling Ding was amused by his funny look and laughed brightly. Scholar Liu saluted her again and said, "May I ask, girl, is this person next to you your brother?"
Lingdang responded with a smile: "No, he is not my brother."
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this. He looked at her with wide eyes and thought to himself: "This little girl won't cause any trouble to me right now. It would be terrible if she causes any big trouble."
Liu Shusheng was extremely proud when he heard this. He waved his folding fan and pointed at Li Qianmo, and said with joy: "You thief, you are really cunning. You robbed a woman and you talked nonsense. If I had believed you just now, I would have been struck by lightning."
Okay, please let go of this girl quickly, and I won’t embarrass you too much."
Li Qianmo ignored him, just looked at the bell and said calmly: "Don't you have anything to say? If you don't say anything, I will be taken away."
Lingdang chuckled and suddenly shouted: "He is my husband-in-law, not my brother." After saying that, he hugged Li Qianmo's right arm tightly, and Li Qianmo shook her twice without shaking her away.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they burst into laughter. One of them covered his belly and laughed and said: "I'm laughing to death, I'm laughing to death. Liu Shusheng wanted to be a hero to save the beauty and get a cheap Taoist priest at the same time, but who knows?
When I meet a flower who has an owner, I become a mandarin duck with a stick for no reason, haha..."
Everyone was trying to seduce Scholar Liu with their words. Scholar Liu was so embarrassed and ashamed that he unfolded his folding fan to cover his face, squeezed out of the crowd and walked away as if he was running away.
Seeing that the excitement was over, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Before leaving, they were still discussing what had just happened with gusto, and the sound of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Li Qianmo waited for everyone to disperse, glared at Lingdang fiercely, and said, "Who told you to talk nonsense!"
Lingdang blinked and looked at him with big eyes, puzzled: "How could I be talking nonsense?"
Li Qianmo snorted coldly and said: "In the future, you are not allowed to tell others that I am your husband-in-law, but rather that I am your brother."
When Ling Dang heard this, her expression changed drastically, she lowered her head and pursed her lips and said, "You don't want me anymore?" After saying that, a teardrop slid down her long eyelashes, emitting crystal light.
Li Qianmo's heart softened when he saw her pitiful appearance. In just a moment, he suddenly woke up again and cursed secretly: "Damn it, how could I be bewitched by her." Thinking of this, he turned around and stopped looking at her.
, come out of sight.
Ling Ding didn't want to let him get his wish. He took a step forward and came to him again, still looking pitiful. Li Qianmo turned around again, and Ling Ding moved in front of him again. After doing this three times, Li Qianmo simply turned his eyes away.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he thought to himself: "Come on, let's see what you can do, I can't see you."
When Lingdang saw him closing his eyes, she stretched out her hand to separate the eyelids of his eyes and murmured: "Look at me, look at me..."
Li Qianmo pushed her hands away and scolded: "Stop making trouble. If you don't obey me, I will never pay attention to you again."
As soon as Lingdang heard this, she quickly hugged his right arm, shook it and said coquettishly: "Brother Qianmo is not angry, not angry, Lingdang is obedient, the most obedient."
Li Qianmo snorted coldly, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down. He led her forward and said: "Since you said you listen to me, in the future you are not allowed to say that I am your husband-in-law or your brother in front of others.
, do you know?”
Lingdang said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say you wanted to marry me, and you want to deny it again?" After saying this, tears started to fall again.
Li Qianmo said warmly: "I haven't married you yet. After I marry you, you can tell everyone."
"Oh..." Bell clicked and said slowly, "I know." His tone seemed a bit gloomy.
Li Qianmo expected that she would not cause any more trouble, so he was not in a hurry, and the two of them walked slowly toward the west city gate.
After walking for about two cups of tea, Li Qianmo heard shouts and women's cries from the gambling den in front of him. He guessed what was going on inside, and silently thought about his business, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
However, things went against expectations. When passing by the entrance of the gambling house, Lingdang stopped, looked into the gambling house, and murmured: "That sister is so pitiful."
Li Qianmo snorted coldly and said angrily: "How pitiful can it be." After saying that, he tried to drag her away, but the bell stood there as if it had taken root. Li Qianmo pulled her three times in a row but failed to shake her at all.
I couldn't help but said angrily: "Lingdang, you are disobedient again."
Lingdang turned around and said inexplicably: "No, how could I be disobedient?" Li Qianmo snorted angrily and said: "Then I drag you, why don't you follow me?"
Ling Dang chuckled and said, "You just pulled me, but you didn't say anything." Li Qianmo felt his head was as big as a bucket. He took three long breaths to relieve the depression in his chest, and said slowly, "Don't look at it.
, come with me quickly." After saying that, he turned around and left. Unexpectedly, he still didn't pull the bell. He couldn't help but look back and said angrily: "Why are you still disobedient?"
Lingdang murmured in fear: "But the sister inside is so pitiful, do we not care about her?"
Li Qianmo said lightly: "There are so many poor people in the world. If I have to take care of every one of them, shouldn't I die of exhaustion?"
The two were talking to each other, and many people on the street came to this place, shouting: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, look at the excitement, Chu Jianghai is selling his daughter..."
Li Qianmo was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Before he could react, the group of people rushed into the gambling house with him and Ling Dang. He looked at Ling Ding beside him and saw her face was full of joy.
He was so angry that he wanted to yell, but he was afraid of attracting public anger, so he had to swallow it. He was getting angry when he heard a middle-aged monk next to him say: "Oh, this Chu Jianghai is really worse than a beast.
, in order to pay off gambling debts, he actually had to use his own daughter to pay off the debts, Chu Chu is really unlucky for eight lifetimes to deal with such an old man."
A monk with a shrill voice next to him said: "Hey, mud can't hold up a wall. This old loser Chu Jianghai killed his Taoist companion four years ago because he owed a bunch of gambling debts, and now he's here to kill his own son."
You are a daughter, what a sin, poor Chu Chu is so young and beautiful, but he wants to take advantage of that **** Yang Zhenyue, alas..."
Li Qianmo couldn't help but be curious when he heard this and asked: "What are you afraid of if you owe money? Just hide in the city. Anyway, you can't use force in the city. Who dares to do anything to him?"
The two casual cultivators turned to look at Li Qianmo and said with a smile: "Young fellow Taoist, are you new here? When he borrowed money, he signed a debt contract talisman. Just take this contract talisman to the debt settlement office to find it."
The city envoy, the city envoy will immediately send people to arrest the debtor and ask him to pay back the money, and if he fails to pay the money, he will give up his life."
Li Qianmo was moved when he heard this, and exclaimed: "How can you be so cruel?" Another casual cultivator said happily: "Hey, if you are not cruel, then everyone will not be able to repay their debts. Then Chu Jianghai has been in four years
I was almost executed by the city guard because I had no money to repay my debts."
Li Qianmo asked curiously: "Hey, how could you let him go later?"
The casual cultivator smiled and said: "Hey, how can I let him go? It's just because his Taoist companion suffered death for him. That stupid woman is really doing nothing to save this scourge, and now she has come to scourge her own daughter...
..”
After hearing these words, Li Qianmo's chest burst with shock and anger. He couldn't help but think of Li Yizhi who betrayed him and his mother, and the long-dormant anger in his heart was inexplicably ignited.
At this time, Lingdang tugged on Li Qianmo's sleeve and said crisply: "Brother, why don't you look at it? That sister is so pitiful. The bearded one bullied her, and the rat-faced one also bullied her...
"
Li Qianmo looked around and saw a middle-aged man in yellow robe sitting at the gambling table, looking at the corner with a sneer on his face. In the corner was a girl in white curled up, who looked just a little louder than a bell. Fifteen
She was six years old, curled up in the corner and crying softly. In front of her knelt a middle-aged man with a goatee, and he said half-persuading, half-begging: "Chu Chu, just treat me as a pitiful father.
Well, when dad wins, he will definitely redeem you."
Chu Chu's face was filled with tears, and she said with grief: "You know what you said when my mother died, but in such a short time, you have completely forgotten what you said." She said with a mixture of sadness and anger in her heart.
At the end, I was so excited that I was shaking all over.
Chu Jianghai burst into tears and said: "Chu Chu, dad knows that he was wrong. He will never gamble again. Just promise him. We have known Yang Zhenyue for several years. If you go to him, he will definitely know you."
Treat you well, daddy, please." After saying that, he kowtowed his head. Seeing this, everyone around him pointed and commented, making a noise.
Chu Chu remained silent, just hugging his knees and burying his head in tears. Seeing that she still refused, Chu Jianghai suddenly became anxious and said: "Chu Chu, daddy loves you the most. How could daddy use you to pay off debts? In fact, daddy has long wanted to
You are betrothed to Yang Zhenyue, and the spiritual stones he and I took were actually just betrothal gifts..."
When Chu Jianghai said this, he was drowned out by the curses of the crowd. All the onlookers scolded him for being shameless and worse than a beast. Chu Chu also shook his head and cried sadly.
Over there, Yang Zhenyue lost his patience and said impatiently: "Old Ghost Chu, can you do it? If not, forget it. You can follow me to find the city envoy to judge, so there is no need to embarrass your daughter."
Chu Jianghai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly crawled to him, begging: "Don't ask for it, don't ask for it, fellow Taoist Yang, please give me some more time, I will tie him up to worship with you."
marriage."
Yang Zhenyue sneered and said: "Who wants to marry her? I don't like those mundane things. Just send them directly to my room and my bridal chamber, hahaha..." He was extremely proud after saying this, haha
After laughing, Chu Jianghai knelt on the ground to apologize. Seeing this, everyone around him couldn't help but booed, and they all looked down upon Chu and Yang.
Li Qianmo was looking at it seriously when he suddenly felt the bell tugging at his sleeve, so he turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lingdang blinked at him and said, "Brother Qianmo, this sister looks so pitiful."
Li Qianmo rolled his eyes at her and said angrily: "Do you understand, how do you know she is pitiful?"
Lingdang tilted her head and said seriously: "Lingdang understands. The man with the beard and the man with the sharp mouth and triangular eyes bullied that sister. When the sister was bullied, she cried. She cried so sadly."
