Shitou wiped away his tears and muttered: “I thought of my sister when I saw this girl.”

While talking about Shitou, he untied the purse around his waist and took out a twenty-tale of silver ingot.

Gu Qing gratefully took the silver in his hand and was about to run to hand it over to the middleman when two thugs came over, grabbed Gu Fei, and left.

Gu Qing shouted: “Let her go, I have money!”

The two thugs ignored him and dragged Gu Fei away. Only then did Gu Qing see that the white tunic on the girl’s back was stained red with blood.

“Wu wu wu.” Gu Qing started crying like a child and walked towards the middleman while crying.

“Now that I have the money, return my sister’s deed of sale to me.” Gu Qing held the money in one hand and spread it out with the other.

The middleman didn’t bother, he rummaged through a stack of deeds of sale. He was about to hand it over when suddenly, the madam shouted: “Wait a minute, I’ll pay 25 taels of silver for this girl!” ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing was stunned, and the audience was in a state of panic.

It was originally a good reunion between the brother and sister, but the madam has lost her mind and gone crazy, insisting on getting a girl into a brothel.

The indignant people said: “You old bastard, you have lost your conscience!”

“You bastard should be struck by lightning, you don’t know how to do good things!”

“You better not have a son!”

Gu Fei stared at the madam. If there weren’t countless pairs of eyes watching, she wanted to rush over and beat her to death!

Gu Qing was at a loss. The price increased by another five taels of silver. Where could he get the money?

At this moment, Xiao Yu get off the horse, pushed aside the crowd, walked to the stage, and glared at the madam fiercely: “You bitch, are you tired of living? I rarely want to do something good, but you have to stop me!”

“You have more money than me, right? I have more than enough money to buy the entire Nanshi!”

“Shitou, give me money, and I’ll throw it to this old godly woman to death!”

Shitou who was holding the pouch was very worried: Young Master, we only have banknotes now, how can you smash people to death?

Gu Fei looked at Xiao Yu and finally showed her first smile in this world.

This pretentious second-generation official was full of life!

The place where she lived was no longer the post-apocalyptic world full of zombies, or a prison. This was the living world!

As soon as Xiao Yu raised his eyes and saw Gu Fei, he was stunned by her smile. Although this girl was unkempt, she still had a pretty smile.

The Madam was startled when she saw Xiao Yu. At first, Xiao Yu was far away, so she didn’t see what he was wearing clearly. Then she suddenly saw that he was wearing a silk robe. She panicked. She was the master of a brothel. She was well-informed and knew that silk was not something that ordinary people could wear.

She better not offend noble people because of her dark little thoughts.

The madam’s mind was spinning very fast. She immediately knelt on the ground and slapped her face left and right: “My lord, please calm down. This old lady was just joking. I don’t want this girl anymore!”

Xiao Yu snorted and said nothing.

That middleman was also a smart person. Seeing the attitude of the madam, he knew that he was someone who could not afford to offend.

He quickly took the silver from Gu Qing’s hand and presented the deed of betrayal with both hands.

Gu Qing took the deed of betrayal, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again and again until he confirmed that it was the girl’s deed, then he carefully put it in his sleeve.

He hurriedly went over to help Gu Fei, and the two of them walked off the stage.

Gu Qing pulled Gu Fei and knelt to Xiao Yu, and kowtowed three times: “Young Master’s kindness is so great that I will never forget it. Please send someone to go home with us brothers and sisters to collect the money.”

Xiao Yu waved his hand carelessly: “Get up, there’s no need to pay back the money. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll reward you that money.”

 

There was a kind-hearted person in the audience who said: “Hey, middleman, you are doing this business of buying and selling people all day long, why don’t you try to do good things this time, and let this little brother go home to get the money. It won’t delay you too much.”

“He looks very pitiful.”

“Yes, if you do this, you will do a good deed.”

Other people also commented in support.

The middleman was a little embarrassed and looked at the madam: “Sister, look at it, why don’t we just forget about this girl, and you can choose someone else.”

Hearing this, Gu Qing looked at the Madam with hope.

The Madam sneered: “I don’t want to, I’m going to buy this girl!”

If they were brother and sister, it would be fine. But they were brother and sister. The madam remembered that day she was sold by her brother and sister-in-law. Bah, what kind of false kinship!

The madam turned to the middleman and said: “I’m done choosing, let’s settle the accounts!”

Gu Qing looked at the madam with despair. If he just watched his sister being sold into a brothel, he wouldn’t want to live anymore. His family would not let him go.

Gu Fei stood on the stage, unable to do anything for a moment.

If she had given a little time, this matter wouldn’t be a problem. This madam was too hateful.

In anxiousness, Gu Fei swept her eyes around, and suddenly, she saw a servant holding a horse’s reign while standing under the stage. The servant looked at Gu Fei as he wiped away his tears.

Next to the servant was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes riding a horse. He looked like he came from a wealthy family. He wore a gold crown on his head and a tapestry robe woven with gold thread. His face was expressionless.

Gu Fei’s heart moved. His clothes were something ordinary people couldn’t wear. This thing was a tribute. Except for the royal family, only those of the third rank or above were qualified to wear this.

One time, Madam Hou also received two tasseled silk coats. She treated them like treasures. She would only put them on when going out to be guests.

This young master’s identity was not simple!

In ancient times, what was most useful was not money, but status!

No matter how rich a businessman is, he must kneel when he sees an official! The four classes in ancient times, the scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, have no right to speak.

As for this madam, she was worse than the lowest businessman.

Suddenly, in Gu Fei’s hands hiding in her sleeves, a small knife appeared. This small knife can cut iron like clay, so the rope in her hands broke with just one cut.

Gu Fei jumped off the stage desperately, rushed to the young master, and knelt with a plop.

“Young Master, I can see that you are talented like a jade tree stands in the wind, and handsome. You must be a kind person with a chivalrous heart. Please lend me 20 taels of silver and let my brother buy me back. I promise to return the money immediately as soon as we get back home.”

Xiao Yu was startled and grinned: “You girl, have good taste.”

“I—I am exactly what you said, not only handsome but also chivalrous!”

The people around him had different expressions on their faces when they heard what the young master said. It was rare for someone to praise himself in public.

The middleman on the stage reacted at this moment. He frowned and shouted: “Go and catch that girl!”

Gu Qing also ran over at this moment, knelt next to Gu Fei, and kowtowed to Xiao Yu: “This young master, I beg you, please lend me 20 taels of silver.”

Xiao Yu waved his hand: “It’s not a big deal. Shitou, give him 20 taels of silver!”

He turned his head to look at Shitou and saw his servant wiping away his tears.

Xiao Yu kicked him lightly and said: “Why are you crying? Get the money quickly.”

 

The middleman smiled and said: “Okay.”

Gu Qing was anxious: “I wanted this girl first, you have to sell her to me!”

The middleman stretched out his hand and said, “Okay, bring me 20 taels, and you can take them away, girl.”

Gu Fei frowned. There were banknotes in her space. If Gu Qing was closer to her, she could place the banknote on him with her consciousness. However, she didn’t have agreement with Gu Qing in advance. And she was worried that if Gu Qing, who was wearing coarse cloth, would suddenly take out such a large sum of money, these people will be suspicious.

At this time, Gu Qing suddenly knelt down in front of the crowd and said: “Big brother, aunt, or uncle, please kindly lend me 20 taels of silver to buy this girl first. After that, I’ll go back home and get the silver.”

Gu Fei looked at her elder brother helplessly. Now, she couldn’t give the money in her hand at all.

He said he doesn’t have money, so how could she give him twenty taels of silver notes all at once.

But who would lend money to a stranger for no reason?

What’s more, twenty taels was not a small amount. For many farmers, their annual expenses were only three or four taels of silver.

Gu Fei squatted on the stage, watching her elder brother kowtow to the strangers desperately, feeling extremely sad.

The madam standing next to him suddenly looked at Gu Qing who was kowtowing and smiled: “Brother, looking at your outfit, you don’t look like someone who can afford 20 taels. Besides, you only need a few taels of silver to marry a wife.”

“You insist on spending 20 taels on this girl, and you are so anxious. Does this girl have anything to do with you?”

Gu Fei’s heart skipped a beat. She had deliberately pretended not to know Gu Qing before, just because she was afraid that the middleman would know their relationship and then ask for a huge price.

Anyone with a little bit of brains should be able to see Gu Qing’s current appearance.

Gu Qing gritted his teeth, turned around and kowtowed to the woman on the stage, “This eldest sister, to be honest, this is my biological sister. I beg you to have mercy and let our family reunite.”

The woman looked at Gu Qing blankly for a while, then suddenly sneered: “What family reunion? This girl was sold to the Houfu by your family back then, right?”

“When you sold her, did you think of her as your family member?”

Gu Qing looked ashamed and was speechless.

At that time, their father was seriously ill, and the few acres of land left in the family were sold to buy medicine, but the money was still not enough. In desperation, their grandmother took the initiative to sell the six-year-old Gu Fei. Gu Fei could be sold for either five taels of silver on a death contract or two taels of silver on a living contract.

Their Grandmother was so cruel. She signed a death contract because two taels of silver were not enough for the medicine.

Gu Qing still remembered the day his sister was taken away. She was holding on to the door frame and refused to leave. Their mother also cried so hard that she fainted in the room.

Their father was lying on the bed unconscious.

He and his two younger brothers knelt on the ground and begged their grandmother not to sell their sister. Gu Sanlang also said to their Grandmother to sell him instead, but she said: “I can’t just watch your father die. And you, Sanlang, your are a man who can establish our Gu Family, so you can’t be sold.”

Their father finally be able to drink the medicine, turned around, and slowly came back to life.

When he learned that the family had sold his only daughter in exchange for his life, he remained silent for a long time and then said: “My life was saved by my daughter. In this life, as long as I still have breath, I must redeem her.”

Since then, redeeming Gu Fei has become a worry for the family.

Over the years, the family had saved up all the monthly money that Gu Fei had brought back, intending to redeem her. However, she has a death contract. Even if they had enough money, as long as the owner wouldn’t let her go, they can’t do anything about it.

Now, they have the opportunity to buy her back. If they miss this, it may be really difficult in the future.

It was difficult for Gu Qing to tell the inside story of his family at this time. And it was a fact that they sold his sister. Their family owed his sister.

He just kowtowed to the madam on the stage.

 

The middleman smiled and said: “Okay, you can pick first.”

The madam walked to the stage, first selected a few little girls and asked them to stand aside, and then her eyes swept over a few older girls.

The madam pulled Bihe, first pinched her face, then asked Bihe to stretch out her hand to look at it, then pinched Bihe’s waist, and then nodded: “It’s okay, the skin and flesh are quite tender. Stand up and go over there.”

Bihe was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt in front of the madam with a plop: “Please, don’t buy me.” She would rather be a slave than go to a place like a brothel. After saying this, Bihe kowtowed with a loud “bang”.

The madam grinned, showing a big gold tooth, “Hey, girl, do you look down on our Chunxiang House? It’s good to live in our Chunxiang House. You can eat spicy food, drink well, wear silk and satin, and have a little girl to take care of you. I’m sure you won’t want to leave after you go.”

Bihe didn’t say anything, just kowtowed.

The middleman waved his hand, and two people came up and pulled Bihe to the selected girls.

Seeing that the madam was about to turn to Gu Fei’s side, Gu Fei was anxious when she suddenly saw a person running towards her not far away.

When Gu Fei saw this man, she was so excited that her body trembled slightly.

As soon as this man ran off the stage, his eyes were anxiously looking for her in the crowd.

Gu Fei suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and stretched out her hand towards this man: “Brother, please buy me.”

This person was none other than the original owner of the body’s eldest brother.

The members of the Gu Family sometimes come to the town to sell vegetables or buy things, and then visit Gu Fei at the back gate of Pingyang Houfu.

Gu Qing was very excited when he saw Gu Fei. He went to the town to buy food today and wanted to visit his sister first. Unexpectedly, he heard on the way that the Houfu had been raided. Gu Qing asked around and happened to hear someone say that the servants of Pingyang Houfu were being sold today in Nanshi.

Gu Qing ran over desperately, fearing that he would be late, and his sister would be bought.

He was startled for a moment when he heard Gu Fei’s words and nodded repeatedly: “Buy, buy, buy, I’ll buy you.”

The middleman came over and yelled: “What are you doing!”

Gu Qing looked at the middleman and said: “I-how much does this girl cost? I want to buy her.”

The middleman looked Gu Qing up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing blue clothes, he sneered: “Okay, you can take the 20 taels of silver with you.”

“20, 20 taels?” Gu Qing was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak.

The middleman said impatiently: “This is a first-class maidservant from Pingyang Houfu. Not only can she sew and thread, but she is also literate. 20 taels is like picking up for free.”

Gu Qing gritted his teeth and said, “I, I will go back to get the money. Please keep this girl for me.”

He only had a few coins with him, and he came to the city to buy food today.

The middleman sneered: “I won’t give you this guarantee. Did you see that this eldest sister is waiting to pick people?”

Gu Qing begged anxiously: “Brother, just do it. I’ll go back and get the money. I’ll be back in an hour or two!”

He doesn’t know if their family has so much money, maybe he has to borrow it.

The madam walked over and took a serious look at Gu Fei, who was standing in front of the stage: “Hey, this girl has nice eyebrows. Why is her face so gray?”

“Haha, you must have covered your face on purpose, you are quite clever.”

The corner of Gu Fei’s mouth twitched and said nothing.

The middleman smiled and said: “Is there still something that can escape from your eyes, eldest sister?”

The madam waved her hand and said: “I want this girl.”

 

Gu Fei smiled bitterly: “It’s not up to me.”

She whispered in the second young lady’s ear: “I have hidden all your money and gold hairpins. If I can escape, I will find a way to find you.”

After speaking, Gu Fei touched a handful of ashes on the ground and smeared it on her face. As soon as she struggled to stand up, the jailer came over, opened the prison door, and shouted coldly: “Every servant, come out, and tell me your name one by one.”

The female servants got up somewhat happily. Finally, they no longer have to stay in this hellish place.

The four little girls also stood up and stood behind the kitchen servants.

At this moment, Gu Fei realized something and put some fruit and a few steamed buns on the quilt. Then she whispered to the second young lady: “I left something for you in the quilt. Hide it yourself so that no one finds it.”

The second young lady looked back at the quilt, shook her head, and looked at Gu Fei eagerly. She didn’t want anything, she just wanted Feicui!

The jailer in front quickly announced her name. Gu Fei lowered her head and walked to the door: “Feicui”

The jailer glanced at her and asked: “First-class maid, Feicui?”

Gu Fei nodded, the jailer checked the booklet in his hand, and Gu Fei was quickly pushed away.

When Gu Fei looked back, the second young lady was holding on to the wooden fence and looking at her with tears in her eyes, like an abandoned little puppy.

“Take care——” Gu Fei mouthed and turned around to leave.

Gu Fei and many girls and old women were strung up by a rope from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and walked through the street.

Many people pointed at them along the way.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived at Nanshi.

Gu Fei and the others were quickly handed over to the middleman of human trade and were pulled to a platform to stand with numb expressions on their faces.

The middleman jumped on the stage and began to work hard to attract business.

“Come and see, these are all servants of Pingyang Houfu. They have been trained well and can be used right away after you buy them.”

The middleman pulled over a little girl and said: “Look at this pretty little girl. You can buy her to work during the day and warm your bed at night. It only cost 10 taels of silver!”

“Master, I see that you are a wealthy man. Buy one, for 10 taels, and this little girl can work for you as you please!”

Standing in the audience, a well-built middle-aged man was picking his teeth and said: “It’s expensive. This kind of girl only costs five taels of silver at most.”

The middleman smiled and said, “The price is not expensive, sir. This is a girl from Pingyang Houfu. She can do anything to serve tea and water.”

The middle-aged man still shook his head: “It’s too young. It will take another two years to raise it after I buy it.”

The middleman looked into the crowd and grabbed Bihe, the eldest maidservant in the eldest young lady: “If you don’t like it, why don’t you buy this girl? This is a maidservant of the eldest young lady, who specializes in serving the mistress. You can give me 20 taels and use her immediately!”

“Look at this body and face, you can’t buy it for 20 taels and suffer a loss, you won’t be cheated!”

The middle-aged man seemed a little moved, staring at Bihe’s chest: “It’s still too small.”

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged woman dressed in a flashy dress came over and smiled at the people on the stage: “20 taels are not too expensive for me, let me take her first!”

Gu Fei saw this woman in the crowd and took a few steps back. The way this woman was dressed showed that she didn’t come from a good place.

Sure enough, Gu Fei heard someone in the audience whispering: “Isn’t this the madam from Chunxiang House?”

Gu Fei even lowered her head.

It would be troublesome if she was sold into a brothel. With her injuries, she would not be able to escape.

 

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Fei jumped out, placed her left and right hands on both sides of the heads of the two women standing side by side, and then hit them hard in the middle.

Before the two women understood what was going on, their heads hit each other. After a muffled sound, the two of them shook a few times and slowly fell to the ground.

The remaining woman who was still standing looked at the few lying on the ground, stepped back, and hurriedly picked up the quilt on the ground: “Feicui, here’s the quilt for you.”

Gu Fei took it, threw one to the little girls, and took one for herself.

The little girls looked at Gu Fei with gratitude: “Thank you, Sister Feicui.”

A clever little girl picked up some straw and spread it against the wall: “Sister Feicui, Second Miss, please sit here.”

Gu Fei slowly lay down on the straw, breathing heavily. Her injuries hurt badly.

The second young lady was very anxious: “Feicui, let me see the injury on your back.”

Gu Fei shook her head: “You don’t have to look, it won’t kill me.”

There was medicine in her space, but she couldn’t use it right now.

The second young lady beat her head: “It’s because I’m useless.”

Gu Fei was not in the mood to comfort the second young lady at the moment. She closed her eyes and her consciousness entered her own space.

What she awakened in her previous life was the ability of space.

The things in the space were just like when she left that world.

The space as big as two basketball courts was divided into two areas.

There was a tent in one corner, which contained her personal belongings and daily necessities, including shampoo, shower gel, sanitary napkins, etc. that she searched for in the supermarket in her previous life.

The second young lady’s banknotes and jewelry were also placed here.

The boxes piled high in the rest of the place are daily supplies that were originally intended to be shipped to the base.

Because she had awakened the space power, she was responsible for material transportation at the base.

They evacuated these supplies from a supermarket warehouse that had not been discovered by anyone. It was during this transportation of supplies back to the base that they encountered a zombie king. The last image in Gu Fei’s mind was that of the zombie king’s nails digging into her throat.

There were also bread and fruit snacks that Gu Fei usually collects in the space, but now, she can only look at them but not eat them.

Gu Fei licked his lips, her consciousness lingering on those snacks for a while, and then she reluctantly withdrew from the space.

When her consciousness returned, Gu Fei felt a little coolness behind her back.

She turned around and saw that the second young lady had lifted her clothes and was blowing on her back.

Gu Fei wanted to say there was no need to blow, it was useless, but seeing the serious look on the second young lady’s face, she shut her mouth and let her blow, which might make her feel better.

The pain and exhaustion made Gu Fei drift off to sleep at some point.

At dawn, Gu Fei was woken up.

Several jailers knocked on the wooden fence with water and firesticks: “Get up, everyone. All the servants of Pingyang Houfu, you stand at the door, and you will be called one by one. You will go to Nanshi in a while.”

Gu Fei pushed herself up and accidentally pulled the wound on her back again. She couldn’t help but hissed. Nanshi was a business that bought and sold slaves, oxen, horses, and livestock. Do they want to sell them all?

The second young lady also sat up. She looked at Gu Fei in horror: “Feicui, what should I do? What should I do if you leave?”

Gu Fei looked at the second young lady worriedly. Such a delicate little girl was worrisome. She doesn’t know if she would be able to survive if she left.

The second lady grabbed Feicui’s arm: “Feicui, don’t go, please stay with me. I’m so scared to be alone.”
