Chapter 118 Don’t make a big mistake (8)
Mo Ci looked in the direction the girl had just been looking, thinking to himself, this selling herself to bury her father is probably just a cover, as for the purpose...
Not far away, a somewhat fat man strode over, followed by several servants who looked ferocious.
The man looked to be about 1.7 meters tall, and because of his overly fat body, he looked even shorter and fatter.
He looks arrogant.
Mo Ci slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. As those people came over, the people gathered in a circle gradually dispersed.
Mo Ci had just arrived, so naturally he didn't know the identity of the fat man. He just kept his eyes moving between the two of them.
The boy slowly raised his head, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying, but Mo Ci could see clearly that his eyes were red from anger.
Wow, accidents really happen so frequently in Lanya Town.
Thinking about it, Mo Ci had no intention of intervening at all. Although he wanted to do good things, he didn't know the whole story. If he made things worse, wouldn't his merits be deducted?
Therefore, Mo Ci didn't think of interfering in other people's business. He just watched silently, but the young man named Yu Yaoxing flashed through his mind unconsciously.
He thought that since something like this happened here, according to the protagonist law, he should also appear here.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before Mo Ci put it behind his mind. He continued to look at the scene in front of him.
The fat man came to the two kneeling people in a hurry. His eyes did not fall on the prettier girl, but on the still young boy.
"Selling myself to bury my father? How much? I'll pay for it!"
The fat man's voice was clear enough, but because of the unclear lust in his voice, it became vulgar.
Mo Ci narrowed his eyes, catching the whispers of people around him.
"Why is Pang Sheng here? If he really buys the person back, the living person will be turned into a corpse and thrown out tomorrow."
"Hush, I don't know who told him what happened here. Alas, these two siblings are so miserable. If they were in another place, why would they..."
"It's also because I'm short of money. Otherwise, I could help them a little. But now... Sigh."
"..."
Pang Sheng?
When Mo Ci heard the name, he looked at the fat man a few more times. Su Chengyun seemed to have some impression of this name in his memory.
He narrowed his eyes and carefully went through Su Chengyun's memory, then he suddenly remembered that when Su Chengyun first entered the world of martial arts, he looked kind-hearted and had saved Pang Sheng once.
But... Mo Ci looked at the fat man in front of him, and then thought about the person in Su Chengyun's memory. Although Pang Sheng in his memory was also a bit fat, the one in front of him was a bit too fat.
However, whether he knew her or not, it didn't affect Mo Ci's desire to watch the fun.
After hearing Pang Sheng's words, the brother and sister trembled almost at the same time. Then, the boy gritted his teeth and looked straight ahead, while the girl spoke with a weak and fragile look.
"Sir, your kindness is so great that I dare to ask for fifty taels of silver."
This was also what the girl made clear when others asked about it. This price was considered astronomical for most people. Naturally, even if others wanted to help, they were unable to do so.
After all this, didn't he finally get Pang Sheng, the lustful, ruthless and tycoon that others described as a sex-hungry ghost?
"Okay, fifty taels, give it to her. Take the boy away and leave the girl behind."
As Pang Sheng spoke, he turned around. The transaction should have been settled in cash and goods, and both parties involved were very satisfied with the situation.
Unexpectedly, a man suddenly appeared in front of Pang Sheng, with a righteous look on his face, speaking loudly.
"I'll pay you fifty taels to sell yourselves and bury your father."
Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Ciyin's eyes twitched in the crowd, thinking that this Yu Yaoxing was really... more of a hindrance than a help.
He is even more daring and... ignorant of right and wrong than when Su Chengyun first entered the martial arts world.
Yu Yaoxing didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He just happened to hear people talking about Pang Sheng, and they were all negative.
It was not known whether it was out of heroism or something else, but he stood in front of Pang Sheng with his head held high, completely unaware of Pang Sheng's dissatisfied gaze, and instead looked at the brother and sister over there.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Don't be afraid. I'll also pay for your father's funeral. But if you go with him, you might die young."
Yu Yaoxing spoke in a righteous manner, not noticing that after he said this, the brother and sister looked a little stiff, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction with him.
The group of people who were originally standing around Yu Yaoxing couldn't wait to disperse, fearing that they would be implicated.
Mo Ci also followed the crowd's movements, stepped back a few steps to make himself less conspicuous, and then continued to watch them.
Pang Sheng's face looked very ugly at this time. Although his face had never looked good due to his fat body, it was obviously even uglier at this time.
"Boy, are you going to cut off your uncle Pang's beard?"
Yu Yaoxing glanced at the brother and sister over there in a soothing manner, and after hearing this, he looked back at Yu Yaoxing, "If you haven't paid the money yet, the deal is not considered complete, and I am not cutting in."
"When doing business, one should always strive for mutual agreement, right? You're not trying to force a sale, are you?"
This fallacy may sound reasonable, but in reality, it depends on one's own opinion.
Pang Sheng was so angry about this that he took a few deep breaths and then replied.
"That business is based on first come, first served! If you try to ruin my business today, I'll make sure you don't get away with it!"
As he spoke, Pang Sheng winked at the servant beside him, and almost the moment he finished speaking, the servant also attacked Yu Yao.
Yu Yaoxing's face was panicked for a moment because of this sudden action, but soon his hand reached to his waist, drew out the soft sword and started fighting. Pang Sheng had already hidden behind him, and he watched Yu Yaoxing's movements becoming more and more free and easy.
While looking at the brother and sister not far from him, he gave up the idea of paying and thought that since that guy wanted to intercept and do the good thing, he would let him do it for free.
With this in mind, Pang Sheng said to the two remaining servants who were protecting him, "Go and deal with the brother and sister."
"what--!"
Pang Sheng had barely finished speaking when people nearby cried out in surprise. They saw that the two siblings, who had appeared so weak just now, now had fierce looks in their eyes, daggers in their hands, and were stabbing straight at Pang Sheng.
Pang Sheng was stabbed in the thigh and back. At the same time, his two servants also attacked the brother and sister.
The scene seemed to be in chaos. Many onlookers were afraid of danger and scattered. Soon, only Pang Sheng's people, the brother and sister, Yu Yaoxing and Mo Ci were left in the entire open space.
Mo Ci stood there quietly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, and did not leave.
However, after Yu Yaoxing noticed the actions of the siblings, he was stunned for a moment and was hit by a club by the servant. While staggering, he saw Mo Ci out of the corner of his eye. His eyes lit up and he shouted immediately.
"Brother Su Chengyun, please help me."
This sentence made everyone look at Mo Ci. Mo Ci frowned slightly and glanced at Yu Yaoxing coldly. This guy was really a troublemaker without any sense of propriety.
At the same time, the injured Pang Sheng also heard the three words "Su Chengyun". He endured the pain and looked over, just to meet Mo Ci's indifferent expression.
Pang Sheng held his breath and shouted, "Just arrest those two bitches, don't worry about the others!"
