Chapter 549 Bought a Little Girl
Chapter 549 Bought a Little Girl
When the others heard the offer, their eyes widened, especially the little girl's uncle and his family. Their expressions were extremely complicated. You know, they only got three taels of silver for selling this girl before!
Now this black-hearted old man has sold it for ten times the price!
Si He turned his gaze towards the little girl and asked, "How much did they pay for you?"
The little girl didn't expect her to ask this question so suddenly. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "Three taels!"
The man was so angry when he heard that that he wanted to hit the girl, but just as he raised his hand, Gao You stood on tiptoe, jumped up, and in the blink of an eye was in front of the man and kicked him.
"boom!"
"what--"
The man was kicked to the side, screaming in pain. He lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
This fierce skill scared the man's companions so much that they retreated again and again. He even showed his sword, and the other side had a team of sword-wielding guards who had not yet taken action. Naturally, they were too scared to make a sound.
"Give him three taels of silver." Si He said to Gao You. After Gao You replied "yes", he threw three taels of silver next to the man.
When the man saw the small change, he was speechless and could only accept his defeat.
"Let's go and take the little girl with us." Si He retracted her gaze and walked towards the horses.
The little girl was obedient now. She didn't struggle or resist at all. She saw the situation clearly.
After Si He got on the horse, he glanced at her and rode away. The guards followed by her, while Gao You rode a horse with the little girl and followed behind.
After they left, the people in front of the inn started talking again.
Si He and her guards rode at full speed all the way. Since the official road was blocked, they could only go around the mountain road. However, because it had rained before, the road was very difficult to travel on, so they had to slow down, which resulted in it taking two to three times longer than usual.
In the evening, we finally arrived at an inn outside Guang'an City, where we had rested before.
However, before entering the inn, Si He planned to send the little girl away. After all, he bought her because he felt sorry for her and because she had some similarities with his past self, but he had no intention of raising her.
"Go ahead. There are villages and cities nearby. It won't be difficult to survive." After Si He said this to her, he handed her a piece of silver, not more, not less, just five taels, which would not be too eye-catching.
And she has already walked so far, away from those people before, so she just needs to be cautious and careful.
The little girl was a little stunned when she took the silver given by Si He. She had many guesses before, but she was still surprised to see this situation.
Not only did he let her go, he also gave her money.
Si He was about to turn around when she saw the little girl anxiously ask, "Can I follow you?"
There was suddenly a look of longing and anxiety in her eyes.
Si He looked at her begging expression and said, "I don't support idle people."
The little girl quickly said: "I won't be idle, I will work!"
This scene made Si He feel familiar, and reminded her of Wei Xiaohu.
But more importantly, I saw my former self in this little girl.
She thought about it and finally decided to keep the person, hoping that this little girl would not become the second Wei Xiaohu.
"You can stay, but let me make one thing clear to you: being idle isn't the most important thing. What's most important is your loyalty. If you ever have second thoughts, I won't forgive you."
Hearing this, the little girl was overjoyed, "Yes, Master!"
She changed her tune immediately.
Si He asked, "What's your name?"
She said: "Er Ya, do you want to change your name?"
The name was a bit rustic, but there was no need to change it. Si He said, "No, just clean yourself up first."
Arya responded, "Oh."
Leaving Erya with Gao You, Si He went into the inn.
The inn was still quite lively, and most people were talking about the recent war in Zhongzhou. In recent days, Zhongzhou had lost several cities and was placed under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.
Among them, words like "battle pet" appear repeatedly.
However, the people in the inn didn't speak very loudly, especially after Si He came in, they all turned their attention over and looked at her with different eyes.
After Si He asked for a guest room, she went upstairs and asked the guards to inquire for information.
It turned out that Yue Fuli had captured three more cities, with the help of Mo Mo. Now Mo Mo is notorious and awe-inspiring, and Yue Fuli's reputation is also growing.
However, Si He was most concerned about their safety, and fortunately, they were all safe and sound.
She had wanted Momo to stay in Xihe before, but she didn't expect it to be so clingy and follow her to the battlefield.
With its size, Yue Fuli couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
In the current situation, Si He still has to give Yue Fuli more life-saving cards, but if she does so, her reputation will probably be ruined.
But compared to fame, she cares more about Yue Fuli.
In the evening, when the night was getting darker, Si He came out of the guest room. At the door, besides the guards, there was also a little girl.
Erya had washed and dressed, and changed into a looser set of clothes, which were men's clothes. They didn't fit her at all, making her look even thinner. She was a child wearing adult clothes, but she was clean and tidy. Her hair was also washed, and she followed everyone else in combing her hair in a men's style.
Although he is still pale and thin, he still looks good and is much more pleasing to the eye.
"Master." Erya followed Gao You and others and saluted her.
Si He glanced at her and said, "Go back to your room and rest. You don't have to keep watch."
She is just a little girl and there is no point in her staying here.
Erya lowered her head and responded, "Oh."
Gao You, who was standing by, saw that she was about to leave again, so he said, "Madam, I'll go out with you."
The guards beside her also wanted to follow her. This time, she didn't need anyone to follow her most of the time, and it seemed obvious that they were useless.
Si He thought about it and agreed to let them get the things. However, she only brought Gao You and a guard with her, and the others remained in the inn.
The three of them were walking at night, which attracted a few more glances from the inn's waiter. He thought they were really strange and always liked to go out so late at night. Because they had stayed in this inn before, he had a deep impression of them.
Outside the inn, the night was dark. Although there was moonlight tonight, there were more dark clouds. The moon was in the clouds most of the time, making the night pitch black most of the time.
This place is very close to Guang'an City, so Si He and others did not ride horses. They flew all the way. She led them to a remote corner of the city wall, and climbed over the wall with them as if she was familiar with the place.
Gao You and the guards were quite confused by her behavior. Why couldn't she enter the city during the day? It felt like a thief. However, considering that this was Zhongzhou, perhaps she was avoiding trouble?
It was not until they followed her quietly to Guo's house that their expressions suddenly became tense.
After climbing over the wall of the Guo family's courtyard, you can clearly feel that there is something strange here. It is like a haunted place, full of gloom and coldness.
The backyard of the Guo family was pitch black and silent, but the air seemed to be filled with a creepy and terrifying atmosphere.
