Chapter 15

Ying Qinyue got a lot of favors, and hired a carriage in Yuecheng at night to drive out of the city.After two or three days, it was estimated that she would be far away from Yuecheng. She stopped in a remote town and sent the coachman away. She didn't want her whereabouts to fall into the hands of others.

She stayed in an inn named Fengyun. Since she had never ridden a horse, she could only ride a carriage. The bumps along the way made her exhausted, and she fell asleep early at night.

Early the next morning, she went downstairs and ordered porridge. It was still early, and she could only chat with a few people who were having breakfast.Ying Qinyue ate the porridge boredly, and ordered the waiter to add more food, the corner of her eyes inadvertently flitted out, and she was immediately attracted by the old and the young outside the door.

It was a middle-aged man, skinny, and the little girl should be his daughter, Ying Qinyue guessed.In front of the two of them stood a woman with heavy make-up, about forty years old, with a sour look, with a cross-nose and staring eyes, her lips fluttered, and she couldn't stop muttering something.

Seeing her staring at them intently, the waiter who delivered the food couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's another poor man who sells girls. The young master must not be from the local area. You don't know, when the war starts, we will be the ones who are unlucky." Ordinary people, how many people are poor and destitute, reduced to selling their children to survive. Today’s incident has been staged countless times in the flower building opposite. This bustard is also really mean. He won the watery girl, but he is still dying Lower the price!"

Ying Qinyue's heart was heavy, eating the delicious porridge, but it was tasteless.He simply got up and walked towards the opposite door.

When I got closer, I saw the heavily made-up bustard's eyes hanging, and said in a shrill voice: "Look, this baby is skinny, and it's worth the price. Twenty cents is already a lot. It's because you are pitiful, the baby looks good enough, so I'll give in! You go and ask, who is willing to pay twenty Wen for such a baby in ten miles away."

"Hua Niang, it's okay if you do, twenty Wen is really not enough. My girl is cute and smart, and she works hard. If it wasn't for the lack of money in the family, I wouldn't want to sell it." The thin middle-aged man's voice was already With a little pleading.

It was only then that Ying Qinyue could see the girl's appearance clearly. She was about ten years old.This dishonest bustard must be trying to lower the price and hurt the girl.It's just that both father and daughter were dressed in rags and their faces were sallow. The bustard saw that they were poor and deceitful, so he insisted on bargaining.

"I said, what are you still hesitating for? If you don't want to sell, leave as soon as possible! Don't try to increase the price that my Huaniang said. Nong, this is twenty yuan, take it and leave!" Huaniang said in a bad tone. Urging, he threw down twenty cents and stretched out his hand to pull the girl hiding behind the man, "Girl, come in with mom."

"Wait!" A voice interjected, and Hua Niang raised her head when she heard the voice, and stared straight at the elegant and handsome young man in front of her.

"I'll pay ten taels of silver to buy this girl, uncle, here it is." The handsome young man stretched out his hand, and a shiny silver coin lay in the palm of his hand. The middle-aged man quickly took it, and kept nodding his head to express his gratitude to the young man. And told her daughter to serve the son well, the girl nodded obediently, with tears of reluctance in the corners of her eyes.Ying Qinyue pulled the girl up and left, Hua Niang couldn't recover for a long time.

It wasn't until Hua Niang stared at the back of the two of them entering the inn in astonishment that she realized that someone had robbed her business under her nose, and the fat flew off her mouth!
"Your name is Ya'er? Come, let's sit down and eat together." The well-behaved Ya'er stood aside, staring at the porridge dishes on the table and swallowing, but did not dare to sit down without authorization because of her low status.Ying Qinyue felt sad, and softly called her to sit down.

Ya'er sat timidly, her big eyes flicked back and forth between her face and the dishes, and after a long while, she asked cautiously: "Master, can I really eat?"

Ying Qinyue nodded with a smile: "Of course, if you follow me from now on, you will never be hungry again. Also, from now on, you will call me sister... Uh, brother, my name is Xia inflammation."

Ya'er seemed a little flattered, and her immature face was immediately filled with joy, "Really? That's great! Thank you, Brother Yan. But, Brother Yan, we can't finish all these porridges, then, can I Bring some back to your parents and brother? They haven't eaten for a long time."

Ying Qinyue's face turned cold, thinking of the girl's father who wanted to sell such a well-behaved girl, she couldn't help feeling disgusted in her heart, she knew the feeling of being abandoned by her parents better than anyone else, but she didn't expect that the girl still wanted to eat when she had something to eat. Seeing the family's difficulties, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Ya'er's kindness and understanding, and even more despised the parents who abandoned Ya'er.

"Girl, your father sold you out cruelly, why are you still thinking about them?"

When Ya'er heard this, tears fell down, "Brother Yan, Daddy didn't intend to sell Ya'er. My mother is sick in bed and needs money for medical treatment. My brother needs to be taken care of by Daddy when he is young. Our family It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full meal. I eat chaff and grass roots dug from the ground every day. My mother and younger brother couldn’t bear it, so my father decided to sell Ya’er in desperation. It’s all because she’s useless. Can't be of much help."

Ying Qinyue suddenly felt her nose sour, and she didn't have the urge to cry for a long time.Although she was bullied since she was a child and her parents ignored her, her family was rich enough to keep her from being poor.Every time I see newspapers reporting on the situation in the disaster area, I can’t be there personally, and I can’t understand the difficulties of the poor at all. Such things as eating chaff and grass roots were only a thing before liberation.

At this time, Ya'er's sensibility and experience moved her to feel compassion. She was not really indifferent, but her childhood circumstances made her alienated from the crowd, closed her heart's emotions, and rejected others.

"Then girl, eat your fill soon. Brother Yan will take you to see your mother after dinner. My brother knows some medical skills, so maybe he can help your mother." Ying Qinyue looked at the well-behaved and sensible girl lovingly. .

"Brother Yan, you are such a good person. Ya'er wants to follow brother and serve you for the rest of his life." Ya'er raised her childish face with a determined look in her eyes.

Ying Qinyue smiled wryly in her heart, she didn't even know where she should go, how to take her with her.When the marriage with Qi Muchen is resolved, then come find Ya'er by yourself.
