That day, a group of people came to the brothel. A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed like a scholar, came to the brothel with four distinctive followers, tall, short, fat, and thin.
Including Zhang Qingqing, all the good-looking girls from eight or nine years old to eleven or twelve years old were brought out of the brothel.
The group of more than ten people boarded four carriages, traveled for two days, and boarded the ship.
There were already dozens of people on the ship. As for the exact number, Zhang Qingqing had no way of knowing because they were restrained in their rooms and were not allowed to move around.
She was also not allowed to ask. There were thugs patrolling the ship, and the girls' cries would be violently suppressed.
In another cabin, two little girls quarreled. These people did not ask for the reason and pressed the two girls into a bucket, lifted them up, pressed them down, lifted them up again …
No one else was allowed to watch, but the two girls' screams made everyone tremble in fear.
After that, a girl was placed in Zhang Qingqing's cabin.
The girl's hair was soaked, and she was wiping it with a handkerchief. Her eyes stared unkindly at the other girls who were carefully observing her.
She said coldly, "My name is Zhao Shengnan. I'm twelve years old this year. I was sold here by my uncle. Don't think that you can bully me just because I was bullied. I'm good at doing things and have plenty of strength. At worst, I'll fight again. Even if I'm pressed like this again, it'll be two people together. What's wrong with you? "
One of the girls said, "We're girls from Ruyi Courtyard. The day before yesterday, we were brought to the carriage, and today, we were brought here again. My name is Xiao Rou. "
"Hong Mei."
"Bi Yu."
"Qingqing."
.....
"Don't provoke me." After Zhao Shengnan finished speaking, she walked to the side of the door and sat down.
Zhang Qingqing felt that this little girl was very powerful. She was originally punished and placed in a completely unfamiliar place, but she immediately pointed out her age and ability. With a few words, no one dared to provoke her.
What if she was really twelve years old?
She could not remember, it was too long ago.
Will there be a day when I forget my original life?
The girls did not communicate much. First, they were afraid, and second, they were hungry.
In the carriage, he was given a steamed bun for every meal, twice a day. When they arrived at the ship, it was time for lunch. However, no one had come to deliver food yet. Perhaps it was because someone was causing trouble, they were only given a steamed bun at night.
Every day after that, she would have a bowl of porridge in the morning and a steamed bun in the evening. There were a few girls who vomited and had diarrhea due to seasickness, but only a doctor came and gave them some medicine. The food for the girls remained the same. It was still porridge and steamed buns like everyone else.
After traveling for five days on the waterway, they boarded the carriage again.
This time, there were more girls, but there were also more people escorting them. Fortunately, they were escorted by people from the escort agency. Zhang Qingqing could tell that these people's martial arts were much lower than the people on the ship, and they were not as fierce.
When they reached a spacious area, they started cooking. When Zhang Qingqing saw this, her face turned red. He walked to the side and whispered that he needed to relieve himself.
The maidservant, who usually gave the girls steamed buns and supervised them to prevent them from running away, glanced at Zhang Qingqing.
She was indeed someone who had not been there for a day. "Let's go."
Because the place was spacious and they walked further, they should not be able to see much. The maidservant said, "Here."
"But, but …"
"Here." The maidservant did not care whether these girls were shy or not. It was enough. Anyway, they were going to work in the brothel. What was there to be afraid of?
The people who worked for these people were not good people.
Zhang Qingqing walked to a small bush a little slowly. She pretended to untie her belt and secretly looked behind. The maidservant thought that Zhang Qingqing was preventing the group of men from looking at her. She chuckled.
"Auntie, you … can you turn around too?"
Because yesterday, Zhang Qingqing was also like this. He did not even let her, a girl, look at him when he was relieving himself. If she did not comply, he would awkwardly dawdle for a long time. They were cooking. If they did not hurry, those old guys would finish the meat.
"Okay, okay."
The maidservant turned around, but her ears were still listening to the sound.
Hearing the pitter-patter sound, the maidservant felt relieved.
When the sound stopped, the maidservant turned around. She wanted to scare Qingqing when she got up.
But when she turned around with a malicious face, she did not see Zhang Qingqing's figure.
"Come quickly, that little bitch ran away. Come quickly, that little bitch ran away …"
The maidservant was still shouting. Immediately, the fat one and the tall one of the four people, Tall, Short, Fat, and Thin, ran over.
The tall one saw that a small gourd on the bush was still dripping water. He slapped the maidservant to the ground and scolded angrily, "Idiot, who told you to be lazy?"
The fat one looked carefully at the traces on the ground and chased.
The fat one was a martial artist with more than 20 years of internal strength. Not long after he chased with his internal strength, he saw Zhang Qingqing's figure disappear into the forest.
The fat one was good at tracking. Seeing that the fat one had chased, the tall one did not follow.
He thought to himself, "This damn fat one moves quickly. That little girl who ran away looks good. The fat one can get some benefits." Even if he did not dare to touch her body, it would be good to touch her.
Thinking about that feeling, the tall one showed an obscene smile.
The fat one had the same thought as his brother. Although he did not see Zhang Qingqing's figure in the forest, he did not panic at all.
This little beauty wasn't a Jianghu veteran like him. There were clear traces of her running on the trees and bushes in the forest.
"Hehehehe, little beauty, if you come out and call me a good brother, I will not beat you. I will treat you well … If you don't come out, I will catch you myself."
The fat one kept talking dirty, but he slowly walked toward Zhang Qingqing's hiding place step by step.
The fat one was an experienced man. Why would he walk forward in a hurry? It was not good to be caught in the gutter.
"Seeing you …"
Before he could finish, a copper needle pierced deep into the fat one's left temple.
After the fat one fell to the ground, Zhang Qingqing immediately went forward and took out the copper needle. This was something that Zhang Qingqing deliberately took a copper hairpin to grind into a needle. It took a lot of effort. Then she took away the fat one's knife and the money on him.
After that, she headed east, careful not to leave any traces.
After walking for a day, she finished eating the two halves of the steamed bun that she hid in her chest. (Yes, she hid it in her chest. People would think that her breasts were just a little developed. In the summer, her clothes were thin and there was nowhere to hide them.)
After walking for another day and eating some fruits, she finally saw people on the evening of the third day.
Smelling the fragrance of cooking, Zhang Qingqing was almost drooling.
Zhang Qingqing did not dare to appear. She had never underestimated the tracking abilities of those who escorted her. She wanted to hide all traces of her whereabouts.
Zhang Qingqing found a tree and took a nap. When the moon was high in the sky, she sneaked into a farmer's house and took the salt and tinder, leaving behind some money. She then sneaked into another house and took the salt and tinder, leaving behind some money. After going into seven or eight houses, she used up all the salt she found on the fat one. Carrying the salt, Zhang Qingqing turned and headed north.
After traveling for more than half a month, she did not light a fire and even changed directions once.
Finally, Zhang Qingqing found a suitable place to live in seclusion deep in the mountains.
After finding a cave, Zhang Qingqing set up a trap near the cave to fend off wild beasts. She picked herbs and concocted some repellent against snakes and insects, marinated some meat …
After a few days of hard work and a few meals of delicious barbecued meat, Zhang Qingqing went into seclusion to practice martial arts.
Her life was in the hands of others, and those perverted eyes made her feel sad and disgusted.
Seven years later.
Zhang Qingqing had made some progress in the Nine Yang Divine Art. After all, it was her third time practicing it. She was much faster, and she was also very familiar with all kinds of movement and lightness skills.
When one's life was guaranteed, it was easy to earn money. The beast pelts she hunted for the past few years were Zhang Qingqing's first income. After that, she treated difficult and complicated diseases as she traveled. Rich families charged a high price to live up to the difficulty of treatment. Poor families wrote prescriptions and did not charge a single cent for the cheaper herbs.
However, it was rare for poor families to have serious illnesses. Most of them had minor illnesses that they could not bear to treat. In the small villages, Zhang Qingqing was mostly just a waste of time. It was not that effortless.
However, wherever Zhang Qingqing went, she could treat all the patients. Her reputation as a divine doctor still spread.
This time, she came to Luoyang because a rich family in the city was seriously ill. They had invited many doctors, but none of them could cure him. Hence, they specifically asked Zhang Qingqing to come over and treat him.
The consultation fee this time was very generous. Zhang Qingqing bought and bought all the way in Luoyang. She was very satisfied.
She carried bags of various sizes back to the inn. Just as she was about to enter the door, a little beggar came up to her to beg.
"Kind lady, give me something to eat."
However, Zhang Qingqing was a little excited. She had not bought anything in the past few months in the countryside. This time, she bought a lot of jewelry and was about to go back to her room to try it on. She left in a hurry.
The two of them bumped into each other, and the things fell to the ground. The little beggar nodded and bowed desperately. "Sorry, sorry …"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Looking at the little beggar's thin and weak appearance, Zhang Qingqing sympathized greatly. She called the innkeeper over and gave him a few steamed buns and a dime of silver.
After Zhang Qingqing left, the little beggar's expression of gratitude disappeared.
The little beggar walked into the restaurant opposite. Naturally, someone came forward to help him change.
Clothes make the man. After the little beggar changed his clothes, he became a noble Little Boy.
He waved his hand and called one of his subordinates over. He whispered some instructions.
In the evening, Zhang Qingqing went out for a walk to digest her food. Unexpectedly, she met a gambler who owed money to the casino. He ran away without a trace, but the casino wanted to capture his wife and daughter and sell them to the brothel to pay off his debt.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were crying and yelling, but no one reached out to help, Zhang Qingqing went forward to stop them.
"How much money do they owe?"
"A hundred taels."
Zhang Qingqing took out a hundred taels banknote and said, "I'll buy them."
Perhaps the people in the casino saw that Zhang Qingqing was dressed luxuriously, so they did not make things difficult and gave the IOU to Zhang Qingqing.
Zhang Qingqing kept the IOU in her arms and said to the two women, "Now you are my people. If your man comes back and wants to sell you, you can tell others that I, Zhang Qingqing, bought you and he has no right to sell you. I am now staying in Lotus Pond Village. If you need anything, you can go there to find me. "
