Song Ming was lying on the stretcher pretending to be unconscious, when he heard Gu Yi’s words, he almost couldn’t resist opening his eyes and “waking up”.
Two of the gambling house’s thugs saw that Gu Yi was well dressed and Xiao Si was calling him Young Master, so they knew that he was from a good family and came forward, “Who are you to this little girl?”
Gu Yi’s small chest puffed out, “She’ll be betrothed to me in three months.”
“In that case, her family owes us fifty taels of silver from the gambling house, so you pay it back for her.”
“Xiao Si ……”
Xiao Si was about to untie the purse on his waist.
“Slow down!”
Song Wangyue spoke up and looked at the two men, “You said my family owes the gambling house silver, which family?”
“Song San Xiao.”
“Is there an IOU?”
“IOUs no, but ……”, one of the beaters pointed to Song Ming lying on a stretcher, “they both went together, after owing the silver Song San Xiao ran away, he tried to run too, he was chased by us and he fell in the latrine. ”
No wonder it stinks so badly? The crowd of onlookers covered their noses.
It was true that Song Ming’s body had a foul stench, but people were far away and could not smell it at all, but their hearts made them feel that he stank.
Song Wan Yue nodded, “Then how do you know about our family?”
“Of course ……”
Only when the words left his mouth did the beater remember that Song Ming was pretending to be faint and immediately stopped talking.
“What is it?”
The thug was used to being arrogant in his daily life, where had he ever been pressed like this, let alone a little girl.
“How dare you!”
Gu Yi again blocked Song Wan Yue behind him and looked at the two men angrily without fear, “If you dare to touch her, I will have my father find someone to beat you to death.”
Song Wan Yue patted him on the shoulder, Gu Yi turned around and showed her a big smile, “Don’t be afraid little girl, with me here, no one will dare to touch you.”
“No one dares to touch me, you get out of the way first.”
“No, they’re tall and big, what if they really strike at you? I have to protect you!”
“I have something to say to them.”
Gu Yi moved his body slightly out of the way, “Go ahead.”
Song Wangyue, ……
Resisting the urge to push him away, she looked towards the beater and lifted her chin in Song Ming’s direction, “Words have no basis, I have to hear what he has to say?”
“The man is still unconscious, how can he say that?”
“I can save people from dying, just fainting, it’s a small matter. Little Four, come in and help with the stuff.”
“I’ll do it!”
Gu Yi volunteered, turning around while giving Xiao Si two fierce glares.
Xiao Si was puzzled by the glare, but he knew that Young Master was not happy, so he stood still and did not dare to move.
Song Wan Yue turned around and went back into the courtyard, took a bucket and scooped half a bucket of water from the tank.
Gu Yi’s eyes were crystal clear and he looked at her with excitement, “Little girl, are we going to give him a ‘bath’?”
“Yes, you carry more and give him a good bath.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
Gu Yi took the ladle of water, scooped the bucket in front of him full, carried it easily out the door and without saying a word, splashed it all over Song Ming’s face at once.
Song Ming sat up with a start, the dried sh*t and piss on his body melting away again and running down his clothes.
Gu Yi covered his nose and took several steps back, “It stinks!”
The people around him also backed away.
“Ming’er!”
Song Gua wanted to pounce on her, but it was too dirty and smelly for her to take a step forward.
Song Ming had washed her face after being fished out of the pit, but her hair had not been washed, and now when it was washed by the water, the foreign matter on her head flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, and Song Ming was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit out all her internal organs.
When he had finished, his whole body felt as if he had lost his strength.
Song Wangyue watched in good spirits, seeing that his face was white from vomiting and he had lost his strength, before she spoke, “They came to the door to collect the debt, saying that you and my third uncle owed the gambling house silver, but is it true?”
Song Ming felt that when he opened his mouth, something would flow in, so he was too scared to open his mouth and nodded his head.
“How much is owed?”
Song Ming held out a finger.
“A hundred taels?”
Song Ming nodded weakly again.
“The people in this gambling house are really blind, just like you in your ragged clothes, they still dare to lend you a hundred taels?”
“Stinky girl, what are you talking about?”
Bang!
Gu Yi threw the bucket in his hand and looked angrily at the beater who had spoken, “Brat, who are you yelling at? She is also someone you can yell at!”
The batterer’s face turned blue, his hand hanging at his side clenched tightly, the veins on his hand bulging high.
When Song Ming saw that it was not good, he hurriedly rolled over and stood in front of him.
If Gu Yi was really beaten up, Master Gu would put the blame on him and he would not be able to escape.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, we still want the silver.”
We?
Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, “What do you mean by that?”
Song Ming’s heart thumped as he said the wrong thing, then he pulled his face down, “What do you mean? That wolf-hearted dog with a heart of gold, who borrowed the gambling house’s silver and lost it all, but ran away himself, let him out, I want to confront him!”
“I asked you, what did you mean by “We still need the silver”?”
Song Wangyue asked, word by word.
The onlookers also looked at him.
Song Ming’s heart was weak from the look, and after his eyes rolled around a few times, he made a wise move in a hurry, “I’m not afraid they’ll make a move on Young Master Gu, so I said that in a hurry, don’t be insensitive. Where is the third youngest? Let him come out and confront me, if I have one lie, I will let the heavens strike me.”
“Everyone in the village knows that my third uncle was kicked out of the house by my grandmother, and you would not know that? But you still brought people to the house to make trouble on purpose. Did you set up some kind of trap? You are furious that my uncle didn’t fall for it? ”
“Damn girl, what are you saying?”
Song Gua’s mother jumped up and down as if her tail had been stepped on, “You’re not that old, but why are you so vicious-minded, putting all sorts of sh*t on us?”
“The little girl is right, you have deliberately set up a trap.”
Gu Yi pointed at Song Ming, “That day we came to propose marriage, the little girl’s family did not agree, on the way back you stopped us, you said you had a way to make the little girl’s family agree to our marriage proposal, I promised to give you a hundred taels of silver as long as we were betrothed to the little girl, you must have had bad intentions and wanted to trap the little girl’s third uncle, the little girl’s family could not get the silver, so naturally they The little girl’s family can’t get the silver, so naturally she will agree to be betrothed to me.”
When Gu Yi said that day when he stopped the carriage, Song Ming knew in his heart that it was not good, but he did not dare to block Gu Yi’s mouth, when Gu Yi finished, Song Ming’s face went completely white, “I, I, I ……”
The crowd gathered around let out a buzzing chatter, knowing that Song Gua’s family was not a good person, but they did not expect that for the sake of silver, they would pit even their own family members.
“Nothing of the sort.”
After panting for a while, Song Ming denied it.
“Well then, I’ll have someone go find my third uncle now, and if he comes back with something different from what you said, I’ll have Young Master Gu send you to the county court!”
