Because there were too many people around Xinhu Lake, the carriage could not get in, so a few people got off and walked when they arrived nearby.

"You know what, I was worried at first that I would be cold without the cloak, but I didn't expect this clothes to be so warm." Ling Bingqing said.

"Yes, it's light and warm, Ayu, you're great." Liu Zhizhi praised Ye Ziyu.

"I plan to sell this dress in my brother's Caiyi Pavilion when the time comes." Ye Ziyu raised her eyebrows.

"Then you can make a lot of money. This will definitely be very popular!" Ling Bingqing said.

"Thanks for your good wishes. I'll treat you guys to a meal when I make a lot of money." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"It's a deal. I'm going to eat a lot then."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat as much as I can and turn you into a little fat pig." Ye Ziyu pinched Ling Bingqing's nose.

"Hey, why is it so noisy over there?" Liu Zhizhi asked. There was a group of people gathered in front near the Heart Lake.

"Let's go and take a look." Ling Bingqing suggested.

"Let's take a look. We have to pass through there to get to Xinhu Lake anyway." Ye Ziyu agreed.

"Let's go. Be careful. Aqing, hold Zhizhi close." Ye Qingyin reminded. Ye Qingyin is the oldest among the four, so naturally she has the mentality of an older sister and needs to take good care of her younger sisters. Ling Bingqing knows martial arts, so Ye Qingyin feels a little more at ease.

"Okay, Zhizhi, hold on to me." Ling Bingqing took Liu Zhizhi's hand and placed it on his arm.

A few people walked in, and when they approached the center of the circle, they could see a little girl in her early teens curled up on the ground, her body covered with wounds. Next to her stood a man with a whip in his hand. "I let you be lazy and eat cheating. I spent so much money to buy you, and you can't do anything. Bah, you made me do a losing business, I'm going to beat you to death." He said this while still whipping with the whip in his hand.

"This child is so pitiful. Look at the wound, it hurts just looking at it." People around were talking about it.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never be lazy again. Please stop hitting me." The little girl cried and begged for mercy.

"Poor thing", "Yeah, yeah"

Ye Ziyu looked at the scene in front of her, and listened to the people around her talking about how miserable the child was, but no one spoke up to help. She just wanted to sneer in her heart.

At the same time, Ling Bingqing felt his arm tighten, and looking at Liu Zhizhi, she saw a sad face with tears in her eyes.

The man wanted to hit her again, and was about to strike with the whip.

"Stop." Ye Ziyu said. If the whip continued, the child's body would definitely not be able to bear it.

Ye Qingyin and Ye Ziyu walked out, followed by Ling Bingqing and Liu Zhizhi. “Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s business?” the man said.

"You can't hit him anymore. The child might die if you hit him again." Liu Zhizhi said while choking with sobs.

"Hehe, I bought this person with my own money, so I can do whatever I want with him. What does it have to do with you?" The man sneered.

"How much?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"what?"

"Ask you how much you paid for it, and we'll buy it." Ye Qingyin said.

"I spent five taels of silver to buy her. Plus, she ate and drank my food during this period. If you want to buy her, you can pay ten taels."

"How much? Ten taels?" Ling Bingqing exclaimed.

"Ten taels, no bargaining. You can take this man away immediately if you pay me." The man had a provocative expression on his face.

"It's not worth it. Spending ten taels of silver on such a dying child will cost money to take the child back to save him. Not saving him will bring you bad luck. It's better not to buy it." Someone said nearby.

"Yes, yes, isn't this just spending money to bring bad luck? Little girls, I advise you not to spend your money in vain and waste it." Another person advised.

Liu Zhizhi saw that Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin were silent and wanted to say that she wanted to buy something. Ye Ziyu saw Liu Zhizhi's action and held her down.

"Seven taels, one price. You definitely didn't pay five taels for this child when you bought her. And doesn't this girl look like someone who took your five taels of silver?" Ye Ziyu said.

"Seven taels won't do. Since you guys want to save him, then ten taels is enough."

"Seven taels."

"Nine taels, it can't be any lower."

"Seven taels." Ye Ziyu looked indifferent.

"How can a half-grown girl like you bargain like that?"

"I feel sorry for her now, and it arouses my compassion. If you drag it on, once my compassion is gone, I will no longer want her." Ye Ziyu said.

"Eight taels, the lowest." The man made the number eight with his hand.

Ye Ziyu looked at him for two seconds, then turned around and prepared to take the others away.

"Okay, okay, seven taels is seven taels, give me the money and take it away." The man said impatiently.

Ye Ziyu nodded, Liqiu gave seven taels of silver to the man, and Liu Zhizhi ran to see the little girl, who had fainted.

"Let's send him to the clinic first." Ye Qingyin suggested.

"Yifeng, you carry it." Ye Ziyu called Yifeng.

After a while, several people arrived at the clinic.

"What a sin! How could this girl be injured so badly?" The doctor saw the girl who was brought in.

"Doctor, please take a look at her. Is there still hope?" Ye Ziyu noticed that the girl's breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

The doctor felt her pulse and examined the girl. "She can be saved, but she needs to stay in the clinic for a while and take medicine to nourish her body. She is too weak."

"Okay, then you treat him. Don't worry about the money. As long as you can save the child's life, that's enough." Ye Ziyu said.

After settling the little girl down, they left the clinic.

"Actually, Ayu, have you ever thought about where to go after you rescue the child?" Ling Bingqing asked.

"It's hard to say where to go. You can go to my house. I can still afford to raise a child of this age." Ye Ziyu replied.

"You can also come to my house. I've always wanted a younger sister. My mom and dad won't disagree." Liu Zhizhi also spoke.

"Let's wait until the little girl gets better, and then let her choose for herself." Ye Qingyin said.

"Miss, Miss, I got back what I had found out." Li Qiu ran to Ye Ziyu.

"How to say?"

"The girl's father is a gambler. His wife ran away when she saw that life was getting worse, leaving the child behind with her father. In addition to taking care of herself, the child also has to take care of her father. It's not that her father couldn't pay off his gambling debts, so he sold the child."

"Another gambler." Ling Bingqing clenched her fists. "This is his biological daughter. How...how could he do such a thing?"

"The world is full of wonders. I can only say that this child is unlucky to have met such a father." Ye Ziyu said.

"But this child will have a good life in the future, because she met a group of kind people like you who rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering." Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

"Well, I hope everything will be fine for her and she will grow up safely." Liu Zhizhi said.

"Okay, okay, now let's leave the rest of the things to the doctor. Let's go, we haven't started shopping yet." Ling Bingqing took their arm.
