Master is unreliable

Chu Lan followed the strong man to a beautifully decorated room, and heard the strong man say to Ding Sheng: "You wait here first, I will call Hua Niang."

Ding Sheng rubbed his hands, nodded and bowed with a smile: "I'm sorry for your inconvenience."

After the strong man left, Chu Lan asked, "Brother Ding, didn't you meet someone from Tianzhaomen? Who is the flower lady he was talking about?"

Ding Sheng: "Hua Niang is from Tianzhaomen. Hey, stop talking, just wait."

Chu Lan snorted, and saw Ding Sheng sit down on the chair by the table, and waved to him: "Stop standing, come and sit."

Chu Lan looked at the exquisite and gorgeous stool, and at the oil-stained clothes on her body, and did not dare to sit down.

Glancing at Ding Sheng who was fiddling with the water glasses on the table, he looked calm, as if he was familiar with this place.

Chu Lan said, "Brother Ding, do you come here often?"

Ding Sheng paused his hands and said with a dry smile, "Why, how is it possible, it's my first time here."

Chu Lan asked suspiciously: "Didn't the proprietress say that you have seen people from Tianzhaomen? Have you never been here?"

Ding Sheng's expression froze, "This, this..."

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open, and a charming-looking woman in purple walked in.The strong man followed behind her.

As soon as the woman in purple came in, Ding Sheng stood up, and Chu Lan knew that the woman was Hua Niang.

This is the Tianzhaomen people.

Chu Lan looked nervously at the woman in purple who entered the door, and saw the woman's gaze swept around the room before walking towards him.

Chu Lan subconsciously pinched the jade pendant hanging around her neck in her skirt, took a light breath and raised her head, just in time to meet the eyes of the woman in purple.

The gaze was cold, with a bit of scrutiny, not like looking at a person, but like looking at an object.

This feeling was inexplicable, but it still made Chu Lan feel uncomfortable. What she wanted to say was stuck in her throat and she didn't say it.

He was hesitant to open his mouth when he saw the woman in purple turn her head and said to Ding Sheng who was beside her, "Yes, the goods this time are better than the previous ones." Then he said to the strong man by the door: "Give him the money." .”

Chu Lan stood there with a dazed face, watching Ding Sheng take the purse happily, opened it, took a look, and then complained: "Didn't you say that the top-quality goods cost 100 taels? Why is it so little?"

The woman in purple looked sideways, and said coldly: "If you don't want it, just keep the money."

Ding Sheng shrank his neck and put the money bag into his arms, "No, I just said that casually, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Brother Ding, what do you mean?" Chu Lan opened her mouth, her voice was dry, with an imperceptible tremor.

He is not stupid, from the conversation between the woman in purple and Ding Sheng, he knew that Ding Sheng often came here, and he lied to him.

Combined with the way the woman looked at him just now, and the money she gave Ding Sheng, he knew that Ding Sheng had sold him out.

But why?

He had no grudges with Ding Sheng, and even helped him to do the work when he was lazy, so the boss lady didn't deduct his wages.

Why did Ding Sheng do this?

Ding Sheng didn't look into Chu Lan's eyes, but fixed his eyes on a certain point on the ground, and then he smiled nonchalantly: "There are so many reasons, I need money, and you just happen to be cheating."

Chu Lan's lips trembled and his face turned pale. He couldn't believe it was because of this reason.He took a deep breath and ran away, but just as he moved, the woman in purple grabbed his arm.

"Let me go!" Although Chu Lan didn't know what these people bought him for, how could he be a good person who could do things like human trafficking.

Chu Lan struggled violently, and saw the woman in purple clad five fingers, and a thin rope flew out from the woman's wrist to tie him up.

Looking at the cold expression on the woman's face, Chu Lan was horrified, she was not an ordinary person.But is she a member of the fairy sect or a demon?

Ding Sheng hadn't left yet, he looked at the side for a while, and said softly: "If you want to live comfortably, just be honest and obedient."

Chu Lan was struggling with the ropes on her body. After hearing Ding Sheng's words, she looked up coldly, then lowered her head and struggled again.

Ding Sheng's complexion was not very good. He stared at the top of Chu Lan's head for a while, and finally walked towards the door without saying anything.

Just at this time, a woman in pink hurried in, she whispered a few words in Hua Niang's ear, Chu Lan vaguely heard some.

The woman in pink said: "...It's about to start, and the goods are not enough."

Hua Niang glanced at Chu Lan and said, "It's all set."

The woman in pink said: "No, with this, there is still one short." She was a little anxious, "What should we do? If we can't do it well..." She didn't know what to think, her body trembled violently, and the blood on her face turned pale. faded.

The slender brows of the purple-clothed woman frowned, as if she was meditating. After a while, she turned her head and looked at Ding Sheng who stopped at the door.

Ding Sheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he still hadn't left.

The woman in purple looked at Ding Sheng, and suddenly laughed. She said, "If you add him, the goods will be complete, right?"

Ding Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he ran away, but was grabbed by the strong man at the door and pressed hard to the ground.

The woman in purple turned around and said: "Okay, the goods are all ready. Take them down to prepare, don't miss the hour."

"Yes." The woman in pink took the order and went.

**

Chu Lan was carried to a room on the first floor by the strong man. After entering, he found that the room was very large, almost several times the size of the room just now.

There were many children in the house, both boys and girls.They are not very old, the youngest looks no more than five or six years old, and the oldest is no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

Without exception, these children were all pale, with red and swollen eyes, obviously crying.

The children looked at the woman in pink and the strong man with expressions of horror on their faces. They were huddled together, trembling.

The strong man put Chu Lan on the ground and pulled Ding Sheng over.

Chu Lan noticed that several of those children showed resentment and anger on their faces after seeing Ding Sheng.

Reminiscent of what Ding Sheng said just now, he guessed that these people should have glanced at him, and they were tricked by Ding Sheng to sell them in Chunfenglou.

The woman in pink slowly glanced over the crowd and said, "Okay, since everyone is already here, let's start. Come."

As she finished speaking, more than a dozen attendants, male and female, came in from the door. They were neatly divided into two rows and stood behind the woman in pink, bowing their heads and waiting for orders.

The woman in pink said: "Take them down to wash up."

More than a dozen attendants bowed their heads in response, and then each of them led a child into the house.

It was only then that Chu Lan discovered that there were actually two hidden doors in this room leading to this room.

Several maids led the girl among the children into one room, while Chu Lan was led into another room with other boys.

After entering, I saw nine bathtubs neatly arranged together, and the air was filled with hot air.

The attendants made them undress and take a bath.

These children all came earlier than Chu Lan, and they may have suffered a lot. Although they were worried, they obediently took off their clothes.

Chu Lan stood still, and the attendant who was in charge of taking care of him stepped forward to help him. Chu Lan opened the man's hand like an electric shock, and said in a low voice, "Don't touch me!"

The room fell silent instantly, and the children's eyes fell on Chu Lan.

They looked different, some were scared, some were nervous, some were crying with red eyes, and some showed pity.

Chu Lan knew the consequences of resistance, but he had to resist.The jade pendant that Liu Xi left him must not be lost no matter what.

It doesn't matter whether he goes to Tianzhaomen or not now, the jade pendant is a relic of the master, he must keep it well.

Chu Lan clenched the jade pendant on his chest, gritted his teeth, turned and ran away.A pair of cold hands reached out from behind and hugged his waist.

Chu Lan was so excited that she turned her head and bit the man's arm fiercely.A leisurely and cold fragrance wafted into his nostrils without warning, Chu Lan froze, he raised his head, and saw the face of Liu Xi, which belonged to his master.

Master, no, the unknown person who occupied Master's body has been found.

Chu Lan's eyes widened in astonishment. Duan Li had already untied his clothes in twos and twos, then picked up his waist and put him into the bathtub.

After being exposed to hot water, Chu Lan finally came to his senses. He wanted to turn around, but was pinned down on the back of his head.A male voice sounded in his mind: "Don't look back, you will be found out."

This voice is different from Liu Xi's, low and charming, with a hint of a faint smile in his voice, it doesn't sound so serious, but it tickles people's hearts.

Chu Lan calmed down, he understood this person's concerns, there were so many people here, if he looked different, he would be noticed easily.

He sat stiffly in the bathtub, without saying a word, but a storm arose in his heart. How did this person find him?

Did he come to save him?Or are you annoyed that he ran away and wanted to teach him a lesson?

Chu Lan was in doubt, when he suddenly felt a basin of hot water poured down his head, and then a pair of cold hands wiped something on his hair and began to rub it.

This was really a kind of torture—the cold hands didn't know how to handle it, and it hurt his scalp so much.

Chu Lan was afraid of being exposed, so she didn't dare to say a word.The worries that were swirling in my heart were also thrown aside.

After finally washing her hair, before Chu Lan could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt something rubbing against her back heavily, and there was a burning pain behind her.

He dodged sideways, his feet slipped, and he fell into the water.

Duan Li was sneaking a glance at the person next to him from the corner of his eye, how to rub someone's back, and suddenly the person in the tub in front of him disappeared.

He was startled, and saw Chu Lan standing up from the tub, holding the edge of the tub with one hand, lowering his head and coughing violently.

Duan Li's eyes fell on Chu Lan's back, and he saw a shocking red mark on the child's white and thin back, which was exactly the one he rubbed just now.

Duan Li blinked, and belatedly realized that his strength seemed a little too strong.

**

After finally taking a bath, Chu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she climbed out of the tub.He quickly put on his new clothes, when Duan Li came over with a dry towel, as if he wanted to wipe his head.

Recalling the strength with which Duan Li was going to pull him bald just now, Chu Lan hurriedly took the cloth towel and started to wipe it off by herself.

After Chu Lan finished brushing her hair, she raised her eyes and saw Duan Li standing in front of her, her eyes sparkling, as if she was very happy.

Chu Lan's hands stopped, and Duan Li's voice sounded in her mind: "Disciple, this is the first time serving someone to take a bath as a teacher. How does it feel?"

Chu Lan: "..."

His feeling will never be forgotten.

After washing, those people took a black scarf and covered the children's eyes.Duan Li followed suit and took the black scarf in his hand.

Chu Lan raised her head, looked at the person in front of her silently, and saw him blinking at him, showing a smile, and then the black scarf covered him, covering his sight.

When Duan Li's cold fingers stroked Chu Lan's cheek, he trembled slightly.Then Duan Li's voice sounded in his mind.

Just like before, the man dragged his lazily tone, with a nonchalant smile in his tone, full of confidence: "Don't be afraid, as a teacher here, people can still hurt you."

Chu Lan pursed her lips and said nothing.

**

The eyes cannot see, and the hearing becomes extremely acute.

Chu Lan heard the sound of the door opening, and someone came in, and then a cold female voice sounded: "It's about to start, take them down."

Chu Lan recognized the voice, it was the purple-clothed woman he had just seen, that is, Hua Niang.

Chu Lan couldn't see what was going on in the room, but he felt a cold hand holding his hand and leading him forward.

Chu Lan didn't resist, he raised his foot and walked forward.He could vaguely hear the teeth chattering of the child in front of him because of extreme fear.

He didn't know what these children had been through before he came here, but he could imagine that it must not have been a good experience.

If not, how could this group of children be so tame and obedient.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt that the person who was leading him stopped. He subconsciously turned his head to Duan Li, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything because of the black scarf.

"Hua Niang, Hua Niang, please let me go." Suddenly, a trembling, crying voice sounded, and Chu Lan subconsciously pursed her lower lip. The owner of this voice was Ding Sheng.

He couldn't see Ding Sheng's expression, but he could feel his panic and despair from his voice.

Ding Sheng said with a trembling voice: "Please let me go, I still have important things to do, I can't...can't die. Huaniang, I...I can return all the money to you, you... ..."

Ding Sheng seemed to pounce on it, because Chu Lan heard the sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

"What do you mean you can't die?" Chu Lan heard Hua Niang say, "If you are favored by adults, you will have a lifetime of glory and wealth. Even I will kowtow to salute you when I see you in the future."

After finishing speaking, Hua Niang's voice became cold: "Pull him away."

Chu Lan didn't hear anyone talking, only heard footsteps, followed by Ding Sheng's hysterical scream: "Please, please, let me go—"

Hua Niang seemed a little impatient, "Hurry up and pull him away, be careful, don't get hurt."

However, Ding Sheng made a fuss so violently that he couldn't control it for a while. Chu Lan heard Hua Niang click his tongue, and then he didn't know what she did, and Ding Sheng's crying sound disappeared.

The room fell into a deathly silence, and Hua Niang said: "Okay, remember to wash his face and change his clothes later, let's go."

Only then did the crowd move forward again. Gradually, Chu Lan heard soft weeping that could not be suppressed. He frowned, and did not speak, but only clenched the cold hand that was holding him.
