Avalanche-[Yuan]

Yu, isn't it good? "

Jingui pondered for a while: "Madam, she is the wife of an official."

"Isn't it! You said you want to buy Little Red Girl, what do you do when you buy it back? Is there a man of the right age in your family? Oh, I know that your father died ten years ago. Didn't you hear that the body was not found and there was no monument to bury it? There are no tombs. Could it be that you bought the little red girl back to be buried with your father, but the age is wrong. When your father died that year, he was less than 30 years old. The little red girl is almost 40 years old. .”

Jingui thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, actually, being an official's wife is better for her."

"There are other girls, you go and choose carefully, tell me whoever you like, I will give you a discounted price, they are all regular customers, and I won't cheat you. Come, come, I will take you in."

In order to close the deal, Daniel led the way for them and let them squeeze to the front row.

Seats are also very particular, good front seats cost money, only high-quality customers are eligible to stand in the front row, and Daniel is absolutely qualified to arrange someone to stand in front.

Jingui said again: "I have a carriage coming later, and there are my family members in the carriage, please bring them in front of the station as well."

Daniel asked how many people were there. He heard that there were one man and three women, and his eyebrows frowned again. With so many people, the seat in the front row was very sought-after, but when he saw Gao Chi standing behind, he only needed a look. Right away, I agreed immediately.

Before, I could only see crowds of people outside, not to mention the exaggeration of the empty alley, at least thousands of people gathered around to watch the excitement. Now the time has not yet come, and there are still people rushing here from all directions.

The hawkers wandered around, "boiled eggs with melon seeds, peanuts—" "cooking cakes, sticks and dried sweet potatoes—" "Take your legs and feet away—" More people are good for business.

Every execution in Chaishikou is very lively, just like Chinese New Year.

It was only when we squeezed to the front that we could see that there were already more than a dozen women wearing prison clothes and heavy wooden shackles, queuing up to die.

The prison vans of the government are still being escorted back and forth, and batches of prisoners are loaded into the trucks and transported to the scene. If they are to be transported to the scene within the execution time, they will be executed in batches.

There are many men in the front row seat, old and young, all of them are in a state of madness and stupidity.

Someone cried: "Miss Xiaocui, you are my man in life, and my ghost in death."

There are those who beat their chests and feet: "I can't live without you—I can't lose you—Miss Xiaocui—Wow——"

There were also people kneeling on the ground, looking like their parents were dead, beating their own heads incessantly, crying with tears and snot running down their noses...

It was the first time Gao Chi saw this kind of market phenomenon, and he was taken aback.

The big cow next to him seemed to know that he had never seen it before, so he said: "Don't be afraid, they will not hurt others, they are all filial sons and grandsons of Yichunyuan, come to cry and bid for the price, the oiran is the most sought-after, and everyone wants to buy it Go back and bury it, and be buried with him after death. The competition is still very fierce."

Jingui found a suitable place, turned around and said to Gao Chi: "I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Can you go outside and wait for Qijin first, and when they arrive, you can bring them here. I'm worried that he won't be able to find me."

Gao Chi nodded, squeezed inside, he felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly, and the people around him were all lunatics...

Daniu always picks up high-quality customers in person. He half-bends and stretches out his arm. Gao Chi naturally rests on Daniel's arm, and the two walk out of the crowd.

Jingui's eyes kept searching the group of female prisoners, trying to find that familiar person.

Because Xiaohong was the main criminal, she was escorted to the execution ground among the first batch. She was standing in the crowd with her head bowed in obscurity, but at this moment, she seemed to feel something.

She raised her head, saw Jingui with just one glance, and immediately became a little excited.

Jingui saw her, and then he knelt down on his knees.

Xiaohong shed tears, but she was tied up and couldn't wipe her tears. She nodded slightly to Jingui, it was good to see the upper side before the execution.

……

Gao Chi stood outside the crowd and waited for a long time. There were more prisoners escorted by the government, and the hour was approaching.

Finally, the carriage arrived.

Qijin jumped down and turned around to help the three little girls.

The three little girls were dressed in regular clothes. They obviously got the news that they were going out in a hurry. They didn't have time to change their clothes. They were all very excited when they heard that the elder brother called them. .

They were worried about their eldest brother, so they hurried into the car, but they paid great attention to their manners, all wrapped their faces in tulle, and wore veiled bamboo hats on their heads.

The second sister jumped out of the car and asked, "Where's my brother?"

Gao Chi smiled: "Your brother asked me to wait here, and I will take you in."

He also called a big bull to lead the way, otherwise they would not be able to squeeze in at all.

Daniu walked in front, Gao Chi and Qijin were guards on the left and right respectively, and only then did the three little girls be brought to the front row, and the number of spectators doubled.

Gao Chi saw that Jingui was kneeling on the ground, and hurried to help him: "Why are you kneeling, it's cold on the ground, pay attention to your body."

Jingui turned his head, saw his sister arrived, stood up, pulled her over and stood up.

The three little girls were very happy when they saw him, and they chirped, "I heard that elder brother is sick, what is it? I haven't been home for so long, is my health better?"

Jingui replied briefly, saying that I am fine, and then he said, "Take off your bamboo hats and veils."

The little girls were taken aback, but the second sister immediately said, "No."

Jin Gui: "..."

"There are so many people here, how can we take them down?" The second younger sister is the oldest and the most sensible, and the two younger sisters usually listen to her words: "We are all girls from a good family, how can a girl who has not left the court show her face in public? ?”

The second sister said so, and the third and fourth sisters also said the same.

With a sullen face, Jingui said, "I'm not in the mood to coax you now, take off the bamboo hat, and take off the veil."

The second younger sister seldom talks back to her elder brother, but this time is different. In her opinion, this behavior violates the teachings in "Rules for Women" and "Commandments for Women", so she has every reason not to listen.

"No, there are men around here. We are the family of a daughter who has not left the cabinet, so we cannot show our faces in public."

Jingui was impatient at all, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to hit her: "Take it off if you tell me."

The second sister whimpered and cried, "Brother Qijin." She asked Qijin for help. Qijin was her sister-in-law's brother, and besides her elder brother, she was the closest relative here.

Qijin was really afraid that Jingui would hit someone, so he stood in front of him like a hen.

"Brother Jingui, don't be so fierce! My sisters heard that you were sick, and prayed to God and Buddha at home every day, just to pray for your safety. They are very sensible. If you have anything to do, just talk about it."

Jin Gui took a deep breath: "Now, immediately, immediately, take off the bamboo hat and the veil."

The second sister still refused, and the third and fourth sisters followed suit and shook their heads in disagreement.

Jingui raised his arms again, as if to hit them.

Gao Chi also persuaded: "In this way, brother Jingui will stand on your left, brother Qijin will stand on your right, and I will stand behind you. We three big men can always protect you three weak girls, and we promise not to let you Others can see you, let alone touch you, okay?"

This plan is good.

The second sister was relieved, she raised her hand to lift up the veil and put it on the bamboo hat, revealing bright big eyes, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, it's so strange, what do you want us to do here? What's so interesting about beheading? "

While talking, he looked at the stage: "Ah, there are so many female prisoners, what crimes did they commit?"

Qijin explained from the side: "They are official prostitutes of Yichunyuan, and they committed a capital crime."

The second sister's eyes suddenly froze, because she saw a face that seemed a little familiar.

"That." The second sister pointed: "Brother, who do you think that person is, who is she?"

The third and fourth younger sisters also followed their elder sister's example, lifting up the veil and putting it on the bamboo hat. They followed her elder sister's fingers and looked at the man as well.

Jin Gui was silent: "Kneel down."

He led the second sister, the second sister led the third sister, the third sister led the fourth sister, and all four brothers and sisters knelt down.

The second sister took a closer look, and suddenly tore off the veil, grabbed the bamboo hat, and yelled at the woman in the prison uniform: "Mother——"

With this cry, Gao Chi, who was standing behind him and had been watching the show, trembled...

The second younger sister shouted excitedly: "Mother, mother—"

The third and fourth sisters were also taken aback. They quickly took off their veils and bamboo hats: "Where is it? Sister, where is mother?"

The second younger sister pointed at Xiaohong, and said excitedly: "There, there, isn't mother dead? After father died, mother was so sad that she threw herself into the river. Why are you here? Ah—why is mother here— —”

No one could answer her.

The third sister rubbed her eyes. When her mother left, she was only four years old. Her mother's appearance was already blurred deep in her memory, but at this moment, it seemed that the vague memory became clear. She remembered that this was her mother. Dear, the person in memory.

"I remembered, it's mother, she is mother."

The fourth younger sister was still a baby back then, so she didn't remember her mother's appearance at all, but she knew that there was nothing wrong with it, the person wearing a prison uniform with disheveled hair, tied up in a bunch of flowers, and wearing a crime card was her mother.

The three sisters cried and lay on the ground, screaming and yelling, the sound pierced the eardrums.

Jingui didn't cry, he really couldn't cry, he told her with his eyes: We're all here, let's see you off together.

Xiaohong cried several times and bowed her head, but she was reluctant to bow her head, because all her children were present, and she wanted to take another look.

Standing behind the three sisters, Gao Chi felt
