Chapter 46: The First Step to Save Your Life

Night eats away at the moonlight bit by bit.

Looking at the crescent moon that was gradually disappearing, Ah Ying felt very depressed.

Although her brother was safe for the time being, he was still in that place where his skin was being peeled off and his muscles were being tortured. The only thing she could do was to raise money as quickly as possible.

Sister Hua suggested that she could ask the prince about this proposal, and Ah Ying had considered it, but she couldn't take the risk. Her situation was still precarious, and if her brother came to the capital and was discovered by the Xie family, he would be dead or at least skinned.

She wouldn't resort to such a desperate measure unless it was absolutely necessary. Besides, she had to find a way to make a living for her brother and herself, and couldn't just keep getting by like this.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with making money, but the bottom line must be firmly maintained. Otherwise, if she makes a mistake, even if she survives this crisis, it will lay hidden dangers for the future, which is really not worth the loss.

After curling up by the window with her legs hugged for a whole night, Aying still hadn't figured out how to raise the eight thousand taels.

She kept thinking about what would happen if she couldn't collect enough money. Even if she did, what if her brother couldn't be rescued?
Anyway, it’s a mess…

When Su Jian gently pushed open the door, she looked at Ah Ying who was sitting by the window in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Didn't the girl sleep last night?"

Ah Ying's eyes were slightly red. When she saw Su Jian, she couldn't even force a weak smile, "I'm fine..."

Su Jian was filled with worry and asked, "Should I go get a doctor?"

Ah Ying shook her head, feeling a surge of pain in her heart, "No need, just go make some soup to replenish your blood."

Su Jian could only reply: "Yes."

Looking at the rising sun, Ah Ying couldn't help but close her eyes, clasped her hands together and murmured, "Please bless my brother, and pray that we can be reunited after a long separation..."

After having breakfast, when I was about to go out, I saw Xie Chengyi who was also about to go out.

Ah Ying just glanced at him in surprise and didn't think much about it, "Prince."

Xie Chengyi noticed that Ah Ying looked haggard, so he whispered, "Want to go out?"

Ah Ying bowed slightly, "I have already told my aunt that I will go to Xiangshan Temple to burn incense and pray for my mother in the next two days."

The prince's eyes softened, "Let Zhan Li go with you, he can keep you safe."

Ah Ying smiled and shook her head. "No need. We eat and live in the temple and rarely go out. It's okay."

Su Jian also replied at the right time: "Don't worry, my lord, Su Jian will take good care of the girl."

Zhan Li led the carriage and said, "Sir, it's ready."

Xie Chengyi looked at Ah Ying, who was quiet and looked weak, and thought that she must be missing her family, so he told her, "If there is anything, let me know."

Ah Ying nodded, "Thank you, my Lord."

After Xie Chengyi drove away in the carriage, Ah Ying's eyes turned cold and said, "Let's go."

Xiangshan Temple.

Su Jian simply tidied up the room and said to A Ying, "Miss, it's done."

Ah Ying looked at Su Jian and said, "I will be in the temple worshipping Buddha these two days, you can stay outside."

"Miss, you didn't sleep well yesterday. Will you be unable to bear being in the Buddhist temple for two days in a row?" Su Jian said worriedly.

Ah Ying smiled and said, "When you pray for your loved ones, you should be sincere."

Su Jian agreed very much and said, "Then Su Jian will wait for you outside the Buddhist hall."

Aying smiled.

After finishing his lunch at noon, Aying went into the Buddhist hall.

Kneeling on the mat, Ah Ying clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and silently recited. Then, he slowly opened his eyes with a layer of frost in his eyes, and knelt down and kowtowed deeply.

After everything was done, Aying took off her brocade skirt and wore only a dark-colored maroon dress with a cuff. She tied her hair into a plain bun, walked lightly to the back door, lifted the curtain and left.

The back door of the dental clinic.

"Miss Wanwan." The servant who spoke nodded to Aying who was wearing a mask.

Ah Ying nodded slightly, and the servant led Ah Ying down two floors from a secret room.

Before I reached the place, I heard bursts of sobbing.

Ah Ying's heart couldn't help but tremble. Wasn't she like this in the past?

Until a burst of light came and the view became wider. The several rooms connected were all open, with signs hanging on the doors.

coolie.

Odd jobs.

top grade.

Some of the people inside had lost all hope in life, some were filled with fear, some looked at Aying, and very few spoke.

"Wanwan." Sister Hua was wearing black and blue clothes at this time, which made her look a bit cold.

Ah Ying then stepped forward, "Sister Hua."

"You can choose from these." Sister Hua usually comes here to select people to be employed, so she recommended Ah Ying to come here.

"Since Miss Wanwan was introduced by Sister Hua, we must treat her well. Just tell us what kind of person you need." A man with a face full of scars smiled.

"I only have one request, that you come here on your own initiative, not being forced." Aying said solemnly.

The man immediately asked, "Man or woman?"

Ah Ying replied: "Both are acceptable."

The man then made a gesture of invitation, "Come this way."

As they walked, the man said, "Look here, these are people who are selling themselves to bury their parents or who are trying to escape from their families."

Ah Ying looked over and saw that the eyes of the people here were filled with endless gloom and coldness. The ground was covered with blood, which showed that the people here were the clear representatives of the law of the jungle.

"Girl, choose me! I can do anything!" Suddenly, a disheveled man stared and grabbed the railing and shouted fanatically.

"Be quiet! You will be in trouble for disturbing the master's selection!" The man held an iron rod in his hand and knocked on the railing from time to time. Only then did he gradually calm down from the chaos just now.

Ah Ying was startled. After calming herself down, she gradually glanced at the other people.

The others looked at Aying with scorching eyes, except the person in the corner, who was staring at the corner indifferently.

Ah Ying couldn't help but be touched, and stretched out his finger and said, "Him!"

The man looked in that direction, his face darkening slightly, "Girl, I think you'd better choose someone else. That boy has a very strong personality!"

After Ah Ying pondered for a few seconds, he said, "Maybe he has to endure hardships to learn martial arts?"

The man was puzzled and said, "He can endure hardships, and he is a good candidate for martial arts, but he refuses to be disciplined. He always looks angry when he sees anyone who comes. Besides, he can't talk, so what can we do with him?"

Ah Ying's heart moved, and she looked at the boy, "Would you like to follow me?"

The boy looked at the masked woman coldly and felt that the woman's eyes were both hot and cold, and there was a sense of déjà vu about her.

"You see, that's what I told you. If his sister hadn't been sold in as well, I wouldn't have wanted him if I bought him back together with him," the man said angrily.

Ah Ying became more and more interested in him, "What about his sister?"

The man's face was filled with regret. "He was sold to a jade merchant, and was tortured to death on the same day..."

The boy's eyes turned red almost instantly, and he was as furious as a lion. He grabbed the railing and glared at the man fiercely.

The man trembled all over and immediately hit him on the hand with an iron rod, "You are like this, and you still want to sell it for money? Who are you trying to scare to death?"

After a few "bangs" of sticks, the boy's fingers were instantly covered in blood, but the boy, whose face was shaking with pain, still looked at the man fiercely.

Ah Ying decided in an instant, "Stop fighting, I want this guy!"

The man was surprised.

The boy paused.

Ah Ying then looked at the boy and reached out to bandage him with a handkerchief. The man said worriedly, "Miss Wanwan, no!"

Ah Ying stared at the boy, put the handkerchief over his bleeding hand, and said firmly, "Are you willing to come with me?"

The boy looked down at the handkerchief, then looked up at Aying and nodded.
