Chapter 377: See the commotion

daring to stop for a moment. As she ran, the cold wind whipped across her face, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She gripped the reins in one hand and pressed against her abdomen with the other,...Just as the woman had said, the interior of Chun City was indeed a thriving sight. Shops and street vendors along the streets seemed to be doing brisk business. The passersby were also in a hurry, each seemingly busy with their own affairs.

Qin Luoyan first found an inn to settle down, the shopkeepers seemed to have seen many people from other countries like her, so they didn't show any surprise, their faces full of enthusiasm, without any discrimination or exclusion 。 The boy led Qin Luoyan to a room on the second floor. Qin Luoyan casually took out a few copper coins and gave them to the boy who had led the way. The boy repeatedly thanked her, his attitude becoming more courteous. 。"By the way, little second brother, is there a street in this city that specializes in selling medicine" Qin Luoyan called out to the shop boy who was about to leave. 。The shopkeeper, having received his silver reward, became much more enthusiastic in answering. "Oh yes, there are plenty! Of all the cities around here, Spring City's Herb Street is the most famous. In the land of Barbarians, you can find any renowned medicine on that street." 。"Oh" Qin Luo's eyes lit up instantly. If that was the case, the chance of Yisheng and them coming here would be much greater, "Which direction do I go to get to the herb street I want to take a look." 。"Not far, not far, you walked out of the inn to the right, when you see a gate archway turn into it and you'll arrive. " 。The shopkeeper quickly replied. 。Qin Luoyan said her thanks, and then the young waiter left. 。Days of travel had left her physically and mentally exhausted, but thinking about Yixing's current predicament, she didn't want to waste any time. So after a quick wash, she left the inn. 。She walked along the long street. After a while, she heard the noise of people ahead. She was anxious and didn't like to watch the excitement. She was just about to detour around the crowd, but as soon as she moved her feet, she was pushed forward by someone behind her. 。No matter in ancient times or modern times, one cannot underestimate the power of the onlookers. Qin Luoyan's small frame was easily pushed forward and she fell. 。With so many people around, if she fell, a stampede would be very likely to happen. So instinctively, she cried out in alarm. 。She thought danger was inevitable, but then a large hand came out of nowhere and pulled her under. With one push, she was brought forward slightly, and she managed to regain her footing. 。She wondered, looking around at the people, but they all looked away, not reacting as if to save her. 。She couldn't find the person who had saved her before, and she didn't think much of it, after all, some people do good deeds without wanting everyone to know. 。When she came to her senses, she realized she had been pushed to the busiest center of the crowd. A space three meters long and wide had formed around her, where a woman over sixty years old was pulling a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl before a carriage. 。

The old woman cried and said: "Lord Mayor, please accept Phoenix. My grandson's life-saving money was given by you. We have nothing left, only these few daughters. Phoenix is the most beautiful among them. We can only use her to repay Lord Mayor's kindness." 。Qin Luoyan didn't expect that people would be watching such a lively scene. After hearing what the old woman said, she felt some indignation in her heart. The old woman's actions made her very disapproving. Even if the city lord had helped her family, she couldn't completely disregard her granddaughter's happiness and treat her own grandchild like a gift to be given away. 。The City Lord said that he didn't expect you to repay him in any way, besides, the City Lord's house isn't short of beautiful women. You should just take this child back home. 。A young boy in his twenties was sitting in front of the carriage, urging the horses on. Ten or so strong guards stood beside the carriage, constantly watching the crowd with alertness. 。But the old woman didn't even get up. She just shook her head a few times and hit the ground again, continuing, “The old woman knows that the city lord has many beautiful wives at home, but this old woman is definitely not someone who doesn't repay favors. If this girl isn't fortunate enough to be favored by the city lord, then let her become a maid, it's better than nothing!” 。"You old woman, why just won't you listen! I've told you, the Lord of our city doesn't want your granddaughter!" The young servant was headstrong and had little patience. Seeing that the old woman wouldn't listen to his advice, he too grew angry. 。"If the Lord Mayor doesn't want her, that child is just wasting our family's food. It would be better if she just knelt here and died." 。Our family is so poor we can barely afford to eat. Even our grandson isn't getting enough to eat, where on earth would there be food for this girl 。"When the old woman spoke, she slapped the girl's head with another hand and snarled: “You little wretch, if you want to blame anyone, blame your bad luck!” 。Everyone says that as people get older, they act more like children. They say the older you get, the more childish you become. 。Although the old woman's actions and tone were like a child's, the words she spoke only made Qin Luoyan feel more ashamed. 。Judging by what this wife said, she clearly thinks her granddaughter's life is less valuable than her grandson's, so the grandson gets to eat first before the girl even gets a bite. This deeply ingrained patriarchal mindset is evident in her words and actions. 。"Oh, this old woman couldn't raise her granddaughter herself, so she wants to give her to the Lord Mayor, huh" 。"See, her true colors are showing now. She said it was for repaying kindness, but this person..." "Lord Mayor helped her family so generously, and she took advantage of him. Shameless..." 。In the crowd, a heated discussion immediately broke out. 。The voices of dissent made the old woman's face flush, but she didn't give up. Instead, she broke the pot and smashed it, bumping her head again, "Lord Mayor, although this old woman is a rough person, she also knows etiquette and shame. If it wasn't for our family being so desperate, who would be willing to send out their own granddaughter" 。Lord Mayor, take a look at this girl. Look at her! If you fancy her, take her in as a bed warmer. If not, make her a fire-starter. As long as she has food to eat, you've done a great deed, an immeasurable good! 。The girl kept her head down the whole time, never saying a word. Even when the old woman was crying, she seemed oblivious, just kneeling there so quietly that no one could make out what she looked like. 。After the old woman finished her sob story, she grabbed the girl's chin and lifted her face up towards the carriage, as if she wanted the people inside the carriage to see the girl clearly. 。When the girl's face lifted up, a gasp rippled through the crowd. Perhaps no one had expected that a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl could be so strikingly beautiful. 。If you like "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan", please copy the following link and share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!(link: b/23/23838/)ught with desire.
