708: C708 Selling the Body to Bury the Father

C708 Selling the Body to Bury the Father

Among the crowd, there was a little girl kneeling on the ground. She was young, about twelve or thirteen years old. At the moment, her eyes were red and swollen. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at the crowd.

It turned out that there was a corpse in front of her. The corpse was covered by a straw mat and exuded a very strong stench.

It was a cold winter and the temperature was very low. The corpse was still emitting a strong smell. It must have been dead for several days.

In front of the body was a yellowed strip of cloth. On the strip of cloth were written the words, "Selling to the dead father."

"This little girl is a real beauty. When she grows up, she'll definitely be a great beauty, just that the price is a little high. Two hundred taels of silver is something I'll never be able to earn in my entire life." Someone exclaimed.

"Two hundred taels of silver is indeed a bit expensive, but they are only worth this price. You can only blame yourself for not giving them a good birth." Someone said, "If you have a good father, do you still worry about not being able to bring a beauty home?"

"… …"

The surrounding people looked at the little girl and discussed animatedly.

"Get out of the way!" Shangguan Yujie quickly walked into the crowd and released the pressure of her Martial Monarch Stage, scaring the surrounding people away subconsciously.

Shangguan Yujie looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground and felt sorry for her. She turned around and said to Gao Feng, "Brother-in-law, come over quickly. This little girl is so pitiful. Can we help her?"

She wiped away the tears on her face and ran over to kneel in front of Gao Feng as she pleaded, "Big brother, I see that you are the son of a rich family. I beg you, can you buy me? "I am very capable, and my requirements are not high. Just give me two hundred silver coins and bury my father …"

The little girl's tears fell like rain after she finished speaking.

Gao Feng looked at the girl beside him with a troubled expression. Shangguan Bingqing and the others' hearts were moved. After all, this little girl was too pitiful. It was just that the price was a little too high. Ordinary families wouldn't be able to earn two hundred silver taels in a few years. It was no wonder that the onlookers were so adamant about it. If he couldn't even eat, who would help others?

The smell of the corpse was too smelly. Gao Feng couldn't stand it even after staying for a while, so he asked Shangguan Yujie: "Do we still have any silver?"

"Yes, there are. There are still several hundred million." Shangguan Yujie said.

Gao Feng said, "Two hundred taels is just a drop in the bucket. Let's help her then."

"Little sister, quickly get up. My brother-in-law is a great person. He has decided to help you."

Shangguan Yujie took out a two hundred silver note and passed it to the little girl.

The little girl took the banknotes and got up from the ground. Wiping away her tears, she kept bowing and thanking. "Thank you big brother, big sister, thank you big sisters."

The little girl's mouth was sweet, causing Shangguan Yujie's heart to burst with joy. She said, "Little sister, no need to thank me. Supporting the weak is what we should do." "Alright, little sister, hurry up and go to the city and buy a coffin for your father to be buried."

"Yes, yes, yes." She looked at the banknotes in her hands and said with a troubled expression, "Big sister, I'm holding the banknotes by myself. I'm afraid that someone might steal them, but can you come with me?"

"This …" Shangguan Yujie looked at Gao Feng with a troubled expression.

Then he might as well finish the job. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry. Gao Feng agreed, but was afraid of any accidents and arranged for Murong Xue to go with him.

There was no longer any excitement as the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Gao Feng and the others.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Although it was winter, the temperature was rather high and the stench of corpses was very strong. Gao Feng had to stay far away from them.

About an hour later, a carriage with a coffin drove out of the city. In front was the little girl, Shangguan Yujie, and Murong Xue, followed by several farmers with shovels.

The farmer put the body back in the coffin. Gao Feng saw that he had done enough, so he called Shangguan Yujie to leave.

Shangguan Yujie looked at the little girl with a pained expression. "Brother-in-law, Xin no longer has relatives. I'm a bit worried. We can leave after she buries her father and sends her home."

Gao Feng looked at the sky and also agreed. It wasn't easy for a girl to be out, but if she were to meet an evil person, then it would be a disaster.

The little girl cried all the way until she buried the coffin. After the farmer buried the coffin, he accepted the reward and left. In the end, only Jing and Gao Feng were left.

"Xin, don't cry anymore. I'll send you home." Shangguan Yujie said.2

The little girl burned a handful of paper money and wiped away her tears. She got up from the ground and said, "Big sister, I don't have a home anymore. Before my father was sick, we had a house, but in order to treat my father's illness, I sold the house. Now, I am homeless. "

What should he do? This little girl didn't have any cultivation, so she was obviously just a normal person. If they wanted to take revenge, it was impossible for them to bring her with them, right? Shangguan Yujie looked at Gao Feng with a troubled expression again.

If he had known earlier that this was a piece of cow skin candy, he wouldn't have let Shangguan Yujie meddle in this matter. At this point, Gao Feng didn't know what to do.

Xiao Feier said: "Little sister, we are people in the Jianghu. We have no fixed living quarters, we will also encounter the pursuit of our enemies …"

I'm not afraid of death, and my father said while I was alive that I had a great talent in martial cultivation. It's because my family did not have any silver, that's why those sects did not want to take me in. I see that you are all experts. The little girl said in a sharp tone.

"Little girl, it's not that we don't want to take you in, it's that the enemies we face are extremely powerful. Right now, you don't have any cultivation, so it's very easy for you to be killed by them." Gao Feng thought for a while and said, "Little sister, how about this? I will give you some silver coins. You go to some nearby sects and train your cultivation?"

Without waiting for the little girl's reply, Gao Feng got Shangguan Yujie to take out a one thousand silver note and put it in the little girl's hand. Then, he said to the girl beside him, "It's getting late, let's go."

As they left, Shangguan Yujie asked, "Brother-in-law, aren't we being too cruel?"

"Yujie, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Gao Feng complained, but taking into account that his tone was a bit heavy, he was afraid that she would go against him, so he quickly explained further, "Yujie, I think we have done well enough. With so many people here, it's just watching the show, and we not only paid to bury her father, but also gave her a lot of tuition fees. We have never met each other before, and to be able to do this, you say that we are cruel, but don't tell me that your brain is filled with water? "

"But she is a girl after all. I'm afraid that someone will bully her." Shangguan Yujie smiled embarrassedly. After all, Gao Feng's words were clear and logical, so she was too embarrassed to quarrel with him.

Gao Feng said, "In broad daylight, who would dare to bully... "She …"

"Big brother, big sister, save me …"

Before Gao Feng could finish his words, a cry for help came from behind him.
