C6 North-south Differences

Muzhao could not bear to see Soongyanqing's disappointed look, so she comforted him. Although she was not interested in embroidery at all, in order not to waste the fabric that he kindly bought, she chose to learn it.

"Yes!"

Maybe he felt that he had done something bad out of the kindness of his heart. Muzhao patted his shoulder, pointed at the big aunt who was selling the cookie not far away, and said: "Soongyanqing, do you still have any copper coins? Give me two. I want to eat that one. "

Before he even finished speaking, he started drooling. The biggest reason why Muzhao stayed under the sun for so long was because of this cookie.

"Yes, there is."

Soongyanqing moved the cloth a little and took out a pouch from his pocket and placed it in Muzhao's hands.

"Too many."

Muzhao shook his head, not daring to take it, and pushed it back.

"Take it. I'm not free, you'll pay for it later."

When Soongyanqing finished, he strode towards the woman selling the cookie, and the Muzhao followed obediently with the money bag.

She thought that this Soongyanqing was really careless. What if she took the money and ran away on her own? When she thought again, with skills, even if she sneaked away, she could catch up.

"Auntie, help me get a few pancakes."

Because the Muzhao's history was not very good, she did not deliberately try to understand that the dynasty was in our country's time, or that it was in another world which was in parallel space-time.

Right now, the most important thing was to survive, and only then would she find a way to return home. Therefore, her current state of mind was still relatively calm, unlike the female protagonist in the movie who jumped around in anxiety after finding out that she had transmigrated.

While the Muzhao was thinking wild thoughts, the aunt had already helped her pack the cookie. When there was no reaction, she just waited there for a while.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was distracted."

Muzhao hurriedly took it and apologized to the aunt. She took out a cookie and sniffed it in front of her nose.

The Muzhao had eaten a similar dish before in the modern world, but the name was Wudalang's Soup Dumplings. Seeing the Soup Dumplings now, he felt that it was very familiar.

Perhaps the flour used was not as fine as it was in the modern world, so the texture of the cake was actually ordinary. However, the filling was very tasty due to the chili sauce and their secret sauce.

"Yes, this is yours."

Muzhao took two bites before she remembered Soongyanqing. She quickly handed the paper bag over to him, with her left hand holding the cookie and her right hand thinking to grab the cloth for him.

"No need, take your time and eat."

Soongyanqing dodged to the side and dodged to the side. Although there was no expression on his face, there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Ah, alright then."

Muzhao looked at the cookie and thought he was being polite, so he stopped talking.

As she walked, she observed the crowd, and an idea suddenly occurred to her. Didn't the Ming Dynasty send this chili pepper into China, and the extensive cultivation and use of it also happened during the Qianlong period? Furthermore, it was also first found in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, but after thinking about it for a while, she realized that this didn't mean anything.

Before, when Soongyanqing cooked, she did not add anything like chilli peppers. She had thought that it was because there was a lack of ingredients here, but after going to the county city today, she discovered that there were still a lot of ingredients.

"The cookie made by this restaurant is pretty good. The chili concoction is very delicious, do you really not need to taste it?"

Muzhao raised his head and looked at Soongyanqing as he moved the cookie in front of him.

"No need, my taste is light, so I'm not good at eating these."

He believed that this cookie was definitely as delicious as Muzhao had said, but because his mother was healthy, the taste of the cookie was always light.

This biscuit contained a lot of Jiaojiao s and unknown ingredients, causing him to smell rather bad. In order not to make a joke, it was better that he did not try it.

"Oh, okay, then I'll eat them all?"

Muzhao touched his nose and pinched the cookie. There were two left, the aunt was firm and the cookie was thick, after she finished eating, she would not need to eat at night.

Sighing, Muzhao who was about to finish her food heard the sounds of argument from ahead. She realised that the crowd was all looking in that direction, but no one was looking in that direction.

This situation was a bit strange. It was different from the scenes played in the TV series. He did not know what had happened earlier.

The Muzhao was curious, but in this unfamiliar environment, there were some timid things that he did not dare to join in on the fun. He just stood at the side of the street and listened to the gossips of the other people.

"Sigh, that girl is really pitiful."

"That's right, poor child, how did you meet such a father?"

"Yeah."

Her ears could just hear them, and since Soongyanqing had his own inner force, he could hear them clearly. Hearing them, the two people turned their gazes towards the clamor.

It was probably because there was a rogue in the town who would play with cats and dogs all day long, and even liked to gamble. Previously, he did not know where he had gotten a girl to be his wife, but that girl's state of mind wasn't too good either, he thought that she would walk away very soon, but soon, she helped the rogue to give birth to a child.

After having a child, the scoundrel had never been disciplined. With two sons in his possession, he spent his days drinking and had no money to steal. The child was still brought up together with the neighborhood residents. Now that the little girl had grown up, the rogue wanted to sell her to the ticker fence to exchange for money for a drink.

Although that rogue's wife was not in a good mental state before, after all these years, she still knew some things. Seeing that this person wanted to sell her daughter to that place, how could she be willing?

She promised that as long as she had money, she wouldn't sell her daughter. If her daughter went around borrowing money, other people wouldn't be willing to borrow money, so her father would inevitably sell her off.

Although it was a tragedy, the peddlers' words were light as a feather. As long as they didn't offend him, it was fine. It was like when that rogue's wife was beaten to death, no one would stop her.

Muzhao did not know if reporting this situation would work, so she turned her head to ask Soongyanqing for his opinion. If it was possible, she could help go over.

"I am willing to do what you do. Guanfu wouldn't care about this sort of thing."

Soongyanqing looked into the distance. He could hear that the girl was crying quietly and must be very scared to be treated like this by her own father.

"So it's like that."

Muzhao frowned and returned the cookie back into the paper bag. Although he knew that there were a few poor people in the past who would sell their wives and children as slaves, they were generally forced to do so in order to survive.

Someone like him who would do such a thing for his own benefit really deserved to be punished. Muzhao felt terrible inside, but he had no other choice, so he could only silently stand there.

"If you want to save that girl, it's not that you have no choice but to give up some money."

Hearing that there was a way to save the Muzhao, she immediately became excited and looked towards the Soongyanqing with her bright eyes, but after hearing this method, she was a little disappointed, she had also thought of this before, but this kind of people were usually extremely greedy and would definitely ask for help, adding that the Soongyanqing did not have too much money, it was still rather difficult to settle this matter.

"Mm, forget it. You don't have much money left, so don't you want to keep it?"

Muzhao sighed, this girl's life was miserable, if she was in the modern world, this kind of thing would not happen, but it was ancient times, even Guanfu would not easily manage it, she was a girl, being able to protect herself in this unfamiliar environment was enough.

"I still have a piece of jade to pawn."

Soongyanqing took out a jade pendant from his pocket. The jade was round and dark green, shiny and shiny. It looked full of spirit energy. Previously, when he went home to offer his blessings to his master, he gave him a piece of jade, but he accidentally lost it because he was afraid that his master would scold him and make another copy.

Muzhao looked at his piece of jade and did not say a word. She turned her head and secretly wondered if the jade looked really similar to the one that was on her body.

"Don't hesitate, the girl won't be able to hold on much longer."

Soongyanqing turned her body and placed the jade in his hand. The young lady had probably exhausted herself trying to resist, and was crying out for help was getting quieter and quieter. He reckoned that she would not be able to hold on much longer and would not be dragged away to the pigeonhole courtyard.

"Thank you."

These words were not only for the young lady, but also for herself, to thank the Soongyanqing for his generosity and bravery. There were very few people like him who had selflessly given their lives away, so the Muzhao felt very ashamed of himself.

"Stop thinking about it, hurry up and go."

Soongyanqing pulled her towards the clamor. Muzhao looked at him and suddenly felt that his back became imposing. Just like what he had seen before, his body glowed with light.

Some people are not even very strong themselves, but he is willing to use his small strength to help others care for others, such a person is really rare.

Perhaps it was because she had been in the hospital for a period of time, the Muzhao was not as reckless as before. She always put her safety first, she would never have the chance to live or die due to illness, and she would never have the chance to do anything. Even if she had the thought of helping others in her heart, it was built on her own safety.

Passing through the crowd, he could see the girl curled up, tightly hugging a pillar without letting go.

Behind her, her father was threatening her with a whip in his hand. The surrounding people were whispering to each other from afar. No one dared to stop them.

The girl had already been whipped several times. The whip was made of cowhide, and the flesh on her body was ripped apart in a single lash. This girl did not know how this scoundrel would do it, but when she thought back to how the two peddlers said that his wife was beaten half to death by the whip and was still lying on the bed, she felt that this scoundrel was even more despicable.
