Chapter 318 Strange Man

Aunt Xu said this and it was a good thing. Before Feng Huali could figure out the meaning of this, Aunt Xu had already left. After a while, a sloppy girl was pushed and dropped in.

The girl was dirty all over. She fell to the ground and showed scars all over her body. She coughed a few times, but then quickly got up. Feng Huali felt strange and planned to go forward to check. Feng Huali raised her hand to help her up, but she suddenly hugged her head and squatted down, panicking, saying, "Don't hit me, I didn't mean it..."

The girl looked very pitiful. She must have suffered all the abuse in this Zijin Tower. She was probably caught like herself. Feng Huali sighed, helped her up, and then put one hand on her trembling shoulders, and the other hand opened her head that blocked her face: "Don't worry, I won't hit you."

After seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Feng Huali was stunned: "Are you... Duo Yu'er?"

Duo Yu'er hadn't heard anyone call her like this for a long time. She raised her head in surprise and looked at the woman in front of her in a daze, but she didn't recall it for a long time. Seeing that she couldn't remember her, Feng Huali hurriedly said, "I fell into Fire City, and I was rescued by you. There was another man with me, do you remember?"

Duo Yuer pondered for a while before she remembered, but she still looked like she was not sad or happy. She said noddedly: "It's you, you have fallen to this point."

"I fell into this Fire City again, but was brought here by Aunt Xu here..." Feng Huali finished talking about her own experience, and then looked at Duo Yu'er with some distress. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old and was about to suffer this humiliation. Feng Huali asked tentatively, "How did you come here?"

A layer of mist suddenly appeared in Duo Yu'er's eyes. She spoke with a crying voice: "I want to go out to find my brother, but I never thought of meeting officers and soldiers on the edge of the Wanduo River. They knocked me out by the river, and then I was picked up by Aunt Xu..."

Aunt Xu originally wanted to keep her to pick up the customers, but when the doctor treated her, she found that there was a very long scar on her face. She had been covered by her head before and it didn't appear. Aunt Xu had already spent money and felt very angry. From then on, Duo Yuer was the lowest-level coolie here. The servants around her kept insulting her and even punching and kicking her when they saw the scar on her face.

"These people are really..." Feng Huali cursed in a low voice, and then hugged Duo Yu'er into her arms. Duo Yu'er burst into tears in her arms, sprinkling all the tears that had been around for a long time. Feng Huali rubbed her head, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you out with you."

Duo Yuer raised her head and said blankly: "Is it really...really?"

Feng Huali nodded. She saved her life, so she naturally could not abandon her. Feng Huali raised her hand and touched her cheek. There was a hideous scar that extended directly from the end of her eyes to her neck, mixed with the stain, so she didn't see it.

"Do you know the other innocent courtesans here? Aunt Xu said, if I could win the courtesan, I would be able to make money back." Feng Huali asked in a low voice.

Duo Yuer thought for a while and told her all about what she saw and heard. There are many innocent servants in this Zijin Tower, but only a few are famous. The ones who have won the courtesans among the innocent servants over the years are peony and green jade.

Peony is very competitive and even often plots against others. She is charming and many people like her. Qingyu is just the opposite. She is plain and uncompetitive and elegant in temperament. However, her piano skills are very high, and almost everyone who has heard of it will be fascinated by it.

Feng Huali responded softly, then found a small piece of clothing for Duo Yuer, took her to find a place to wash it clean, and then went to practice the piano skills. The piano has not been touched for a long time, and it is inevitable that he is a little unfamiliar. Since he has to leave, he has to win the courtesan, so he cannot neglect it.

In the days that followed, Feng Huali still had to pick up customers. Although they didn't have to be happy under them, it was enough to just keep playing the piano and having to smile and flatter him continuously. Not to mention that many customers were very unpredictable and wanted to take advantage of Feng Huali openly and secretly.

Feng Huali Huihui hid, and even once in a hurry, he lifted the inkstone and smashed it at the guest, and owed another 100 taels of silver. When he settled the accounts, Feng Huali realized that he had only earned twenty cents a day, which was not enough to make ends meet.

"What are you anxious about? Those customers don't pay much, it's good that you can get these," said Aunt Xu impatiently. "If you become a courtesan, your value will increase by then, and dozens of taels of silver a day will be a matter of a flash."

Feng Huali shook her sleeves out in anger. If this continues, when will she leave? Now I don’t know what Yan Yu is like. Inquiring in this brothel, no one knows about Yan Yu. Feng Huali is thinking about where to escape every day, but there are guards everywhere, and they are almost comparable to prison.

"What's wrong with this body..." Feng Huali raised his hand and sighed helplessly. Since that day, he has become a weak woman who cannot carry her shoulders and cannot carry her hands. The only thing that can give her a little bit of strength is on the piano.

After Aunt Xu was angry, Feng Huali lost interest in playing the piano. The strings of the piano broke out in the middle of the playing. Feng Huali kept rubbing the red fingertips.

"This song is Xiao Rongsong."

A faint male voice came from the opposite side. Feng Huali raised his head with the flow. The other party was wearing a blue dress. He put down the teacup under his hands, and his eyes never left the book in his other hand.

"What?" Feng Huali said in surprise.

"This is the song of Prince Yin Guozhu. I had the honor to hear it," the man raised his head and stared at Feng Huali and said, "It's just that you are not in good condition today, but in the past, you are better than today."

"Do you know this song?" This song is the longest song that Rong Suzhi taught Feng Huali. Whenever he played it, Feng Huali couldn't help but think of Rong Suzhi, as if he was still alive to teach him by his side.

The man nodded slightly: "This song is very good, and you play it very well."

He was able to meet someone who knew Rong Suzhi's song here. Feng Huali couldn't help but look at him a few more times. His sword eyebrows were paired with soft and kind eyes, and his thin, soft and pink lips looked like he was not old last year. Feng Huali then remembered this man. He would come to listen to his songs every day, but he would just read books and drink tea silently every day, and never say anything, so Feng Huali didn't care.

But compared to those despicable men who touched each other, Feng Huali was more willing to meet more guests like this. Feng Huali became a little interested in him and asked, "What is the name of the young master?"

"Xu Xinhuan."

He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, his face full of innocent appearance, which was very inconsistent with the atmosphere of the Zijin Tower. Feng Huali was really confused, so he asked, "Why did you come to... such a place?"

After saying that, Feng Huali remembered that he was all from such a place, and speaking like this was a bit bad. He quickly explained: "You seem to be not old last year, this Zijin Tower..."

Xu Xinyan knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her: "So what about this kind of place? I'm living in the same room with you, and what have I ever had?"

Feng Huali was speechless by him and had to give up.

Xu Xinhua would come almost every day, and he finally stopped silent, but chatted with Feng Huali in a mess. When he was idle in the room, Feng Huali was practicing piano and chatting with Duo Yuer. Duo Yuer seemed to like her brother very much. Whenever he mentioned his brother, her gloomy face would become very sunny.

Duo Yuer often praised her brother for being beautiful. He had been so enchanted by the women in the entire Huo City, and her brother was also very good at medical skills. If there are any difficult and complicated diseases here, as long as she finds her brother, she will definitely be cured.

"It's just that he left Huo City a year ago. Since then, he has sent letters occasionally, but in the past three months, my brother has not sent a letter." When talking about this, Duo Yuer became sad again, "That's why I broke into the Forbidden Land of the Biaoduo River..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out and see your brother." Feng Huali patted her on the shoulder. After Duo Yuer's introduction, Feng Huali wanted to see him. Who is Duo Yuer's brother?

It was soon the first three days of the courtesan competition. These days, Feng Huali asked Duo Yuer to pay close attention to the other two strong competitors in case they would make any small moves. As expected, Feng Huali was well guarded, and Duo Yuer soon appeared. Qingyu was sneaky these days. Although she didn't know what she was doing, she would definitely not be a good thing to hide her.

Feng Huali decided to go and see what Qingyu was doing in person. She lurked at the door of Qingyu's room early in the morning and followed Qingyu tightly when Qingyu came out. Qingyu walked into a small alley, and then arrived at a corner of the room.

Qingyu pushed open the door and walked in. After a while, a low collision sound came from inside. Feng Huali hurriedly followed, and saw Qingyu standing on a stool, pounding the iron rod of the window sealed above with a stone.

And the iron rod has been broken, and it is obvious that Qingyu has been doing this for a long time.

Feng Huali pushed the door and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"

Qingyu fell from the stool in fear. She kowtowed a few times: "Aunt, I was wrong... I will never dare to do this again. I will stay in Zijin Tower in the future and will never think about escaping. You can spare me this time--"

It turned out that she wanted to escape from such a ghost place, thinking that she was in the same camp as hers, Feng Huali quickly helped her up and chuckled and said, "It's me."
