Chapter 2622 - 2622 The Vessel Market
2622 The Vessel Market
Afterwards, he still found this not enough to vent his anger, so he chased over and kicked the old woman several times more.
Madam née Li kept yelling. This continued until she was exhaling more than she was inhaling. She was at her last gasp while lying on the alley’s icy floor.
“Consider the two of you unlucky.” That muscular man laughed greedily. “I haven’t eaten a full meal in days. Once I sell your daughter, I will have money.”
“Ah, ah, what are you doing? You scoundrel, let go of me, you let go of me!”
“Phooey! Who wants to do anything to you!” That muscular man swung his hand. He thought about it and stopped himself from hitting Qiao Yingchun’s face, instead ripping Qiao Yingchun’s clothes at her shoulder.
“Such an old-looking face, with dark skin and coa.r.s.e hands. If not because I truly don’t have food to eat anymore, would I kidnap such goods like you? I wonder if the market will even take you.” The muscular man mumbled as he dragged her by the hair, advancing further into the alley. He did not have any tender feelings for the fairer s.e.x at all.
“Ah! Ahh!” Qiao Yingchun screamed in horror. She grabbed that man’s thigh and begged, “Let, let me go, sir. Sir, let me go.”
“I’ll let you go hussy if you give me one hundred spirit currency.”
Qiao Yingchun felt powerless and bitter. She could not produce a single spirit currency right now, let alone one hundred!
“No spirit currency? How dare you blab nonsense when you don’t have spirit currency!” That muscular man grabbed her hair without mercy. He pulled her scalp and walked into the alley like he was holding a chicken.
Qiao Yingchun screeched, “Mom, Mom save me! What are you lying there for? Mom! Mom! Ah! You let go! Mom! You old woman, move! What are you doing? You’re just gonna watch on as your own daughter gets dragged away to get sold! Useless thing! Trash. Trash, tras.h.!.+ You’re all tras.h.!.+ Ah!!!”
Qiao Yingchun fell from disappointment to despair, and then let out a torrent of curses.
She did not know that the muscular man’s kicks had broken her mother Madam née Li’s hands and legs. She lay on the icy ground, unable to get up at all.
This small alley leading to the Vessel Market would only become active at night, filled with a hubbub of voices.
As for right now, very few people naturally pa.s.sed through in the daytime.
As a result, it wasn’t until late at night when the night watchman discovered in horror that someone had died in this small alley.
When Madam née Li was discovered, she was lying face up, her eyes wide open. She had frozen to death.
This all happened in a later story.
Right now, Qiao Yingchun was struggling to hit and kick that muscular man as she cursed her old mother for being useless. She got dragged by the scalp all the way into the Vessel Market’s main entrance.
The several rows of crimson lanterns at the Vessel Market’s entrance were naturally dark at this time.
The main doors were shut.
However, that muscular man walked to a small door on the side with great familiarity. He kicked the door hard!
The small door was soon opened, and a hunchbacked old man came out. He eyed him with suspicious eyes and said with disgust, “w.a.n.g Ba, why have you come again punk? Didn’t our Mum Yi warn you not to come again?”
“Heh, Old Man Li, don’t block my path to riches! Scram, scram, scram. Scram to the side. Naturally, I came today because I have goods for Mum Yi.”
“Ah, let go, let go!”
That hunchbacked Old Man Li swept w.a.n.g Ba a look of ridicule, “Ha, you punk. You kidnapped a pure and innocent maiden from who knows where again?”
