Chapter 3
Pinfang Pavilion.
An elegant room on the second floor.
Lin Xiu is comforting Haitang.
Through the conversation just now, he has learned about Haitang's background.
She was originally born in an ordinary farmer's family in Jiangning Prefecture, Daxia. She was the eldest daughter of the family. Her family was poor, and the family of three barely managed to get by. Later, her parents gave birth to a son, and the family of four could no longer support herself.
In exchange for a few taels of silver, her parents sold her to a wealthy family in the city.
This is not a bad thing in the first place, although after selling oneself, the future destiny does not belong to him, but at least he can live on, and he will not starve to death, and the life of his parents and younger brother will be better than before.
However, the master of the rich family covets her body, if not for the jealousy of the mistress, he might have laid hands on her long ago. After sensing her husband's thoughts, the mistress beat and scolded her frequently on weekdays. , he would vent his anger on her, and later resold her directly to a brothel.
Facing the guests arranged by the brothel, at first she resisted to death, but after being beaten and tortured several times, she gave up resisting.
Then, it is the growth path of an ordinary brothel girl.
Lin Xiu gently held the woman's hand, sighed and said: The past is over, the past is over, you still have to look forward, you still have a future.
Lin Xiu was delaying time, but it wasn't all delaying time.
At first he looked down on these brothel women, but later this mentality changed.
For people like Haitang, their fate is not in their hands since they were born, and they themselves are powerless to change anything.
Haitang's eyes were moistened by Lin Xiu's reminder of the past, but she still shook her head and said, Young master said it lightly, what future does a person like me have?
Lin Xiu patted her hand lightly, and said: Actually, I can understand some of your feelings. After my parents divorced, they married each other. I don't understand. I am also their child. How could they not understand? Just don't want me...
In another life, Lin Xiu's parents divorced and formed their own families.
After that, Lin Xiu seemed to be forgotten, and the two rarely contacted Lin Xiu, except in terms of money, they never treated him badly.
It's just that they didn't know that what Lin Xiu lacked was never money.
However, being rich also has the advantage of being rich, that is, there is never a lack of company around you. This may be because every few days, when Lin Xiu wakes up, she will have a beautiful face around her, but there are still so many people rushing forward. s reason.
Lin Xiu contributes the money, they contribute their efforts, each takes what they need.
After a long time, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, completely sealed up certain memories, and never recalled them again.
After all, this is already a matter of the previous life.
Haitang raised her head and looked at Lin Xiu, she couldn't believe it and said, Young master has such an experience?
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said: That's all in the past. People like us, don't always think about the past, but think more about the future. The past cannot be changed, and the future has all possibilities...
Haitang trembled, as if she was thinking carefully about Lin Xiu's words, the room fell into silence.
At this time, Lin Xiu's eyes also had a flash of light.
Give him a moment, and he can copy all the abilities in Haitang's body!
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, mixed with the shouting of the old bustard.
Hey girl, you can't go in!
Girl, girl...
...
boom!
The door of the room here suddenly opened.
No, it's not open, it's down.
The two thick door panels just fell down straight.
A tall woman in white clothes stood at the door, fixed her eyes on Lin Xiu, gritted her teeth and said, Lin Xiu, how dare you visit brothels!
With the appearance of the woman in white, it seemed that the temperature in the entire room dropped a bit.
Lin Xiu looked at the woman in white with a confused face: Who are you?
The woman in white strode up to Lin Xiu, grabbed his wrist, and said coldly, Come back with me!
Lin Xiu has no memory of this body, doesn't know this woman at all, and doesn't know the relationship between the two, but no matter what their relationship is, as long as he is given a little more time, he can possess Haitang's ability.
When the woman in white grabbed her wrist, Lin Xiu hurriedly said, Wait a minute, just a moment...
However, the next moment, a huge force came from her wrist, Lin Xiu was directly pulled up by her, and dragged out of the room.
The hand he held with Haitang was also broken the next moment.
Just like when copying files, the progress has reached 99%, but the USB flash drive was ruthlessly pulled out.
The almost perfect ability in Lin Xiu's body completely collapsed and disappeared.
No!
Lin Xiu roared in grief and anger, but it was of no avail.
He slammed the woman's hand away and said angrily, What are you doing!
The woman in white didn't expect Lin Xiu to burst out with such great strength, but she didn't think about it. She just asked with a cold face, I should be the one asking you this question, right?
Lin Xiu asked, Who are you to me? Why do you ask me?
His words were both angry and questioning.
The woman in white looked at Lin Xiu, and her chest, which was already quite large, began to rise and fall rhythmically.
Such a person is actually her future brother-in-law?
How could he be worthy of the proud daughter of the Zhao family?
In the past, that's all. Although Lin Xiu didn't awaken strange arts and didn't practice martial arts, she didn't have any bad deeds. After all, it was a marriage contract made by the older generation decades ago. Apart from being angry for her sister, she couldn't say anything.
But today, he actually saw Lin Xiu shopping in the brothel. Even though he was engaged to his sister, he went shopping in the brothel in broad daylight and confidently, even pretending that he didn't know her!
You still pretend!
boom!
In a panic, she kicked towards Lin Xiu regardless of the dress she was wearing. After the awakening of the strange magic, Lin Xiu's reaction was much faster. He retreated quickly, cast his gaze inadvertently, and thought to himself, The beauty in front of me really likes white.
Where are you looking!
Lin Xiu's gaze did not escape the woman in white. She was ashamed and angry, and immediately put down her legs, and attacked Lin Xiu with a knife in her hand.
Her speed was much faster than before. Lin Xiu didn't dodge this time, but felt a pain in the back of her neck, and her body went limp, so she fell to the ground.
Seeing Lin Xiu fainted on the ground, the woman in white's chest heaved for a long time before her anger gradually calmed down. She said coldly, Sun Dali, take him back!
There was no response to her words, the woman in white turned her head to look, and Sun Dali had gone somewhere for a long time.
She stomped her feet angrily, kicked Lin Xiu's butt a few times, then carried him on her shoulders and strode out of the room.
Haitang was frightened into a fool, and she sat blankly at the table. The bustard at the door was the first to recover, and hurriedly shouted: He, he hasn't paid yet!
...
When Lin Xiu opened her eyes, she still saw Sun Dali's square face.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to be knocked out by the woman in white.
Thinking of the woman in white, Lin Xiu sat up from the bed reflexively, and then fell down heavily.
The pain from his butt made his expression a little hideous.
Sun Dali hurriedly said: Young master, don't panic, he has already left.
Lin Xiu clutched her butt, looking flustered, and asked, What happened after I passed out!
Sun Dali explained: Young master, don't worry, when the second lady carried you back, your buttocks were swollen. I could see clearly from the outside, she kicked the swollen...
swollen...
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something, looked at Sun Dali, and said angrily: You are my guard, so you just watch her kick me?
Sun Dali retracted his head and said helplessly: Then I'm not the second young lady's opponent, it's useless if I do it, and I can call for help if I hide...
Lin Xiu looked at this square face and forcibly resisted the urge to slap him.
He had reason to doubt whether this guy was an undercover agent sent by the enemy to the Lin family.
But thinking about it carefully, what he said seemed to make some sense. Lin Xiu gritted her teeth and planned to write this account to him first, and asked, Who is she?
Sun Dali said in disbelief: Young Master, don't you even know Second Miss?
Lin Xiu shook her head and said, Didn't you tell me, I can't remember anything.
Sun Dali came back to his senses, and immediately explained: Of course it's the second miss of the Zhao family. You and the eldest miss of the Zhao family have been engaged since childhood, and counting, the second miss should be your sister-in-law...
Lin Xiu froze in place: What... a marriage contract?
Sun Dali hurriedly said: Young master, don't worry, I will tell you slowly...
Lin Xiu listened to Sun Dali's narration in astonishment.
Decades ago, it was probably the generation of the grandfathers of the Lin family and the Zhao family. The Lin and Zhao families were once close friends. At that time, the two families made a marriage contract for the next generation in order to get closer.
However, the next generation of the two families are all men, so the marriage contract has continued to Lin Xiu's generation.
Eighteen years ago, the Mr. Zhao family gave birth to a daughter, and the Lin family gave birth to a son. The marriage contract made by the previous generation was formally established.
But in the past ten years, the Lin family has been in decline, and the Zhao family has risen to the sky. So far, one family has become a new wealthy family in Daxia, and the other family is about to fall out of the ranks of the powerful. This marriage contract naturally fell into an embarrassing situation. .
In addition, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Lin Xiu's fiancée, awakened a powerful supernatural power when she was young, and she is a well-deserved daughter of heaven's pride, while Lin Xiu is just an ordinary person. The gap also made it impossible for this marriage contract to come true.
Lin Xiu was stunned after hearing this.
engagement?
What a joke, it's impossible for him to get married. In his previous life plus this life, it's impossible for him to get married.
The failed marriage of his parents in his previous life left a lot of psychological shadow on him when he was still young, which directly led to Lin Xiu's fear of marriage later.
Just thinking about such things as getting married made him feel a little chilly all over.
Later, Lin Xiu also saw a psychiatrist. The very philosophical doctor told Lin Xiu that he was not afraid of marriage, but that he had not met a woman who made him willing to marry.
The more he fears something, the more he desires something.
To be honest, this sentence hurts.
Lin Xiu is actually very envious of those happily married families. This is something he very much desires to have, but he has never had it.
Later, he comforted himself like this. For a person like him, what good is marriage? Marriage means responsibility. After getting married, how can he ride his horse?
This idea has continued to the present.
This marriage contract must be canceled in a way. What age is it? They still engage in arranged marriages. For the sake of their own happy future, Lin Xiu will never allow this marriage to exist.
But having said that, if such a marriage really existed, then the beating he just had was indeed not in vain.
It makes sense for my sister-in-law to act angrily when she saw her future brother-in-law visiting a brothel.
Lin Xiu suddenly realized something, and immediately asked: Wait, you just said that I was carried back by Miss Zhao's family?
Sun Dali shook his head and corrected him: It's carrying.
Lin Xiu didn't care whether she carried it on her back or on her back. It would take a long time to walk from Pinfang Pavilion to Lin's house, let alone carrying a person on her back. During this time, many things could happen.
He asked urgently: Second Miss Zhao Family, have you awakened the magic?
Of course. Sun Dali said affirmatively, Second Miss awakened, but the ice magic is powerful even among all the magic...
Lin Xiu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, Go down, I'm going to rest.
It was getting late at this time, Sun Dali walked to the door of the room and said: Then young master, you should rest first, call me if you have something to do, I'm next door.
When Sun Dali closed the door and left, Lin Xiu stretched out her palm and let out a light breath.
The next moment, a layer of frost began to slowly condense on his palm.
The surrounding temperature also suddenly dropped a bit.
