Sang Li came out and stood on the second floor corridor, looking at the laughter and noise below.
She saw some men groping some male entertainers, and couldn't help frowning.
She had no prejudice against homosexuality, but this kind of place made her a little disgusted.
Her eyes fell on Xiao Han's side, and she found Xiao Han pulling a group of male entertainers to gamble!
"Good brothers, seven clevernesses, five bandit chiefs! Hahaha, you lost, you lost, drink, drink!" Xiao Han laughed unscrupulously, like a man.
The male entertainer on the opposite side had a bitter look on his face. They had already drunk a lot of alcohol. If they drank any more, they would probably get drunk.
"Sister, why don't we play something else?" A male entertainer stuck to her and smiled coquettishly.
Seeing him stick over, Xiao Han immediately shifted aside, "I'm telling you to speak, can you not twist your body?"
"......"
Xia Miaomiao leaned over and said to Xiao Han: "Little Han, there are so many people here, why don't we play Werewolf? So everyone can participate!"
Xiao Han's eyes lit up, "That makes sense, then let's play that!"
Xia Miaomiao immediately went to get some bamboo cards from them and wrote the roles needed to play Werewolf on them.
......
Sang Li stood on the corridor watching the two of them, and couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.
With Xiao Han's social awesomeness, she could liven up any place.
She was about to turn around and go into the room to see how Su Mo was doing when she bumped into a man in red.
"Ah!" Sang Li staggered back almost falling.
"Sister, I'm sorry!" The man in red immediately apologized, and hurriedly tried to run away.
"Stop right there! Let's see where you can run!" A few big men chased after and grabbed the man in red.
"Let me go, I won't go, I won't go!" The man in red struggled with panic all over his face.
"Humph, being sold here, you still want to run? If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't learn!" The big man slapped the man in red and he fell to the ground.
"Young Master Wang has taken a liking to you, you should be grateful! You dare try to run away?!" The big man roughly pulled up the man in red, "Let's go, if we keep Young Master Wang waiting too long, see how I'll deal with you!"
The big men dragged the man in red and were about to leave.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Sang Li looked over and couldn't help frowning. The man looked no older than eighteen or nineteen.
Seeing Sang Li looking at him, the man in red desperately called out to her, "Sister, save me, please save me!"
Sang Li felt soft-hearted and immediately called out to them, "Wait a minute!"
The big men stopped and looked at Sang Li.
Sang Li walked over and said to them, "I'll take this man."
"Sorry Miss, he's already been claimed by Young Master Wang. If you like him, you can come back tomorrow." The big man was still quite polite to Sang Li.
Sang Li paused, "I can pay double the silver."
"Sorry Miss, although we're here to make money, we still have principles. We can't offend Young Master Wang for you, right?"
Sang Li looked at the man in red and said clearly, "I see this young man doesn't really want to go. If you force him, it will only backfire. If he resists and angers Young Master Wang, won't it be even more disadvantageous? It's better if you find a reliable excuse to turn down Young Master Wang. I'll pay double to take this young man. Isn't that a win-win?"
The big men hesitated, seeming to think Sang Li made sense.
Sang Li looked into the man in red's eyes, "Are you willing to accompany me?"
The man in red nodded timidly, "I'm willing."
After deliberating, the big men said, "Alright, he's yours today."
Then, one big man threatened, "Serve this Miss well, or I'll break your legs!"
Only then did the big men leave.
The man in red immediately bowed to Sang Li, "Thank you, sister!"
Sang Li looked at his face, which was still red from the slap by the big man earlier.
He had a small face, with bangs covering his right eye.
The red clothes on him seemed a bit wicked, but his face looked very innocent.
"What's your name? How old are you?" Sang Li asked.
"Sister, my name is Gu Zhi. As for my age, I don't know..." Gu Zhi lowered his head.
Sang Li was surprised, "You don't even know your own age?"
"I... don't have many memories. All I know is my name is Gu Zhi."
Sang Li examined him, "Then how did you end up being sold here?"
Gu Zhi thought for a moment, frowning slightly, "It was my elder brother who brought me here. He said to come earn money with him. He brought me here and I haven't seen him since."
"......"
"Later I realized he had sold me here. The people here are disgusting. They insisted I accompany men. I was unwilling so they beat me." Gu Zhi looked aggrieved, as if he had suffered enormous humiliation.
He grabbed Sang Li's arm pleading, "Sister, I beg you, please save me! I don't want to stay here!"
Sang Li looked at his hand. His fingers were slender, with distinct knuckles, fair and delicate.
She sympathized with him, but... to buy back his freedom would probably cost a lot right?
They were using Bai Yunhan's money for almost everything now. They couldn't ask him for money, could they?
Sang Li felt the urgency to open a shop.
They didn't know when they'd be able to go back. They couldn't keep freeloading off the Bai family.
"I'm sorry." Sang Li pulled her arm back. "I can't help you right now."
Gu Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly, "Thank you anyway sister, for today."
Sang Li sighed inwardly, "Even if I helped you today, what about tomorrow?"
Gu Zhi lowered his eyes, "I'd rather be beaten to death than accompany those men."
Sang Li seemed to think of something and asked, "That top entertainer Qing Feng, isn't he able to sell his talents without selling his body? Can't you...?"
Gu Zhi looked self-deprecating, "Qing Feng has talents, but me... I can't do anything..."
"......"
"Sister, thank you again today. If you don't need me to accompany you, I'll go down first." Gu Zhi said respectfully.
"Wait, I'm going to get something from my friend to give you. Come with me." Sang Li said and walked downstairs.
At this time, a crowd had gathered around Xiao Han. Even some patrons who had come for pleasure curiously crowded around.
After explaining the rules to these people for so long, and demonstrating a round together, they finally seemed to understand how to play this game.
"Alright, the game has officially begun, night falls, close your eyes." Xia Miaomiao's voice came.
The twelve people gathered closed their eyes.
"Werewolves, open your eyes."
Four entertainers opened their eyes sneakily, unconsciously holding their breath.
Even the people watching tensed up.
"Who do you want to kill tonight?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
They looked at each other and all chose number one.
Undoubtedly, number one was Xiao Han.
"Okay, werewolves close your eyes. Seer open your eyes."
It was Xiao Han who opened his eyes, and the onlookers all exclaimed.
Xia Miaomiao gestured for them to be quiet, "Who do you want to check?"
Xiao Han looked at everyone's expressions and checked number three, the entertainer. Xia Miaomiao gestured he was a werewolf.
Xiao Han nodded and closed his eyes.
"Witch, open your eyes. She died tonight. You have a healing potion and a poison. Do you want to use it?"
The witch nodded and used the healing potion to save Xiao Han.
Next, Xia Miaomiao checked the Hunter's and Village Idiot's roles.
"Day breaks, everyone open your eyes. It was a peaceful night! Let's start with number one." Xia Miaomiao said.
Xiao Han was just about to speak when Sang Li walked over to her side and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Han, do you have any medicine on you? That medicinal powder you made before, just get a little bit on your body and face and it'll cause a lot of red rashes."
Xiao Han had been tinkering with some medicinal powders these past few days when she had nothing to do, saying it was just in case, so she could have them carry some whenever they went out.
