Chapter 104 Freedom
"What about you, sir?" The old bustard smiled, but her feet involuntarily twitched, but there was a flattering smirk on her face.

"Let me ask you, how much money do you want this time to let me redeem Miss Qiu Ju?" As Li Jianxin spoke, the half-demon and half-Buddha figure of King Ming appeared behind him.

Only then did the bustard realize that Li Jianxin was a stump, and quickly let go of Qiu Ju's chin, and said in a mournful voice, "This...Mr. Li, if you want to redeem Qiu Ju, you only need 3000 taels of silver, which can't be less. No matter how little it is, I will be..." The old bustard said, but then he didn't speak.

"What is it?" Li Jianxin asked with a smile, but his aura was even more serious.

"It's nothing, I'm old, it's just a slip of the tongue. It's her blessing that the young master wants to redeem Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju got up and thanked the young master." The old bustard picked up Qiu Ju tremblingly, and helped Qiu Ju to the house. In front of Li Jianxin.Li Jianxin regained his composure, took out three banknotes and handed them to the bustard, and said, "Bring over Qiu Ju's deed of prostitution."

"Hey." The bustard agreed, but hurried out of the room after collecting the money.

After a while, the old bustard came over with a piece of paper, handed it to Li Jianxin and said, "Mr. Li, this is Miss Qiuju's contract of prostitution, please keep it."

Li Jianxin took the contract of sale and looked at it twice, handed it to Qiu Ju and asked, "Qiu Ju, is this your contract of sale?"

Qiu Ju took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, but tears dripped down involuntarily. With trembling hands, she handed the contract of sale in her hand to Li Jianxin again and said, "Little girl Qiu Ju, I would like to serve Mr. Li in this life." Be an ox or a horse." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

However, Li Jianxin stretched out her hand to hold Qiu Ju firmly, and said to the madam: "You have nothing to do here, so you can go out."

"Hey, ma'am, I don't want to hinder the two of you from being happy." The old bustard said and went out of the room and closed the door behind her.

"You are free, Qiu Ju." Li Jianxin said, walked to the candlestick, and burned Qiu Ju's contract of prostitution.Qiu Ju watched the piece of paper that bound her disappear in the flames, and somehow felt a sense of emptiness.

Are you free?But what is freedom?Thinking of this, Qiu Ju murmured, "I'm free?"

"Yes, you are free." Li Jianxin let go of the last finger he was holding, letting the deed of prostitution turn into ashes and sway in the air.

"But what is freedom?" Qiu Ju asked.

"Freedom is when you do what you want to do. Freedom is when you are not restrained. Freedom is when you leave Tianxiang Tower. No one can lock you in one place and hurt you anymore. As a human being, you should be free." Li Jianxin pressed Qiu Ju's shoulders hard and said.

"My lord, did you burn the deed of prostitution because you disliked Qiu Ju's inability to please others? Qiu Ju really doesn't want that kind of freedom." Qiu Ju dared not look at Li Jianxin, but said softly.

"No, no, freedom is what everyone should pursue, and nothing can take away your freedom except death. When you die, your soul will also break free from the shackles of your body and re- Get great freedom. You don’t have to be restrained. You don’t need to be afraid of a sudden whip, you don’t need to be afraid of having nothing to do, and you don’t need to be afraid of having no place to live. This is a free person.” Li Jianxin said, holding Qiu Ju’s shoulder tightly.

"But I didn't feel as good as you said, my lord!" Qiu Ju raised her head and looked at Li Jianxin and said.

"Really?" Li Jianxin said, touching his nose and saying, "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

"Qiu Ju dare not." Qiu Ju said with her head down.

"You see you are free now, if I sell you to Tianxianglou again, how would you feel?" Li Jianxin looked at Qiu Ju with a smile.I saw Qiu Ju's face changing, her knees softened, and she almost fell to her knees in front of Li Jianxin, but said in a mournful voice: "Mr. Li, please don't do this, Qiu Ju... Qiu Ju really doesn't want to go in again. "As he spoke, tears rolled down his face slowly.

Only then did Li Jianxin realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly supported Qiu Ju to sit down, comfortingly said: "Didn't I tell you before? It was all a joke, it was all a joke, why did you take it seriously?"

"I...I...I really thought...Young master is going to sell me back." Qiu Ju then took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped the tears from her face, and said while watching Li Jianxin choked up.

"You, you, I really can't take a joke. But, you know the benefits of freedom now! Does it mean that losing your freedom now is worse than dying?" Li Jianxin said with a smile, pouring it on himself A bowl of wine.

"It's true. Now when I think about losing my freedom, I feel like I'm going to die." Qiu Ju laughed as she spoke.

"Well, so, you have to guard your freedom well." After Li Jianxin finished speaking, he drank heavily.

"Yeah," Qiu Ju replied solemnly, nodding her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that the little girl doesn't know how to repay her benefactor."

"This is simple. There are too many people here. Let's talk about it later. For now, just eat enough. Are you hungry?" Li Jianxin said and handed Qiu Ju a pair of chopsticks.Qiu Ju quickly took the chopsticks with both hands, thanked her, and carefully picked up the food and put it in her mouth. After eating two or three chopsticks, she didn't dare to eat more.

Li Jianxin saw all this in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You should eat more, don't be so afraid, no one here will hurt you."

"Yeah." Qiu Ju took two or three chopsticks and stopped eating, just doing it cautiously.Li Jianxin didn't say much. He just finished drinking and said to Qiu Ju: "Let's go, I'll take you out first. You probably haven't seen much of the scene outside." With that, he pulled Qiu Ju's hand Hands, walked down the stairs and left Tianxiang Tower.

The moment she went out, Qiu Ju looked back at the half-closed door of Tianxiang Building, and took a deep breath of air, feeling that the air outside was fresher, and her whole body became more alive.Qiu Ju looked around. It was the first time for her to feel the world outside the window so close to her. The mixture of all kinds of strange smells in the air made her nose a little itchy, and her eyes were filled with tears. This is a new life. tears.

Qiu Ju's tears dripped down the dim street, fell on her clothes and disappeared, but her face showed an unprecedented joy.
