The two of them left the room, and Hua Rui and Hua Qing immediately greeted them.

Song Xiaodong put his hands behind his back and said, "My wife and I are going out for a walk." ”

"Okay, sir," said Blossom, "Yes, sir, we'll lead the way at once." ”

Qingluan frowned, and was about to say that there was no need for the two of them to go, but Song Xiaodong made a look and said, "Okay, then you can go shopping with Yunquan, it just so happens that we don't know the road here." ”

Hua Rui and Hua Qing led the way in front, and Qingluan whispered, "What are you taking them for?"

"Since they were sent by the city lord, if we don't take them with us, it is likely to make the city lord suspect our real intentions here, which will not be good. ”

Qingluan said angrily: "Hmph, I think you just want to take the two girls out to wave." ”

Song Xiaodong didn't defend either, but just smiled at Qingluan.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Hua Rui and Hua Qing retreated behind Song Xiaodong and Qingluan, Hua Qing didn't talk much, accompanied by Qingluan, Hua Rui was more lively and talkative, so she was on the other side of Song Xiaodong.

After pointing out the way, Song Xiaodong walked forward and said to Hua Rui: "What about the parents of the two of you?"

"Our parents have long since died. ”

Song Xiaodong asked again, "Then why did you come to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Hua Rui said casually: "We were bought back by the city lord. ”

"Buy? Can you buy and sell people here?"

"Yes, sir, do you want to buy two maidservants? I know where they are sold, but not in our city. ”

Seeing that Hua Rui said so naturally and casually, Song Xiaodong couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "You were bought, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Hua Rui said: "We can be bought by the city lord, that's our blessing, and now we can still follow Mr., at first glance, Mr. is a very good person, and both of us are very happy." ”

Song Xiaodong and Qingluan glanced at each other, the women here obviously had a very bad status, and they all thought it was normal to be treated as goods.

This may be because of the harsh living environment here, women can't grasp the necessary resources for survival, and must rely on men, so they are more reduced to reproductive tools, and this concept has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has already made the women here accustomed to this way of survival.

Song Xiaodong said: "Then where is this bazaar?"

"The bazaar is in the very center, and every five days, there is a bazaar, and the people of the four cities can go there if they want to buy something, or sell something," said Hua Rui. ”

"And what's the currency here? Oh, what's it used for money?"

Hua Rui said with a confused face: "What is money?"

"Then what does the lord of the city have to pay for you?"

Hua Rui said a little proudly: "The two of us spent a total of 200 catties of bacon on the city lord." ”

"Bacon ......" Song Xiaodong and Qingluan suddenly had a black line, these two flower-like girls only have a total of 200 catties of bacon, which means that a person is only worth 100 catties of bacon.

Here, it should be bartering, and the most popular is bacon.

Song Xiaodong and Qingluan both had a picture in their minds: in a bazaar, there were merchants selling goods on both sides, and then the buyers were carrying dozens of catties of bacon on their backs to walk there, and then they took a fancy to something, and directly cut off a piece of bacon to buy it, which was a very funny thing to think about.

Song Xiaodong and Hu Yanlie talked about issues such as power and military strength and geographical location, and Hu Yanlie did not talk to Song Xiaodong about this kind of people's livelihood.

And these things, that are also quite important, and even say that this is the most important reason for the war, so Song Xiaodong attaches more importance to it.

Qingluan asked at this time: "It seems that we have also eaten a lot of meat in the past two days, and we have also seen a lot of animals, it seems that there should not be too much shortage of meat, right?"

Hua Qing said: "Now is the season when those animals are active, and when they are dormant, it will be difficult to catch them again, and they can only eat bacon at that time." ”

"Is there still a dormant season?" asked Song Xiaodong.

"Yes," said Hua Rui, "we spend about half of the year here when we are dormant, and we will try to be as little active as possible. ”

Qingluan was also completely interested, and said, "Why is this happening?"

"Except for a few of the plants here that can grind some rice, the rest are not edible, and other animals cannot be eaten, only one kind of small insect can be eaten, this kind of small insect only comes out for half a year to move, when they are a lot, there are many other small animals that eat insects, and then there will be more beasts that eat meat. ”

This is a very simple food chain, it can be said that the kind of small insects should constitute the most important link of the entire food chain, if there is no such small insects, I am afraid that the food chain here will be broken.

"Why can't those plants be eaten?" Song Xiaodong asked again.

Hua Rui said: "It's all poisonous, people who eat it lightly will have diarrhea, and if it is heavy, they will die." ”

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, "I see." ”

There are very few people walking around the street, and even if there are people walking, it is some old people, or some children, and when they saw Song Xiaodong and a few people, these people all cast curious glances.

"The adult men here are out hunting, and the young girls are basically not out at home, otherwise they can get into trouble. ”

"Getting into trouble?" Song Xiaodong and Qingluan were both a little puzzled.

"yes. Hua Rui and Hua Qing both nodded, and then looked at the few people walking in front of them, with panicked expressions on their faces.

There were five men, all young people, and one of them was obviously better dressed than the others, the texture of the clothes was softer, and the clothes were decorated with some small glowing stones and other things.

The other four men flanked him, presumably his retinue.

Hua Qing immediately said, "Sir, madam, let's go quickly." ”

Hua Rui immediately followed and said: "This is the Cao soldier of the Cao family, there will be no good thing to meet him." ”

"You are the maidservants of the city lord's family, what else can they do to you?" Qingluan asked suspiciously.

"Although the city lord is the most powerful person here, the Cao family's power is great, and the city lord can't do anything about them, and the city lord won't care about a few women. ”

Hua Rui and Hua Qing watched the five people get closer and closer, and they were already even more flustered.

"Huh, how come I've never seen such a beautiful girl?" they wanted to leave, but the five men had already gathered around them.

Chapter 1385 arrogant Cao Gongzi

Although Hua Rui was flustered, he still said: "Young Master Cao, this is the gentleman we have just invited from the city lord of Huyan. ”

She first put Song Xiaodong's identity out, so that Cao Gongzi had some scruples about doing things.

Cao Bing's eyes kept revolving around Qingluan, Hua Rui and Hua Qing, he had already seen Hua Rui and Hua Qing in the City Lord's Mansion, and asked Hu Yanlie several times, but Hu Yanlie did not agree.

Usually these two people don't come out, and he doesn't have a chance to start, but now when he sees the two of them, he immediately feels that this is a good opportunity, and he also sees a Qingluan who is more beautiful than Hua Rui and Hua Qing, which makes his eyes shine even more.

His mind had long been on the three beauties, so Hua Rui didn't listen to what he said.

Cao Bing touched his chin and said, "Hua Rui, Hua Qing, where did you buy this beauty, I want it." ”

Hua Rui was shocked and said, "Master Cao, this is Mr.'s wife, and we are also Mr.'s handmaid now." ”

Cao Bing turned his gaze to Song Xiaodong's body, looked him up and down, and then waved his hand and said, "Your wife, and your two maidservants, I want them, you can make a price." ”

Song Xiaodong frowned, held Qingluan's hand, lest she break out and hurt people, and said, "My woman, I won't sell it." ”

Cao Bing raised his chin and said, "What's the matter, are you afraid that I can't afford it?" Your wife and two maidservants, I will give you 800 catties of bacon. ”

"Eight hundred catties of ......" Hua Rui and Hua Qing were taken aback, even if they were as good as them, then they were only worth one hundred catties of bacon, and now with Qingluan alone, this Cao Bing actually went directly to eight hundred catties, which is simply a sky-high price.

Eight hundred catties of bacon, which will make a family of ten enjoy the dormant period, is a great attraction for anyone here.

If it is according to the price, they should still be a little proud in their hearts, but they have long heard that this Cao Bing is not a good person, and his women will be miserable, so they are really afraid that Song Xiaodong will agree at this time, and they all look at Song Xiaodong pitifully.

Song Xiaodong said lightly: "I said it, this is my person, I won't sell it." ”

Cao Bing's face sank, he took a step forward, stretched out his finger, nodded on Song Xiaodong's chest, with a very arrogant expression, and said: "Boy, who do you think you are? The person I want Cao Bing, do you dare not sell it? I buy them, that's your honor, you don't want to be embarrassed, if you don't know each other, I won't give you a pound of meat, and then I will directly arrest people and leave." ”

Hua Rui and Hua Qing's faces were even paler, this Cao Bing's attitude, that is not to take Song Xiaodong as a thing at all, the Cao family is in this city, it is definitely a force second only to the city lord, even Hu Yanlie has to face them, if there is anything, he also needs their support.

Although Song Xiaodong was recruited by Song Xiaodong, he had no power at all, except for rewarding Song Xiaodong with his two maidservants, he did not give him a single soldier, and the power of the Cao family was definitely incomparable.

And since they were rewarded to Song Xiaodong, they were Song Xiaodong's people, and the city lord of Huyanlie would not care about them anymore, if they were robbed by Cao Bing, then they could only accept their fate.

Thinking of the miserable days they might have in the future, the two were even more frightened, but they were just women, and they had no status in this world at all, and they had no way except to accept their fate.

Hua Rui still wanted to do the best struggle, and said, "Cao ...... Mr. Cao, Mr. Song is the person recruited by our city lord......"

Cao Bing's face sank, and said: "Don't use the city lord to press me, he can be the city lord, that is our Cao family supports him, if he doesn't know each other, our Cao family doesn't support him, then he can't be the city lord, I just want two women, will Hu Yanlie come to our Cao family for you to trouble? It's a joke, Hua Rui, Hua Qing, I've been thinking about you for a long time, you better go with me obediently." ”

Hua Rui and Hua Qing were really a little heartbroken at this time, Empress Cao had such a tough attitude, they were only afraid that Hu Yanlie would come in person, then they were afraid that they would not have any chance.

Song Xiaodong didn't want to cause trouble, and it also involved how to use the people of this world, but now that the other party has bullied his head, there is no way out at all, even if Hua Rui and Hua Qing have only become his slaves today, but that is also his Song Xiaodong's person, so let people snatch it away, how can they establish prestige in the future?

Song Xiaodong stretched out his hand and grabbed Hua Rui's hand and said, "I said, you are my people, and no one can take you away without my consent." ”

Hua Rui's spirit was shocked, and she turned her head to look at Song Xiaodong, but the pale color on her face did not subside, obviously she did not have confidence in Song Xiaodong.

Cao Bing looked at Song Xiaodong and said with a gloomy face: "Boy, are you not letting people go?"

Song Xiaodong said coldly: "What kind of thing are you, the one who dares to come and ask for me?"

"Ha......" Cao Bing suddenly laughed at this time, pointed at Song Xiaodong and said: "Boy, in this city, it is the first time I have seen someone who dares to be so crazy with me, do you know what it means that you are so crazy with me?"

He thought Song Xiaodong would ask, "What does it mean?"

But Song Xiaodong looked at him coldly at all, and didn't say a word, which couldn't help but make him feel that he had punched the cotton, and he was very unhappy, and said angrily: "Boy, this means that you are dead, and these three women, that will also belong to me." ”

Song Xiaodong still didn't say a word, and the other hand held Qingluan's arm, lest she make a move, his strength can't be hidden here, but Qingluan's strength is best not to be easily exposed, this is a big hole card.

Song Xiaodong didn't talk, which made Cao Bing even angrier, waved his hand, and shouted: "Kill this kid for me." ”

Two of his four entourages immediately bullied themselves, and one person attacked Song Xiaodong with one palm.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and the shot of these two people showed that the strength of these two people was extraordinary, and they were definitely two true qi masters, definitely not the kind of ordinary thugs.

Song Xiaodong took the stamen back and said, "Take care of them." This sentence was said to Qingluan.

Qingluan was a little unhappy in her heart, she was also Song Xiaodong's wife in name, and now she had to take care of two maidservants, and she didn't let her teach these blind guys a lesson.

But she and Song Xiaodong have been together every day these days, and they have really developed a tacit understanding, and she can fully understand what Song Xiaodong means, so she can only take the two of them to take a step back.
