Chapter 61: The Slave Place
Qi Xuan blinked his eyes to meet Chu Yun's squinted eyes, and instantly became shy, only avoiding his eyes, taking Ah Qi's hand and shouting and running forward. Qing Qing smiled and followed behind, and Chu Yun stayed by her side. After walking for a while, I just looked at the street and bought something. Chu Yun felt that it was too boring, so he smiled and said: Walking like this, it's too boring. Why don't I take you to a good place?
When the two men who came to the front heard this, they turned to him and asked, "Where is the good place?"
After asking, Qi Xuan said again: I am most familiar with Miss here, and we are all clear about the four directions of southeast, south, north, and west, and what good things there are. I don't know what kind of good place Ren Gongzi said?
Chu Yun said with a smile: That place is indeed the best place for me, but for you, it may not be a good place. As he spoke, he looked at Qing Qing and turned to the two of them. Qi Xuan Ah Qi didn't quite understand it. Qi Xuan said: What do you mean by this? I asked, but I couldn't answer. Seeing that he was still like that, Qi Xuan suddenly felt that he was too lonely and unheard, so he didn't want to ask again.
At this moment, Qingqing said: Since it is a good place you said, it is not far off, you have gone, we will go with you to see it, okay?
Chu Yundao: That's fine. After saying that, he walked forward, and the three of them followed.
Unbeknownst to everyone, there was a person in the distance who saw this scene. Seeing Qingqing and the others going away, he hurriedly walked to a place and said to one person: Master, I just saw Miss Ren. Although the one who was talking was the guards in the Xifeng Palace, he was the close guard of King Qi. When Qingqing and Aoki went to the Qi Palace, he had also seen it, so he recognized it. And the one who is sitting there drinking tea at the moment is Yu Xuan.
After hearing this, Yu Xuan raised his head and asked, "Where is it?"
The guard replied: "I was in the market, but now I have gone to the east.
Yu Xuan got up and said: Let's go, let's follow.
The two of them immediately caught up along the road, and when they saw the figure, they followed closely behind, not far away. After walking for a short time, I bent a few alleys, walked a few corners, and went deep into a dead end, with only a dilapidated small shop in the innermost part. When I walked in, the people I saw were also listless, with deep eye sockets, nothing else in the store, only a big counter supporting the countertop, and a skinny old man stood behind him, looking at the table with blank eyes, as if he was awake and sleeping, in addition to him, there was also a person squatting below, and the appearance was also the same.
Chu Yun stepped forward and whispered something to the old man, the old man's eyes instantly lit up, his wrinkled lips grinned, and made a "please" motion. Chu Yun turned around and smiled and beckoned Qing Qing and the others to follow him. Qingqing immediately walked to his side, and Qi Xuan's seven stood behind him. The old man kept laughing, his eyes swept over the faces of several people, and then he turned back and led them inside. He said he was going inside, but he didn't take a few steps, but he couldn't see it outside. The old man lit a kerosene lamp above his head, and then crouched down to pull up a piece of dirt from the flat ground. It was said to be dirt, but underneath it was a wooden plank, but it was covered with a layer of dirt. The old man pulled up the whole plank and put it on the other side, then got up and smiled: Please!
The voices were too hoarse and weak, but they were full of meaning, enough to ignore the sensation of the sound alone, let alone the glowing eyes staring at them. Chu Yun, as usual, smiled at the old man and nodded, and walked down the stairs down. Seeing this, Qing Qing also followed suit. Qi Xuan was afraid in her heart, if she chose one of the two, she would still prefer to go to the dark underground, at least the young lady was there, and she didn't want to face the old man in front of her who was smiling terribly, so she didn't think about it anymore, and walked down quickly. Ah Qi followed closely.
After walking for a while, he went down deep enough into the ground and stepped on the flat ground with one foot. In front of me is a long road, there are kerosene lamps hanging on the left and right sides of the wall, one in three steps, the light is not dark or not, but it is enough to see the end of the road.
Chu Yun walked forward. Qingqing walked behind and asked, "Where is this?"
Chu Yun kept walking, didn't look back, and said: You'll know when you arrive.
When the three of them heard this, they didn't say anything, but just walked silently behind Chu Yun. At the end, I saw a tall iron gate two people wide standing there. After Chu Yun stepped forward and made some movements, the iron door was gently pushed open. Instantly, a strong light pierced into the eyes of several people, and Qingqing and the others hurriedly raised an arm to block their eyes, and their eyes couldn't help but close for a while, and after getting used to it, they slowly opened their eyes, and their arms gradually lowered. The iron door had been completely pushed open, and behind the door was a big man, holding the iron door in his hand, standing there. As far as the eye can see, there is a large floor space, which is circular in shape, and kerosene lamps are placed all over the walls. Qing Qing and the others were at the very top, and above their heads were black pressed soil, but fortunately they were fixed by layers of brackets. I believe that no matter how big the movement above is, it doesn't matter much here. After waiting for Chu Yun and them to come in, the big man closed the iron door again.
The place where they were located was like a small grandstand of an opera house, with two Taishi chairs and a wooden table sandwiched between them to hold drinks and snacks. Chu Yunqingqing sat down on the left and right, and saw a few people walking towards here in the distance. When the people got closer, it turned out to be a few girls, and they had wooden plates in their hands, which were full of drinks and snacks. The girls respectfully placed their things on the table, and then bowed down again.
Qingqing looked down, and a huge iron cage was erected on the bottom of the open space, and there were also protruding stands on the left and right sides above the iron cage, which were extremely numerous, like dense bay windows, and they were already full of people.
Qi Xuan couldn't bear it, leaned into Qingqing's ear, and asked in a low voice: Miss, where is this?
I don't know, let's take a look first.
Qi Xuan nodded and stood behind Qingqing, next to him. Ah Qi is a man after all, and he is young and vigorous, this kind of scene is somewhat to his liking. Suddenly, Chu Yun smiled and said: The show is about to start.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person walk out of the shadows, walked to the iron cage with a smile, straightened his clothes, and then bowed down to the crowd and saluted, and after straightening up, Fang said: Everyone, I am sincerely grateful to be able to come to the slave auction hall today! Then, he said: The rules are as usual, if anyone sees someone they like, they will say a price, and it is easy to talk about it. Well, without further ado, let our slaves put on the best show for you!
After speaking, someone escorted two men in the distance, and the man unlocked the door of the iron cage, pushed the two men into it, whispered to the two respectively, and then retreated.
