Chapter 863: A Fang
"You filthy things don't deserve to live in this world!"
Xia Yu raised his palm and summoned the Tianxin Sword, and before the slave traders led by him could react to what was going on, he saw a sword light flash. The slave trader at the head was stunned, and a bloody cut in his throat fell to the ground and died.
This is a veritable sword to seal his throat, Xia Yu coldly held the Tianxin Sword, looking at the rest of the slave traders, the blade of the cold light was still dripping with blood.
The rest of the slave traders were panicked, put down the whip in their hands, and prepared to draw their swords and face Xia Yu.
Wu Yunkuo and Su Jun saw that Xia Yu was fighting with these slave traders, and wanted to come over to help, but before they could get closer, Xia Yu settled the battle.
Xia Yu rushed forward like a storm, slashing horizontally and vertically, the sword light was dazzling, only to see blood splashing everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, several slave traders all fell in a pool of blood, and their lives were whimpered.
Those slaves were all stunned, and looked at Xia Yu with god-like eyes. After being stunned for a while, they all knelt on the ground, bowed to Xia Yu, and said some language that Xia Yu didn't understand.
Those slaves were all warriors, and they had shackles on their hands, feet, and necks, Xia Yu took out the key from the corpse of the slave trader, opened the shackles, and said to those slaves:
"Now that you are free, go home. ”
The slaves looked at Xia Yu in surprise, they couldn't believe their ears, Xia Yu waved his hand and said again, "You are free, go home." ”
The slaves confirmed this time that the god had given them freedom and that they could return home to their families. The slaves burst into cheers, ripped off their ropes, jumped in joy, and set out on their way home.
There was only one slave who didn't leave, and that was the slave who was rescued by Xia Yu just now and looked like a big ape.
The slave puffed, knelt in front of Xia Yu, held his fists, and kowtowed to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu supported him and said, "Get up, get up, you don't have to be like this, get up quickly." ”
The slave said a lot of words, but he couldn't speak Xia Yu's language, and after talking for a long time, Xia Yu sounded like an ape's cry, and he didn't understand a word.
Although he couldn't understand what the slave was saying, Xia Yu could tell from his expression that he was thanking Xia Yu.
Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Friend, don't be so polite, go home, your relatives are still waiting for you at home." ”
The big ape put his big hand into his mouth, and with a gag sound, he broke off a fang, handed it to Xia Yu, and screamed twice.
Xia Yu looked at it and understood, the big ape wanted to give this tooth to him as a gift.
Whether a gift is precious or not lies not in its value, but in the friendship it carries.
Xia Yu smiled, accepted the fang, and said, "Thank you." ”
The ape-man arched his hand towards Xia Yu, said goodbye to Xia Yu, and turned to leave.
Wu Yunkuo and Su Jun came to Xia Yu's face, looked at the fang, and then looked at the back of the ape-man who was far away.
Su Jun frowned and said, "This thing is dirty, Xiao Yu, throw it away." ”
Xia Yu said: "This is the friend's heart, I can't throw it, I have to keep it." ”
Xia Yu put the fangs into the storage bag.
Su Jun said, "Is that guy a human or an ape?"
Wu Yunkuo said: "That guy should be an ape-man. ”
"Ape man?" Su Jun looked at Wu Yunkuo in surprise.
Wu Yunkuo said: "In Jiaozhou, the Central Three Prefectures, there is a group of half-human, half-ape creatures, they are called ape-men, they are born with infinite strength, brave and good at fighting. ”
Su Jun was now full of thoughts about rescuing his daughter, and he didn't have the heart to study the ape-man, so he said, "We're almost rested, let's hurry up." ”
Xia Yu, Su Jun, and Wu Yunkuo boarded the carriage and continued to hurry, and at noon, they finally arrived outside the crockpot city.
Crockpot City is a cylindrical castle, tall and sturdy, and from a distance, it exudes a sense of forest.
There is a suspension bridge in front of the clay pot city, and there is a group of minions standing in front of the suspension bridge, seeing Xia Yu and their convoy coming over, the minions raised the weapons in their hands and shouted: "Stop!"
The coachman grabbed the reins and stopped the car, Wu Yunkuo lifted the curtain, looked at the minions, and said: "I am a friend of the boss of the wind and sand, my name is Wu Yunkuo, and I want to see the boss of the wind if I have something." ”
Wu Yunkuo handed a letter to his entourage, who in turn forwarded the letter to the minions.
The minions at the head took the letter and looked at it, and said, "You wait here, I'll go in and say goodbye." ”
The minions entered the crockpot city with the letter, and after a while, the minions came back and told Wu Yunkuo that Fenglisha had something to do and would come back in the afternoon, and Wu Yunkuo wanted to see Fenglisha and come back in the afternoon.
The rules of the crockpot city are extremely strict, and no one is allowed to enter the crockpot city without the permission of the wind and sand. 123 Kanshu.com
Wu Yunkuo said to Xia Yu and Su Jun: "Let's take a walk outside the city, and then enter the city in the afternoon." ”
Outside the crockpot city is a large slave market, bustling and very lively. Slave traders gathered here to peddle all kinds of slaves, men, women and children.
Like cattle, these slaves were kept in cages, some on ropes, with their heads drooping, standing there waiting to be bought.
Xia Yu and Su Jun looked at the miserable situation of these slaves, and then thought of Su Xue'er, a heart seemed to be held by a big hand, and it hurt, it hurt.
Xia Yu and Su Jun followed Wu Yunkuo to walk in the crowded and dirty slave market and saw two slaves, a mother and daughter.
The mother was ragged, yellow-skinned, nearly forty years old, and her daughter was also dirty, looking no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. The mother and daughter hugged each other, crying and crying.
The slave trader next to him shouted to the passers-by, "Cheap slave sale, cheap slave sale." ”
A fat man stopped, and this fat man was brightly dressed, and he wore a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, and he looked like a rich man.
The fat man stared at the mother and daughter, and finally his lustful gaze fell on the daughter.
The fat man pinched his chin and smiled, and asked the slave trader, "How much is this little girl?"
Seeing that someone was asking for the price, the slave trader smiled with wrinkles on his face and said, "This master, this little girl is very cheap, only eighty taels of silver." ”
The fat man stared at the little girl and kept looking, her eyes were full of evil, and the little girl was very frightened, and hid in her mother's arms in panic.
The fat man smiled: "Okay, eighty taels of silver, deal, I want this little girl." ”
The fat man pulled a silver ticket out of his sleeve and threw it at the slave trader very casually.
When the slave trader saw that the fat man was a wealthy man, he dragged the mother and said, "How about this woman, sir, if you buy it with this little girl, I will give you a discount, one hundred and twenty taels of silver." The two slaves together cost only one hundred and twenty taels of silver, where in the world can I find such a low price? ”
The fat man frowned and looked at the mother, and said, "I don't want this old one, I want this little one." ”
The slave trader refused to give up, and continued to persuade: "Master, this woman doesn't look very good, but she can do work, cook on the fire, do laundry and sweep the floor, and do everything." ”
"No, no, I want this little one," the fat man handed the silver ticket to the slave trader and grabbed the little girl.
The daughter was reluctant to be separated from her mother, so she grabbed her mother's arm tightly and screamed: "Mother, mother, mother......"
"Release, release!" the fat man glared at the mother and yelled at him.
The mother cried out in tears and clung to her daughter.
The fat man pursed his lips and asked the slave trader, "If you sell this little girl, if you don't sell it, return the silver ticket to me." ”
"Sell, sell, how can you not sell," the slave trader smiled in front of the fat man, then turned around and glared at the mother with a fierce look, "You loser money, don't you let go of your hand, let go, do you hear!"
The slave trader went up and broke the mother's hand, and the mother bit the slave trader as if she were crazy, and the slave trader screamed in pain, "You don't know whether you live or die, I will kill you today!"
The slave trader took off the whip from his waist and wanted to beat the mother, Xia Yu came over, grabbed the whip, and asked the slave trader coldly, "How much is this mother and daughter worth, I'll buy it." ”
The slave trader looked at Xia Yu and showed a smile, what he wanted to do business was to make money with harmony.
The slave trader said to Xia Yu: "Yo, young master, hello, hello, this little girl has been bought by this master, if this young master wants to buy it, I will give the young master a discount, a fixed price, how about fifty taels of silver?"
Xia Yu said coldly: "I want to buy all this mother and daughter." ”
The slave trader was a little embarrassed and said, "Young master, I have already sold this little girl to this master, and I will come first when I do business." ”
The fat man next to him was unhappy when he saw that Xia Yu was going to buy the little girl, looked at Xia Yu, and shouted: "What do you mean, this little girl is what I took a fancy to first, and I bought it with silver first." ”
Xia Yu said: "Then you make a price, how much is this little girl worth, I want to buy all this mother and daughter." ”
The fat man looked at Xia Yu, his nostrils turned to the sky, and sneered: "What do you mean, call me a board, uncle, I am the least afraid of taking money to call a board!"
As he spoke, the fat man took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, held them in his hand and shook them, showing his face as a local tyrant to the fullest.
Xia Yu was patient and said, "Let me ask you, how much do you want for this little girl?"
The fat man coaxed and said, "Uncle, I am not short of money, and I will not sell this little girl." ”
"Can I give you two hundred taels of silver?" Xia Yu took out the silver ticket.
The fat man was angry and shouted, "What do you mean, don't you spoil people? Boss, I also bought this woman." ”
The fat man wanted to buy his mother too, and the slave trader was so happy that he said, "Yes, yes, you can give this woman forty taels of silver." ”
