014: The sprouts are still gray

After seeing Lao Gu and Grandma Sun, there was only the last general flag Lao Hou left, with the title of "Counselor of Xicheng Zoo", to manage the nominal core business of the elephant training institute. It just so happened that the "materials" could be prepared at the Tongtian River Wharf further south, so Wang Kunlun drove Gao De to the animal park.

There was also a small episode before departure, and Gao De looked at the tattered steam car, and his ass hurt again.

"We are only a hundred households, the funds are too small, and we dare not spend it indiscriminately to find a way to get some money," Wang Kunlun poured bitter water, "I am afraid that I will be impeached by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who cannot complete the performance, and I use garbage trucks to transport garbage at the scene." ”

It's no wonder that when I got it yesterday, the smell in the carriage was no different from that of the sewer.

In desperation, Gao De had to find a cushion to make do, and on the way told Wang Kunlun to buy an Antarctica's bread. That thing is cheap, durable, and comfortable, and it is the Wuling Hongguang of this world. The car is very large and can be loaded, and even the robbers who rob the house are regarded as artifacts.

"Antarctica's cost nearly 1,000 gold dragons, and the second-hand also costs four or five hundred, which is worth half a year's service expenses," Wang Kunlun continued to call the poor, "Speaking of which, prepare materials, mobilize informants, and find people from the TV station to work, there is no money in the institute, so we have to apply for special funds from above." ”

"Don't worry about money," Gao De had to pat his chest with tears, "I brought four ...... Five thousand golden dragons came over, but it was not enough to find the above. ”

Driving slowly on the gravel dirt road, the steam car with Gaode's ass and piles suddenly became fast and stable. Turn onto the avenue and arrive at the zoo in a few minutes.

The scale of the zoo is not large, with a family of six elephants, lions, tigers, brown bears, grizzly bears and even black and white bears, all of which are large beasts. Through the high fence woven by barbed wire, you can see the "Elephant Forest", "Lion Plain", "Tiger Mountain", "Bamboo Sea", "Bear Valley" and other areas, the beasts are in good spirits, the park is very clean, and the management level is OK. Unfortunately, there are few tourists on the roads that run through the districts, and as Wang Kunlun said, most of the money of the elephant training institute is fed into the stomachs of this group of fierce beasts, but it has not produced much benefit.

If you have time, AutoNavi really wants to revisit the old place and see how to improve the level of operation as the owner. After all, this is the nominal main business, and the title of "Director of Xicheng Beast Park" is his.

Naturally, I didn't have time now, so I pulled Lao Hou into the car at the back door and went straight to the Tongtian River Wharf further south.

"Lord Baihu is really young and promising, a talent, and he has accumulated ten lifetimes of blessings to serve under the command of Lord Baihu......"

The ordinary middle-aged man in the car stammered desperately with an ordinary level, and when Wang Kunlun said the order to kill the head that the elephant received, he was ordinary and paralyzed in his seat.

"Buy a few dark elves? Some of them have a way, and there is a way to the Changgong Market at Tongtianhe Wharf!"

Speaking of this, Lao Hou is not ordinary. "But the limelight is too terrible right now, and if those people dare to do it, I have to find a way to convince them. Lao Wang and the Lord of the Hundred Households were not allowed to show their faces, so as not to frighten them. ”

The so-called "long-term labor market" is actually the slave market, the Ming Dynasty abolished slaves at the beginning of the country, but the abolition is only a form, through long-term labor, debt deeds and other workarounds, the essence of slaves has continued to this day. Aurora slaves are rare now, most of them are of other races, and the Dark Elves are one of them. Of course, no one dares to buy and sell in the open, and the dark elves are one of the four great cowards who are captured and killed by the government's explicit order.

"There are dark elves in the dark workshop in the green sleeve workshop," Lao Hou said, his eyebrows fluttering, "black-skinned bean sprouts, don't look at the small size of the black and swarthy, the taste of inner charm...... Tsk, it's a man who likes it. ”

Speaking of this, the old marquis asked: "Why don't you go to the green sleeve workshop to catch it?" ”

"It's not that you don't know the status of our elephant taming institute," Wang Kunlun smacked his lips and sighed: "Up to the Soldiers and Horses Department of the Ministry of War, the Department of Discipline and Discipline of the Criminal Department, and down to the Patrol Department of Zhongjing Mansion, this kind of good thing has already been divided, which round will get us?"

Green Sleeve Fang is the general name of the custom area, which is also related to the founding ancestor. All employees in the Ming custom industry must sew a green stripe on the sleeve to show their identity, and people call the custom area the green sleeve workshop, which is said to have been issued by Taizu.

I heard Lao Hou say that there are dark elves in the Green Sleeves Workshop, and Gao De also said that those old bustards are too bold. Remembering that the old prince was planted on the dark elves he raised, he was relieved again. What kind of ban is just in charge of the general public and the grassroots of the government.

The steam car drove for another half an hour and drove into the Xicheng Wharf of Tongtian River. The street is bustling, and the shadow of the longing sail covers the distance and the distance, and it is a large market that is extremely lively.

Wang Kunlun pulled the whistle loud and slammed into several ox carts and carriages, completely rampage, and finally drove into the large courtyard that looked like a livestock market. Even if it's just a small elephant training place, the Jinyi Guard is no less arrogant than the ordinary people.

"The Lord of the Hundred Households and Lao Wang watched the excitement outside, and went in to buy it. ”

Lao Hou nodded and explained to Gao De, and when he went to the office at the back of the courtyard, he changed the person inside to nod to him.

Gao De's attention was all in the courtyard at this time, and he was really eye-opening at this moment.

The courtyard is neatly drawn with white lines, and in each block there are squatting "long-term workers" of different races, and guests stroll along the passages between the blocks, stopping from time to time to judge the "long-term workers" inside.

There were few guards in the huge market, and they were still squatting lazily next to the gate. There are no shackles or other prohibitions on the "long workers", and there is no pain on their faces, either the eagerness to be chosen, or the anxiety of waiting, and the loss of not being chosen.

They can't wait to sell themselves, even as slaves, and sell their lives.

In this compound, Gauder saw lizardmen with long flat heads and scaly bodies, short dwarves with bearded faces as strong as calves, half-orcs with ears on their heads and tails wagging behind their buttocks, and pointed ears that were identical to those of dark elves except for a slight difference in skin color.

"That's the Gray Elf," Wang Kunlun followed his gaze to see those brown-skinned pointed ears, and explained to him, "It's a hybrid of the Dark Elf and Aurora Life, this kind of ...... Gray bean sprouts are not as easy to provoke evil spirits as black-skinned bean sprouts. However, the blood is mixed, and the status is so low that not only we look down on it, but also the black-skinned bean sprouts. There are not many of them in Zhongjing, and it is normal for a hundred households to see them for the first time. ”

"Gray bean sprouts work meticulously, not too dirty and tired, and very obedient. Although it has little strength, it still has a lot of use. Lao Hou bought more than a dozen lions and tigers to serve in the animal park, and it was quite easy to use. ”

At this time, it only made Gao De a little uncomfortable, and Xiaoli was also a bean sprout. Although it is a white bean sprout that is rarer than a black and white bear, and its status is extremely high, it is a bean sprout after all.

"Serving the lion and tiger?" Gao De asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you can't afford to buy meat due to lack of funds, will you feed them directly?"

"What is this...... Wang Kunlun frowned and actually recalled seriously, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "I don't remember it, at least not yet." ”

After speaking, he looked at Gaode, and Gaode also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a while, and at the same time showed a tacit smile of "I seem to understand what you mean".

Although Gaode didn't understand anything......

Wang Kunlun didn't mention the gray elves again, and told Gao De about the history of the dark elves.

The Dark Elves came from the Bato Continent to the west of the Aurora Continent, and that was tens of thousands of years ago. Legend has it that the ice ocean north of the Bato continent was originally land, and the dark elves lived in that place called Nagasus. Later, I don't know what bad things I did, I was cursed, and the land sank, and only a part of the dark elves escaped and scattered across the continents. The dark elves left behind mutated into sea creatures and grew long snake tails from their lower bodies, becoming monsters known to sailors as "Naga".

Gao De's stomach is full of boiling water, is there an eternal well in that place?

Just as the history of the dark elves coming to Aurora, Lao Hou is back.

"It's done, they're all in a hurry to throw the goods," the old Hou eyebrows danced, "Three golden dragons, there are more than a hundred, how many do you want for a hundred households?"

"Let's take it all," said Gaode, who was generous, mainly because it was too cheap.

If not, I'm afraid that these black-skinned bean sprouts will all be disposed of, but it's not that I pity these guys, and they will be more valuable in his hands after all.

The three of them discussed, finalized the details of arranging the venue and then pulling it directly from here, Lao Hou stayed to inspect the goods, and Gao De and Wang Kunlun returned to the elephant training center. There's still so much to arrange. Even if Gaode doesn't float, it will only be a short ten days.

A dilapidated steam truck with a Jinyiwei license plate squeezed out of the hustle and bustle of the street, and as soon as it drove onto the avenue, it was blocked by a slow-moving dilapidated truck.

"What's the matter, the broken car dares to stand in the way of labor and management!"

Wang Kunlun, who was driving, was in a state of road rage at all times, and he played the whistle vigorously when he was far away, and the speed of the car did not decrease at all.

The wagon's compartment was full of straw, and a small head popped out of the back of the truck, and it turned out to be brown-skinned gray bean sprouts. The gray bean sprouts let out a shrill cry, and one of them jumped down and stretched out his arms in a blocking position, as if the car had broken down and couldn't turn around.

Wang Kunlun didn't blink his eyelids and stepped on the accelerator...... The foot of the valve was even harder, and I actually wanted to hit it directly.

Gao De yelled: "Stop ——!"

The tires creaked and screamed, the steam car stopped, Gao De and Wang Kunlun's heads hit the windshield at the same time, and the petite figure also rolled over the hood, knocking into the windshield.

Gao De rubbed his forehead and got out of the car, and a gray bean sprout rolled down the hood, which he caught easily.

"Are you alright?

This is a slender and petite gray bean sprout, looking at the slightly bulging chest, it should be a mother's. With his eyes closed, his facial features are distorted, and he looks very painful. The hands and feet can still move, there should be no fractures, just flesh wounds.

One by one, the gray bean sprouts jumped out of the truck, squeaked and screamed, angrily denouncing the perpetrators.

"Daring! This is the new Lord of the Hundred Households!"

Wang Kunlun got out of the car and saw the origin of these gray bean sprouts. "Are you from the zoo, and you still don't kneel down to plead guilty after blocking the car of the hundred households!?"

Hey, this is Lao Hou's subordinate?

The gray bean sprouts all knelt on the ground, kowtowing like praying to heaven and earth.

"Don't knock, Lao Wang will bring some ointment. ”

Gao De handed the gray bean sprouts to her companion, and asked Wang Kunlun for the ointment and handed it to her. "It's very effective when applied to wounds. In the future, pay attention not to be reckless, people can't stop the car, at least you can't do it. ”

The gray bean sprouts had already opened their eyes, and their light blue eyes were full of fear, just nodding vigorously.

"Lao Wang, you too, driving is a person controlling the car, not the car controlling the person. ”

Gao De returned to the car and did not forget to reprimand Wang Kunlun: "And if the trouble can be avoided, avoid it, many disasters are caused by this kind of inadvertent trouble." ”

"Yes, yes! Lord Baihu is right!" Wang Kunlun confessed repeatedly, his face turned to an angle that Gao De couldn't see, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

The steam cart kicked away in dust, and his companions swarmed up, surrounded the injured gray bean sprouts, and chattered non-stop.

"Velvet, are you really okay?"

"Oh my God, I thought we were all going to be beheaded!"

"Is that really a hundred households? so young and handsome!"

"The Lord of the Hundred Households is too kind and considerate to the velvet, don't you fall in love with the velvet?"

"This is Granny Sun's ointment, right, I'll give you a whole tube?"

The gray bean sprouts called velvet held the ointment and looked at the steam car in the distance, and the expression on the beautiful little face was extremely complicated.
