Chapter 68: Getting the Treasure
"Then I don't know if the old gentleman has any good way to hide the aura on my body. Mu Yunyi thought that if others couldn't detect that his aura was relatively pure, then he wouldn't be able to see that he was an ice spirit root, then he wouldn't be in danger, and since this old gentleman was kind enough to remind himself, I don't know if this old gentleman has any treasures that can help him, just looking at the broken copper and iron sold in front of the old gentleman, Mu Yunyi had to comfort himself in his heart, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor.
"The little girl is also a wise man, and I have one such treasure here. As he spoke, the old man casually picked up a rusty bracelet from the stall in front of him, and said, "I'll give it to you." Saying that, the old man threw the rusty bracelet in his hand, lowered his head and continued to drink the wine in the gourd in his hand, and no longer bothered with Mu Yunyi.
Mu Yunyi took the bracelet thrown by the old man, and the rusty bracelet was not as rough as it looked in his hand.
"Thank you. Mu Yunyi looked at the bracelet in his hand, although he didn't know if this bracelet was really useful, but since the old man gave it to him, it was not too much to say thank you.
Leaving the old man's stall, Mu Yunyi casually threw the bracelet into the space ring on his finger, and then took Mo Sang to continue wandering around the ghost market.
"Come on, come on, those who have money have a money field, and those who don't have money have a lively picture. The gongs and drums sounded, Mu Yunyi stopped, and when he looked up, he saw a swarthy young man standing on a black and dirty platform holding a gong and drum and shouting without listening, and several large iron black cages were locked behind the man.
Mu Yunyi looked up, and there were people locked in those black iron cages, people in ragged and dirty clothes.
With the sound of the gong of the man on the stage, soon many people gathered under the stage to visit the ghost market, looking at the stage curiously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the slave trade in this ghost market has begun, as before, but all slaves sold through this ghost market have a death contract, and if you buy them back, if you are not killed or tortured to death, you can do it. Without further ado, the slave trade began now. As soon as the swarthy man on the stage struck the gong and drum, a strong man stepped forward and rudely opened an iron cage and pulled out an iron chain from it.
Mu Yunyi looked at the iron chain that the strong man was pulling casually and directly connected to the neck of a slave in the iron cage, and saw that the strong man pulled the slave out as if he were pulling a beast.
This is a young man, although the clothes he wears are tattered, but he can't hide his delicate and thin appearance.
"This slave costs thirty taels, the price is higher, and he looks thinner, but it is just right for such a good-looking male slave to be a male pet, which old lady wants?" the swarthy man who struck the gong glanced at the male slave and said loudly.
"I want it. As soon as the swarthy man's words fell, someone in the audience immediately raised their hands.
"Okay, this master, please go over there, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. "As soon as the gongs and drums struck, a deal was set.
Mu Yunyi looked at the slave man who was bought and sold like a commodity, his eyes were lifeless from beginning to end, and he didn't seem to care at all that it was he who was being bought and sold.
Then Mu Yunyi saw young and strong men, young girls, young children, old men, and pregnant women being pulled out of the iron cage like animals, and then sold for prices ranging from a few taels to dozens of taels.
"The slave below is twenty taels of silver, don't look at the price higher, this is the fresh goods we have recently received, and they look good. The swarthy man said as he lifted the head of the girl with the chain beside him, the girl was thin, almost to the point of being skinny, but her emblematic face was faintly visible.
Mu Yunchai Mu Yunyi looked at the little girl who was pinched by the swarthy man on the stage, although she was a little thinner, Mu Yunyi still recognized that this was the cousin of the original owner, the child of Mu Zehai's room in the seventh room of the Mu family.
This Mu Yunchai is only one year older than Mu Yunyi, although the grandchildren of Mu Zehai's room are not as favored as the grandchildren of other rooms, but they are also doing well. This Mu Yunchai's biological mother Liu Chun is the daughter of Xiucai, and she has also read some books since she was a child, so this Liu Chun has also carefully taught Mu Yunchai in poetry books since she was a child, so this Mu Yunchai has some bookish atmosphere at a young age.
It's just that Mu Yunchai is now, Mu Yunyi looked up, skinny, covered with dirty clothes, a pair of eyes may have been a little swollen after crying for a long time, there is no look, dead and silent, and the whole person looks like a walking corpse.
"Twenty taels, I bought it. Mu Yunyi raised his hand and said, originally he didn't have a good impression of Mu Yunyi, the person in the seventh room of the Mu family, when he was in the seventh room of the Mu family in the past, although this Mu Yunchai was not like Mu Yunshan and these people who practiced their three brothers and sisters, but they were also full of contempt.
Now that this Mu Yunchai is in trouble, it is already good that she does not fall into the well, let alone save her from fire and water.
But Mu Yunyi thought about how young this Mu Yunchai was, and he had never done anything excessive to himself before, since he met him today, he would help if he could, and it was only twenty taels of silver, and he spent more than 30,000 taels because he bought a spirit gathering grass at the auction, but there was still one or two thousand taels in his body, and twenty taels was nothing.
"Well, this slave was bought by this young man. The swarthy man immediately smiled when he saw Mu Yunyi raise his hand, originally twenty taels for such a small slave in this ghost market was too expensive, but when he first collected it, he spent ten taels of silver, and he also had to earn interest, so he marked the price of twenty taels first, if no one wants to lower the price again, now someone is willing to pay twenty taels of silver to buy, this is naturally a happy thing.
Mu Yunyi bought Mu Yunchai, handed over twenty taels of silver to the traffickers in the ghost market, and took Mu Yunchai's deed of sale, Mu Yunyi looked at the name on the deed of sale, sure enough, it was Mu Yunchai, but what Mu Yunyi didn't expect was that the person who sold Mu Yunchai was not Mu Yunchai's father Mu Zehai and mother Liu Chun, nor Mu Yunchai's grandmother Sun Huifen and grandfather Mu Degong, but a woman named Fang Hui.
bought Mu Yunchai, Mu Yunyi saw that he had almost finished shopping in the ghost market, so he had no idea of continuing to shop, so he left the ghost market directly with Mo Sang and Mu Yunchai.
At this moment, the moon was already rising, and Mu Yunyi went directly back to the small courtyard of the inn.
In the quiet courtyard, Mu Yunyi sat at the head of the living room, looked at Mu Yunchai, who still looked sluggish, and shouted lightly: "Cousin." ”
It seems that this "cousin" made Mu Yunchai think of something, her body suddenly trembled, and then she looked up at Mu Yunyi in fear, but after seeing Mu Yunyi, her originally frightened face instantly quieted down.
"You······ Yes?" the voice was hoarse, as subtle as a long-ailing patient.
"I haven't seen me for a few months, and my cousin doesn't recognize me anymore. Mu Yunyi looked at Mu Yunchai and smiled, "I'm Mu Yunyi." ”
"Mu Yunyi!" Xu was too surprised, Mu Yunchai unconsciously raised his voice, but because his voice was already hoarse, this "Mu Yunyi" sounded strange and ugly.
"Well," Mu Yunyi nodded lightly, "It's just that I didn't think I wouldn't see you for a few months, how did my cousin become like this now?"
"I ······" As if asked by Mu Yunyi about the sore spots, Mu Yunchai's face immediately became sad, and the tears on his face fell down.
"It's all Daddy," Mu Yunchai cried whining, but as if he had finally found an outlet for a long time, he kept talking about what happened to him during this period of time.
Mu Yunyi didn't like Mu Yunchai to be noisy, she listened to Mu Yunchai's catharsis on the left and right very quietly, and probably knew what happened to Mu Yunchai recently.
After Mu Yunchai's biological mother Liu Chun was demoted by Mu Zehai from his wife to a concubine, Mu Yunchai's life in the seventh room of the Mu family was not easy, Mu Zehai later married a woman named Fang Hui as his wife, this Fang Hui is also a powerful one, originally this Mu Zehai thought of Liu Chun's fatherly relationship with Liu Chun for many years and took more care of Liu Chun's mother and daughter, but in less than half a month, this Mu Zehai was completely captured by this Fang Hui, and the other party obeyed Hui's words, and began to be indifferent to Liu Chun's mother and daughter.
And this Liu Chun's mother-in-law, Sun Huifen, that is, Mu Yunchai's grandmother, never liked this Liu Chun at this time, seeing that her son was not protecting this Liu Chun's mother and daughter, she began to change the law to practice this Liu Chun's mother and daughter.
Mu Yunchai also has a thirteen-year-old sister named Mu Yunzhen on her head, and she was originally married in two years, but this Sun directly married Mu Yunzhen to a wealthy businessman on the grounds that Mu Yunzhen had reached the age of marriage.
And this Sun is also a good person, just after pushing Mu Yunzhen into the fire pit, he immediately hit the idea on Mu Yunchai's body, this Mu Yunchai is also a smart person, knowing that the Sun family will not let go of himself, he prepared to escape in advance, which Mu Yunchai was caught by his father Mu Zehai before he ran out of the house.
This Mu Zehai is also a fool, after Mu Yunchai was arrested, Sun was angry that Mu Yunchai dared to run away, so he asked Mu Zehai to beat Mu Yunchai severely, Mu Zehai did so, and beat Mu Yunchai directly so that he couldn't get out of bed for three days, and in these three days, Fang Hui pleaded with Sun to simply sell Mu Yunchai, saving trouble in the future. After listening to Fang Hui's words, Sun thought that Mu Yunchai was not easy to handle, so it was better to sell it early, so Fang Hui came forward to sell Mu Yunchai at a price of ten taels, and the sale was still a death deed.
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, Mu Yunyi looked at Mu Yunchai who was crying and had lost any sound, thinking about the time when he had just crossed over, if it wasn't for the clan, I am afraid that the fate of himself, his brother and sister would be the same as this Mu Yunchai.
