The ditch used to have a single-plank bridge almost every twenty paces, but after the village became a black market, most of them have been removed, leaving only a wooden bridge in the middle, made of two huge logs, paved with planks, and the bridge deck is still spacious enough for two people to pass side by side.

There is an arched opening under the high wall on the opposite side of the bridge, which is also the only entrance to the interior, and the gate in the entrance is made of thick iron sticking out of the wall in all directions, which is impregnable, so the entrance is not guarded.

"You guys wait here for a moment." Pi Yang turned around and said a word to the black beauty and the little girl, then stepped on the wooden bridge, and dialed the bell in front of the door with a familiar car, and a man with a big waist suddenly flashed out of the fence, and a fierce light shot out of the tiger's eyes, looked at him coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the matter with the guest?" ”

"Asking for goods." Pi Yang replied bluntly. Hearing this, the big man didn't open the gate immediately, swept the two people opposite, and frowned: "Why did the guest bring the woman here again?" ”

The man obviously knows Pi Yang, as the gatekeeper of the black market, his eyesight is needless to say, who has been here, who has eyes, who is disguised, all the doors are very clear, the first time he saw a guest here, it was more than two months ago, he came to sell horses, and he also had a beautiful girl by his side, and the second time he saw him, it was only a few days ago, he came to buy sulfur. Now that he saw that he was leading two strange women here, he wanted to interrogate him first.

"Oh, that's the concubine I just married," Pi Yang first pointed at the black beauty, and then pointed to the little girl: "Next to it is the dowry girl." ”

The ditch was no more than three feet wide, and when he said this, he deliberately raised his voice, which happened to fall into the ears of the second girl, but the little girl began to panic as soon as she entered the village, but she didn't care about arguing with him. The black beauty has already seen that this is not simple, and after listening to the words of the disciple, although she was angry in her heart, she also knew that now was not the time to get angry, so she had to salute the big man and smile slightly.

The big man nodded expressionlessly in return, and looked at Pi Yang with inquiring eyes: "What do you want to buy when you bring your daughters here?" Gold and silver jewelry, fresh clothes and new clothes, we don't have them here. ”

Pi Yang grinned: "There are more people in the family to import, and there are not enough people in the house, so I want to come here to buy a few slaves, and I will also bring the side room by the way, so that she can pick it tightly with her eyes." ”

This reason is reasonable, and the big man walked away silently, but after a while, with the sound of iron chains twisting, the iron fence retracted into the wall in all directions.

Yang Jingxuan took the little girl to walk behind Pi Yang, she was very curious, and she was about to look in, but she was blocked by a thin old man who suddenly appeared, and the old man was also expressionless, but made a gesture with one hand: "Please come with me." ”

"Lady, please." Pi Yang turned his head and winked at the black beauty, with a smile on his face, but his voice was extremely serious. Yang Jingxuan's eyes shot out of history, and she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile: "Okay." ”

Yang Yao saw that Miss was about to follow in, so she hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes, and begged in a voice like a mosquito: "Miss, this place looks so strange, let's not go in, right?" ”

It's just that I want to go in because I look strange, otherwise how can I know what the hell that guy is doing? Yang Jingxuan took Yao'er's little hand and comforted softly: "Don't panic, just follow me, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den inside, I can protect you." ”

Yang Yao raised her head timidly, and when she saw the young lady's firm and confident expression, the fear in her heart instantly disappeared.

Entering the high wall, I saw that the gap between the gaps of a whole row of wooden houses along the ditch was sealed with wooden planks, and was connected, forming a narrow alley between the new high wall. The old man led the three of them to the end of the narrow alley, turned the corner into another alley, and after a few steps it became wider.

Most of the wooden houses inside have remained as they are, except that the wall panels and beams are somewhat rotten, probably because of human population, so they have not collapsed, and the roof tiles have been renovated. Along the way, Yang Jingxuan found that the doors of each room were locked, and some of them were guarded in front of them, as if there were important things stored in the room.

The further you walked in, the more people came, and many doors were open. The buyers who see the goods, the sellers who lead the way, the little guys who carry the water, and the thugs who patrol are all passing through. When I passed by a few doors, I heard a woman crying inside, and the cry was mixed with the sound of bargaining.

This is where the people live, and it is clearly an illegal trading place. The cries of those women were only shocking to hear Yang Jingxuan, she clenched her fists, her eyes were blood-red, but she bowed her head and was silent, secretly vowing to raze this place.

She took a deep breath, calmed down her fluctuating mood, raised her eyes to look at the disciple in front of her, and saw that he didn't squint, just followed the old man with his head bored, and there was no curiosity about what he saw and heard along the way, obviously he had known it for a long time.

The four of them turned around, and finally came to a small courtyard, stepped into the courtyard, the old man walked to a small room and knocked on the wooden door, and a man's lazy voice came from the room: "What's the matter?" ”

"The owner, there are guests to buy slaves." The old man said respectfully.

There was no sound in the room, but after a while, there was a sound of snoring inside, and the old man had to knock on the door again: "The owner? Landlord? ”

The proprietor was disturbed to sleep, and suddenly became angry, and shouted angrily: "If the guest buys a slave, you will sell it, and this little thing will also disturb Lao Tzu?!! ”

The old man shrunk his neck in fright by the roar, and immediately said cautiously: "The guest is going to buy a slave, you see..."

The room roared angrily, and after a while, the wooden door was slammed open, and a disheveled man stepped out of the door, with a strong figure, about seven feet high, his hair in a messy bun, a silkworm eyebrow obliquely up to the temples, his eyes cloudy but shiny, his face was cross-faced, his cheekbones were terrifying, a short shirt was casually draped over his body, his chest was open, his trousers had just been raised, and his belt was tied in a bit of "style". Yang Yao had never seen this formation, and hurriedly hid behind the young lady and did not dare to show her head.

The proprietor rubbed his eyes and swept the three of them: "Are you going to buy Fannu?" The corners of Pi Yang's mouth twitched, and he nodded slightly. Seeing that he was so calm, the proprietor put away his contempt and looked at the old man with inquiring eyes.

The old man knew that the proprietor was asking the guest what was going on, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "I don't know what the specific origin is, the first time I came two years ago, I came to sell horses." ”

The owner frowned: "Selling horses? ”

"Yes, and it's a military horse."

The proprietor nodded, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the guest with more vigilance in his eyes: "The guest can afford to buy even a slave, why do you want to sell the horses?" ”

"Didn't the old man tell you it was a military horse?" Pi Yang drooped his eyelids and played with his fingers, and said with a faint smile: "A few months ago, I beat a few passing van soldiers outside the city, robbed them of their two horses, and couldn't ride them by myself, so I came to you to sell them." ”
