Chapter 132: Trafficking

Chengguan City Market

In the street market, there are many people, especially on the side of buying and selling people, many big families are buying and selling people, some are to replenish the manpower, some are to sell the surplus population, some fathers sell their daughters, mothers sell their sons, some villagers sell their fellow villagers, and more are some traffickers selling captured strong men or adult women......

The eyeliner arranged by He Lun was also interspersed with it, and all the transactions were monitored, especially the sale of children, and they were even more relieved, but all the surveillance personnel were only not interested in the children sold by the wild man in a corner, and they would immediately cover their noses when they even looked at them, because the stench on these two people was so strong that the dogs would howl and flee when they passed by......

In He Lun's eyes, if this child is Princess Mingyue, then they are willing to gouge out their eyes blind, in their opinion, even if Her Royal Highness the princess is tortured, the dress will not be too bad, even if it is worn in tatters, it should be clean, where can it be so foul and disgusting?

So, they all stayed away from the wild man and the stinky child, and spent their precious time on more suspicious characters or the trade itself......

in the corner

Yang Nan sat on the ground hostilely, the good position had long been occupied by various other dealers, and he didn't want to have a conflict with others immediately when he came here, so he had to stay in such a remote corner, and for a whole morning, no matter how loudly he shouted, no one looked at the child in the rattan basket, and even many people were smoked away by the stench as soon as they approached the rattan basket......

Yang Nandi looked at this little girl named Xiaocao and thought: Why are you so difficult to sell?

Yang Nandi began to be anxious in his heart, and kept lowering the price of the sale, and selling it louder, but no one cared......

Yang Nandi regretted agreeing to this little girl to sell her to a good family, but you have to be a man with credibility, otherwise Yang Nandi really doesn't want to continue to waste time doing this business......

The bright moon in the rattan basket, or the grass in this state now, is still empty and unfocused, and there is a broken wooden board in front of the rattan basket, on which is marked the price: ten pieces of corn.

Just as Yang Nandi was waiting for someone to come over and bargain with a sad face, there was really an old man and five or six young people walking slowly over here.

"How can this kid be sold?"

"Boss, didn't you see the words written on it, ten pieces of corn!"

"Oh! Turns out you can write! Yes, yes, the old man is old, and he can't see your strokes clearly, I don't want you to be a savage and have this ability, hehehe! ”

Yang Nandi's face suddenly darkened, but fortunately, his face was full of hair and beard, covering his entire face, so no one could see his expression clearly......

The old man didn't care about Yang Nandi's displeasure at all, but continued to observe the children in the rattan basket, because of Mingyue's filth, he couldn't tell the difference between boys and girls.

"Is this a boy or a girl?"

"Girls, of course?! If it's fake! ”

The old man nodded, and began to judge again.

The old man carefully looked at every detail of Mingyue's body, and when he saw the texture of the intact fabric on the child's clothes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked carefully at the child's face, although it was swollen, but the eyes were ......

The young man next to the old man covered his nose tightly, stepped forward and asked, "Old housekeeper, so many children are selling, why is your old man interested in this?" “

"What do you little monkey know? Don't you see that the person who sold her is a wild man? How do savages know how to take care of people? How could such a child not smell dirty and unpleasant? Just go back and wash up."

Yang Nandi was opened by the old man to a savage, and closed the mouth of a savage said that the nameless fire, but this person was a person who had waited for so long before he came to inquire and was rarely willing to buy, so he had to desperately suppress his anger and continue to let the old man look at it, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: Hmph, stinky old man, don't let me meet you alone outside the city......

The old man glanced at Yang Nandi, who was suddenly grinning, snorted disdainfully, and then asked, "How do you sell this child?" ”

"A hundred loaves!"

The old man kicked the sign and teased, "Isn't it ten?" ”

Yang Nandi immediately put away the sign, looking like he didn't know anything......

The old man was amused by Yang Nandi's scoundrel, and said with a smile: "Young man, be honest!" ”

"Hmph, I originally wrote a hundred cakes, but I couldn't write that hundred words, so I had to use ten instead!"

The old man didn't pay attention to Yang Nandi, but said to the young man just now: "Xu Gang, you give him 20 cakes, and we will take them away!" ”

"Old butler, if you think about it, 20 pieces of bread, we can buy more than ten women!"

The old man glared at the young man named Xu Gang.

Xu Gang had no choice but to continue to cover his nose, and asked the person next to him to take out 20 pieces of cake from the package and hand them to Yang Nandi.

Yang Nandi didn't expect to be able to catch ten more cakes, and he was really overjoyed.

Yang Nandi didn't bargain anymore, and after happily taking the cake, he left Mingyue and left by himself.

As he walked, Yang Nandi suddenly stopped, glanced back at the little girl in the rattan basket, and shouted with a cracked mouth: "Xiaocao, I'm leaving, take care!" ”

After the old man heard Yang Nandi shouting that the little girl in the rattan basket was called Xiaocao, his eyebrows raised slightly......

As it was still early, the old man walked around the market with five or six retinues and newly purchased grass, continuing to select the right population and some daily goods that needed to be replenished.

He Lun's subordinates also noticed the foul-smelling child that the old man had purchased, and only felt that this old man must be stupid, and he would ask for such goods, with a look of disdain.

The people in the market, except for the vendors who were selling goods and people, would cover their noses whenever they approached the old man's line.

The people around the old man were also far away from the person named Xiaocao, except for Xu Gang, who was punished for carrying the basket......

After the old man finally bought all the goods he needed, and after buying a dozen strong men and five or six women in a row, the group began to walk towards the south gate of Chengguan City.

Yang Nandi took twenty pieces of corn cakes, and exchanged a lot of good things in the city, he was very shrewd, and when he came to the city, he found that the items that people traded with each other were bartered, and grain was the best currency, especially the grain that could be preserved for a long time, and the twenty pieces of bread that Yang Nandi got by selling Mingyue was definitely a considerable amount of money!

Yang Nandi used one of the cakes to change into a good clothes, and trimmed his hair, a new feeling suddenly made Yang Nandi feel better!

Yang Nandi then exchanged all the bits and pieces of looted things for food and use, including the bronze medal of the leading brother......

Yang Nandi used a few more of the cakes, and after comfortably going to some brothels built of broken thatch in the market to relax, he casually threw a few cakes to the brothel owner, preparing to spend a night in this dilapidated brothel and enjoy it.

midday

The old man and his party had returned to the Xu family's camp at the south gate.

Xu Zhong was also patrolling his camp, and when he saw his old housekeeper coming back, he immediately went to greet him.

"Uncle Rong, you're back." Xu Zhong saluted Xu Rong with the etiquette of juniors to elders.

Xu Rong couldn't hide the smile on his face when he saw Xu Zhong's courtesy to him, and said happily: "Er, look, I have an unexpected gain today."
