Chapter 021: Buying Orchids in the West Market

Du Fu looked at Li Zaixing fixedly, with a smile on his face, but his expression was a little serious: "Brother Xian, although you are not as arrogant as those rangers in Luli, there is murder in your eyes, and it is shocking when you see it." ”

Li Zaixing was distracted, and subconsciously touched his nose. Du Fu doesn't know martial arts, he can see that his murderous aura is exposed, it seems that his cultivation is not at home, and people who are really deep in cultivation can't see murderous aura.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Li Zaixing stood up in disguise and looked around: "Brother Du, you just said that the heroes of Luli, could it be that there are other types of rangers?" ”

Du Fu saw Li Zaixing looking around, and hurriedly arched his hand to the middle-aged Hu Shang who was standing aside, Hu Shang understood, and hurriedly led the way in front, and greeted warmly: "Please come with me, I'll take my master to see the goods." ”

Li Zaixing was very uncomfortable with the word goods, and he was not used to the custom of treating slaves and maids as inappropriate. However, he also knows that this is the current situation of Datang, and it is not something that he can reverse alone, so he can only get used to it slowly. He followed Hu Shang through a door and came to the backyard, and after only one look, he was a little stunned.

The scene in front of me is even more amazing than the word goods.

The backyard is not too spacious, and a row of houses has been built around it. It also doesn't seem quite right to say that the houses have no exterior walls, just a row of fences, divided into a dozen compartments, about the same as a sheepfold. There were as many as seven or eight, as few as two or three people, men and women, black and white, in each compartment. Even though the spring is cold, these people are thinly clothed, huddled together, and their eyes are full of horror and uneasiness.

What surprised Li Zaixing the most was that there was a row of wooden frames in the middle of the courtyard, on which were hung iron chains, and there was a faint smell of blood on the dark brown iron chains. There was a figure hanging from a wooden frame in chains, with only two toes on the ground, and his long curly hair hung down, stained with blood, and the original color was no longer visible. He didn't move, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Is this a prison or a hell? Li Zaixing couldn't believe what he was seeing for a while. Compared to the bustling market outside, this place can only be compared to hell.

Du Fu took it for granted, and calmly followed Hu Shang forward. Hu Shang enthusiastically introduced to them: "Here are some cheap slaves and rough maids, although they look average, there is no problem at all in doing some rough work. If you take a fancy to anyone, I will send someone to take them to clean. These pig-like things are useless to wash ten times a day, so well, hahaha......"

Li Zaixing shivered and shook his head unintentionally. He looked at the person hanging on the wooden frame, and suddenly felt a little strange. This person is not small, he looks like a man, but his body shape is not the same as a man, even if the tattered cloth on his body hangs down, and he can't see the outline of his body, Li Zaixing can still feel that this doesn't seem to be a man.

What kind of woman would be tortured like this? Li Zaixing walked over curiously, looked through the rags, and saw a round hemisphere, although dirty, it still revealed a touch of **.

Sure enough, it's a woman!

Li Zaixing stood in front of the slave girl and looked up and down for a long time. The slave girl remained motionless, keeping her head down, as if she had lost her breath. Standing closer, Li Zaixing could finally distinguish the color of her hair, not the usual black, nor the common chestnut, but actually blonde.

This slave girl not only has blonde hair, but also has a tall figure, Li Zaixing estimates that she is about five feet eight inches, which is equivalent to one meter and seventy-five in later generations, which is a little taller than Du Fu. She is very thin, skinny and skinny, but her bones are well-proportioned, especially her tiger mouth has obvious calluses, in Li Zaixing's eyes, this female slave is likely to have practiced martial arts.

"Yo, my lord, stay away from this brute." Hu Shang was startled when he saw Li Zaixing taking a closer look, and hurriedly rushed over, wiping the beads of sweat that did not exist on his forehead, pulling Li Zaixing aside, and said in a loud voice: "Master, this beast is fierce, but don't hurt you." ”

"She's fierce?"

"But no, I sold it three times, and it was returned in less than two days. Won't do anything, and bites. Hu Shang shook his head in distress: "I have no choice but to hang her here to go wild, and find a chance to sell her cheaply." ”

Li Zaixing nodded, took two steps, and suddenly stood up, his shoulders moving slightly.

Hu Shang didn't notice Li Zaixing's small movements, and Du Fu and the others didn't pay attention either, but the female slave who had been hanging there and had not reacted suddenly trembled violently, and her muscles tensed. She raised her head reluctantly, her fierce gaze peeked through her dirty knotted hair, and she stared at Li Zaixing's neck. Li Zaixing slowly turned his head, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a silent smile, and then he took two steps and kept up with Hu Shang's pace.

Under Hu Shang's enthusiastic introduction, Li Zaixing quickly picked out a middle-aged woman who looked strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, rough skin, in short, she couldn't match the beauty, and the price was cheap, Hu Shang only charged him 2,000 yuan, which was not worth a donkey.

Hu Shang asked the middle-aged female slave to be cleaned, and then pointed to the female slave hanging in the middle of the courtyard: "How much is that?" ”

Hu Shang looked at Li Zaixing and hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to buy that beast?" She's dangerous, in case ......"

"Someone's life has nothing to do with you." Li Zaixing clenched his fists and grinned: "I also like to beat people, and I like these wild beasts the most." ”

Hu Shang looked at his fist, shuddered involuntarily, and hurriedly said, "If you want it, I will only charge you eight hundred yuan, how about it?" This is my money, this beast can't do anything, but it's very good at eating. ”

"Okay, deal." Li Zaixing agreed.

"Master, this beast can be fierce, if something happens......"

"You can rest assured, I will never trouble you." Li Zaixing patted Hu Shang on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I regret it." ”

Hu Shang smiled, and while asking people to take the slave girl down and send her to be cleaned, he warmly invited Li Zaixing to the front yard to drink. Drinking wine, Li Zaixing glanced at Lu Hu: "Ah Hu, give money." ”

Lu Hu shook his head: "Let's wait." ”

Li Zaixing was puzzled, Lu Hu glanced at Hu Shang, and said lightly: "That female slave has been hung for too long, I don't know if she can walk." If it's a cripple, what do we buy it back for? ”

Li Zaixing stopped talking and nodded. Hu Shang's face was a little ugly, he squeaked for a moment, got up and hurried to the backyard. As soon as he left, Lu Hu came to Li Zaixing's side and whispered, "Lord, why did you buy this slave girl?" We have the money to buy a young and beautiful one. ”

"This ...... It's not ugly. ”

"Not ugly?" Lu Hu looked at Li Zaixing in surprise: "If you are thin and tall, and you are as thick as a man, how can you be ugly?" ”

Li Zaixing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Lu Hu's reason. The Tang people regard obesity as beauty, and this female slave is thin to a handful of bones, of course, she is extremely ugly. It's easy to be thin, and you may be able to raise it by eating something good, but you can't solve it if you're tall. No matter how high the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is, they can't be higher than men, this female slave is tall and big, half a head taller than ordinary men, and it is easy to give people a sense of coercion. Datang men like petite ones, and this kind of Yanma is certainly not the popular one.

Combining these two factors, even if this slave girl's face is good-looking, she will inevitably be classified as ugly. What's more, she is still very savage, but she can't do anything, and Lu Hu can't think of any use for buying this kind of female slave back.

But Li Zaixing had other ideas. He could see that this female slave had practiced martial arts, and her martial arts were not low. His small movements may not be visible in the eyes of ordinary people, but the slave girl could feel the killing intent in his heart with her head down, and immediately reacted violently, which shows that her martial arts are not weak, and she is likely to have very rich combat experience. Such a person may not be able to do much housework, but he is a good candidate to be a guard.

As for wildness, Li Zaixing believes that he can tame her, in case he really can't get rid of her wildness, it's a big deal to release her. Eight hundred dollars, that's just one or two good clothes.

"I just like this one."

Seeing Li Zaixing's insistence, Lu Hu sighed and didn't say anything more. After a while, Hu Shang walked out with the middle-aged female slave, and there were two Jian slaves behind him, holding the fierce female slave who had just finished washing and changed into a clean and coarse cloth clothes. Lu Hu was right, she had been hanging for too long, although she was not crippled, she couldn't walk by herself, and she could only lean on the bodies of the two Jian slaves.

Lu Hu frowned: "Can you walk?" ”

"Yes!" The slave girl's hoarse voice was as ugly as a knife file, and she pushed the two slaves away and took two steps forward. Li Zaixing stared into her eyes without blinking. Her eyes were light gray, with a hint of ferocity, with a hint of wildness. These two steps were very hard, her face was a little distorted, but her eyes were still stable and undisturbed. She glanced at Li Zaixing, and slowly turned around, like a female beast, staring at the middle-aged Hu Shang.

"I don't think so." Lu Hu shook his head and turned to look at the Hu Shang: "We don't want it." ”

Hu Shang suddenly became anxious, turned to look at Li Zaixing, and was about to speak, Li Zaixing smiled: "No, we want it." Still, I feel like she has something to say to you. ”

Hu Shang's eyes rolled, and the mouth hidden in the beard seemed to smack, and he turned to look at the slave girl. The slave girl took two steps forward, grabbed Hu Shang's big lapel, and roared twice. Hu Shang argued loudly, while trying to break the slave's hand, but he blushed and couldn't break free. The two Jian slaves were just about to pounce, but they were glanced at by Li Zaixing, and they were so frightened that they stood aside and didn't dare to move.

The two yelled at each other loudly, Hu Shang admitted defeat, agreed repeatedly, and yelled a few words angrily. A slave turned away, and after a short time, brought back a baggage, a spear, and two scimitars.

As soon as he saw the burden, Li Zaixing's eyes lit up. The burden is bulging, and I can't see anything, but the spear and scimitar in Jian Nu's hand are very eye-catching, especially the spear, the smooth body, the blood-colored head, at first glance, it is a weapon in actual combat.

Li Zaixing knew that he had picked up the treasure...... Ask for a recommendation in the early morning!.
