Chapter 867: The Cross
"Hey, Brother Jia, your vision is good, I was negligent just now, there is such a stunner hidden here!" Li Cheng followed Zhao Jia's gaze and also saw the girl who was imprisoned alone, which made him can't help but be surprised.
Yang Shiliang also discovered Zhao Jia's abnormality at this time, and couldn't help but lean over curiously and said, "Brother Jia, you can't really fall in love with this yellow-haired and green-eyed woman, right?" β
Hearing Li Cheng and Yang Shiliang's questions, Zhao Jia only smiled slightly, and did not explain, but turned to Hu San next to him and said, "Hu San, how much is this woman?" β
"This ......" To Zhao Jia's surprise, Hu San hesitated when he heard his words, and then he spoke: "Don't hide this little brother, if you fancy other women, the villain will naturally not be able to ask for it, but this woman is a little special, if you want to buy it, I can tell you the inside story, and then you decide whether to buy it?" β
If it was an ordinary guest, Hu Sancai didn't bother to tell the other party anything, as long as he sold the goods, it would be none of his business. However, he has been a human trafficker for so many years, and he has long developed a pair of fiery eyes, although Zhao Jia and the three of them did not bring any servants with him, but just from their temperament, he can judge that the identities of these three teenagers are definitely not simple, so in order to avoid future troubles, he thinks it is better to tell the other party the truth honestly.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on with this woman?" Zhao Jia was even more interested when he heard this, he was very curious about this woman's strictness, so he planned to buy it and ask the other party, maybe he could get some useful information.
"Actually, there are some problems with the origin of this woman, yesterday I was on a boat to run errands, but on the way I met a ship besieged by pirates, and this boat has a strange shape. I had never seen it before, and the ship had been scuttled through by pirates and was about to sink, so I saw that the pirates were not strong at the time, so I attacked them from behind and killed many pirates. By the way, I also brought back the people on this ship, and in addition to this girl, there were some strong samurai on the ship, but looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were the escorts of this girl, and there were also a few young maids on the ship, but they all died at the hands of pirates, which is a pity. β
Hu San shook his head and sighed when he said this, as if he felt very sorry for the death of those maids. But then he smiled and said: "According to the rules of the sea, if I save them, they will be disposed of by me, and I am not a good person, so I naturally plan to sell them according to the previous rules, but what they said is very strange, I can't understand a word, but when I take them back to the port." The guards seemed to see something, and they rebelled on the docks. And desperately tried to get this girl out, but my people are not vegetarians, and I notified the soldiers patrolling the port, so those guards did not succeed, and finally had to escape, and they are still wanted in the city. β
"I see. I see, you're afraid that if I buy this woman, her fleeing guards will get me in trouble! Zhao Jia smiled and said, although Hu San told himself that he was not necessarily really afraid of his own losses, but in the end, the other party also had good intentions. This made him change his perception of Hu San a little.
"Little brother is really smart, this woman's identity is not simple, this can be seen from the samurai who escorted her, when they encountered pirates, they suffered a lot of losses, only more than ten people were left and everyone was injured, but even so, dozens of people under my command failed to leave them, if it weren't for the arrival of the navy later, maybe I might really be planted in their hands." When Hu San said at the end, he also said with some resentment on his face, a few of his men died yesterday, and many of them were injured, although they were all worthless natives, but they were also his subordinates, and he was distressed by so many deaths and injuries.
"It's okay, you can make a price!" Zhao Jia didn't care, he usually lived in the military port, if someone dared to break into it, it would definitely be looking for death, plus he was Wang Shizi, although he came to the south alone to study on the surface, but in fact, he knew that no matter where he went, there were countless people who were responsible for protecting him secretly, and he knew his father better than anyone else, so he didn't worry about safety at all.
"That's good!" Seeing that the other party was not worried about safety at all, Hu San was even more sure that the other party's origin was not small, and he finally quoted after thinking for a moment, "Since the little brother wants to buy it, then the price is one hundred yuan, I dare to guarantee that since she came here yesterday, absolutely no one has touched her finger, please rest assured, little brother." β
One hundred guan seems to be much more expensive than the girls Li Cheng bought, but don't forget, this girl can have so many guards and protection, and her identity is definitely not simple, and Hu San has damaged some people because of her, and these injuries must be counted on the girl's head, so he only asked Zhao Jia for one hundred, which is already a very good price.
Zhao Jia also understood the above, so after he heard Hu San's offer, he didn't even blink his eyes, and directly took out a 100-yuan bearer deposit slip from his arms, although paper money has been issued now, but the largest denomination of paper money is only 100 Wen, so when trading with a large amount like this, it is more convenient to use a deposit certificate.
After Hu San verified the deposit slip, he immediately smiled and personally opened the fence where the girl was held, and then called the other party out, but the girl didn't seem to understand his words, so Hu San said a few times, and the other party still sat there motionless.
"Hu San, you go out first, I'll talk to her!" At this moment, I saw Zhao Jia walk straight into the fence road, and then looked the girl in front of him up and down, only to see that the other party should be about the same age as himself, wearing a strange white dress, long hair hanging down on his chest like gold, and his facial features on his fair face were extremely exquisite, although he was used to weirdness in the aesthetics of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was not unacceptable, especially a pair of big blue eyes looked at Zhao Jia very indifferently, although she didn't say anything, But the look revealed in her eyes made people feel ashamed, but Zhao Jia was not an ordinary person, so this girl's gaze had no effect in her eyes at all.
I saw Zhao Jia look at the other party for a moment, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the other party's chest and spit out two words: "Jesus!" β
Hearing the word "Jesus", I saw that the girl with an indifferent expression was shocked, and then looked at Zhao Jia with some surprise, although the words were incomprehensible, and the other party's pronunciation was not very accurate, but she could be sure that what the other party said was the name of the Son of God, you must know that she had been far away from home for many miles, but now this black-haired and black-eyed young man was able to say the name of the Holy Son, could it be said that the light of God has shone on this land thousands of miles away?
"@#Β₯#%#Β₯%......" Thinking of the above, the girl immediately asked a series of questions eagerly, but unfortunately what disappointed her was that the other party, the young man, showed a puzzled expression when he heard her words, and it seemed that he couldn't understand her words at all.
Zhao Jia heard the other party say a lot of words that he didn't understand at all, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, in fact, the reason why he was interested in this girl was mainly because the other party had a cross hanging around his neck, which was engraved with a crucifixion, he had heard his father Zhao Yan mention it more than once before, and knew that this was a sign of Catholicism, but God only spread in the distant parts of Europe, so he was also very curious to see a Catholic here.
That Xiang Hu San saw that Zhao Jia only said something he didn't understand, and this woman of unknown origin showed an excited look, which made him wonder if the other party knew the origin of this woman, if this was the case, maybe he would sell it a little cheaply, but he didn't dare to increase the price at this time, after all, these three teenagers have extraordinary backgrounds, and they should be friends.
"Come with me!" Zhao Jia stepped forward and said to the girl, and at the same time tried to express her meaning with gestures.
The girl on the other side was very smart, and quickly understood what Zhao Jia meant, only to see that after she hesitated for a moment, she finally nodded vigorously, she also understood that she had fallen into the hands of a slave trader, and the young man in front of her should be the one who wanted to buy herself, although she was treated as a slave trade made her feel very ashamed, but in the current situation, she could only stay here as a slave and wait for the buyer, rather than selling to other people who only coveted their beauty, the young man in front of her knew his own beliefs, maybe he would treat himself well, Although this idea may be a little naΓ―ve, it is already the best choice for her at the moment.
Seeing that the girl agreed, Zhao Jia also showed a smile to her at the moment, and then motioned for her to follow behind her, and the two of them went out of the fence one after the other, Li Cheng and Yang Shiliang outside were also very curious about Zhao Jia's actions just now, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Jia, what did you say to this woman just now, the other party was willing to come out with you?" β
"I'll tell you when I get back!" Catholic things can't be explained in one or two sentences, so Zhao Jia smiled at Li Cheng and the two, what he needs most now is an interpreter, who can communicate with this girl, if the other party is really from distant Europe, then he can find out some information about Europe from the other party, and when he grows up in the future, maybe he can lead the fleet to Europe.
