Chapter 1: The Slave Auction
"Smack~"
The sound of a long whip whipping sounded, followed by a low, muffled grunt.
High on the stand, the girl was forced to lie on the ground, her limbs wearing heavy shackles, and her knees on the ground looked like a dog trampled on the ground.
She was dressed in a thin white robe, her smooth and white calves and arms were exposed, and because of the whip just now, the white clothes were broken, the skin was open, and the blood was soaked through the clothes.
She seemed to want to stand up, but the black-robed auctioneer in front of her mercilessly stepped on the shackled chains between her hands, and saw that on her shackled left hand, Hao Ran was branded with a crescent moon mark.
As we all know, in the Xuanling Continent, the crescent moon mark is a slave mark that cannot be removed for a lifetime.
The auctioneer held the whip rolled together in one hand and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to remain on her knees to show her true face to the crowd.
The girl looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, ice muscles and jade bones, and a pair of eyes that are seductive, as if soaked in blood, are rare red pupils.
In those eyes, there was deep resentment and unwillingness.
The beauty, the blood, the red eyes, the abused beauty on her body, all of them stabbed and stirred people's nerves.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the Gu King that our auction house has carefully raised for eight years, special note, pure original goods, full of wildness."
"In order to provide customers with a better experience, we have never developed it. Whether it's a buy-back training for Deadpool or a pet, she'll meet your 'needs'. ”
"Or both, it's a different taste."
"The most important thing is that as this year's Gu King, her physical strength is very good, in other words, she is playable, if she can keep it at home, she doesn't have to worry about playing it badly casually, it can add a lot of fun."
The black-robed auctioneer said, with a proper smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Gu King? You actually took out the Gu King and sold it as a thing? ”
The black-robed auctioneer smiled faintly, "The disobedient Gu King is a thing in our Dongya Auction House, and it ......."
While speaking, the auctioneer grabbed the girl's hair, pulled her head rudely, pointed to the little face that had already glimpsed eight points of beauty before it grew up, and smiled: "Even as a pet, she is quite qualified, isn't she?" ”
“……”
"The starting price, 100,000 gold spirit coins, each increase must not be less than 1,000, everyone, if you are interested, you can start raising your cards now." The auctioneer shouted.
After a brief silence, someone was the first to hold up the sign, and then the rest were not far behind.
"I'll give out one hundred and five thousand gold spirit coins."
"One hundred thousand and six thousand."
"A thousand is embarrassing to add? I'll give 110,000. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
“……”
The auction was in full swing at the booth, and the audience was enthusiastic, and there were whispers in the VIP booth on the second floor of the auction house.
"Brother Jiang, how can I look at that kid... He looks a little like you. ”
"Hmm." The man sitting on the sofa in the private room was silent for a while before answering, although there was no special expression on his face, but there was a bit of complexity in his eyes.
"If I hadn't met Xiao Zhixian's nephew just a few days ago, I'm afraid I would have thought that this was the same person."
Listening to his friend's words, the man did not answer, his eyes were like torches, and his gaze was firmly locked on the girl in the booth.
As if sensing their gaze, the girl who was trampled under her feet turned her head with difficulty, and the man even felt that her gaze passed through the spiritual power shield outside the cubicle and then fell on him.
As if he had been stabbed, the man quickly withdrew his gaze.
Many years ago, the child sat in the vast snowfield in a daze, watching him leave, and the picture suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
He turned his head a little panicked, "It's just a little similar to the little girl's appearance...... The world is so big, there are always one or two people who are similar. ”
"Hmm... Brother Jiang is right, it's my broken mouth, how can a gadget enslaved by everyone be compared to Xiao Zhixian's nephew. The person who spoke did not notice the man's gaffe and answered very naturally.
The conversation quickly moved on to other places, but the slave girl on the stage still had her eyes on her back.
It didn't take long for the man to stand up, "Brother Xian, Brother Wei suddenly remembered that there was something else, let's go first, let's see you another day." ”
At the booth, the girl's head turned back, her eyes lowering to hide the despair and anger in her eyes.
Chapter 1: The Runaway House Slave
A year later, the Golden Fire City.
coincides with the triennial Dragon Feather Election, and countless talents gather here.
The city is small, there are many people, and there are always one or two reckless people who accidentally step on the heels of others. On the street, a burly man carried a small man's collar and scolded in a rough voice.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The little man begged for mercy, his voice weak.
The big man was stunned for a moment, this kid was wearing a tattered wide gray robe, and his face was dirty and black, he thought he was a beggar in the market, but he didn't expect that it was a young girl who listened to the voice.
"Be careful next time." The big man glared angrily and put the man down.
The little girl apologized again and again, turned around and found an extra money bag in her hand, and then quickly got into the crowd.
When he reappeared, the grizzled beggar was gone, replaced by a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with a washed face that looked very beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, and some childish baby fat on her cheeks.
Her eyes are large, but her pupils are a little special, and they look like ordinary people, but if you look closely, you can see that the pupils are not pure black or brown, but dark red that is not noticeable, and she is a person with different pupils.
The left hand seemed to be injured, and from the wrist to the five fingers, a circle of white satin was tightly wrapped.
The girl lowered her head and found the nearest teahouse and walked in.
Xiao Er came over attentively, "Guest officer, drink tea or eat?" ”
"Eat."
Still answering in a soft voice, she looked left and right, as if she was afraid of being discovered by someone.
At this time, in the restaurant opposite the teahouse, the window of the compartment on the second floor was wide open, and someone was looking through the beaded curtain.
"Brother Murong, I've been staring at it for a long time, what's the matter? Is this fancy? ”
In the compartment, there were three or two men sitting, looking at the dress, they were all dressed as the children of the family, at this moment, the man called Brother Murong was holding a fan and shaking it gently, he nodded: "I know that I am Brother Mo Ruoxian." ”
"Haha, of course, none of us know who yet, but Brother Murong, I still have to remind you, even if it is on weekdays, it is the critical moment of the Dragon Feather Election, and the entire Golden Fire City is under martial law, and now it is not appropriate to cause trouble."
Murong Qi smiled and said, "What Brother Xian said is extremely true, but according to my observation, this girl is probably not a girl from an ordinary family. ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"Look at this woman's attitude, looking left and right, panicked, like a frightened bird, her left hand is completely wrapped in a white cloth, according to my guess, it should be to cover the slave mark on her wrist, this woman is probably not a good family woman, but a house slave who has escaped."
Murong Qi analyzed, but his companions didn't seem to agree.
"But isn't it a bit arbitrary to judge this based on that alone? I look at this girl's clothes, not like a slave. ”
Murong Qi shook his fan, "Her clothes were just worn out of the ready-to-wear store. ”
"How does Brother Murong know?"
"Unfortunately, she just stole money and bought clothes, and I saw it all."
The companion seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Yes or no, go down and find out." ”
It's not okay to provoke a woman from a good family, but a slave can do whatever he wants, and the laws of the Xuanling Continent are like this.
Ah Ting sat on the humble chair of the teahouse, eating a big meal, while paying vigilant attention to the people around her, from just now, she always felt that someone was staring at her, but no matter how she looked, she never found the source of people's eyes.
And just then, three young men came up on the street.
They looked like they had just come out of the big restaurant next to them, and when they sat down on the stool opposite, Ah Ting's heart suddenly became alarmed, and she immediately stood up and said in a very calm and calm tone: "Shopkeeper, settle the bill." ”
However, as soon as he took a step, the road ahead was blocked.
"Little sister, don't be in a hurry to leave." After the man finished speaking, he reached out to grab her shoulder, Ah Ting quickly dodged it, but he didn't expect that there was also a person standing behind him, grabbed her left wrist with one hand, and in an instant, a breath of air hit her wrist.
Murong Qi firmly grabbed her wrist, feeling that the released spiritual power had not broken through the meridians on her wrist, and suddenly showed a clear smile: "Heh, it's really a slave." ”
"Say, from which house slave did you escape?"
"Let go of me!" Ah Ting jerked out his hand.
Murong Qi didn't expect her to look thin and weak, but her strength was so great, so she hurriedly made a look, and the two companions suddenly understood, and the three of them stood in one position, blocking all the directions of the girl Ah Ting.
The little girl who was surrounded suddenly looked like a turtle in an urn.
Murong Qi grabbed her hair, pulled out the roots of her hair with great force, and a little blood faintly oozed from her scalp, and he said solemnly: "It's not a small courage, as a slave, you dare to run away without permission, go, follow me to the slave supervision." ”
Hearing the words of the slave inspector, the girl's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a fear in her eyes that was difficult to hide.
The criminal law of the Xuanling Continent for the runaway slaves is very strict, once they escape, after being caught, the male slave is directly cut into a human body, and the female slave cuts off her limbs, strips naked and throws it into the snake cave.
The Slave Inspectorate is one such existence that captures fugitives and supervises law enforcement.
Looking at her reaction, Murong Qi knew that he had poked seven inches, so he took her hair and walked down the street, saying as he went: "It's okay if you don't want to go to the slave inspectorate, as long as you are well-behaved......"
After all, this is the street, and as long as the trouble continues, it will definitely attract people, and no matter who comes, the slaves are the first to be pushed out.
Ah Ting looked at the blatant lewdness in the eyes of the three of them, and his eyes darkened.
She grabbed Murong Qi's hand that was holding her hair, and shouted in a weak voice, "Big brother." ”
Murong Qi immediately felt the softening of her attitude, and the other two also looked at each other, with tacit joy in each other's eyes, after all, they didn't really want to attract slave inspectors, if people were taken away, they wouldn't be able to eat, this female slave knew each other softly, it was simply good.
"How?" Murong Qi asked rhetorically.
Ah Ting hurriedly said: "A few big brothers, don't send me to the slave inspection to find out, I'm afraid of that place, what do you want to do, let's change places, okay?" ”
"You know each other." Murong Qi was very satisfied with her upper path, let go of her hair, and instead firmly grabbed her wrist, and the other two blocked on both sides.
Murong Qi grabbed her and changed directions, and walked straight towards the restaurant just now, as if he wanted to open a guest room nearby.
Ah Ting hurriedly tugged on his sleeve and said flatteringly: "Big brother, let's change places, I'm afraid that the slave inspectors will come." ”
Murong Qi looked left and right, and found that because of the scene they had made, some onlookers had gathered at some point, pointing at them.
He nodded, "That's right, then let's change places." As Murong Qi spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Ah Ting's face, and her cheeks flushed before withdrawing her hand.
Ah Ting didn't resist, just lowered his eyes, covering the gloom under his eyes.
