370. A small Asian couple
Xie Wuji followed the crowd and entered the store together, facing the dazzling array of cages, Xie Wuji's mood was very depressed.
To be precise, none of them are humans, but a race called "subhumans".
Subhumans are the existence between demon beasts and humans, they have human characteristics, but they also have the special diagnosis of demon beasts, such as a graceful woman, slender body, delicate facial features, but with the furry ears of a fox, and a slender and soft tail.
The price of this subhuman is two hundred gold.
When the people came in, the subhumans looked at them in fear.
The merchant and Xie Wuji were together, and the merchant said: "Little brother, you are here for the first time, in the big city of the Ming Kingdom, it is not allowed to buy and sell sub-people, but in such a small city, they are all similar existences. โ
"Indeed, this scene, I never dared to think before, a living person, was clearly marked with a price. Xie Wuji said.
"They are not people, they are lowly submen. A buddy next to him said that here, the male subhumans are driven by labor, and the female subhumans are a little more beautiful, and they will be regarded as forbidden meat.
"Do you know about forbidden meat?" said the dude.
Xie Wuji said: "Well, that's really tragic enough. โ
Forbidden meat is an extremely tragic existence, even more tragic than concubines and female slaves, Xie Wuji also understands this, because in this world, it has been mentioned in five thousand years of history.
The sub-humans here are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the superior sub-people, the male is strong, and the female is beautiful, which is the most popular existence.
Of course, the fate of such subhumans will be a little better, usually selected by some nobles, so there is no need to worry about death, as long as they will please their masters, it is no problem to have no worries about food and clothing.
Medium-sized subhumans, on the other hand, are bought by workshops and shops, and after being bought, they engage in some light physical activity.
The worst is the inferior sub-people, what forbidden meat, what kind of labor is these people, usually they don't live long.
For example, the woman with fox ears looks very charming, and now she has attracted the attention of many people, and she will inevitably be bought at a high price this time.
Xie Wuji's gaze focused on the two people in a cage in the corner.
A man and a woman, the man is about twenty years old, and the woman is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks like a brother and sister.
But they were so weak that they looked like they were going to die at any moment.
However, Xie Wuji took a fancy to them, not because of their appearance, but because of the aura of these two people.
Xie Wuji has been in contact with demons, especially Dongmen Xianyun, she is now a living demon, demons have very powerful powers, and this pair of brothers and sisters seems to have a similar smell on their bodies, although they are not pure, but they are very clear.
The two of them may be dying and are not in a good state, so the price of the two of them is less than one or two gold.
"These two wastes, they've been here for a year, and no one buys them, so they know how to eat and eat!" said the shopkeeper, whipping them up.
Xie Wuji stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, slow down, I want these two people!"
As soon as they heard that Xie Wuji wanted it, the people around him were disdainful, after all, this was an inferior sub-person, and those who bought a low-class sub-person generally didn't have much money.
The shopkeeper is different, because no one buys these two people, so they have been eating empty salaries, and he wants others to buy them.
Originally, because he was silver-haired, the shopkeeper felt that he could sell it at a high price, but in fact, he found that silver hair was nothing special, and the sub-human hair was colorful, very special, and it was still a sturdy sub-human, and the beautiful sub-human was more valuable.
The shopkeeper quickly went through the formalities for Xie Wuji, and when Xie Wuji saw that the shopkeeper was going to imprint Yaren's body, he blocked it, and he said, "What is this for?"
"Haha, that's right, guest officer, once this subhuman is sold to a guest, it has to be branded, on the street, where do you see the subhuman? Once a subhuman sneaks out, he will be directly killed, this is just a group of livestock, and with the brand, it is the thing that has a master, so don't worry about this. The shopkeeper said.
Xie Wuji pondered for a moment: "It's not necessary, if you dare to sneak away, there is me." โ
"I know, I know!" the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "I don't know if the guest officer likes anything else, but you bought the least sought-after sub-people in our store, so if you want to buy others, we will give you a discount." โ
"Use it first, and then change it if it's not suitable. Xie Wuji said.
The shopkeeper squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, good, welcome to the guest again!"
Outside, Xie Wuji looked at the two sub-people who were following him, and he threw out two sets of clothes: "Put them on." โ
The two men were stunned, and the little girl said, "Can we get dressed?"
Both of them were dressed in something resembling rags, barely hanging on their bodies, and they were outrageously shabby.
"Get dressed, take you to get some food. Xie Wuji said.
The silver-haired boy was shocked and said, "You're not going to ...... us."
"Will you?"
"Eat, a lot of people have to eat subhumans now, a lot of ......"
"That's really a pig and a dog. Xie Wuji said, "Sort it out, as long as you are obedient, I will not treat you badly." โ
Xie Wuji understood that if he was too good to them all of a sudden, they would definitely not be used to it.
The two of them ate a lot on the noodle stall, Xie Wuji looked at the two of them with a good appetite, of course, Xie Wuji still moved his hands and feet to eat, and put a lot of pill powder, they were too weak and needed to replenish their bodies.
"What's your name?" Xie Wuji asked.
"Woo!" the silver-haired boy sucked the noodles into his mouth, "We don't have names, but we have nicknames, they call me Dabai, and this is my good friend, called Xiaobai!"
"Poof, hello, you kid can. Xie Wuji scolded with a smile.
"We are two people who have been stocked from a tribe in the mountains and forests, and we have no one to rely on because our relatives are dead. Dabai said.
Xie Wuji frowned, and said in his heart that in this world, it seems that there are still many demon races, but since there are races, it is fine, after all, all demons are not necessarily bad people.
There are still dregs like Ding Desheng among the human race, and it is not surprising that there are a few reasonable people among the demons.
This Da Bai and Xiao Bai, both of them look okay, now that they have eaten something, the two of them are much better than just now, Xie Wuji said: "What are your specialties?"
"The two of us have a lot of strength. Dabai said.
Xie Wuji laughed, but at this moment, Da Bai walked outside and lifted a carriage with one hand, Xie Wuji was taken aback, and at the same time a customer who was eating shouted: "What are you doing as a subhuman, hey, don't damage my goods!"
