Chapter 46: Becoming a Slave Master (Asking for Collection)
The manager of Qingtian Talent Market is clever, and he knows Lin Xiaofan's doubts at a glance, so he quickly explains this special old man.
The old man has no name, his code name is Lao Shu, and he is only in his sixties, but just looking at the face that is as old as the bark of a tree, people who don't know still think that he is already a hundred or dozens old.
There is no way, the life of a slave is unimaginably miserable, plus he used to be a deserter on the battlefield, and he experienced countless inhuman tortures in the military inquisition, and then he was deed to the seal of a slave, and lived a life that was worse than death all day long.
Perhaps it was a protest against the injustice of fate, Lao Shu became a slave and never showed his vitality in order to win the favor of buyers, so that he was a slave for almost ten years, and was sold to various talent markets across the country, but no one cared.
Also, who wants a waste that can't be picked up on the shoulders and can't be carried in the hands?
It must be known that the old tree not only has all the limbs and veins been broken, and has no cultivation, so it can only walk normally like the most ordinary ordinary person, and every full moon night, it always shouts frantically, and lets you whip and drip wax - no, let you whip and solder, it has no effect.
In short, the old tree is a deserter, a waste, a madman, an old dog who could die at any time, and it is expensive, 50 gold, which is a strange price, a dead price injected into the slave contract.
No wonder no one wants it.
Are you afraid that people will want it?
The steward also said that he could not understand this, but what could he do? The resources of their talent market are circulated and shared throughout the country, and they come in batches, and if they can't sell them, they go in batches, and then they come in batches, and then they go in batches...... Anyway, the personnel are circulating, but now it just so happens that this is the circulation of old trees to the Qingtian area under their jurisdiction.
Such?
Lin Xiaofan turned his position, carefully observed the old tree, and found that his hair was messy, his face was as dirty as tree bark, his thick eyebrows were shaved off, his rosacea nose, and his mouth was as big as a basin.
Lao Shu was a soldier? It can be seen that a person like him used to be a bold and hearty person, such a person should be the best at making friends, how can he be a deserter?
Even if you are a deserter, you have a reason to flee.
The strong sixth sense told Lin Xiaofan that this old tree is definitely not simple, and it must be a person with a story.
It's just, he has his story, about himself?
"This old man who wastes air alive and wastes land when he dies is useless, and buying it is just a waste of food, don't buy it! We're just looking for a few practical subordinates, but we don't want this shameful deserter. Ahh Seeing that Lin Xiaofan seemed to be interested in this old man, the fat man hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.
It's just a fat man, you have a grudge against others? Is it necessary to slander people like this?
How can the things and things in this world, people and people, right and wrong, etc., be seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears to know the truth and the false?
"I want him!"
It's okay if the fat man doesn't persuade him, but as soon as he persuades Lin Xiaofan, he immediately made up his mind to buy the old tree.
"Why?"
The fat man stomped his feet heavily, and he was not afraid of collapsing other people's roof cages, but he really couldn't understand why the steward had already explained the specific situation of the old tree clearly, and Lin Xiaofan would still make such a stupid decision?
"Because I want to!"
Lin Xiaofan didn't bother to explain to the fat man, so he simply gave a big reason.
I thought about it, and I did, what other reason is needed for this?
The fat man was speechless, but he secretly despised it in his heart: You loser, do you think that 5,000 gold coins are a lot? If you lose unprincipled like this, you will be defeated sooner or later.
He never thought that he took Lin Xiaofan to this super expensive house, and he also instigated Lin Xiaofan to come to the talent market that only the local tyrants patronized, and now he ......
In fact, Lin Xiaofan really made up his mind because of the fat man's words - "joining the army", Lao Shu has joined the army, is a soldier, and he has also joined the army, he is a soldier; The difference is that the old tree is a deserter of shame, and he himself is an honorable veteran.
But Lin Xiaofan didn't believe that Lao Shu was a deserter, a deserter shouldn't be like him, and a deserter shouldn't be punished so severely, there must be some unknown reason for it.
I don't have any evidence, and I don't think I will help him find any evidence, but what I can do is to take him out of here and give this veteran a stable life, that's all.
It's a tribute to yourself.
If there is any reason, it is that this silent old tree and the second uncle's silent wood seem to be very similar - the old tree may have a common language for wood.
Buying a companion for the second uncle, it seems that this old tree is a good candidate.
As for the widow of Tofu Shih Tzu Chen, who knows if she has a fate with her second uncle?
Of course, you can't say these things to the fat man.
Lin Xiaofan paid 130 gold coins and took the contract of the slaves of these 5 people, and suddenly felt that he was instantly taller, you must know that he held five lives in his hand - as long as he wanted, he tore up the contract at any time, and the corresponding slave would die immediately, and because this was his own slave, he would not bear any legal responsibility for it, and the 20 gold bought slaves, and the purchase was also their lives - this is the real power of life and death!
Ma Dan, he accidentally became a slave owner, how can he be embarrassed by himself from modern society?
However, although the fat man was envious, he still chirped crookedly, and on the way back, he kept complaining that Lin Xiaofan shouldn't have asked for that waste old man - fainted to death, and the old tree was hanging behind the team of five.
In fact, there is no way, the fat man was born in this society, grew up in this society, he is completely seamless into this society, he was born with a matter of course that slaves are inferior people, which is not wrong in the eyes of the fat man.
It's just that Lin Xiaofan also has the same deep-rooted concept that all people are equal, even if these people are their slaves and they can be killed at any time, but they are all human beings and should be respected, at least they also have their personal dignity and human rights, instead of shouting waste and old men in front of them......
Thinking about your predecessor, isn't it also a "waste" in people's eyes wherever you go? And it's the legendary one-in-a-million waste.
Compare the heart with the heart, how can you bear it in the heart?
However, Lin Xiaofan also knew that it was completely impossible to reverse the deep-rooted concept of fat people in a while.
Therefore, the fat man can do whatever he likes, he is too lazy to pay attention to him, but he does things in his own way, lives, and goes to the top.....
......
When Lin Xiaofan led the second uncle, pointed to the newly hung "Liu Mansion" plaque in the "mansion", and told the second uncle that this was our new home, the second uncle was so frightened that he took a few steps back, his face was full of incredulity, and he only weakly stretched out his index finger and pointed at the gate, "This... This... This...."Just can't speak.
The second uncle is just honest, not a fool, he has worked in Qingtian County for many years, so he naturally knows who this mansion used to be, why it was transferred, and what conditions are required to transfer it, etc., is that a place where ordinary people can live?
Needless to say, at least 800 gold coins can be purchased.
Ah, 800 gold coins, if this is exchanged for your own salary, how many years will you have to go without eating or drinking to buy it! 800 gold coins is 80,000 silver coins, and the salary is 36 silver coins a year, which seems to be more than 2,000 years, which ......
But now......
What the hell is this?
The second uncle is such an honest person, and he is also depressed......
What has Lin Xiaofan experienced in the past two months? Healed his body, succeeded in spiritual cultivation, countless gold coins, etc., could it be that the mysterious master named "Santa Claus" gave him it?
The second uncle was thinking about it, and he had been pulled into Liu's mansion by Lin Xiaofan-
"No, Xiaofan, why isn't it called Lin Mansion?" Although the second uncle was in a trance, he was quite calm in the key place, and immediately discovered the problem.
"Although my surname is Lin, I am also a member of the Liu family."
Lin Xiaofan doesn't care about the surname of this house, he only cares about who lives in this house.
The adoptive father and adoptive mother have been killed, and the second uncle is the only living elder so far, so who is the surname of the second uncle in this house?
"But—"
"No, second uncle." Lin Xiaofan shook his head, his tone resolute, "I think it's the most appropriate to call Liu Fu!" Let's go, take a look inside! ”
"This-" The second uncle was not good at words, and at this time, he was dizzy by the sudden Liu Mansion, where could he come up with any defense? I had to follow Lin Xiaofan in a daze and continue to walk inside.
When he saw the fat man reprimanding the five slaves, the second uncle felt dizzy again......
Of course, he knew what a slave was, and even more so the price of a slave, but he didn't know that he could own a slave one day......
Fortunately, the second uncle has a calm personality and is not excited, if this is a more vain person, I am afraid that he will be attacked by this sudden happiness.
It takes time to get used to it.
Lin Xiaofan doesn't care about these times, the second uncle has a lot of time to adapt to everything here, and he will be the biggest master here in the future.
Of course, Lin Xiaofan will come back often, after all, this is the second uncle and his own home, but if you want to cultivate and alchemy, it is better to live in a retreat room.
Alas, how much better it would be if one could be configured according to the retreat room, even if it was the primary retreat room? However, it is a national patent, and it is not allowed to be applied to private places, unless there is a special approval from the state, or it can only be furnished according to its own ability......
Well, just think about it, and we'll talk about that later.
In order to make the second uncle live at ease, Lin Xiaofan agreed that the fat man chose a side room as a long-term private place, so the fat man moved into the new house that night - dizzy, was this product planned a long time ago?
But it doesn't matter, with familiar people, the second uncle should also live at ease.
After Lin Xiaofan had the first meal with his second uncle and the fat man in his new home, he immediately rushed back to the No. 888 primary retreat room, where there was a furnace of psychic pills to be collected.
Of course, this is a new home, and it is also my first real home in the Tianyun Continent, and I always have to live here for the first night no matter what.
It's just that when he came back from the retreat room, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the second uncle and the fat man had already gone to sleep, only an old body, standing on the path by the pond, letting the moonlight stretch his figure......
