Chapter 199: Acting as a cart slave for cattle and horses
Zhang Xiaoxue put the three gifts back in the warehouse of the farm, there was nothing to prepare, and she carried all her things with her.
Called the red spirit, went to the corner gate of the palace, found the coachman waiting there, and went to the blacksmith shop first.
When the carriage stopped in front of the blacksmith shop, Zhang Xiaoxue got out of the carriage and saw a picture that shocked her.
Next to the blacksmith's shop, there were eight shirtless men, who were also wearing trousers, but none of them had good trousers, and their waists and shoulders were tied with rough ropes that connected them to a carriage behind them.
What kind of family is this? They actually use people as horses to pull carts.
Their naked backs were all covered with whip marks, some of which had just been whipped, and some of them were still dripping with blood.
It's so cruel, Zhang Xiaoxue looked at these men, their eyes were dull, and their faces were numb, even those men with blood on their backs couldn't see the painful expressions.
Although they lowered their heads a little, Zhang Xiaoxue still saw the word slave engraved on their foreheads, it turned out that these people were slaves, and they were actually used by their masters as tools to pull carts.
None of these slaves looked healthy, all of them were very thin, and a carriage was pulled by eight slaves, which showed how good their physical strength was.
Hey! As a modern person, Zhang Xiaoxue still has some difficulty accepting this phenomenon of treating people as animals.
Remembering what her family told her that slaves were actually inferior to livestock, she hadn't really seen them, and she still wouldn't have this kind of shock.
"Lord Xueshan, what's wrong with you?
Hong Ling saw that Zhang Xiaoxue got out of the carriage and stood there motionless, and her face was a little not good-looking, so she asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, let's go. After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she walked forward, and Hong Ling hurriedly followed.
Walking not far from the slaves, Zhang Xiaoxue's heart moved, and she took out a net of tomatoes from the farm, and saw that there were six tomatoes in this net pocket, and then Zhang Xiaoxue took out two more tomatoes, adding up to a total of eight tomatoes.
He put them before the slaves and said to them, "These are for you to eat." ”
After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she turned around and left, and didn't see if these slaves would accept her gifts, so she entered the blacksmith shop.
As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, the master in the blacksmith shop found Zhang Xiaoxue, and saw him greet him with a smile on his face.
"Girl, you're here, the farm tools you ordered are ready, will you take them now?"
Because there are so many iron farm tools, it is not something that can be moved by one person, and the master in the blacksmith shop did not see Zhang Xiaoxue bring a person other than a maid to help take farm tools, so he asked.
"I'm here today to get farm tools, of course I'm going to take them now, where do I put them? I'm going to take them now, our money accounts are settled, and I don't need to pay any more money." ”
When Zhang Xiaoxue settled last time, she deducted the full amount, so she only came to get the farm tools today, and she didn't have to pay at all, she was afraid that the blacksmith master would forget, so she emphasized it again.
"Haha! Your customized farm tools, we have put them here, and the accounts have indeed been settled, of course we will not ask for silver taels again. ”
The master in the blacksmith shop laughed, pointed to a pile of farm tools and said to Zhang Xiaoxue.
Zhang Xiaoxue looked in the direction of the master's finger in the blacksmith shop, and sure enough, there was a bunch of farm tools there, and the quantity was also the quantity she ordered.
Zhang Xiaoxue walked over and put all these farm tools into the space ring she was wearing on her hand.
This scene was seen by the master in the blacksmith shop, and he was taken aback, it turned out that this little girl was actually hidden, and she was such a person with such an identity, and even had this kind of treasure for storage.
His face was more respectful to Zhang Xiaoxue.
Next to some of the knives, there is a man who looks very rich, and he also chooses knives there.
He was originally entertained by the master of this blacksmith shop, because as soon as Zhang Xiaoxue came in, the master of this blacksmith shop actually left him aside and went to entertain Zhang Xiaoxue.
He felt that he had lost face, and he was angry, and wanted to come over to find Zhang Xiaoxue to get trouble, but when he saw the scene of Zhang Xiaoxue collecting farm tools, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, he was very glad that he hadn't made a move, otherwise he would have caused a big trouble for himself.
He was thinking, the domineering expression on his face just now, I don't know if Zhang Xiaoxue saw it? Thinking of this, this rich man shrank into the corner, thinking about reducing his sense of existence.
This person did think a little too much, Zhang Xiaoxue really didn't look at him, so he didn't know anything about his inner activities.
When Zhang Xiaoxue used her mind to check whether the crystal pendant on the wishing tree was lit up, she found that there were three of them last time, and this time the remaining seven crystal pendants that were dark were six again, and there was still one crystal pendant that was not lit up.
This time, she gave a total of eight people, eight tomatoes, an average of one tomato per person, and received six gratitudes, maybe two people were numb, and they didn't feel the gifts of others, and they were not bad in comparison.
Zhang Xiaoxue thought of the slaves she was going to buy, whether she was as numb as these slaves, and she no longer had any hope for life.
Thinking that when the time comes, I will also use the crops on the farm to test it, and the slave who can be grateful to herself, Zhang Xiaoxue will accept it, if you are not grateful at all, and the kind of slave who has negative feelings about it, you still don't even want to buy it.
Now that she had taken the farm tools, Zhang Xiaoxue planned to go directly to Lin Baozhu's house from the blacksmith shop, and when she walked out, she glanced at the rich man who was shrinking in the corner, which startled the man.
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't have any other ideas, but felt that this person must be the owner of the eight slaves outside, because in this blacksmith shop, in addition to the blacksmiths, he was left as a guest.
Looking at the person's dress, it is not like a person who has no money and can't afford to buy cattle and horses, using slaves to pull carts is also a perverted hobby, or to show off his identity, after all, slaves are not owned by anyone.
Thinking of the origin of these slaves, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't be happy, and once again reminded Zhang Xiaoxue that this is a troubled era, backwardness will be beaten, and if the country is invaded by other countries, war is inevitable.
