Chapter 444: Buying Two Women
In the desert at night, there is also a lively side.
A small city in the middle of the desert, the wind and sand have engraved the history of this desert city.
During the day, there are hardly any people here, but at night, it becomes the busiest market.
Inherited for thousands of years, camels, cattle and sheep are traded here, and of course, one of the most important items traded is slaves.
This is a slave trading market that is not well known to outsiders, and of course, due to the progress of the times, it does not have the appearance of the peak and peak of the slave trade in the colonial era.
Occasionally, slaves were traded, and more often than not, ordinary goods, livestock, weapons, and precious items were traded.
There are laws under the night, and the laws of this small desert city are controlled by a group of sand bandits.
From the middle of the 14th century to the end of the 19th century, in order to provide labor for the plantations and mines of the American colonies, Western colonial countries abducted a large number of black people from black Africa and trafficked them to the Americas and other places in a long distance, which was the bloody African slave trade.
In the second half of the 19th century, the slave trade was largely stopped, but it did not eventually disappear, and sporadic trafficking continued until the end of the 19th century and even the beginning of the 21st century.
Of course, such a slave purchase is not a traditional slave, but a human resource.
Africa's backwardness, as well as the living environment, still has a lot of traditional things preserved here.
When Fan Yize came to this desert city, at the booth in the center of the city, the transaction had not yet begun.
"Commander, this is the sand bandit's nest, the two women in the target, the sand bandit plans to wait for the auction." The ghost team members lurking around introduced Fan Yize.
"How's the firepower of the bandits?" Fan Yize asked.
"There are two or three hundred people, with a variety of weapons, RPGs, and some earthen guns and artillery, which can only bully the honest people nearby, and they don't have too strong combat effectiveness, but they are all good at riding and shooting, and it is difficult to entangle them in the desert." The ghost team introduced.
"Can you have a direct conversation with the bandits?" Fan Yize asked again.
"We'll arrange it right away." The ghost team said.
"Okay, I hope to see those two women soon." Fan Yize nodded.
After fifteen minutes of walking straight, several sand bandits with weapons walked out of the tent in the base camp and found Fan Yize who was not hidden in the city.
Following a few sand bandits, Fan Yize also met the boss of this group of sand bandits, a middle-aged one-eyed dragon, who made some gains in the night hunting, not only caught two foreign women, but also two cars, which was not a bumper harvest, but it was not bad.
Therefore, the sand bandit boss seemed a little happy, and was enjoying his dinner with relish, a plate of raw beef.
On the huge table, there are also a few sharp machetes and two pistols, and the leader of the sand bandits who is seated with the big Malaysian golden knife also has a bit of the demeanor of the king of the mountain.
Seeing Fan Yize walking in, the leader of the sand bandits asked impatiently, "Are you willing to buy those two women?" ”
"If the price is right." Fan Yize nodded very dryly.
"A hundred camels." The sand bandit boss is also a simple person, and he directly raised a finger and said.
When Fan Yize heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't have a camel." ”
When the sand bandits in the tent heard this, they were all a little annoyed, thinking that Fan Yize was here to trick people, and some of them had a seizure, and Fan Yize had already taken out a two-kilogram gold bar from his pocket.
Gold, which is also a hard currency in the desert, is more popular than camels.
As soon as everyone saw the gold, their eyes were straight, flashing with greedy eyes, and the gaze that looked at Fan Yize also became a little dangerous.
Even the boss of the sand bandit is no exception.
"Humph!" Fan Yize snorted coldly, took two steps forward, stood on the edge of the heavy wooden table, held the gold in his hand, and slammed it on the table.
The heavy solid wood table made a loud noise, and when Fan Yize's palm left the table, the gold bar was slapped into the table, flush with the tabletop.
The scalp of the sand bandit boss jumped obviously, and his gaze at Fan Yize was also full of vigilance, but he was also a person who had seen the wind and rain, so he immediately said: "Cheerful, come on, bring those two women over." ”
Hearing this, Fan Yize pulled over a wooden stool and sat directly in front of the sand bandit boss.
The dozen or so sand bandits in the tent looked at Fan Yize, and they didn't have the greed of Chiguoguo before, but more of a cautious worry.
There were also two sand bandits who didn't believe it, so they came to the table and took a look, and inserted them with daggers. It took a lot of effort to dig up the gold on the table.
Gold is naturally no problem, and Fan Yize's actions also made these sand bandits a little afraid to mess around.
The two women were taken into tents, changed into some traditional local Arabic costumes, and seemed ready to be sold.
A piece of gold sold to these two women was already a high price for the sand bandits.
"From now on, these two women are yours." Sand Bandit Boss. Playing with the gold in his hand, he said to Fan Yize.
The two women who were brought in saw Fan Yize for the first time, and they already showed a look for help, and when they heard the words of the sand bandit boss, they nodded hurriedly.
"I'm going to take them away right away." Fan Yize ignored the two women and said to the sand bandit boss.
"No problem, please." The sand bandit boss was also a simple person, pointing to the door of his tent and said.
Fan Yize got up directly, pulled the rope tied to the two women, and directly pulled the two women out of the tent.
There were sand bandits who followed, and they seemed to be a little unwilling and ready to move.
Outside the city, Fan Yize's convoy was already waiting, and the five or six crew members of the ghost special commando team pointed their guns at the sand bandits who were following Fan Yize, and quickly opened the door of the off-road truck to protect Fan Yize and the others from getting into the car.
In the city, the sand bandit boss stood at the door of the tent, looking at Fan Yize and the others who got on the car outside the city and were about to leave, and someone on the side asked: "Boss, why don't you stop it, maybe that man will have more gold bars on him." ”
"The desert has been very unquiet lately, don't accidentally provoke enemies that you shouldn't provoke, after all, there is another dangerous world outside." The sand bandit boss said unwillingly.
"That's a pity, maybe I can go out and be a rich man outside." The sand bandit on the side said with some regret.
Looking at the departure convoy, the sand bandit boss said: "Be careful that you have money and no life to spend." ”
