The old man has been sitting here for almost an hour, calculate the time, and in another half an hour, all the markets in Fallen Leaf City will stop all transactions, and when the time comes, it is certain that he will be caught by Basel's people.

What to do?

The old man's mind was full of these three words, but even after he finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he hadn't come up with any effective methods.

It was at this moment that a vulgar voice caught the attention of the old man in the noisy market.

"Come and see, come and see. The best quality goods guarantee that you will not regret it after buying it back, and it will definitely help you make a lot of money. Look at this strong muscle, look at this sub......"

From the voice, the old man could already tell what this guy was doing.

The old man turned his head in disgust, stood up, and wanted to leave the market. For this situation, the old man adheres to the creed of not seeing and not being upset, and can go as far as he can.

This is the cruelty and helplessness of society. As a human being, why do some people enjoy all the fine clothes and food, while some people become slaves like pigs and dogs?

At the moment when the old man raised his feet and wanted to leave, a thought flashed through the old man's mind.

Yes, now they want to arrest me, but it's not me who wants to get out of the city!

Although this idea sounded a bit contradictory, the old man seemed to be extremely excited as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw. An idea began to slowly take shape in the old man's mind, and eventually, a smile appeared on the old man's face covered with traces of vicissitudes.

Why not?

The old man's face glowed with excitement, as if he had returned to his youth. It seems that there are not many people who can make an old man who is over half a hundred years old glow with such brilliance.

Now that he had thought of a way out of his current predicament, the old man immediately put it into action.

Choosing a relatively hidden corner, the old man avoided everyone's attention, displayed his martial arts, and inadvertently squeezed in with everyone.

It's really lively.

Inside is a makeshift half-man high wooden platform, on which is a horizontal bar the thickness of a bowl, on which are more than a dozen unclothed young men and women. With the exception of a few rotten cloth heads that barely covered the vital parts of their bodies, all of the dozen or so were almost naked. A barrel-like, bejeweled businessman shouted on the stage.

"Let's take a look, the man's body is strong, and the woman's richness is charming. Let's take a look, the latest slave who has just arrived. ”

The vulgar tone and duck-like voice made the old man who had just squeezed into the crowd frown slightly. What I hate the most is this kind of scene, if it weren't for the fact that I had important things to do today, I would never have dealt with such a person.

Glancing at the more than a dozen male and female slaves tied to the stage, the old man's gaze finally rested on a male slave in the far corner on the left.

Unlike the other slaves, his limbs were not tied with ordinary ropes, but with iron chains. Although he was now sitting cross-legged on the stage because of the chains, even so, he was still no less tall than the vulgar human trafficker. The well-developed muscles on his body show his explosive strength. Obviously, this won't be an easy role to give into. I really don't know how this trafficker got his hands on him in the first place.

"Thirty silver coins for men, twenty silver coins for women. If you like it, you will shout a price, and the one with the highest price will get it. ”

The "keg" was still screaming with his gong-like voice. Compared to the listless, dirty slaves on the stage, in the eyes of the old man, he was more like a beast, a beast without human feelings.

"How much does that guy cost?"

Although the old man was extremely angry about this dirty "business", for today's plan, he could only force himself to do such a "business" with this "wine barrel".

"Which one?" As soon as he heard that business came to the door, the pupils in the eyes of the "wine barrel" suddenly enlarged a lot. Hurry through the crowd to search for this "potential" customer.

The old man took a step forward so that the "keg" could see who was doing business with him.

As soon as he saw the old man dressed as a civilian, the flattery on the original face of the "wine barrel" disappeared without a trace in the next moment.

With such a poor appearance, it seems that he can't afford to pay a lot of money, and it seems impossible to get some oil and water from this kind of person.

He didn't hide his contempt for the old man, and put on a lazy appearance and said, "Which one do you want to buy?"

The old man didn't mind the 180-degree turn of the "wine barrel" attitude, and still pointed to the young man with the chain on the far left and said, "That's it." ”

It's really fine!

Compared to the waist as thick as a wine barrel, the one on the neck did not look like a head at all, but more like a small apple piled on top of a large winter melon.

The "keg" began to weigh the deal in his head.

Anyone could tell that the male slave sitting in the corner was the best of the pack of "goods". However, for this "goods", I have a lot of brains.

In fact, before that, two nobles had already bought the slave, but each time they ended up with a "return". The reason is that this male slave is too difficult to control, not only does not help the master to work, but also causes trouble everywhere, encouraging other slaves to rebel against the master.

It's not that easy to be greedy for my cheapness!

The "wine barrel" has already begun to snicker in his heart at this moment, and being able to sell such "goods" can also save himself a lot of thought. This guy doesn't seem to know what's going on yet. If you are unlucky, I will transfer this "warehouse bottom goods" to you today.

Having made up his mind, the "wine barrel" immediately changed into a false merchant face, and said with a smile: "Is he what the guest said?"

In order to further confirm the old man's thoughts, the "wine barrel" deliberately pointed to the stout man on the far left.

"That's him. The old man nodded slightly.

Many of the people present knew the "power" of this slave, and when they heard that the old man was going to buy this, they shook their heads and sighed, knowing that another wronged man was going to be slaughtered by this "wine barrel".

"You really have a vision, and you can see such a good slave at a glance. There are so few discerning customers like you!"

The old man waved his hand to stop the sycophancy of the "wine barrel", and said with slight displeasure: "Tell me directly, how much does it cost." ”

I don't have time to consume this "wine barrel" here, and if I don't move quickly, I'm afraid the market will be closed, and I will be the unlucky one at that time. What's more, not only will he be unlucky, but he will probably not be able to complete the secret mission given to him by the duke.

The "wine barrel" rolled a pair of mouse eyes, and said with a smile: "Look at your sincerity, just forty silver coins!"

As soon as the surrounding people heard this price, their original dissatisfaction immediately turned into actual action, and many people shouted: "A slave who no one wants, even asks for forty silver coins, is it clear that he is a pit man?" ”

The shouting and scolding came and went, although the sound was not loud, but the unanimous dissatisfaction of everyone still embarrassed the "wine barrel" on the stage, although he was annoyed in his heart, but his face could not show half of it. Seeing that the old man did not further express his attitude in the shouts of the crowd, he was afraid of smashing the transaction, so he hurriedly "consciously" lowered the price and said: "Twenty, twenty silver coins, no one shouts anymore now, right?"

The old man still didn't take care of this "wine barrel" full of brains, but turned his head and asked the ordinary citizen next to him: "Is there something wrong with this slave?"

A kind-hearted young man said softly: "There's nothing wrong with this guy, it's just one word, strong." I've been retired twice before, both because this guy doesn't work hard and always runs away. ”

When the old man heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, isn't this exactly the person he needs.

The old man moved his gaze to the wooden platform again, staring intently at the young and stocky slave.

As soon as the "wine barrel" saw someone next to him reminding the old man, he knew that the matter could not be hidden, and he could only sigh secretly that he was unlucky, it seems that this business must be yellow. The original anger rose up at once, and he turned and kicked the young slave fiercely, and cursed angrily: "Damn boy, bad for my business, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish when I go back today." ”

This kick not only did not bring the slave to his knees, but instead provoked the displeasure of everyone in the audience. The slave was not afraid of the threat, and glanced up at the "wine barrel" with disdain and disdain in his eyes.

Hearing the disgruntled boos of the audience, the "wine barrel" originally wanted to stop beating the slave, but when he saw the disdain in the slave's eyes, the anger in his heart rose again. With his right hand, he picked up the whip pinned behind him and whipped it down at the young slave.
