Chapter 53: The Slave Market
In the evening, Matt came back from the brothel, and when he entered the house, he saw sacks of grain piled up in the yard, almost filling the road, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
When I entered the house, I saw Debi taking inventory of her possessions, and all the boxes in the room where the gold coins were stored were opened, emitting a dazzling glow in the light of the candles.
Debbie cleared all her possessions and found that there were only more than 10,000 gold coins left, and all that was left was this house, and the year's hard support was almost exhausted.
"Sister, what are you doing here, what's the matter with so much food out there?" Matt quickly asked.
"Big brother, we're getting out of here. The expression on Debi's face when she said this was also relaxed, as if she was relieved.
Hearing this, Matt was even more puzzled, and continued to ask, "Where are you going?"
Debi glanced at her brother and told her what she had discussed with Surin.
When he first heard that they were going to Loggo, Matt was also very angry, thinking that Surin was a liar, but after thinking about it, maybe leaving here was also a good choice.
The next day, Surin took Shi'an and prepared to go around the city with Debi, because he still wanted to buy something, but before that, he had to go to the docks to see the Debi family's fleet.
Soon the group arrived at the dock, and Debi pointed to the ten boats on the river and said, "These boats belong to our family, and they haven't been moved for a year." ”
Su Lin carefully looked at the ships in front of Man, except for the two large ships that were more than fifty meters long, the other eight were smaller, but their hulls were very clean, it should be because they were cleaned frequently.
After a closer look, Surin realized that these two large ships should have a load of between four and five hundred tons, which can be regarded as the most advanced in this era.
"When the time comes, we'll leave with these two big ships, and the rest will leave a deep memory for Max!"
Since Su Lin told her that idea, the reluctance in Debi's heart has also been opened.
Then they went to the market in the city, and in addition to grain seeds, Surin needed people with skills the most, but these people would not sail with him to Loggo, so there was only one source, and that was slaves.
Then Debi took Surin and the others to the slave market, and as far as the eye could see, there were slaves tied with iron chains or ropes, men, women and children, and those slave owners were constantly shouting.
"Come and see, the character beauty only needs fifty silver coins, bring it back and give you a big fat son. ”
"Knights who survived the battlefield, buy them back to keep you safe, come and see!"
Shi An saw that the eyes of these people wearing chains were also full of heartache, and hurriedly grabbed Su Lin's root and said, "Look how pitiful they are, why don't you buy them!"
Hearing this, Su Lin also smiled at her, and then replied: "I'm not doing charity, and I don't have so much money now, maybe this is the arrangement of fate!"
Then they went around the slave market and bought more than sixty slaves, including blacksmiths, carpenters, winemakers, bow masters, etc., for more than five hundred gold coins.
Then Surin began to buy frantically in the city, such as a few looms and the like, as well as all kinds of fruit tree saplings, after all, Logo is now short of everything, he can bring as much as he can, and he can't let the cabin be empty.
At this time, Shi'an ran to the front alone, as if she saw a person next to her leading a few little sheep for sale, very cute, she couldn't help but squat down and stroke it, and looked at Su Lin and said, "Why don't we buy it and buy it back, they are so cute and so well-behaved." ”
"Okay. Su Lin nodded in agreement, after all, these sheep can also be brought back, and when they grow up, they can not only eat but also be useful.
After returning with a flock of sheep, Debi also went to the dock again, preparing for tomorrow night's sailing.
At this time, on the dock, Prang was sitting with the remaining fifty people chatting with each other, after all, most of the people were old, and they were all alone, so they didn't go anywhere else, and planned to retire here.
After a while, everyone saw Debi coming over, and quickly got up and said, "Miss, why are you here?"
"I'm here to discuss something with you, I'm going to leave here and go to Loggo, will you come with me?" Debbie whispered about leaving.
Everyone bowed their heads and fell into deep thought, they had lived here all their lives, and they had never thought of leaving here, and they had gone as far as Logo.
Debbie's heart couldn't help but sink when she saw this scene, if they didn't want to go, then they couldn't leave, they sailors were the most important.
At this moment, a sudden passionate voice came: "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once, and a person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret that he has done nothing or wasted his time, so that when he is dying, he can say"
But suddenly the voice was cut off, and the people could not help looking up, and found that the man had turned away, looked at the river in front of them, and said, "I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause in the world, the struggle for the conquest of the sea." ”
Hearing this, Pu Lang and the others also felt a shock in their bodies, and there was a force in their hearts as if they were about to rush out, as if they were already standing on the boat, facing the wind and waves of the sea.
Debi was also stunned after hearing Su Lin's words, she didn't expect him to say such contagious words, and even she was full of blood at this time.
Su Lin looked at everyone as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he struck while the iron was hot and continued The group of older sailors on the website said: "Many of you must not have seen what the sea is like, this voyage may be fatal, but at the moment of death, we will not regret it, as a sailor, dying in the sea is our best destination, and if we don't go crazy, there will be no chance." ”
"Yes, although we can still move now, we won't be able to move in a few years, and I think I will regret that I haven't even seen the sea by then. ”
"I think, follow the young lady, even if you die, you have to see the sea with your own eyes. ”
Seeing this scene, Surin also glanced at Debi, and then laughed at the same time.
At this time, Alice was arguing with Berry: "Big brother, I'm not young anymore, and it's my own choice to do anything, you can't control it." ”
Hearing this, Brown also fought back angrily: "I'm your eldest brother, if I say no, I can't, if you go to Luogo with Lin, how can I explain to my father." ”
As soon as Su Lin came back, he heard them arguing in the house, and he understood what they were arguing about, and he had to tie the bell to the bell, so he had to talk to Alice himself, so he pushed the door and walked in.
The two brothers and sisters also stopped when they saw Su Lin, and Alice threw herself directly into his arms, shouting that she wanted to go with him.
"Okay, you're still young, I once touched you, maybe it's just your mood fluctuations, let's separate for a while first, if we really have a fate, we will meet again." Surin comforted softly.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you. Alice nodded in agreement.
Brown saw that Su Lin's words made her honest, and he couldn't help but sigh, he was his own brother and didn't resist Su Lin's words.
Then he looked at Su Lin and said, "Why don't you go during the day, but at night?"
Su Lin shrugged his shoulders and replied, "You'll know tomorrow night." ”
Early the next morning, Debi had food and various supplies loaded onto the ship and waited for the evening.
And Su Lin also got up early in the morning to go to the dock to stroll around to see if he could find anything new.
But after wandering around all morning, he didn't find anything, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the crowd boiling again.
Then he turned to see a boat floating on the river, medium in size, but very tattered, with a broken mast and a broken bow.
At this time, the people next to him had already begun to discuss: "Look at the appearance of the ship, it should be Baron Andrew's ship!"
"It seems that I haven't seen him since I left two years ago, and I thought he wouldn't come back, but I didn't expect to come back. ”
When the ship docked, everyone gathered around, and Surin was no exception, wanting to see if there was anything good to bring back from the mysterious island.
Immediately afterwards, a group of haggard-looking and dirty-dressed people got off the ship and fell directly to the ground.
Andrew was also expressionless after getting off the ship, he spent all his family property to prepare for this voyage two years ago, the purpose was to make a lot of money, but he got lost on the way back and was trapped in the Devil's Sea for a year, and then came out by chance together.
But now that I'm back, I haven't caught anything, and I'm really a poor guy now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that he must not be unable to catch anything, and then his brain turned quickly.
At this time, he suddenly thought that there were some things collected along the way, and he didn't know what these things were, so he immediately came up with a plan.
Su Lin was standing in the crowd at the moment trying to see what was being removed from the boat, but there was no movement, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
At this moment, the man at the head suddenly shouted: "I have collected some things from overseas, and I put them on the ship, and now I can go in and pick one for a gold coin, and I will give you whatever you take." ”
