"Three, that's what you're talking about?" Liu Ling stared at a large pot of boiled red crabs and said listlessly.

It was an island in the East China Sea, and there was no one on the island except the two of them.

It's been three days, and the sunrise has been watching; I watched the sunset too. All day long, I either eat fish, shrimp, and crab. The air smells fishy, and it seems that the body smells fishy too.

"Of course it's interesting, the last time I was here, I went whale hunting. Tomorrow, we're going whale hunting, and it's fun. Liu Chang didn't notice the depressed aunt, and happily recalled the last time in order to vent his depressed mood, under the instigation of the lack of heart, he went to the sea to hunt whales.

"The clothes I brought are all moldy, and there are a few fur coats, all of which have fallen off" Liu Ling didn't listen at all, still taking care of herself, and muttered to herself:

"I take it with me every time I go out, and I haven't been willing to wear it"

"I've been coughing for the past two days, the air is too humid, I must have choked on the water in the air, I'm really useless, why didn't I bring some cough medicine." Ahem, ahem. ”

The aunt who was thinking about it kept talking.

"Or, let's change places," Liu Chang asked tentatively.

"Okay. Okay" Liu Ling came to her senses as soon as she could, she didn't even want the crabs in the basin, she picked up Liu Chang and left.

"Auntie, why don't you dry your fur coat first?"

"No, no, go back and dry again"

"Take some cough medicine first"

"Go back and eat, go back and eat!"

When they sat in the carriage of the post station, swayed around, and entered Luoyang City, it was already the evening of the next day, and when they got off the aircraft, Liu Ling's mood immediately improved, and she didn't cough anymore, even if she sat in the carriage for more than a day, it didn't affect her mood.

No way, although Luoyang is big, parking spaces are hard to find. Unlike Chang'an City, three or four hundred miles around on the forest garden, is a wasteland, no one, here out of the city is a farmer, they finally found a no-man's land two hundred miles away, parked, got off, looked for a car, and then took the car, just this time took nearly two days.

Fortunately, Luoyang is a shopping mall, after the opening of the Silk Road, this is the starting point of the Silk Road, out of the Western Regions, all kinds of merchants from the Western Regions are endless, do not close the city gate, otherwise, they are afraid that they will squat in the city gate.

After entering the city, first find one of the best foreign-related hotels, Barbarian Mansion, and take a look at this name, typical discrimination and insult to foreigners. But those foreigners didn't care, the barbarians were barbarians, as long as they had money to make, they all went in and out happily under the signboards of the glittering barbarians. There is a taste of "I am a barbarian, I am proud".

Liu Chang and his aunt also walked into the Barbarian Mansion from under the "Barbarian Mansion" signboard with a flat expression, and they did not show their consciousness and pride as a Han person at all, just like a typical Han scum.

In the case of "two upper rooms", Liu Ling came forward to negotiate, there was no way, Liu Chang was not as high as the counter.

The shopkeeper glanced at Liu Ling under the big-brimmed hat, obviously shocked. If there is a Japanese imperial army, he will definitely smile and say, "Yo Xi, flower girl", foreigners in strange costumes, the shopkeeper has seen a lot, but I have never seen such a beautiful "flower girl" in strange costumes. Dressed as a Han person, but wearing a hat as big as a hat, hehehe, strange.

"Madam, one room is three hundred dollars a day, and two rooms are six hundred dollars." A look of flattery.

"Pay five days first" Liu Ling took out a horseshoe gold, in the Han Dynasty, one gold was worth 10,000 dollars. But a horseshoe gold is not a gold, it is a pound of gold, it is sixteen gold!

"Husband, ma'am." The shopkeeper had some knots: "It's too much, too much, I can't find it." ”

"I don't have a little money," Liu Ling said: "Or, let's hold it first, you can arrange it for these five days, and you can spend it all." ”

"Madam, don't say five days, even a hundred days can't be spent" The shopkeeper said with a sad face, the Barbarian Mansion itself is famous for knocking bamboo poles, but where has the shopkeeper seen such a thick bamboo pole, his hammer is too small to knock it.

"If you can't finish it, you can't do it! After spending it, you will be rewarded with 10,000 dollars! "Liu Ling can't help it, where can she find change.

"Then, Madame, I'll go and ask the host." When a small business meets a big customer, the shopkeeper has no choice but to ask for instructions. spent 160,000 yuan in five days, and he didn't dare to take this job.

In a few moments, the shopkeeper and a proprietor with a goatee came out of the backyard. The proprietor was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Ling, walked over with a smile on his face, saluted Liu Ling, and said, "Madam, is there anything offensive about the shop?" If you are offended, please also ask Mrs. Haihan. ”

"I didn't say you were offended, I just came to stay at the hotel." apologized as soon as he came up, Liu Ling guessed that he might have misunderstood, so he spoke.

"I see" The proprietor's heart was slightly calm, and just after listening to the shopkeeper's words, he thought that he had offended some people and came to find fault. At first, it seemed that the person was a woman, and it didn't seem like a person who deliberately made things difficult, but as a businessman, he should still be cautious, so he said: "Although Madame is staying in, this deposit is not acceptable, please Madame take it back." ”

"Free stay?" Hearing this, Liu Ling couldn't help but be furious: "You actually dare to humiliate me!" ”

"Madame forgives, Madame forgives me" The proprietor saw Liu Ling's anger, and was so frightened that he hurriedly confessed: "The villain will never dare to have such thoughts." It's just that the small shop really can't spend the 160,000 dollars in five days, please forgive me. ”

"That," Liu Ling's expression softened slightly, and said, "You won't cut this ingot of gold." ”

"This is horseshoe gold, the little shop doesn't dare to cut it," the proprietor said as he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Liu Ling suddenly had no claims, it was uncomfortable to have no money to spend, and it was even more uncomfortable if she couldn't spend it: "Then what should I do?" ”

In the lobby, there were originally people coming and going, Liu Ling herself is still a bewitching woman, attracting attention, plus a big gold brick, unconsciously surrounded by five or six people to see the strange, lively, and beautiful scenery.

"Hey, little lady, isn't it easy to spend money? Go to the game hall opposite, you can spend as much as you want" someone in the crowd spoke.

"No" The proprietor turned his head and glared at the crowd, it was really a big deal to see the excitement. The gambling hall, to put it nicely, is actually 'Liubo', which is gambling. A woman enters the casino, what kind of body has become!

"I think I can give it a try," Liu said. Liubo, he has seen that the guards in the palace were idle and had fun. Many powerful people also play it, and it is a very popular way to gamble.

"Madam" The proprietor glanced at Liu Chang sitting on the box, and didn't care about the words of a child, and tried to persuade him: "Liubo, the water is very deep, I advise Madame not to ......"

"Let's go!" Liu Ling listened to Liu Chang's agreement, and she was also interested. I originally came out to play, there is such a fun place, how can I let it go, greet Liu Chang and go out, ignoring the owner's kind reminder at all.

Liu Ling walked into the game hall and found that the entire hall was divided into dozens of small squares, and in each grid, two people or four people sat diagonally. Idlers were watching, and every now and then there was a word or 'Oh! The exclamation or the lament of the sigh.

Liu Ling's appearance, although it caused a lot of surprise, was also quickly calm, gambling money is more important than looking at beautiful women.

Liu Ling and Liu Chang both entered this kind of place for the first time, standing at the door, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Madame is here to find someone?" Seeing Liu Ling bring a child in, the person who ran the hall hurriedly came over to ask. This situation is not uncommon, the men of their own family come here to gamble, and the situation of being found by the two of them also happens from time to time, but the general situation is cloth clothes, like this kind of lady dressed in silk to find the door, I have not met it.

Liu Chang didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to hand out the horseshoe gold that couldn't be spent.

"Please follow me" The people who ran the hall were all clever people, and they immediately understood what Liu Chang meant, and brought the aunt and nephew into the inner hall.

An hour or so, when Liu Ling and Liu Chang returned to the Barbarian Mansion again, the owner and the shopkeeper were still there, they were waiting, not daring to leave, why, because Liu Ling's huge box was still stored in them, Liu Ling, at first glance, was a nobleman's outfit, and the owner did not dare to be careless about the box she deposited, in case something went wrong, they could not afford the consequences.

"Is this a win or a loss?" Seeing the sad and joyless faces of the aunt and nephew, the two really couldn't judge, but Liu Chang had an extra small wooden box in his hand, and the two thought to themselves: "I shouldn't have lost everything." ”

"Take it for yourselves." Liu Ling asked Liu Chang to put the small wooden box on the counter and said, "Two upper rooms." ”

"Okay ~ two rooms in the first room of the Tianzi number" The shopkeeper shouted loudly,

With a shout, a young man who looked like a guy ran over quickly.

When the guy arrived, he found that there was a small man under the counter, and this little man was dragging a large box. It's surprising for a woman to run all over the world, it's even more surprising for a beautiful woman to run all over the sky, and it's even more surprising for a beautiful woman to run all over the sky with a child.

"Excuse me, ma'am, this is... The guy hesitated and asked. If this noble lady said that he didn't know him, he made up his mind and immediately inserted it, where did the fart dare to blend into the high-end hotel, and at first glance he looked like a mud leg, covered in linen and coarse clothes.

"She is my mother" Liu Chang hurriedly declared, his aunt was covered in shining brands when she went out, and he didn't change his clothes. Auntie, auntie, you are really the eldest princess, you are three layers inside and three layers outside, why don't you remind me? Hey, I'll get those two maids back one day. Seeing that the lady did not refute, the shopkeeper acquiesced.

Enter the inner courtyard and walk towards the Tianzi on the second floor. Xiao Budian followed, holding a large box, and climbed to the second floor step by step. The guy didn't even look at him, just led the way in front, and Liu Chang scolded the shopkeeper eighty-eight times in his heart.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman of the Han Dynasty"

In the middle of the staircase, there were two men from Mary's countrymen, one bearded, the other young and handsome. The crappy Han Dynasty dialect came out of the unkempt black hair, and the speech was slurred, but the meaning was vividly expressed, it was the bearded uncle who was speaking. Look at your virtue, except for your eyes, your face is full of hair, and the monkey stands up straight and looks like a human than you.

The shopkeeper took the lead in getting out of the way, but Liu Ling didn't have this habit. The two people on the opposite side were also very interested, leaning to the side, but their eyes were still blocked in the middle of the road. Liu Ling had long ignored this high-profile phenomenon, stepped on the eyeballs jumping in front of her directly, and walked up. Maybe it hurt to be stepped on, the hairy monster rubbed his eyes with his hands, and threw the eyeballs from behind, and the eyeballs did not climb to the beautiful figure, but hit a huge box, and the eyeballs slipped off the box and fell on a small person.

"Madame, I'll help you carry the suitcase."

This is a good opportunity to be courteous, seeing that the box is not very heavy, the haired monster reached out and hugged it from above, but he actually stumbled and did not pick it up.

"I said big man, you said to help carry the suitcase, but you carried it." Liu Chang was under the box, standing still, of course it would be good to have someone to help with the work, this kind of good person is rare, and it can't be wasted.

It's too uncomfortable under the box, although the weight is not a problem, but the sky is too small, just the bottom of the box. When the box was moved from above, Xiao Liu Chang immediately ran from under and chased after his aunt. Free labor is not in vain, but they cannot wait for them to regret it. When the two carried the box to the room, the two almost doubted their lives. This box has at least two or three hundred catties, what is inside! What kind of person is that villain, who can lift such a heavy thing, even an adult. The two of them put the box on the ground, and they actually straightened up in unison and took a few breaths. Now their attention is no longer on the beautiful woman, the heavy box, but on this little slave with amazing strength, yes, they think Liu Chang is a slave.

This is a baby, the king of the gladiatorial arena, as long as you get this baby, you will no longer have to lie in the wind and snow in the future, run thousands of miles upside down, and you will have a lot of money at home. Be sure to buy this treasure from this beautiful slave owner, at any cost!

"Are you sure you want to buy me ... Slave? Liu Ling looked at Liu Chang, who was still a little bit with a smile in her eyes, but Liu Chang, who was a little bit of a little bit, had a black line on her face.

"Dear heroine, as long as you are willing to transfer, we will definitely give you a price that satisfies you." The two of them are well versed in the way of business, the real baby cannot be bargained, and the one who can bargain must not be the real baby.

"I'd like to hear what your price is to my satisfaction?" Liu Ling also came interested, staring at Liu Chang with happy eyes, she originally came out to relieve boredom and have fun, this fun came too fast, this fun was too big, and this fun was too cola.

"Madam, we are willing to pay a thousand gold" A thousand taels of gold is a thousand taels of gold, according to the weight at that time, it was 62.5 catties, which was much more than the weight of Liu Chang, who looked only five or six years old, and this price was a real price. According to the price of the slave market at that time, an adult strong male slave was only ten thousand dollars, which was one tael of gold.

"Hey, I said" Liu Chang hurriedly interjected, he couldn't go on like this, and if he continued like this, he was really sold by the catty, and walked to the handsome young man who was also kneeling on the couch, squatting, looking up at each other's eyes:

"You see, now, in the slave market, buy the best slave, but one or two gold, a thousand gold, you can buy eight or nine hundred. Not to mention that I'm still a child, even if I'm an adult, you wouldn't expect me to do the work of eight or nine hundred people alone, would you? In case I don't work alone, it is equivalent to eight or nine hundred people who don't work, thanks to you, I think you must be reluctant to kill me, it's too expensive. "Liu Chang is careful and enlightened, and he is also responsible for the buyer, no, we are from the Han Dynasty, even if we are so educated, we are so understanding.

"I'm willing to let you work, you're a baby" Before the young man could speak, the bearded furry monster hurriedly spoke.

"We have gladiatorial arenas in Rome, and you are a natural gladiator. You must not know what a gladiator is, it is the world of the brave in the world, the palace of the strong. Think about it, when all the opponents fall at your feet, and hundreds of thousands of people around you cheer for you and go crazy for you, you are the ruler of this fast heaven and earth, and you are the king of the palace. ”

His beard was shaking with excitement, and saliva was squirting through the thick hairs and splashing onto the ground. Although Liu Chang didn't squat across from him, he still moved his body to the side, for fear that saliva would spray on his body. Thousands of miles away, the big flicker, not far to the Han Dynasty, fooling the young heart of the Han Dynasty. What kind of spirit is this, this is the highest state of flickering, the international flickering.

"You are the king of the strong, your brilliance should shine on every corner of the gladiatorial arena, there is your heaven and earth, you are destined to become an idol in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, you should stand in the middle of the gladiatorial arena to receive flowers and cheers, and you should not be buried in obscurity in the land of the great Han."

To be honest, after the flickering storm, Liu Chang was really a little moved. The topic must be reversed, and it cannot go on like this. If it goes on like this, Liu Chang is worried that he will sell himself without his aunt to speak, and he still doesn't want money.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Is what he said true, you're not trafficking in human beings, are you? "To open a breakthrough, you have to start with this young man.

"Dear madam, we are waiting for your reply" The young man didn't pay attention to Liu Chang, but bowed and muttered a lot, and then the bearded man asked Liu Ling directly. A slave is just a slave, no matter how expensive a slave is, he is also a slave, and the slave trade does not have to ask the slave's opinion. The value of this slave was in Rome and not here, and he was confident in his bid.

"Three, what do you think of the price?" Liu Ling also ignored the young man, but asked Liu Chang with a covetous expression on his face:

"It's a small amount of money to me, but it's better than nothing. You should be satisfied, too, you are worth more than gold. ”

"Madame"

Before Liu Chang could react, the young man stood up with anger on his face,

"Does the trade of slaves in your country require the consent of the slaves themselves? You can refuse to trade, but I also refuse to be humiliated. Please pay attention to the etiquette and demeanor of being a nobleman. After listening to the bearded man's remarks, the young man let the bearded man convey his anger, then turned around and walked out of the house.
