089 Do You Sell or Not (Ask for a Commuter Pass)
The boy who was not yet ten years old, skinny and skinny, and in the cold of early spring, he did not even have a single body cover.
With his little black hands clenched into fists, he sat in a crowded cage with a group of boys about his age, his head bowed, dodging the pointing of pedestrians on both sides of the street.
The boy's cheeks were bitten tightly, and his body was covered with whip marks, which looked even more terrifying than the children next to him.
Perhaps, it was his instinctive reluctance to give in, which is why he received more attention and abuse than other "well-behaved" children.
Xu Yue suddenly remembered the clever little boy who was looking for taro behind him in the mountains of Shanyang County.
At that time, he followed her with a heavy wood knife in his hand, anxiously trying to find food to fill his stomach.
When he received her acquiescence, he smiled happily, as if he saw hope, and his clear eyes were full of radiance.
But now, his eyes dimmed, and he didn't lift a single glance at her.
Wang Dayou was already anxious, but this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a large slave caravan, looking at the fierce guards, and the steward-looking man who walked at the forefront with a scar on his face, he raised his feet and instinctively wanted to retreat.
However, before he could muster up the courage, the brother and sister standing in front of him had already walked out.
"Wait!"
A crisp girl's voice came from behind her.
The man with the scar on the horse looked back in surprise and saw a little girl of six or seven years old, riding on the shoulders of his brother, and the brother and sister walked towards him together.
Finally, stop in front of his black steed.
Riding on her brother's shoulder, the girl's line of sight was exactly at his level.
For some reason, the horse's hoof, which was about to move forward, suddenly took two steps back, and the horse showed uneasy emotions and snorted irritably.
And strangely, the horse's head turned sideways as if on purpose, and struck its nose at the guard who was following the scarred man, avoiding the brother and sister standing directly in front of it.
"I'm going to buy your slave!"
Xu Yue spoke, speaking clearly, and her immature face was facing the scar man, conveying to him that she was serious, not a child's joke.
Looking at the pink and tender female doll in front of him, the man with the scar raised his hand suspiciously and touched the scar on his face, but he was not frightened by his appearance?
"Huh~" The scar man sneered and raised his hand to stop the team.
He carefully looked at the pair of brothers and sisters in front of him who dared to stop his advance, and was surprised to find that he, who could scare away the most fierce robbers, had no deterrent power in front of these brothers and sisters.
He raised an eyebrow and asked amusedly, "Do you know who I am?" Dare to buy my slaves, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you two as slaves together? ”
When the two brothers and sisters first appeared, he thought it was the young lady of the family, but now that he looked, there was not even a retinue behind the two of them, only a middle-aged man who looked like a neighbor's uncle.
And this man is afraid to even meet his gaze, how can this brother and sister be Miss Shijia?
The Scar Man admits that he just wants to scare the two little kids and see how they react.
I thought that these two people would at least show a hint of retreat, but they didn't expect that his teasing behavior made Xu Yue more determined to buy Wang Youliang.
Xu Dalang looked at the horse's belly even more coldly, if it weren't for Xu Yue's little hand on his head, he would be able to make the human man in front of him fall off the horse now!
Xu Yue pointed to the people on the street and said, "I don't know who you are, but I heard them say that you are a slave trader, so I came to buy slaves from you, do you sell them or not?" ”
Xu Yue didn't answer his later question, because her current attitude was the answer, and she wasn't afraid that he would take their brother and sister as slaves at all.
As long as the scar man dares to catch her, without her doing it herself, her brother can tear him apart.
Anyway, they have long been accustomed to the routine of running away, and they will run if they grab it, and they have nothing to fear!
This reaction was completely unexpected by the scar man, he was stunned for a moment, and then tentatively pointed to the slave behind him and asked:
"Which one do you want?"
He is a businessman, of course he has to do business, not to mention, this little girl is a little interesting, he also wants to see how she can get the money to buy slaves at her young age.
The entourage next to him was speechless at the sudden interest of the master's family, and there were still many slaves who had not entered the city, so they suddenly stopped, and the ones behind had to wait.
When the time comes, the guards of the city will come to ask for the crime, and a few large sums of money will definitely be indispensable.
The entourage looked helpless, and almost said directly: Losers!
Xu Yue was relieved when she saw that the scar man agreed, she was really afraid that this wholesale vendor would not only sell.
However, she could also see that Scar Man was clearly preparing to slaughter her.
Xu Yue glanced over to the cage and asked, "Can I go over and pick it?" ”
She looked confused and aimless.
The scar man bowed his head and gave his entourage a look, "Go ahead, pick well, it's better to pick a few more, the more the cheaper." ”
The entourage sighed helplessly again, but there was no way, and impatiently motioned for Xu Yue's brothers and sisters to go over with him.
The little girl stopped the slave trader on the street to buy slaves, which caused quite a stir in Yi Jing, who had not much entertainment.
As the convoy stopped, more and more passers-by gathered next to it, and everyone took it as a pleasure.
But for those slaves who stay in the cage, it is a chance to escape the clutches!
Xu Yue asked her brother to put herself on the ground, Xu Dalang refused, Xu Yue had no choice but to continue to sit on her brother's shoulder, condescendingly looking at the slaves in the cage.
The scar man's entourage urged impatiently: "Hurry up, the city gate is still blocked, and you can't afford to delay the business of the master's family!" ”
I don't want to, as soon as the words fell, I met the young man's cold eyes, and in those eyes, there was no trace of human emotion, as if he wanted to swallow him!
The attendant was shocked, and the chill climbed up his back from the soles of his feet, and jumped straight to the heavenly spirit cover, so cold that he couldn't help shivering.
What a terrible look!
He smacked his tongue secretly, and although his expression was still so impatient, his mouth was closed in amusement.
"Sister chooses slowly." Xu Dalang said softly to the villain above his head, and the previous indifference was like the two of them, and he was stunned for a while.
Xu Yue bowed her head and instructed her brother to continue to move forward, and after walking through each cage, she stopped in front of the last cage full of boys, and casually pointed to a question and asked:
"How much does he cost?"
When the familiar girl's voice sounded beside him, Wang Youliang, who lowered his head, was in a trance for a moment.
He seemed to hear the voice of the young lady of the Xu family......
