Chapter 57: The Cursed Slave

In the early morning, the sun has not yet fully risen.

In the morning mist, Su Xiangxiang left the grass house with three spars and some wild fruits.

It's her fifth day at the house.

No orcs even passed by.

She could have fled the place as soon as she arrived.

But thinking of the fox's smiling face, I unconsciously stayed for a few more days.

If Ye Qiu really wanted to persecute Su Xiangxiang, he would not leave her a few days to escape.

Su Xiangxiang wanted to see him again, but she waited for a few days.

Not wanting to delay any longer, she had to leave with food.

Su Xiangxiang didn't know where she was, so she walked in a straight line in one direction all day.

It wasn't until the fruit in the package had eaten seven or eight minutes that she saw a few orcs.

Su Xiangxiang checked her outfit, still like a tomboy, and the smell on her body was covered by herbs.

She stepped forward to inquire and learned from passers-by that she was now completely away from the snowy mountains.

Even the fastest orcs need seven full days, day and night, to return to the snowy mountains.

Half a day further on, there is a bazaar.

The market is surrounded by several villages of different races, so the market is a mixed bag, with orcs of different races selling a variety of items every day at noon.

Su Xiangxiang thanked her briefly and walked to the nearest forest.

It was getting late, and she planned to go to the forest to make some preparations before going to the market to trade.

For nearly five days, Su Xiangxiang made a home in a small tree hole in the woods.

There also seems to be scarlet pollution in this forest, so Su Xiangxiang set traps around it, and she can hunt some red bone beasts or animals every day.

Su Xiangxiang made a bone knife for herself from animal bones, and cramped and skinned the dead wild boar to make a bow and arrow.

With the previous experience of making weapons for the curtain tops, Su Xiangxiang became much more proficient this time.

The bone knife of Bai Huahua is made of sewn animal skin as a scabbard and hangs from the waist.

Su Xiangxiang made a quiver out of wicker, and hung it behind her back along with the bow and arrow.

She took a lot of sticks from the woods, sharpened the tops, and used them as arrows, and bundled the excess into bundles, and put them in the hollows of the trees.

After staying in the forest for a few days, Su Xiangxiang saved more than a dozen spars by setting up exquisite traps.

plus the ones brought out before, a total of more than 20 yuan.

After getting ready, Su Xiangxiang went to bed early, looking forward to the next day's market trip.

……………………

The next day, at noon, the sun was shining.

Su Xiangxiang walked in the orc market with a leather bag around her waist, and the bag contained a sharp bone knife and more than twenty spars.

This was the first time she had seen a small bazaar since she came to the beast world.

Su Xiangxiang observed the surroundings curiously as she walked.

The orcs who came to sell were of different appearances, and their stalls kept a few meters away from each other, not interfering with each other.

There are black-haired orcs who are enthusiastically selling in thick voices, and the stalls are lined with burnt yellow bananas.

No matter how you look at it, it's like a chimpanzee.

There were also cloaked, cold and gloomy orcs, alone in the corner, with small stone jars on the stalls, and I don't know what was inside.

Throughout the market, there are all kinds of orcs selling hides, prey, and fruits.

Su Xiangxiang even saw a few shirtless males gathered together, and there was nothing on the stall, just when the beautiful females walked by, they put on various poses that made people blush, and shouted to attract attention.

Some females will walk briskly with their heads bowed and blushing, while some bold females will walk forward unhurriedly, looking up and down the figures of several males, and those who are satisfied will leave directly with the males.

And some short females will be rejected by the strong males and leave in disgrace.

Su Xiangxiang watched it for a long time before she realized that these males were openly looking for a partner for themselves!

She shook her head amusedly and walked slowly.

After strolling around the market for a while, Su Xiangxiang saw a different stall.

The other stalls sell a variety of food and supplies.

And this stall, which is sold, is orcs.

Three tall orcs stood in front of the stall, holding a dozen ropes in their hands.

At the other end of the rope, several orcs were tied to their necks.

The orcs who were tied to their necks were covered in rags and scarred.

They crouched listlessly on the ground, looking down at the ground.

Among them were men and women, with very different hair colors and body types, and the only thing they had in common was that they all had an ugly symbol on their bodies, which seemed to have been deliberately carved into them.

Some of the orcs even had a little pus and blood coming out of their wounds, but they didn't feel the pain at all, and they crouched on the ground in a daze.

The orcs who sold them were holding a rope, a blood-stained thorn, and an enthusiastic seller.

This is...... Slave trade?

Su Xiangxiang observed for a long time, but decided to step forward and take a look.

While she was observing, the chimpanzee orc holding the rope had already noticed Su Xiangxiang.

When she stepped forward, a pair of dark eyes glanced disdainfully, looked away, pursed her mouth, and did not intend to talk.

Su Xiangxiang was not annoyed, bowed slightly, and observed these orcs up close.

As far as the eye could see, almost all the orcs on the ground were skinny and skinny, and they circled themselves in fear.

Only her long unkempt hair attracted Su Xiangxiang's attention.

It could be seen that the owner of the long hair had a large skeleton, sitting in the corner of a bunch of orcs, still prominently protruding.

And his back is also the thinnest of all the slaves.

From behind, the protruding spine on the curved spine is clearly visible, and countless interlaced wounds make the slender back look like a rough sandpaper.

Half of his back was covered with gray hair.

But if you look closely, you will find that his hair is not a dirty gray, but a pure milky white.

"Have you seen enough? Don't mess with it, kids! An impatient drive was heard.

Su Xiangxiang was driven back two steps by the big hand that came to pick up, and the spectators who came to pick next to her sneered, grabbed ahead of her, and beat a rope from the chimpanzee orc.

An emaciated female was staggered to her feet, and the male threw down a few hedrons, turned his head and dragged the female away.

The chimpanzee orc smiled and put away the spar, turned his gaze to Su Xiangxiang, and immediately changed his face.

"What do you look at the poor boy? Believe it or not, I turned you into a slave too? ”

When the other two orcs heard this, they threw up their heads and laughed.

"Human males, weak are a little weaker, but there are still some females who don't have long eyes like them, maybe they are really sold out hahaha!"

Su Xiangxiang's face changed slightly, but she didn't get angry on the spot, but stepped forward generously and pointed at the gray-haired orc, "I'm here to buy slaves, I want him." ”

The orc who was spotted by Su Xiangxiang trembled slightly, revealing his eyes from the small gap between his arms, and looked at the source of the sound incredulously.

Su Xiangxiang happened to look over and looked at each other.

It was a pair of incomparably clean and timid sky-blue eyes, like the water of a lake on the heavenly pond, blue and refreshing.

In an instant, the orc buried his head in his arm again.

A shrill laugh erupted in his ears, "Hahahaha, it's up to you?" We lowly orcs want three high-quality spars, can you take them? ”

The three slave traders smiled and leaned back together, attracting the attention of many people in the bazaar.

Su Xiangxiang was still unfazed in the face of naked ridicule, and asked lightly, "How many hedrons do you need for the best orcs here?" ”

The chimpanzee orc was stunned by the question, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He hates the little white-faced male of humans the most on weekdays, obviously he has no ability at all, and he can win the favor of a group of females just by virtue of his skin.

"Ten hedrons!" The chimpanzee orc looked at Su Xiangxiang gloatingly.

Ten spars, even a strong orc may not be willing to pay for them, let alone this poor little white face.

"Okay."

Su Xiangxiang responded lightly, and took out ten spars from the bag, one of which was still in front of the chimpanzee.

If it's that orc, ten hedrons, it must be worth it.

Ten hedrons lay on the ground, and not only the three slave traders were dumbfounded, but all around them looked at them in disbelief.

How did a human male get so many spars?

Su Xiangxiang's eyes were always indifferent, she looked at the rope on the orc, reached out to the chimpanzee, and took the one that belonged to her.

The chimpanzee looked at the hedron and was stunned, not noticing that the rope in his hand was briskly missing.

The gray-haired orc huddled on his knees, curled up on the ground, and although he kept his self-closing movements, his ears involuntarily pricked up, listening carefully to all the sounds around him.

Would anyone really want to buy him, a cursed orc?

He had been sold to slave traders for several years, and each time a buyer learned of his race, he would leave with a look of disgust.

It is also for this reason that the slave traders are particularly harsh on him.

His whole life was spent in contempt and disgust.

This time, maybe it's just a change of buyer, and his life won't change.

Suddenly, he felt the rope around his neck move slightly, as if a force was pulling him to his feet.

He looked up sluggishly, and saw a short man tugging at the other end of the rope, and his big amber eyes were looking at him steadily, as if to say silently, Come with me.

Demonistically, the gray-haired slave lifted his stiff legs, and his joints even creaked.

The amber ones looked up at him as he got up.

Unlike anyone I've seen before, these eyes are pure and real, without a hint of personal emotion.

He felt as if for the first time in his life he had been looked at by a person without any emotion.

The thick wall at the bottom of my heart invisibly cracked a crack.

Hope, which even he himself had not perceived, slowly permeated his entire heart.

The tall, thin body was like a long stick insect, swaying in the wind, and one stumbled, almost falling on top of the slave in front of him.

A short figure suddenly approached and held him strongly, and the slender five fingers pressed against his withered arm, and there was a flustered temperature.

The gray-haired slave panicked and avoided Su Xiangxiang's support, staggered out of the slave pile, lowered his head, and held the place he had just touched with one hand.
