Fifty-five, a blessing that only weighs five buckets of rice (cheeky to ask for a wave of tickets!) )
Slaves also have three, six, nine, and so on.
Undoubtedly, it is determined by the value.
The maids who were just called to the front hall by Shopkeeper Li have exclusive houses, and even Kunlun slaves have them, because Kunlun slaves are also very expensive, and even if they have a talent such as swimming, it will be more expensive than a "semi-thin", and the death of one is enough for Shopkeeper Li to hurt for a long time.
These are the treatments of high slaves.
In the open-air backyard, dirty iron cages are piled on the ground or stacked on top of each other, occupying most of the aisles in the yard.
It was also here that Ouyang Rong saw the ruthlessness behind the glamour of this Jinxiaokou Ma Xing.
The people locked up in the iron cage were all old, weak, sick and disabled ordinary slaves, or missing arms and short legs, or ugly and strange faces, or seriously ill, all of them were strange foreign faces, and Ouyang Rong couldn't recognize them all.
No wonder it was the guests who picked the rest, and before they were about to be transported to the middle of nowhere and exerted the last trace of residual heat, Jinxiaokou Horse Store returned Ouyang Rong, the last guest, to a big dumping of the season:
The unit price of the whole field is less than 200 yuan.
You can buy at a loss, and you can be fooled.
And Ouyang Rong saw "her" in such an environment.
Her iron cage was squeezed into one of the most marginal positions closest to the open space in the courtyard.
This also means that the eaves in the corridor can't cover her only small home, and the heavy rain last night has just stopped in the morning, and the morning sun has just risen from the east, diagonally through the eaves, and it can't fall on her wet body, but the water on the eaves is dripping down her long hair, and she doesn't move at all, as if she is numb.
Until a slender figure broke into this wet black shadow from the early sun in the courtyard.
"Squeak~" sound
The sound of the iron cage rubbing against the ground.
Ouyang Rong felt that the iron cage in his hand was not heavy, even if there was a girl inside.
And was dragged into the sun in the middle of the yard with a cage, and she raised her head in fright, like a rabbit that had just woken up.
Although it was quickly buried again, Ouyang Rong still caught a glimpse of that little face.
Thanks to the rain from the eaves, the face and hair are cleaner.
And then in the warm sun, Ouyang Rong saw it more clearly.
He wasn't mistaken.
Ouyang Rong turned his head to look at the little steward who followed behind him, the latter had a strange face, and quickly nodded and replied to him:
"Xiao Langjun, if it's this little slave girl...... Don't want 200 wen, 50 wen should be enough. ”
"Fifty wen?" Ouyang Rong couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!"
The little steward's answer was categorical.
However, his eyes at Ouyang Rong became more and more strange, and Ouyang Rong looked down at the caged slave in the sun, and then he glanced at the little steward with a strange look.
The two of them seemed to have strayed into the Beitian Sanatorium of Donglin Temple at the same time, and their eyes were very similar when they looked at each other.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
The little steward seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, and hurriedly said: "If it's too expensive, you can lower it even lower, and forty wen is not impossible." ”
Why is the price still reduced?
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but bow his head and fell into deep thought.
The little steward quietly looked at his face, and said without moving:
"This little slave girl...... The shopkeeper is going to transport it to some remote towns in the south to see if there are any private rituals that need to be used for sacrifices......"
"How can human sacrifice be performed? Those are all obscenity, demagoguery of the people, and the government prohibits it! ”
Ouyang Rong frowned and interrupted, paused, pointed to the iron cage and said seriously:
"Then I'll buy it, it's fifty yuan, no discount......"
If he takes another discount, he is afraid that his conscience will hurt.
Ouyang Rong said solemnly: "But you Jinxiaokou Horse Shop is not allowed to do this kind of behavior that promotes obscenity, otherwise you will wait for the official to come and seal the store." ”
"You have to have it." The little steward nodded hurriedly, and he sneered, "The main thing is that it's too special, and we can't think of anything else except for that use." ”
Ouyang Rong didn't say anything more, he didn't delay, and immediately went to call Zhen, half-thin and straight-faced Li Yan to the backyard.
The young county commander pointed to the small iron cage, lowered his head and clenched his fist to cover his mouth:
"Ahem, that's it...... That's it. ”
As soon as he finished saying this sentence, which he himself blushed a little in, Ouyang Rong suddenly found that the whole world seemed to be quiet.
All eyes were on him.
Li Yan, who was still a little unhappy, had a very wonderful expression on his face at the moment.
As for Zhen and Ban Xi, their eyes widened.
Only Liu Ashan, looking at him from the beginning of the stunned, to the current ...... More and more admiration.
Ouyang Rong looked directly at them and asked seriously, "You... Why are you looking at me like that? ”
Li Yan turned his head and sighed at Zhen: "The eldest lady is honest and does not deceive me, and my nephew's vision is indeed a little bit...... High. ”
Zhen pointed to the little female slave in the cage and said incredulously: "Why did Tan Lang buy this kind of slave?" This head of gray hair...... Is it an old woman or a girl? ”
Li Yan immediately clarified: "Girl, it's definitely a girl, she is only cardamom old, don't worry about the eldest lady, but it may be a little juvenile haha, but it's definitely healthy, it's just a little thinner, but the amount of food is small, saving food, you can let her work more...... If Xiao Langjun likes it, rest assured to take it. ”
The big food merchant smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, but if it was compared with the thin neck skin of the caged girl who was washed clean by the rain, it looked yellow again.
Zhen glared at him angrily, "Of course you are happy to sell such an ominous thing to Tan Lang!" ”
"Absolutely not."
Li Yan waved his hand and said matter-of-factly:
"The contemptible family has been trading for so many years, and it is the first time to see this kind of white-haired barbarian girl...... It's Linglang's discernment! ”
Zhen's face was expressionless, "But Shopkeeper Li only sells fifty wen." ”
Li Yan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Make a friend." ”
The more she looked at it, the worse she became, her right eyelid jumped wildly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Where did you find this...... Valuables? ”
Li Yan wanted to make a haha, but Ouyang Rong cast a curious look, the origin of this commodity is detailed, and the buyer and seller have to explain it clearly, and the big food merchant who talks about the rules has to shrug his shoulders helplessly:
"The goods of a friend of the Great Food Country, he went to a place further west than the Great Food Country, and by chance he caught a group of barbarians, blonde and blue-eyed, and the friend felt that this kind of slave could make a lot of money in the Great Zhou Empire, so he traveled thousands of miles to Haiyi Road to Guangzhou City to sell, and then ......
"That's it, the business is not very good, and then I met a gang of thieves who robbed all the property in the north, so he gave me the only little slave girl left, and received the money to go back to the big food country, and it seems that he will never do this kind of business again."
Li Yan sighed and shook his head again:
"This little slave girl was born to one of the pregnant brute girls, and it stands to reason that she should have blonde hair, but it's strange, and I don't know what kind of it is, how did she grow a white ......hair," he changed his words smartly, "what about silver hair?" It's a bit of a pity. ”
Zhen was speechless, and in a word: "The thieves even robbed around this white-headed barbarian, right?" Everything else has been snatched back to the cottage, and you don't dare to grab this ominous thing? ”
Li Yan sneered, and said with high emotional intelligence: "It's a silver-haired barbarian, a silver-haired barbarian, hahaha." ”
In fact, the big food merchant also thinks that this silver-haired barbarian girl is a bit of a little evil, anyway, on weekdays, everyone in the backyard doesn't treat this silver-haired barbarian very much, whether it is a steward or a slave, or he, the shopkeeper, they all dislike and exclude her, and don't want to get too close.
However, this silver-haired barbarian girl is also hard-lived, and she has survived to this day, although she is not very thin, but in fact, their treatment is too good, Li Yan felt that he couldn't help sighing, mainly because the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty had corresponding protection for the lives of slaves, and the city officials who managed the horse shops at the corner of this street would check the food and injuries of the slaves every morning and evening.
Li Yan felt a little distressed when he thought of the skyrocketing food prices these days, and the high-priced food eaten by low-level slaves such as the silver-haired barbarian girls in the backyard.
After listening to Li Yan's words just now, Ouyang Rong looked down at the buried girl in the iron cage, his face was thoughtful.
A certain big food merchant regained his familiarity, as if he was afraid that someone would regret it, so he took the initiative to talk enthusiastically:
"If Lang Jun wants it, I will release her to be cleaned, and then I will notify the city order, come over as a witness, and set up a city bond contract."
"Okay." Ouyang Rong didn't raise his head.
Li Yan immediately looked at the little steward, who left tacitly and went out to look for the city order.
He took another bunch of keys from Kunlun Nu and opened the iron cage of the silver-haired barbarian girl.
Ouyang Rong squatted down and helped her untie the rope in her hand, and the silver-haired barbarian buried her face between her knees, not daring to look at people.
These wet little hands were very cold, and although it was already late at the moment, they were covered with chilblains, and they felt like doorknobs in winter, or made of iron bumps.
The young magistrate covered it with his big warm hand, and "it" shrank in fright, and he let go.
Li Yan summoned a rough woman, pulled the silver-haired brute girl up, and took her to the laundry room next door to clean it.
Ouyang Rong retracted his gaze, turned his head and said:
"Auntie help me pay fifty wen in advance."
Zhen said softly and euphemistically: "Tan Lang, my uncle doesn't like this very much, we are here to choose a maid today, not to do good." ”
A big food merchant reminded in a timely manner: "It's not impossible to pay for food." ”
Zhen turned his head expressionlessly, and Li Yan hurriedly avoided his gaze.
Ouyang Rong glanced at Liu Ashan, who tacitly put down the rice bag and handed it to the Kunlun slave who stepped forward to take it, this dark and sturdy slave tried it with a scale, opened the bag and checked it, and honestly reported the number:
"Sixty catties, five buckets of rice."
Li Yan nodded, "According to the price of rice in the West Market before noon, it will be more, but I still have to share the cost of asking the city order to issue a market bill......"
He pinched his fingers and counted, and finally took the two copper coins from Kunlun Nu, and then handed them out, "Yu Liangwen, return Langjun." ”
Ouyang Rong took it casually and suddenly asked:
"You all think...... She's ugly? ”
Li Yan took the lead in boasting: "It's quite chic." ”
Liu Ashan nodded: "The old man is kind-hearted." ”
Half-thin muttered, "Freak." ”
Zhen's ...... didn't speak, looking at Tan Lang's eyes with some resentment, the kind that can't be coaxed.
The rough woman will bring the silver-haired brute back again.
This time, the silver-haired brute girl changed into a neat coarse linen dress, no longer dirty, but her wet hair was dripping down.
She lowered her head and stepped into the sun, as if it were very cold, shivering, and was carried to a scale by the rough working woman.
The big food merchant skillfully shouted: "Weigh up!" ”
It seems to be a convention, and the two Kunlun slaves picked up a hanging scale one after the other to weigh people.
The big food merchant glanced at it and joked loudly: "Coincidentally, Lang Jun, the slave weighs sixty, and the price is the same as rice!" ”
The young county magistrate ignored it, pulled out a towel, walked straight up, faced each other, and personally wiped the wet and long hair of the silver-haired barbarian.
Under the sun, the girl's appearance is delicate:
The delicate body under the coarse cloth skirt is slender, and the skin from the thin neck to the collarbone is delicate and white like milk, but it is ischemic due to long-term malnutrition;
He has straight straight silver hair, long hair that reaches to his waist, with a hint of blonde in the sun;
The small nose bridge is high and upturned, the eye sockets are slightly deep, and the small face is deep but soft and smooth compared to the orchid of the Western Regions. The facial features are delicate and small, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the pink lips are a little gray and frozen.
In particular, she also has a pair of big eyes with misty gray and blue pupils, and at the moment she is looking at the calm man who is carefully wiping her hair in the sun......
No matter how the silver-haired barbarian girl looks, she looks like a delicate and noble white-haired Lori and a beautiful embryo.
Is it good-looking?
He exchanged a bag of rice for it.
