The golden crow rose and fell.

Towards evening, the team of Weiyuan Dart Bureau finally saw Matou Town.

This is a town that is different from the mainland, it has no city walls, no tall buildings, all the houses are all the same only one floor, arranged in a disorderly manner, it does not look like a county seat, it is clearly a small town.

The gate is also very rudimentary, with a beam between two logs, on which is the skull of a horse, and there is not even a word.

Wang Cheng sat on the flatbed truck, and he felt like he was back in Mixi Town.

"Hey! Don't look at it, it's not simple, there are masters of the rivers and lakes, wealthy families, exotic races, anyway, there are all kinds of people. ”

Zhang Laosan approached Wang Cheng and said obscenely: "This is a good place!" Engong is here for the first time, and the third child will take you around. ”

"Is it the same as Huangyuan County, and you can't forget it for the rest of your life?" Wang Cheng gagged him.

Zhang Laosan's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he slapped his face with a "snap", and said, "Look at my brain, it's really good to forget the pain of the scar." ”

Wang Cheng shook his head, if he hadn't entered the door of the proprietress with Zhang Laosan that night, maybe they would have arrived here a long time ago, where would the later things happen.

That experience...... Hey, it's really a lifetime of never forgetting.

Zhang Laosan thought that Wang Cheng was dissatisfied with him, and hurriedly swore to the sky: "Engong, I promise you that this dart will be sent to the master's house, and the third will leave the next day!" ”

Wang Cheng didn't bother with him, and said, "Enter the city!" ”

A few hundred meters away, Matou Town is still small, and when I really got closer, I found that it was really big.

Entering the city, the smell of urine from horses, cows, and sheep came to his face, which was a disaster for Wang Cheng, whose sense of smell was as sensitive as a dog's nose.

He tore off a piece of cloth and covered his nose, and he felt a little better.

It was nearly six o'clock in the evening, but the red sun in the west was still hanging high.

Matou Town is still bustling, and the dirty streets are full of people.

Horses can be seen everywhere, horses of various coat colors, and people are dazzled to watch.

Zhang Laosan led the convoy very slowly, and from time to time a horse seller came up to sell his horse to him.

"That's how many horses are there?" Wang Cheng was a little surprised, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene.

Zhang Laosan said: "Hey! There are more horses than people here, and who doesn't have dozens or hundreds of horses? If you leave it with us, a horse will cost you at least a hundred taels of silver, and here you can buy one for ten taels of silver. ”

"Ten taels of silver a horse?" Wang Cheng was indeed shocked.

For six yuan a gram of silver, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for three thousand yuan, how can such a small amount of money buy a horse?

"Of course, this money can't buy any good horses, and good horses are not sold here, they are all controlled by those local wealthy businessmen!" Zhang Laosan explained.

"This uncle, a good horse, travels eight hundred miles a day, if you take a fancy to it, give a hundred gold, no! Fifty gold is fine! ”

Another peddler led a big red horse and stepped forward to sell it.

"Cangchang!"

Zhang Laosan pulled out the big knife resting on the horse's back and said angrily: "Get out!" Get out of here! Are you fucking blind? Lao Tzu is a dart walker, and he has a horse farm at home, so he wants your lame horse? ”

The peddler laughed twice, shrunk his neck, and quickly led the horse away.

Zhang Laosan snorted coldly, turned back to Wang Cheng and said, "You have to be ruthless when dealing with these people, otherwise they will stick to you like a dog skin plaster, endlessly." ”

Wang Cheng didn't say anything, he didn't like these people very much, although he wouldn't hurt you, but he would delay you in doing things.

Sure enough, after Zhang Laosan showed his knife, those horse sellers really didn't dare to get any closer.

The convoy was finally able to move normally.

In addition to horse sellers, there are also many cattle and sheep sellers on the streets, and there are even people who sell people.

A dozen men in tattered clothes, tied with ropes around their necks and a straw in their hair, were placed on the shelves like livestock.

Wang Cheng couldn't see this the most, so he took out a piece of gold, threw it to the traffickers, and said, "I bought them!" ”

The trafficker looked at the gold ingots that weighed at least two or two, and his face with a small half pockmark was suddenly excited.

"Is it enough?" Wang Cheng asked.

The trafficker bit the gold ingot, and when he saw that it was true, his head knocked like pounding garlic, and said, "Enough is enough!" ”

"What about their deeds of sale?" Wang Cheng reached out to the traffickers to ask for it.

Although the deed of sale is not good, it is a symbol of their status, which records their birth, age and other information.

If the deed of sale is accidentally lost, they will become homeless and unregistered. Whether it is in the Great Zhou Dynasty or other countries, there is no difference between the displaced people and the livestock, or even the animals, and no one cares about their life or death.

The trafficker hurriedly took out a wad of paper from his arms, and then ran away with gold in his mouth, for fear that Wang Cheng would regret it.

Seeing this, Zhang Laosan said with a confused expression: "Engong, why did you buy so many slaves?" If there is anything to tell my third child, I will ensure that it is done properly for you. ”

Wang Cheng's next sentence made him even more confused, and he said to a dozen slaves: "From now on, you are no longer slaves, you are all free." ”

More than a dozen people raised their faces without the slightest anger, their eyes glazed, as if they couldn't understand what Wang Cheng was saying.

Zhang Laosan understood, and half-jokingly: "Engong, you can't spend too much money, right?" Why don't you give the third child a little more time? ”

"Fuck off!"

Wang Cheng scolded him without any pain, jumped off the flatbed, stuffed the pile of deed of sale into the hands of a shorter slave, and said to them, "Take this contract home." ”

Believing that it was not a dream, a dozen people snatched the deed of sale from the short slave and ran away.

"Engong, are you really here?" Zhang Laosan found it difficult to understand Wang Cheng's approach.

It is ridiculous to say that he is naïve, but he also shows a resourcefulness beyond ordinary people; He is said to be a woman, but he is brave and strong, which makes people feel terrible.

What kind of person is this?

Wang Cheng didn't explain anything, he said "let's go", and the person jumped back to the flatbed.

Zhang Laosan shook his head secretly and continued to lead the convoy forward.

After a few hundred meters, the convoy turned left into an alley and stopped in front of a mansion.

Zhang Laosan looked at this mansion and said with relief: "Damn! It's finally delivered! ”

He has really experienced too much along the way, and it is more thrilling than any of his previous darts, if it weren't for Wang Cheng's shot, he would have died a long time ago.

He bowed solemnly to Wang Cheng: "Engong, Lao Tzu, I am a rough person, and I can't say beautiful words." This time, without your help, the third family would have to be used as cattle and horses. From now on, as long as you have something to do with the third child, just say it, if the third child frowns, damn it, it's not ...... to have a son."

"That's it!"

Wang Cheng hurriedly blocked Zhang Laosan and said, "Since the dart has been delivered, I should also go." ”

He jumped off the flatbed truck as he spoke, and then walked away without looking back.

Zhang Laosan watched Wang Cheng's figure gradually disappear into the alley, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Boss, everyone is gone." One of the brothers approached him and said.

"Lao Tzu knows that people are gone!"

Zhang Laosan was stunned, and then said in a complicated tone: "You say, is Lao Tzu too petty." ”

"What do you mean?" The humanity,

Zhang Laosan said: "There was once a splash of wealth in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it when I lost it, and the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than this." ”

"I don't understand!"

"Of course you don't understand, if you do, you should sit in the position of Lao Tzu's head dart!"

……

Out of the alley, Wang Cheng came to the street again, and after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and grabbed a person.

This man was only one meter tall and in his early fours, wearing tattered clothes, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and he didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet.

"It's you!"

Wang Cheng recognized this person as the short slave he had bought earlier.

I didn't look closely before, but when I got closer, I realized that it was a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Because of malnutrition, the little boy was thin and small, and his arms were so thin that only skin and bones remained, but his eyes still looked a little smart.

Wang Cheng put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Why are you following me?" Didn't I let you go? ”

"Poof!"

He knelt on the ground, his head slammed on the ground, crying and saying, "Please don't drive me away, I will do anything, just let me be by your side." ”

"Get up!"

Wang Cheng lifted him up from the ground, looked into his eyes and said, "Remember! Don't just kneel down to someone! ”

The little boy seemed very frightened and nodded his head.

Wang Cheng let go of the hand that was pinching his shoulder and said, "Tell me, why do you want to follow me?" ”

"I ...... I don't know where to go. The little boy's tears flowed down his face.

"What about your parents?" Wang Cheng asked.

The little boy said, "I don't have parents, they are already dead. ”

Afraid of being driven away, he knelt on the ground again and cried, "Please! Don't drive me away! ”

"That's it!"

Wang Cheng lifted him from the ground again and said, "I don't want to drive you away......

When the little boy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Thank you, Engong!" Thank you! ”

Wang Cheng touched his head and said, "Don't call me Engong." ”

"However, the fierce bearded man with a knife just now called you Engong!" The little boy was puzzled.

"I'm not called Eungong, you can call me ......"

Wang Cheng stopped, thought for a while, looked at the little boy, and said with a smile: "You can call me master." ”

"Master?" The little boy stared at him, unfamiliar with the term.

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes!" Master! From now on, you will be my disciple. ”

"Yo! I have a master! My dog mongrel has a master! ”

The little boy was like a little sparrow, jumping around with excitement.

Wang Cheng is a black line, and he finally made up his mind to accept an apprentice, but he ended up accepting a dog mongrel, so what is his master?
