"Li'er, you're back." A vicissitudes of sound came from the grass hut.

I saw a girl with a bun on her head, about eleven or twelve years old, put down the basket on her back, walked to the back room, silently picked up a kitchen knife and began to cut vegetables.

The girl's skin is fair, and under her slender curved eyebrows, a pair of watery eyes are clear and bright, and her lips are red without dotting.

Hua Jian Li knew that he was different from others since he was a child, he didn't cry when he was born, he couldn't speak, when he was 5 years old, his parents went up the mountain to collect medicine and were bitten to death by wolves, and his elderly grandmother depended on each other, and the whole village said that she was a lonely star, and she killed her father.

The young children in the village also made up a limerick poem: "There is a female mute in the east of the village, who is beautiful and does not speak, and no one marries her father and mother, and she is born to be a broom star." ”

In the face of the discussion and bullying of the whole village, Hua Jianli never argued or was sad, but just endured it silently.

She didn't fight, didn't grab, didn't argue, and tried to reduce her sense of existence, but someone didn't let her go.

Zhang Daqin next door stood at the door of the house, looking at the flowers who went out to fetch water, with a malicious look on her face, if she sold this cheap girl, her daughter Liuying's dowry for next month's wedding would be ......

In the dark night, a woman in a light green Luo Yi dress was urging the woman on the side, "Mother, hurry up, don't be discovered by others." The two of them quickly dragged the flower room away from the carriage outside the door.

The woman was Zhang Daqin, who was planning to sell the flowers during the day, and the woman in the light green Luo dress was Zhang Daqin's daughter Liuying.

The two dragged the woman to the carriage, and Zhang Daqin breathed a long sigh of relief, "This cheap girl looks thin and quite heavy, but it makes me tired." ”

Liuying got into the carriage, looked at the woman who was lying on the seat with her hands tied by hemp rope, and asked in a sour tone, "Mother, why don't you sell her to the Qinglou?" ”

Zhang Daqin replied while driving, "Silly girl, although this flower is good-looking, but it can't be worth a few dollars when sold to the Qinglou, we sold her to the Colosseum and signed a life and death contract, she can't run away if she wants to." If you die, you can also get a large sum of money, just enough for you as a dowry. ”

Thinking of next month's wedding, Liuying showed a shy and happy look on her face, sat next to the flowers, and snorted coldly, "A cheap girl with no father and no mother, she didn't sell it to the Qinglou to serve people, and she is cheap for you." ”

"Liuying, come down, the trader has arrived." Zhang Daqin stopped and called Liu Ying to get out of the car.

I only heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, two middle-aged men got off the horses and walked to the carriage, a middle-aged man got into the carriage and checked it, then got out of the carriage and said to Zhang Daqin, "This girl is born with fine skin and tender meat, can you fight, you won't pit us." ”

"Please rest assured, uncle, you can go and inquire, this girl is a lonely star, her father and mother are ke, her life is hard, and she will not die easily." Zhang Daqin said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, if you dare to trick us, don't even think about taking any of this money." The man took out two contracts from his arms and handed them to Zhang Daqin, who made the Colosseum short of people recently, and could find one one.

Zhang Daqin took the contract and got into the carriage, took out the red clay prepared in advance, took Hua Jianli's hand, and pressed a fingerprint on the contract.

"Alright." Zhang Daqin took one of the contracts into his arms, and handed the other to the man.

"She's not going to wake up." The man asked, taking the contract.

"No, I use a top-notch drug breathing pill, and I have to be in a coma for a long time." Zhang Daqin repeatedly assured.

The man nodded, handed a stack of silver tickets to Zhang Daqin, jumped into the carriage, and drove away, while the other man also left after the carriage.

Liuying took the silver ticket and frowned, "Mother, so much money." ”

Zhang Daqin watched the carriage go away, and said triumphantly, "Yes, if that girl has three long and two short, we can get more money." ”

The Lucheng Colosseum, which can accommodate more than 90,000 spectators, is one of the three major colosseums in Qiyue Kingdom, specially built for the royal family and nobles to watch gladiatorial battles.

There are more than 70 cells under the Colosseum, where captured slaves and captives are held, ready to fight the beasts.

Hanama opened her eyes from the sharp pain in her head, and found herself in a cell, heavy and gloomy in the dim candlelight, the musty and damp cell floating, and the walls were stained with blood.

"What's the matter, I'm sleeping, where is this?" Before Hanama could come back to his senses, a fat man with a long beard and a tall and thin man came up with a whip.

The fat man opened the cell, and the two of them walked out of the room.

Hua Jianli struggled desperately, but the man's strength was too great, and he couldn't break free at all, Hua Jianli bit the fat man's hand, the man was in pain, and a whip was whipped on Hua Jianli's back, and he said angrily, "If you dare to bite someone, if you enter this Colosseum, don't think about going out." ”

Flowers are surprised, Colosseum! How did you get to the Colosseum! Unable to speak, Hua Jianli was frightened and anxious, and then struggled again.

The two of them carried Hua Jianli to the ground, and a boiling cheer reached Hua Jianli's ears, and Hua Jianli watched in the middle of the Colosseum, a teenager was pounced on by a fierce tiger and bitten to death, his eyes widened in horror.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy an even more exciting performance." The boy was dragged away, and Hanama was suddenly pushed into the Colosseume, looking at the tiger slowly approaching in front of him, and listening to the increasingly enthusiastic cheers in the stands, Hanama's head was blank.
