Section 41 Midway Auction
He has short shoulder-length hair, a pink face, big watery eyes, a playful little nose, and a small cherry mouth. All in all, Umi is a very cute little girl. Coupled with the skinny body caused by long-term malnutrition, compared with the hairy man with flying muscles in front of him, the pity in people's hearts arises spontaneously. Faintly, accusations, insults, and ridicule are endless.
Niu Er's skin was not as thick as it looked, and he was defeated in the eye dart bombardment of the crowd. After a while, he stubbornly slipped into the crowd and hid aside, squatting on the ground and carefully playing a game with the ant army.
Fei'er stepped forward to help Umi up, giving her a friendly smile and comforting words. Umi saw that he was a handsome young man, and he cared for him so much that his nervousness gradually relaxed. But Fei'er's unscrupulous behavior seems to be a little indulgent, and there is no defense between men and women at all. Thinking of this, Umi's heart was shocked, her little face couldn't help but be red, and her head was so low that she was almost in the middle of her clothes.
Niu Er, who had just become the generalissimo of the ant army, became more and more depressed, looking at the two girls who were ignorant and arrogant, and the other who was embarrassed to answer there, which was very concubine-like. Niu Er couldn't wait to rush forward immediately to give these two goods a kick to each person, saving the two women from playing ambiguously in a circle of spectators.
But crookedness is crookedness after all. After seeing Qing Feng glaring at him fiercely and warning, Niu Er wisely chose to remain silent and continued to gather troops. Looking at its eyes full of tears, it is really a bit white-faced, I come, black-faced, you go desolate.

"Little sister, I see you don't seem to have eaten for a long time. Otherwise, let's find a stall and talk while eating. Don't worry, we're in charge of your business!" Fei'er helped Umi, always feeling that her feet were floating and almost fainting, so she simply opened her mouth and proposed.
"Childe, you have to count when you talk, it costs a lot of money. If you can save my sister, Umi is willing to follow her son in this life and be a slave and a maid. Umi raised her eyes and peeked at the handsome son in front of her, and said weakly with a red face.
"This is a must, gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase!" Fei'er waved her right hand and clenched it into a fist, making a decisive decision
Hearing Fei'er's assurance, Umi's eyes lit up and she shot a dazzling essence. But I can't help but be too excited at the moment, and the words of thanks are always swallowed in my throat, and I can't say it after a long time.
Seeing this, Fei'er suddenly burst out with a sense of pity unique to women in her heart, and she almost wanted to hug her and comfort her. But in the end, Qingfeng lost no time in coughing and reminding him to forcibly endure it, and did not do the immoral things in the eyes of the masses.

Umi is very content, at least he didn't brag about eating the sea when he first saw someone like Niu Er. Ordering a few side dishes at random, Umi couldn't resist the cravings in her stomach after being reserved for a while. In the encouraging eyes of everyone, the meal was served and enjoyed beautifully. It wasn't until Umi had finished cleaning the dishes on the plate and rested for a while that everyone asked.
Mamie and Umi's parents died early when they were young, and the two sisters depended on each other. Fortunately, the Shanghai Clan in Midway Island is respected, and although the two have no big background, they can barely survive in the strong territory of the Sea Clan.
Mamie Daumi is four years old, and Mamie, who is just a young girl, inherits her mother's appearance, but she is quite beautiful. On weekdays, there are always some wild bees and butterflies disturbing the waves. Mamie was upset, but it was not good to refuse in person, for fear that these disciples with a small background would seek revenge. I simply found an opportunity to invest in the second largest restaurant on the island, Shili, under the sea pavilion, and took refuge here.
As soon as this move came out, the roots of the ears were cleared for a while, after all, not everyone on the island could offend the Linhai Pavilion. However, after this group of disciples stopped for a while, they began a fierce pursuit offensive again, and ran to Linhai Pavilion twice in three days. It's hard to dare to do outrageous behavior, but taking advantage of the opportunity to order and serve the food obscenely crookedly, touch the tender little hands, and rub the oil.
This time, it was good, knowing that he had offended the owner of the island, and after this gentleman, there was no macho man who usually wanted to rush to Mamie to count the stars and pick the moon, and he jumped out to rescue him, and all of them started to shrink their heads as turtles. So much so that Umi knelt and begged here for a whole day, but the rice did not enter. If it weren't for Qingfeng and the others who inadvertently bumped into each other, I don't know how long they would kneel here! As he spoke, Umi seemed to feel extremely aggrieved, and two lines of tears burst out, and he suddenly cried with pear blossoms.
Fei'er gently wiped the tears from Umi's face and hugged her into her arms. Umi leaned quietly on Fei'er, and after a while, her mood gradually calmed down.
"Sister Xiexie, I'm fine. Umi sat up slowly, and with a pair of big talking eyes, she told everyone about the sorrow in her heart.
Fei'er sighed softly and touched her face with both hands, as if she didn't notice how she was exposed.
"Sister, don't look for it, your makeup is seamless, at first I thought you were a handsome son. It was only later that I got closer and noticed something unusual. Umi saw that Fei'er was busy and showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.
"What a flaw, I thought I was pretending to be like it!" Phil pouted in anger.
"Hee-hee, no boy would have his ears pierced. And that's ...... there," Umi glanced defiantly at Fei'er's chest and chuckled.
"Okay, you bad Nizi!" Fei'er didn't know what Umi was referring to, and it seemed that Fang Cai couldn't help but hug this little Nizi before letting him confirm it. Phil stretched out her hands and demonstratively rubbed them on Umi's little head. After a while, a messy bird's nest appeared on Umi's delicate little head.
"Sister, you promised to save my sister just now......" Umi asked again uncomfortingly, straightening her messy hair.
"If you say yes, you'll do it. Fei'er finally let out her anger and smiled happily.
However, in order to make his sister compensate for the baby, the bad guy pointed out that the starting price of his sister was 10,000 gold coins. The price of a mermaid slave is a hundred times higher, which is one of the main reasons why Umi kneels for a day and can't get help. Umi asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry. Tomorrow, I will definitely help you redeem my sister!" Fei'er slapped the table like a hero, and suddenly stirred up a table of soup, spilling the soup on the faces of the few people who were caught off guard, embarrassed. But a few people had no choice but to be used to being domineering, so they could only grin at the big eyes in protest!

The Midway Auction, a long-established tradition on the island. Every ten days, the islanders gather in the square under the extinct volcano in the center of the island. Originally, it was a typical open-air fair, but with the entry of human civilization, under the guidance of shrewd merchants, it gradually developed into a large-scale auction with a grand scene, detailed classification, and far and near.
Today, Mamie will be listed for auction at one of the auctions. The audience was anxiously waiting for everyone to quickly flip through the general catalogue of today's auction in the hope of discovering Mamie's traces.
With a few roaring gun salutes and streamers falling from the sky, the auction officially began.
People surrounded an old turtle man who was not an ordinary age, and dragged him to the stage. No way, this is today's emcee, according to the behavioral characteristics of its ethnic group, if you want it to go to the stage on its own, today's auction is estimated to be more than half.
"Today, we are gathered again for the island's trading extravaganza. Below, I announce that the auction will ...... Formal...... Start!" As soon as he finished speaking, the old turtle's head quickly shrank into its shell at an incommensurate speed, just enough to dodge the missile attack of the impatient crowd below.
Pretending to be dead for a while, the old turtle poked its head out in fear. Seeing that everyone's ammunition was exhausted, he simply stretched out his limbs generously and looked at the people in the audience defiantly.
"No more nonsense. Now, please give the first lot!"
The auction of the sea tribe is far less cumbersome than that of the human auction, at least there is almost no interaction between the master of ceremonies and the audience. Lots flowed backstage and on the stands, occasionally being acquired by interested bidders in the audience, and Blue Point and Rose lost no time in bidding for a few rare minerals unique to the sea.
Niu Er and the Little Beast have no interest in this kind of auction, as there will be no food-related auction items in it. However, Phil's eyes were so hot for some treasures of the sea that she was like a female dragon who saw the treasure and wanted to take it for herself, and from time to time her eyes glowed with a dazzling light that could pierce through the shell of the old turtle.
Fortunately, Fei'er has not lost her rationality, these things don't look glamorous, if you really want to buy them, it will definitely be a bottomless pit, and their little money is not enough to see at all. In order to preserve her strength and fulfill her promise to redeem Mamie, Fei'er gritted her teeth today and didn't spend a penny.
Looking at Qingfeng and Rose, who have obtained their favorite ores from time to time, dancing on the side, Fei'er is a little hateful. Fortunately, she knew that it was input. Without today's input, there will be no tomorrow's output, and she still understands the truth of raising chickens and laying eggs. In her eyes, at least at this time, the two satisfied brothers had become clucking hens, happily dancing to lay eggs.
――
As the overlord of the island, the Sea Clan will rarely appear in the auction, unless they have committed some heinous crimes. And for the respect of the Sea Clan, even if it is an auction of Sea Clan slaves, the auction will arrange it to be held during the zuihou period. They didn't want to see the satisfied obscene gaze that humans had when they had taken pictures of the Sea Clan.
As the most beautiful group of sea tribes, mermaids are highly sought after by humans. The human aristocracy is proud to keep a stunning mermaid in their mansion. Once it appears at auction, it will inevitably cause a wave of crazy bidding, ranging from a few hundred to thousands of gold, and the money will be spent!
And today, when the beautiful Mamie was tied with ropes and carried to the booth, the people in the audience gasped and lamented the injustice of the Creator. There were only sighs and silences, and there was no madness at all.
The reason for this is that the value of Mamie was clearly marked on the booth.
The price starts at 10,000 gold coins, and the price increases by 500 gold coins each time!
It's crazy!
