Chapter 5 The Uninvited Master

The ruler squatted in the grass, looking at the tall grass house of the Qionglubu family from afar, his heart was both happy and sad, mixed tastes, happy that his biggest enemy in this life, the Qionglubu family, was about to face a catastrophe, and the sad thing was that the catastrophe had just smashed on his head a few days ago, and ran straight over from his head.

The enmity between the Qionglu cloth family and the ruler family has to start from the previous generation, when a slave of the ruler family fled to the Qionglu cloth family, and the Qionglu cloth family did not admit to it, the two sides first scolded each other, and then beat each other, and finally each tangled the clan alliance, and fought three or four happily, until today, ten years after the ruler of the ruler family, the ruler family was beaten and retreated, the original slaves were either captured by the Qionglu cloth family, or sold in order to compensate for the casualties of the allies, and now it is prominent, at most the ruler family with hundreds of slaves is only five slaves left, four of which are the private property of his housekeeper。

The day before yesterday, when he learned that his butler was plotting to flee to Qionglubu's house because his life was becoming more and more embarrassing, he was furious and decided to take his brother to ambush his butler in the middle of the night, tying up his butler and his four slaves and selling them to others. They were accustomed to go out in the middle of the night to catch slaves, and this time they were doing business on their own turf, and the action was so familiar to them that they did not need to light a fire at all, and they touched the door of the butler's hut by a little starlight, and several of them gestured to each other, and then they lifted up a rope made of coarse wool, and opened the straw curtain at the door, and rushed in, and groped on the ground, and when they were ready to touch one person, they immediately tied it, and then went to tie up the other— The ruler was the first to touch the hot human body, and when he knew that the butler and his slave had not had time to escape, he was grinning happily, but he touched something that he didn't expect to appear on the other party!

Rope!

"Ahhhhh~~~~~~~h The terrible scream pierced the night sky in the deep mountains, this can't be blamed for being on the battlefield at the age of thirteen, the courage of the ruler whose knife head was stained with human blood is too small, a thing that is a wool rope no matter how he touches it can move, and he and his brother are tied, how can he not be frightened and scream, at this time, it is his lifelong enemy, the people of the Qionglubu family, can save him, and he will be grateful, but unfortunately, when the light is on, what appears in front of him is not the Qionglubu family, which is very amiable at this time, but a strange little girl he has never seen。

His butler and the four slaves were all tied up and fell to the ground, and the look in his eyes was as complicated as the one he was now looking at the thatched hut of the Qionglubu family.

Because they are different from the ignorant outsiders, they are very well aware of the customs of the Yi people, and know what it means for the master to appear in the hut of the subordinate at night with a rope. No matter what kind of favor the master had given to his subordinates before, they were not blood relatives of Tusi, and there was no personal guarantee, and when the master was facing the end of his life or someone was paying a large price, it was a common occurrence to enter the slaves or even the butler's thatched hut at night, tie them up with a rope and sell them thousands of miles away. This kind of thing is common to such an extent, but all slaves who are favored by their masters, and who have some status and wealth, will take precautions, establish good relations with the nearby slave traders' stewards and slave supervisors, give gifts, and worship each other's brothers, so as to ensure that when they are sold by their masters one day, they can rely on the status of "steward's brother" and avoid the beatings that slave owners are accustomed to inflicting on new slaves.

Of course, even if they have made this kind of preparation, they definitely do not want to go through such a process, after all, some people who are sold are like the stewards of the ruler gate, who have their own thatched huts, fields, livestock and slaves, once they are sold, even if they are fortunate enough to be recognized by the other party's steward, one entry to the second steward, the house, land, livestock, slaves, these can be earned again, the original is no longer to think about begging from the original owner- Their new masters would not support such a legitimate demand, for they themselves had the idea of reselling their slaves and selling their hard-earned property if they were unlucky.

The housekeeper of the ruler gate, this night, the experience can be described as great joy and sorrow, ups and downs, at sunset, he received a lost little girl in his house, the little girl is not easy to escape, and can give birth to a little slave, the selling price in the mountains is even higher than that of an adult man, seeing a large amount of property falling from the sky, the housekeeper of the ruler gate was overjoyed at that time, and even generously gave the little girl a scone, full of plans to keep her to enjoy herself or sell it, and cooed to the little girl" Don't you put salt in the bread of the people?"

When he thought that he still had a master above him, a bad master who had taken away his accumulated possessions many times and did not return them, and it was too difficult to hide a living little girl under his nose, the steward of the ruler made up his mind to sell the little girl, and gestured to his four slaves to take the rope that bound them, and as for the knife, it was obviously useless to deal with such a little girl.

His slaves soon brought ropes to tie people, although they were slaves, they were also prepared to have such things, because the Yi people are still very particular about "war exploits", and those who can catch slaves for their masters in battles or "night raids", even if they are slaves, the master has to divide some of his things according to the convention, which is why the housekeeper and others can also own several slaves of their own as slaves, and the Yi nobles are ignorant, cruel, They are often treacherous, but they are not stupid, at least, much smarter than the so-called nobles of some feudal societies.

The housekeeper took matters into his own hands and took a rope and put it on the little girl's head, he was not a particularly industrious person, but he had to be tied up by someone else, and he had to give a fraction of the value of the girl who "captured the captive" according to the custom, he himself obtained the current slave by captive, how could he let others easily share a sum from his hands?

It's a pity that this low-hanging fruit, once you start it, hey!

"Crack!" they saw the girl squirt a mouthful of water, not knowing if it was her casting move, or if it was just laughter, but after that saliva, the rope moved in the butler's hand, tying him and the other four as strong as a bunch of wild berries on a tree, and then the girl stood up and looked condescendingly at them as they fell to the ground, terrified.

Then, with a wave of her hand, the little girl extinguished the fire in the fire pit.

There was no such extravagant thing as an oil lamp in the butler's hut, and he fell to the ground, and all the terrible stories about the yokai he had heard in his life came to his mind, especially when a hand touched him, and he was almost scared to death—until the fire was lit again, and he found that it was none other than the ruler who had touched him with a rope ready to catch him and sell it.

That's embarrassing.

But the embarrassment only belongs to the ruler and his housekeeper, the little girl herself is not embarrassed, she ate all the ruler door housekeeper secretly hidden, even the ruler door did not know the existence of the cured meat, ordered them to put the housekeeper hoarded the little food on their backs, and then a fire burned the housekeeper's house, the next bad luck is the ruler's own house, although before the start of the house, the little girl is very questioned: "This is the master's house?

Qimen can only tell the truth when he responds to such an insult, his original big house has been occupied by the Qionglubu family, and now it is the house of the big housekeeper of the Qionglubu family - the fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, which is also applicable on the territory of Yiren.

The little girl said "oh", and the doom of the Qionglubu family was doomed.
