Huang Ande is the "big customer" here, and he buys several women here almost every time he comes, so as soon as he appears, someone immediately makes way for him. Huang Ande was used to the scenes here and didn't care at all. When he was choosing according to the criteria given to him by Chief Zhu, Zhu Si suddenly patted his arm and shouted nervously:
"Brother Huang!"
"What?" Huang Ande was startled by him.
"Isn't that Yue Niu'er!" He said and pointed.
"What?" Huang Ande followed his finger and saw a young woman who was also naked and with disheveled hair sitting blankly behind the rope loop.
It took Huang Ande a while to realize - isn't this Zheng Yue'e, the daughter of Cao Wu's family in Shuiying, Dengzhou?
This Zheng Yue'e is also a well-known girl among the family members of the soldiers in Dengzhou Shuiying. Cao Wu's mother-in-law died early. Zheng Yue'e was the eldest daughter, and she had several younger siblings. She took care of the housework, so she developed a vigorous and capable personality. Not only did he dare to curse the Three-Character Sutra with an open face, but he could also fight with his sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the street by rolling up his sleeves and tearing his hair and clothes. She once smashed open the head of a young boy who was teasing her with a water jar. In short, she was a master who never suffered losses.
Because of her fame and heavy family, Zheng Yue'e has never had a husband-in-law, although she doesn't look bad. The Cao and Zhu families were very close to each other, and Zhu Si was somewhat interested in her. We often go to help with some heavy work, and each other understands the meaning of the glances. But when Zhu Si thought about the fact that she had five or six younger siblings to raise, if she really wanted to be this brother-in-law, the burden would be quite heavy - both families were ordinary soldiers, and they couldn't support their families with military pay - he kept hesitating. Undecided.
Huang Ande spent some time in Zhu's house and listened to Zhu Si muttering about this matter. He didn't expect that she would also be arrested!
At this moment, this little girl, who was always known for her shrewdness, had a swollen face and blood stains on the corners of her mouth. His body was covered with whip marks, as if he had just been tortured. His eyes were dull. There was still a slight smirk on the corner of his mouth - the original cunning and aggressive look on his face was completely gone. Just like a stupid idiot.
"Master Huang, have you taken your fancy?" The rebel steward watching next to him saw his pointed gaze and immediately came over and asked.
"This woman?" Huang Ande clicked.
"Oh, it seems her name is Yue'e or Chang'e," the steward knew after taking a look, "The embryo looks good, but he is a bit crazy and silly. He went crazy a few days ago and had to be whipped to be honest - Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been dumped by General Zhao.”
"Why are you so crazy and stupid?" Zhu Si asked eagerly. Huang Ande glared at him before he felt he had made a mistake: This is the rebels' den, and even if he was afraid, it was not a place where he could talk nonsense.
The other party didn't take it seriously: "How could it be possible? I was killed, and I couldn't think about it for a while. What else could I do? Looking at her body, she should be a girl, and she probably wasn't the son of the man who killed her. .”
He saw that Huang Ande and his entourage were quite interested in this woman. Then he took the opportunity and said: "Master Huang, if you like her and think she can still serve, you can take two taels of silver with her - a small right and treat it as a good deed. If she is like this, she will be kept as a camp prostitute sooner or later. You'll be ruined until you die."
Huang Ande hesitated for a moment. Two taels of silver were indeed very cheap, but looking at her like this, she was suffering from stupidity. The chiefs select people. First, there should be no disabled people. What's more, the woman he bought with his money will probably be the concubine and maidservant of the chiefs in the future. How can he explain it to a crazy woman when he goes back?
Zhu Si kept pulling on his sleeve. Huang Ande knew that this young man was very interested in Zheng Yuee and wanted to save her - if he didn't buy it. Zheng Yuee'e said the same thing as the steward: sooner or later, she would be tortured to death.
The death of a lonely little girl is nothing here: the ditch outside the "market" is full of corpses, and she does not necessarily deserve the pity of the women who are still suffering in the circle of people. Rescue.
But Zhu Si's expression made Huang Andra unable to bear this look. Zhu Si's eldest brother Zhu San went over to meet his brother. He lost his head because he stole the official warehouse with him. After he sneaked into Dengzhou, Zhu Si followed him through life and death - after all, he was his good brother.
But this is a pretense of public benefit-Ande Huang knows the temperament of Australians: there are rules for everything. Everything is about systems. Special emphasis is placed on "discipline" and "obeying orders."
However, looking at Zhu Si's expression, and then looking at Zheng Yue'e who was smiling silly all the time. Huang Ande hesitated for a moment and asked Zhu Si: "You want me to save her. After saving her, are you willing to have her?"
"My little brother is willing!"
"With her acting like this, she may not be able to cook or raise children. Are you willing too?"
"Small
Brother is willing! "Zhu Si answered very simply.
"In that case, I'll buy it for you." Huang Ande said a few words to the steward, who immediately nodded and agreed to reduce a few more coins.
After doing such a thing, it was naturally difficult to explain it when he went back. Huang Ande thought for a long time and made up his mind: use his own military pay to make up for the silver. Although he didn't know how to exchange the currency notes and silver, he had a lot of savings, probably about Enough. This time Dengzhou's military exploits offset the violation of discipline.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and chose five or six more women to spend all the quota of twenty taels of silver.
After stamping, the two people came out and walked dozens of steps. Zhu Sicai shouted with red eyes: "Brother Huang..."
"Stop talking," Huang Ande patted his shoulder, "I'm not doing it for you..." As he was talking, his foot was suddenly touched by someone. He looked down and saw a man huddled in a rag. The woman in the middle crawled to his feet. She was so skinny that she was almost no longer human. She tried her best to stuff a rag package under his feet, and begged in an almost weak and inaudible voice:
"Okay...Master, give him a way to survive..."
Huang Ande took a closer look and saw that inside the rag package was a dead child. He had probably been dead for some time, and his face was covered with flies. He couldn't help but shrink his feet in disgust and quickly took a few steps forward. He led Zhu Si forward as if fleeing.
After walking dozens of steps, I felt very unbearable and came back: Even if the child could not be saved, this woman would always have a breath of life. She might be able to survive after being rescued and given a few hearty meals. If you violate discipline once, you are not afraid of violating it a second time.
However, when he came back, the woman had died. The two handymen were dragging their feet towards the trench where the body was dumped, while the woman still held the dead child tightly in her hands.
The sun was very dazzling, and Huang Ande was a little dizzy. He glanced at the "bazaar" that was filled with mourners and was like a hell on earth, and thought of Lingao, which was simply another world. He couldn't help but look up at the scorching sky and asked loudly, "Senate, yours?" When will the rain and dew spread all over the world?"
The population bought by Huang Ande has already gathered at the designated place. There are more than a dozen large grass sheds specially designed for their use. Cao Qing specially brought dozens of village warriors to take care of this matter: refugees who passed the stamp were sent here. After checking the stamp, each person was given a straw hat first - reuse. Then they gave out two pieces of rice crackers mixed with soybean flour to give these refugees some strength, and each person was given a bamboo tube of light salt water - in summer, if there was no water to drink in the corridor, there would be a huge heat stroke.
Most people had to walk on the way back. Of course, the treatment of the women bought with money was different. As usual, there was a light mule cart for them to ride on. Huang Ande brought with him a dozen standard military two-wheeled transport vehicles drawn by a single mule or a single horse, which were filled with relief rations for the exchange population. On the return trip it was used to transport children and the infirm.
In addition to people, there are also all kinds of goods for sale at the market. Lu Wenyuan will naturally not miss such an opportunity. Huang Ande's task is to place an order for something he likes - the specific payment and inspection are done by Zhu Mingxia himself: this is no better than buying and selling people, wealth is attractive to people's hearts, and there is no guarantee that he will encounter a desperado who seeks wealth rather than life.
According to the acquisition guidance given to them by the Planning Institute, the first thing is livestock: horses, donkeys, mules and cattle. In addition to capturing a large number of military horses and livestock, the rebels also plundered a large number of livestock from civilians. The rebels owned so many livestock that when the rebels were defeated in Huang County, Shandong Inspector Xie Sanbin was able to organize a large-scale transportation team to replenish food for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers using only the donkeys and mules abandoned by the rebels. , and it was fully replenished in three days.
The rebels also attach great importance to livestock. However, the rebels do not have a complete logistics system. They just go all the way to eat and kill all the locust-style supplies. The livestock cannot be well fed and rested, and they will be used for service in a short time. Excessive, can only be used to eat meat. Seeing this opportunity, Lu Wenyuan negotiated with Kong Youde and agreed to exchange silver or grain for the rebels' excess livestock. These livestock were also sent to Zhaoyuan. In the local livestock industry, the grass and trees are lush in summer. As long as someone takes care of them, the livestock can quickly recover.
However, the number of livestock sent to the "market" is still very limited. For most rebels, killing and eating meat is the easiest way to deal with it. Therefore, in many cases, Huang Ande mainly resorts to the next best thing to purchase the by-products of livestock: leather and hoof horns. These are raw materials needed by Lingao industry. Originally, Lu Wenyuan also purchased animal bones, but when he discovered that the rebels mixed human bones and sold them to him, he stopped such purchasing activities.
Today, there are a lot of "commodities" that the Planning Institute is interested in - metal devices on the market. These metal devices were obviously looted from people and shops, and they were piled up in huge piles. There are all kinds of utensils inside. Huang Ande even found a few temple bells.
