The woman was very sick when she was bought. Although her skin was darker, she looked really good. After she was cleaned and placed in the market, many people asked about the price. But after hearing that she was sick, everyone ran away faster than anyone else.
But this official Wu was a pervert who was not afraid of death. Seeing that the woman was cheap and good-looking, he thought he had missed her, so he paid three taels of silver and wanted to take her home.
Unexpectedly, the woman who was still sick suddenly jumped up, bit his ear and refused to let go. After biting him, she cursed, making it difficult for people to understand her words.
The onlookers were all frightened by the deeds of this fierce woman, and had no intention of buying her back to warm their beds.
Seeing the woman being whipped one after another, and quickly dying, Xu Ling finally thought of what she was talking about, the native Yazhou native!
Although he had never heard the accent spoken by the Yazhou natives, the outsiders who had lived there for generations interacted with the local natives and had some accent.
No wonder he thought about it for a long time.
It is impossible for an indigenous woman from Yazhou to leave the place. The only possibility for her to appear here is that she was abducted?
Xu Ling felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to see her beaten to death. He heard Ya Ren say: "It can't be sold anyway. It's a loser. You might as well take her back. It's up to you whether you want her to die or to live." ?"
Although the government prohibits taking the lives of slaves, if you really want to die in the government, you can report your illness casually and no one will investigate.
Seeing this, Xu Ling hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! This dear friend, three taels of silver is not a handful. If you want to beat her to death, wouldn't it be a waste? How about selling her to me!"
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. Xu Ling quickly jumped off the cart and walked into the crowd. Everyone made way for him.
The look in his eyes felt wrong.
Good guy, you are really not afraid of death!
What man can't be afraid of being bitten off his lifeblood?
The businessman surnamed Wu looked at Xu Ling with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face, "You want to buy her?"
"Buy! As long as you are willing to sell me!" Xu Ling said without hesitation.
"Then I want ten taels of silver!" The businessman surnamed Wu said loudly. He had half of his ear bitten off, so there was no way he wouldn't want some compensation.
Xu Ling laughed and said, "You bought it for three taels, and I'll give you five taels. I won't buy even a penny more. Just beat her to death."
Seeing that Xu Lingmai's will was not so straightforward, the businessman surnamed Wu was a little hesitant. If he was really beaten to death, wouldn't his money be wasted?
After only struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and changed his mind: "Okay, five taels is five taels!"
Xu Ling simply took out five taels and threw them to him, asking for the woman's deed of prostitution from the Yaren's hand.
"She is already mine, stop fighting!" Xu Linghe returned the fan who was whipping the woman with a whip, and bent over. Just as he was about to test the woman's breathing, he saw her raising her body to bite again.
It's a pity that Xu Ling was on guard and pressed her directly to the ground by pressing the back of her neck. It seemed that there was no need to test her anymore and she was still jumping around.
Xu Ling asked someone to tie her up with a rope, then took out a handkerchief and strangled her mouth, then threw the woman onto his shoulders and carried her back.
The woman had lost a lot of blood and was still smelly, but she didn't stop talking all the way. The angry sound in her throat was like a wild beast in the forest. If Xu Ling hadn't strangled her mouth, she would have been afraid that she would bite him on the butt.
Xu Ling cursed and carried the woman back to the shop. In the yard, Nie Peng and Bao Li had not yet untied the slaves they had bought, so they asked the people Xu Ling had picked up earlier to watch them and asked a doctor to treat the three children.
Xu Ling asked someone to spread hay under the corridor, threw the woman on the grass, and then ordered: "Ask the doctor to take a look at her first, and then show it to everyone else. If there is nothing wrong, we can set off to Yazhou."
Otherwise, there won't even be a doctor in that damn place in Yazhou. If a minor illness escalates into a serious illness, all his money will be wasted.
You Daozi came out to check the situation and saw twenty more people in the yard. Seeing the mess, he couldn't help but shake his head, and finally stepped in to help with the treatment.
His medical skills are not as good as Chai Yanjun's, but there is no big problem in checking the pulse of these people.
Li Shu and a group of bought slaves crowded together and stood shivering in the yard. From time to time, he raised his eyes to observe the movements of Xu Ling and others.
The yard in front of me is not big, and there is simply not enough room for so many people to live in. What does this person do, and why does he buy so many slaves? What work does he want them to do for him?
Li Shu had many doubts in his heart, but he had to recommend himself to Xu Ling to buy him back. He was stronger than the average person, and even though he was skin and bones from hunger, his appearance was no worse than other men. Ever since he saw a male slave with him being sold to such a place, he had goosebumps all over his body, fearing that he would also be taken advantage of and sold to serve a man.
He was a good carpenter, and he would not have been reduced to being sold if his family had not suffered a disaster and he couldn't survive.
Li Shu was scared. He was not afraid of being sold, but he was afraid of being treated like a woman.
So he thought about it, since he was being sold anyway, it would be better to pick someone he liked, observe the situation, steal some, and then escape, like Donkey Dan in the village, it would be better to go to the mountains and become a bandit. Be good now!
But he couldn't run away in a hurry now. He wasn't familiar with anything yet. If he was caught, it would be difficult to run away next time.
Li Shu had a clear mind and coldly observed the situation around him, thinking about how to climb over the wall if he ran away, and whether he should grab some money.
Xu Ling: "Go to the shop and buy some clothes for them. After the treatment, let them all take a bath."
Xu Ling gave Bao Li some money and asked him to go to a clothing store to buy some cheap clothes for these people. They didn't need to be too thick. Anyway, he was going to Yazhou soon.
Chunmei knew how to cook, so Xu Ling ordered her to steam some steamed buns before buying them back, so there was no need to go out to buy them.
The people Xu Ling picked up were different from the people he bought. The people he picked up were poor people who were homeless and living on the streets. In Xu Ling's case, they were not slaves, but free people. They signed a formal contract with him. He signed a written deed and volunteered to work under him.
So it has enough initiative.
Xu Ling could assign different jobs to each person based on his trust in them, but Xu Ling was still wary of these newly bought slaves.
But then again, the freedom of these people is in his hands, and they are more maneuverable than the free people he picked up.
Xu Ling gave instructions in an orderly manner, and everyone took action.
"Ouch!" The doctor who had just squatted down to treat the woman suddenly shouted and sat down on the ground.
Xu Ling quickly looked back and saw that the doctor pinched the woman's wrist to check her pulse. It was inconvenient to have a straw rope tied to her hand, so the doctor took it upon himself to untie the rope. Unexpectedly, he received a claw in the next second.
Xu Ling quickly helped the doctor up, "Are you okay?"
"This..." The doctor hid quickly, but still received a claw on his chin, leaving two marks.
You Daozi came out of the room and asked what was going on. Xu Ling explained to him the origin of the woman. You Daozi asked the doctor to give him medicine for his injuries first, and then go to treat others.
He came to the woman's side. The woman wanted to repeat the same trick, but the next second she was pinned down by him in the hay.
