Even though Ji Changchuan was usually a calm person, he couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face when he followed his mother and sister out.
They haven’t been shopping like this for a long time!
Seeing many people in front of them shopping, they also walked over.
It turned out to be a tofu pudding seller! Both salty and sweet.
"Here are three bowls! One bowl of sweet and two bowls of salty!"
"Okay!"
The vendor quickly served them three bowls of tofu pudding. There was no room for the three of them to sit down, so they squatted on the ground holding the bowls, eating with satisfied expressions on their faces.
"It's so delicious!" Mrs. Zhou said, still a little unhappy after finishing the meal.
"Would you like another bowl?"
Zhou shook his head and refused: "I still want to keep my stomach for other things!"
This idea coincided with that of Ji Changying and his brother, so the three of them quickly got rid of the food in their hands and set off to other places.
Ji Changying observed along the way and found that Tongzhou had a lot of food options. Moreover, Ji Changchuan lamented that the food here was not too expensive compared to the small county where they lived before.
You know, this is Fucheng!
Moreover, the quality of the salt and sugar here is not very good, and the price is not cheap.
As for aniseed, I only saw Sichuan peppercorns and peppers being sold, and the prices were ridiculously expensive.
The three of them ate and drank together, and took a lot of food in their hands to take back to their families.
As I walked, I felt that the place in front of me was becoming crowded, and people around me were all talking nonsense.
"What a sin. These people are probably the ones who suffered the disaster this year, right?"
"I think it's probably those people."
"Ordinary people in this world don't live as well as animals from wealthy families..."
"Maybe this is their way of survival! It's better to be sold to a wealthy family as a slave than to starve to death outside."
Ji Changying unfolded her mental power and took a look.
I saw two rows of guards with knives on the left and right, and the middle row was full of cages pulled by horses.
The car was dirty, the wooden fence was so dark that the original color could not be seen, and there were many people tightly packed inside.
Not only could they not stand up straight, there was no room to stretch their legs, and they were all curled up on the ground hugging their own legs.
They were all in ragged clothes and looked numb, not caring about their situation and not curious about where they were.
These people are in relatively good condition, and there are still some people walking behind the cage.
They were strung together by a rope, and if anyone walked slower, he would be whipped by the man on horseback.
Everyone around him couldn't help but move away.
Ji Changying quickly pulled her mother and younger brother aside and waited for the group to pass by first.
"Oh, life is like a piece of grass..."
The people around him couldn't help but sigh softly.
Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, these small business people will go to various places to collect refugees, buy them at the lowest price or kidnap them directly, and then sell them to powerful and wealthy households in various places as livestock at a price that is 10% lower than the market price.
Ji Changying was silently watching the team pass by her, but she unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
You Tianming?
His hands were tied with ropes, and he followed with difficulty. His body was shaky and he looked not in good condition.
After searching the crowd, I didn't see two of You Tianming's family members.
Even though he was an 'acquaintance', Ji Changying felt that this person was really miserable.
She took a step forward and stopped the trafficker leader: "I want to buy someone!"
Ji Changchuan didn't expect his sister to suddenly stop him. He was stunned for a moment and pulled Zhou forward to stand with her.
The leader looked at their clothes with stern eyes and a fierce look on his face.
He was dressed in ordinary linen clothes, although it was quite neat without patches, but he didn't wear any accessories, and he looked like he didn't have much money.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Do you know what we do? If you dare to entertain me, you will never come back today!"
Zhou's mind is always different from others. When she heard the other party's unkind tone, she immediately rolled up her sleeves: "What's going on? Do you want to fight? We can't decide who will hit whom!"
Anger flashed across Tu Hai's face. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to talk to him like this. He was about to call his subordinates to teach him a lesson when he saw Ji Changying reaching out to stop Zhou.
She looked at Tu Hai with a stern look on his face: "I said the buyers will naturally know what you do, so just tell me whether you want to do this business or not?"
"Okay! If you have the guts! Go and pick someone!" Tu Hai sneered and shook his head to let her pick someone.
Ji Changying's eyes swept across the cage. Some of the people inside looked at her longingly, while some looked away when they saw her simple clothes and expressionless expression.
Ji Changying said casually: "How much does this cost?"
"Twelve!"
"what about this?"
"Same!"
Ji Changying asked several questions in succession, and Tu Hai's face flashed with impatience. He even thought about how to deal with them later, when Ji Changying pointed out a sick man: "How much does he cost?"
Tu Hai glanced at him and sneered: "Liu Liang! I don't have time to chirp with you here. You have to buy this guy today, or not? You still have to buy it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a group of guards with knives immediately surrounded them.
Ji Changchuan didn't know why his sister suddenly decided to buy someone, but he still decided to support it. When he heard the price of 6 taels, he took a step forward: "Don't think we are easy to fool, this person can only be 2 taels of silver at most!"
"Other people don't say whether the ten taels are worth it, but this person is obviously going to die. If you don't sell it, it will be a waste of money if this person dies in your hands."
Tu Hai took a look at You Tianming. He was standing there with his body shaking. Several people were pointing at him and talking for a long time, but he didn't react at all. He seemed to have lost his consciousness.
Ji Changying gave her younger brother an approving look: "It's just this money! If it doesn't work, forget it. There are a lot of people outside the city gate. At worst, we can run a few more steps."
As she said that, she was about to pull the person away, but the guards immediately reached out to stop her. How could Mrs. Zhou endure it when she saw outsiders attacking her sister and brother.
With one kick, the guard who stopped him was kicked away.
Tu Hai was shocked.
No wonder this bitch speaks so hard and is a master of emotions!
He deliberately tested the depth of the other party and waved his hand to let all the guards come on.
"You can do it, life or death!" After Zhou said this, he handed all the food in his hand to Ji Changchuan, clenched his fists and got on.
Tu Hai's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.
When Ji Changchuan saw that his mother and sister were about to fight, he skillfully found a position that was perfect for watching the fight and not easy to be caught and got in.
Then he quietly raised his head to watch.
Zhou and Ji Changying had a tacit understanding during the fight, first disarming the weapon and then beating the person.
You can take action, but you can't do it in vain.
Ji Fengshou and several yamen servants with beaming faces had just returned from selling their horses. When they saw a place on the street surrounded by people, and there was a lot of cheers from all around, they couldn't help but get closer.
It didn't matter, he actually saw his daughter and wife fighting inside?
