After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang was standing outside, while Goddess Liu was doing the ritual inside.

Jin Yan went inside to take a look, and came back and said to Liu Yunxiang: "The inside was filled with white smoke, choking people so much that they couldn't breathe. The old woman also boiled a bowl of yellow talisman water for the old lady to drink. The black smoke The big bowl is still mixed with dog blood, vomiting.”

"Have you drank?"

Jinyan looked surprised, "I really drank it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, if Mrs. Liu can make a living like this, she must have the ability to deceive people. The old lady believed this a little bit, and besides, she couldn't let it go without any reason, so she could only bite the bullet and drink the bowl of black soup.

When Goddess Liu came out, Liu Yunxiang gave her another ingot of silver and sent her away.

Before dark, news came from the east courtyard that the old lady was well.

"Jinyan, go and spread the news that Mrs. Liu cured the terminally ill old lady. It's best if everyone in the streets knows about it." Liu Yunxiang said.

Jin Yan was puzzled, "Why?"

"I have other plans."

That night, Liu Yunxiang slept extremely uneasily, not because of anything else but because he was hungry. My chest felt so hungry that I felt like vomiting, but I couldn't eat anything.

On the third day, she felt weak when walking after getting up, but she still went out.

"Madam, what are we doing here?" Jin Yan lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside, with confusion and worry on his face.

This is where Dongcheng Nianshan Camp is located, and the families of officials who have committed crimes or been beheaded and exiled live here.

They were not prisoners, but they were driven here because their homes were confiscated and they were enslaved, waiting for buyers to come and buy them.

But in fact, most people don't like to buy slaves here. First of all, they don't want to cause trouble, especially officials. After all, people here are involved in many major cases, and they may be implicated if they are not careful. Secondly, the people who came here used to be pampered and could not do rough work. There was no use buying them back.

When Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage, the first thing he saw was a large wooden fence blocking the road. There are low thatched houses everywhere inside the fence. Some have collapsed, some have had their roofs blown off by the wind, and some are in dilapidated condition.

There were men, women, old and young, all of them gray-haired, wearing tattered clothes, dirty and thin.

Now they all crowded in front of the fence, looking at her with longing eyes one by one.

"Madam, buy my little daughter. You see she is very good and obedient."

"Buy my son. He is strong and can do rough work."

"Madam, buy me. I can be a female celebrity. I can also... I can also serve the male master."

"I can do anything! I just ask Madam to give me a bite to eat!"

It felt like a pot was exploding inside, and there were still people pouring over here.

At this time, several men wearing rough cloth came forward and gave them orders. Then a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked up to Liu Yunxiang, grinned, and showed yellow teeth.

"Madam, I am the Yazi here. Do you want to buy a maid or a servant? You can also buy a child and train him from an early age."

Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan to give Yazi a piece of silver, "You ask the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl here to stand up, and I will choose one."

Na Yazi took the money and happily went to make arrangements.

Soon, more than a dozen little girls stood in a row in front of the fence.

Liu Yunxiang glanced over, but there was no one she was looking for.

"Is it all here?"

Yazi bowed and nodded: "Aren't you satisfied?"

Liu Yunxiang's thoughts changed and he said calmly: "These are all thin and weak, and they will fall over when the wind blows. How can I be satisfied? Otherwise, forget them."

"No, no, there's more!" Na Yazi winked at a man next to him, "Call out the one who was locked up yesterday."

There was a look of fear on the man's face, "That little thing is very fierce."

"Shut up and go!"

After a while, two strong men came over holding down a skinny little girl. The little girl struggled in a muffled voice, making it difficult for the two big men to restrain her.

She was wearing tattered clothes covered with dirt, her hair was in a ball of rust, her face was dark, and her eyes looked very bulging because she was too thin.

The eyes were black and white and fixed, like an angry tiger, showing bloodthirsty cruelty.

The two men escorted the little girl in front of Liu Yunxiang, both of them sweating profusely. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the little girl turned her head suddenly, bit the big hand holding her shoulder, and saw blood.

"Ah!" The big man screamed.

The other one hurriedly grabbed the little girl's hair, but it was too late. She bit off a piece of flesh from the big man's hand.

The big man was shaking all over in pain, and he waved his iron fist to hit.

"If it's broken, you won't be able to sell it at a good price." Liu Yunxiang said.

Upon hearing this, Na Yazi hurriedly waved his hand to the big man, "Madam, do you want to buy this little girl?"

Jin Yan was a little frightened, and whispered behind Liu Yunxiang: "Madam, I don't dare to be so fierce."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and took two steps forward. The little girl rushed in front of her.
