The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

Seeing this scene, Duan Qingqiu suddenly felt a chill. As a modern person, she despises this phenomenon very much, but it has to be said that it is precisely this injustice that provides her with the best of both worlds for her current situation.

"No big deal, just try to be a good master who is reasonable and sensible."

She muttered and looked towards the stand. The auctioneer had already dragged out the second slave, the sick man on the left.

"A scholarly boy, I can read and write. I got a bit cold during my exile. Buy it back and spend a little money to cure it. It will be more honorable to be a servant!"

Upon hearing this introduction, she was even less interested. She held her chin and waited for the one on the right to come out and take it down in one fell swoop.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, literati were still worth a few bucks, and in the end, the deal was sold for 280 cash.

She touched the bunch of money in her sleeve pocket and began to feel a little worried.

What should I do if it's not enough? Should I wait for the next auction? What if my aunt can't wait...

No, to be on the safe side, it must be done today!

While thinking about it, I saw the auctioneer pulling out the man on the right and announcing: "Young and strong, great product at the end! Starting price, two hundred coins!"

Someone immediately called out the price: "Two hundred and thirty coins!"

"Two hundred and fifty coins!"

"Two hundred and seventy cents!"

Due to the low price and good quality, it quickly exceeded the 300 mark, and finally got stuck at "350 Wen".

"Three hundred and fifty coins..."

As soon as the auctioneer opened his mouth, he heard a female voice suddenly say: "Four hundred coins!"

The original bidder hesitated for a moment and gave up.

"Okay, four hundred yuan is sold!" The auctioneer was very happy, "Invite this girl to come over, and you will get both money and goods."

In the incredulous eyes of his two siblings, Duan Qingqiu stepped forward and said calmly: "I came out to play, I don't have much cash with me, and my family lives far away, so it's not easy to go back and forth, but I really want this person." Yes, do you think this will work? I'll pay half of it first, and you can give me a receipt. I'll pick him up in three days. During this period, I'll pay for his food and drink, and you can take care of him for two more days. Is that okay?"

What he said made the auctioneer stunned for a while, then he came back to his senses and rubbed his chin and said: "Little girl, we have teeth teething rules. You are making it very difficult for me."

She persevered and persuaded again and again: "Rules are dead, people are alive, and you have no losses. To put it at a minimum, if I run away, you can make a deposit, and you can sell me again. This man is healthy and strong, no matter what If you’re worried about not being able to sell it, why not make it easier?”

When the middle-aged man was hesitating, one of his subordinates came over, pointed at the remaining slave, and asked, "Master Zhang, what should I do with this kid?"

It's okay if I don't mention it, but when I mention it, Mr. Zhang becomes angry: "I'm already half dead, but I still want to run around, and my legs and arms were crippled by that thing from the third child. What else can I do? Thanks to this kid's tenacity and keeping his mouth shut, no one in the West Market will definitely want him anymore, so drag him to a black stall and throw him to those gentlemen with special quirks to play with, so that we can at least get some money back!"

Duan Qingqiu listened to their conversation and glanced towards the cage, just as the half-lying man in the cage slowly raised his head.

Observing at such a close distance, I unexpectedly discovered that this person had a pair of extremely bright black eyes, which stood out among the swollen facial features and shone brightly, containing a strong desire to survive and a silence that was contrary to the situation, like the brightest stars in the lonely sky. , although it cannot illuminate the night sky, it continues to flash.

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the human soul. It must be said that the scenery in these two windows is very beautiful and has a fascinating magic.

At least, it attracted her.

So, Duan Qingqiu asked mysteriously: "How much does the half-dead one cost?"

Mr. Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and rolled his eyes: "One hundred and eighty articles!"

"Heh." She sneered and slashed with her knife, "Eighty cents."

"Eighty Wen?!" Mr. Zhang said angrily, "You fat girl, you have such a good idea. If you throw it into any black market, you can get at least 150 Wen!"

The middle-aged man had a fierce look on his face, but Duan Qingqiu was not afraid at all. He slightly raised his chin and said: "It's only eighty cents. I don't want even one more cent. This useless person is only worth this price. Look at him, can he survive it?" The black market is still a problem. If I buy it, it is equivalent to gambling. I may die halfway, and I will have to spend an extra five cents to buy him a straw mat!"

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the man's hearing and intelligence. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw obvious anger and unwillingness in his eyes, and like a trapped beast, he let out several hoarse roars from his throat.

The onlookers were so shocked that they all started talking, "Oh my God, is this man crazy?"

"I think it's 80% that he's going crazy and wants to bite people. I heard that the youngest son of the Zhang family at the entrance of the village has this disease. He has to ask an immortal to perform rituals for seven days. If he doesn't have money, he can only wait to die."

Duan Qingqiu secretly rolled his eyes. It's terrible to be uneducated. What kind of crazy disease is this? It's probably rabies.

However, these words helped her. The dental shop owner frowned and waved his hand in disgust: "Take it away, take it away, I'll be unlucky!"

Duan Qingqiu hurriedly counted eighty coins and handed them over. Master Zhang pointed at another person and said, "If you still want this, you can pay a deposit first."

She smiled and shook her head: "Forget it, I can't afford two. Look, the one who paid 350 yuan is still there."

Mr. Zhang made a sound, waved his hand, the cage opened, and two men dragged the person out, threw him to the ground, and walked away.

This rude operation seemed to make things worse for the man. He twitched and finally fainted from being unable to bear it.

She squatted down and tried to carry it on her own, but found that no matter how skinny the other person was, it was still sheer fantasy to support someone with a height of 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters.

Seeing that the sun was about to turn to the west, Duan Qingqiu said decisively: "Xiaoxia, get a cart. If you can afford it, borrow it. If you can't, just pay some money. Xiaodong, go to the market and pull out a piece of coarse cloth. It needs to be six feet long."

The younger brother and sister looked at each other and timidly agreed.

It must be said that people in ancient times matured precociously and could hold up half the sky in their early teens. After a while, the two children followed her instructions and brought the things back.

"I borrowed a flatbed truck. It saves me a lot of effort when pushing heavy objects. It didn't cost me a penny. My aunt said it can be returned before sunset tomorrow."

"Not bad." She gave a thumbs up, "Second sister is great."

Duan Qingxia, who was accustomed to making decisions for her sister, felt the joy of being praised for the first time since her mother's death, and couldn't help but blush.

Not to be outdone, Duan Qingdong held up the cloth in his hand and said excitedly: "Sister, sister, look at the cloth Xiaodong bought!"

She took the stack of cloth printed with red flowers and green leaves and patted her brother's little head: "It's great too!"

The three siblings worked together to lift the person onto the wooden cart. Fortunately, they had just eaten and could still use some strength.

Duan Qingqiu placed the man in a curled-up position lying on his side, and then covered him with a piece of cloth. At first glance, it looked like he was piling some goods.
