Chapter 99 Buying a Servant

When leaving, Joseph kept thanking, "Thank you so much, you are really good people, and you will be rewarded for being good."

"Why don't you say it, I also know that I'm a good person, you can leave quickly, the driver will be waiting if you don't leave." Liao Tingyu really can't stand his feelings, thank you for that.

The departing ox cart drove Joseph to his destination.

"It's finally gone. This guy's nerves are so straight that I can't bear it. If I sell him, he will probably have to thank me." Liao Tingyu said with emotion.

"If you ask the driver to drive in the opposite direction, he will still thank you." Huang Zilan joked.

"To be honest, the language barrier is really troublesome. Even the people here speak fast, but I can't quite understand it." Huang Zilan said.

"Every place has its own dialect. If you really don't understand it, we will find someone who knows and understands it as a guide."

"What's the difference between you and him?" Huang Zilan said.

"There is a difference. I learned linguistics relatively quickly. Now that I have been here for a few days, I have almost understood the mind. Don't worry, as long as you follow, I will not let you get lost." Liao Tingyu promised.

"Forget it, you don't even know how to read a map. At most, you are not afraid of being betrayed by others, but you are afraid of being betrayed." Huang Zilan looked at him reproachfully.

"How could I be willing to sell you? You are my big golden doll, you are too late to pet!" Liao Tingyu said with a smile.

"And when you really want to buy it, you can't sell it for much silver!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't buy much silver!" Huang Zilan angrily picked up the leaf and threw it on his head.

But it happened that not a single leaf fell on top of his head, and indeed there was a blue sky above his head.

Liao Tingyu was very happy, "Okay, stop making trouble, we should do our business, let's go, let's not make you angry."

When Liao Tingyu stepped into the population trading market for the first time, he was very shocked. People here are no longer human beings.

All slaves were forced to be confined in wooden cages.

Straws were stuck on their heads, all of them were yellow and thin, their bodies were naked, and their hair was like dry grass.

They were greeted cheerfully by shopkeepers who had watched them come to buy slaves.

The freshness of their faces contrasted sharply with the dead gray of the slaves' faces.

The smell here is extremely unpleasant, always exuding an indescribable stench.

Liao Tingyu avoided the people who came over.

Seeing his appearance, the shopkeepers knew that it was the first time he came in and was not used to it, so they went to surround him, so as not to scare people away.

"How, are you okay? How about we leave now." Huang Zilan was very worried when he saw Liao Tingyu's pale face.

"It's okay, wait for me to slow down, just wait for a while." Liao Tingyu covered his eyes and adjusted for a long time, and his face finally recovered.

"Okay, let's go pick people." Liao Tingyu said.

Huang Zilan saw that his complexion had improved a lot, so he agreed.

However, he was not allowed to participate in the selection process, so it can be regarded as accompanying him for such a trip.

Huang Zilan chose a 30-year-old Kong Youwuli, a middle-aged man with tattoos on his face.

Basically, people with tattoos on their faces have committed crimes, but this person with clear eyes should be a good person, maybe there is no other choice.

"Let's choose him, how much money?" Huang Zilan made up his mind and would do it immediately.

"Young master, this person wants eight taels of silver. Don't think it's expensive, but I think it's a real price." The boss said with a smile.

It seems that the protagonist who is being negotiated is not a person but an object.

Huang Zilan said with the instinct of a businessman: "You see that my brother is not used to here, so he wants to kill newcomers. Boss, he is also in business, but it doesn't involve here, but after all, the big family knows something, probably. Silver is expensive."

The boss was not angry when he was stabbed, and he was also doing business, interlaced like a mountain: "Little son, let me tell you, this person used to be a team leader in another county, but he was unlucky and got a job. Brother-in-law with a crooked neck, he suffered this crime because he was implicated. My heart is full of food and drink, and you can see that the flesh on this body is still tight!" He said and patted the man's arm.

"And let me tell you, even if he has green on his face, he is not afraid that he will betray you and run away. He dare not resist anywhere, and is the most loyal. If you don't need it, I can still provide it on his face, and put your The name is also stabbed."

Liao Tingyu listened to the boss talking about the benefits, which can be called a one-stop service.

But nothing moved him.

This person, without falling on his own head, can always be on top!

Huang Zilan was also unmoved: "Boss, don't talk nonsense, I still say that 8 taels of silver is more expensive than 4 taels."

As soon as the price came out, the boss's smiling face immediately turned into a bitter gourd.

"Ouch! My little son, how can you bargain like this, how can you cut it in half as soon as you come!" said the boss.

"This guy just came to our place not long ago. It's best for you to use it. I gave him six taels of silver. Why don't I give you 7 taels of silver? You can't let me earn money." Ya!" said the boss.

"No need, I still have the same sentence, only four liang. I know what kind of person this person is." Huang Zilan didn't bother to listen to this, as far as what he said, the shopkeepers in their family could say hundreds of sentences .

Who wouldn't know how to sell the poor and suffer!

"No, no, I'm really at a loss. If you want these people next to me, I can give you four taels of silver, but this person is really not good. And what you are looking for are those who are stronger. It's more expensive. What's more, this is the best one among me." The boss refused.

Liao Tingyu knew that there must be some profit, but the price did not meet the boss's heart.

It is estimated that four taels of silver cannot be taken down.

"Then five taels, don't talk about it, we sincerely buy it, and I don't want to stay here any longer. My younger brother has his eyes on you. If the deal is made, it will be sold, and if it is not sold, it will be fine." Liao Tingyu said .

"This..." The boss is very embarrassed, he can only sell it for five taels of silver. He can indeed make money, but this is a very good commodity.

It is a rare appearance in the market, which has something to do with his long-term martial arts training, and also has something to do with how long he has not been here.

No matter how strong a person is here for a long time, if he can only eat one or two steamed buns that are about to rot every day, he will starve into refugees and cannot sell them at all.

After weighing the pros and cons, if I miss this one customer and want to wait for the next one, I don’t know how long it will take. If it takes a long time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sell it at such a high price.

"It seems that you don't want to go shopping anymore, and I don't want to stay anymore, so let's just leave it at that, and I'll sell him to you at a loss." The boss didn't say a word about the tattoo, probably because he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.

Liao Tingyu didn't think about adding another layer of pupils to others, after all, what they want are guards who will follow them at any time.

After registering in the county government office, he returned to the inn with the deed of sale.

Liao Tingyu said to this person seriously, "I asked the boss to open a room for you. You can go and wash up. There is a change of clothes there, and when it's done, Xiaoer can serve you food."

"You don't have to be restrained here. Neither of us is a harsh person. After you tidy yourself up, let's talk about other things when we come back. Now we still have things to do. You can do your own thing."

After talking, the two left, Shen Wei didn't expect the two to be so straightforward, so that he didn't have to be so embarrassed.

I was the same as them two months ago, now one is in the sky and the other is underground.

Looking at the reflection in the water, the world is impermanent.

He has never done anything harmful to nature, and he has devoted himself to doing good deeds. He is worthy of his conscience, and if he has done many good deeds, even if he is in trouble, there will be noble people to help him.

It's just that I don't know what happened to my sister. He and my sister depend on each other for life. If my stepmother hadn't forced her, my sister would have become someone else's concubine.

Now that their family is in trouble, all the glory and splendor the family had imagined have been wiped out.

Asking for trouble, it's a pity that my sister was innocently involved.

Shen Wei thought of a more gentle woman.

After a few years of good life, he was calculated by others, struggled hard in the backyard, and was implicated again.

If God can be merciful and let his sister out of the sea of ​​suffering.

……

The two of Liao Tingyu walked in opposite directions, to a market dedicated to selling livestock.

"Tingyu, do you think we should buy another cow or a donkey?" Huang Zilan asked.

"Buy a cow. I feel like your donkey is useless. Ours happens to be a bull. Let's buy a cow by the way. She won't be alone when she sleeps." Liao Tingyu said nonsense seriously.

Huang Zilan was very surprised, "You have colleagues talking, how do you know that people will be lonely when they sleep. When I went to see it, they slept better than you. You think too much."

"I'm thinking about his future, go, go, go, buy him a similar age, and he will have calves." Liao Tingyu didn't know what happened to him just now and drove away.

As a result, Huang Zilan stayed where he was.

"What's so good about giving birth to a calf? You have to register with the government, and you have to pay taxes every year." Huang Zilan felt bad, because they didn't have time to herd cattle.

"Be close to me since I was a child."

"Then you might as well let me raise a cat!" Huang Zilan said.

"Hehe." Liao Tingyu was also very helpless, he was not afraid of snakes, spiders, and centipedes, only the cat.

It is estimated that it is the psychological shadow of being scratched by a cat when I was a child.

"Why don't you raise a puppy, the puppy is still good, and obedient and fun, it will live longer than the cat."
