No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 56 A blessing that only weighs five buckets of rice

There are also grades of slaves.

There is no doubt that it is determined by the worth.

The maidservants who were called to the front hall by shopkeeper Li just now have their own houses, even Kunlun slaves, because Kunlun slaves are also very expensive, okay? It is more expensive than a "semi-thin", and the death of one is enough for shopkeeper Li to be in pain for a long time.

The above are the treatment of high-level slaves.

In the open-air backyard, dirty iron cages were piled up on the ground or stacked up, occupying most of the aisle in the yard.

It was also here that Ouyang Rong saw the cruelty behind the glamor of the Jin Xiaokou Ma Xing.

Those locked in iron cages were all old, weak, sick, and disabled ordinary slaves, some with missing arms and short legs, some with ugly and strange faces, or seriously ill. They were all strange foreign faces, and Ouyang Rong couldn't recognize them all.

No wonder the guests picked the leftovers. Before they were transported to some unknown place to play the last remaining heat, Jin Xiaokou Ma Xing returned Ouyang Rong, the last guest, with a big sale for the season:

The unit price of the whole show is less than two hundred yuan.

You can buy at a loss and buy at a loss.

It was in such an environment that Ouyang Rong saw "her".

Her cage was ostracized closest to the courtyard clearing, one of the most marginal positions.

This also means that the eaves on the corridor can't cover her only small home, the heavy rain last night just rested in the morning, and the sun just rose from the east in the morning, passing through the eaves obliquely, it can't reach her On the wet body, the accumulated water on the eaves dripped onto her long hair instead, and she remained motionless, as if she was numb.

Until a slender figure broke into this wet and black shadow from the early sun in the courtyard.

"Squeak~"

The sound of iron cages rubbing against the ground.

Ouyang Rong felt that the iron cage in his hand was not heavy, even if there was a girl inside.

After being dragged into the sunshine in the middle of the courtyard with people and a cage, she raised her head in fright, like a rabbit just waking up.

Although it was buried again soon, Ouyang Rong still caught a glimpse of that little face.

This is also thanks to the rainwater from the eaves, which washes the face and hair relatively clean.

And then under the warm sunlight, Ouyang Rong could see more clearly again.

He was right.

Ouyang Rong turned his head to look at the little steward who was following behind him. The latter had a strange expression on his face and quickly nodded his head to answer him:
"Xiao Langjun, if this little slave girl... don't need two hundred Wen, fifty Wen should be enough."

"Fifty Wen?" Ouyang Rong couldn't help asking: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

The little steward's answer was decisive.

But his gaze at Ouyang Rong became more and more strange, and Ouyang Rong looked down at the slave in the cage under the sun, and then his gaze at the little steward was also very strange.

The two seem to have strayed into the Beitian Jiyangyuan of Donglin Temple at the same time, and they look at each other very similarly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

The little steward seemed to be afraid that he would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said: "If you think it's too expensive, you can lower it, even forty renminbi is not out of the question."

Why are you lowering the price?
Ouyang Rong couldn't help lowering his head, lost in thought.

The little steward quietly looked at his face, and said calmly:
"This little slave girl... the shopkeeper is going to transport it to some remote villages and towns in the south, to see if there are any private priests who need to be sacrificed..."

"How can human sacrifices be carried out? Those are prostitution sacrifices to confuse the people, and the government expressly prohibits them!"

Ouyang Rong interrupted with a frown, paused, pointed to the iron cage and said seriously:
"Then I'll buy it, just fifty cents, no discount..."

Another discount, he was afraid that his conscience would hurt.

Ouyang Rong said solemnly again: "But you Jinxiaokou Mahang is not allowed to do this kind of behavior that promotes prostitution, otherwise you will wait for the yamen servants to close the shop."

"I want it." The little steward nodded quickly, and he laughed, "The main reason is that it's too special, and we can't think of anything else other than that use."

Ouyang Rong babbled, didn't say any more, and he didn't delay, and immediately called Zhen Shi, Banxi and the stern-faced Li Yan to the backyard.

The young county magistrate pointed to the small iron cage, lowered his head and clenched his fist to cover his mouth:

"Ahem, just...just this."

Just after saying this sentence, he himself blushed a little, Ouyang Rong suddenly found that the whole world seemed to be quiet.

All eyes were on him.

Li Yan, who was a little upset at first, now has a wonderful expression on his face.

As for Zhenshi and Banxi, their eyes widened.

Only Liu Ashan looked at him from astonishment at the beginning to now... with more and more admiration.

Ouyang Rong looked directly at them, and asked seriously, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Yan turned his head and sighed towards Zhen Shi: "Madam, you are not deceiving me, your nephew's eyes are indeed a little... high."

Zhen pointed at the little female slave in the cage, and said incredulously, "Why did Tan Lang buy this kind of slave? This white hair... is it an old woman or a girl?"

Li Yan immediately clarified: "Girl, it's definitely a girl. It's about the age of cardamom. Don't worry about it, but it may be a little juvenile haha, but it's definitely healthy. It's just a little thinner, but the appetite is small. Save food, it's ok." Let her work more... If Mr. Xiao Lang likes it, feel free to take her away."

The big food merchant smiled and showed his big white teeth, but if compared with the skin of the thin neck of the girl in the cage, which was washed clean by the rain, it looked yellow again.

Zhen Shi glared at him angrily, "Of course you are happy to sell such an ominous thing to Tan Lang!"

"Absolutely not."

Li Yan waved his hands, and said seriously:
"It's the first time I've seen such a white-haired savage girl in my family's business for so many years. My lady thinks about it. Rare things are valuable, and ordinary people don't know how to appreciate them... It's your son who knows the pearl!"

Zhen's face was expressionless, "But shopkeeper Li only sells fifty coins."

Li Yan blushed without heartbeat, "Make friends."

The woman in the skirt looked more and more upset, her right eyelid twitched wildly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Where did your bank find this... an expensive item?"

Li Yan wanted to have a good time, but Ouyang Rong looked curiously at him. The details of the origin of this product must be explained clearly by both the buyer and the seller. The well-mannered food merchant had no choice but to shrug his shoulders:

"A product from a friend of the Great Food Kingdom. He went to a place farther west than the Great Food Kingdom. By chance, he caught a group of barbarians. They were blond and blue-eyed. My friend thought that this kind of slaves could make a lot of money in the Great Zhou Empire, so they traveled thousands of miles away. Go through the Haiyi road and come to Guangzhou City to sell, and then...

"There is no more, the business is not very good. Later, when he went north, he encountered a group of bandits who robbed all his belongings. He gave the only little slave girl to me, and took a sum of money to go back to Dashi Kingdom. See He looks like he's never in that kind of business again."

Li Yan sighed and shook his head again:

"This little slave girl was born to one of the pregnant savage girls. Logically speaking, she should also have blond hair, but it's weird, and I don't know what kind it is. Why does she have white hair..." He quickly changed his words, "Silver hair What? It's a pity."

Mrs. Zhen was speechless, and said to the point: "The bandits even go around this white head to rob, right? Everything else has been snatched back to the cottage, so don't dare to snatch this ominous thing?"

Li Yan sneered, and said with a high EQ: "It's a silver-haired man, a silver-haired man, hahaha."

In fact, the Dashi businessman also thinks that this silver-haired barbarian is a bit of a villain. Anyway, on weekdays, everyone in the backyard doesn’t like this silver-haired barbarian. Willing to get too close.

However, this silver-haired savage girl has a hard life, and she has survived until today. Although she is not very thin, she is actually treated very well by their smug, Li Yan felt that he couldn't help sighing, mainly because the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were against her. The lives of slaves are protected accordingly. The city magistrates in charge of the street crossing will check the food and injuries of the slaves every morning and evening.

Thinking of the skyrocketing food prices these days, and the high-priced food being eaten by low-level slaves such as the silver-haired savage girl in the backyard, Li Yan felt a little distressed.

After listening to what Li Yan said just now, Ouyang Rong looked down at the girl in the iron cage, his face was thoughtful.

A certain food businessman regained his acquaintance, as if he was afraid that someone would go back on his word, he took the initiative to talk enthusiastically:
"If Langjun wants it, I'll let her out and clean it, and then I'll notify the city magistrate, come over to be a witness, and make a bond contract."

"Okay." Ouyang Rong didn't raise his head.

Li Yan immediately looked at the little steward, who left tacitly and went out to find the city order.

He took another bunch of keys from the Kunlun slave and opened the iron cage of the silver-haired barbarian.

Ouyang Rong knelt down and helped her untie the rope in her hands. The silver-haired barbarian buried her face in her knees, not daring to look at anyone.

These wet little hands were icy, and although it was deep in spring, they were covered with chilblains, and felt like doorknobs in winter, made of iron bumps.

The young county magistrate covered it with his big warm hand, "it" flinched in fright, and he let it go.

Li Yan called a rough woman, pulled up the silver-haired barbarian girl, and took her to the laundry room next door for cleaning.

Ouyang Rong withdrew his gaze, turned his head and said:
"Auntie will help me advance fifty Wen."

Mrs. Zhen said softly, "Tan Lang, Auntie doesn't like this very much. Today we are here to choose maidservants, not to do good deeds."

A big food merchant reminded at the right time: "It is not impossible to pay for food."

Zhen's expressionless face turned her head, and Li Yan hurriedly averted her gaze.

Ouyang Rong glanced at Liu Ashan. The latter put down the rice bag tacitly, and handed it to the Kunlun slave who went up to take it. The dark and strong slave tested it with a scale, opened the bag to check, and honestly reported the number:

"Sixty catties, five buckets of rice."

Li Yan nodded, "Based on the price of rice in the West Market before noon, it's more, but you have to share the cost of asking the market order to issue a market certificate..."

He counted with his fingers, and finally took two copper coins from the Kunlun slave, and handed them out, "Return the two coins, sir."

Ouyang Rong took it casually, and suddenly asked:

"You all think...she is ugly?"

Li Yan took the lead in boasting: "It's quite unique."

Liu Ashan nodded: "Master is kind."

Semi-fine whispered: "Freak."

Mrs. Zhen... didn't speak, and looked at Tan Lang with a bit of resentment in her eyes, the kind that couldn't be coaxed well.

The rough woman will bring back the silver-haired savage.

This time, the silver-haired savage girl changed into a neat coarse linen dress. It was no longer dirty, but her hair was wet and dripping.

She lowered her head and walked into the sun, she seemed to be very cold, shivering all over, and was taken to a steelyard by the hardworking woman.

The big food merchant shouted proficiently: "Lift up the scale!"

As usual, the two Kunlun slaves picked up a hanging scale to weigh people.

The big food merchant glanced at him, and joked loudly: "Coincidentally, sir, the slave weighs sixty, and the price is the same as rice!"

The young county magistrate ignored him, pulled out a towel, walked straight over, faced each other, and personally wiped the long wet hair of the silver-haired barbarian.

Under the sun, the girl's appearance is fully revealed:

The delicate body under the coarse cloth skirt is slender, and the skin from the thin neck to the collarbone is as delicate and white as milk, but it is lack of blood due to long-term malnutrition;
A head of silver-white smooth straight hair, long hair reaching waist, with a touch of gold in the sun;
The bridge of the small nose is high and straight, the eye sockets are slightly deep, and the outline of the small face is deep but softer and smoother than that of orchids from the Western Regions.The facial features are exquisite and small, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the pink lips are a little gray from the cold.

Especially those big eyes with foggy gray blue pupils, who are staring at the calm man in the sunlight who brushes her hair carefully...

No matter how you look at it, the silver-haired barbarian looks like a delicate and noble white-haired loli, a beauty embryo.

Does it look good?
He traded it for a bag of rice.
