Chapter Twelve Buy a Little Girl
Liu Yunxiang stayed outside, while Mother Liu performed 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 fu water for the old lady to drink. The black smoke
The big bowl is still mixed with dog blood, vomiting."
"Have you drunk?"
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, and besides, she couldn't do it for no 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 word 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. He felt so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and he felt like vomiting, but he 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 are 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. Firstly, they don't want to cause trouble, especially the officials. After all, the people here are involved in many major cases, and they may be implicated if they are not careful. Secondly, the people here used to be pampered.
Yes, he can't do rough work, so there's no point in buying it back.
When Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage, the first thing he saw was a large wooden fence blocking the road. Inside the fence were low thatched houses everywhere, some collapsed, some had their roofs blown off by the wind, and some were dilapidated.
Unbearable.
There were men, women, old and young, all of them gray-haired, wearing tattered clothes, dirty and thin.
At this moment, they all rushed to 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 people were pouring over here.
At this time, several men wearing coarse 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 his yellow teeth.
"Madam, I am the Yazi here. Do you want to buy a maid or a boy? 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 come forward, and I will choose one."
Na Yazi took the money and happily went to make arrangements.
Soon, more than ten little girls stood in a row in front of the fence.
Liu Yunxiang glanced over, but there was no one she was looking for.
"All are 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 quickly!"
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 clearly 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 whom were sweating profusely. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the little girl suddenly turned her head and bit the big hand that was holding her shoulder, causing blood to flow from the mouth.
"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 for 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 hurriedly whispered behind Liu Yunxiang: "Madam, I don't dare to be so fierce."
