Those people's shouts can be considered sincere, and the recommendations are also the slaves that businessmen like them like to buy most.
Of course, it is impossible for a lady from a big family to make a public appearance, so she basically has a little money at home and takes her family to earn a living at sea.
Therefore, what they want to buy are usually either slaves who work, or Yaoshan slaves who are specially used to serve people.
Ah Qing glanced at the other party warily, and nodded to Lin Mengya and the others without showing any trace, indicating that there was no problem, and just asked them normally if they wanted slaves. Uncle Huo wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he nodded slightly.
Pretending to be picky, he asked: "Do you have anyone here who is more well-behaved? My granddaughter happens to be still young, and I want to choose someone who can serve her from childhood to adulthood.
of."
When the slave trader heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he knew that he had guessed it right.
He quickly greeted the guests enthusiastically, "Yes, yes! You must be discerning as a guest. If you choose a slave for our little lady, you must choose the most well-behaved and smart one, and he must not be too old."
"In this way, not only can the young lady grow up together with her, but when the young lady marries her husband's family, she can also directly bring him over to be his wife."
"And the little slaves we have here are good-looking and good-natured. They were raised from childhood, and their ability to serve others is also first-rate. Please wait a moment, I will get two of them for you to see.
."
Uncle Huo nodded seriously.
In fact, everyone is a little uncomfortable with it. Listening to this person's tone, it sounds like he is selling some kind of goods rather than a living person.
Not long after, the slave trader slipped out a group of half-grown children from a shack.
The older one is only seven or eight years old, and the younger one is staggering even when walking. He looks like he is only three or four years old.
Lin Mengya frowned and clenched her hands hard.
As a mother of three children, she really couldn't bear to see such a scene, but she still tried hard to suppress her inner anger.
Thanks to the veil, she looked over one by one.
These children should all be related. Although their faces are immature, they all have some similarities.
The older child protects the younger one tightly, like a nest of chicks that have lost the protection of their mother, shivering to welcome the attack of the violent storm.
Bai Su also held her hand. The master and the servant had the same mind, so they naturally knew what the other was thinking.
But neither of them is the kind of impulsive person. Even if they have any thoughts in their hearts, they must not express them now.
Otherwise, let alone saying that these children cannot be rescued, you will have to alert the snake and get yourself involved.
Long Tianyu and the Huo family's father and son also felt the same way. They were both successful people, so they could naturally control their facial expressions easily.
Just as the slave trader was about to introduce them, Uncle Huo said with some dissatisfaction: "These children look too young. Should I take them home to serve my granddaughter, or should I find someone to serve them?"
The slave trader said with a sneer: "Hey, guest, don't worry! These little brats look small, but they can do any kind of work." He glanced at the three female relatives behind him, lowered his voice and spoke to the three in front of him.
The man said: "There are people who like this, so I deliberately got a few small things this time. These small things are also cheap. If you are afraid that they will not grow up, buy more
When a few go back, the good ones will be kept for the children to use, and the bad ones will be used casually and thrown away."
Beast! Beast! Bastard!
When the three women with both ears and eyes heard this, they were so angry that they died!
The expressions of the three men were not very good either, but they still endured it.
Long Tianyu's face was already cold, but now his face was even more ugly, but he didn't have an attack on the spot.
"Let's go back and discuss it first."
Uncle Huo barely controlled his temper so as not to explode on the spot, and uttered these words through gritted teeth.
To avoid being exposed, I turned around and wanted to leave.
But who knew that that seemingly inconspicuous shack would emit several sharp screams at this moment.
The voice definitely sounds like she is no more than ten years old!
The six people stopped all of a sudden, feeling like there was a heavy weight on their backs, pressing them down, making them unable to leave even half a step away.
The slave trader shouted to the shack with some dissatisfaction, "I told you to stay away. What if you scare my guests?"
In the eyes of their group of slave traders, these underage or weak children are losers.
Many children died on the way, and some of them were thrown into the sea, and the rest were used as gadgets to relieve boredom.
If you die, you will die. They have nothing to lose anyway.
It is precisely because these children were brought here when they captured adults, and a large part of them did not reach their destination, that they are not of great value.
Of course, there are also those with better looks, and of course they will keep them.
This is top-quality goods, and I might be able to sell it at a good price in the future!
Not long after, a man with a sinister face walked out of it. He shook his clothes and looked a little unfinished.
Lin Mengya could easily distinguish the smell of blood from these mixed smells.
Something worse than a beast!
At this moment, I could no longer stand by and watch. The two of them were accustomed to this kind of thing. They originally thought that the accident might scare the guests, but unexpectedly, the female guest in a white dress raised her wide sleeves.
, showing fingers like onions
.
"Dad, I think the big one is pretty good. Although the other ones are a bit small, you can buy a few more. Anyway, the family doesn't lack that much money."
Uncle Huo was a little puzzled, but he still followed the play Lin Mengya gave him.
"If you like it, then let me do it."
"Yeah, but you can't pick a companion randomly. I have to go back and combine the horoscopes. Then I can find someone based on the horoscopes. Wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?"
Uncle Huo nodded, as if he were an old father doting on his children.
"That's it. Oops, I'm so old and confused. Our family has always had this tradition. The people around you and your brother are all compatible, so that we can go smoothly."
The slave traders were not suspicious. People who made a living at sea more or less believed this. When they abducted people, they often forged some better horoscopes. Such slaves could usually be sold for a big price. As for the future,
Will it be discovered?
It has nothing to do with them. After hearing this, the slave trader immediately smiled and said: "This female guest is still particular. Don't worry, we young slaves are all good. After you go back and finish the calculation, you have to come as soon as possible.
We will leave tomorrow, if you want to buy
Such a sweet little slave, you will have to spend twice as much money in the future."
"I know." Lin Mengya replied coldly, without giving the other party any face.
The slave trader's face darkened, probably because he often faced various customers, so he didn't get angry immediately.
After everything they had just experienced, none of the six of them had the interest to continue living.
After ordering some necessary supplies, we took the small boat back to the big ship.
The six of them were silent along the way, until they returned to the boat, and Lin Mengya went to see her little girl.
Long Tianyu was following her, and he knew at a glance that the lady must be sad because of what happened just now.
"Ya'er, why don't we save people tonight?" Lin Mengya was uncharacteristically shaking her head helplessly: "So what if we can save them? There is really too little we can do, not to mention how many people there are already.
It's dead here, and I'm afraid there's nothing we can do to change it.
"
Long Tianyu rarely heard her say such depressing words.
After sighing softly, he stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms, "I know you are kind-hearted, but as you said, there are too many injustices in this world, and we can't control them even if we want to.
"
Lin Mengya always felt like she was holding a breath in her chest.
She is fully aware that the society she lives in now is completely different from the society she has known for many years, where everyone is equal.
She was once an idealist and felt that she could change the world.
But later she discovered that this process was extremely long and even required the bloodshed and sacrifice of many people.
Even so, there were still things she couldn't change, such as the slaves just now.
Under Long Tianyu's comfort, he gradually calmed down and the person returned to his previous calmness.
"Have you calmed down? Ya'er, I know what you are thinking and why you are so sad."
"But Yaer, we are here to change everything."
"If we don't work hard, the next ones to be abducted here and sold as slaves will be our relatives and our friends."
"So, no matter what you want to do, I support you."
Lin Mengya didn't expect that Long Tianyu would tell him exactly what he was thinking. She stood up and kissed him on the lips.
"Yu, you're right. We are here just to change our fate against fate. Their fate may be what we will be in a few years. I will never allow my children to become slaves for others' entertainment!"
Long Tianyu looked at his wife who had regained her fighting spirit and curled her lips.
now it's right.
He just liked to see his wife in high spirits.
Although he didn't know how different the country Ya'er had been to was, he admired the people of that country and admired their ability to cultivate a woman like Ya'er.
She is never tired, is not afraid of failure, and is not afraid of difficulties. She is willing to go through fire and water for the ideals in her heart, and she can dedicate everything she has.
It is not that there are no great women in his country, but Yaer's soul is unyielding, and this uniqueness fascinates him, and he is gradually infected.
Lin Mengya took a deep breath. Perhaps women in China have restless blood flowing in their bones, and even after thousands of years of repression, they still cannot agree with the fate imposed on them.
