In the mountain forest, sitting on a thousand-year-old tree, was a dirty girl.
The girl kept mumbling something.
Under the branches, there are a large number of wild animals.
There are many kinds of these beasts, and judging from their shapes, they all seem to be surrendering to the girl in the tree.
There is even an eye-catching white-fronted tiger among them.
But the white tiger was surrounded by a whole circle of wolves, and every wolf stared at it.
The huge disparity in numbers meant that even if the white tiger was reluctant, he could only show his loyalty.
"Woe! Woe!"
At this time, a girl with orange-red hair ran to the bottom of the tree on all fours and shouted excitedly to the girl on the tree.
"Xiao Ju, do you even think I'm a disaster?"
The girl looked at the orange-red hair and said calmly.
"Woe! Woe!"
Xiaoju seemed to only be able to say this one word, and she was quite excited.
"Hmph, it seems that maybe I am really a disaster."
"From today on, my name is - Disaster."
The girl named Disaster swept over the beasts and roared in a strange accent.
This roar elicited a response from all the beasts.
Judging from their reactions, the scourge is truly the king of the forest.
…
Muchuan did not delay along the way and soon arrived at the border between Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
Along the way, Muchuan also saw how backward and chaotic the northwest region of the Tang Dynasty was.
However, all of this pales in comparison to the borderlands.
On the border between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, a town was built to provide consumption and rest for the traveling caravans.
This town doesn't even have a name, people coming and going just call it a town.
Muchuan also found it quite strange when he first arrived here.
Such a big town doesn't even have a plaque.
However, Muchuan didn't think much and went straight into the city.
More than 70% of the area in Tubo is desert. Muchuan is about to enter Tubo territory, so it is natural to take precautions.
Even if there is a Tiger motorcycle, it cannot be used in the desert.
After all, the Tiger motorcycle is a heavy motorcycle, not an off-road motorcycle, and it does not have the performance to race wildly in the desert.
All in all, Muchuan had a lot to do this time in the city.
First, you need to hire some followers to carry luggage and feed the camels. Yes, you also need to buy a certain number of camels.
After all, it’s not long for a person to walk in the desert, and he must have a camel to help him.
The second step is to purchase a large amount of supplies, of which water and dry food are the most important.
Of course, a guide for merging translations is also indispensable.
With the idea of completing these things, Muchuan's actions were also very purposeful.
The first stop, Muchuan went to the slave market.
Tubo was a slave kingdom, and the slave trade was legal here.
Although this city is located on the border between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, it also follows the habits of the Tubo people, and it does have a slave market.
This was Muchuan's first time visiting a large-scale slave market, and he was quite curious.
The slave market is located in a very remote place. Although it is inside the city, you can't feel the smell of the city's fireworks at all.
As soon as he stepped into the market gate, Muchuan couldn't help but frowned.
Very bad smell.
This smell is not unfamiliar to Muchuan. When we were in Qianzhou before, the dungeon under Li Chengdao's stronghold had this smell, and it was even more unpleasant.
Muchuan's appearance quickly attracted the attention of interested people.
After all, Muchuan was dressed luxuriously, and he looked like he was no ordinary person. He was definitely a big customer.
A wretched man came up, spoke blunt Chinese, and smiled flatteringly at Muchuan: "Master, are you buying a slave or a slave?"
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Bun slave?
Lenu?"
This was the first time Muchuan had heard of this term, so he naturally raised questions.
The wretched man saw Muchuan's confusion and quickly explained.
After listening to it, Muchuan finally understood the difference between the two.
The so-called kulnus are slaves used for hard labor. They are generally extremely cheap and look unsightly.
After all, slaves are used to do hard work, just like buying donkeys, as long as they have the strength.
As for Lenu, it is used to please the owner. Depending on the quality, the price can be high or low.
The wretched man also revealed a piece of information to Muchuan.
In addition to these two types of slaves, there are also animal slaves.
Animal slaves are slaves who are very old or very young, and are usually male. After all, any female slave can be classified as a happy slave.
Animal slaves are of endless use, and the price is so low that at the same weight, an animal slave is even less valuable than a chicken or duck.
The only role of animal slaves is to serve as emergency rations.
Muchuan's face was also quite ugly.
This Tubo is really too barbaric.
Although cannibalism was not a rare thing in ancient times, it is really disgusting to put it on the surface and sell it as a commodity.
"Show me the slave."
Muchuan said calmly.
He needs someone to carry his luggage, so Kunu is naturally the best one to use.
The wretched man nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you want a good one or an average one?"
Kunus are also divided into good and bad ones. The good ones look passable, but the bad ones make people's scalp numb just by looking at them.
Muchuan was not a man short of money, so he naturally demanded good things.
Soon, the wretched man brought Muchuan to a shack.
The slave market looks a bit like a slaughter market in the future, with shacks everywhere containing different slaves.
Muchuan looked over and felt doubly sad.
Slavery is really not a society for humans to live in.
Compared with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was really like a paradise.
There are a large number of slaves in this shack, and without exception, these slaves are all male, and there is not even a single female.
Seeing Muchuan approaching, all these slaves secretly looked at Muchuan, with fear in their eyes and numbness in their eyes.
"Uncle, you can take a look at it."
Muchuan nodded and picked a few people who could speak some Chinese.
After selecting seven or eight items, Muchuan did not bargain and bought them all in one go.
The price is indeed quite low. These seven or eight slaves together only cost fifty taels of silver.
In other words, a Kunu is less than ten taels of silver. This is still a high-priced Kunu. If it is a low-priced Kunu, it may be cheaper.
Muchuan couldn't help but think about how cheap animal slaves must be?
For a big customer like Muchuan, the wretched man is also quite enthusiastic.
After Muchuan bought the slave, the wretched man recommended Lenu at the right time.
Kunu doesn't have much oil and water, but Lenu has quite a lot of oil and water. The wretched man naturally hopes that Muchuan can spend some of it.
