Chapter 21 Saving People

"How much?"

Just as the onlookers were making a fuss, Chen Xi suddenly asked loudly, and everyone's eyes gathered.

"This little brother asked you well. Look at these three women. If you buy them back, you can work and be a wife. It is absolutely cost-effective. The road is bumpy. I originally planned to take them to Hangzhou to sell them, but I really didn't want to leave when I arrived in the expensive place. So I just took it cheaper and took it away with ten taels of silver."

When the human teeth said "Ten taels of silver", the crowd sighed. This price was too expensive for the peddlers who accounted for the vast majority of onlookers.

All ordinary families work hard every year to support their families. It is not easy to save hundreds of cents of money in the year. Who would spend a huge sum of ten taels of silver to buy three alien women back?

Chen Xi curled his lips disdainfully: "Now, it's only ten taels of silver to buy a serious maid from another family. Your people are not allowed to buy it, and there will be great risks when they buy it back. Is it too expensive to sell ten taels of silver?"

Chen Xi said this, and the man was a little surprised and said, "I'm young and I know a lot. Why do you want to buy it?"

Chen Xi touched the five taels of silver that Hui Niang gave him in her arms, and she felt a little confident.

He did not want to show off as a savior, but he was influenced by national equality for a long time in his previous life. Among the students he taught, there were many Miao people. If you could, you could help me, not to mention that there was a tattooed man next to him who was eyeing him and could "kill" at any time.

Buying people can not only save people from danger, but also avoid bloody conflicts. Why not do it?

"Two taels of silver, three people, will you sell it?" Chen Xi shouted and sold it.

The man spat and waved his hand: "Every child, don't make trouble. If anyone wants to buy it, just think I suffer a loss and sell it for three taels of silver. You buy it separately, don't be afraid of taking it back and causing trouble."

Chen Xi really argued with him, strode forward and said sternly: "Adult has two taels of silver, and a child has two taels of chicken. Look at this little girl, she has thin arms and legs. You can't let her get a price with her, right?"

The man was shocked: "Brother, you talked repeatedly. Do you really want to buy it?"

Chen Xi took out the silver from his arms in everyone's surprise eyes and bumped into his hands: "Did you think I'm here to make trouble?"

The man was addicted to alcohol as much as his life. When he saw the silver in his eyes, his eyes widened, and then he couldn't help swallowing. He thought carefully and finally focused on it: "Okay, just be cheaper, just be cheaper, in short, people are lighter! Now that the person belongs to you, you can take the person away at any time." As he said that, he reached out to grab the silver from Chen Xi's hand.

Chen Xi shrank his hand back: "Hey, uncle, you don't know anything about bullying my child, right? Since you took the person from the army to resell it, you should have a trust? Otherwise, I will take the person back and you go to the government to file a complaint. Wouldn't the person be yours again?"

"Hehe, you little guy, really understand everything." Renyazi reluctantly took out the contract from his arms. The contract was a paper contract signed during the population transaction. It is an important certificate for the population transaction, and there is a document to confirm the transfer of identity and ownership.

The man's teeth, together with the man's contract and the shackles, handed them to Chen Xi, "Iron Shackles are given to you, these three women are very wild. Look at them bit me." He rolled up his sleeves and exposed the scars bitten by his teeth, "After you handing them over, life and death are by fate, don't think of retreating."

Chen Xi was not interested in buying someone and then returning it to him. He didn't know what the guy with tattoos on his face in the crowd had to do with these three women, but he thought he had come to rescue him. At that time, he would stuff the contract into the hands of the three women and let them "fend themselves". The man would naturally appear and take the three women away, and it would not matter to him in the future.

"Okay. I'm so happy, I'm so happy, hand in hand with the money and hand in hand with the goods."

Chen Xi finally threw the silver over. The man was used to doing business and didn't weigh the bad guys. He just weighed the two with his hands and knew the quality and weight of the silver.

To buy and sell people, it is impossible to have a contract with someone alone, and a formal official contract must be signed.

Renyazi found the official squad from Mule and Horse Market as the middle-aged man, and the buyer and seller signed and sealed. Now the three women's contract is in the hands of Shen Xi, and the transfer contract is officially accepted by him after he signed it.

The hands of the two adult women were locked by iron shackles, and the iron shackles were tied up and tied with a hemp rope. The man handed the hemp rope to Chen Xi with his teeth, and Chen Xi could take the three women home like a animal. In this way, the Miao girl sold by semi-officially has a very low social status, and she doesn't have to bear any responsibility for her master being injured and killed.

Chen Xi pulled three women to the entrance of Muma City. When people saw that there was no fun, they immediately dispersed, but there were still people following behind and pointed on the way.

The two adult women were a little afraid of Chen Xi, especially the older one. She could only hold her daughter's hand tightly. She was not worried about herself, but about her daughter's future destiny.

Su Tong called out to the people to come over to see something strange, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi, who was traveling with him, would buy the three Miao girls. He then followed behind with a smile and asked, "Brother Chen, you are so generous. If you spend five taels of silver to buy three barbarian women back, what can you do?"

At this time, he had already left the door and came outside the Muma Market. Chen Xi looked back and didn't see the mysterious man following him just now. He thought, could it be that he had guessed wrongly that man had nothing to do with them?

"Our family lacks labor. Can't we buy it back and use it as a livestock?" Chen Xi replied casually.

Su Tong smiled, his face full of ambiguous smile: "Of course, you can not only work, but also warm the bed, and you can lift too many things. But you have to be careful, this barbarian woman is not easy to control. Don't wait to burn the house while your family is asleep at night, and it will be too late to cry at that time. By the way, will today's party continue?"

"You have seen it too. It's inconvenient to have people around you. Let's get together again next day!"

Chen Xi smiled so well that he had to quickly dismiss these three women. If he really brought the woman home like this, it would not work. The medicine shop was so big. How should these three women be placed? Besides, he didn't want Zhou and Hui Niang to know that he was spending money outside.

Chen Xi bowed and said, "Brother Su, say goodbye."

Su Tong smiled and returned the gift, asking whether he needed his help to send Miao girl back to Shen Xi's house, but Chen Xi dared not agree. He planned to send the three women away on the way, so he thanked him again and said he would not need it.

After saying goodbye to Su Tong and other Gan Shi, Chen Xi pulled three women to the west of the city and took the streets. He didn't dare to walk through the small streets and alleys, mainly to prevent the mysterious man from suddenly rushing out and snatching people away. If he hurts himself, it would be purely a good intention to do something bad.

The two adult women were very cooperative with the little girl. They probably thought that following a child about ten years old was much better than being in the hands of the alcoholic man.

Tingzhou Prefecture is one of the few big cities around Lingnan. It is crowded with people along the streets. They are a little afraid of life and can only let Shen Xi take them like animals.

Chen Xi pulled three women dressed in aliens, which seemed a bit out of character. There were people watching on the road, and some even came up to joke about "selling or not".

Chen Xi didn't care about the strange gazes of passers-by, but just walked forward. He was not panicked until he was approaching the door. He turned around and looked around, but unfortunately he didn't see the man at all.

Chen Xi frowned. He didn't want to take the three women home. At that time, it might attract my mother to scold her. Five taels of silver were almost the annual income of her family. She wasted in vain and anyone would feel sorry for her. But if the man didn't show up, he didn't know how to settle down.

"you"

Chen Xi stopped and was about to speak, but he remembered that his language was not understood. In his previous life, Miao people basically spoke Mandarin and there was no obstacle to communicating. Fortunately, he had traveled to Baimiao Village in Guizhou, and the Miao students in his class occasionally spoke a few local dialects. Although he was not very proficient in Miao people's language, he knew a few simple daily words, "Where are you from?"

Chen Xi thought that the Miao people had been going on for generations and were still using their own language hundreds of years later. At this time, should it be the same?

The two adult women heard it, their faces were astonished. The older woman was a little excited and said yi Datong. Chen Xi didn't understand it at all. Finally, the older woman asked in unstandard Chinese: "Can you say what we say?"

"I will only find a little bit."

Chen Xi originally thought that the three women couldn't understand Chinese, but just said to Su Tong what to buy it back as a livestock. He now had a fever on his face and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Since you can speak Chinese, that's easy. I just see that you are pitiful and have no evil intentions. If I let you go, will you have a way to leave here?"

The two adult women looked at each other, but they did not expect such a bizarre turn in their fate. Finally, the older woman shook her head in frustration.

Chen Xi looked around and continued to look for the strange man. After a while, he still had no gains. He could only sigh helplessly: "That matter is a bit difficult to deal with. Take you back, but I can't support you. Besides, you are still Miao people."

The older woman hurriedly decided: "We Miao people know how to be grateful best. If you help us, we will not be detrimental to you. We can do our jobs and eat as long as you have some food. Please treat my daughter kindly."

The woman became anxious. She spoke Chinese quickly and not standard. Chen Xi could only understand what it meant after carefully identifying it.

"Oh well."

Chen Xiyi thought that he could not take them to the pharmacy, but it should be OK to go to the Yinhao and the Chamber of Commerce General Office to tell Hui Niang about this.

Ask Hui Niang to help her place her, put on Han clothes, and work as female workers in pharmaceutical factories and printing workshops. Later generations of Miao women were famous for their skillfulness and skillfulness. They should learn what they should do.
