Chapter 97—Choosing Slaves (2)
Although Qin Yin had learned some about the slave trade from books before, he had not personally experienced it after all, and he still had some curiosity about this cruel trade, but after the head of the Donghua slave farm marched in the slave farm and watched the men and women of all ethnic groups imprisoned in the big iron cages, he had a further understanding of this kind of human trade.
The Donghua Slave Farm is known as the largest slave farm in Yanjing, and the facilities can be called the first, but even so, most of the slaves are still only wearing coats, looking demented in the iron cages made of steel bars thick with children's arms, most of these slaves are some sturdy men, but because they have been imprisoned for a long time, and they are not enough to eat, so they all look quite thin.
"Yin Shao, these slaves are the lowest level of coolies, naturally they can't get into your eyes, please come with the little one. As soon as he saw Qin Yin's gaze constantly sweeping over these lowest-grade slaves, he knew that the young man in front of him who could walk with Lord Wen was not simple, so he hurriedly and carefully introduced it to Qin Yin, and finally asked:
"I don't know what type of slaves Young Master Yin needs?"
"It's best to be smart and smart, and to be able to settle accounts. Qin Yin thought about it and said casually.
"Oh? Could it be that Young Master Yin is going to buy some slaves to be housekeepers or something? Well, there are some small ones here, please come with the little ones." ”
Bai Chuan's eyes rolled, and he led Qin Yin and his party towards the northeast corner, and said as he walked over and over again: "Young Master Yin, don't worry, our Donghua's goods are definitely the best in the entire Yanjing, and I have already ordered my subordinates to bring out all the slaves who meet your requirements, and we are waiting for you to choose them personally." ”
Following Bai Chuan and walking away about a cup of tea, turning the corner, Qin Yin only felt that his eyes lit up, and he saw a row of gorgeously dressed and temperamental men standing in an open luxury hall, if it weren't for the iron plates specially made by the Donghua Slave Farm hanging in the ears of these men, Qin Yin couldn't guess that these men who looked like housekeepers of big families were actually slaves of the Donghua Slave Farm!
Let Yin Shaojian smile, these people were all housekeepers of some large families before they became slaves, and they were extremely familiar with related affairs, and they were in good health and their moral character was also guaranteed. ”
Bai Chuan stood beside Qin Yin with his waist bent and pointed to those housekeeper slaves and introduced them one by one, including the family that these housekeepers were in before they became slaves, their specialties, physical conditions, etc., which sounded more like talking about a piece of goods than a person.
Qin Yin patiently listened to Bai Chuan introduce this row of housekeeper slaves, and then looked at these slaves, although they all cheered up, but their eyes were slightly dull, lifeless, and there was no vitality at all, if they bought it back, it would really hinder their mood.
"That's all?" Qin Yin frowned and asked towards Bai Chuan.
"Uh, Yin Shao, at present, there are only a dozen or so of us in Donghua, and you also know that slaves like this kind of housekeeper are too rare among slaves, and they are very popular with some big families, so ......"
"In that case, let's go. Qin Yin glanced at Lord Wen, but was glared back angrily by Lord Wen, Qin Yin, who was bored with himself, shrugged his shoulders and said a word to leave.
"Don't don't, Yin Shao, Wen Gongzi, listen to the little one, and listen to the little one!" As soon as he saw that this big patron who had finally met was about to leave, Bai Chuan was in a hurry, and even stopped in front of Qin Yin and his party, arched his hand, and looked pleading.
Qin Yin didn't give face to the middle-aged man in front of him who controlled the entire Donghua slave farm, and snorted: "Manager Bai, I don't think there is anything else to say, although the quality of your chief slaves here is good, but they are all lifeless and have no vitality, and it is really unappetizing to buy them home and face a dead person all day long, so you can keep these excellent housekeeper slaves." ”
Bai Chuan waved his hand again and again, grabbed Qin Yin's sleeve, and begged: "This, forgive your sins, forgive your sins, Yin Shao, in fact, the kind of clever goods you want are also small, but those guys have just been caught, and the wild surname is untamable, if you rashly sell it to you, I'm afraid ...... It will hurt you. ”
"Oh, there are such wild surnames that are difficult to tame, take them out quickly, I want to see what kind of wild surnames are difficult to tame. A flash of brightness flashed in Qin Yin's eyes, and he stopped leaving.
A flash of joy flashed on Bai Chuan's face, and he nodded hurriedly, and finally said to Qin Yin uneasily:
"Okay, okay, Yin Shao, please wait a minute, the little one will immediately let people take out the stubborn new slave, but Yin Shao is still careful, this new slave has the strength of the peak martial arts, although he was broken through the dantian and abolished his cultivation, but the surname is still unruly, and he has injured several of our Donghua guards in a row. ”
"Oh, the dantian has been broken, and the strength of the peak martial artist? This makes me want to meet this thug even more. A hint of playfulness flashed on Qin Yin's face, and he exchanged a look with Lord Wen, then stopped making a sound, and quietly waited for the thug-like slave that Bai Chuan said in his mouth.
Soon, a man with a height of nearly nine feet, whose whole body was knotted like an old tree, with a strange face and a long beard, staggered towards Qin Yin and the others under the escort of the five slave farm guards.
The majestic man wore heavy chains between his wrists and legs, and every step he moved would bring a sound of gold and iron colliding, especially on the man's chest and abdomen, leaving criss-crossing scars, each of which was no less than five inches, which looked shocking at first glance.
It's just that, compared with the previous row of gorgeously dressed but depressed housekeeper slaves, although this nine-foot-tall strong man has terrible scars on his body and heavy shackles on his hands and feet, but through his eyes, you can see an unyielding spirit, the roots of short hair are counted down, and the whole person is like an unsheathed treasure knife, revealing an aura that cannot be ignored.
"Not bad!"
At the first sight of this slave, Qin Yin made a decision in his heart, life in the world, it is inevitable to suffer and frustrate, some people go with the flow, become complaining, and shirk all the responsibilities to the environment and others, every time they fall into difficulties and setbacks, they are discouraged, and have no fighting spirit at all, this kind of person is no different from a dead person in Qin Yin's eyes.
And there is a kind of person, even in adversity, but still maintain a high morale, even if encountering all kinds of difficulties, but still maintain an optimistic passion, such a person is like a deep diving dragon, once the wind and clouds rise, they will take advantage of the situation, change into a dragon, and make an earth-shattering career.
Qin Yin claimed to be this second kind of person, and the nine-foot strong man in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that Bai Chuan said before that he had been broken out of his dantian, his cultivation had been abolished, and his body was covered with scars, Qin Yin would almost have thought that this person had just become a slave.
