Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Another man on horseback with a face full of flesh jumped off his horse, walked to the leftmost slave, brushed aside the messy hair covering his face, lifted the man's face by the chin, and then tore off his already tattered clothes, revealing his naked upper body that was a little shriveled due to hunger, and pushed him around twice so that the people below the stage could see him clearly.

Then he said loudly: "This is a young man, starting from ten gold coins, you can bid, the highest bidder wins!"

Several people in the audience started bidding in increments of ten golds, eleven golds, and when they got to fourteen golds and twenty silvers, no one raised the price anymore.

The man with the fleshy face waited for a while and said, "The first live slave of today, fourteen gold and twenty silver! Please come up and take him away. I will give you the money and the goods."

A man walked up to the stage from the crowd, took out a bulging bag from his arms, counted out fourteen golden shell-shaped coins and twenty silver coins from it, and handed them to the fat man.

Chu Xiaomu saw the coins the man took out, and they were exactly the same as the one Qin Gang gave him. He reached into his arms and felt around, and found the coins were still there. He thought, "I never thought this thing could be so useful. It could actually be used to exchange people."

A gray-armored warrior cut the rope with a knife and pushed the slave to the person who had just made the highest bid. The person looked the slave up and down and seemed quite satisfied.

The slave said nothing from beginning to end, his face expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The second slave was an old man over 60 years old, and the starting price was three gold. The fat man called out four or five times, but no one bid. He was very upset. He waved his hand, and a warrior cut the rope and pulled the old slave to the back row, like a pig or a dog.

Looking at the expressionless "slave" on the wooden platform, Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized that the business of buying and selling people was so common in the East Continent. Qin Gang was right. The people in the East Continent were really evil! At the same time, anger, doubt, fear, pity, and other different emotions filled his heart. He didn't know what it felt like.

The third slave was a child of eight or nine years old. The starting price was also three golds. This time, some people in the crowd began to raise the price by half a gold and one silver.

Chu Xiaomu took out the bag of gold and silver given by Qin Gang from his arms, opened it and counted them. There were more than thirty gold coins and more than forty silver coins.

Yang Dou asked curiously, "Stinky wood, where did you get so many coins?"

Huai Xiaomeng said disdainfully: "He has always been quick-handed and quick-footed since he was a child, he must have stolen it from someone else!"

Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "It was given to me by Qin Gang. He said it was from Bai Yixing's money..."

Yang Dou shouted, "You want the Snow Country people's things too? Throw them away!"

Huai Xiaomeng also said hatefully: "No wonder you refused to kill them, it turns out you accepted bribes!" As he said that, he turned around and glared at Chu Xiaomu.

"Xiao Meng, stop talking nonsense!" Chu Xiaomu also glared at Huai Xiaomeng fiercely, and then said: "Those children...the slaves are very pitiful. I want to use these coins to exchange for a few."

"You're crazy, aren't you? Buying a child?" Yang Dou said loudly, "We can't even protect ourselves, why would you buy one?"

"Buy it first and then think of a solution..."

At this time, the crowd had raised the price of the child's slave to five gold and fifteen silver. For a moment, no one raised the price. Xiaomu raised his hand and shouted, "I bid six..." Just at this moment, a horse's neighing sounded outside the crowd. Chu Xiaomu and the other two looked back, only to see seven or eight people riding tall horses squeezing in. The crowd avoided them one after another.

The first person was actually a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a short black dress with silver stripes, dark red animal skin and white-soled moon boots. She was wearing rosy makeup and looked heroic. She rode slowly towards them on a horse, like a ray of light shining into the dim forest.

Although the people behind her were dressed as servants, they were all wearing shiny brocade clothes.

The girl swept her eyes through the crowd and paused for a moment on Chu Xiaomu and the other two. She probably thought their clothes were peculiar and very different from those of the common people in Xihai City.

The people who were buying and selling slaves seemed to be intimidated by her aura and temporarily stopped shouting and bidding.

The girl rode her horse through the crowd and said to several people selling slaves, "An able-bodied man is 20 gold coins, an able-bodied woman is 15 gold coins, and old people and children are all 8 gold coins. We want all these slaves." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the breeze ringing bells.

The muscular man who was selling the slaves saw the forehead ornament on the horse the girl was riding. In the middle was a golden mountain with a sun shining in it. He immediately recognized it and said with a smile, "It turns out that the Lord of Jin City is collecting slaves. We dare not ask for too many, so we are willing to reduce the price by two gold coins per slave."

The girl said coldly: "He Guaizi, what I said is what I paid. There's no need to take advantage of you!" As she said that, she waved her right hand, and a man rode up behind her and threw a bag of coins at the feet of He Guaizi.

The coins scattered, and the ground was suddenly covered with a golden yellow. There were hundreds of them.

The slave trader nicknamed He Guaizi, with a big smile on his face, picked up the coins one by one and ordered eight warriors to drive all the slaves to the woman.

More than twenty slaves were like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, being driven around at will.

The tall and thin young man in the middle suddenly raised his head and swept the crowd with his cold and sharp eyes. Chu Xiaomu almost shivered when his eyes met his.

He Guaizi then said to the crowd, "The City Lord Jin has been very generous and has bought all of these slaves. Everyone, please go away!"

The girl on horseback stopped talking, turned her horse's head, and rode away. The people behind her followed closely behind with the twenty or so slaves.

The fat man bowed repeatedly to the horses' buttocks and complimented loudly: "May Jinyang City produce millions of gold each day and become the richest city in the four countries."

The crowd gradually dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to see. In less than a minute, almost all the people in the small square had left.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark. Chu Xiaomu, Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng looked at each other in confusion.

Yang Dou shouted, "Why are you two looking at me? I'm unfamiliar with this place, and I don't know what to do."

Chu Xiaomu tossed the bag of coins in his hand and said with a smile: "The most urgent thing is to fill our stomachs first. Let's use this bag of money to exchange for a good meal."

Huai Xiaomeng snorted and said coldly: "Don't forget about looking for that Bai."

Yang Dou put his hands on their shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget it. Your business is my business."

Huai Xiaomeng said, "Then hurry up and find him. What are you doing here just for fun?!"

Yang Dou smiled and said, "No matter what, we have to fill our stomachs first so that we have the strength. If we run into Bai Yixing and we are too hungry to even beat him, it would be too embarrassing. Don't you think so, Xiao Meng? Let's listen to Mu Tou first and use this bag of shells to exchange for something to eat."

Huai Xiaomeng frowned and stopped talking.
