Escape from the desert

Chapter 193 Muscle Knot
Generally speaking, if a family is sold together as a child, they will be broken up and sold to different places. If you are lucky, you will go to a rich family. At least you will have a guarantee for basic necessities. Do coolies day after day.

Basically, as long as they sell themselves and enter this kind of place, the whole family dare not expect to be bought by the same buyer. After entering here, they only hope that they will be lucky enough to find a good owner, have something to eat and shelter from the wind and rain. place is enough.

Jiang Yan waved at the granny, with a distant yet polite smile on her face: "Old sister, since you are in charge of buying and selling people, how does this family behave?
Anyway, I am also a regular customer of Shangguan's shopkeeper, and the old sister should not charge high prices. If you say the number, if I think it is suitable, I will buy them all together. "

Jiang Yan's initial impression of the family of three was good. Although Song Tao was the only one who was a strong laborer, the family also lacked a woman.

It happens to be able to help with the cooking. As for the children, they can also accompany Xiao Douzi and Xiao Wu. If it doesn't work, they can also be assigned to Xiao Si and Erbi as book boys. After all, there will be nothing to do.

"Big sister is telling the truth, since you want this family, sister, I naturally won't charge the price randomly. The general labor force here is 12 taels, young women are about 27 taels, and children are cheaper, six or seven taels All of them, this family of three counts as [-] taels for you.”

The old lady was grinning, and her yellow teeth were dazzling. After the autumn harvest, the number of refugees and beggars in the entire county increased significantly, and more and more people sold themselves, so the price was much cheaper, and Jiang Yan was the old boss. Even my acquaintances, my mother-in-law dare not charge high prices indiscriminately.

Jiang Yan frowned and looked at the family of three who were still kneeling on the ground.

27 two buy a family!

Still signed the contract of sale, the kind of death contract, tantamount to being someone else's servant in this lifetime, and people in this era are too worthless. Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help being a little surprised.

But when she thought of Xiaowu and Erbi at that time, she felt a bit of a sigh in her heart. If she hadn't found it immediately, maybe the two children would have been sold somewhere, and she still remembered that the two children were sold together for only four taels of silver.

"The price is expensive. This child looks only seven or eight years old. There are so many scars on his face. He is so thin that only a handful of bones are left. He looks crooked. I don't know if he can raise it well. You still need six Two, if you give it away alone, no one may want it.”

Old Wu's cold voice interrupted several people, his mighty and sturdy body took a few steps forward, his eyes lingered on the child, there was no superfluous expression on his face, but he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the offer made by the old woman everywhere. .

It was Jiang Yan's first time to buy someone, but Old Wu is an expert in this field, and what he said was always right. Her face darkened, and she immediately cooperated: "Old sister, don't lie to me, I just met their family by chance. , don’t just think we know each other, so you’re going to throw people at me.”

Lin Dong and Lin Nan also immediately stood up in cooperation, their faces full of displeasure.

"That is, if we want to buy someone, we must have the strength to be able to work. This child can't do anything. It looks like it will take a while to work after going back."

"That's right, girl, you can make another quotation."

Although the family has money now, the two of them have been used to being poor since they were young. They can save as much as they can, and they will build a house in the future.

The granny quickly apologized: "What I'm talking about is that compared with other children, this child is indeed a little thinner. How about it, I don't ask for a price. 27 is counted as 25 taels. This price is low enough. This family As long as the three are fed, all of them can go to the ground."

Jiang Yan nodded: "Then thank you, old sister. After all, it is an acquaintance. Since we met by fate, then I will take them all away."

After she finished speaking, she waved to the old woman again, this time the old woman finally understood what Jiang Yan meant, she picked up the tea on the stone table and drank it down, and did not forget to smash it twice after drinking.

Seeing that she drank all the tea, Jiang Yan's eyes flashed fiercely, and the smile on her face became a little more sincere. She turned her head and said to Song Tao's family, "Since the agreement has been made, the three of you will follow me from now on. Well, and, Lao Song, you have stayed here for a long time, see if there are any strong workers with good character, and I will pick a few more people."

Bang bang bang!
With a few more snappy noises, Song Tao couldn't help crying. Thinking that their family didn't have to be separated, he said in a choked voice, "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor! I'll go find someone for you!"

After speaking, he hurriedly pressed the back of the silly son's head, and the family kowtowed several times in a row with gratitude. It was not until Jiang Yan asked them to get up again that Song Tao hurriedly pulled his wife and children to stand up.

He wiped away his tears, and walked to the group of people behind him. His family had stayed here for quite a while, and they were quite familiar with them, not to say they knew them all, but they basically understood them.

After all, they are all commodities now, and when facing buyers, they can be said to be competitors with each other.

Sometimes when he meets rich and powerful customers, he even fights violently, so at this time he can replace the main family to pick people, and many familiar or unfamiliar people can't help but look at him expectantly.

His eyes lingered on this group of people. This was the first task his benefactor entrusted to him. He must choose honest and healthy laborers, and he would never disappoint his benefactor's expectations.

A skinny young man in the crowd fixed his eyes on Song Tao's body, his eyes almost filled with anticipation, but he couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of his monkey-like body.

Song Tao naturally saw him too. His eyes fell on the young man, and he wanted to speak to him several times, but in the end he could only choose someone who was stronger and stronger with a firm look on his face.

The young man seemed to have known this before, and smiled faintly at Song Tao, as if he had accepted the fact.

"Benefactor, I have chosen them all. These people have helped others build houses before and planted land with the landlord's family. These two have stayed in the martial arts gym before. They are strong and honest. Besides being able to work , but also to protect the benefactor.”

Song Tao led him to pick out five young and middle-aged men, ranging in age from their teens to their thirties, and all of them were tall and big.

The strongest one was wearing a big mandarin jacket. The blue veins on his arms protruded, the muscles on his body were twisted and knotted, and his biceps, shoulders and back bulged with an exaggerated and amazing sense of strength, as if he could burst out at any time.

Jiang Yan walked over to look at a few people. These five people have ordinary facial features, but they have obvious muscles, unlike ordinary peasants. Standing together at the same time makes people feel oppressed.

In addition, Song Tao said that there were two people who had stayed in the martial arts gym, Jiang Yan immediately felt that they could be bought, and if someone caused trouble in the shop, they could be suppressed by force.
