Longevity: God of War

Chapter 8 Long and Short Arms

In this world, selling one's body as a slave is completely different from selling one's body as a concubine. Selling one's body as a slave is just to become a servant of a wealthy family and work for it. It can be regarded as a long-term permanent worker with human rights and dignity.

Moreover, during this period, the master not only has to bear the board and lodging of the servants, but also pays them wages. When the master-servant contract expires, the servants can regain their freedom and have weddings and funerals.

Because of this, the price of selling yourself as a slave is much cheaper than being a concubine, usually around a few hundred yuan, but being a concubine costs at least several thousand yuan, because compared with being a slave, the nature of being a concubine is more serious. Too much.

Once sold as a concubine, it is tantamount to becoming the private property of a wealthy family. Not only will the power of life and death be controlled at will, but also they cannot be separated for life.

Therefore, as long as there is a little room for maneuver, there will never be a woman who is willing to sell herself as a concubine.

Lu Yang glanced at the stall owner's daughter, and saw that his daughter was gentle and pleasant, even if her face was disheveled, she couldn't hide her natural beauty, and she immediately understood the reason.

But what puzzled Lu Yang was that the woman was covered with a big and long sackcloth, which tightly wrapped her whole body, only her head was exposed outside.

Facing the man's entreaties, the young man from the rich family did not give up. Instead, he snorted coldly, "Untouchable, it is your daughter's honor to be my concubine. How dare you refuse me?"

The young man seemed to want to snatch the women, which made the middle-aged man tremble and beg again and again.

The scene in front of him attracted the attention of other stall owners and newcomers passing by, but no one dared to say anything.

Lu Yang looked at this scene with a calm expression. In the world of "Flying Immortals", people have classes, and the fate of the strong dominating the weak is an iron law. He can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Seeing that the old man still disagreed, the young man's face darkened, "At worst, I'll give you six taels of silver, you bastard, don't you know what's good and what's wrong!"

It is already a very heroic gesture to increase the price by one tael at a time, but the man loves his daughter, even if the price is doubled, how could he possibly push his daughter into the fire pit?
What's more, looking at the behavior of this young man, if his daughter marries him as a concubine, she will never have a good life in the future.

The essence of selling one's body is actually a transaction. If the buyer chooses the seller, the seller will naturally also choose the buyer.

It would be the best if it could be sold to some kind-hearted rich people, but if you encounter some vicious, cruel and vicious rich people, no matter how much money you pay, few people will be willing.

Seeing that the young man was determined to embarrass her, the middle-aged man no longer pleaded in a low voice, but became tougher, "I thought about it, and I really couldn't bear my daughter, so I suddenly decided not to let her sell herself. Young master, please come back." Bar."

"I've wasted so much time here, now you say you won't sell it?" The young man sneered, "Are you kidding me?"

Faced with the young man's questioning, the old man gritted his teeth, and simply stopped defending, just bowed his head and remained silent.

In his opinion, as long as he firmly disagrees, the youth has nothing to do.

After all, no matter how rich a young man's family is, he would never dare to forcefully buy and sell in front of all eyes, otherwise, he would be challenging Jiang Guo's laws.

Sure enough, seeing how stubborn he was, the young man's face became even more gloomy, and then he smiled angrily, "Okay! Very good, I want to see how you can survive in Luoyan City if you don't sell your daughter!"

His family can also be regarded as the local snake in this Luoyan city. As long as the common people offend him, they will be unable to move an inch in this Luoyan city.

He believed that as long as he used some tricks, the desperate man could only offer his daughter with both hands.

After putting down his harsh words, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" At this moment, the man's eldest daughter, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

The young man paused and turned around suddenly, the anger on his face hadn't dissipated.

"Xiaoying!" The man seemed to have guessed what his daughter was going to do, and suddenly became anxious.

The woman glanced at her father reluctantly, then turned to look at the young man, and said seriously: "Master, do you really want to marry me as a concubine?"

The young man's face turned from anger to joy, and he smiled, "Of course, you will not regret following me."

The woman sighed and nodded, "Well, I can be a concubine."

The young man immediately showed joy when he heard the words, but the woman changed the subject again: "But before that, I have one more thing to say. If the young master still insists after I finish speaking, then I will follow what the young master said."

"What's the matter?" the young man asked subconsciously.

The next moment, the woman lifted the sackcloth covering her body, revealing the scene inside.

She was still wearing coarse clothes underneath, and her emaciated figure was the same as that of most commoner women.

But when everyone's eyes fell on her hands, there was an uproar.

Lu Yang, who was already planning to leave at the side, shrank his pupils suddenly after seeing this scene, "Short arms?"

The woman's hands are as thin as her figure, but at the same time they are also very strange, because her hands are obviously one long and one short.

Her right hand is very long, a section longer than ordinary people, but her left hand is a section shorter than ordinary people, which looks very strange.

Seeing this, the young man's expression suddenly changed, the joy in his eyes disappeared, leaving only horror and disgust.

In this era, many people born with disabilities are mostly regarded as ominous omens or monsters, and everyone can't avoid them. Even if they are not regarded as monsters, some discrimination and suppression are inevitable.

A person with such strange hands, in the eyes of ordinary people, is no different from a monster, no matter how beautiful he is, he is not interested.

If he dared to marry such a monster back as a concubine, the elders in the family would never let him go.

"It's really bad luck, let's go!" He said coldly, and left without looking back with his guards.

After seeing this scene, the other people who were watching the show also showed fear and disgust in the eyes of the woman.

The woman seemed to have expected this a long time ago, she sighed numbly, picked up the sackcloth on the ground and put it on her body again.

However, at this moment, a young figure suddenly came to the stall and said, "I want to buy your daughter."

A look of astonishment appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He looked at the young, a little too much boy in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

It was hard for him to believe that after seeing his daughter's physical condition, someone would still be willing to buy her.

How did he know that the reason why the boy was willing to buy his daughter was because he saw his daughter's body structure which was different from ordinary people.

This young man was exactly Lu Yang who was watching the play from the sidelines.

Faced with his doubts, Lu Yang did not explain anything, he directly took out three taels of silver from his pocket, and said: "I will pay you three taels of silver to buy your daughter as a slave for 20 years, and the wages during this period will be calculated separately, how about that?" ?”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman with even a hint of fire in his eyes.

The woman looked at him curiously, not knowing what was going on in his mind, and the middle-aged man was also shocked by his handwriting.

You must know that the young man just paid six taels of silver to buy his daughter as a concubine, but the man in front of him is willing to buy his daughter as a slave for three taels.

For many ordinary civilians, their life savings are only a few taels of silver.
