Chapter 1189 Buying "goods"

The threshing ground outside the stockade is now a market, with some simple awnings set up here and there, and groups of people dangling with their chests and chests exposed, some of them are drunk.Groups of refugees were herded into the open space as commodities.The ones sent to the market were all women and children——some of the rebel soldiers were engaged in female child molesters to vent their desires, some had no sons for many years and wanted to find a boy to inherit cigarettes, and some had no wives and quickly found a wife— ——Although Kong Youde was a general many years ago, he has never had a wife. He only had a wife after the Denglai Incident.

Young women with better looks are treated better, because they are afraid that they will not be able to sell the price if they get tanned, and they have a shed on their heads.If it is an ordinary peasant woman with big hands and feet, she can only kneel at the base of the wall and wait for the selection.All of them were unkempt, sallow and thin.

There are both "public goods" and "private goods". Most of the latter are young women, and most of them are plundered by soldiers and generals who get tired of playing with them and then resell them.

In addition to the people's market, there are piles of dilapidated markets. This area covers a larger area, and each stall is spread out and filled with objects: everything is sold here: rags and rags stripped from piles of dead people. All the way to gold and silver playthings, jade decorations...farmers' agricultural tools, businessman's abacus, actor's suitcases, musical instruments, and even birthday materials bought by wealthy families--everything in homes, government offices, shops, and even temples, there is nothing They were not robbed and sold, and some of them carried beautiful earth flowers—the funeral objects dug up by bandits who took advantage of the war to dig up the graveyards of wealthy families.

Those who came to buy things were not only rebels, but also all kinds of people who were brave and not afraid of death in this troubled world, and dared to get the meat of the hob with the money in the oil pan. They gathered here like flies smelling dead bodies, and tried their best to reap the benefits.Recently, a group of human traffickers from Nanzhi came from an adventure from the sea, and they are buying young women.

Buyers and sellers are all holding sticks and swords-there is no order here. It is common to argue over prices and use knives. As for theft and robbery, it is commonplace. It was the swollen corpse of a fly.Rows of blackened heads hung on the wooden poles.

Huang Ande frowned. Like Cao Qing and Zhu Si, he wore a pig's mouth mask made by Lingao according to the order of the health worker. Even so, the stench of the corpse still penetrated into his nose continuously.From time to time, their strange shapes attract the attention of the people around them, but no one dares to say a word—the rebels are a mob, and even Li Jiuzheng cannot completely and effectively control every straggler, but the people under the name "Qi Mu" are not good. There is consensus among everyone.The rebel general guarding the bazaar knew that if he offended Uncle Lu, the place would be slaughtered from top to bottom, so he strictly ordered his subordinates to pull out anyone who disrespected the people from Qimu Island and beheaded immediately.

"Master Huang is here!" Huang Ande was strolling when a strong man in a tattered jacket with his chest bare came up to him and clasped his fists first.This person is the leader of the guarding market. He was originally a servant of Kong Youde, so he also took the surname of Kong.Now that Kong Youde is the deputy marshal, he has naturally gained the title of "Guerrilla".Specially lead a team of people to run the market here.

After the two parties greeted each other, the general manager asked, "How is it? Master Huang, is it the old rules or not?"

"Of course it's an old rule." Huang Ande said, "There are three hundred strong men. You count them first--last time, you cheated people. You stuffed so many old, weak, sick and disabled, and more than 40 died when they reached the ground. It's not enough for them. Food money for the food along the way! If something like this happens again this time, Master Lu won’t give any food.” He took out a blue stamp and handed it over.

"See what you say." Although Kong Guerrilla was born as a servant, he felt quite self-taught when it came to business, so he shirked with a smile on his face. Hey, they are all really young and strong, mainly because they have been in the circle of people for a long time, they don’t have enough to eat, and the weather is hot. How many people will die along the way? Let me tell you, it’s not for you to choose Those who are especially strong will die if they go to the island. Not to mention them, a few days ago when the commander marched, all those who died of fever on the road were lost all the way! The sun is poisonous these days."

"Don't talk about it, you have to pick people up this time - if too many people die on the road, maybe you will have to deliver the goods next time." Huang Ande said.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to prepare things now, women and children or do you always look at them yourself?"

"Yes. Follow the old rules."

Kong Guerrilla immediately called a personal attendant, and told him to lead "Master Huang" to the market to select candidates.

Huang Ande was not the first time to come back to work on business. He was a refugee himself, and he knew how much the elders valued the population.And I know that the chiefs are different from other forces, they pay special attention to women and children, and in many cases they even give priority to transporting women and children away.The first group to be taken away on Qimu Island were also women and children.Moreover, he had already vaguely heard that the chiefs were particularly interested in Shandong girls, especially those tall, broad-shouldered and long-legged women, who were particularly in their liking.Therefore, it is inevitable to be careful and a lot when selecting candidates.

He walked all the way to choose, pointing at the one he likes, and Zhu Si and Cao Qing will stamp a stamp on each other's arm with the engraved blue stamp.The rebels next to them will take people out and circle them alone.

For those who were stamped—whether they were women personally selected by Huang Ande or Ding Zhuang who was randomly drawn by Kong Guerrilla, once they were stamped, they would die—as long as they could reach the middle station.If there are children or family members, one chapter will live the whole family.As usual, the whole family can follow.Therefore, some people often ask the stamped person to pretend to be a family member.If a single man is stamped, there will be women willing to be his wife immediately.

In the past, they used the method of hanging wooden signs, but they didn’t know how to get everyone to know that they would be able to have a full meal, so as soon as they hung up, someone would come up to snatch or steal it, causing fights and shouting for grievances. There were even fatalities.In the end it was changed to a seal.

The instructions given to him by the deer owner are very simple: give priority to choosing healthy women with natural feet, a height of more than 1.5 meters, and a age of less than [-]. It doesn't matter whether they have children or not.As for children, as long as they are not disabled, they all want them.

The condition of Tianzu is more difficult to meet—the footbinding custom in Shandong is different from that in Jiangnan: rural women in Jiangnan have to work in the fields, so rural women generally do not bind their feet, but footbinding is very common here in Shandong, and even rural women rarely do not bind their feet .Therefore, the precondition of Tianzu is not a must.Other conditions are relatively easy to meet.

Huang Ande walks all the way, chooses all the way.The women and children in the market watched them with wide eyes. Although the rebels did not allow anyone to rush up, as soon as Huang Ande's gaze turned here, they would involuntarily want to stand up and pounce on them—until they were rebels. The army's swords and guns forced him to live.This fearful and expectant vision of survival made Huang Ande hardly dare to look at it sometimes.

Especially seeing the orphans on the market, they are even more pitiful, they are all naked, lying down or sitting, very weak.They are small and weak, and have no one to take care of them. They are the bottom of the biological chain of the entire human circle.While sighing, Huang Ande tried to take away every child who looked healthy.

Every time he took one person away from here, he saved one more life.But now Zhaoyuan and the island’s reception capacity is also very limited, and the spy boat can only transport a few hundred people at a time, so the quota Lu Wenyuan gave him is a maximum of 1000 people at a time.

The last one to go to is the "small shed". The sellers in this kind of shed are usually women with good looks, or women from families above the middle class. , but you can often find some women who fit the aesthetic taste of the chiefs.Chief Zhu allocated him 20 taels of silver each time to buy such a woman.The guiding price given to him was three taels of silver per person.

There are special guards outside the shed, and only those who show their money to show sincerity can go in to "see the goods". Huang Ande has been there several times, and the guards know his background and do not question him.It was the first time for Zhu Si to come in, and he couldn't help looking around curiously. Suddenly, he shook and pulled Huang Ande's clothes.

Huang Ande looked sideways, and found that Zhu Si was already blushing, and he lowered his head, not daring to look.Huang Ande knew that he was probably still a virgin boy who hadn't been through human affairs, and he couldn't hold back seeing the spring in this shed.

The shed was not big, but it was full of people. Under the sunlight, there was a smell of sweat inside, but there was an empty space in the middle that was roped off to keep people away.The sold women were stripped naked one by one, and pushed inside for buyers to inspect.You are only allowed to look outside the rope, but you are not allowed to touch it.Otherwise, they will serve with swords and guns.

Huang Ande knew that some buyers from other places were extremely picky, and they didn't even want some scars on their skin.A young woman with a good body, good looks and skin can be sold for a maximum of five taels of silver—not to mention only one-tenth of the purchase price in Jiangnan. You are never allowed to inspect a girl in Jiangnan like this.It's no wonder that the traffickers in the Nanzhi area would rather risk their lives with their heads tucked into their belts to "buy goods" here.

On weekdays, Huang Ande would have to make fun of this young man, but the current "spring" is a boundless scene of misery.The women's families were ruined first, and then they were repeatedly abused and abused by the rebels. The tortured women were stunned and looked dull.She could do whatever she was asked to do, even under the watchful eyes of a group of men, she was completely shameless and allowed to be judged by others—even a well-informed man like him would not be interested in making jokes.
