wife and husband

Chapter 2

Looking at the bustling market in front of him, Shanzao was a little surprised. Hasn't this place been affected by the war?Why do people here still live so leisurely?
But soon she had no time to care about other things, because Li Guaizi had already started yelling loudly.

"Sell a slave, you can endure hardships if you are honest and responsible, so come and buy with confidence..."

Shanzao smiled wryly in her heart, she was originally a decent girl from a good family, but she became a slave after being called by the kidnapper.

Soon, people gathered around, asking for young girls, or strong young men, such as a skinny, thin and small "dumb" like her, and they shook their heads repeatedly when they asked.

After watching for a while, the people slowly dispersed. Li Guaizi was a little anxious. Seeing a man staring at her twice, he hurriedly stepped forward to sell, "Brother, look at this servant, although he is dumb, his body He's a little thinner, but he can still do some work, and he doesn't talk, so you can clean it up as you want, buy it back."

The man seemed to be interested, and took two steps in front of her, Shan Zao's heart was pounding, and when the man approached, squatted down, and was about to reach out to pinch her cheek, he said a word, "you……"

Shanzao saw the opportunity, Ah Wu bit his wrist with one bite, and held on tightly until the salty smell in his mouth slowly spread.

But in the blink of an eye, everyone didn't react. When the man screamed in pain, Li Guaizi got angry and kicked Shanzao over.

"Bastard! How dare you hurt someone! I will kill you!"

With another kick, Shanzao was kicked and turned two somersaults, her abdomen was burning, Shanzao retched a few times, her eyes turned black, her throat was sweet, she couldn't help coughing a few times, and vaguely saw her The coughed up blood scattered red flowers on the ground.

Li Guaizi wanted to beat her, but the man pointed at her nose and scolded, "You gangster, this kind of slave is also an honest man? He vomited blood, and if he didn't keep it clean, he had tuberculosis. You gangsters, all from Those refugees were abducted from the west, who knows if this little bastard has some kind of disease, pay for it! I want to see a doctor! Hurry up and pay for it!"

Li Guaizi was grabbed by his collar, and he couldn't get angry for a while, so he could only hold back his anger and smiled, "Brother, I just met today. I didn't know what would happen before. You are a big man, so don't let me go!" Count it!"

The man refused to let go, the wrist that was bitten was already red, swollen and bruised, and some blood oozes out from the side. Shanzao hadn't eaten for a long time, and she didn't have the strength to hurt him at all. That bite almost exhausted her remaining strength, The man cursed angrily, yelling to make Li Guaizi lose money.

How could Li Guaizi be easy to get along with, his face changed instantly, and he broke free from the man with a force on his arm, "You also said that this kid has tuberculosis, I advise you to go and have a look, wait a little longer, maybe even you And get tuberculosis."

When there was a commotion just now, there were still some people around, and when tuberculosis was mentioned, people dispersed instantly, and Li Guaizi was in a worse mood, but this man was also unreasonable, he would make Li Guaizi pay for everything he said.

Li Guaizi glared at Shanzao fiercely, and pushed the half-aged Xu Niang out, "It's my bad luck, this woman gave you away for nothing, so I will pay for the medical expenses, and there is nothing else. don't want."

Seeing that today's business can't be done, Li Guaizi's ruthlessness also came up, and the man's aura suddenly weakened. Mimi is gone.

As soon as he left, Li Guaizi became even more angry. He went up and stomped on Shanzao's calf. Shanzao was so painful that he almost passed out, but she forced herself to wake up, and just now she bit it without thinking. That man completely forgot that he just fell into Li Guaizi's hands, how could she have a good time?
Shanzao thought of death, it would be better to die, she would not have to suffer such torture, and would be able to reunite with her family after death, but she couldn't bear it, as it was not yet the time when all thoughts were lost, and her father often taught her when she was fleeing , As long as there is a breath, even if you live, you can't commit suicide.

"It's his grandma's business! See if I don't beat you to death!" Li Guaizi scolded and kicked Shanzao, but he didn't dare to touch it with his hands. Shanzao is a refugee from the west, maybe he really has some kind of tuberculosis , He didn't dare to move Shanzao with his hands, so he could only vent his anger with his feet.

Shanzao collapsed limply on the ground, kill her!If she dies, she will leave this world of cannibalism. As long as she thinks about what she may encounter later, she would rather bite her tongue and kill herself right now!
Chu Yunfeng came to the market with a basket of game on his back, and sent it to a restaurant he knew for money.He thought about it carefully, the rice at home was almost gone, so thinking about it, he turned and went to the rice shop.

After inquiring about the price in the rice shop, Chu Yunfeng reluctantly withdrew. The price of rice is now comparable to gold, [-] Wen for one or two meters, which is not affordable by ordinary people.

After leaving the rice shop, he turned around and went to the flour shop. A bag of flour weighed about five catties, three hundred Wen. Although the price was higher than usual, the price of flour was much lower than the price of rice.

Who told them that Baiyun Town is rich in flour?I'm afraid to put it aside, the price of rice noodles is more expensive than the price of gold.

I bought some salt and sugar, and the price was equally expensive and scary.But these things are the necessities of life, he can do without other things, but these condiments need to be prepared no matter what.

After buying these expensive things, Chu Yunfeng didn't have much money left to sell game. He took out the kettle on his waist and took a big sip of water, ready to go home.

From the town to the depths of Baiyun Mountain where he lives, it takes a few hours to walk. Usually, if he wants to go to the market, he will go out before dawn, go all the way to the town, and go back immediately after buying something. Delay, so that you can get home before the sun goes down.

There is no way, the place where he lives is really inaccessible, there are wild animals on the road from time to time, and there are too many inconvenient places to travel at night.

Turning a corner, Chu Yunfeng saw everyone gathered together, accompanied by cursing from time to time, he frowned and prepared to make a detour.

Meddling is not his style.

Usually when encountering this kind of thing, he can hide as far as he can. Now the world is not good, and people's hearts are also chaotic.

But before he took two steps, he saw a man clutching his red and swollen wrist, dragging a staggering old woman out of the crowd cursing, bumping into him and glaring at him fiercely.

"You need to have eyes when you walk! Pooh! What a bad luck!"

The man spat, gave him a blank look and left angrily.

As soon as he left, the crowd of spectators dispersed.

Chu Yunfeng frowned slightly, and didn't care too much about this kind of people. Seeing that the crowd dispersed and the noisy ones left, he turned around and planned to go home along this road.

This road is the closest to the main road outside the village. If you bypass it, you have to go around again.

Before he had gone far, he saw a short and fat man angrily kicking a limp and slumped boy with his hands and feet bound, who didn't know his life or death.

The boy remained motionless, letting the man kick him hard.There was a puddle of blood on the ground, Chu Yunfeng could see it at a glance, if this continues, within half an hour, the boy will die.

Xu Shi's last kick was too hard, the boy was kicked several times and rolled over at Chu Yunfeng's feet.Under the messy, dirty and blood-stained outline, Chu Yunfeng vaguely saw the boy's eyes open weakly.

Shanzao felt that she was really close to death, Li Guaizi kicked her hard, she was completely numb from the pain at the beginning, kicked, kicked, let her die like this.After death, throwing it into a mass grave and being eaten by wild dogs can save a life, right?

Shanzao felt that she was on the heavenly court, and fell down again in an instant, she tried hard to open her eyes, what is the heavenly court like?Will it be a place full of food, full of flowers?A place where there is no war, no dead people, father, mother, brother and brother, where everyone can be reunited?

But she didn't see anything. There was darkness in front of her eyes. It turned out that she would not go to heaven, but only to the underworld after death. Only the underworld would be so dark...

Chu Yunfeng's eyebrows twitched, looking at the dying young man at his feet, he suddenly felt a sense of pity that he shouldn't have, and he sighed slightly. Countless children like this die every day in the west.

Even so, he still couldn't bear to look at the dying young man in front of him.

Li Guaizi came over angrily, the dumb couldn't be sold anymore, and the middle-aged mistress gave it away again, two businesses were lost for no reason, how could he not be annoyed!Look at him dragging this dumb back, no matter whether he is sick or not, he will never give up until he dies!

Li Guaizi rushed up and was about to drag Shanzao away.

Chu Yunfeng moved his hand slightly, and slowly opened his mouth, "I want him." He could see clearly that the boy's hands and feet were tied up, and this short and fat man was a person who often bought and sold people here. Let's be kidnapped by him, forget it, just show kindness once, if this young man has that life to survive, let's be with him, anyway, he is alone, but he only has an extra pair of chopsticks to eat.If the young man can't survive, then he will bury him. There are many people in the world who are suffering, and he can't save them all, but he can help the one in front of him.

Li Guaizi looked at Chu Yunfeng like a fool, "This dumb man is dying, you want it too?"

It turned out to be a mute.

Chu Yunfeng sighed slightly in his heart, "Life and death depend on good fortune. Make a price!"

Li Guaizi would not refuse when business came to his door, so he immediately put on an attitude of discussing business, "Three hundred Wen."

Chu Yunfeng glanced at the half-dead jujube on the ground, "Is this worth three hundred Wen?"

Li Guaizi coughed twice, "Two hundred Wen, that's the price."

In fact, two hundred cash is not expensive, and kidnappers are also bought according to their appearance. The price for a young and beautiful girl or boy will be higher, but for a strong man, the price for a child is not low.Useless people who are handicapped or too old are usually sold for only two or three hundred coins.

"Eighty Wen, that's all." Chu Yunfeng stopped talking nonsense with him and set the price directly.

Li Guaizi still wanted to negotiate the price, but Chu Yunfeng had already dropped the eighty Wen coins left on him, picked up the jujube on the ground and left.

A dumb man who was dying, maybe still sick, could sell [-] coins. Li Guaizi calmed down a little, put the money into his arms, and looked at Chu Yunfeng's burly back as he left.

"Big fool!"

he spat.
