From the first day Yin Xuetong entered the prisoner camp, people around her kept telling her that it was hopeless to get out of the prisoner camp in this life. Because the most basic requirement for those rich families to buy people was a healthy body, and she …
Yin Xuetong stroked her soft right arm with her left hand. This arm had been broken for more than half a year. The tendons and veins in it were necrotic. Even the best doctor in the Qinghe Town couldn't cure it. She couldn't understand why a disabled person like her would be selected.
She raised her head and saw the woman standing in the crowd who had never said a word. That was her future master. What was her standard for selecting people?
In the third round, Qu Qingning took the Dictionary of Dahan and began to test the knowledge of the remaining people more deeply. Some people answered very fluently, some people stammered, and some people were pale and couldn't answer at all.
Soon it was Yin Xuetong's turn. She saw that Qu Qingning pointed to the first word of the first line on the first page of the Dictionary of Dahan indifferently. She suddenly opened her eyes slightly. She clearly saw that this person turned to the middle to test others. Why did it become the simplest first page when it came to her?
The first word was "people".
Yin Xuetong became more and more confused, but she also knew that it was a good opportunity. She immediately replied nervously, "People are like you and me. They are all sentient beings in the world."
Qu Qingning wanted to laugh and cry, but he finally didn't show any expression. He turned the Dictionary of Dahan to the middle to test the next person.
Soon, the remaining more than 30 people were divided into three teams. The first team couldn't answer, the second team answered half of the questions correctly, and the third team answered completely.
Qu Qingning returned to Su Li. Su Li glanced at Yin Xuetong in the crowd, who had lost her right arm and was confused and a little excited. A ray of light flashed through her eyes. At this time, Fang Yuan also came. His lips were moving, but no sound came out.
Condensed the sound into a line and transmitted the sound Secret!
When Yan Ziye saw this scene, his pupils instantly shrank. Transmitted the sound Secret was a secret method that could only be mastered by the masters in the acquired eighth hurdle. The origin of these three people was really terrible!
When he thought that he was only in the acquired fourth hurdle, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
It turned out that compared with the people in the martial arts circle, he was not as good as a servant.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Su Li nodded slightly. She inadvertently glanced at a skinny teenager in the first team. Then, she took the number plates of more than thirty people and began to pick the people herself.
The boss of the broker house bent over and stood beside Su Li. He immediately shouted cleverly, "Those whose names I read, stand out immediately!"
Su Li looked at the boss of the broker house and selected six number plates and handed them to him.
"Zhang Heniu!"
"Li Sandan!"
"Wu Yajun!"
"…"
Those whose names were called immediately looked happy and stood up. They were all in the team that couldn't answer at all. They didn't expect that they would be chosen, and they were overjoyed.
The boss of the broker house stopped when he read the sixth name. It seemed to be over.
Yin Xuetong's face turned pale. Sure enough, she was not there.
"Mr. Li?"
The boss of the broker house held the number and asked with some doubts. The people she called out were not good. Why did she choose these people to buy?
Su Li smiled slightly, and her strange voice sounded in front of a group of captives for the first time, "Except for these six, I want the rest. Boss of the broker house, calculate the price. "
Ah?!
The boss of the broker house looked at the remaining 27 people and was suddenly dumbfounded. Almost all of them were bought?! In addition to the six he had brought, there were a total of thirty-three people!
Big business!
The boss of the broker house was happy. Suddenly he thought of the origin of the three people and couldn't help but feel bitter. He said honestly, "Mr. Li, the six boys of the broker house are not valuable. I can make the decision to give them to you. But you have to pay a sum of money for the captives. One person is one hundred taels. Twenty-seven people, that is two thousand and seven hundred taels of silver."
Su Li nodded slightly and gestured to Qu Qingning. The latter immediately took out twenty-seven notes with a denomination of one hundred taels of silver and handed them to the officer.
Seeing that Su Li was so forthright, the boss of the broker house immediately smiled. He helped the military camp to get so much money. His benefits were far greater than those of the six boys who were slaves.
The officer was also happy to get the hot notes. He arranged two large carriages for Su Li to go back.
Before leaving, Su Li looked at Yan Ziye who was a little distressed and said slowly, "If you can't make up your mind, it's better to let them choose their own future."
Yan Ziye was slightly stunned when he heard that. He was about to ask what Su Li meant, but he saw that she had gone away with the carriage.
After coming to his sense, Yan Ziye looked at a group of girls around him with eyes full of pleading. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was really impulsive.
As soon as they left the captives camp, a group of young boys and girls sitting in the carriage immediately became restless. Pairs of eyes looked out and greedily breathed the air outside.
Seeing that Qu Qingning was sitting on the edge of the carriage door and pretending to take a nap, the boy sitting in the innermost part of the carriage immediately wanted to escape. But as soon as he turned around, before he had time to climb out of the window, a knife suddenly flashed, and the tip of a knife was already against his neck. If he moved an inch further, he would see blood.
The cold feeling from the blade immediately gave him goosebumps, and his whole body was stiff and couldn't move.
Qu Qingning snorted coldly and took back the long knife. He said lightly, "If anyone dares to escape again, I will not be merciful. Master only wanted to buy twenty people. Now there are thirteen more. It's not a big deal if one or two people die. "
As soon as he said this, the people sitting in the carriage suddenly became quiet. They just got out of that damn place, and no one wanted to die on the road.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Qu Qingning sat down again, but he was so angry in his heart. Su Li definitely did it on purpose. She actually didn't let him stay in Xuetong's carriage.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the thin boy sitting in the middle of the crowd, who seemed to be struggling to raise his head. He couldn't help but feel strange.
He seemed to have seen this face somewhere, but he couldn't remember … Who was he to Fang Yuan?
At this moment, the same escape happened in the previous carriage. Fang Yuan silently cut off an arm of the person who escaped, and the whole carriage suddenly became quieter than the captives camp.
Yin Xuetong shrank in the innermost part of the carriage with a pale face. She felt something was wrong. The person who bought them turned out to be from the martial arts circle. She used to hear people in her family that some evil families used people to do experiments, and the means were extremely cruel.
She couldn't have been bought by that kind of family, right? Otherwise, why would they even want a severed arm?
At the thought of this, Yin Xuetong's face became paler and bloodless. She just escaped from the wolves and entered the tiger's mouth?
Just when Yin Xuetong was thinking about it and almost wanted to commit suicide, the carriage finally stopped.
"Everyone, get off in turn. Don't make noise!"
Hearing Fang Yuan's voice, the two carriages were silent for a moment. The first one to get off was the skinny boy. He climbed out of the carriage with difficulty. When he saw the gorgeous building in front of him, his expression changed instantly.
With the first one, the remaining thirty-two servants got off the carriage one after another. When they saw the luxurious and exquisite three-story building, they were all shocked. Were they going to live here in the future?!
Su Li and the others didn't stop and walked into the restaurant. After a while, Heidan and others came out.
They were originally beggars and were trained by Qu Qingning and Ling Li successively. At this moment, they had already shed the inferiority of beggars. They were all calm and composed, quite like disciples of big sects.
They were all wearing the uniform of the Linli Building designed by Su Li herself. There were two kinds of clothes. One was the ordinary maid's clothes, which were light blue and pink. The other was the black and gold steward's clothes worn by Heidan and others. The word "Linli" was embroidered with gold thread on the right chest. It was simple but imposing!
Many of the prisoners of war who had never seen the world couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Yin Xuetong and the skinny youth's eyes flashed at the same time. They could tell that these youths all had cultivations.
Heidan had never been so glorious as today. He was very happy. However, he thought that he had even met Young Master. Naturally, he wouldn't be frightened by such a small scene. Then he said loudly,
"You are in the Linli Building today! Those who pass the test and training will become the fellows of the Linli Building in the future. Come with me. "
Heidan led a group of people to bypass the Linli Building and came to the open space behind the Linli Building. There were a lot of bluestone bricks and wood.
Heidan coughed slightly and pointed to the bricks and wood. He said, "This is your first test. Whoever can build his residence can pass the test and stay. During this period, the Linli Building will provide you with food so that you won't starve to death. As for the rest, you have to rely on yourselves. There are guards around this place. If you want to escape, don't blame me for being merciless! "
Heidan's words were not pleasant to hear, but everyone's eyes gradually brightened. There was something called "hope" in their hearts. They had been marked as prisoners of war. If they escaped, they would be killed immediately. They even thought about how miserable their future would be. However, they didn't expect that they would be bought as fellows. They would have food and shelter and even wouldn't be restricted in the future. Such a good thing couldn't be found easily.
Almost without any hesitation, everyone immediately picked up the bricks and wood and began to build the house they would live in in the future. The skinny boy's eyes burst with indescribable light. He grabbed a stone and was about to lift it up. However, he didn't move for a long time, which made others laugh. But the skinny boy seemed to have not heard it and continued to struggle with the stone.
Yin Xuetong gritted her teeth and pushed the stone with one hand. However, her right hand drooped. She couldn't pile up the stone. How could she build a house like this?
Many people's eyes fell on the two people. Where there were people, there would be a competition. The skinny boy and Yin Xuetong seemed to be the two worst among the thirty-three people. If there was no accident, they would soon be driven out of the Linli Building and become beggars on the street or go back to the prisoner camp where life was worse than death.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Heidan to reappear. He pointed at the skinny boy and Yin Xuetong and shouted, "You two, come here!"
The skinny boy was sweating and panting like a tuberculosis ghost. It seemed that he would die in the next second. Hearing Heidan's shout, he dragged his feet and slowly walked over. A trace of anxiety finally appeared in his silent eyes. His weak voice came into Heidan's ears,
"There is still a long time before the appointed date. I can build the house …"
He finally saw the chance to live. He didn't want to give up!
Yin Xuetong was also pale. She held her right arm and her beautiful eyes were full of begging.
Heidan looked strange, but he still didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said, "Come with me."
