Chapter 70 I'm just giving it to you, why would I ask for your money?
Now the only area left to visit is D District, so she planned to make a quick decision, just go in and take a look around and leave.
Sang Yu, who had a smile on her face, stopped smiling the moment she entered Area D.
There weren't many things sold in District D, just cloth, silk, various minerals, livestock, and...slaves.
Sang Yu knew that there were slaves here. For example, a large number of people who cut trees and made charcoal were slaves.
But she really didn't expect that her own kind would be sold next to the livestock in the market.
They were locked in wooden cages, with dozens of people huddled together.
Regardless of gender, all were naked and exuded a foul odor. Only the woman's face had been scrubbed, so that her features could be clearly seen, making it easier for customers to choose.
Sang Yu even saw a little girl inside who was about the same age as Sang Xinghao.
Her cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and her already large almond-shaped eyes looked even bigger, as if only her eyes were left on her palm-sized face.
She curled up in a corner of the cage, her already thin body squeezed into a thin piece by the other people, her eyes expressionless, like a rag doll that had lost its self-awareness.
Sang Yu couldn't help but look away after just one glance. She was afraid that she would be too soft-hearted and do something irrational.
However, she wanted to stay out of other people's business, but she couldn't resist the sharp eyes of the human trafficker. He recognized the high-quality material on her body at a glance and came up to her with a smile.
"Hey, young lady, do you want to buy a maid or a pleasure girl?"
For fun? When Sang Yu heard these three words, she couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean for fun?"
Aren't these slaves bought back to be maids and servants? How can they be used for pleasure?
The sharp-nosed, monkey-faced Ren Yazi covered his mouth and chuckled twice. "Haha, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm just making fun of you like a puppy. If you like, just throw me a bone, and if you don't like, you can kick me a few times."
"These slaves have low lives but strong bodies. They are hard to kill. Even if they are killed, it doesn't matter. We can just buy another one."
At this point, he looked at Sang Yu with his small green eyes, as if seeking her approval, and asked, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
“…” Sang Yu tried to force a smile in response, but the muscles on her face seemed to be frozen and she couldn’t move at all.
After trying for a while, she chose not to force herself. She glanced at the trafficker with a cold face, and without saying a word, she walked past him and came to the cage.
Frightened by her eyes, the human trafficker was startled. Judging from her aura and expression, she couldn't be the jewel in the crown of a wealthy family in the city.
I just don't know how I ended up running out alone and ending up in a place like District D where all kinds of people gather.
But no matter how she came or why she came, she was not someone a small human trafficker like him could afford to provoke, so the best strategy was to treat her with caution.
Seeing Sang Yu walk a few steps away from the cage and then stop and refuse to move forward, the human trafficker became even more certain of his previous guess.
Children from poor families all grow up in all kinds of smelly spaces. If they don’t have lice on their bodies, they are considered to be the cleanest people.
They have long been accustomed to this smell, and only rich ladies and gentlemen would frown when they smell it.
Sang Yu walked around the cage from a distance and found that the people inside were all quite old.
Apart from the little girl who is the same age as Sang Xinghao, the youngest one is at least forty years old, and the age distribution is quite uneven.
After thinking about it, she understood what was going on. Young and strong laborers and beautiful young women would definitely be the best-selling ones even if the price was high.
The second group should be younger children. They don’t remember things, so there is no problem in buying them and raising them for a few years as a family child.
The most embarrassing thing is those children who are already able to remember things in their teens and the elderly over 40 years old. They can't do physical work or fine work, so they just eat white rice when they buy it back.
It is a bit strange that a girl of her age is picked out. Thinking of this, Sang Yu continued to look at the human trafficker with a cold face.
The human trafficker who had been watching her expression immediately put on a fawning smile, as if he was ready and would obey her orders as soon as he gave them.
Sang Yu could even hallucinate the tail swinging behind him.
Gently shaking his head to get rid of the chilling thoughts in his mind, Sang Yu pointed at the little girl and asked calmly, "How much is she?"
There were so many people in the cages, it was impossible for her to rescue them all by herself. Even if she could afford so many people, she couldn't feed them.
The family has some savings now, but is not yet rich enough to provide surplus food to support a group of people.
Perhaps all she could do was to rescue the little girl.
The trafficker's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Miss, it's not that I don't want to sell her, but she can't speak. She was born with a defect. Why don't you take a look at the girls in the cage over here? There are also girls around her age."
Sang Yu's idea was still too simple. In fact, children of the girl's age were the easiest to sell to human traffickers.
Some wealthy families in the city have a hobby that is not very visible. They like to buy young and innocent boys and girls and listen to their screams after being tortured in pain.
The girl didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck that she was born unable to speak.
The wealthy families who had originally been attracted by her face abandoned her because she couldn't speak, and she has been kept until today.
Logically speaking, if there was a chance to sell her, a valuable commodity that was a pain in the ass and a loss to her, the human traffickers would be eager to deliver her to the door.
Unfortunately, he placed too high a value on Sang Yu's status and position, so he didn't dare sell such defective goods to her.
"Mute?" Sang Yu frowned, a hint of impatience on his face, and continued, "How much is she?"
"Uh..." The trafficker looked embarrassed, but seeing her stubborn attitude, he could only quote: "If you really want it, I'll give you a 50% discount, 500 Wen."
The price he offered was not the price of normal slaves, but the price of those old and weak slaves, and he even gave them a half price discount, which was practically giving them away for free.
Sang Yu's eyebrows twitched, but he suppressed the shock in his heart and maintained an indifferent expression.
After the 50% discount, she still needed 500 Wen, which was enough for her to hire Carpenter Wang again, and he also gave her a complete set of furniture as a gift.
She couldn't come up with the money.
After the human trafficker finished quoting the price, he waited for her to say whether she wanted it or not, but that didn't happen for a long time. He raised his eyes cautiously to take a peek, but saw that the coldness on her face was even greater.
He was a very smart man. He realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "If you like it, I'll give it to you. Why would I ask you for money?"
