When they arrived at the brokerage, Zhao Guizhi originally wanted to personally help pick out a few guards, but Xingxing pointed to a corner and said she wanted to buy the people in there. Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua ran over there eagerly.
All they found was a disheveled woman locked in a cage.
That's it?
Once they've confirmed that this is the person they need, Xingxing must have made a mistake.
“It’s her, she’s amazing, let’s buy her.” Xingxing said with absolute certainty, and then walked up to the cage to show her determination.
Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua had a hard time explaining themselves. They felt that Xingxing was pitying the girl, but they themselves had to escape for their lives. What would it mean to take a burden along with them?
Zhao Guizhi frowned and objected, "Now is not the time to do good deeds. Take care of yourselves first. Why worry about other people's lives?"
"Mom and Dad, Aunt, please believe me and buy her. She really can protect us and won't hold us back." Xingxing looked at the three elders with pleading eyes and pouted aggrievedly.
Zhao Guihua: "?"
Xingxing wouldn't buy this person for no reason; perhaps he really is very useful. Yes, she has to trust her daughter.
"Buy her, just buy her." Zhao Guihua turned around and asked the broker about the price.
"Six taels of silver. This silly girl is strong enough to be used like an ox," the slave trader said.
"It's too expensive, and they even keep you in a cage. It's uncomfortable to look at. I can't give you more than three taels of silver." Zhao Guihua immediately cut the price in half.
"Five taels of silver. I spent three taels of silver to buy this person."
"Three and a half ounces, sell if you're willing, otherwise forget it," Zhao Guihua said with some disdain.
The slave trader frowned, clearly unwilling, and said he would only sell it for four ounces.
"This person looks like he's about to die, and you still won't sell him. If you don't sell him soon, he might die tomorrow," Zhao Guihua said irritably, glancing at the dying man in the cage.
The slave trader's eyes flashed, and he felt a little uneasy. The silly girl in the cage couldn't speak clearly, but she had the strength to lift mountains and carry heavy cauldrons. He wasn't exaggerating when he said she could be used as an ox.
This woman was originally a peasant girl from a remote village. She happened to run into a group of young men who were hunting in the mountains. The silly girl was hunting a wild boar when the young men shot the boar dead with an arrow and tried to steal it.
The silly girl refused and fought with the group of people. She injured several young masters on her own, and the consequences were predictable. Later, her grandparents were killed by them, and she herself was captured, beaten, and tortured for a month before being sold into slavery.
If she weren't mentally challenged, she would probably be dead by now.
