Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

It is important to develop your own power.

Especially today, the cannon fodder encountered something that might be related to the main storyline, but it almost failed because of lack of manpower. This is not acceptable.

He can't always rely on the male protagonist's power. If one day they become enemies, Gu Yue won't even have the chance to resist and will be killed directly.

Even biological fathers and sons can fight each other with weapons, let alone they are adopted children?

No big company is built by one person.

Gu Yue thought so as he stood at Xishikou.

The entire West Market is close to the city gate, and outside the city is connected to a large area of ​​farmers and fields. The West Market is also surrounded by brick and earth bungalows, belonging to the middle and lower grade of the Yuning Prefecture.

Due to the large number of farmers, this is also a place for buying and selling livestock, poultry, fruits and vegetables. The two main streets are divided equally on the left and right, one side is for crops and the other side is for livestock products.

Of course, the tooth market is indispensable.

No matter how open and developed Northern Qin was, it was essentially a feudal society.

Although it cannot be called slavery, there are still slaves in Northern Qin. Most of them are prisoners of war from other countries and the families of guilty officials. There are also people who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery because of poverty and their descendants. After all, Northern Qin did not have targeted poverty alleviation, and there were many poor people and beggars.

Selling oneself to bury one's father or even one's entire family is not an artistic creation, but a real existence.

Gu Yue was in the market where domestic slaves were bought and sold.

In order to facilitate management and protect human rights, the sale of domestic slaves would be conducted through official intermediaries called "yahang". And they would not be openly called slaves, but usually "servants", "laborers" or "domestic slaves".

Therefore, this slave market was not as Gu Yue had imagined, with rows of slaves tied up with numb expressions waiting to be picked. On the contrary, the streets of the slave market were clean and tidy. Some of the slave men waiting to be bought and sold were standing or sitting, scattered on the street. They did not look sad, but looked like waiters in a slave market.

The streets were lined with sheds. In the innermost part of the sheds, on the open space closest to the houses, there were slave "commodities". There were not many people, and no women were seen. On the side close to the street, there were chairs, where managers and the like sat. There were signs in front of the tables, which roughly stated what business this pawnshop was doing.

Northern Qin was prosperous, and there was a lot of slave trading, but it was a long-term business, unlike the rice and flour industry, which was open every day. Therefore, these brokers were not just human agents, but also cattle and sheep brokers, so they were mixed with the livestock market.

Gu Yue could hear the sounds of cows and sheep in the distance when he stood here.

He couldn't help but recall that when he bought those chicks in Liuli Town, he also gave the money to a man who looked like a middleman. Did he already come into contact with the brokerage industry at that time?

It was just past noon and everyone was drowsy. A few managers who were still awake saw Gu Yue turning over here. Although they were still sitting, their attitude was quite enthusiastic: "What business do you want to do, sir?"

"I want a few people." Gu Yue looked at the sign in front of the manager closest to him, which had an item about selling slaves.

"Okay, what do you want?" The pawnbroker stood up. To be honest, Gu Yue looked more like someone who was selling himself as a slave. He observed him carefully and said with a smile, "Is this your first time doing this business, sir?"

"Yes." Gu Yue smiled, "You look very carefully."

"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with this business." Wu Huo followed behind and said at this moment. He came just to support Gu Yue and prevent him from being cheated.

Gu Xu said nothing, pulled his hat down low, pretending to be invisible.

"Haha, you are obviously an expert." The dental clerk complimented him and turned to Gu Yue: "What age do you want, man or woman? Do you have any special requirements?"

"Someone younger, I want someone who is capable and good at fighting." Gu Yue said, "He must be able to withstand three moves from this brother."

He pointed at the fire.

"No problem." The pawnbroker smiled. He turned around, passed the few people sitting in the shed, and went into the house.

After a while, the steward led three people out. The people in the shed seemed to be ready to make a move, and they secretly moved towards Gu Yue.

"Sir, these three people all know some martial arts." He asked the three people to stand in a row.

The tallest one in the middle was directly passed by Gu Yue. That guy was three times bigger than Gu Dashi, too conspicuous! Although it has a deterrent effect, the budget is limited, so you can't just buy it if it's useful.

On the left was a man of medium height, about 30 years old, with flickering eyes. Gu Yue felt that he had a bad face and looked like a rat. But he still let him fight with Wuhuo, and he was knocked down in no time.

The middle-aged man lay on the ground and cried out in pain.

Gu Yue's heart tightened. Was he trying to blackmail me?

The pawnbroker's manager had him carried away, smiling: "You don't like these two guests? Then take a look at the remaining one?"

Gu Yue glanced at him and seemed to understand a little bit. So those two were just for show?

The point is that this person is left?

Gu Yue couldn't help but feel dissatisfied because of his preconceived notions.

People are like this. Although covert advertising is effective, if it is discovered, people will only be scolded.

Looking at the remaining man, Gu Yue was startled by his appearance.

This... this is 50% of the face of an important supporting character, right?

There were good-looking people in the entire Yuning Mansion, but there was only one person who gave him a strange feeling like this person. He was not particularly good-looking, and he was not even handsome, but Gu Yue felt deeply impressed for no reason.

Could it be some important supporting role beside Gu Xu?

"What's your name?" Gu Yue asked.

The young man looked at him, his lips moving, but no words came out for a long time.

"His name is Shi San. Although he can't speak, he is quite skilled." The dental clerk smiled. Dumb people with good skills are easy to sell, but Shi San's brain is not very good and it is difficult to communicate, so he has not been sold until now. He has a big appetite, so the dental clerk will lose money if he keeps him.

"Thirteen? A number?" Gu Yue thought to himself that this was too dark and weird!

"The word 'stone' means in stone." the steward explained.

Also a stone? What a coincidence. Gu Yue searched his memory again and again, but there was no such person around Gu Xu in the original text!

However, as usual, Wuhuo and Shi San were invited to compete. However, this man seemed not to understand the instructions and was knocked to the ground by Wuhuo's sweeping kick. He lay there straight and could not get up.

The steward was so anxious that he kicked him immediately: "You idiot, I told you to show your skills to this guest! Show your skills!"

Shi San lay quietly, his eyes fixed on Gu Yue for a long time, then swept across Wu Huo and Gu Xu who was wearing a straw hat.

"Dashi, this guy must have some skills." Wuhuo whispered.

"Can you feel it?" Gu Yue asked in a low voice.

Shi San, who was lying down, suddenly jumped up.

Wu Huo felt the murderous aura coming towards him.
