Chu Chaohui was going to deliver medicine at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, so he got up very early. After he washed up and went downstairs, Mu Mu was squatting at the gate of the villa, with his ears and dog hair standing on end, when he heard Chu Chaohui's footsteps , Mu Mu turned his head and shook his tail at Chu Chaohui, then turned his dog's head and continued to squat in front of the gate, as if Xiaoxiao existed outside the gate.

Chu Zhaohui gently pushed the wood aside with his toes, and opened the door of the villa.As soon as he opened the gate, Chu Zhaohui found Mouse and Huo Sizhong standing under the steps of the villa's gate.

"Morning, my lord!" Seeing Chu Chaohui appearing, the mouse immediately jumped in front of Chu Chaohui and bowed to greet him.Huo Sizhong, who was following behind the mouse, hastily followed the mouse.

"It's pretty early." Chu Zhaohui nodded to the mouse.

"My lord, we have cleaned up the yard. Please tell me what to do next!" The little mouse puffed out its small chest with an expression of merit.

Chu Zhaohui looked into the yard, and found that the dead branches and leaves in the yard had been picked up into piles by the two children. He looked towards the east sky, and the sky was only slightly pale. The two children got up before dawn. , got up and picked up the rubbish lightly in the yard. He heard rustling noises in the yard upstairs, and thought it was a small animal running into the yard.

"Good job! But in the future, don't pick up the garbage with your hands. There is a broom. Your hands must be washed when they are dirty."

"Yes, my lord!" The mouse looked at his little hands, and felt that they were only a little dusty and not dirty at all.But the adults took care of it specially, so you have to remember it in the future.

"Sizhong, take the mouse to wash your hands, and fill up the water in the kitchen tank." Chu Zhaohui assigned tasks to the two children, then opened the courtyard door and went out, turned around and closed the courtyard door before walking to the gap. go.

The mouse watched Chu Chaohui disappear into the trees before turning around and walking towards the well. Huo Sizhong was using a pressure pump to pressurize the water.

"Wow! There is water in this way!" The mouse was very interested in the pressure pump, squeezed Huo Sizhong away, and went up to press the water by himself.

"You are not allowed to play with water! Your lord told us to carry water!" Huo Sizhong was dissatisfied with the mouse's rushing action.

"I didn't play, Rotten Yumu. I didn't pull you up to work. How could you be praised by adults." The mouse pulled Huo Sizhong to get up with him, but he was too unfamiliar with the things in the villa yard and asked Huo Sizhong for help.

Zheng Yuming was the last one to wake up in the villa. When he went downstairs, Huo Sihua had already washed himself and was closely following Mu Mu. Mu Mu was watching the mouse with full vigilance. Now Mu Mu's vigilance target has changed.

"Morning, my lord!" The mouse was the quickest to jump in front of Zheng Yuming to say good morning.

"Morning, my lord!" Compared with the mouse, the brothers and sisters of the Huo family seemed to be latecomers.

"Well, good morning! The three of you come to the kitchen with me and learn how to cook." Zheng Yuming looked at the three energetic children and decided to start training them to do housework. When slaves come, it is not good to be slaves The master cooks for the slaves to eat, that will make the slaves feel that the master has no prestige.

When Chu Chaohui came back from outside the valley, the three little fellows cooked their first breakfast successfully under the guidance of Zheng Yuming. The breakfast was very simple, white porridge with noodles, and the porridge was served with pickles pickled by Zheng Yuming's wife.

In the next few days, Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming tidied up the villa and the worker's room. Some conspicuous things were put in the attic of the villa, the warehouse was cleaned up, and the tools were moved to the greenhouse. The three warehouses that were cleaned up will become The slave's transition room.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of the month, Huo Sizhong and Mu Mu were left in the villa. Today, Huo Sizhong and Huo Sihua can cook alone. If these two children and the puppy stay in the villa, they will not starve to death. Steady, the things that are delivered to him are always executed meticulously.

The mouse is too smart, Chu Chaohui is worried about him, and goes to Dacheng to buy slaves, and the mouse is brought by Chu Chaohui's side.

Leaving the valley early in the morning, Wu Da's mule cart was already waiting not far away.

A group of four rushed to Dacheng, and first went to Wu Mu's house to collect 500 gold, which was the reward Wu Da received from Doctor Xu for delivering medicine last time.After taking the money, Wu Da took it to the slave market.

The slave market has been open for an hour, and there is a lot of people inside, yelling, quotations, and counter-offers. The slaves waiting for buyers stand with their hands down like animals, allowing people to check and choose at will.

Chu Chaohui, Zheng Yuming and their party had different expressions in the slave market.Wu Da was so used to it, he didn't think much of it.The mouse's eyes rolled around, as if looking at a novelty.Zheng Yuming's expression was the worst. Seeing the slave who was not treated as a human being, his heart was churning all the time, feeling depressed.Chu Chaohui was expressionless, carefully selecting the slaves, even opening the slaves' mouths to check the teeth like other buyers, and soon, Chu Zhaohui selected more than a dozen young and strong ones. Most of the people selected are bachelors, the kind who don't have relatives to auction together.

Just when Chu Chaohui was about to buy another slave to make up twenty round numbers, there was a commotion at the gate of the slave market. A burly man in his twenties was escorted in with his hands bound. , with a straight neck and a rebellious face.

This strong man had a good physique. Once he entered the slave trading market, he attracted several people to trade, but after talking with the seller, the buyer shook his head and left.

Chu Chaohui looked at the strong slave, but he didn't go up to ask the price. He only looked at the crowd who fled famine and came to Dacheng to sell themselves. This slave group has been selected by Chu Chaohui. He has already picked them away, and now all the rest are relatives who have been auctioned off at the same time, and Chu Chaohui is going to order one at random.

A young man with a relatively strong body was pointed by Chu Chaohui, and this young man walked out under the envious eyes of everyone.Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming were outstanding in appearance, they looked very noble, they treated the little servants around them very kindly, they looked like good masters.

The young trafficker is in a good mood. His business is doing very well. Before the afternoon, half of the slaves in his hands have been sold. If he sells them for another day tomorrow, he may sell all the slaves. As the supply of slaves increases, Buyers are getting less and less. Today's business is booming, which makes the trafficker more generous. He readily gave in to Chu Chaohui's counter-offer, and the two quickly reached an agreement. All the slaves bought from him are 5 gold each. That is 500 Wu coins, or 2500 RMB.

The twenty slaves that had been purchased were lined up in two lines under Wu Da's mule whip, ready to be branded by the officials in the trading market. Just two steps away, the slave that Chu Chaohui bought at the end suddenly knelt down.

"My lord! Please! Buy my father too!"

Chu Chaohui's face darkened, and he regretted buying such a double-hearted slave. If his relatives are elsewhere, he would be worried, and he would not stay in the valley with peace of mind. And Chu Chaohui's buying a slave is not a good deed, he can't afford it Also not interested in buying old, weak, sick and disabled.

"Fuck you! It's your blessing that the lord is willing to buy you, and I don't know how to throw you into the long river!" Seeing that the slave he sold was in trouble, the trafficker whipped him quickly, fearing that Chu Zhaohui would return the slave if he was unhappy.

"My lord! Although my father's feet are handicapped, he can forge iron. If you buy my father, he can help you forge iron tools. My father's arms are still strong." The young slave kowtowed when he heard the trafficker's threat to throw the long river. Even worse, the slaves that cannot be sold will be thrown into the long river and drowned by the traffickers because they think they will bring trouble. The father of the young slaves has a lame leg, and they are older, which is equivalent to being sick and disabled in the eyes of the buyers. If you don't go out, you will end up feeding the fish in the long river.

"Strike iron?" Chu Zhaohui was slightly moved. "Which one is it?"

"That's the one sitting in that corner." Seeing hope, the young slave ignored the trafficker's whip, crawled to a corner, and dragged a middle-aged slave who was nearly forty years old to Chu Chaohui. He walked up and down on his legs, with a blank expression, and was dragged by his son in front of Chu Chaohui before he realized it, and followed his son to kowtow to Chu Chaohui.

"Just buy this father and son." Zheng Yuming's nose was sore.

"Okay, how much is this old slave?" Chu Zhaohui had already decided to buy it when he heard that the middle-aged slave could forge iron.

"300...no, 250 Wu coins." The vendor was overjoyed, he didn't expect that trash can be turned into money.

"My lord! Buy us! Buy our family..." The slaves who were with the father and son fell to their knees.

Chu Zhaohui didn't show any more mercy, and after paying the value of the lame middle-aged man, he left with the slaves, leaving behind all his pleadings.
