Chapter 30 The New Member of Zhenyaofang

Ye Tong looked at Yaonu's nervous expression, thought of the corpses all over the ground outside, and said lightly: "After the reconstruction of Zhenyaofang, the scale has increased a lot, but the popularity has also decreased. In a few days, we will leave for the county. It will take at least several months to go, so I need to find someone to look after the house!"

"have!"

Yao Nu said without thinking.

Ye Tong was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Who?"

Yao Nu said: "Lame old lady."

Ye Tong was surprised and said: "That lame old lady who begs for a living at the entrance of the alley? She looks older than you, right? Walking with a black carbon stick, it seems that a gust of wind can blow her down, what do you think?" Let her take care of our nursing home?"

Yao Nu was silent for a while, and then said: "The old master said that anyone in the entire Hanshan City can be provoked, except her. I even suspect that she has something to do with you."

Ye Tong's complexion changed slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Yao Nu said: "Ten years ago, three months after you were brought here by the old master, she begged here and never left since then. The hut at the entrance of the alley can only accommodate one person, and she stayed there all the time. She lived here for ten years. Whether it was the scorching sun or the scorching heat, or the ice and snow, she never left."

Ye Tong said: "Even so, it doesn't prove that she has anything to do with me, does it?"

Yao Nu said: "I have observed her for so many years, except that every time you give her something to eat, her eyes will soften a lot, and once other people get close to her, she will be on guard. Outsiders may not be able to see it, but I But I can feel it."

Ye Tong asked: "Are you sure that she can keep the house?"

"able!"

Yao Nu answered firmly.

Ye Tong didn't speak any more, he passed by the drug slave, and after leaving the gate of Zhenyaofang, he walked step by step to the entrance of the alley along the path paved with blue stones, and after just half an hour, Ye Tong saw the alley In front of a dilapidated small shack, a ragged, unkempt old woman sat slumped in a corner with a black carbon stick in her arms.

In the entire Hanshan City, there are not many people who can be remembered by Ye Tong, and this lame old lady is one of them.

Ye Tong's gaze swept across the right leg of the lame old lady who lost half of her calf, and then she looked at the lame old lady who cast her gaze, and said: "In a few days, I will take the drug slave to the county, Unable to return within a few months, Zhenyaofang needs a housekeeper. Are you interested?"

"interested in."

The lame old lady replied without thinking.

Ye Tong turned around and walked towards the way she came, leaving only a light sentence: "Come with me!"

He didn't ask.

Even if she is related to the once independent Ye Tong, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, he doesn't need to get involved in karma. Being alive is a kind of happiness. What he can provide is to give this lame old lady a life. place.

However.

After a dozen or so steps, he stopped again, as if he had thought of something, and turned back to the lame old lady who was slowly following, and when he passed her, he said, "Follow me."

The two walked very slowly. They left the medicinal material market, crossed two blocks, and stopped in front of a tailor shop. Ye Tong looked up at the plaque and remained silent for a few seconds before raising his leg again.

"Guest officer, do you need custom clothes?"

The clever young servant came up to him and asked with enthusiasm on his face. Even when he saw the lame old lady following Ye Tong, he didn't show any disgust.

Ye Tong asked: "Can you wash up here?"

"Can."

The young servant nodded and said.

Ye Tong pointed at the lame old lady and said, "Have someone wait for her to wash, and then get her three sets of clothes that fit her. This is ten taels of blue silver, is it enough?"

"enough."

The young servant received Lan Yin with a wider smile on his face.

Ye Tong looked at the lame old lady and said, "I'll be waiting for you at Zhenyaofang."

finished.

He stepped out of the tailor shop, stood on the street, thought for a moment, and then walked towards the slave field. He didn't know the real ability of the lame old lady, but the huge treasure shop, with one more lame old lady, was still too deserted. At the very least, we can't let two dying old people do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning all the time.

slave field.

It occupies a large area and is extremely simple to build. In the entire Cold Mountain City, there are a lot of slave traders, and the number of slaves sold is no less than that of some main cities. Here, no one cares about the status of the slaves, and few people care about the life and death of the slaves. In the eyes of everyone, slaves are the existence with the lowest status, which can only be measured by the price of gold and silver.

It's very lively here.

Many adventurer teams may suffer the loss of members every time they enter the Jinluan Mountains or the southern wilderness, and every time they return, they will almost always replenish their team members here.

in addition.

People in Cold Mountain City are dying every day, and all walks of life need new recruits, which is also the reason why the slave market is booming.

After Ye Tong stepped into the slave yard, he walked very slowly. With his sharp eyes, he scanned the stone houses built one after another, and he could clearly see the slaves tied with iron chains in each stone house.

These slaves were male and female, old and young. These slaves were well-groomed, just to sell them for a good price, but their eyes were full of despair, or numbness, or hesitation.

They... can't see the future, can't see hope.

Ye Tong is not a savior, he is just a foreigner who came to this world by accident; he also does not have enough wealth to restore the slaves in the world to be free; The existence of these people cannot stop batches of poor people from being branded as slaves in the end.

"Little brother, do you want a slave?"

"The daughter of a wealthy family in the main city, the heir of a powerful family..."

"A master at the fourth level of Qi refining, a warrior with infinite strength..."

"The blood of the wild fox clan, the giant of the stone forest..."

The warm greetings from the slave traders failed to stop Ye Tong's footsteps. He was about to come to the end of the kilometer-long street, but he couldn't choose a satisfactory slave.

eyes.

It is a very important fate.

Ye Tong knows the art of physiognomy, observes its shape, looks at its aura, looks at people's temperament, and determines their fortunes.

suddenly.

Ye Tong stood still, his eyes fell on a beautiful face. This face was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Definitely?"

"She's not, she looks almost the same, but her eyes are numb, not as cunning and agile as Liu Dingding."

"The willow leaf-shaped red mark between her eyebrows proves that she has the blood of the fox clan and is a practitioner who activates the blood, but her complexion is gloomy, and her fate has been rough since she was young, and she has suffered many hardships..."

Ye Tong observed carefully, and after observing the girl with the blood of the fox clan, she looked at the young man with a grass stalk in the corner of his mouth and a lazy expression by the door.

"Satisfactory?"

The lazy young man asked casually.

Ye Tong pointed at the girl and asked, "How much?"

The lazy young man turned his head and glanced at it, and then said slowly, "I'm not a regular customer, and the price is not discounted. Eight hundred taels of blue silver, less than half a tael will not be sold."

Ye Tong took out the bank note, handed it directly to the young man, and said, "She is mine now."

The lazy young man spat out the straw, rummaged for a key, pulled the girl out from more than twenty slaves, and said, "It's up to you to decide whether to unlock the chain or not. Let me explain in advance that if you unlock the chain and she Taking the opportunity to escape has nothing to do with me."

Ye Tong seemed to have never heard of it, and under the gaze of the lazy young man, he unlocked and removed the chain. After throwing it on the ground, he stared at the girl who didn't even raise her head, and asked, "Answer my question, what's your name?"

The girl shook her head.

Ye Tong said: "Since you don't have a name, then you will be called Dingding from now on, follow my surname, Ye Dingding."

The girl finally raised her head slowly, and there was finally a trace of focus in her numb eyes. She knows one thing, if the bought slave is not given a name, he will be worse than a pig in the future, and his fate will be gloomy for the rest of his life; but if he can get a name from his master, his status will improve a lot, at least he will not be randomly kill.

"Um!"

The voice squeezed out of the girl's throat was inaudible.

Ye Tong turned around and headed back the way she came, while the girl silently followed behind Ye Tong, with no thought of running away, nor hope for future life, just like a puppet, depressed and numb.

Zhenyaofang.

After Ye Tong came back with the newly bought slave girl Ye Dingding, she saw that the drug slave came up with suspicion, and said: "She will be the maid of our precious medicine workshop from now on, you find a way to get rid of her slave brand , it doesn’t matter even if there are scars. Washing, cooking, and cleaning the yard will all be handed over to her in the future.”

Yao Nu asked in a daze: "Then what should this old slave do in the future?"

Ye Tong said without hesitation: "Cultivation, I need the protection of the strong."

practice?

Yao Nu's heart was shocked, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart. Although he could practice in the past, the old master Huo Lanqiu didn't care about his cultivation level and would not give him too much time to practice. . It will only treat him like a cow and a horse, squeezing the labor force from him.

Lord, he...

Ye Tong seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "Wait a while, the lame old lady will also come over, she is in the precious medicine workshop, she can do whatever she wants, if you want to practice, you can throw her a few silver coins crystal."

Yao Nu's eyes lit up, and he nodded without hesitation and said, "Old slave knows."

Ye Tong said: "What are you doing standing there? Take her to familiarize yourself with the environment first, eat like us, and then give her some silver taels later to buy some new clothes."

"yes!"

Yao Nu said respectfully.

Ye Tong went back to her room, found a blank piece of paper, took out the charcoal pen that she had when she had nothing to do, and began to draw a sketch on it. Gradually, the prosthetic leg parts appeared in front of her eyes.

Ye Tong thought quietly, set up mechanisms, assembled parts, and finally finished the painting after half an hour.

Through the fused memory, he knew that there were no prosthetic limbs at this time, and the broken legs and arms could only be kept like that.

"If she has cultivation, the prosthesis will be of great use to her; but if she doesn't have cultivation, at her age, it's just a piece of shit." Ye Tong thought thoughtfully.
