Chapter 34 Top Businessman Wan
Fortunately, God still favors Wenwan.
Without giving her another chance to struggle, the woodshed door opened and the shop owner appeared with a whip.
The whip in his hand is a burr whip specially used for beating people. It is made of the hardest and roughest burlap and can tear open the flesh with one stroke.
Wen Wan shivered suddenly, but still grinned and gave a stiff smile.
"I want to buy a roast lamb."
The shop owner, who had a full beard on his face, pointed to the roasted lamb on the iron rack with a cold face after hearing this.
"There is just such a sheep today, but it was burnt by the little bastard lamb. I just taught him a lesson. If you want to buy it, I will give you one tael of silver cheaper, and you will get nine taels."
The boss gave the price, which was just doing business, and he had no intention of doing anything to them.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. As for business, it's fine if we can talk about it.
"It's just a burnt belly. I like to eat a little burnt, so it doesn't bother me. Otherwise, I'll give you enough money. Don't hit the guy inside."
The boss just wants money. There is no reason not to agree if he has money.
"Girl is kind-hearted, then I will wrap it up for you."
The shop owner turned out to be a lame man. He turned around and entered the house, dragging a tall and thin boy out.
He kicked the boy on the crook of the leg and said, "Go and load the sheep for the guest!"
As soon as the young man appeared, Wen Wan was really shocked.
She knew that he must have been beaten in the house before, but she did not expect that he was not beaten at all, but was clearly subjected to inhuman abuse.
The boy's skin was sallow, and he was so thin that he was just skin and bones. He looked malnourished at first glance. New wounds, large and small, were superimposed on old scars, and almost no piece of skin was intact.
I really don’t know how he survived such torture.
"Sister Xiaowan..." Shen Zhou was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid behind Wen Wan.
Wen Wan patted Shen Zhou on the back comfortingly, "Don't be afraid."
When the shop owner saw this, he whipped the boy on the back again.
"Ugly thing, what are you doing standing still? Don't you see that all the guests are frightened by you?"
The whip fell on the young man, his eyes were empty and he was silent.
He didn't even look at Wen Wan, as if he was used to the evil of human nature.
Wen Wan thought, there must have been hope in those eyes, but there were too many people watching indifferently, which wiped out his hope.
The look in his eyes was too shocking.
So much so that Wen Wan had a feeling that maybe after today, he would not choose to live in such pain again.
Many years later, when Wen Wan learned about the young man's state of mind at that time, she was extremely glad that she had made a correct judgment.
"Boss, do you want to sell this slave of yours? It's quite beaten, so it's good to use it to vent your emotions."
Wen Wan pretended to be chatting casually, and her eyes glanced at the word "slave" branded on the young man's neck.
The boss wiped his hands and handed over the whip, "Do you want to try it? I'll give it to you to play with."
Wen Wan took the whip and pretended to be shrewd, "Boss, don't let me whip him a few times. You said I broke your slave, do you want me to compensate you?"
A guilty conscience flashed in the boss's eyes, that's what he really thought just now.
At first glance, Wenwan looks like she is pampered by a wealthy family, so it would be better if she could extort some money.
After being exposed, the boss laughed dryly and said, "How can that be possible? It's just a slave that has been sold to several hands. How much money can it be worth?"
"That's it," Wen Wan hesitated, "How about this? If you sell this to me, I think it's half dead. If you buy it back, you'll probably die within a few days of playing with it."
"Sell it?"
The philistineness of the shop owner and businessman immediately appeared, "Look, I am the only one in this shop, and I am just helping out with this slave. If you buy it, my business will be difficult to run."
Wen Wan was already prepared, "Oh, that's okay, I won't buy it. I just whipped myself twice to get over my hand addiction." When the boss heard this, he didn't want to buy it?
She doesn't have enough sincerity in buying things.
Wen Wan: "As promised, I will whip you twice and beat you to death and cripple you, but you are not allowed to blackmail me into paying you."
She raised the whip and was about to strike, with such ferocity that she seemed to use all her strength to beat the person to death.
Between having no money after beating him to death, and getting some money by selling it to her, the boss decisively chose the latter.
"No, girl, you give me a price and I'll sell him to you."
Wen Wan secretly rejoiced in her heart, her goal was achieved, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Then...just ten taels of silver?"
The boss frowned, "Is it the same price as roasted lamb?"
Wen Wan curled her lips and said in disgust: "The roasted lamb can also give me a full meal. He is half dead. If he is beaten to death later, I will have to buy a straw mat to bury him, and it will cost a lot of money."
It makes sense. The boss has been worried about this matter these days.
This kid has no will to live, and he probably won't survive for a few days.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Girl, please add some more?" the boss said.
Wen Wan sighed, "I really can't add more. If you can't bear to part with it, forget it. It's just a thing anyway. I won't lose anything if I don't buy it."
She raised her whip again.
The boss gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"
Wen Wan thought to herself, this is a good deal, the price of one sheep saved a life.
The boss thought to himself, this is a good deal. A dying slave can be exchanged for ten taels of silver.
As a result, both buyers and sellers feel that they are getting a big advantage.
After a while, Wen Wan happily walked out of the shop with the boy and the roasted sheep.
The boss took the money with a smile on his face and closed the store door, saying hello.
"Girl, I've paid for my money and I don't recognize it when I leave the counter. Next time you come to visit, I'll give you a roasted lamb's hoof."

Wenwan went out for a meal, but came back with something to buy.
Everyone in the side courtyard didn't understand this very much.
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. After all the people have been bought back, they can only be resettled.
Wen Wan asked Shen Zhou to take the boy to wash up, and then found clean clothes for the boy to change into.
She happily sat and gnawed on the leg of lamb. Needless to say, the roasted lamb was indeed authentic. One bite left a fragrant aroma on her lips and teeth.
With this skill, she will be very lucky in the future.
Shen Zhou knocked on the door and came in, grabbing the young man's wrist and pulling him in.
"Come in, Sister Xiaowan won't beat you, she's just trying to scare the boss."
"My sister Xiaowan has a beautiful heart and a kind heart. She is the most gentle and kind. She never hits anyone. She is so kind."
When Wen Wan heard Shen Zhou's compliment, she burst out laughing.
Sure, Shen Zhou is a good guy and he understands her very well.
She was exactly what he said, absolutely perfect.
The young man stood at the door. When he raised his eyes, what he saw was a gentle and bright smile.
A fair-skinned girl with delicate facial features and a slight dimple on her cheek when she smiles.
A bit of broken light fell in her eyes, shining as brightly as the stars in the sky.
At that time, the young man realized that when some people smile, their whole bodies will light up.
