Chapter 298 Fuso Slave
After Xie Fengyue made up her mind, she divided the people into three teams as soon as they arrived in Fusang. She personally led one team to buy slaves, Li Xiaobao led the team to find Zhaiye, and the other team was from the Lan family. She looked for them at will. He gave them an excuse to buy supplies for their return voyage.
Nowadays, landlocked countries such as Qian'an are considered superior countries to Fusang, so Xie Fengyue's purchase of slaves went very smoothly. Her whole family wanted them, and she would not worry about them becoming slaves, so she could just work honestly.
I bought about a hundred slaves, which was enough for the time being, but there were too many slaves to fit on the Lan family's ship.
Xie Fengyue made a preliminary plan to transport this group of people back to Yongning first.
Except for the areas where a few "luxurious" houses are located, the rest of Yongning is just like a rundown house. Now that there are people, at least the government offices must be built. It can't rain heavily outside and light rain inside.
After Xie Fengyue settled the matter, she took the people back to the dock. As soon as she arrived, Li Xiaobao followed her.
The dozen or so people he brought were all carrying large baskets on their backs. The green narrow leaves inside mixed with the smell of fish on the dock, which made Xie Fengyue squint her eyes.
"Girl, the locals said that there are two types of herbs here: narrow-leaf and broad-leaf. I thought that people would come here, so I just bought both. Because those who bought more gave me a basket of herbs to plant. ”
Compared with these Fusang people, Li Xiaobao's figure was too huge, and it was just right for their backpacks. There was an indescribable feeling of disharmony on Li Xiaobao's back.
Xie Fengyue covered her mouth, coughed a few times and said, "Okay, let's wait for the Lan family to come back, then we'll go back."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard exclamations and the sound of falling into the water. When Xie Fengyue followed the sound, the boat was already in a mess.
Xie Fengyue crossed the plank in two and three steps and got on the boat and asked: "What's wrong?"
The dull slaves all stood on the deck and looked directly at Xie Fengyue, but no one spoke.
Xie Fengyue then lay on the railing and looked down. The crew members who jumped out came back from the water: "It's the husband on the boat. He slipped and fell into the water."
Xie Fengyuexin immediately mentioned, You Heng!
Didn't she tell him not to leave the cabin?
Now she didn't care about blaming and asked directly: "Where is the person? Have you found him!"
"Brothers have gone into the water and are still looking for it."
Xie Fengyue calmed down, knowing that it was useless to rush now. She ordered the soldiers with a solemn face: "Place these people on the ground floor."
It wasn't until the deck was cleared that Xie Fengyue saw two crew members dragging the unconscious You Heng onto the ship. Before Xie Fengyue could get over to take a look, Gao Shan rushed over crying: "Lang Jun, how could this be possible? After suffering this kind of punishment, I wish I could fall into the water for my husband.”
After crying, he pressed wildly on You Heng's chest. It wasn't until You Heng vomited out a large pool of water that he wiped his tears and said: "Madam, my husband is weak and fell into the water now. He can't If it gets windy again, I’ll take Langjun back to the cabin.”
"Do I need to get off the ship and see a doctor?" Xie Fengyue asked.
Gao Shan shook his head like a rattle: "In this small country of Fusang, I don't dare to let them treat my husband. I have the medicine he needs, and I will make it right away."
He has said so, so Xie Fengyue naturally has no need to say more. She nodded: "If you need anything, just ask, don't let your husband suffer."
In response to Xie Fengyue, Songshan carried the dazed You Heng on his back, and he walked towards the cabin without looking back.
This scene made Xie Fengyue frown.
However, Xie Fengyue didn't care much. She was still busy now. Although the slaves were reluctantly placed, they still had to be watched over. She carefully searched for a few ferocious-looking slaves among the soldiers and sent them to her. After leaving the warehouse, he sent people to look for the Lan family and then managed to finish the work.
Before he could drink water, the soldiers guarding the warehouse came to report.
"Girl, these slaves won't sit down." Fu Bing said with difficulty.
Xie Fengyue turned to the warehouse again.
The cargo ship belonging to the Lan family was divided into two floors. The bottom was the warehouse where the goods used to be loaded. As soon as the soldiers opened the door of the warehouse, Xie Fengyue was frightened and took half a step back. In the dim cabin, the light from the two or three small windows opened in the ship wall barely illuminated the cabin.
The air was filled with a damp and musty smell, mixed with the faint smell of sweat and previous cargo.
More than a hundred slaves were arranged tightly together, like imprisoned ghosts, standing quietly in this oppressive space.
Their eyes, as if attracted by magnets, were staring straight at the door that had just opened. The door seemed to be a barrier separating light and darkness, and now, it was slowly opening, letting in a faint beam of light.
As soon as Xie Fengyue's figure appeared, he was locked with this gaze.
If this scene were played by any other girl, she would probably be frightened and run away.
Xie Fengyue only took half a step back, which was already considered excellent.
She stood at the door and took out a whistle from her arms, put it to her mouth and blew a few tunes, and the dull slaves all sat down.
This scene made the soldiers behind him stunned.
Xie Fengyue also didn't want to explain, because she didn't know what to say.
It’s not that she looked down on slaves, it was actually Fuso’s slaves and dogs who were more intelligent than them. When they bought them, the slave owner said that the reason why these people are cheap is because they are stupid, and they have to blow a whistle to remind them of almost everything they do.
Xie Fengyue thought at first that the slave owner was trying to persuade her to buy something expensive, that's why she said this.
Now I look at it... but there is none.
Forget it, these people are better than being docile. No matter how they are beaten or scolded, they just bow their heads and accept it. They don't even dare to resist with their eyes. Buying some obedient ones is better than anything else.
Xie Fengyue handed the whistle to the soldiers on the side: "In the future, just blow the whistle first and then let them do their work."
After finishing dealing with the slaves, Xie Fengyue was ready to go see You Heng. Before he could reach his cabin, the captain of the Lan family came to find him.
What they said was that the head of the Lan family only asked them to carry Xie Fengyue and his party, and they would have to pay extra for the goods.
Now that she was on the boat, Xie Fengyue had to endure it no matter how angry she was.
She did have weapons, but this was at sea. Xie Fengyue would not act according to her temper in such a big matter. She swallowed her anger and silently handed over fifty taels of silver, which was regarded as payment for the goods.
As soon as the Lan family left, Xie Fengyue made up her mind. The first thing she did after returning to Yongning was to get a few boats that belonged only to her.
She held her breath for a while. She had never felt seasick during the whole journey, but now she actually felt a little dizzy and nauseous, so she simply let Hua Rui support her back to the cabin to rest.
Gongzi Yan waited in the room for a long time but did not see Xie Fengyue coming, feeling both uncomfortable and happy at the same time.
What's sad is that Miss Xie doesn't care about him at all.
What makes her happy is that Miss Xie doesn't care about "him" at all.
Songshan handed him a bowl of dark soup and asked, "Didn't Mr. Lang say that he would use this to escape? Why not?"
Gongzi Yan felt unhappy and glanced at him coldly and said: "You think I don't want to? Ha, those crew members are like fishes. I dug them all out from the bottom of the boat."
Songshan
"How are you preparing, sir?"
Gongzi Yan took a sip of the medicine and frowned in pain: "When I return to Yongning, I will be seriously ill first. I will die if I am too sick to be saved."
