Chapter 201 Volume 3 Chapter 11 Shiramizu Mochizuki
Shao Qing looked expressionlessly at the men and women behind her. This group of people had old ones and young ones. They only had one thing in common, that is, they all looked good.
Among them, the young boy with the heaviest injury looked the most beautiful. He had a sharp eye and had a charm to his look.
But …
She couldn’t manage all of them! There’s too many people!
The fight was cool, but after the event was a disaster …
Why are they playing me?
Those people who were used to being slaves were skilled at reading people’s expressions. When they saw Shao Qing like this, they all got down on their knees. They look at Shao Qing with tears in their eyes, one looking more pitiful than the next.
Don’t think that slaves are pitiful, abandoned slaves are even more pitiful. If Shao Qing did not want them, they would have no place to go. They also have no ability to ensure that they could live safely, so it would just be a dead end.
Shao Qing was terrified. With so many eyes looking at her, she was really terrified. She quickly said: “You are free.”
Several people turned pale immediately. They were happy and fearful looking at Shao Qing scrapping their former master.
Happy because someone was avenging them. Scared because they feared that Shao Qing would do the same to them.
But they did not expect that Shao Qing would abandon them directly.
Those slaves had their faces change in an instant, the most brilliant young man said pitifully: “Please master, do not abandon me. I’m willing to do anything, light and heavy work, anything is possible …”
Shao Qing did not know what happened to abandoned slaves. That’s why she felt that the islanders had innate slave-like characters. Why would they rather be slaves when they were given freedom?
“Is freedom not good?”
The teenager seemed to understand that Shao Qing did not know anything and quickly said: “We are all ordinary people and have been subjected to abuse all year round. Our bodies are all weak and frail. If we do not have the protection of our masters, it’ll be useless even if we become free. We will just get bullied to death in a few days … ”
Shao Qing now understood. Even if she didn’t come out today, these people wouldn’t be able to live too long, just look at their injuries.
But since she made her move, these people belonged to her in name. If she gave up on them, then she wouldn’t be killing them, but they would still die because of her. There was basically no difference.
She can only ask Itoji Muzi: “Are there any methods to satisfy both parties?”
“You can sell them to the slave house and wait for a new owner to buy them.” Itoji Muzi hurriedly said. There was one at the base, a slave house for slave exchanges. Many people would sell their children and wait for others to buy them.
Some slaves with masters who got tired of playing with them were also sold there.
There were also many people who took their own slaves to trade with others.
Although that was a possibility, this was tantamount to gambling with your life. Because who knew who would buy them, but at least it would be better than being an abandoned slave.
Shao Qing was still more humane. She asked: “I will give you a choice now. If you are willing to leave, you can leave now. You will be free. If you are not willing to leave, I will sell you to the slave house. Dead or alive, it will depend on your destiny. You can make your own choice. Those who are willing to leave can go now.”
Everyone stayed kneeling on the ground with their heads down. No one said a word and after a long time, still no one stood up to leave.
After a long time, Shao Qing said: “For those who want to leave, I can give them some crystal nucleus. It’s not much, but at least it will ensure that there is no worry about eating and drinking for half a month.”
Still no one left.
“Since you aren’t leaving or talking, then I assume you guys have chosen to be sold.” Shao Qing was actually disappointed. The islanders were indeed too servile and would rather go with the waves than fight.
After she finished speaking, she took these people and allowed Itoji Muzi to lead the way to the slave house.
The slave house was actually a general term. That is, the combined name for the slave management office and the slave exchange. The slave exchange was right in front of the slave management office. After passing through a small market, then can one reach the slave management office.
Shao Qing once again had her horizons widened. Even parents would bring their children to sell. The children, there were some who were older teenagers and younger ones that were only four or five years old. She really did not know how they could do this.
“Do people actually buy these young children?” Shao Qing asked as she pointed to a four-five-year-old boy. Itoji Muzi hadn’t didn’t have the chance to answer before the young boy who had the most injuries said softly: “Yes. They buy slaves, not necessarily for use. Some may also be used for eating.”
The youngster’s eyes were sad. He lowered his head. He no longer looked around, then said: “Some of the superhumans are cannibals. They especially like eating small children, since their meat is fresh and tender. I heard that there is a very important Da Ren in the base, who especially liked eating children, that is, the children cannot be more than six years old. Then they would steam it to eat. It is said that this way, not only would the meat be tender, but it will bring out the fragrance and taste of the wine.”
Shao Qing’s footsteps stopped, she couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted. She felt that she had underestimated the islanders. The previous incidents she saw couldn’t even compare to this.
Doing this kind of thing. Where was their conscience? Even dogs won’t eat that.
This place really challenged her patience. She felt that she might erupt at any moment and ruin this place.
The infuriated Shao Qing didn’t notice at all that the young man was secretly looking at her the entire time.
Feeling disgusted, Shao Qing couldn’t help but speed up. She didn’t want to look at either side at all. She was afraid that she couldn’t hold back and would slap the parents who sold their own children and also slap the ones buying too.
Are these people all beasts? It was their own child, a piece of flesh that came from themselves. At the age of four or five, were they willing to sell them off to be eaten by others?
How can they bear doing that?
Shao Qing had to endure her anger all the way until she arrived at the door of the slave management office. She was afraid that her tone would be too indignant and she would fight with the management group, so she let Itoji Muzi negotiate with the other party.
Of course, she also listened in. When she listened, Shao Qing discovered that the slaves were really cheap. The price of selling them was not even the cost of a bag of rice.
Ones with outstanding appearances may be a little more expensive, while the ones with appearances that were slightly worse would be the price of two vegetables.
Life was really too cheap.
When the slaves walked in one by one, the teenager who had spoken suddenly knelt down and hugged Shao Qing’s legs: “Master, please keep me. I will serve master well. I will do anything master says … ”
“Get up.” Shao Qing originally wanted to kick him. But taking a look and seeing that the teenager was originally the one that was most injured with his sickly appearance, she realized if she actually extended her leg out she’ll probably directly kick him to death.
The young man held on to her for his life. He seemed to be betting that Shao Qing would not kick him away. Shao Qing looked around, everyone around was watching them. This wasn’t good, so she expressionlessly dragged the pendant attached to her legs and left.
After leaving, she found a quiet place before she tore the teenager off and tossed him aside: “What do you want?”
“I just want to stay with the master, I don’t want to be sold…” The tears in his eyes looked very pitiful: “If I meet a host with a bad temper, with my current body, I am afraid that I won’t stand the beating.”
Shao Qing sneered: “Then you are not afraid of me ”
“Master is a good person, I can see it.” The teenager approached cautiously and carefully, then he surrendered at Shao Qing’s feet: “I am very good, very obedient. If master wants me to do anything, just ask me. Please just let me stay with you.”
Yan Qiyue kicked him away with a sneer and hugged Shao Qing: “Go away.”
The teenager was jealous and quickly said: “I won’t overstep my boundaries. Master, please just give me a place to stay … … ”
Shao Qing thought about it, she was about to leave here. Keeping the teenager for a few days was no big deal so she said: “Forget it, I’ll treat it as hiring a part-time worker. ”
So when they came, they were five and returned with six.
The young man’s name was called Shiramizu Mochizuki. Generally speaking, he was quite interesting. After being taken back, he was tactful and did all the cleaning in the yard and housework.
There was no intention to get close to Shao Qing or the like. Of course, Yan Qiyue was also tightly monitoring.
His injuries were not light and Shao Qing didn’t want him to die like that, so she threw some medicine to Itoji Muzi. This way when she was free, she would apply some medicine to Shiramizu Mochizuki.
Thus, the relationship between the two of them started to get better. Itoji Muzi treated Shiramizu Mochizuki like a younger brother.
When Shao Qing got the pass, she was ready to leave. The reason why she didn’t leave immediately in the past two days was because the medicine that Er Dai usually took was out. Yan Qiyue had to make some, so they stayed for two more days.
In the past two days, she would go out every day and find a group of people to beat. So when she came back, she felt a lot better.
After all, the atmosphere was too depressing. Seeing so many things that would make one angry, if she didn’t vent, it would be bad for one’s health. Especially if accumulated for too long.
It can be regarded as the usage for these trash.
When she left, many people were cheering in the background. This calamity was finally gone. God knows that at this time, there are less than two thirds of the usual people in the square. While the remaining one third, when they saw Shao Qing coming, would run away directly. They would not even care about their slaves that were mortgaged.
Shao Qing walked out of the city gate and took her group to find directions to Mt. Fuji.
After walking for a few minutes, she turned back helplessly and looked at Shiramizu Mochizuki behind her: “I have told you that the house I rented has a one-month period. You can live there, I will leave it for you. I also left food for you, so why are you following me now?”
Shiramizu Mochizuki didn’t speak. He looked at her with a pair of big watery eyes.
Shao Qing said coldly: “If you want to follow, then follow. If there is any danger, I will not save you.”
Shiramizu Mochizuki still did not speak, but was very determined.
Then he really followed the whole day!
When the camp was settled for the afternoon, Shiramizu Mochizuki was not too far away. He was holding his knees in a pitiful manner, sitting in the grass. He took a hard cake out of his little cloth bag and nibbled at it.
At night, he slept in the grass. Shao Qing turned over and over at night. While she was angry at Shiramizu Mochizuki’s stubbornness, she was also angry at how soft she was. She clenched her teeth and decided to leave him alone.
As a result, when he woke up the next morning, Shiramizu Mochizuki’s body was covered with dew and he expectedly got ill.
His face was flushed and he had a fever. His vision was a little blurred. He followed Shao Qing paranoidly. Not to mention Itoji Muzi, even Feng Lan felt a little unbearable.
When Shiramizu Mochizuki couldn’t hold it, falling down and trying to get back up several times, Shao Qing sighed and said to Itoji Muzi: “Go carry him.”
He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. To Shao Qing, he was still a child. She really couldn’t bear watching him get exhausted until he became sick.
When Itoji Muzi carried Shiramizu Mochizuki, his mouth hooked upwards without Shao Qing catching it. From the very beginning, Shiramizu Mochizuki knew that the ending would be like this. This was because he saw clearly that Shao Qing was actually amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
She looked cold, but her heart was terribly soft.
Therefore, she would definitely keep him.
On one side, Yan Qiyue’s eyes were dark. He saw clearly that Shiramizu Mochizuki was similar to him in many ways. There could not be two tigers in one mountain, let alone this one.
But Yan Qiyue did not oppose anything because he would never oppose the decision made by Shao Qing, but he was already secretly vigilant.
