Chapter 8 Long and Short Arms

In this world, selling yourself into slavery is completely different from selling yourself into a concubine. Selling yourself into slavery means just becoming a servant of a wealthy family and working for them. It is considered a long-term permanent worker with human rights and dignity.

Moreover, during this period, the master not only has to bear the food and lodging of the servant, but also pays wages. When the master-servant contract expires, the servant can regain his freedom, marry and have funerals.

Because of this, the price of being sold as a slave is much cheaper than that of being a concubine. Generally, it is about a few hundred yuan, but the price of being a concubine is at least several thousand yuan, because compared with being a slave, the nature of being a concubine is more serious.

Too many.

Once sold as a concubine, it is equivalent to becoming the private property of a wealthy family. Not only will the power of life and death be controlled at will, but also you will not be able to leave it for life.

Therefore, as long as there is a little room for maneuver, no woman will be willing to sell herself as a concubine.

Lu Yang glanced at the stall owner's daughter and saw that his daughter was gentle and lovely. Even though she was gray and gray, her natural beauty could not be concealed, and he immediately understood the reason.

But what made Lu Yang a little confused was that the woman was covered with a large and long linen cloth, covering her whole body, leaving only her head exposed.

Faced with the man's plea, the young man from the wealthy family did not give up. Instead, he snorted coldly, "Untouchable, it is your daughter's honor to be my concubine. How dare you refuse me?"

The young man looked like he was going to rob the girl by force, which frightened the middle-aged man so much that he repeatedly begged him.

The scene in front of them attracted the attention of other stall owners and newcomers passing by, but no one dared to say anything.

Lu Yang looked at this scene with a calm expression. In the world of "Flying Immortals", people have classes. The fate of the strong controlling the weak is an iron law. He can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Seeing that the old man still disagreed, the young man's face darkened, "At worst, I'll pay six taels of silver, you bitch, don't you know what's good and what's wrong!"

Increasing the price by one tael at a time is already a very heroic act, but the man loves his daughter very much. Even if the price doubles again, how can he possibly push his daughter into a pit of fire?

What's more, looking at this young man's behavior, if his daughter marries him as a concubine, she will never have a good life in the future.

The essence of selling oneself is actually a transaction. The buyer has to choose the seller, and the seller naturally has to choose the buyer.

It would be best if it could be sold to some kind-hearted rich people, but if it met some harsh, cruel and vicious rich people, few people would be willing to pay no matter how much money they paid.

Seeing that the young man was determined to embarrass himself, the middle-aged man no longer begged in a low voice, but became tough, "I thought about it, and I really couldn't bear to leave my daughter, so I suddenly decided not to let her sell herself. Young Master, you'd better please come back."

Bar."

"I've wasted so long here, and now you won't sell it if you don't want it?" The young man sneered, "Are you kidding me?"

Faced with the young man's questioning, the old man gritted his teeth and simply stopped defending, just bowed his head and remained silent.

In his opinion, as long as he firmly disagrees, the young man has no choice.

After all, no matter how wealthy a young man's family is, he would never dare to buy or sell by force in front of everyone. Otherwise, he would be challenging the laws of the Jiang Kingdom.

Sure enough, seeing how stubborn he was, the young man's face became even more gloomy, and then he laughed angrily, "Okay! Very good, I want to see how you can survive in Luoyan City if you don't sell your daughter!"

His family is considered a local snake in Luoyan City. As long as ordinary people offend him, they will be unable to move in Luoyan City.

He believes that as long as he uses some means, the desperate man will have no choice but to offer his daughter with both hands.

After saying the harsh words, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!" At this moment, the man's eldest daughter, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

The young man stopped for a moment and suddenly turned around, the anger on his face not dissipating yet.

"Xiaoying!" The man seemed to have guessed what his daughter wanted to do, and suddenly became anxious.

The woman glanced at her father with a reluctant expression, then turned to look at the young man and said seriously: "Sir, do you really want to marry me as your concubine?"

The young man's face turned from anger to joy, and he smiled, "Of course, you will not regret it if you follow me."

The woman sighed and nodded, "Okay, I can be my concubine."

The young man suddenly showed joy when he heard this, but the woman changed the subject again: "But before that, I have one more thing to say. If the young master still insists after I finish speaking, then I will follow what the young master said."

"What's the matter?" the young man asked subconsciously.

The next moment, the woman opened the linen cloth covering her body, revealing the scene inside.

She was still wearing coarse clothes underneath, and her thin figure was the same as that of most civilian women.

But when everyone's eyes fell on her hands, there was an uproar.

Lu Yang, who was already planning to leave, his pupils shrank suddenly after seeing this scene, "Long or short arms?"

The woman's hands are as thin as her body, but at the same time, they are also very strange, because her hands are obviously one long and one short.

Her right hand is very long, a bit longer than an ordinary person, but her left hand is a bit shorter than an ordinary person, which looks very weird.

When the young man saw this, his expression suddenly changed. The joy in his eyes disappeared, leaving only horror and disgust.

In this era, many people who are born with disabilities are often regarded as ominous omens or monsters, and are avoided by everyone. Even if they are not regarded as monsters, some discrimination and suppression are inevitable.

To ordinary people, a person with such weird hands is no different from a monster. No matter how beautiful he is, he has no interest in it.

If he dared to marry such a monster as a concubine, I'm afraid the elders in the family would never let him go.

"What bad luck, let's go!" He said these words coldly, and left with his guards without looking back.

After seeing this scene, other people who were watching the show also looked at the woman with fear and disgust in their eyes.

The woman seemed to have expected this. She sighed numbly, picked up the linen on the ground and put it on her body again.

However, at this moment, a young figure suddenly came to the stall and said, "I want to buy your daughter."

Astonishment appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He looked at the young and a little too young boy in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

It was hard for him to believe that after seeing his daughter's physical condition, anyone would be willing to buy her.

How did he know that the reason why the young man was willing to buy his daughter was precisely because he saw his daughter's unusual body structure.

This young man was none other than Lu Yang, who was watching the show.

Faced with his doubts, Lu Yang did not explain anything. He directly took out three taels of broken silver from his arms and said: "I will pay you three taels of silver to buy your daughter as a slave for twenty years. The wages during this period are not included.

how?"

After saying that, he looked at the woman with even a hint of fire in his eyes.

The woman looked at him curiously, somewhat confused about what he was thinking, and the middle-aged man was also shocked by his handwriting.

You know, the young man just now paid six taels of silver to buy his daughter as a concubine, but the man in front of him was actually willing to spend three taels to buy his daughter as a slave.

Many ordinary civilians only have a few taels of silver in their lifetime savings.
