"Let's go, stop thinking about it. Master, I can't bear to give you away!" Seeing Yue Chan's pale face, Li Xiu stepped forward and patted her little head and smiled. Apart from Qi Niang, Yue Chan and Liu'er were the closest people he was, and he never had the habit of giving people around him to others as gifts.

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Yuechan turned her worries into joy. She had developed great trust in Li Xiu, so as long as Li Xiu said she would not give her away, she would not have to worry about this anymore. Speaking of which, since she fell into the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiu has become the person she can rely on the most.

The West City is very lively. Persians, Western Regions, Indians, etc. can be seen everywhere. Goods from all over the world are gathered here. The wide streets are also filled with various stalls. There are all kinds of goods on the stalls, only you can't imagine, and nothing can be found here. Of course, this does not include Li Xiu. There is nothing he wants here, such as computers, TVs, mobile phones, etc. Sometimes he really misses the Taobao in later generations. That is the real convenience. As long as you have money in your card, there is almost nothing you can't buy.

In contrast, Yuechan seemed much less promising, and was shocked when she saw something. There was no such lively place in her hometown. After coming to Chang'an, she was sent to the Yeting Palace and had no chance to go out. It was the first time she had seen the prosperity of Chang'an, so she naturally felt dazzled.

"Look, Master, is that Hu Man holding a camel?" Yue Chan excitedly pulled Li Xiu's arm and pointed at the distance and shouted. The poor baby has never seen a camel before. She can only barely confirm it from the twin peaks on the camel's back, but she dare not confirm it.

"Yes, this is a bimodal camel. It is said that there is also a kind of unimodal camel. Moreover, the reason why camels can keep moving forward without eating or drinking in the desert is mainly because the mountain on their backs stores a lot of nutrients and water." Li Xiu explained with a smile.

These were learned from zoos later generations, but Chang'an's urban management is not right. It is too unfair to call Wuhou. Not only can there be various street stalls everywhere on the streets, but no one can take care of all kinds of large animals on the streets. The camels in front of me are not counted, and there are even leopards squatting behind the horses of the nobles, making them look like a Middle Eastern tyrant in later generations, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were nouveau riche.

After passing through the crowded crowd, I finally arrived at the Mule and Horse Market in Xishi. The outermost layer here is a place to sell various animals. In addition to common animals such as horses, oxen, donkeys, etc., there are also relatively rare animals such as camels and leopards. It is worth mentioning here that Chang'an nobles like to bring leopards instead of hunting dogs when hunting, so Li Xiu just saw some nobles with a leopard lying on their horses.

After passing through the periphery of Mule and Horse Market, Li Xiu and the others finally came to the real people market. The layout here is almost no different from the Mule and Horse Market outside. There are fences on both sides of the street, but the fences are no longer surrounded by various animals, but living people. These are all people waiting for sale. According to race, age, gender, etc., these people who are sold are divided into each fence. The prices of people in the same fence are the same.

As soon as he arrived here, Yuechan hugged Li Xiu's arm tightly, and her little face was a little nervous. This was not a fault for being timid. In fact, Li Xiu felt uncomfortable after coming here, because the people waiting for the sale in the fence looked numb and looked at the guests coming and going with empty eyes. Even when the traffickers were pulled out to explain his characteristics in public, these people did not react at all, and looked like living dead people.

"Master, we... do we really want to buy these people back?" Yue Chan said with a nervous expression and hugged Li Xiu's arm. She didn't care at all that her sized breasts pressed against Li Xiu's arm, which made people feel itchy.

"I don't want to buy these people, but I can't find any servants in other places except here!" Li Xiu said helplessly. He thought he was a person with a conscience, but the human market had destroyed all conscience. Seeing that his kind were sold as goods, this had broken the bottom line of conscience.

After all, Li Xiu's psychological tolerance was much stronger. At that moment, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and looked at the people waiting for the sale on both sides of the street. He saw a wooden sign hanging on each fence gate, which was an introduction to the people who were being sold inside: Goguryeo, Silla, Turkic, etc., and even Li Xiu saw that several fences were all black people with Kunlun slaves written on it. However, most of these traffickers selling Kunlun slaves were Persians with high noses and deep noses, and only they could transport Kunlun slaves to the Tang Dynasty from overseas.

The places where you see are all foreign races, but Han people are very rare. However, it is not surprising that after the war in the Tang Dynasty, the population in China dropped drastically, and all prefectures lacked people. The number of people under the rule was still one of the assessment items for officials at all levels, so the population under the rule was very strict. Unless a particularly severe famine was encountered, many people had to sell their children and daughters. At that time, even the government could not control the loss of the population.

Li Xiu was not able to see Han people in the market, and he was both happy and worried. He didn't want to buy a few foreigners to go home. After all, he was not a member of my race, and no one knew what they were thinking. Moreover, it was a big problem in language. If you couldn't communicate with me after buying it, it would be better not to buy it.

However, just when Li Xiu was worried, a young servant suddenly ran to him enthusiastically and bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master, what kind of slave do you want to buy? Whether it is the Silla maid or the Kunlun slave, the younger one can help you find the best one!"

When Li Xiu heard the servant's words, he understood that the other party was a casual man in the city, that is, the earliest intermediary. These people were all people who had been hang out in the city all year round. They usually helped the guests find the slaves they needed by their familiarity with the city, and charged a little benefit fee from it. Sometimes they didn't even have to pay money. They just needed to take care of their meal, and they would work very hard to introduce you.

"My master doesn't buy slaves, he just wants to buy a few servants. He wants servants who can work. Don't use those who are not good at using them to make use of me, otherwise you won't have the best fruit of yours!" Before Li Xiu could speak, Yuechan next to him said first, and the threat that was later was only appropriate.

"Master, don't worry, the young Pan Ren is also the number one figure in this city. He will definitely not use the useless person to make excuses you. However, if you want to buy a servant who works, you have come to the wrong place. If you believe in a villain, then take a few more steps with me and you will soon find the person you need!" Pan Ren immediately patted his chest and assured.

"Okay, lead the way!" Li Xiu was also a talented person in the business world in his previous life. He saw that Pan Ren didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and agreed. At that moment, Pan Ren was walking in front, Li Xiu and Yuechan followed behind, but he walked out for hundreds of meters. Suddenly, a small square open space suddenly appeared in front. There were not many fences like before, but a bunch of people gathered in groups of three or five, among which some had grass marks on their heads, which seemed very strange.

"Master, look, the grass labels are all sold by themselves, and they are usually followed by their families. These people usually cannot survive when they encounter difficulties at home, so they have to sell themselves. When you sell, you can ask about the other party's household registration so that they can ensure that the other party will not run away in the future. As for those foreigners before, they are all things that are not good-looking, and only some great nobles will buy some young women to go back to relieve their boredom. They also have to look at the people who sell themselves in their work." Pan Ren said at this time.

"It's reasonable. My family needs four to six maids. Please help us pick it. If my master is satisfied, it will be your benefit!" Yuechan said again at this time. Although she was very nervous in this environment, with Li Xiu here, she also felt that she had a backbone in her heart, so she was much more courageous and could already assume the responsibility of a housekeeper.

"With me Pan Ren here, please see!" Pan Ren heard Yue Chan's promise and immediately patted his chest again and promised. Then he took Li Xiu and the others to turn around the crowd. He soon saw a suitable girl, followed by a middle-aged man who looked honest, probably the girl's father.

"Is this your daughter?" Pan Ren walked up to the other side with great confidence and asked with great confidence.

"Well, it's my daughter. The young man at home is seriously ill. He can only sell her to change the medicine money. Please be pitiful!" The middle-aged man looked at him when he heard Pan Ren's words, and then immediately begged Li Xiu behind him. Tears and snot all flowed out, looking very pitiful.

"Don't rush to cry, let me ask you, where is your home?" Pan Ren said unmoved at all.

"Little man...Little man is from Donghuangzhuang, the western suburbs!" The middle-aged man stood up and wiped his tears and replied.

"Donghuangzhuang? I know this village. Is there a pig-killing old seventh person in your village who often drinks like a mud?" Pan Ren asked again.

"Yes~ Yes! There is a pig slayer named Lao Qi who drank drunk the day before yesterday and fell asleep on the street!" The middle-aged man selling his daughter nodded immediately and replied, with an extremely certain look on his face.

Hearing this, Pan Ren immediately snorted coldly and turned around and left. As a result, the middle-aged man behind him had not yet figured out the situation, so he hurriedly called twice. Unfortunately, Pan Ren ignored him, which made Yue Chan ask Li Xiu very strangely: "Master, what's the matter with this Pan Ren? Why did he suddenly change his face and leave?"

"Haha, this Pan Ren is a little interesting. He should help us find the right person!" Li Xiu said with a smile. He had already understood Pan Ren's intention, but he didn't expect that there were also scammers in the city, and his acting skills were so clever. Generally, people who don't understand the inside story would be really fooled.

At that moment, Li Xiu pulled Yue Chan and continued to follow Pan Ren, but he did not notice. Just as they had just walked out a few steps, Yue Chan accidentally swept over the crowd, and suddenly her face changed drastically. Then she immediately buried her face behind Li Xiu like a little quail, with an anxious look in her expression. (To be continued.)
