Going to the market
Zhao Lie smiled, "Why are you unhappy that I took away your opportunity to show your face in front of Miss Lu?"
Chao Chao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just continued to be on guard to avoid being attacked by Doudou again.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Lie smiled even more happily, "You have to endure it even if you don't like it. Who said you can't beat that thing, kangaroo?"
Wang Chao's face darkened, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"Hey, I'd love to!"
"Sister Doudou, I heard from my sixth cousin that we are going to the market, right?" Lu Xiaolin from the second room ran over to the carriage and asked excitedly.
Lu Anran smiled and nodded: "That's right."
"Then, can I go?"
"why not?"
"Really?" Lu Xiaolin's eyes were bright. After seeing her nod, he immediately ran to the carriage behind him happily: "Mother, mother, Sister Doudou said I can go to the market."
"Yes, yes, come back quickly and eat the steamed buns."
Seeing her youngest son rushing back, Mrs. Yao smiled. Although they were in exile now, their life was actually better than in the village. They had no shortage of money, food, clothing, and food, and their future life would not be bad.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lu Anran with a little more gratitude.
The little kids in other carriages heard Lu Xiaolin's cheers, climbed out of the carriage quickly, ran to Lu Anran's carriage, and chirped: "Sister Doudou, can I go?"
"Doudou, and me."
"Sister Doudou, I want to go too."
"And me and me."
Looking at the bunch of carrots in front of her, especially their shining eyes, Lu Anran felt warm in her heart. It was much better than what she saw at the beginning. At least, she saw the hope in their eyes.
"Okay, everyone goes."
"Yo ho!"
"Wow--"
"Oh, I can go, great!"
"There's me, I can go too, hahaha..."
After all, little brats still like to have fun everywhere and can't stay in one place.
Lu Anran withdrew her gaze and turned to look at cheap dad Lu Wenyi. Seeing his silly smile, she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Dad, don't laugh, let's put it all together, what should I buy? Hoes, farm tools,
Food and all that.”
"Oh, yes, yes, look at dad, he is just enjoying himself." Lu Wenyi smiled and patted his head, then took out a strip of cloth and burned twigs and wrote on it.
Seeing this, Lu Anran smiled: "Dad, don't forget the wine that grandpa likes to drink, as well as the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and forehead wiping."
"Okay, dad knows."
Lu Wenyi smiled and agreed. Anyway, he would take the two elders there later. They could buy whatever they wanted. They didn’t have money before, so they could only think about it. It’s different now. Their family has money!
The clatter of horseshoes made the children run happily. As time passed, they arrived in Xuancheng in half an hour.
Xuancheng is the last city within the Lingnan border fortress and the only city within hundreds of miles nearby. People from both inside and outside the pass trade here, so the number of people is extremely large.
It was exactly ten o'clock in the morning when the team arrived, neither early nor late, and the market ended at two o'clock in the afternoon.
After changing their clothes, everyone in the Lu family was ready to set off, as were the other families one by one.
Before leaving, Zhao Lie cracked his whip as usual and said loudly: "Go to the market now and buy whatever you want. Meet at the city gate in an hour and a half."
"knew!"
The answers were loud. Zhao Lie nodded, said a few words to the dynasty, and then led the people into the city.
This time, the dynasty guarded the remaining prisoners.
"Candied haws on a stick, delicious candied haws on a stick."
"This water woaf is so good, how can you not sell it for just a few copper coins?"
"Homemade rouge, come on, girl."
"Oh, sir, are you staying in a hotel or working in a hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel and give me two rooms."
"Meat buns, delicious meat buns."
"This is the last crop of soybean sprouts. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
Entering the market in Xuancheng, a lively atmosphere immediately hit your face, which dissipated a lot of the chill in the past few days.
The vendors on both sides kept shouting, and in order to attract more customers, one person shouted like three people.
Lu Anran had no intention of wandering around, so he said to Lu Wenyi: "Dad, you and your uncle will buy the necessary things first, and the child will follow the grandparents and aunt.
The second cousin and third cousin's martial arts are already very good, protecting them is enough, I'm going to see other things."
Lu Wenyi nodded, "Okay, you go. Be careful."
"Yes." Lu Anran agreed, asked Zhao Lie about the slave market, and then strode forward.
The slave market in Xuancheng must first pass through the area where wild animals are sold, which is at the end of the market.
Why are they at the bottom? Because their value is lower than those of those animals.
When Lu Anran walked here, he smelled a strange smell unique to animals.
I frowned, but I didn't feel any discomfort.
What surprised her was that, in addition to cats and dogs, the animals sold here were mostly wild animals that are very rare in modern times, or the objects on them, such as ivory!
Lu Anran shook his head slightly and did not blame the Virgin Mary. After all, in this era, everything was legal.
"Zhizhi——"
Suddenly, a faint cry attracted her.
When I escaped from the sound, I saw that it was a golden monkey. It was locked in a bamboo cage and its body was covered in blood. It seemed that it was injured while escaping.
In the cage next to the golden monkey, there is a golden python that is as energetic as a gossamer. Both of them are very thin, only skin and bones are left.
Lu Anran knelt down in front of them and looked carefully, probably because they were frightened by her. They were so frightened that their pupils kept trembling, but they were unable to escape and just lay there shivering.
"Little girl, look at what you want and play while you're at it."
The seller was a man with a scar on his face, and he was very impatient when she was looking at him.
But this is normal. Not to mention him, the same thing happened to me before the end of the world.
"How much do these two cost?"
"You can afford it," Scarface suddenly smiled and stretched out his five fingers: "Fifty taels."
Lu Anran's face darkened, "Third Liang, they are almost dead. I bought it sincerely, but since you are not sincere, forget it." After that, he stood up and left.
"Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait," Scarface waved to her hurriedly: "Come back, fifteen taels."
"Twelve!"
"...Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you."
Although Scarface was impatient, after paying the money, he happily gave her the monkey and the golden boa.
Lu Anran mentioned the two and walked in the direction they came from.
She originally planned to go see what the slave market was like, but now it was inconvenient to bring these two things with her, so she decided to go back first. She would have plenty of time in the future, but it was a bit laborious to travel.
At this moment, Lu Wenyi and others are still buying farm tools. As soon as they arrive in Lingnan, they will plant the land immediately. They can't do it without farm tools.
"Third brother, what is that that your family is carrying?" The sharp-eyed Lu Xueqing couldn't help but be startled when he saw Lu Anran coming back with a cage.
