Chapter 172 I don't care about the disability of adults
Xu Xiuyi couldn't help shouting: "Ah!"
Jing He and Lao Zhong drew their weapons and stood in front of Xu Xiuyi and Chunming.
Ming Lanruo's face was slightly cold. The girl's body was half-clothed and she had obviously been violated, but her face looked like that of a Central Plains person.
The corpse remained open-eyed, but was wearing a target-like vest on its back and chest, with long sharp arrows stuck in its chest and back.
"What are you doing!" Minglan Ruoleng said.
Kill someone in the street and no one cares about it!
When the buffoon steward saw this, he quickly came up to apologize and said, "I'm so sorry that these animals disturbed our distinguished guests!"
As he spoke, he looked at the two masked guards carrying knives who came from the hunting ground, and cursed angrily: "What do you think of people? Let that filthy female animal come out and scare the distinguished guests. You don't want your monthly money anymore?"
!”
The two masked guards quickly dragged the girl's body back.
Another person said flatteringly: "Master housekeeper, the guest inside wanted to use the female animal to test the accuracy of the arrow first. Who knew she came here, and the fence was a bit old, so it was damaged by the female animal!
You guys must reinforce it quickly!"
Ming Lanruo immediately looked into the fence and saw that there were many people in the fence who were dressed like the girl's body and were chained not far away. Their mouths were tied with cloth strips, and they were kneeling and shivering.
She asked expressionlessly: "What are those inside?"
"This is your first time here. This is our black market's first hunting event this year. Those in it are all carefully selected 'prey'."
The clown butler thought the business was coming, and immediately introduced it with a smile: "You only need to pay ten gold to go in and place bets. If you want to be a hunter, you have to pay one thousand gold!"
The fence surrounds a hunting ground, but the prey inside is not animals, but living people.
But these people are called "cattle"; there are a total of twenty people at a time, divided into two teams of blue and red, with ten people in each team, and they are all covered with blue and red arrow targets as the "prey" to be hunted.
Run and dodge.
The guests who paid one thousand gold were drawn by lot to become the hunters of the red and blue teams. Two people from each team were sent out at a time, and four people held their bows and shot the humanoid "prey" in the stands.
Whichever team of hunters kills the opponent's prey first will win. Others who don't have that much money can place bets in each game on which team of hunters kills all the humanoid "prey" they deal with first.
To put it bluntly, it's killing people for fun.
When the butler was introducing the prey, another "prey" was released in the distance, and was driven by guards with spears to run in panic.
Some people laughed excitedly in the stands, and after the sound of the bowstring, the galloping black-feathered arrows killed or wounded several "prey" running around.
"No...help!"
"Please, sir...don't kill me!"
Those shrill screams and cries made people tremble all over.
But all they got was laughter and annoyance from the spectators who were placing bets on the stage——
"Don't shoot her breasts... shoot her legs, take your time, kill them all at once, what are you doing!"
"Hey, if you kill too slowly, your opponent will kill all your prey, and all our money will be lost. Shoot him in the chest!"
One of the middle-aged women was holding a child, unable to run, and staggered to the ground. She was almost hit by an arrow in the chest, but was grabbed by a tall male slave and barely escaped.
The male slave was shot through the shoulder by an arrow, causing him to howl like a beast in pain.
Xu Xiuyi's face turned pale when she saw it, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Isn't it interesting to use people as prey? This kind of behavior is worse than an animal!"
The clown butler was not angry at all, and said leisurely: "Buddha also said that all things are spiritual. You usually hunt animals and you don't feel bad about them, right?"
"What's wrong with people being prey? Animals will just run around when being hunted. Nothing compared to people who will find ways to dodge and cooperate when being hunted. Of course, hunting people brings excitement and fun!"
As he spoke, he chuckled: "What's more, most of these people voluntarily sold themselves as 'prey' or were sold by their families. A group of refugees from Northeast Xinjiang. If they didn't rely on us to survive, they would have died long ago. We are doing business to make money.
Not shabby!”
Xu Xiuyi wanted to say something else, but Ming Lanruo held her wrist down.
She winked at Xu Xiuyi, and then asked Youyou: "It costs one thousand gold to become a hunter. Two thousand gold for the two of us, right?"
The clown butler was startled: "But the game has already begun. If you two want to be hunters, you have to wait for the next round."
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "Six thousand gold!"
Then the clown butler stayed for three times the price?!
He immediately changed his face and smiled happily: "Please come quickly, distinguished guest!!"
Ming Lanruo glanced at Jing He, who expressionlessly took out the banknotes from his sleeve, counted six and handed them to the buffoon butler.
Ming Lanruo and Xu Xiuyi were escorted to the front of the hunting ground by the housekeeper, and were respectfully welcomed into the hunting ground.
Xu Xiuyi's eyes were red and she couldn't help but pull Ming Lanruo's sleeve: "Sister... do you want to save the people inside, but you can't save all those people."
Although it was her second time to come to the black market, the first time she came, she did not see such a bloody and cruel "deal" at all.
But while she was angry and sad, she also vaguely understood that it was useless to try to save those people with such passion and courage.
With the existence of the black market and the existence of refugees, such things cannot be avoided. Many of them are betrayed by their families or even sell themselves as "animals"!
"I have my own reasons. I remember you said that your bow and arrow are very accurate." Ming Lanruo patted the back of her hand and looked at the people running and screaming inside, her eyes becoming colder.
Human life is worth less than that of animals... Is the situation in Northeast Xinjiang already so tragic?
Xu Xiuyi nodded. She was in confusion. She didn't know what Minglan wanted to do, but she was willing to follow Minglanruo in!
Ming Lanruo and his party of four entered the hunting ground. Not far away, a tall figure wearing a black blood-moon cloak embroidered with scarlet and half a Shura fang mask suddenly stopped and directed his sharp, cold gaze at them.
"What's the matter, sir?" The people surrounding him also stopped.
Next to him, a Sudanese orchid with chestnut hair and blue eyes, wearing enchanting clothes, exposing her snow-white thighs, and covering her face with a bead curtain, asked sweetly while shaking her peacock fan.
She almost wanted to press her whole body into the man's chest, and her plump chest was ready to come out, but she didn't dare to really get close to his arms.
The man in the Shura mask had a cold and unpredictable aura. He turned a blind eye to the beauty in front of him. He only pursed his thin scarlet lips and said indifferently: "It's nothing. I probably saw the wrong person."
With that said, he walked straight towards the enclosed house in the distance, which was also the auction house.
Hu Ji looked at his back in despair and hummed: "My lord is always so indifferent."
"But don't you just like the indifference of that adult?" Another tall Sudanese man with curly hair and a mask smiled at her.
Hu Ji licked her plump red lips: "Your Excellency is charming everywhere, whether it's his temperament or his body."
"What a pity, he can't satisfy you. He lacks words, you know!" The curly-haired man smiled evilly and stretched out his arms to hug her slender waist.
Hu Ji pushed him away and snorted: "So what? I like his mutilated body too. I have the ability to make him feel comfortable. He just doesn't know my ability."
In the black market, no matter who you are, you are a customer, and there is only one person who can be called "sir" by the superiors.
"Tsk, don't make that adult angry. The one who served him last time had his hands and feet broken and was thrown out." The curly-haired man kindly reminded Hu Ji.
Hu Ji rolled her eyes: "I am the deputy general manager of the auction house, and I am different from those lowly things!"
After saying that, she twisted her plump body and swayed her body to chase the man wearing the Shura mask in front of her.
