Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 212 Buying Slaves

"We have excellent, strong slaves here. They are all as obedient as dogs and as strong as oxen. They are all good workers and are also the best choice for guarding the house. Everyone, come and take a look. The price is fair."

Amidst the loud shouting, many people looked towards the group of slaves behind them.

At the front were two prison vans transporting female slaves. Many of them were imprisoned inside. They were all curled up with terrified expressions and ragged clothes. Most of them were young girls, and some of them looked quite good.

Behind the prison cart was a group of strong slaves with their hands tied and ankles locked. These slaves were not treated as well as the female slaves and could only walk. There were attendants around them holding whips, urging them on and guarding them.

Among the crowd of onlookers, some were whispering, some looked reluctant, some had fiery eyes, but most were watching indifferently, after all, this kind of transaction was very common.

Si He had seen many slave caravans since she came to Beisha Kingdom, and she was used to it. Like many people, she was indifferent to it.

This is how the world works. Where there is demand, there is trade.

It was not necessarily a bad thing for the people who were sold, because many of the slaves who were sold came from poor families and could not get enough food. If they followed a good master, they might be able to live a better life.

Si He took a quick glance and was about to look away, but suddenly her eyes fixed on a female slave in the prison car.

The slave girl also saw her and started shouting at her, "Si He, save me! Si He, save me..."

As she shouted, she reached out and slapped the prison van. She was so excited that she attracted all the followers around her. But her voice was hoarse and others could not hear clearly what she said.

"What are you doing?! What are you making such a fuss about? If you keep making such a fuss, I'll spank you!"

An attendant holding a whip whipped the prison van, but missed anyone and only hit the wooden railing. However, the whip was so strong that everyone in the van shrank to the side in fear.

The slave girl was also frightened, but she still opened her mouth to beg for help, "Si He, save me!"

This time, the attendant beside the prison van heard her shouting clearly, and followed her gaze to look at a man and woman not far away on the street. Did they know each other?

At this time, the leader of the caravan stopped his horse and turned around. As soon as he stopped, the entire caravan also stopped.

As the people in the prison car kept shouting, they soon understood what was going on. They had encountered such things before. If the slave girl met someone she knew, she might be able to be bought at a high price.

At this time, Si He's expression was complicated. She didn't expect to meet this person again in this remote place of Beisha Kingdom.

This female slave was Si Rong.

I didn’t expect that this guy actually came to Beisha Country and was sold by someone!

To be honest, Si He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but at this moment, everyone around was looking at her, even the leader of the caravan came over.

"Excuse me, do you two need to buy a female slave? The price is negotiable."

As soon as the leader of the caravan finished speaking, Si Rong in the prison car became even more excited and desperately asked Si He for help.

"Si He, please, save me."

Si He really didn't have a good impression of her, but at this moment Si Rong looked quite miserable, with the word "slave" carved on her face, and she looked pale and thin. If Si He hadn't had a deep impression of her, she would have almost not recognized her.

Si He sighed inwardly and thought, forget it, just be a good person again.

"How to sell it?"

Hearing her question, the caravan leader's eyes lit up, but he still asked: "Madam, do you want to buy this slave girl?"

He pointed at Si Rong in the prison car.

"Yeah." Si He responded. Isn't this obvious?

He grinned and said, "We spent quite a bit of money to buy this slave girl, but since we haven't opened the shop yet, I'll sell it to you at a lower price of fifty taels of silver."

Hearing the offer, Si He raised a sneer on her lips. Was he treating her like a fat sheep to be slaughtered, or was he so sure that she would buy it that he asked for such a high price?

She probably knew something about the market price of female slaves. Those with good looks were only sold for thirty taels, while Si Rong, whose face was disfigured and pale and thin, was lucky to be sold for twenty taels. How could this person dare to sell her for fifty taels?

When the people around heard the price, they all whispered that the merchant was cruel. How dare he sell such an ugly slave girl at such a high price?!

I'm sure the other person is someone I know, and might be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. I've seen this kind of thing before.

"Twenty taels at most, if you don't want to sell it, forget it."

Si He quoted a price. Although she was rich, she didn't want to be ripped off, and buying it might not be good for Si Rong.

If she could be bought, Si He would not let Si Rong follow her, nor would he settle her down. Buying her and giving her freedom was already the most benevolent thing to do, after all, they were once enemies.

But given Si Rong's current situation, wandering alone is not necessarily better than being a slave. She might fall into the hands of human traffickers again.

The leader of the caravan looked embarrassed. "I'm afraid we can't sell this. We..."

Before he finished speaking, Si He said to Ning Ji, "Husband, let's go."

"Okay." Ning Ji also had an indifferent attitude towards this. She was just an unrelated female slave. She could buy her if she wanted to, and it didn't matter if she didn't want to buy her.

The two men turned and left without hesitation, which surprised the caravan leader. Didn't they know each other? Why did they just leave like that? Didn't they care about the other person's life or death?

"Hey~ Wait, don't go, the price is negotiable."

"Thirty taels! That's a really fair price! You two know each other after all, it's not good to just stand by and watch, right?!"

"Si He, help!"

No matter how they shouted, Si He did not look back. However, due to the crowded crowd, the two of them could not walk fast and did not go far.

Seeing that the two men really didn't want to leave, the leader of the caravan had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout: "Twenty taels is twenty taels! Just consider it as making friends!"

When Si He heard the offer, she finally stopped. To be honest, she really regretted making the offer. She hoped that the merchant would not sell it to her, because buying Si Rong would be a trouble.

Forget it, just buy it.

Ning Ji also stopped with her, turned around, took out twenty taels of silver and threw it to the leader.

The leader took the silver swiftly, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he ordered his men to bring out the female slave and give a contract of sale to Ning Ji.

The transaction was completed, and the caravan set off again, continuing to shout, and the crowd around them gradually dispersed.

Si Rong walked towards Si Rong in embarrassment, with a complicated expression. She had not expected to meet Si He in the Beisha Kingdom.

However, before she could say anything, Si He took the indenture from Ning Ji and handed it to her, "You can go now."

Si Rong's eyes widened. "Where are we going? Don't you care about me?"

Si He also opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise: "I still need to care about you?"
