Later, the conflict between the two sides became more and more acute, and then, their country was destroyed by the other side.
Almost all the remaining few Shangxiang people became slaves. As they lost their homes, their numbers began to decline sharply.
Because things are rare, they became more valuable in the market. As a result, even the tribesmen who hid would attract thieves as long as they developed a decent settlement.
After that, after about a few decades, they were completely exterminated. "
After listening, Liu Ji was a little stunned.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Just because of your appearance, you have to be excluded by other races?
Then because of your appearance, you have to be captured as slaves by other races?
Then, just because you want to protect your compatriots, the entire race was exterminated?
"The race that did this feels no different from a tyrant," Liu Ji rubbed his eyebrows.
"There are many people in this world who want to be tyrants, but they just don't have the ability," Ya Yin said, "As for the race that did this, it is actually the Demon Spirit Clan..."
"Ah? "Liu Ji was stunned, "This, I, uh..."
"No, you don't have to be so reserved, I don't like them anyway," Ya Yin shrugged, "Noble demons look down on mixed-blood demons the most. I don't even know who my parents are. The bitch demon who gave birth to me wanted me to die directly in the garbage dump full of dead fish in the fish farm. Fortunately, I was lucky. The nuns in the orphanage found me and let me survive."
Liu Ji didn't know what to say at all.
He had a good rebirth in his previous life, so that such things had only been seen in movies and novels for him. When he really met such a person in front of him, he didn't know what to say at all.
Ya Yin glanced at Liu Ji, smiled, and said, "Okay, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it. The soup is almost cooked, and we should eat."
"Ah, oh!" Liu Ji hurriedly agreed and shouted, "Yuan! It's time to eat! Clean up the table! ”
————
————
A little further away, in the gap of the void, an eye was peering in the dark.
His eyes swept back and forth among the potatoes and Yuan, his eyes were full of fanaticism and greed, like a pervert.
"The fifty-eighth feeding in two weeks, the appetite is still as amazing as ever..."
The mumbling voice echoed in the inner side of the void.
"Killed the robber, but did not choose to eat but buried, starting to establish a basic common sense model..."
The old hands were constantly rubbing.
"Haha, it's really interesting. I have never seen such an interesting creature in my life. I really want to do some experiments with them..."
At this point, his eyes turned to Liu Ji on the side.
Well .
No, arcane research should be conducted with caution. Now, he should observe these potatoes more and collect some data...
————
————
After eating and drinking, Liu Ji and others took the organized caravan and continued to move forward along the trade road.
According to the distance calculation, if it is fast, that night, if it is slow, they should be able to reach this village tomorrow.
Of course, during this period, Liu Ji's homework has been super doubled as usual.
But this time, at least they both tacitly did not stay up late, and when it was time to sleep, they would go to sleep.
It is hard to say whether there are accommodations for merchants at the destination this time. If they continue to work hard like last time, there will be no comfortable hotel for them to stay up late. They rested.
On the morning of the second day, everyone finally saw wisps of smoke from cooking not far away.
"We are finally almost there," Liu Ji put down the pen in his hand and stretched his body.
Probably because he thought that he should reach the destination today, Ya Yin assigned less homework than usual, and Liu Ji has finished it now.
"Get ready, let them all put on their hoods," Ya Yin said, got up and walked to the driving place, waved to Yuan, and motioned him to get back in the car.
Ya Yin is the only one here who can speak the common language. When they enter the village, Liu Ji and his seven potatoes will all become mute. In order not to arouse curiosity, they can only pretend to be servants.
"Even if I am like this, I don't look like a businessman. "The leader of the people," Yayin took out a mirror and looked at herself. After thinking for a while, she took out a white mask from the magic space and put it on her face.
Yayin looked in the mirror again and nodded.
At least this way she would look a little more imposing.
But on the other hand, the whole person became more suspicious...
But it's better than before. It's very tiring to be treated as a little girl when doing business.
As they got closer to the village, some reclaimed flat land began to appear on both sides of the road. Some crops were planted in them. The scale was unexpectedly large and the growth was good. Many people were busy in the fields.
"Hey, look at their eyes..." Liu Ji muttered, "It seems that they are not from that race?"
"No one said that this village is full of Shangxiang people," Yayin replied, "and these people look unusual..."
"Unusual?" Liu Ji was a little confused and looked at these busy farmers again.
Hmm...
Except that they are all a little strong, it seems that there is nothing special about them?
At the same time, these farmers also noticed the caravan of Liu Ji and others. Many people stood up and looked at them. Those who were close began to whisper to each other, but there was no sign of wanting to get closer.
"It doesn't look like they are in a hurry to buy anything," Liu Ji muttered.
"After all, a 'caravan' came here not long ago," Yayin replied.
"That's true," Liu Ji nodded, "Yeah...but it's true, there's not a single person with evil eyes."
"Maybe the number is relatively small, who knows, let's go to the city and have a look," Yayin said, waving the reins to make the earth dragon walk faster.
Following the dirt road, everyone came to a wooden fence.
Although the wall looks a bit shabby, with some "patches" piled crookedly underneath, it should still be enough to defend against attacks from ordinary wild beasts and weak monsters.
The gate in the middle of the wall is not closed, and there is no guard guarding it. After all, this kind of village is not a regular city. People who usually come in and out are their own people. It is estimated that the city gate will be open until night, and no one will be willing to pay. What kind of guard should I raise?
Shaking the business bell, Yayin rode the earth dragon into the village.
The size of this village is unexpectedly large. Although the houses are dilapidated, there is a straight main road leading directly to an open square in the center.
Of course, when it is called a square, the knight is just an open space with a stage. It is probably a place used for meetings in the village.
Of course, when the caravan comes, it should also be doing business there.
After all, it's a main road, and it's only big enough for one dragon and dragon car to pass.
You can't park in the middle of the road and block the road.
As Yayin kept shaking the business bell, more and more residents poked their heads out of the house.
There are men and women in the village, but contrary to the situation outside the wall, most of the people in the village are from the Shangxiang tribe with white pupils and black eye whites, and only some women are ordinary people with ordinary pupils.
"Hey... there are so many Shangxiang clans, no one goes out to farm?" Liu Ji was a little confused.
"Who knows, let's find out when we do business later," Yayin said, "Compared with this... I care more about these women of other races."
"Women of other races?" Liu Ji was a little confused and looked at both sides of the road.
A woman with ordinary eyes... Yes, there is one on the right, it doesn't seem like anything...
No……
Wait a minute……
"Hey, her right sleeve...has no right hand?" Liu Ji frowned.
"She's not the only one, take a closer look," Yayin reminded.
After Liu Ji heard this, he started looking for the next target.
I found another one, not far ahead. This one had both hands, but no calf on his right leg, so he could only walk with a cane.
Another one, this one seems to be blind in one eye and has a disabled arm.
Another one, inside the house, if you look closely through the window, you can see that she seems to have disabilities in both legs.
Another one, this one looks pretty healthy...
Oh no, there are no fingers on her left hand.
"What the hell, why are they all disabled?" Liu Ji frowned, "Were they abused by others here?"
"No, it's not like that. Everything you can see on the street is all old injuries, not a single one is new," Ayin shook her head.
"Then this is..." Liu Ji didn't understand at all.
"Well, there is an idea," Yayin said, "If a wife slave is disabled... it will be much cheaper.
But, if they bought all these women of other races, that would be a bit too much..."
135. Two-in-one As we all know, clapping your hands and stamping your feet during an argument can increase your momentum.
As expected, business was not good after Liu Ji and others set up their stall in the square in the center of the village.
There were quite a few locals who came to see the excitement, but most of them just took a look. After all, the previous caravan just left about two days ago. These villagers also bought what they should buy, and they probably didn't save any money or goods.
In this situation, if it was an ordinary caravan, it would probably have a headache.
Under normal circumstances, when traveling to such a small village, one has to check with the inn in advance to see if there are any caravans that have visited recently. If so, they will choose another route.
But unfortunately, the last time they came here was a group of merchant bandits, and obviously the inn had no information about them.
Fortunately, Liu Ji and Yayin didn't care. It would be better if they couldn't sell it, so they had more reasons to live here and fish.
"But, it's still a bit strange," Liu Ji muttered with a curse. "There are obviously so many people of other races outside the village, but the customers in the village are all people with white eyes."
"It's a bit strange," Yayin replied in a low voice, "If all the women inside are wife slaves, it wouldn't be inexplicable, but the people farming outside can't be all serfs, right?"
"This small village doesn't look like a farmer per capita... Could it be that there are serfs hired by a large farmer outside?" Liu Ji said.
"Then why don't you hire any locals and buy everything from other places?" Yayin shook her head, "Not to mention that this kind of deep mountains and old forests are not suitable for farming at all. Even if there are similar landlords, there must be land annexation. It is normal to take away people and land together. There is no reason to let go of the 'free' serfs and buy foreign serfs who may rebel and escape at any time. "
The two of them muttered incantations for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.
After all, this is a caravan on the surface, in broad daylight, so you have to look at the shop.
Even if you are curious about the local situation, you have to wait until night.
————

Outside the village.
A group of farmers gathered on the ridge of the field near the village gate, looking towards the village.
"It's strange, we shouldn't have made a mistake before, right?" One of the men muttered, "The caravan that left before should be a group of bandits? There is only one road, don't the two sides meet?
"Did they miss it during the rest time?" One of them said, "For example, when the bandits were already asleep at night, they took the opportunity to sneak over?"
"No, no, the two sides met," a man with one eye blind suddenly said, "You may not have noticed that when they came, several of the dragon cars were originally those of the bandits."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"This, they are in the same group with those bandits?" One of them was surprised,
"Well... it's not impossible, but," another person interrupted, "I can't think of a reason for them to return? Aren't merchant bandits all roaming around to commit crimes? Why do they keep tails outside? "
"Well, it can't be that the bandits sold a few cars to them, right?" said one person.
"Bandits don't make money in so many roundabout ways, I'm afraid they just robbed them directly," said one person.
"No, unless the bandits can't eat them," the one-eyed man continued, "or... in fact, they have already tried."
"You mean... they were killed?" One person seemed a little unbelievable, "But, just a few of them? Such a small caravan?"
"If it was a caravan, they would definitely not be killed, but..." the one-eyed man said in a deep voice, "What if it wasn't?"
When everyone heard this, their breathing was choked, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"What should we do?" One person asked, "Kill them directly?"
"We definitely can't do it directly, we don't know if we have been exposed," the one-eyed man shook his head, "If we suddenly jump out, wouldn't it be self-incrimination. "
