ld Niwan's hometown village be slaughtered overnight The people in Niwan's hometown were simple and kind. How could ghosts allow them to die so tragically"Her expression turned mournful, but quickly s..."No more, no more, I've had enough." As if to confirm her words, she let out an unladylike burp, then awkwardly stood up and left the teahouse.
Being so poor that she eats tea instead of rice, even the female lead in a transmigration novel is unique in this regard.
Qin Luoyan was down on her luck, forced to wander aimlessly through the night market. She couldn't afford an inn, and would be content with just finding a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The small town at night was bustling because of its world-famous night market.
Although she had already been in this world for three years, Qin Luoyan had never wandered through a night market at night. Seeing all sorts of goods displayed along the roadside, she couldn't help but be curious.
"If you pass by, don't miss out! The barbarian is handsome and strong as an ox. He's the only one like him in Nan Yue!"
Hundreds of people gathered in the open field in the distance. In the center of the crowd, a makeshift stage had been erected. On the stage, a young man in rough cloth waved his hands and shouted his wares.
"Barbarians!" Hearing the cry, passersby were overjoyed and all rushed in that direction.
Qin Luo'yan was puzzled but was pushed forward by the crowd surrounding her. She was confused and grabbed a woman beside her, asking, "What are Barbarians Do you know, elder sister"
That elder sister glared at her, "Even barbarians are known, is this your first time coming to the border"
"Coming here with my father and brothers to broaden our horizons, I've never heard of this before. Would you please enlighten me, elder sister" When one is out and about, no one would be foolish enough to say they are alone.
The road ahead was too congested, and the crowd moved forward very slowly. Seeing that she couldn't squeeze through for a while, the older woman chatted casually with Qin Luoyan.
“The Barbarians are a special race that live in the mysterious swamps between Nan Yue and Bei Ming. It is said that the Barbarians are born with superhuman strength, each one a natural warrior. However, because their numbers are extremely small, and they are unwilling to submit to either Nan Yue or Bei Ming, they have always lived independently in the swamps.”
The older sister's words finally pushed the two people down to the platform. In front of them, there was an iron cage holding a child about six or seven years old. The child’s whole body was black as ink, with muddy and messy hair, and his face was covered in unknown dirt. Only his clear eyes stared blankly at the people around him.
The child didn't cry or fuss, he just quietly hugged his knees and huddled in the corner. His eyes immediately caught Qin Luoyan's full attention; they were too calm and hopeless, something that shouldn't appear on a child's face.
A young man in rough cloth stood before the cage, a thorny whip in his hand. With a sudden flick of the wrist, he lashed out, the whip striking the iron bars with a resounding "crack".
“Look here everyone, this is the bastard son of a barbarian! Seven years ago, a band of barbarian raiders came to steal our village’s pigs, sheep, and cattle, and they also defiled the women in our village! Back then, all the young women in our village were violated by the barbarians. The barbarians are our village's greatest enemy!”
The rough-spun youth, holding a whip, spoke with righteous anger: "Barbarians are brutal and powerful. Many girls were ravaged to death. Those who survived couldn't accept reality, some died, others went mad! My own sister was also a victim. She spent six years in madness before recovering, only to jump into the river and commit suicide."
The rough-looking youth, his eyes blazing with hatred, spoke up. He raised his whip and lashed it down onto the cage once more. This time, however, as if seeking to vent his rage, he aimed his blow deliberately towards the child inside. Even though there was a cage between them, the child's arm instantly bore the brunt of the lash, flesh and skin flying apart.
The child seemed to have gotten used to such beatings, not even crying, just shrinking further into the corner.
"Now, my sister has passed away, leaving behind this savage spawn! Don't look at this little bastard, he's only six years old, but he's strong as an ox. All the heavy and dirty work in the house is given to him, and he endures it all. He's also tough, you can beat him up every day and he won't die. If any of you bosses buy him back, you can vent your frustrations on him, I guarantee he won't dare make a sound to displease you. If any boss is interested, come up and try him out now."
The rough-hewn youth's speech had infected many in the audience with his emotions. Looking at the child in the cage, they now wore a hint of disdain. In their eyes, that child was no longer a child, but rather the offspring left behind by the savagery of barbarian raiders.
Only Qin Luoyan's face gradually turned pale. As just a child, he had been despised and mistreated by his own family since birth. Even subjected to all kinds of abuse from them. His life began with hardship and tribulation.
But, how innocent he was!
He was the product of his mother being humiliated; his mother was pitied, and he, became everyone's hatred!
“I’ll give one hundred ounces! I want this bastard!” A middle-aged man, stout and with a face full of flesh, was the first to raise the price. He moved his wrists as he shouted, “Damn it! They dare to rob our Nanyue Kingdom village, and they dare to play with our Nanyue Kingdom women! I’ll buy them back and beat these barbarian bastards to death!”
"I'll offer one hundred and fifty taels! Buy a little bastard back to play with, to let the people of our Nanyue Kingdom vent their anger!"
"I offer two hundred taels!"
The clamor of bids and offers sent a wave of excitement through the crowd. Perhaps the rough cloth youth's words had taken effect, for a simple transaction was now imbued with the weight of national righteousness, causing the price to skyrocket severalfold.
The rough young man held a whip, a smile plastered on his face. He lashed out at the child in the corner of the cage, "Yes, this spawn deserves to be vented on!"
Until then, the child huddled in the corner seemed to have no soul. Blood flowed freely from their body, but they didn't utter a sound. Even their eyes remained wide open throughout, as if trying to make sense of everything.
"I'll give five hundred taels!" The final bid came from a wizened old man, over half a century old. Supported by two attendants, he shuffled forward, leaning closer to the cage and peering intently at the child's face. "This little one is quite pretty, indeed. Very good, very good."
Qin LuoYan couldn't help but think, this old man looked quite elegant, he seemed different from those who shouted the price at the beginning. If this child was bought by him, would he not be subjected to such inhuman abuse
“Well, isn't this Mr. Liu from town” The big sister beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise, spitting out a mouthful of displeasure as she spoke, “One foot is already in the coffin, and he’s still acting so disrespectful! He’s exploited dozens, maybe even seventy, young girls.”
Playing with children
Qin Luo'yan's heart skipped a beat. When she looked at the old man again, she really saw naked desire in his eyes. There wasn't a shred of kindness or compassion there
