Chapter Thirty-Seven

human sacrifice

Qin Jun opened her mouth slightly, looking at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

Human animals, as the name suggests, are people who are used as livestock to buy and sell. They are kept in iron cages. Judging from their appearance and stature, they are all girls and children under the age of fifteen.

The price is clearly marked, one or two or two, three or five. The price varies and the quality varies. It is spring in the south at this time, and the jacket is still worn in the north. Human animals are tied up in cages with their hands and feet.Evaluation.

Seeing this, Qin Jun felt angry and cursed in a low voice, "You bastard!"

Ji Si glanced lazily, and followed behind Qin Jun without making a sound.

Almost as soon as Qin Jun stepped into this place, she became the focus of everyone's eyes. As she walked and watched, her steps were extremely slow and heavy, her eyes were bloodshot and red.

Some of the people in the cage were tied hands and feet and hung from the beams on the roof of the cage. Their bodies were elongated and exposed, with bruises all over their bodies, dirt all over their bodies, and they were half dead.

Some were not tied up, and they huddled together to warm each other. When they saw Qin Jun, they seemed to see a life-saving Buddha. They stretched out their hands in a daze, and waved weakly at Qin Jun.

Those people begged for help from Qin Jun with bellows-like voices.

"help me."

"Help."

"Buy me, my lord..."

A hand covered with dirt suddenly stretched out in front of her face. Qin Jun looked shocked, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, fell into Ji Si's arms, and was supported by her to stand still.

At this moment, an animal owner who had been watching Qin Jun for a long time came. He was from the Western Regions. He slapped the naked animal with a wretched smile.The female is no more than fourteen years old, the most compact age."

Qin Jun's face was livid.

"My lord, buy a few male and female animals. You can use them as slaves or maidservants, or as animals. If you want to beat or kill animals, you can do whatever you want." Another animal owner said, his eyes were shining, and he was nailed to JiSi body.

"Where do these people come from?" Qin Jun was so angry that she forgot to pretend to be dumb.

Seeing Qin Jun opening her mouth to confide a young girl's voice, the owner of the animal became surprised and became alert. He narrowed his eyes and said, "There is a war outside the Eternal Border. Naturally, these people are refugees from all over the country who fled during the war. Who are you?"

The animal owner gestured, and the animal owners who were scattered around guarding the cages began to slowly surround Qin Jun and Ji Si with unfriendly eyes.

Ji Si bowed her head and looked around coldly.

The rest of the animal owners smiled unkindly at Qin Jun: "Are you here to buy human animals or to sell human animals?"

"The one around you, the small one can give you so much," the leading animal owner spoke not fluent Chinese, and stretched out his hand to count Qin Jun, "Gold."

Ji Si pursed her lips, looked down at Qin Jun, and looked forward to her reaction like a victim.

Qin Jun was so angry that she took out a purse from her bosom and threw it on the face of the victim in front of her. The goldfish fell to the ground, "Deposit! I want all of these people!"

Seeing that Qian's eyes were open, the animal owner immediately smiled, "Yes, the young lady lives in that inn, and I will send someone to you right away?"

Qin Jun gritted her teeth: "Give them a piece of clothing."

The owner of the animal pretended to be in a dilemma, obviously he was a penniless iron rooster, "Miss, you are joking, we are setting up a tent outside the city to rest, these animals are usually kept in pens, how can they have clothes?"

The animal owners around laughed, obviously not paying attention to Qin Jun, women, in this Eternal Border, they are equivalent to goods.

Qin Jun searched on her body again, but there was no more money. At this moment, Ji Si handed over the jade pendant from behind, and handed it to the animal owner: "Find an inn, wash them clean, and bring them tomorrow when they are ready for food and clothing."

The victim held the jade pendant and sized it up carefully, "Yes, yes, the right is up to the two young ladies."

Back at the inn, Jin Xiu was looking for Qin Jun everywhere, and she was relieved when she saw Qin Jun returned safely.

Qin Jun had calmed down, and although she was angry, she didn't show it on her face. She just had dinner in the evening, thinking of the human sacrifice, and put down her chopsticks frequently.

Ji Si stood by the window with her arms folded and watched the night of the Eternal Border. The desert was yellow, and the sunset was surprisingly bright red. There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but her eyes were cold.

Jin Xiu took the chopsticks and served Qin Jun dishes: "Can't eat?"

Qin Jun shook her head, and instantly recalled that at the beginning of time travel, she saw refugees migrating in her dream. Although she was deeply in a dream at that time, she knew clearly that it was just a dream, and she closed her eyes to avoid the horrible scene.

Now that the dream has disappeared, she can't go back at all, and once again saw the scene where human life is as cheap as cattle and sheep, this scene is far more real than the dream.For a moment, my stomach was overwhelmed, and there was nothing left to eat.

"Lady Pin." Jin Xiu called Ji Si and signaled her to persuade the princess to eat.

Ji Si looked sideways, returned to the table, took the bowl and chopsticks from Jin Xiu, "What would the princess want to eat?"

When Qin Jun heard the word "princess", her hairs stood on end, and she suddenly thought that now the novel has come true and the illusion is real.If she didn't wear it on the sixth princess, what kind of predicament would she be facing now?

"I can't eat." Qin Jun's voice was difficult, as if he was choking on a stone.

Ji Si looked at her, "Are you scared?"

Jin Xiu was on the side, poking the charcoal fire with iron tongs, and asked, "Where did you go shopping today?"

Ji Si replied while picking up vegetables for Qin Jun: "The human animal market."

Jin Xiu also heard about this, she frowned and looked at Ji Si, scolding her continuously: "Why did you go where?"

Qin Jun waved her hand, "Human animal trading is brutal and inhumane, don't the local government care?"

"The mutual market is a neutral place, covering the whole world. The government of one country cannot control the people of other countries. The Qin and Zhou Dynasties did not allow the trading of human animals, but the Wuhu outside the customs is a serious business."

Ji Si pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "They are all low-born people just like me."

Jin Xiu then said: "The slaves of Qin and Zhou, except for the officials and clans who rebelled and were demoted to prison, were mostly bought and sold from outside the customs and the Great Wall. All countries went to war and killed each other's relatives. There was no friendship to talk about. Naturally, there is no friendship in other countries.Even status, like livestock."

Qin Jun said silently: "..."

At sunset, Jin Xiu removed the dining table.Ji Si gave Qin Jun the medicine to drink, and Qin Jun drank it painfully, while Ji Si drank it numbly, gulped it down, put down the bowl and looked at Song Wenzhou.

Song Wenzhou's face was pale, but his eyes were sharp. Holding a medical book, he said excitedly: "Earlier, the princess ordered the officials to try to prepare a medicine to alleviate the headache of the girl. Now the medicine is ready."

Qin Jun finally heard good news, "What kind of medicine?"

Song Wenzhou: "Tianshan snow lotus grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains outside the Guan. It was born in a bitterly cold place, but it has the warmest nature, which can just neutralize the cold and heat poison of Wushisan on Miss Lin and the sequelae of those sexually strong medicines."

Qin Jun's eyes lit up: "Go buy it now!"

Song Wenzhou sighed, and said: "My little one learned from yesterday that today, the supply of snow lotus is in short supply every year, and people have ordered them all."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si was expressionless, and finally even pulled her lips into a smile, as if what she said had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Qin Jun's expression, Song Wenzhou immediately felt that the trouble was coming out of his mouth, and said: "Princess, princess, there is nothing you can do about it, it's just... I finally got an idea, so I want to report it first..."

"Go down," Qin Jun held his forehead, "Don't do this, I won't eat you again."

Song Wenzhou immediately nodded and bowed to leave.

Qin Jun looked at Ji Si: "Aren't you going to ask?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ji Si started to remove Qin Jun's clothes, and said, "I can't use it. The blind doctor's medicine can help slaves so much. Once you take it, you can't stop. Ordinary snow lotus is of no benefit, unless it is a hundred years old.The snow lotus above is worth a thousand gold, and it still needs to be eaten, even if a rich man has exhausted his family property, the money is not enough to buy medicine."

Qin Jun: "...you know there is a way to alleviate the cold poison, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ji Si looked at Qin Jun: "I think it's useless to think about what you can't get, and it will only add to your troubles."

Qin Jun rolled over on the couch, wrapped herself in a quilt, turned her back to Ji Si, and suddenly said, "You used to be like them, hung in a cage...?"

Ji Si said indifferently: "I was no different from them back then."

"Do you hate them?" Qin Jun asked in a muffled voice.

Ji Si smiled softly, and pushed down the quilt for Qin Jun, revealing her blushing face and tear-filled eyes, and whispered, "I don't hate it. It's been too long, and all the pain has passed."

Qin Jun nodded indiscriminately, and gradually became aware of sleepiness, "I..."

Ji Si: "Sleep, Jin Xiu will keep vigil tonight."

Qin Jun nodded, her consciousness was dull, she closed her eyes and fell into a dream.

Ji Si looked at her for a moment, then wiped away the moist traces from the corners of Qin Jun's eyes with her fingers, put her fingers under her eyes for a closer look, and suddenly stretched out the tip of her pink tongue to scrape at her fingertips.

"Is it salty?" Ji Si asked lightly.

"Have you lighted the tranquilizing incense?" Jin Xiu came in with a bucket of water and asked Ji Si.

Ji Si nodded, got up and stroked the hem of her skirt, "I leave it to you."

Jin Xiu asked cautiously, "Where are you going?"

Ji Si: "Tired, go to rest."

Jin Xiu looked at her and frowned, and said, "Don't sleep too late. Tomorrow morning, leave the Eternal Border as soon as the remaining five truckloads are sold. This place actually deals in human sacrifices. I knew I shouldn't have let the princess come here."

Ji Si smiled: "Yes."

Jin Xiu felt annoyed: "You serve the princess by her side, don't follow her in everything like me... Forget it, you are a servant, and you should pamper her..."

Ji Si: "Yes."

Jin Xiu looked sideways: "Why didn't you talk back today?"

Ji Si smiled: "Are you finished?"

Jin Xiu: "..."

"I'm leaving." Ji Si closed the door.

At Kui Ye, Ji Si gently opened the window, jumped downstairs, and sneaked in the night.

Outside the city, the bonfire of the barbarians was burning to the end, the charcoal was burning, and the sparks fell on a jar of wine that was pouring out, and they jumped up quickly, and were extinguished by the wind in a blink of an eye.

Obviously, the Hu people consciously made a big deal. Except for keeping people in the city to take care of the animals and do things according to Qin Jun's orders, the rest of the people went back to the tent and celebrated with big fish and meat, and now they all died of drunkenness.

The barbarian who was on guard at night drank less, and woke up when a shadow fell in front of his eyes. He opened his eyes and saw the side of the blue and white skirt., Ji Si stood sideways, showing a beautiful profile.

The Hu man was delirious, and even bowed down to Ji Si devoutly: "...God of Lanming Lake, please protect me, I am willing to dedicate everything."

Lanming Lake is the mother lake of the Hu people. It has supported tens of thousands of Hu people in the vast yellow sand outside the Great Wall.According to folklore, the God of Minghu is an extremely kind god. She has a beautiful face and an inviolable temperament. No one dares to blaspheme the god. If she sees her, she will bow down and respect her like a biological mother.

"Dedicate everything?" Ji Si looked sideways, "Then go to die."

The barbarian was stunned, and before he could wake up, he felt a chill on his neck, being wiped by a very thin sword blade, and blood flowed horizontally.

"Goddess..." Boom, the barbarian fell and knocked over the wine jar, making a noise.

The rest of the Hu people woke up one after another and looked at Ji Si in amazement.

Ji Si: "I'll get the jade pendant."

In the middle of the night, the wolves howled somewhere, drowning out the wailing of the barbarians.

Qin Jun hugged the quilt and rubbed her face, turned over and fell asleep with a peaceful face.
