The human market was crowded and bustling with activity. During this period of time, the flood in Jiang-Nan province had caused a disaster. It destroyed the grass huts of the civilians and flooded the fields. These victims could only live by selling off their girls or by selling off their bodies to become slaves.

She did not simply buy a few servants to serve her. There was no need to talk about the servants at the Wutong Courtyard. After all, this was the Prime Minister's residence, so these servants were quite considerate in their service. The reason why she bought these people was to make plans for the future. Naturally, her demands would be different. Only those with a strong desire to live could meet the standard of "O".

The victims of the trafficking were all thin and sallow, dressed in rags. They were being sold at a high price as if they were livestock goods.

Just as Yu Yu was sizing up the victims, suddenly a scream sounded out, it was abnormally mournful.

She looked towards the source of the voice. Not far away, there was a group of people gathered together. The voice was coming from that direction. From the sound of it, he was still a child.

Yu Yu's expression changed and he quickly walked over. In the hands of traffickers, these victims had no dignity whatsoever. In the eyes of the traffickers, they were just an object, a commodity, a tool that could help them make money. It looked like the traffickers were abusing him.

Among the crowd, there were people on the third level and those on the third level. There were even some who were still jeering.

"Fight, keep fighting."

"This little girl is pretty tough."

"I can't tell, but he's rather sturdy."

The crowd began to discuss this without any mercy.

He frowned. This was the way of the world. The rich and the poor and the poor and the poor and the In modern times, these traffickers would have long been brought to justice.

However, it was useless for him to think about it. After all, he had transmigrated to the Wu Kingdom. This dynasty only treated the sale of people as a proper business, so the government would not care about it.

The screams continued, and because they were so close, they were clearer than anything else. This time, they recognized the voice of a little girl. She pushed her way through the crowd.

A little girl was lying on the ground. She looked to be about seven or eight years old. The little girl's face was still childish, but her eyes did not show the fear a child should have. Instead, it was filled with anger as she glared at the man who had whipped her. A resentful expression appeared in her eyes.

"How dare you look at me, you lowly servant." The man viciously raised his whip and swung it again.

Ah!" The little girl instinctively dodged, but was still hit by the whip. Immediately, another shocking wound appeared on her body.

Yu Yu's heart tightened. This man was really too vicious. He actually did such a vicious thing to a little girl who had no strength to tie a chicken. However, since this was an ancient era, she knew her limits. These victims' lives were already in danger, so it was normal for them to be beaten up.

A trafficker was standing in the middle of the field, shouting and spitting with his mouth full of saliva.

"Come take a look, everyone come take a look. All of them are top quality goods." Don't underestimate this little girl. She is so petite and petite that even an adult with such brute strength might not be able to match her. This little girl was only seven years old, and she had managed to escape out of the water by herself to the capital. The roads were filled with plagues and bandits, but hehe, this little girl was actually able to survive even after suffering so much. Even after getting into my hands, you still try to escape? Now, if I catch you, you won't give in. "

Jiu Zun stood to the side, carefully observing the little girl on the ground. The little girl had messy hair and a pretty face. Her thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a strong sense of stubbornness. With a single thought, it was her.

"If this girl were to be in the hands of any noble person, she would be extremely capable." "Anyone who likes it will get 10 taels of silver as soon as possible, or else someone else will snatch it first." The trafficker continued to shout.

"10 taels of silver, how much would it take to buy an adult? A little girl is so expensive, isn't it too outrageous?"

"That's right, that's right. A sky-high price. "

Most of the onlookers were just here to watch the show. When they heard this price, they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

"If no one buys your little hoof today, I'll teach you a lesson. I'll see if you still dare to run." The trafficker's eyes turned cold and his face turned gloomy.

The man raised his whip again and swung it down with a ferocious look.

As quick as lightning, Yu Yu abruptly grabbed the whip, and with a tug of his strength, the whip fell from the man's hand.

"Brat, you dare to cause trouble." The man's eyes revealed an ominous glint as he roared in an aggressive manner.

"I'll buy it." He threw out a few cold words.

The trafficker hurriedly reprimanded the man with the whip and said with a face full of smiles, "This young master can be said to be extremely intelligent. Let's just hand him over and deliver him."

Yu Yu didn't waste any time with him. He signed the contract, threw the silver tael to the side, and left with the little girl on the ground.

"Do you have a name?" he asked as they walked.

The little girl vigilantly replied, "Since I have sold myself to Young Master, I will not use my original grass name anymore. I will do as Young Master wishes."

Although the little girl was young, she had a tactful way of speaking. She had a sharp tongue, and it was exactly what he liked about her.

"Seeing that you are so stubborn, this young master will give you a name." He was silent for a moment before he blurted out. She also hoped that this little girl could be as tenacious as grass and continue to live bravely.

"Thank you for the name." Yao'er saluted slightly, but there was no trace of happiness on her face.

He looked at Grass's still young face and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

What kind of world was this? Fortunately, he was born in a new era, so he did not have to worry about the pain of being separated, nor did he have to endure wars and natural disasters. However, he had already transmigrated, so there was no point in thinking about it.

Looking at the slightly suppressed corner of Grass' mouth and the stubbornness in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel a tender affection for him.

The two of them continued forward. The sound of hawkers rose and fell one after another. A large number of victims were waiting to be sold off.

When he reached a place with the grass, he stopped.

A few victims had grassroots stuck in their heads and were being watched by buyers.

The trafficker was introducing the situation of the victims in great detail.

While listening to the description of the traffickers, she carefully sized up these few people.

A thirty-year-old couple caught their attention.

The man was stout and tanned. The woman lowered her head and looked at him, her hands and feet were slender and slender.

He asked for the price, and without hesitation, signed the bill and bought the couple.

"The couple immediately thanked him." Thank you, young master, for saving me. From today onwards, we will follow Young Master with utmost loyalty. "

Yu Yu gave a faint smile and asked the names of the two people. So the man's name was Wang Sheng, and the woman was Lady Xu. Flooding at home forced him to sell himself as a slave.

After a few simple chats, the three of them were brought to a mansion, where they could settle down.

She had used Xiao Yun Chen's money to buy this house, so it was a good place for them to settle down.

Grass had a cautious look on her face.
