Chapter 493: Unpleasant Smell
Ya Molian chuckled as she held his hand.
He also knew that the little girl was extremely reluctant to use his money now, and he just wanted her not to think about the money she had spent all the time, that's all.
...
After a while, the two came to the pawnshop.
Just as Ya Molian said before, Qianlin County was indeed very large, with many people and mixed groups. The poor places were very poor, and the rich places were very rich.
The poor could not eat enough, so they could only sell their children who were not very important to their families to ask for a few taels of silver to tide over the difficulties. Therefore, there were really many slave men and women in the pawnshop.
This pawnshop was really big, doing all kinds of business, even bringing in the fur of wild animals, which was collected here.
Zejue had been waiting in the pawnshop for a long time. The boss of the pawnshop was a middle-aged man. Hearing that Zejue's master wanted to buy a lot of people, he ordered the most eloquent pawnshop woman to come and serve.
As soon as Lin Caisang and Ya Molian arrived here, they were taken to the backyard.
"Hmm."
As soon as they arrived at the backyard, Lin Caisang smelled an unpleasant smell, which was caused by too many people crowded in the same place and unable to wash frequently.
"Broker, how many people are locked up here? It smells so bad? Don't you clean it?"
She covered her mouth and asked the broker who was leading the way in front in a vague voice.
When the broker heard her question, she turned her face and smiled apologetically at her.
"I'm really sorry, my dear guest. Our place is still good. The backyards of some other brokers are so dirty. In fact, there is nothing we can do about it."
She shook her head, and Lin Caisang listened to her slowly talking about the people who were sold to the broker.
"These people here are all from poor families, or they have committed some crimes at home, so they were sold to our yard. Some of them are okay, knowing that their future depends on us old women to find a good family to work for them, so they won't make noise.
But some people are different, they make a lot of noise, and some want to escape, so we replaced the iron railings in the backyard to prevent them from escaping.
But this makes it inconvenient to clean. We often have to send an old woman to clean a room, and we have to follow several thugs, otherwise we are afraid that they will make trouble. There have been cases where the cleaning old woman was beaten before.
As for bathing those people, those who are obedient can wipe their bodies or something, but bathing is impossible."
She smiled again and said.
With so many people locked up, how can they have the energy to bathe those who want to escape all day long? Just let them live like this. Anyway, the rule here is that the first person to arrive will be sold first.
Moreover, those who come to the pawnbroker to buy people may not meet someone like Lin Caisang in a few months, who buys so many people at once.
They always ask people to wait in front, and collect these pawnbrokers to take a few people out, wash them clean and then let the buyers choose, and not many people will come in the backyard.
"There are not many people like you who come to the backyard to choose. Usually we will wash the people clean before calling them to the front, so that customers will not smell this smell."
"That can't be..."
"Sang'er."
Lin Caisang was about to say that being locked up like this would make him sick, it was too dirty, but he was stopped by Ya Molian.
