The young man pulled the wooden stick hard, and his face turned red, but he saw that the silk was not moving. But when he saw the tall young man in front of him, he suddenly became a little scared and said embarrassedly: "What are you doing? That's a thief who steals things. What are you stopping me from doing!"

"There is no need to make things difficult for the little girl. I bought her things twice as much."

Chen Ran looked at the escaped little girl and said this to himself.

When the clerk heard that Chen Ran was willing to pay twice as much, he immediately had a smile on his face.

...

When Chen Ran returned to the position where the little girl was before, he saw the little girl's bread in her brother's hand. Although it was the cheapest type of black bread, the little guy still ate it with relish and soon drank the whole bread, but he still looked unsatisfied.

But the little guy didn't notice that the sister who was stealing for him was also hungry and secretly swallowed from an angle that her brother couldn't see.

Actually, she also wants to eat it.

Seeing this scene, all kinds of thoughts appeared in Chen Ran's mind, but he couldn't say anything. He walked over and the obvious posture was discovered by the little boy's sister. The little girl had a little impression of Chen Ran's dress. She seemed a little nervous and took her brother's hand and was about to escape.

Chen Ran was quick and grabbed the slender arm. The little boy's sister struggled to escape, but she couldn't escape from Chen Ran's palm.

"Sir, I don't know you, would you make things difficult for us?"

Facing the strong adult, the little girl was finally anxious.

"Why did you want to..."

Chen Ran's words were not finished, but the little girl looked frightened and quickly interrupted Chen Ran's words.

"Sir, do you have anything to say alone? I won't escape. But please don't say it."

The little girl cares a lot about what happened before.

This reminded Chen Ran of some laws of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The slaves seemed to steal things and wanted to chop their hands and feet. Depending on the situation, it was very serious anyway, because the managers here were very impatient with these slaves, but if the Austro-Hungarian soldiers committed the crime, the general punishment would be small.

Looking at the little girl's anxious look at her brother's anxious appearance, Chen Ran seemed to understand the sister's concerns. Without saying much, he took out a piece of the ordinary pastry he had bought from the small paper bag he brought with him and handed it to the little boy. At the same time, he said, "Your sister and I have something to say, you can leave first."

The child is very easy to coax. Although the little guy thought he had found something before, when he saw a piece of fresh pastry before he was full, he suddenly lost all his thoughts. He just called uncle and left.

Chen Ran, who was called uncle, felt a little depressed. He didn't expect that he could not escape the title of such a tragic title, but he didn't respond on the surface. He just asked the little girl lightly: "Okay, your brother has left for the time being, and tell me why you were stealing."

After seeing her younger brother finally left, the little girl suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she couldn't stop tears flowing down her eyes. She knelt down obediently, and even had some special education of aristocratic etiquette.

"Thank you, sir, I can't let my brother know that I've been a thief." The little girl wiped her tears, but she had no worries. A clear tears immediately flowed down her cheeks. "I know, I shouldn't steal, but I can't do it. My brother and I haven't eaten for a day, there's nothing to eat at home, my father and mother are not around, and I don't want to do this."

The little girl cared about his brother's opinion of him. The word thief is really bad, especially in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. She didn't want her brother to hear that she had been a thief, which had a huge impact on a simple child.

Judging from the awkward approach before, the little girl should have stole something for the first time, but before, if Chen Ran had not taken action, the consequences of the little girl who could not afford to pay might be not only a beaten blow, but if she was sent to prison, she might face more shadows.

Chen Ran noticed the little girl's broken knees and the worn skin in her hand. Chen Ran used his healing technique. Under a few white lights, the wounds quickly recovered as before.

But when the little girl saw the pure light, there was a hint of incredible in her eyes.

"Is this holy light?"

"Yes, I'm a pastor," Chen Ran replied.

"It's really the Holy Light..." A trace of inexplicable excitement appeared in the little girl's eyes: "Are you sent by the Holy Light to save us?"

After seeing Chen Ran's hand, the little girl seemed very excited and a little incoherent. She took out a necklace from her collar, holding a silver-white holy cross.

"At the beginning, my grandfather told me that praying for the holy light will bring us good luck. As long as you believe it, the messenger of the gods will come to save us," the little girl looked at Chen Ran with a little hope in her eyes: "Sir, are you here to help us?"

Chen Ran didn't expect that there would be believers who believe in the Holy Light here, and they were still in this corner. This kind of existence made him, who knew the bishop, seem to be unable to save him.

"Can you help me? I don't know. I'm just passing by, but you can tell me the situation." Although the requirements for such children are generally not too difficult, Chen Ran didn't say enough. He asked with some emotion: "Where is your family?"

"Sir, please save my parents. As long as I can save them for me, I will do whatever I want! Please!"

Chen Ran calmly said, "Let me tell me what the situation is. Even if I was sent by the Holy Light, I am not omnipotent."

"Sir, that's right," the little girl replied nervously. "A few days ago, my father went out to work and accidentally broke the vase of an Austro-Hungarian. It seemed very valuable and we couldn't afford it. So my father was locked up, and the debt was brought to the house. My mother was taken away and went to a slave store for auction. If she was sold and got money, she could only let my father come out."

Looking at Chen Ran's thoughtful movements, the little girl thought he was hesitating and kowtowed to him: "Sir, please save my family. I am still a child now and can't raise my brother. As long as you can rescue them, I am willing to be auctioned on behalf of my mother. I am 14 years old now and will become an adult in two years. I can do anything for you. My mother used to be quite beautiful. I believe it won't be too ugly as long as I grow up. Please save my family! If it's too late, we may not see our mother again."

The little girl pulled Chen Ran's clothes, and her eyes were soft-hearted.

If you don’t meet someone like Chen Ran, it’s fine. If you meet someone, even if you can’t get anything, you will help you.

"Then tell me where is your mother?"

"Thank you so much, sir!"

The girl's eyes seemed to have found hope, and even forgot her hunger. She was afraid that Chen Ran would go back on her repentance, so she took Chen Ran to her mother's place.

...

Heaven is a slave market, which is one of the major features here.

This is the largest and most public slave auction house in the mainland. Here you can buy all the goods you can choose. Although the types here are relatively single and you cannot buy rare things like elves and mermaids, the business model here is more close to the major classification of daily necessities.

Most of the slaves here are guys who cannot support themselves, or are forced to mortgage them because of some reason for debt, and some even take their useless second-hand slaves here for sale in exchange for slaves they need more.

Here are divided into male slave market and female slave market. Most of the men work in the village and belong to the category of coolies. If they are bought, they will have no sovereignty even if they are castrated. The situation of female slaves is better because they act as men's clothes, and those who are more beautiful will be dressed up specially.

Because of the characteristics of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, unless it has a perspective-like function like Chen Ran, it is difficult to see decent beauties on the street. More places where Austro-Hungarians choose women are from the slave market to choose from. Here, women are placed in various tempting ways to buy customers.

Here, money is the first.

This is not the first time Chen Ran has seen a slave auction, but elsewhere, those are sold as hidden luxury goods, but here it has a complete business model. If you want to spend money, you can buy any slave you want here.

The prices of these slaves are mostly between 100 gold coins and nearly 1000 gold coins. It depends on the product. The more money you spend, the better you can usually choose, but it is not ruled out that you can find female slaves with higher cost performance.

For real Austro-Hungarians, it is very interesting to visit the slave market in their spare time, and you may be able to find something you like.

The little girl named Shasha who came with Chen Ran looked around nervously, and her hand holding the corner of Chen Ran's clothes had never been loose.

For a little guy with her identity, if it weren't for the noble man Chen Ran, she would have been beaten out on the spot. When the slave market came to talk to the noble adult beside her, if it weren't for her mother's affairs, she would have been unable to help but run away.

This is the place where female slaves are sold. Looking at those female slaves trapped in prison or shackled by shackles, little girls like Shasha can't help but imagine their fate when they grow up. Perhaps if you are not careful, you will become one of the goods on it.

Although Shasha is 14 years old, her long-term malnutrition makes her look like a boy of eleven or 2 years old, not as big as the surface. However, Chen Ran saw from the little girl's words and deeds that compared to children in other places, girls like her are already very sensible, and even more stable than big girls like Daphne.

Fate forces people to learn how to live.

Most of the women in this business wear some exposed clothes, which is so simple that they can be compared with the Amazons that Chen Ran knew. They just wrap a rag on their chests and a fig leaf on their waists, but they just want to make it easier to choose, and they just like goods to buy them.
