Chance

In the room, Manager Yu was sitting on a rocking chair and smoking a pipe when he was suddenly informed that a customer had come in. Mrs. Mozi walked in, the room was medium sized with many things such as jewelry, whips, chains.

- 'Good morning Mr. Yu,' Ms. Mozi said as she sat down on the chair in front of him.

- Hello, how can I help you? Is there something you don't like? - He asked nervously.

- I came here with the hope of buying you a slave, specifically this boy Yangyou - answered Mrs. Mozi staring at him menacingly.

- As you know, a slave of his age will still earn us a lot of money during his life, but for the insight of your husband I can sell him for 50 gold coins - answered the manager.

- Here! Here - putting the bag of gold coins on the table. "I hope that he will be transported to my residence today, and that now that he is my property, he will be in such good health that he will be able to work. - she said nervously as she left the room.

- 'But of course, he will be sent to you today' he replied quickly seeing the fury on Mrs Mozi's face.

"The guard!"he exclaimed. "Yes Mistress? "he asked. "Take the boy to the doctor cure him in the morning, feed, and bathe him thoroughly and then have him transported to Miss Mozi's manor"-he said looking at the gold coins on the table and smiling.

Then the guard did as he was told and went and carried him to the doctor. The doctor was a young woman of about 25 years of age, when she saw him in this state she just looked at the guard without saying a word. He was emaciated, his anus was bloody, all his ribs were broken and his whole body was full of bruises. So she gave him a medium quality medicinal pill and smeared his body with medicinal ointment.

Yangyou knew that he would be transported because the guard did not forget to mention it to the doctor. He saw that this would be his only chance to escape. Lying on the bed he just waited for the doctor to leave and when she went to wash her hands he took the small knife lying on the doctor's table and quickly hid it so that it could not be seen. He then returned with the guard to his room, where he ate and then dressed.

After a few hours, the guard came into his room carrying heavy copper handcuffs in his hand. He walked up to him and shouted: "Hands!!!" The boy put his hands forward and the man tightened the shackles on them. He grabbed him by the arm and they started walking toward the exit. On the way, many slaves looked at him with envy in their eyes as if he had won a lottery ticket. Yangyou did not know, but rumors spread that the rich Maiden had bought him for a sack of gold.

In the square in front of the gate was a carriage with two harnessed horses, inside sat 2 guards on either side of the carriage. The guard put him on the carriage and sat next to him and on the other side sat the other guard who's expression was much older and looked like a veteran.

"I see we are going to export some little girl today, don't even think about any numbers or I will bludgeon you to death" - He laughed while looking at Yangyou and then made a serious face when he mentioned death. The veteran was at the 2nd stage of body hardening and the rest were at the first level. In total there were three guards one on the left, one on the right and the last one opposite.

Yangyou estimated that the situation would not be easy and planned to injure and then escape from the carriage. "I have to wait for something to distract the guards and then jump out of the carriage is the only option"- he thought

The carriage suddenly moved, the guards showed the documents and permission to leave. A moment later the gate opened and the carriage drove out into the bustling streets of Xiang City. The streets were crowded and every now and then one could hear vendors calling for their products. There were other carriages ahead of them, one of which seemed to belong to an influential person.

After a while, we arrived at the east gate, as Mrs. Mozi lived outside the city in a mansion. The guards checked the documents and then went to see if anything illegal was being transported. One guard recognized the veteran Mu Weixi. "I see they hired you to transport slaves again grandpa "he said and looked at Chu Yangyou.

- ''Yes, but today we are only transporting this girl, so it's a loose job how about you guys, anything interesting? - He asked the city guard.

- Well, today we had fun with some Miss who came to town from no one knows where, I tell you it was fun. Until now I can hear her screams - he answered with a strange smile.

- I see that nothing has changed, you are still hunting for Virgins - he said with a hint of reminiscence in his voice.

- Yes yes too bad you are doing somewhere else now your loss hahaah! - he laughed walking away from the wagon and letting the others pass.

The veteran re-entered the cart and they drove through the city gates. After driving away a bit, Yangyou could finally see the city walls and the entire city from the outside. The city walls were 30 meters high with many towers and ballistas to defend the city against the wild beasts.The city stretched across the horizon so that it was impossible to tell where it began and where it ended.

The carriage traveled slowly down the stone paved path toward the east, and from time to time they passed other carriages traveling toward the city. After a while, a bridge could be seen in the distance, and a rushing river below it. At that moment, Yangoyu knew that this might be his only chance to escape. He chose this moment to escape because he had no chance of fighting against cultivators, let alone escaping, as his speed could not match. The boy was aware that these guards were cultivators, but he had no way of knowing the exact strength of any of them. He based his judgement on his instinctive feeling that he could not match them even if he attacked with a surprise knife.

While they crossed the bridge Yangyou chuckled as he took out a small knife from his sleeve and prepared to take action.
