After listening to Red Kestrel's report, Zhou Yi was very interested in the Panda Man named Tuo Zhu.
However, when he saw Zhang He who came to deliver the message for Tuo Zhu, his attention was drawn to this thin and small man.
Zhang He, twenty-six years old, with dark skin and a beard, smiled with a bit of restraint and shyness, seated with his hands appearing somewhat out of place.
Yet he had been a Slave Merchant for ten years.
Zhou Yi asked, "How did you get into that line of work before?"
Zhang He smiled out of habit, "At first, I was a slave. My parents died, I had nothing to eat, and I was only seven or eight, unable to find any work; adults bullied me when I ran errands. Later, a Slave Merchant named Zidog came along, saying that any child who was willing could follow him and have enough to eat."
"Then I followed him. Later on... thank you."
Assistant Yuan Xiao handed him a cup of tea.
