Brotherband 4: Slaves Of Socorro - Plot & Excerpts
‘How do we find the bazaar?’ she asked. Gilan gestured to the milling throng around them. At least half the people were carrying bundles of goods to trade, usually by the simple expedient of balancing them on their heads, tied up in giant rolls. Others were leading donkeys laden with nets of fruit and vegetables. ‘Follow the crowd,’ he said. ‘That’s where they’ll be heading.’ They allowed themselves to be carried along with the human tide. It was, Lydia thought, a little like floating downstream in a strong river current. Eventually, they arrived at the market. Stalls were laid out in neat, ordered rows, most of them with green or brown awnings to keep the heat of the sun off the goods and the traders themselves. Fruit, vegetables, meat and livestock were all on display, usually laid out on blankets spread over the cobblestones. The air was alive with voices shouting, arguing, laughing and bargaining in half a dozen different languages, the common tongue being the most prevalent.
