Lin Wan raised his eyes, and sure enough, he could already see the scenery on the other side. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The autumn of Dongli comes earlier than Dafeng, the branches and leaves of the willow trees on the shore have begun to turn yellow, and the slender willow sways and sways lightly against the river breeze, dancing enchantingly, and has a unique charm.

The wind and waves really gradually stopped, and Boss Zhang sat on the bow of the boat, rowing his oars, and singing the boatman's horn loudly. The same trumpet sound was heard in the distance, one after another, as if to report peace to each other.

After about a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at the pier in Dongli. Boss Zhang held the penny, jumped ashore, and pulled the bow of the boat to the shore.

Qingtong got off the boat first, stretched out his hand, and helped Lin Wan off the boat, followed by Su Ziran, Xiao Zhuo, Hidden Soul, and finally the gale holding the red sail.

When he disembarked, the red sail was very cooperative, and before the gale could pull the reins, it had already followed the gale and ran off the boat.

The wharf is very lively, there are people who have just disembarked, there are people waiting to get on the boat, and there are many vendors who are doing business on the pier. There were old men and children, men in the prime of life and young women, poor people in rags and rich people with a lot of money.

In this era, even if you have the money to cross the river, you still only have to get a wharf to take a boat. So, the pier is a very lively place and the easiest place to make a living. Even if you wipe the sand-stained shoes of the rich, you might get a tip.

Most of the nobles in Dongli are the same as Jin Haoran, born with deep eyes and clear contours. However, among the common people, because the people of Dongli have mostly intermarried with the Dafeng people for generations, they have long been unrecognizable by their appearance.

Walking out of the crowd, Su Ziran first took Lin Wan and the others to the horse market in the north to buy horses. There are many horse dealers in the horse market, but high-quality horses are hard to find. Fortunately, Su Ziran was a frequent visitor here, and soon found a familiar horse dealer.

Passing through the dirty and smelly stable, there is a large yard with two rows of very clean stables, each of which is separated from each other and enjoys a separate space.

Lin Wan didn't have much research on horses, but after seeing the power of the Black God of War and the wisdom of Red Sail, other horses couldn't get into her eyes.

A middle-aged horse dealer was boasting to Su Ziran that he had a good new horse, Qingtong, Gale, Hidden Soul, and Xiao Zhuo had already selected the horses and fed them in the stable.

Lin Wan took Hongfan and came to a place in the yard where he put hay, personally picked up a bunch of fresh forage and put it in the trough, patted Hongfan's neck, and said with a smile: "Hongfan, are you greedy?"

Seeing Hongfan happily chewing the grass, Lin Wan was also in a very comfortable mood.

Suddenly, an old voice came to my ear: "I want that red bantam horse." ”

Lin Wan raised his eyes and saw a thin old man in his fifties, wearing a black cloth coat, with a green bamboo plaque and a shabby square cloth bag hanging from his waist, and a pair of eyes looking straight at his red sails.

The old man's eyes were sharp, his expression was cold, and his hands were clean, but his nails were black, and they were long and hard. At a glance, he knew that this was a master who was not easy to mess with, and Lin Wan couldn't help frowning.

The young man smiled with some embarrassment: "Sorry, guest officer, this horse is not from our shop, it is the girl's own horse." We also have a lot of valuable horses here, so take a look at them!"

The thin old man's eyes shrank, and he said in an unkind tone: "Little girl, sell me your horse, and I will pay ten times the price!"

Lin Wan raised his head timidly, saw the thin old man's fierce gaze, lowered his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... This horse can't be sold ......"

The thin old man frowned and asked impatiently, "What about your parents?"

Lin Wan shook his head, tears fell, and said in a low voice: "My parents died early, and I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child....... Even my grandfather died...... This horse was left to me by my grandfather, and I can't sell it. As he spoke, he shook his head firmly.

The thin old man looked at a crying little girl, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he persuaded patiently: "Little girl, don't cry! I will give you a lot of money, enough for you to live a lifetime." ”

Lin Wan sobbed and cried, shook his head, and refused to die.

All the people in the courtyard looked over to this side, and Gale Wind, Qingtong and the others had already noticed Lin Wan's movements. But they have been by Lin Wan's side for a long time, and they also know her personality, at this moment, she pretends to be pitiful and sympathetic, she must have her intentions.

Su Ziran walked over with an unhappy face and scolded: "Amu! In front of the public, what kind of system are you crying and crying?"

When Lin Wan heard this, she raised her head in horror, and quickly silenced herself, not daring to cry anymore, but she still couldn't speak.

Seeing that Lin Wan couldn't speak clearly for a while, the thin old man turned to face Su Ziran and asked, "Who are you from this girl?"

Su Ziran owed slightly, and said very politely: "Amu is the cousin and niece of the younger generation, because of the changes in the family, she only came to join me recently, which made the seniors laugh." ”

Seeing that Su Ziran was so polite, the thin old man's tone was better, and asked, "The old man has taken a fancy to her horse, can you let her sell it to the old man?"

Su Ziran hesitated for a moment, then lengthened his voice and said, "This--this horse is indeed the only thought left by my recently deceased cousin uncle to this poor cousin niece......

"Fifty taels of gold!" The thin old man interrupted Su Ziran's words and directly quoted a price that was enough to shock everyone.

The courtyard was quiet, and all eyes were focused on Su Ziran's body. The middle-aged Ma Shang swallowed his saliva, eager to help Su Ziran agree. Fifty taels of gold is enough to buy all the horses in this yard, and then build on this yard.

Su Ziran's face was full of confusion, he opened his mouth, and said ruthlessly, "Since the seniors like this horse so much and are so sympathetic to this poor child, the younger generations are not good at brushing off the good intentions of the seniors, so they will follow the seniors." ”

"Uncle Cousin!" Lin Wan exclaimed, looked at Su Ziran in disbelief, and shook his head desperately.

The surrounding spectators all felt that the little girl was pitiful, but they all thought that the horse should be sold, after all, the price was too tempting. If a horse can be exchanged for a life of worry-free life, it is still worth it for a down-and-out orphan girl.

However, Lin Wan pleaded bitterly with tears on his face: "Uncle Cousin, please, you can't sell my horse, this horse was left to me by my grandfather." Uncle Cousin, Amu can give you all the shops left by his grandfather, and Amu also helps you with laundry and cooking, just ask you not to sell the red sails, please ......" He cried again.

The thin old man was already impatient, took out fifty taels of gold from the cloth bag on his waist, threw it into Su Ziran's hand, took a few steps forward, snatched the reins from Lin Wan's hand, and was about to pull the red sail out. (To be continued.) )
