Chapter Eighty-Six: Buying a Car

Because there were too many displaced people along the way, and it was almost time for the autumn harvest, Meng Ge and they were in the town, and they couldn't take care of the car to the county seat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

All three of them had something hanging on them, and it was obviously not a good idea to walk to the county seat.

In the past, they were deep in the mountains, with no one around them except wild beasts, let alone roads, and they had no choice but to move forward with their burdens.

Now that I'm back in the world, I have to make myself more comfortable.

When he was worrying about where to hire a car, Yu Yang suddenly pointed in the direction of Du's medicine store and said, "Big brother, did that person send us to Uncle Xu who has sent us to the county seat twice?"

Hearing Yu Yang say this, Meng Ge looked over. If they were old acquaintances, maybe they wouldn't need to be ascetics.

Sure enough, the person who had just come out of Du's medicine store was that Uncle Xu.

It's just that Uncle Xu's face is very bad, and he has a few medicine bags in his hand, thinking that someone in his family is sick.

After all, they were old acquaintances, so Meng Ge took his two younger brothers over to say hello and say hello by the way.

"Hey, it's not all the animals. My son drove cattle to Siping Village to help people pull pigs to sell in the town, and was surrounded and robbed by homeless people halfway through. If the officers and soldiers hadn't arrived in time, my son would have died. Uncle Xu sighed.

"Huh?" Yu Yang opened his mouth wide in astonishment and asked, "Then your carriage is okay?"

Meng Ge listened to Yu Yang's words, and instantly had the urge to go back to the mountains to live in seclusion, this baby is too bad to speak.

At this time, he should ask with concern: "Uncle Xu, is he okay eldest brother?"

Xu Bo glanced at Yu Yang, shook the medicine bag in his hand at Meng Ge, and said, "The doctor said that if you hurt your waist, it is best to rest for a year and a half." But our family relies on our grandfather to work, where can we really lie down for a year and a half. Besides, I've heard that the conscripts are in town, and I don't know what to do. ”

Looking at Lao Xu's sad face, Meng Ge was also dissatisfied with the world. The old Xu family has two laborers, and one injured his waist. If you guess correctly, the one who will join the army at that time must be Lao Xu.

So, how should the frail old mother at home, the daughter-in-law who is about to give birth, and the two young grandchildren live?

If it was before, when the world was still clear, when the crops had not been reduced, and the banditry had not yet prevailed, maybe the old and weak of the old Xu family would have barely survived.

It's just that now, it's just fate.

Meng Ge suddenly thought of a possibility, so he asked, "Uncle Xu, do you sell your carriage? If you sell carriages, I want to buy them." My two younger brothers and I have to go into the city a lot, and we need a horse-drawn carriage to get around. ”

Lao Xu is worried about the horse. If he had gone to join the army, the feeding and use of the horse would have been a problem.

In case the imperial court wanted to conquer a horse, the horse could only be given free of charge. If you sell the horse now, you can get back your money and earn a sum of money.

As the so-called drowsiness and pillows, Lao Xu was thinking about where to sell horses, and the three of Meng Ge appeared here and offered to buy a carriage.

"Well, the carriage is going to be sold. Otherwise, in this world, there really isn't so much food to feed the horses. Besides, my son's body may not be able to catch the carriage in a short time. Lao Xu's face was full of joy, but he didn't go deep into his eyes.

Meng Ge knew that the silver he received from selling the carriage was limited, and it could only temporarily alleviate the embarrassing situation of the Xu family, and it would not help much.

After negotiating the price with Lao Xu, Meng Ge and the others followed Lao Xu home to get the carriage.

In these days, horses, like ploughing oxen, had to be registered by the yamen. Therefore, when it was transferred, it was still handled by the yamen.

Before going to Xu's house, Meng Ge bought some practical things in the town and brought them to Xu's house.

In addition to eating, Meng Ge also bought some good medicinal herbs. Among them, there are also precious medicinal materials collected by Meng Ge himself, and a jar of soaked tiger bone wine and deer antler wine.

The two jars of wine were both five catties. They are all tiger bones and deer antler velvet that Meng Ge hunted in the mountains before, plus some medicinal herbs.

In order to be able to soak those things, Meng Ge also made wine himself.

"Uncle Xu, don't be too polite. I hunted them myself, and I picked the herbs myself, so they really didn't cost anything. Good things have to be used in the right places, and that's a good thing. Meng Ge put the things on the Xu family's table and persuaded.

Lao Xu was also very reluctant to give the tiger bone wine and the deer antler wine, so he thought that he would directly give the carriage to Meng Ge later. It's the horse, and it's a little bit of silver.

After all, that tiger bone wine is excellent for his son's waist. There is also the deer antler wine, which is also a great tonic for his wife.

In the end, Lao Xu politely accepted all those things.

Meng Ge urged Lao Xu to quickly change hands on the carriage, and they were in a hurry to enter the city.

"Brother Yu, we've been buying that carriage for five years. At that time, the horse was bought for sixteen taels of silver, and it was still a foal. The prime stallion on the market also has a minimum of sixty taels. I will sell it to you fifty taels of silver. The carriage shall be given to you. It's useless for us to keep it. "The horses are gone, what do you want the carriage for?

Meng Ge disagreed, and said, "There are as many horses and carriages as there should be." In this world, silver money may not be able to buy food, and no matter how much silver money is kept, it is not of much use. If Uncle Xu has extra food at home, I would like to buy some to eat on the road. ”

"Do you have to buy food to go to the county seat?" Brother Yu, are you planning to take refuge?" asked Xu Bo in surprise.

Meng Ge replied sincerely: "I plan to find another place to stay." After all, there are too many homeless people here, and my third brother is like that, so I'm very worried. ”

So Uncle Xu didn't ask anymore, although he was very embarrassed, he still accepted Meng Ge's opinion, and collected the cost of the horse and the carriage with a shed in full.

"I'll give you the carriage rack, and it's not worth any money. Xu Bo insisted.

Meng Ge knew that with such a frame, a few taels of silver could hit one, so he didn't be polite to him and accepted it.

After going to the town's government to complete the formalities, it was half past noon. The people from the yahang asked Meng Ge what they were doing in the county seat, and Meng Ge said that he was going to sell something so that he could exchange some oil and salt or something.

The people of Yaxing had already seen the things on Meng Ge's three people, but when they were afraid that these good things would cause trouble at home, they didn't ask any more.

So, Meng Ge and the others went out of Xiaoluo Town smoothly.

On the road of tens of millions of Jinhe County, they are all the old, young, weak and disabled who are walking in Yuyu. Meng Ge looked at the empty frame that fell behind the car, and tried to beckon people to get into the car several times, but he held it down.

There is a lesson to be learned from the fact that the displaced people are fiercer than the tigers. When you shouldn't be kind, it's better to be indifferent.
