Chapter One Hundred and Eight. Run faster than people
();
"The business has been stolen by those big carts and horse shops, although we are a time-honored brand here, we can't cover it."
This is not a muttering complaint, but a hesitant truth, which makes people feel more angry. The shopkeeper's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to scold, but suddenly as if he thought of something, he stopped scolding, and turned his mouth to reprimand: "You two brothers, I really don't give me peace of mind, your brother, a good iron rice bowl, can be masturbated by others......"
"Big brother wasn't masturbated, he was demoted...... the young man grinned and disagreed.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened: "Isn't that the same!" And you, Cheng Rijie didn't work hard, so he made up your messy things, if it weren't for the sake of your two parents dying early, I could have taken you in and broken your heart for you all day? ”
"Second uncle, it's okay if you don't accept us," the young man changed his name and replied honestly, "But my brother said, you don't have a son, and you take us in to support you for the elderly!" ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
The shopkeeper choked on a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and his fingers shook and poked in the air: "Nonsense! Sling the bull! ”
was shouting, and a voice suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Can you rent a carriage or horse in this place?"
It was a young woman's voice, quite high-pitched, and the surprise and joy in her tone almost broke through the sky, and the shopkeeper's expression changed suddenly, and he replied with a smile: "Of course, of course, please come in," and then he glared at the young man, "It's not good to entertain this girl......"
"Pick me two horses that can run fast, the carriage doesn't matter, just sit on it, if it weren't for the fact that there is no horse track on the other side of Baogu Road...... Alas, forget it, I'm in a hurry, please hurry. ”
The girl at the door spoke quickly, and the two of them were stunned for a moment and couldn't answer.
No one answered, Su Musha also felt inexplicable, looked up at the plaque hanging overhead, and after confirming that it was the five words "Return to the carriage and horse shop", he asked strangely: "What's wrong?" Your business is so good, all the cars and horses are rented out? ”
"Horse ...... in the Backyard"
The young man's words were interrupted by the shopkeeper with a blank face, and he kindly asked Su Mu to cover the door, and only after she sat down on the chair did he say: "Girl, it's unfortunate that there are only two horses left in the shop that have not been set, and the leg strength is okay, and there is no problem in running short and medium distances." ”
"Then pull it out and I'll take a look."
The shopkeeper's smiling face stiffened slightly, but he still held his smile, arched with a smile, and pulled the young man to the side.
"Second uncle...... the young man opened his mouth to call, but he still changed his name under the fiery gaze of the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you know what kind of quality our horse is, it's okay to pull the goods, and the solicitor can't run fast, the girl is in a hurry when she sees it, so it's better to let her go to another house." "The young man is honest, and he can't help but feel weak when he thinks of the fatigue of his horses, so he makes this now.
"You know what?" The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, "No matter how slow the horse runs, it can run faster than a person, now in this world, the business can be done a sum of money, how can there be a stupid reason to push it out?" Go pick two horses, and there's a cart behind you that you've tinkered with? Put it on, hurry up, don't make people wait. ”
The two of them muttered in the corner, and their voices were not loud, so they did not notice that the female guest had heard their whispers clearly.
Su Musha raised his eyebrows amusedly: Of course horses run faster than people, and this is really interesting. I'm not sure what kind of horse will come out later.
But she was in a hurry to get out of the city, and her destination was a small town eighteen miles outside the city, which was not far from the city gate.
When he was young, the young man pulled a "carriage" out of the backyard and stopped in front of the door, Su Musha looked at it, his eyes almost fell out, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "This cart ...... Originally, I used to pull Chinese cabbage. ”
"No, it's not......" The young man blushed, he pulled out a curved roof from the side of the cart, flicked his arm, pressed down slightly with his backhand, pulled a roof up, stood on tiptoe and pushed the side of the car, and it was like half a cover, covering the roof on the car. In this way, the cart is like having half a roof, half sun and half shade.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, this is his own improvement? Rain or shine dual-purpose car, a little idea. However, the requirements for rain are very high, and you can only play straight, not with the wind, and it will not be good if it is a slanting wind and drizzle.
She was curious, and took a few steps forward to look at the two horses, and found that the two horses looked a little strange. The eyes are large, round but lacklustre, the ears are small, pointed, but not well-turned, and the neck is long, curved but stiff.
This is really a good breed, a horse.
There is also such a new thing in the alleys, interesting, interesting.
The shopkeeper followed out of the door, and when he saw that Su Musha couldn't move, he hurriedly said, "Isn't the girl in a hurry?" Get in the car," he said tentatively, "where is the girl going?" ”
"Huh?" Su Musha came back to his senses, "On the outskirts of the city." Eighteen Mile Town. ”
"Eighteen Mile Town......" The shopkeeper secretly calculated in his heart: This trip is not far or close, how much money is appropriate? He estimated a number, and added a little more when he exported: "Three hundred yuan," after looking at Su Musha, his momentum somehow weakened, and he reduced the amount added a little more, "It's cheaper for you, two hundred and eighty dollars." ”
"Two hundred and eighty dollars...... Back and forth? All right. Su Musha said with a deep groan.
The shopkeeper's jaw was almost dislocated: two hundred and eight rounds, this girl is black enough. But thinking of the style of Eighteen Mile Town, there is not much hope of carrying another passenger on the return trip, so let's go back and forth.
Thinking of this, he reluctantly went to tell the young man: "Xiao Liu, serve this guest well, go and come back quickly." ”
Xiao Xiao answered, looked at Su Musha with blank eyes, and saw that she didn't move, thinking that she was still hesitating and wanted to lower the price, and her eyes couldn't help but show a look of begging.
Su Musha met his gaze, smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, got on the board car sideways, sat next to Xiao Liu, and said kindly: "Let's go." ”
"Okay—"
Xiao Xiao pulled out the whip at his waist and flicked it into the air, and after a crisp sound, the two horses started slowly, and in the creaking sound, the cart was pulled slowly.
Su Musha looked at the sky speechlessly: It's not as fast as me.
At this time, she hadn't walked out of the alley yet, she could get out of the car at any time, Xiao Liu's expression was a little nervous, and she explained anxiously: "Girl, you see that these two horses start slowly, but the stamina is sufficient, as long as they run, no, not too slow, it won't delay your business......"
(Heroine's diary 218, when I read the third afternoon in August, I took this kind of car for the first time, if I didn't have something to do, I could taste it)
