Chapter 15: Soma

He dismounted, his hands stained with a little horse tears, and sighed: "It's old, and it can't walk anymore." Just let it stay on this land. ”

Four of his men had already brought tools and dug a pit in the same place to bury the old horse.

The group rode all fat and fat horses, and now there is one less, and the trip will inevitably be blocked.

Su Xun proposed: "Big brother, why don't we ride the same horse?" ”

Su Lang shook his head slightly: "Let's go to the market and buy another horse." There was a hint of sorrow between his brows.

Xia Yu approached: "Is there something on the mind of the eldest brother?" ”

Su Lang smiled and disguised: "No." "Take the lead and walk towards the bazaar.

After eating, the four of them came to the livestock market of the market, and in addition to the Su brothers, there was also a man.

Xia Yu secretly observed this guy, who had a strange appearance, fair skin, a high nose bridge, and Turkic and Han Chinese blood.

Entering a horse pen specializing in buying horses, a groom had already greeted him: "Guest officer, are you here to buy horses?" You've come to the right place, we have some of the best horses in the whole market, pick and choose. ”

The man went to the manger, first to observe the color of the horses, and after sifting, he put his ears to the qualified horses one by one, and listened to the sound of the horse's flanks.

This is the listening bone method in Soma, Xia Yu said secretly, it seems that this guy brought by Su Lang is specially used for Soma.

The groom was always by his side and did not dare to disturb.

After about a quarter of an hour, the man finished the second round of Soma and selected the remaining five horses, and he raised the hooves of each horse to take a closer look.

Su Xun said a little more: "Xia Yu, I remember that you seem to be able to go to Soma too?" ”

Su Lang looked at Xia Yu: "Oh, brother-in-law, will you also be a horse?" ”

Xia Yu said modestly: "Only a little." ”

A trace of contempt flashed in Su Lang's eyes, and he said in an unkind tone: "Yes yes, no yes yes, how can there be a little bit of it." "What he hated most in his life was this kind of ambiguous statement.

Xia Yu didn't feel angry in his heart, and nodded solemnly: "Yes!" ”

"Oh, brother-in-law, pick me a horse!" There was more ridicule in the tone.

Xia Yu leisurely walked to an old horse lying on the edge of the trough and called the groom: "How much is this horse?" ”

The old horse's hair was yellow and withered, and in some places it was peeling off to reveal its white skin, and it was lying dying, and its eyes seemed to be closed and lifeless.

The groom laughed and said, "Why don't you do that?" Uncle, you can pick a horse in the horse pen, and this horse should be a gift, do you think it's okay? ”

Xia Yu slapped ten taels of silver in the groom's hand and pointed to the old horse: "I want this one, just give it to me." ”

The groom looked at Su Lang in embarrassment, and he and Su Xun turned their faces away at the same time.

Su Lang said hatefully: "Stay at home, stay at home, it's really embarrassing to come here." ”

Su Xun didn't dare to refute, he was most afraid of this eldest brother since he was a child.

"Tsk, such an old horse, the whole body seems to be sick, who else wants?"

"Not only that, this young man's brain is caught in the door, right? Ten taels of silver, and I give ten copper plates is too much. ”

"I don't think this young man is here to buy horses, but to burn his money for us. If you really have money, give each of us a little, and we will be grateful to you! ”

Those who were watching the horses in the horse pen saw that there was something fresh to see, and gathered around and laughed at Xia Yu.

Su Lang pulled Su Xun to stand farther away.

Xia Yu didn't care at all, and asked the groom indifferently: "Do you buy this horse or not?" ”

The groom period Ai Ai does not say that it is not for sale, nor does it say that it is not for sale.

Xia Yu slapped ten taels of silver into the palm of the groom's hand and asked, "Do you have a place to sell wine here?" ”

The groom said, "I have wine here." ”

Su Xun couldn't help but stretch his neck: "What does my brother-in-law want to drink." ”

With a cold snort, Su Lang said, "Who knows what tricks he is going to do." Quietly turned his head sideways to look at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu followed the groom to the other side of the horse circle, took out five taels of silver from his body, and bought two large vats of grain wine brewed by the groom. Each cylinder weighs fifty pounds.

Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Xia Yu carried a wine vat in one hand and came to the horse.

"I said, brother, are you going to let the horse have a drink?" One guy laughed uncontrollably.

"It's the first time I've heard that horses are going to drink, and I really laughed at it."

"This is also a detail of people showing off their wealth, if they don't show off their wealth, what is the difference between people living and salted fish?"

The faint sound of ridicule reached the ears of the Su brothers, and Su Xun strode forward. Su Lang had a dark face: "Let that guy not be ashamed, come back quickly." He didn't even bother to shout "brother-in-law".

As soon as Su Xun squeezed into the crowd, he saw a scene that made him extremely stunned, the mud seal of the wine jar was slapped open, and the horse staggered to his feet, stuck his head into the wine jar, and greedily drank the wine inside.

In the blink of an eye, the pot of wine was more than half drunk by the old horse, who burped and let out a long neigh.

The horses near the ring all flexed their forelimbs and shivered.

The old horse shook his head, the wine on his head spilled, and everyone looked at the old horse's eyes, which were as black as jewels, blazing, where is what an old horse should look like.

"This ...... Does this really have to be a sick horse? A spectator stammered.

"What is the origin of this young man, he actually has such a vision, and he fell in love with such a wonderful horse."

"At first, I thought the horse was really just a sick horse."

The spectators admired Xia Yu's Soma technique and admired it loudly.

Su Xun slapped Xia Yu's shoulder: "You kid can, I thought you really had to make a mistake just now?" ”

Xia Yu turned around and saw that Su Lang was also standing not far away.

"Young man, what is the name of this drinking horse, and he is also handsome." A spectator asked.

The old horse kept rubbing his head into Xia Yu's arms, very well-behaved.

"The name of this horse is Chasing the Wind Yellow." Xia Yu patted the head of Chasing Feng Huang and pulled it out of the manger: "This is a rare xenomorph in a hundred years, not only running like the wind, but also understanding people's words." ”

"You say this horse understands human speech? It's not a horse, it's a horse spirit! ”

Xia Yu lifted the remaining vat of wine and poured it on Chasing Fenghuang's body, all the sticky old hairs on its body fell off, and the exposed fur showed a thin layer of pale yellow.

Chasing Wind Huang let out a loud cry, which was extremely pleasant.

Xia Yu patted Chasing Fenghuang's head with satisfaction: "You will follow me in the future." ”

Chasing the wind Huang rubbed his head against Xia Yu's chest affectionately, a large piece of wet clothes appeared, and the spectators sighed, marveling that Chasing the Wind Huang was really psychic.
