Chapter 90: Buying a Horse

Lin Mo asked, "How is today?" Are you used to it? Tomorrow you should go back early, it is inconvenient to go back when it gets dark. Sun Yunxi shook his head and said: "Today is also handy, since I am in charge of that shop, I naturally can't leave easily, if I leave, what do other guys think, this matter still has to be treated equally." Although I am a woman, I still understand this truth, if you take special care of me here, it will be difficult for you to convince the public. ”

Lin Mo knew that she was reasonable, but he really didn't worry about her alone, so he said: "It's better to move to my house tomorrow, so that you don't have to go back and forth." Don't worry, there are still a few people in my family, just as a temporary residence, others will not chew the root of the tongue. Yun Xi shook his head and said: "How can this be done, you help me everywhere, I don't want to go anymore, if this is the case again, then I really don't know how to advance or retreat."

Sun Yunxi was so resolute that Lin Mo had to give up, Lin Mo asked Sun Yunxi to wait for him on the spot, and then ran away, and after a while, Lin Mo came over with a bright lantern. "It's easier to get on the road with this." Lin Mo laughed. Sun Yunxi hurriedly thanked Lin Mo and was about to take the lantern and leave.

"Anyway, if you have nothing to do at night, I'll send it to you." Saying that, Lin Mo no longer ignored Sun Yunxi's objections, and led Sun Yunxichao forward, but Sun Yunxi had no choice but to hurry up.

There are only ten miles of road in Qingshan Town, and it usually takes half an hour to arrive by horse-drawn carriage, even if you don't take a car, it only takes an hour to walk. The two went out of the city, Lin Mo wanted to find a carriage to send Sun Yunxi back, but he didn't see the carriage, so he must have either set off or gone home to rest.

Sun Yunxi said: "Boss, go back, I'll just walk back by myself." Lin Mo is still not at ease, in his previous life, he often heard news reports of women's night accidents, not to mention that the current public security is 108,000 miles worse than in the previous life, Sun Yunxi has a good face, and she is also a complete beauty, in case she encounters a bad person, the consequences are unimaginable.

Lin Mo took the lantern and said, "I'll send you home." Saying that, he led Sun Yunxi to continue walking, and when Sun Yunxi saw this, no matter how he persuaded Lin Mo, he still insisted, so he had no choice but to let Lin Mo send him home. Just out of the city, there are still some people, very popular, the more you go to Qingshan Town, the more sparsely populated, after walking for three or four miles, you can't see the lights at all, Sun Yunxi opened her mouth and asked Lin Mo: "Dongjia, why do you take care of me so much?" Do you have pity on me?"

Lin Mo stopped when he heard this, shook his head and continued to walk forward, and said in his mouth: "It's not that I pity you to help you, I just want to let the people I am familiar with have some life, and I have the ability to help you, so I will help, and there are no other factors." Sun Yunxi listened and bit his lip, this man explained with a reason that was not convincing, but he still chose to believe him in his heart.

Along the way, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Lin Mo began to tell the story of his previous life, especially the most famous Journey to the West, Lin Mo talked about the sound and color, Sun Yunxi listened very attentively, the two walked forward step by step on this dark night road, although Lin Mo didn't see a few figures, but he always felt that someone was following him, so he had to increase it

Voice, dispel the fear in your heart.

Before they knew it, the two finally arrived in Qingshan Town. Lin Mo saw Sun Yunxi's door from a distance, so he handed the lantern to Sun Yunxi and said, "You go back, I should leave too."

Sun Yunxi hurriedly said: "Let's go to the house and have a cup of tea, you have worked hard all the way, and your mouth is dry, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Lin Mo shook his head and said that it was not too early, he should go back, and left after saying goodbye. Seeing Lin Mo's back disappearing into the dark night, Sun Yunxi suddenly thought of something, looked at the waiting building in his hand and regretted it, and finally sighed and returned home.

Lin Mo walked alone on the empty road, regretting it in his heart, he had brought the lantern if he knew it, but fortunately, the moon was big enough, and the moonlight sprinkled on the road illuminated the way forward, so that he would not get lost. However, Lin Mo still didn't regret it, such a sky, such a desolate place, if Sun Yunxi went alone, if something really happened, his conscience would be in peace for the rest of his life.

When Lin Mo returned to Qiannan, the city gate was almost closed, but fortunately Lin Mo was one step earlier, otherwise he would have to spend the night outside the city. After Lin Mo returned home, he found that Liu Kui's father and daughter had not rested and had been waiting for Lin Mo, and when they saw Lin Mo coming back, they immediately asked, "Brother Mo, why did you come back?" Did something happen?" Lin Mo shook his head and said, "No, it's just to send someone home, and it's too late to come back." Then he briefly talked about sending Sun Yunxi.

Liu Xin'er nodded when she heard this, after all, it was a bit dangerous to let a girl go out of the city alone and go home, Liu Kui frowned, and then said: "Lin Mo, if you don't let her live in the city, you can send it again, so as not to let her toss back and forth."

Lin Mo smiled: "Do you think I didn't say it? But she didn't want to. Liu Kui listened and said: "Why don't we buy a carriage, and I will send her back in the future, and the carriage will have to be used to pull goods on weekdays, killing two birds with one stone."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up and said, "This idea is good, but this medicine is going to trouble Uncle Liu." Liu Kui smiled: "What's the trouble, don't bother, I also know this Sun, it's a poor woman, since we can help, let's help, anyway, I have to prepare the goods at night and send her back by the way." Lin Mo nodded when he heard this and said, "Then it's troublesome Uncle Liu, and the rest will wait for tomorrow to go to the horse market to have a look, and then make a decision." After speaking, the three of them ate and rested.

The next day, Lin Mo woke up and found that Liu Kui's father and daughter had already gone out, and Lin Mo washed up and went to the horse market outside the city. The horse market is actually a small vacant lot, and there are a few traders with horses. On the one hand, horses are scarce, good horses are either pulled as war horses, or they are bought by large families to decorate the façade, folk horses are not common, and horses are very expensive, even if bad horses are very expensive, the general is really reluctant to use horse-drawn carriages. Of course, there are many benefits of horses, one is that the load bearing capacity is strong, and the goods can be pulled, and the other is that the speed is fast, basically more than two or three times that of the ox cart, and the ox cart is also very advantageous, the ox is much cheaper than the horse, and the weight bearing capacity is also very low

Wrong, it is slower, but some princes and nobles still prefer ox carts, which are slow, steady, and will not be bumpy when sitting.

Lin Mo looked at the horses in the horse market and frowned a little, these horses were all inferior horses, even the coat color was different, two horses were even a little lame, and the other one had lost his teeth, and he knew that he was very old at a glance, and he was alive in a few days.

A horse dealer hurried up when he saw Lin Mo coming to see the horse, and said, "Is Childe here to see the horse?"

Lin Mo nodded, and the rest of the horse dealers hurriedly surrounded him and began to recommend their horses: "Childe, look, my horse is fat and strong, and it looks like a high-grade horse when I walk with the wind, and if I want to buy it, I will have no chance to save it." Lin Mo looked at a horse that was injured by a forward kick and was a little lame.

Lin Mo smiled: "Your horse seems to have inconvenient legs, and you broke your feet on the night road last night?" Seeing that Lin Mo saw the problem at a glance, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and another horse dealer led his horse forward and said, "Childe, my horse ......"

"I'm afraid your horse is a grandfather in Mali, so you let him have a good old age, don't toss him." Lin Mo laughed.

The horse dealer was also a little embarrassed, Lin Mo looked at everyone, and asked suspiciously: "I remember that although they were all inferior horses in the past, they were still somewhat improvised, why are they all old, weak, sick and disabled now."

A few horse dealers didn't hide it, and when they saw that Lin Mo didn't seem to be a wicked person, they chatted with Lin Mo. A horse dealer said: "This horse is in demand, naturally scarce, but recently, for some reason, the horses that are a little passable have been bought, and some good horses have been booked by others before we have even seen them." So only these second-time horses remained. ”

Another horse dealer said, "I've heard that some of the bandits are starting to pay attention to their horses. The horse farm horse teams in Yunzhou and nearby state capitals have been captured by bandits and strongmen several times, not only robbing money and killing people, but also robbing horses, so there are really not many good horses on the market now. Lin Mo listened and nodded, it seems that these people are not lying, there are really no good horses, and in the end Lin Mo picked a lame horse that is quite strong, after all, it is used to pull carts and not to go to the battlefield to fight, as long as it can run and carry it.

But even if it's not a good horse, it costs eight taels of silver, which really hurts Lin Mo's flesh. When Lin Mo led the horse back, he happened to meet Zhao En helping Sun Yunxi's shop, so Lin Mo gave the horse to Liu Kui, and told Sun Yunxi that he could take the car back when he went back in the evening, and Lin Mo left in Sun Yunxi's grateful.

After a few days like this, Lin Mo would look around every day, in fact, most of the things were handed over to Zhao En and Liu Kui, and he would just point a few fingers at most, and look at the account books at the end of the month.

Lin Mo walked on the street and looked at the bustling streets, looked at the shops in the market, and thought that it was actually good for him to go this far, and there was not much need to go further and work hard, thinking of this, Lin Mo stretched his waist and prepared to go back to sleep again. Just as Lin Mo raised his foot and was about to leave, a familiar voice stopped Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect it

Meet you here. Lin Mo turned around and saw that it was Zhao Zhutou with a few servants after his death, Zhao Zhutou looked at Lin Mo with a smile on his face, and there was still a trace of tiredness on his face. Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Zhao Zhutou hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Zhao Pu smiled: "Haha, I don't have anything, but you are different now, you have become the head of the case, even Lord Fu Yin has invited you to the banquet, it is really Shibei who has been impressed for three days." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "It's all a fluke, I just met today, let's go, let's go and have a cup together."
