Chapter 1258: Borrowing a Donkey (Page 1/1)

The burden that Shi Yuan brought back was not big, and it was not heavy. As for what's inside...... But it's straw. That's why he said this to Old Man Kong.

And Old Man Kong didn't care when he heard it, so he nodded, "Hmm! Let's go! With that, he turned and went into the house, and walked out with his baggage.

Old man Kong's wife told him for a long time without worry, and then the two of them left the courtyard and headed in the direction of Chongzhou City.

More than 20 miles, in fact, it is not far to ride a horse, but horses are not raised by anyone, in this small village, let alone horses, if anyone can have a big livestock, it is already very good!

However, Shi Yuan didn't know any of this, or he knew, but he always had a little thought in his heart, so he asked Old Man Kong: "I said Uncle Kong, we ...... Is this going to be walked? ”

When Old Man Kong heard his question, he couldn't help but be happy, and replied angrily: "Otherwise? You don't want to carry you in a sedan chair, do you? ”

"Not really. I mean, there's no substitute for the feet, it's a long way, and I'm worried that we won't be able to catch up. Afraid that Old Man Kong would think that he had some "young master disease", Shi Yuan hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, Old Man Kong didn't say much, took two steps forward, and then said: "There is a donkey cart in our village, but this seed is not very easy to talk about, if you want to substitute for the foot, you can ask, but if you are willing to ......borrow it, you can borrow it."

Donkey carts? Donkey Shi had seen it from afar, but as for what this donkey cart looked like, he really didn't have any idea. But...... I guess it's not much different from a carriage, right? Although not as fast as a carriage, having is always better than nothing...... Thinking so, he interrupted Old Man Kong: "Uncle Kong, let's go and have a look!" If I pay for it, he's always willing to borrow it, right? ”

Old man Kong was actually waiting for Shi Yuan's words! There was a donkey cart to sit on, and of course he would like to. But if he pays for a car, he has to think about it. Now that Shi Yuan has paid for it, of course he will be very happy.

This one is called Seed Roll, and he is about the same age as Old Man Kong. However, his wife died early, and he lived alone in a thatched hut at the back of the village. There is also a yard, which is about the same size as the yard of Old Man Kong's house, but because there is no one to clean it up, the yard looks a little messy.

Shi Yuan hadn't entered the courtyard yet, when he heard the sound of a donkey barking from the courtyard. followed Old Man Kong into the courtyard, looking at the donkey in front of him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Can this little donkey really pull the two of them? And this donkey cart is also far from what he imagined, and it is even more different from the horse-drawn cart...... In a word, that's how cold it is.

Seed Roll should value this donkey very much, and at this time, when he had just finished eating, he was helping the donkey to smooth his hair. Hearing that someone had entered the yard, he didn't look back, and Old Man Kong greeted him first: "Seeds, have you eaten them?" ”

What does seed roll means Shi Yuan doesn't know, but it shouldn't be a good name. But I should have gotten used to it, and when I heard Old Man Kong telling the seeds to roll, the other party was not angry. But he still didn't look back, continued to be busy with the work in his hands, and replied without looking back: "Old Kongtou, why didn't you go to the field?" ”

"Go! I went in the morning, I didn't come back for dinner, I wanted to go to the city, so I came to borrow your donkey cart to try. "Old man Kong, let's tell the purpose of this trip.

And when he heard that Old Man Kong had come to borrow a donkey cart, and the seeds had not turned back from beginning to end, he immediately stopped what he was doing. Turning around, he looked at Old Man Kong, and only then did he see Shi Yuan......

He should have said something to Old Man Kong, but after seeing Shi Yuan, he changed his words again: "Old Man Kong, who is this guy...... Your relatives? ”

"It's not! What other relatives are there in my house! He was picked up by me in the field, and the scholar, said that he had fled from the south and was going to Chongzhou City to join his relatives, so he came to borrow your donkey cart. Old man Kong didn't hide it, so he directly told Shi Yuan's identity.

And when Old Man Kong heard this, he immediately frowned: If it was a peaceful year, it would be nothing. But right now, there's a war! Nothing will happen, but it's always sensitive.

"Don't borrow!" Staring at Shi Yuan, frowning and thinking for a long time, this seed finally rejected Old Man Kong without hesitation.

"You are rolling seeds, ......" Of course Old Man Kong can think of the answer of rolling seeds, otherwise this "seeds rolling" is not in vain? muttered in his mouth, then pointed at Shi Yuan and said, "The young man didn't borrow you for nothing." ”

"Don't borrow money if you give it! You two, if my donkey is crushed, I can't do it! Walking away, it is not far, this army is in chaos, if the soldier pulls my donkey and eats meat, this trade will lose a lot. However, this seed seems to be rolling because of Shi Yuan's identity, although Old Man Kong said that it was not for nothing, he still refused.

"Gotcha! People don't want your white money, let's go! Old man Kong didn't say anything more, turned around, and deliberately said loudly to Shi Yuan, he was about to leave.

Of course, Shi Yuan knew that Old Man Kong wanted to capture him, but he didn't say much, and he followed Old Man Kong to the outside very cooperatively.

Silver is actually not the main currency in circulation in Daqing, and most of them are copper plates. That is, the rich son, or the merchant, or the money bank, will use silver. In such a small village, if there is a silver ingot, it is worth a lot. Generally, it is not spent, but kept for when a daughter marries or a son marries, and then it is taken out as a dowry or bride price......

The seeds are not called in vain, and when he heard Old Man Kong say "silver with white flowers", he immediately moved his mind. Shi Yuan and Old Man Kong hadn't walked a few steps when they turned around, and he opened his mouth to stop Old Man Kong, "Old Kongtou, don't worry!" I'm not one of those hard people to talk to......" That's when I started to talk softly.

"You're not hard to speak? What's the matter, to borrow or not to borrow? Old man Kong glanced at Shi Yuan, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and then his face straightened, and he looked back at the seeds.

The seeds rolled and smiled, and then there was a look of righteousness and awe. looked at Shi Yuan: "The son-in-law fled and came, and he is a scholar, so we can't always wait slowly." It's just that...... I just pointed to this donkey and lived......"

At this point, the meaning is already obvious. Shi Yuan was amused in his heart, so he took out the ingot of silver on his body—this silver was originally intended for Old Man Kong, but now it came in handy here.

As soon as the silver was taken out, the smile on the face of the seed roll became even more exciting......
