Chapter 67: Referring to the muntjac as a horse
Zhuang Zhou did this every day, and when he went to the mountains at night to put rabbits and other small animals, he went to the river to hook fish, and came back to sleep very late. Before dawn he went to harvest the prey, and then took it to the market to sell. He has an income every day, he is penniless, and now, he has more than 2,000 Song money in his pocket.
More than 2,000 Song coins are equivalent to two taels of silver.
The vendors in the bazaar knew that he was a "little fool" and was willing to sell whatever he wanted. Every morning, the small traders blocked the door of the inn where Zhuang Zhou stayed, which was close to Zhuang Zhoutao. Ask to sell the prey to him, not to others, and they are willing to pay a high price.
Outcome! The traders were willing to pay a higher price than others, and Zhuang Zhou's "casual price" was sold at a high price.
This day! Zhuang Zhou unexpectedly lassoed a muntjac taller than him. He took the muntjac and ushered in onlookers all the way. Zhuang Zhou also looked proud, as if the general who had returned from victory was leading a horse and walking in the procession of welcoming him.
Today, he caught this muntjac taller than him, and it was really not easy.
This is an adult male muntjac with great strength. It saw that Zhuang Zhou was a child, and he didn't take Zhuang Zhou seriously at all. If it hadn't been for its feet clasped tightly, it would have knocked Zhuang Zhou over a long time ago. When Zhuang Zhou went over to lead it away, it hit it head-on. If it weren't for Zhuang Zhou's martial arts, he would have really been knocked over by it and stepped on by it.
Where did Zhuang Zhou obey this anger, he got up and pounced, hugged the neck of the male muntjac, and competed with the male muntjac. Outcome! There was a long stalemate before he knocked the muntjac down. Just like a steppe hero riding a horse, after repeated struggles, he was also tired and half dead, and only then did he subdue the male muntjac. The male muntjac did not resist and obediently followed him.
Where is this muntjac, this is simply a calf.
I heard that Zhuang Zhou caught a muntjac, and the whole town was a sensation. Almost everyone poured into the streets, looking at Zhuang Zhou.
Saw! The muntjac raised its head and was taller than Zhuang Zhou. The physique of the male muntjac is also stronger than Zhuang Zhou. Everyone saw it and had to take it. Even if they meet this male muntjac, I'm afraid? It's all a little helpless.
"Ahh Zhuang Zhou has a big income today! This muntjac has to pay at least 2,000 songs! ”
"Two thousand? Who sells? You don't know? Muntjac meat is a great tonic! Sell 5,000 at a loss! ”
"I tell you! With such a large muntjac, someone wants ten taels of silver! ”
"Who wants? Who can eat one meal? ”
"That's it! It is! If you can't eat fresh, it's not good to eat if you pickle it! ”
In the town, there were many idlers arguing about the matter. Some say it can be sold for ten taels of silver, some say it can be sold for five taels of silver. Some people say that they can sell it for two thousand songs, and some people say that it is worthless, saying that it is worthless if no one can afford it.
No one can afford it, and those who can afford it will desperately lower the price, and if he doesn't buy it, he won't be able to sell it.
While the crowd was arguing, one of them burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at him and asked him what he was laughing at. He said, "What am I laughing at? I laugh at this big duke muntjac is Zhuang Zhou's, how much can Zhuang Zhou buy when he sells it? You all surround him and don't buy it, and you say that he can't afford it, so he's in a hurry. ”
The man said, learning from Zhuang Zhou's tone and expression, waved his big hand, and said, "Whoever of you wants to take it away!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
On the street, the crowd gathered around the village.
Zhuang Zhou carried a burden on his back, and the burden contained the Mo family's double swords. At first, he was quite energetic, watching others smile proudly. When someone spoke loudly, he turned his head to look at the man, and smiled stupidly. Gradually! His strength was a little exhausted.
Before dawn he went to the mountains to harvest prey, and fought another battle with the muntjac. When I came back, I walked for a long time with the grinding male muntjac. Right now! He couldn't hold on a little anymore. He wanted someone to come forward and buy it sooner, so he sold it at any price. But! I've been waiting until now, and I'm asking the price to play, but no one wants to buy it.
He really couldn't stand still, so he leaned on the body of the male muntjac.
This male muntjac may be the king of the muntjac, where is he willing to give Zhuang Zhou a reliance? As soon as Zhuang Zhou leaned in, it moved its four feet to the side.
"Plop!"
Zhuang Zhou fell to the ground.
Seeing that the opportunity for revenge had come, the male muntjac moved his feet again and stood back in his original place. One of its feet stepped on Zhuang Zhou's body, intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhuang Zhou was excited and sobered up.
Just as the male muntjac stepped on him, he jumped and got out from under the male muntjac.
There was no danger, and the onlookers couldn't help but laugh again.
"You want revenge, aren't you?" Zhuang Zhou was slightly angry.
Saw! He grabbed the rope that was tied to the muntjac's neck and horns, jumped up like a horse, and rode onto the muntjac's back.
The spine of the male muntjac bent, and he took a few steps forward before he could stand firm.
The onlookers thought that the male muntjac was going to escape, so they were so frightened that they dodged to the side one by one.
"This is my Chisato foal!"
Zhuang Zhou rode on the back of the male muntjac, became proud again, and regained his spirits.
There was a commotion outside the crowd, and when the locals saw a group of people, they all automatically backed aside.
They saw it, and the precious son of the Lieutenant family came.
This is a master who can't be provoked, and he has found fault with him, and you will suffer in the future. Not only does this town belong to their family, but even how many miles of land within this radius are their family's private property. It is said that their ancestors defended the Song Dynasty and were enshrined here. His family is also responsible for guarding this checkpoint on the border with the State of Qi, and he still has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands.
Only those outsiders who don't know the depth don't know how to avoid it. But? Seeing that the other party was menacing, the locals avoided it, and they also stepped aside.
"Who? Who? Who? ”
A little boy of twelve or thirteen years old rushed over, stood in front of Zhuang Zhou's muntjac, and shouted.
"Who are you? You stole my horse, and you still sell it on the street? Get down! ”
Seeing Zhuang Zhou's innocent appearance and his appearance of not taking him seriously, the little boy didn't dare to do anything, and shouted first to strengthen his prestige.
"It's not a horse! It's muntjac! Zhuang Zhou corrected.
"Muntjac?" The little boy was dumbfounded. He didn't know if it was a muntjac or a deer or a horse? He thought it was a horse, another breed of horse.
"You can't even tell the difference between a muntjac and a horse?" Zhuang Zhou laughed. He sat on the back of the male muntjac and teased, "You call the muntjac a horse!" ”
"Come down! You come down for me! Where could the little boy stand Zhuang Zhou's teasing, took a step forward, and shouted. And then! Hold Zhuang Zhou's thigh and press down.
"Smack!"
Zhuang Zhou raised his hand to slap the other party.
"Are you unreasonable?"
"You dare to hit me?"
The little boy let go of his hands holding Zhuang Zhou's thighs and stood aside. looked at Zhuang Zhou in disbelief as he touched his face with his hand.
