Chapter 280: Contradictions
Before dark, Zhang Chen and Lexi finally walked to the town where the crowd gathered.
The two of them found a fairly clean inn to live in, and asked the shopkeeper where there was a place to sell carriages.
Although there was still a day's journey to the capital before falling off the cliff, this place that Lexi took out of later had to go around in a big circle before he could go back.
"There is a cattle market in the west of the city, and every 55th, 15th, and 25th day of the first month, there will be a cattle market. At that time, there were more horses with good foot strength, but the price was also higher, usually only more cattle and sheep, and few horses. ”
Coincidentally, the next day was the fifth day of the new year, and after eating in the morning, Zhang Chen went there. Over the years he had bought more than one carriage, and although he did not always do it himself, he had gained a lot of experience, and soon picked a brown horse of four or five years old.
After telling the store to configure a suitable carriage for the horses as soon as possible, and agreeing to let them be sent to the inn the next day, Zhang Chen returned to the inn.
When Zhang Chen went out in the morning, Lexi hadn't gotten up yet, he told the guy at the inn, and when she went downstairs, tell her to let her wait in the inn. But before she entered the inn, Zhang Chen heard her movements.
"I said that you are really, obviously the person who broke your table just now, why do you keep holding on to me like this?"
"Girl, don't be embarrassed, if you hadn't stopped him just now, how could he have broken our tables and chairs in a fit of anger? If you don't pay the money, the shopkeeper will take me away. I have the old and the young, if I don't have this job, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind~ You should have pity on me! Xiao Er said with a bitter face, but the hand that grabbed her sleeve did not relax at all.
"I don't pay! It's not me who broke it, why should I pay for it! Lexi didn't give up, and he didn't understand Xiao Er's reason for holding on to himself. Just because the other party ran fast and didn't let him catch it, he was just a person who couldn't fight evenly, so he was going to suffer this loss?
When Zhang Chen went in, he saw such a scene. The shopkeeper and several innkeepers secretly hid in the corner and watched, a shopkeeper held on to Lexi tightly, for fear that she would run away, while Lexi frowned and put on a stinky face.
The lobby was littered with messy tables and chairs, some just lying there in a mess, some missing arms and legs, and some being split in half.
This is...... Lexi got into a fight?
After living together for so long, Zhang Chen only knows that she has a strong mouth, so it turns out that her fist and foot kung fu are not bad?
Seeing Zhang Chen enter the door, Xiao Er let go of Lexi, and he walked forward quickly, "Guest officer, you are back, you see, just now your companion was fighting with someone in our lobby and broke many tables and chairs, do you want to ......?"
"How much?" Zhang Chen didn't listen to him finish speaking, and asked directly.
"No, Ah Chen, we won't pay a tael of silver, obviously I didn't get it!" As soon as Lexi heard Zhang Chen say that he wanted compensation, he came over covering the injury on his arm, "That person almost broke my arm just now, how can we take the money to compensate for him?" ”
"Don't get excited, I'll tell you later." Zhang Chen comforted him, seeing her frowning, he knew that his arm was really hurting, "You sit there and wait for me for a while, and when the matter is settled, I will take you to Lang Zhong to have a look." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chen regretted that he had to pat his head, if it was about medical skills, who Lang Zhong's skills could compare to her? It's really confusing.
"No need for you! I will see my injury, you have nowhere to spend your money, and you are willing to be the wronged boss! Lexi couldn't help but be angry when she saw Zhang Chen's insistence on this, and after throwing off this sentence, she went upstairs angrily to the room, and the sound of her closing the door hard came from upstairs, so that everyone who heard it couldn't help but tremble. Hearing that this girl can still close the door so hard, her arm should be fine...... Right?
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly, although he didn't get along for a long time, he still knew something about her, and he thought that she was not wrong, and she would not take responsibility. The reason why she is so angry is not only that she thinks she is right, but also that she bows her head to others without asking the reason, and indirectly admits her mistake for her, right?
"How much do you think we need to compensate?" Xiao Er was also frightened by Lexi, and forgot to respond there, Zhang Chen had to ask again.
"Uh......" Xiao Er obviously didn't expect Zhang Chen to be so happy, he was stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look at the counter, and saw the shopkeeper secretly stretched out five fingers towards him, "Fifty taels......"
"Thirty taels, is there more?" Zhang Chen took out the silver ticket from his arms, "What is going on, I also heard a few words just now, it seems that it is not all my companion's fault, it is not a small amount to pay you these, right?" ”
Xiao Er's eyes glanced at the shopkeeper again, and saw that he nodded imperceptibly, and then took the silver ticket.
"Bring us food later, and then you won't come down to eat."
After saying this, Zhang Chen stepped upstairs, where there was still a gas bun waiting to be appeased.
"Lexi, you open the door, I have something to tell you." knocked a few times, but there was no movement inside, obviously the little girl was angry and planned to have a cold war with herself.
Thinking that every time she used this trick with her master, she would have to make the old man jump up and down in a hurry, and she would open her mouth to deal with him, Zhang Chen's scalp was a little numb.
He's really not good at coaxing people!
After waiting for a long time, and no one came out, Zhang Chen touched his nose and went back to his room.
It's better to wait until she's not so angry and come back by herself!
But before he could take a sip of tea, the door of his room was vigorously pushed open from the outside, and Le Xi stood there with a snort, looking at him as if he was looking at a traitor.
"You're here? Does your arm still hurt? Have you taken the medicine? ”
Lexi didn't enter the door either, he stood there without saying a word, just looked at him viciously.
"Uh...... What are you doing looking at me like this? Weird panic~"
"I'll see what a rich man looks like, and he will take the money when he asks him to take it, regardless of whether he should take the money or not." Lexi Yin Survey Tunnel.
"Hehe, isn't it a special jade tree in the wind?" Zhang Chen could only laugh dryly.
"No, Yushu Linfeng didn't feel it, but he looked obscene."
“……”
You're angry, and I'll just assume I didn't hear it.
Seeing Zhang Chen sitting there without saying a word and letting her taunt, Lexi suddenly lost interest, she came over and snatched the teacup from Zhang Chen's hand.
The two of them confronted each other with such big eyes, and after a long while, Zhang Chen was finally defeated.
"Let's talk about it! Why did you get into a fight after I was away for a while? ”
