Chapter Forty-Seven: Slaughtering Dogs

Ying Ke wrinkled his nose and said angrily; "My own horse is like this, even if I kill and eat meat, it's none of your business." This red horse was given to her by her father, and it was naturally an unusual horse and a leader among horses, but she didn't think it was so rare to win.

The man sighed and closed his eyes with a gloomy expression, as if the words of victory were intolerable to heaven and earth, and the anger of people and gods. Win Ke only felt speechless, and his eyes widened angrily, wondering if this person really had nerves.

Then the man opened his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said, "I also have ten acres of fertile land in my house, a mansion, and two slaves and maids, and they can be worth a few ingots of gold when they are sold, so sell the horse to me." ”

Win can see that he is simply unreasonable, and he can't help but be furious, and said viciously; "If you say you don't sell it, don't sell it, don't sell it, if you don't get out of the way for me, I'll do it." After speaking, he raised the horsewhip and was about to beat, but he felt his arm tighten, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Han Xin who grabbed her. Ying Ke let out another 'hum', rolled his eyes at the man, withdrew his horsewhip and pointed at Han Xin and said:

"This horse is his, if you want to buy it, just bother him, I don't care."

Han Xin saw that the man had no malicious intent, but was just a famous horse idiot, so he stopped Ying Ke. I also saw that he was in his early thirties, and although he was dressed simply, he was also dignified, not like an ordinary scoundrel in the market. He smiled and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"What is this big brother called?"

The man looked at Han Xin and said with a smile on his face; "My name is Xiahou Ying, I am a horse official in Pei County, this little brother, let's discuss, how about you sell this horse to me."

Han Xin let out an 'oh' and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xiahou." Well, we really can't sell this horse, so don't waste any more saliva, we don't lack money. ”

Xiahou Ying's face was full of disappointment, and her face was like a blank paper. His mouth opened, he moved slightly, and suddenly he remembered something, and said hurriedly; "Otherwise, I don't think this brother should be married, my wife at home is from a solid family in Pei County, beautiful and cold. This year is only nineteen, and the one who passed the door the year before last has not yet given birth, so how about giving it to your little brother as a concubine, as long as you are willing to sell this horse to me, little brother. ”

After speaking, Xiahou Ying looked at Han Xin nervously, only expecting him to nod.

Han Xin almost didn't catch his breath when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at this Xiahou baby with an incredible face, thinking that this guy's brain is fine, even if he likes horses, he doesn't need to exchange his wife. Could it be that he has a strong taste and likes the Beast series? SM?

"You're not mistaken, you can exchange a horse for your wife, and your wife is too cheap."

Xiahou Ying had a natural expression, and she said with a heartfelt voice; "Women, it's like clothes, it's a big deal to renew a room in the future. This is a wonderful horse, I have never seen such a good horse in my life. If I don't get it, alas, I won't be able to eat and sleep at night, so what's the point of living? ”

Han Xin was thundered by his words, thinking that this person's 'two' was not ordinary, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he said angrily, "I don't dare to be interested in your wife, we really don't sell this horse, you hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise don't blame the master for being polite." After speaking, he pulled out the fish intestines and pulled a few sword flowers.

He saw that this Xiahou Ying was so obsessed with this horse, and he was afraid that if he didn't get it, he would be afraid to do evil, so he first showed his swordsmanship to give him a preventive shot.

Xiahou Ying's face was full of sadness and disappointment, just staring at the horse, his eyes were motionless, and he reluctantly looked away for a long time, squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes, and begged Han Xin again; "Let's make a discussion, if you really don't want to sell me, then can you go to a place with me. I have a brother who grew up with a good horse and always boasts that his horse is the best in the world. I made a bet with him that there were more horses in the world that were better than him, but Peixian was too small to have a chance to see them. ”

"This little brother and this girl, can you help me with this little favor, even if I can't get this horse, I can raise my eyebrows in front of my brother, please, please." After speaking, Xiahou Ying kept making a move there, one time to Han Xin, and another time to win.

Han Xin's face was a little embarrassed, he saw that this Xiahou Ying was so stupid, and he was somewhat moved by his persistence. Seeing his sincerity again, there should be no deception. He hesitated and nodded.

"Okay, then we'll go with you, it's not a long way, right?"

Seeing Han Xin nodding in agreement, Xiahou Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly said; "Not far away, in the Land Temple five miles away, my brothers are preparing lunch, and the two of them can go to eat together."

After speaking, he didn't wait for the two to reply, and tightly grabbed the reins of Yingke's mount and pulled the horse forward, for fear that the two would regret it. Han Xin and Ying Ke looked at each other and smiled, so they had to lead their horses and follow.

The land temple was really not far away, and after following Xiahou Ying for a while, he saw it. From a distance, I saw the smoke rising inside, and when I got closer, another strange fragrance wafted out. Han Xin was already a little hungry, and asked again This dog meat is fragrant, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and sped up his steps to keep up with Xiahou Ying.

The land temple was extremely dilapidated, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time, and there was not even a wooden door, so Xiahou Ying led the horse directly and walked in.

It's quite spacious inside, and there are four people in sight. A strong man with a meaty face was bare-chested, sweating profusely with the big pot of soup on the fire, and a tall red-faced man next to him was busy cutting the bloody and skinned dog on the ground into pieces of dog meat with a knife in his hand, and handed it to the strong man to put in the pot.

When the red-faced man saw Xiahou Ying walk in, he put down the knife and smiled; "Brother, it's really time for you to come, the eldest brother beat a fat dog in Dongzhuang, and today we can taste the craftsmanship of butchers again."

There were also two men sitting in the middle of the temple, talking about things. One is dressed as a middle-aged scribe, with clear cheeks and a peaceful temperament, quite an elderly style. Although he was dressed plainly, he was very neat, and he stood far away with his back to the cooking pot, as if he didn't like it.

The other was forty years old, sitting on the ground and listening absentmindedly to the scribe, his eyes glancing at the cooking pot from time to time, his throat moving slightly and swallowing his saliva. Seeing Xiahou Ying walking in with a horse, followed by a man, a woman and a horse, he felt a little strange in his heart, so he stood up and asked; "Xiahou Ying, what the hell are you doing, let you get some ingredients to turn out that you have been gone for so long." glanced at Han Xin and Ying Ke, and asked again; "This boy and girl are ......."

Xiahou Ying hurriedly told the two about their encounter, and the red-faced man who was busy on the side immediately put down the knife and walked up with a face full of disbelief as soon as he heard Xiahou Ying's words. After circling around Ying Ke's horse for a long time, he carefully looked at the horse's mouth and hooves, and then said to Xiahou Ying in despair: "Damn, it turns out that there is really such a good horse, I thought you were just bragging." Okay, I, Zhou Bo, admit it today, and I am willing to lose the bet, and the one-year cleaning of the county Yali Marang belongs to me. ”

Xiahou Ying laughed proudly and said; "Say you have a bun, don't believe it, there are good horses everywhere in the world, and your horse is a ball. I'm convinced this time. I think you just mix with me to raise horses, anyway, I'm also a county official, much better than you playing suona for the dead everywhere. ”

Zhou Bo's family is poor, and he usually makes a living by blowing suona for other people's weddings and funerals, and he is not ridiculed by Xiahou Ying for a day or two, nor is he angry, but he just keeps his head stuffy and continues to cut dog meat.

Xiahou Ying's face was proud, and she only felt extremely comfortable, and she was naturally grateful to Han Xin and the others in her heart. Smiled and introduced the middle-aged man to the two, "This is our eldest brother Liu, he is the pavilion chief of our Pei County, and he is a well-known number one person in our Pei County." ”

The pavilion chief was a kind of patrol and servant set up in the county by the Qin Dynasty, and he invited people with some local prestige and strength to take on the role. Han Xin saw that although the middle-aged man was dressed in crude clothes and sloppy, with a frivolous and scoundrel face, he had a square forehead, a straight nose, and rounded eyes at the base of the mountain, which made people feel that his temperament was good at a glance. So I didn't despise him in my heart, and I bowed my hand and said hello to him with a smile.

The man laughed and patted Han Xin's shoulder affectionately, "The one who came is a brother, you and this little girl will stay and eat together, you must know that in Pei County, our butcher's dog meat is famous far and wide, and today you two will have a good time." ”

Han Xin has been in the market for many years, so he naturally knows the deliciousness of dog meat, so he is unwilling to thank the middle-aged man with a smile. When Ying Ke saw the bloody dog corpse, he only felt sick in his heart, but it could be seen that Han Xin was full of interest, so he didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man saw that Han Xin was also a free and easy person, and he was not embarrassed, so he smiled with satisfaction. He turned his head again and shouted at the cooking; "Tuzi, is the dog meat good, Lao Tzu is dying of hunger."

The big man asked in a rough voice; "It's coming, it's coming. What to urge, it's too slow for you Liu San to come by yourself. ”

The scribe who had not spoken on the side suddenly spoke: "I'll go home first, you guys use it slowly." Then he turned to the middle-aged man and said; Ah Ji, remember what I told you, this time the conscription is not trivial, you have to prepare well but don't be careless, Cao Shenna I have already said hello, tomorrow you can go to the county government to find him. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and said nonchalantly; "Then Lao Xiao, you will go slowly, knowing that you are not used to eating this kind of greasy thing, I will not keep you."

When the scribe walked away, Zhou Bo looked at the middle-aged man and said with envy; "Or our Brother Ji has the ability, you see, a person with such a great ability as Mr. Xiao is willing to make friends with Brother Ji, he is a dignified rafter."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his face was displeased, and said; "How many times have you said it, don't call me Liu Ji, call me Liu Bang."
