127 Chasing the Wind and Shadows
"Hey, how do you sell these horses?" Wang Baoyu stepped forward and asked curiously.
A burly man with a stubby stature said in a thick northern accent: "These are all war horses, 100,000 baht each." ”
Damn, it's so expensive! Wang Baoyu was stunned for a while, 100,000 baht, that is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver, he almost regretted his intestines, he knew that this was the case, when he came, he shouldn't have let go of the horses of Fu Gongzi's group, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money by leaving two horses.
"That's what I want." Fan Jinqiang fell in love with a tall red horse and said firmly.
"This horse's name is chasing the wind, and I hope the guest officer will treat it well." The stubby man said.
Fan Jinqiang handed over the hundred taels of silver he had received without hesitation, Wang Baoyu felt a burst of contempt in his heart, it seemed that he would not worry about selling a high-priced car at any time.
The stubby man was overjoyed, and quickly accepted it with a smile on his face, and seemed to be generously gifted with a saddle and stirrups.
Fan Jinqiang turned over and got on the horse, walked around the yard, and with the help of the stubby man, he quickly mastered the essentials of horseback riding, and praised the good horse repeatedly!
Fan Jinqiang saw Wang Baoyu hesitating and said, "Brother, you can ride back on the same horse with your eldest brother." ”
"No, sooner or later you have to learn to ride a horse." Wang Baoyu waved his hand, still shuttling among these horses to check, and the thick smell of sweat on the horses made him sneeze.
"Boss, can this horse be cheaper?" Wang Baoyu pointed to a black horse and asked, this horse is more peculiar, it is pitch black, it looks very stocky, it is a little shorter than the other horses, and it stands motionless.
"Sixty thousand baht!"
"It's still so expensive to look like this?"
"This horse is also a war horse." The stubby man insisted.
"It's cheaper, you see that my brothers have one horse each, you can give an opening price!" Wang Baoyu said with a smile on his face.
"Fifty thousand baht! No less! The short and stubby man stretched out a slap and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll buy it." Wang Baoyu took out fifty taels of silver in pain.
One of the reasons why Wang Baoyu chose this horse is because the horse is short, he is relatively easy to go up, and he is not afraid of falling down and falling apart after going up, and this horse looks honest and may be easier to ride around. The most important thing is that it is also a horse that replaces the strength of the legs, why should it cost so much money?
"Brother, why don't we change?" Fan Jinqiang couldn't stand it, and pulled Wang Baoyu aside and said.
Wang Baoyu waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a vehicle, just this one!" ”
The stubby man was very happy, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, because this horse was too bad to sell, and it was not enough to kill and sell meat.
I met a rich man today, and the price of 50,000 baht was already 20,000 baht more than my psychological expectation, so the stubby man also generously gave a saddle horse pedal, which looked better than the one given to Fan Jinqiang.
"Does this horse have a name?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"This horse's name is Black Shadow." The stubby man made up a name improvly.
"Brother Dark Shadow, I'll leave it to you in the future." Wang Baoyu stepped forward and patted the horse's head and said politely.
The black shadow snorted, I don't know if it was in response to Wang Baoyu's words, so Wang Baoyu got on the horse with great difficulty, the stubby man was probably afraid of returning the goods, and took the trouble to give Wang Baoyu how to pull the reins and how to step on the stirrups.
After buying the horse, Wang Baoyu and the others ate something in the post station, and then rode on the road. Fan Jinqiang has feelings for the wheelbarrow, after all, he has been with him for a long time, hesitated again and again, couldn't bear to throw it down, or tied it to the horse.
The feeling of riding a horse on the road is different, the field of vision seems to be wider, and the whole person looks cooler, which makes people feel like they want to gallop the world.
Fan Jinqiang has a golden hoop stick on his back, straddles a chasing horse, full of majesty, completely changing shotguns, and has transformed from a coachman into a warrior.
The two of them rode side by side, but Wang Baoyu was a lot shorter than Fan Jinqiang, of course, the reason was that his black shadow horse was short, and he always held his horse's head high when he walked after the wind, which looked very arrogant, while the black shadow kept his head down, more like a silent child.
On the way, I encountered a small puddle, chasing the wind without traction, and took the initiative to go over to drink water, which seemed very spiritual. But the black shadow was indifferent, Wang Baoyu also motioned for it to rest and drink saliva, the black shadow seemed to not understand, just stuck out his tongue and lower his lips, and did not move, it seemed to be an imbecile.
Galloping horses and galloping thousands of miles is the dream of every man, Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang are no exception, and after walking for more than ten miles, Fan Jinqiang said: "Brother, can you let the horses run." ”
"You can give it a try." Wang Baoyu nodded.
"Chase the wind, move quickly!" Fan Jinqiang clamped the stirrup, and the wind-chasing horse under him was like an arrow off the string, rushing forward rapidly, raising dust all the way, which is really worthy of being called chasing the wind.
"Black Shadow, get up!" Wang Baoyu also clamped the stirrups, and the black shadow snorted again, took a rhythmic step, and ran slowly.
Boom drive, boom drive, Wang Baoyu is almost sleepy on horseback, and the black shadow still maintains this speed.
Alas, in the end, the bargain is not good, Wang Baoyu sighed, look, in just a few minutes, Fan Jinqiang rode a chasing horse, and he could only see a shadow in the distance.
Fan Jinqiang stopped the horse with a smile, waited until Wang Baoyu caught up, and said: "Brother, this horse's foot strength is still poor, try it first, and buy a good horse in the future." ”
"It's only like this, this horse is also stable, and you can keep it to pull goods and do rough work or something in the future." Wang Baoyu said self-deprecatingly, and touched the black shadow's horse neck very understandingly, but inadvertently touched a bulge, like a sarcoma.
Damn, it's still a disabled horse, such a big tumor, it has to be surgically removed, and it will burp when it develops into a malignant one! Wang Baoyu wants to cry without tears, these fifty taels of silver are a waste, how difficult it is to make money, I taught songs for half the night!
However, just when Wang Baoyu touched the bulge on the horse's neck, the black shadow suddenly raised the horse's head, his eyes shone brightly, and he let out a loud neighing from the sky.
"What's wrong, it hurts you. Don't worry, when I get back to Wollongong, I'll get you a veterinarian. Wang Baoyu comforted.
The black shadow shaved his hooves a few times, glanced back at Wang Baoyu, and took the initiative to run. Wang Baoyu pulled the reins, and at first he felt funny, but gradually he felt that something was wrong.
