Chapter 57: Good Idea

Regarding the buffalo, Su Lingyu told his family about it and told his family about its origin. Su Li believed in fate, believed that it had been found, and agreed to keep it.

So the Su family hid from the villagers, left the sick cow behind, and did their best to heal it.

The sky is dark, the birds return to their nests, and the peasants eat in the shade of the trees. The Su family quietly left the house and went to the mountain pass.

Su Lingyu took the sick cow covered in mud to the ditch, and Su Li jumped into the water and poured water on the buffalo with a bucket to wash away the mud on it.

Rinsing it away, as well as the rotten skin of the sick cow, Su Li took the straw handle and washed the sick cow.

Su Lingyu handed over the plaster, and Su Li drove her away and told her to go farther.

If there is a plague, she will die, and she will not pass it on to her grandchildren.

Tonight she was going to the wooden house on the mountain, the wooden house was full of excitement the day before, and she was going to spend the night tonight, and if there was anything, she would not go home. Lived in the mountains, died in the mountains, and did not have to stain the bed boards in the house.

Su Li Shi dug out the ointment and applied it to the cow, "Touch the ointment, you have to be fine, don't get sick." ”

"You were brought back by my son, although you profited, but it is not our family, and you will not survive. Grievances and hatred, that's it, if you want revenge, you can find me, an old woman. ”

Su Li said while smearing, "Although I don't know how you got sick, how you escaped. The person who adopted you must not be an ordinary family. If you have long skin, don't be blue. How beautiful the blue and black are. ”

Su Lingyu shook the bamboo branch to fetch water, and said with a smile: "You want to be beautiful, you want this cow, and you don't want to cause trouble." How can there be such a good thing in the world? The skin color is set at birth, but it's not something you can change if you want to. ”

Zhang Ming sacrificed the green cow and got the position of the city lord. The green ox must be offered along the way, and it must be dedicated to the emperor. If only the people who were on top would know that it is with us. They won't come to us for trouble? ”

Su Li gestured with his hand on his neck, "I don't care if I die alone, but you, who are only five years old, what a pity to die." ”

Su Li said again: "Since you can't change the color, let's send it away." It's better to send it back to Zhang Ming than to send it to be slaughtered. ”

It was still Su Li's comprehensive thinking, and Su Lingyu didn't think about it over there.

There are many ways to cover up the color of the green cow, but once someone finds out that the green cow is here, it will bring disaster to the Su family.

The Su family agreed on the matter of sending away the green cow.

While taking care of Qingniu, he wrote a letter to prepare to contact Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming is Kapok's uncle, I don't know what his mind is. I hope it's a good one, don't do evil things to the Su family.

That night, Su Li was accompanied by Ngawang and spent the night in the mountains. Seeing that his body was relaxed, his head was not hot and his eyes were not dizzy, Su Li knew that he was fine. Not infected with the plague.

It is often said that people are old and sleep young, but she slept well last night. I slept until dawn and was very comfortable.

This gave her greater confidence and made her more diligent in applying medicine to Qingniu.

Two days later, the light rain was falling, and the hairy egg ran into Su's house with a bag of crabs on top of the taro leaves.

Su Zhang took the scale and handed Mao Dan ten cents.

The aunt of the Su family is so gentle, and even the action of giving money is so gentle. Gave money and said thank you. It's funny.

Most of them are the people who send things, and they say thank you to the person who receives them, but the aunt of the Su family actually said thank you to him. The Su family's thank you is really easy to earn, just give them a little favor, and you can receive thanks.

It's really a scholar, and it's very polite. Well, Su San'er was also very polite and generous, and gave them a lot of food.

Mao Dan wiped the rain from his face and said, "I saw Uncle Su, they returned from Xikou Village and drove several large and small cows. ”

"But really?"

"It can't be fake. It's just that several people are driving the herd, and I'm afraid that the money will be inseparable. "Mao Dan is worried, "Six cows, five people, one cow per person, and one left." Even if the ox is slaughtered, it is not possible for one person to share the leg. ”

"Thank you Maodan, I'll take a look."

"Well, go ahead." Saying that, he took two steps out like an adult, walked out of the Su family's courtyard, and jumped up like a naughty boy and went home.

Su Lingyu walked out of the house, crossed the threshold, and said, "Dad came back with the cow, but he gave us a good opportunity to explain the origin of the green cow to outsiders. ”

The rain was annoying, and the peasants could not go out to work, so they had to stay at home, knitting farm tools or repairing shoes. When they heard that Su Chengqi had brought back a herd of cows, they all went out to take a look.

Looking at the big cows and calves in the herd, a few families were moved. Although a family can't afford to buy a cow, several families together can buy a cow.

Calves can grow, and big cows can plow the land. Those who have more money want to buy big cows, and those who have less money want to buy small calves. The cousins got together to discuss a few words, and they all went home to talk to the family, or asked Su Chengqi about the price.

Su Chengqi returned home, it was a happy day, the people in the village were curious about the herd, and they all came to take a look.

He was stumped by the villagers, who wanted to buy cattle, he wanted to sell cattle, and they asked each other, and everyone could negotiate the right price.

Before they could return to the pen, the cattle were ordered to be three. Su Chengqi was not in a hurry, and let them go home and discuss slowly.

Put the cattle in the cattle pen of the Su family, and Li Dan and the others separated from Su Chengqi.

The Su family gathered around the fire, listening to Su Chengqi while roasting the fire, and talked about the things outside.

Su Chengqi took out the silver bag from his arms, handed it to the lady and said, "Dawei is miserable this time, and three counties in a row have been affected by ground movements. The stones intercepted the river, and the water poured into the paddy fields, and the grouted rice was gone. After working for more than half a year, there was not a single harvest. The people are miserable! ”

"Landslides cracked, houses collapsed, and many people died. They sold us their ploughing cattle for their rations. We didn't dare to stay longer, and took the cattle all the way to collect and go all the way. Collect cattle in Dawei and sell cattle in Daliang. Su Chengqi baked away the moisture on his body.

Su Zhang opened the silver bag and exclaimed, "It's all broken silver? ”

"It's a lot of five taels." He said, "We can't do this kind of business a second time, because the local government can't control us because of the disaster." Once they are relieved, we will go back to the cattle trade, and we will not be caught and imprisoned. ”

Su Chengqi thought very clearly.

"It's just right for you to come home, and I have something to discuss with you." Saying that, Su Lingyu told him about Qingniu.

Su Chengqi was surprised, "It was taken away less than ten days after it was born, and it can still come back here, I have to say fate." In that case, leave it behind. Slather it up and change the complexion. ”

He didn't care about being tired, so he went to bring the green oxen back when it was dark and mixed them into the herd.

Dressed in a robe, he entered the eaves, took down the hat, took the ginger soup handed by the lady, and asked in a low voice: "San'er said that the cow is blue?" ”

"Could it be that it's not cyan?" Su Zhang turned his head as he said and looked at his mother-in-law.

Su Li asked, "Mistaken?" ”

"I don't know, it's just that I went to see it, it's no different from an ordinary buffalo, what kind of green cow it is."

That's weird!

Su Li lit the torch and went to see the buffalo overnight, only to see that it was much blue and black, and it was very inconspicuous when placed in the herd.
