Chapter 356: Heartache
The horse obviously looked very weak, and he didn't know where the strange strength came from, and after a few desperate struggles, he took the wooden stake that tied the reins up by the roots, and rushed straight towards the direction where they were standing in Guanshan.
The owner of the horse was an old farmer with a swarthy face, who couldn't wait for business for a long time, and was squatting there smoking dry tobacco, not beware of his own horse suddenly going berserk, and rushing into the crowd vigorously.
Is this going to really hit someone?
The old farmer shouted a few times, and when he wanted to chase him, where would he be too late?
The people around him were already screaming in fright, and seeing the horse go straight to a tall man, the old farmer sighed in his heart, and sighed that it was over, and this time it was too much to smash the pot and sell iron...... Creak?
In the next moment, the old farmer's eyes widened in surprise.
How did it stop?
The horse stopped in front of Guan Shan and barked, neither high-pitched nor clear, but it gave people an indescribable feeling.
Guan Shan had returned to normal, he looked at the horse in front of him, and after a moment, stretched out his hand.
The horse was so dexterous that half of the horse's face rubbed against his palm.
The old farmer who caught up was surprised and delighted.
"This guest officer, didn't startle you, did he? You see, this horse of my family is quite close to you, or ......."
The old farmer was an honest man at first glance, and knew what his horse was like, and he couldn't say any words, and he stammered.
Guan Shan interrupted him and asked, "Where did you get this horse?" ”
The old farmer was a little panicked, how did this man know that the horse was not his?
He hurriedly waved his hand, "This horse is indeed not mine's, but it wasn't stolen by me." A few months ago, I went to the mountains to collect firewood, and I found it, and it seemed to have been bitten by something, and it was almost out of breath, so I took it home and gave it herbs...... It's like this when I pick it up, it's not that I treat it badly, obviously the injury is healed, feed it hay, and refuse to eat it after a few bites......"
Originally, I was quite happy to pick up a horse, but it turned out to be a sick seedling, and if I refused to eat, I couldn't grow meat, and naturally I couldn't work, and I had to get horse feed for it every day.
No, it took a few months, and the family was not happy and forced him to come out and sell it.
But how easy is it to sell? But anyone who has eyes knows that this horse can't be raised, and he has been squatting in the horse market for nearly half a month, and he hasn't asked anyone.
I didn't expect this horse to be spiritual, and I picked a master by myself.
I just don't know if this person will buy it......
Guan Shan looked at Ji Yu, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was clearly conveyed - buy.
Ji Yu looked at him, and then at the thin and dirty horse, and didn't know what to say.
The whole horse market was almost gone, and none of the horses entered his eyes, and he finally looked at the right eye, but he didn't even care about temperament, age, health status, and body structure proportions.
Not to mention Ma Xiang, not even the least energetic......
This horse is quite pitiful, but she can't spend a few dozen taels of silver to buy a sick horse and go back to the elderly, right?
She's really not rich enough to open a store in the future......
Ji Yu pulled Guan Shan aside and wanted to discuss it with him, but who knew that the horse also followed.
It looked at Guan Shan first, and then seemed to understand who was in charge, and then turned its head to Ji Yu.
Ji Yu turned her neck stiffly, trying to ignore the big eyes of the copper bell.
"I know that animals and people are very close to each other, but we also need to consider our own situation, right? This is an old horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it if I buy it back......"
"Ten years old."
What the? Ji Yu was stunned.
Guan Shan repeated: "It's ten years old this year, not old." ”
Ji Yu "......"
Maybe it's the seriousness in Guan Shan's eyes, or the staring of the horse every step of the way.
Ji Yu sighed and walked towards the old farmer.
"We bought the horse, you can make a price."
The old peasant was so happy that he didn't know what to do, hesitated and hesitated, and stretched out three fingers.
"Three, thirty taels, look ......"
Ji Yu couldn't believe her ears, "Thirty taels?!" ”
A horse that had been picked up and whose health was in poor condition dared to offer thirty.
She had taken a fancy to another jujube red horse who was young and strong and had shiny fur, and she only asked for thirty-five taels.
That's why she's too expensive.
The boss bit it to death and refused to lower the price, saying that if the horse was sold to the south, it would have to be sold for seventy or eighty taels. In addition, Guan Shan told her that some horses look tall and strong, but they are very cumbersome to ride...... In the end, the deal was not made.
The old peasant's face was flushed, and his hands kept rubbing his cigarette stick, obviously knowing that his lion had opened his mouth.
But my son used to do it in the horse farm, and said that this horse bone looks good, and if it is good, I am afraid it will be more than a few hundred taels.
Before coming, my son confessed, first reported thirty taels, and then went down a little bit.
"Girl, take a closer look, this horse skeleton has made many trips, although it looks a little ...... at the moment Maybe you can buy it back and raise it? That's a big bargain. ”
Ji Yu smiled, "Uncle, you can't settle accounts like this, if it's good, it's worth thirty taels and another story." What if you die? Will you return the money then? ”
"This, this ......"
Ji Yu turned her head and pulled up Guan Shan to leave.
The old farmer was in a hurry, and ran a few steps to stop her.
"Whew! I'll tell you the truth, I don't want to make any money, it's really ...... Since picking it up, the family has been tossing a lot. I have an old bone, not only to serve it to eat and drink, but also to go up the mountain every day to dig herbs and dress its wounds...... Alas, forget it, if you really want to buy it sincerely, just give it a price. ”
The son said that if you really can't fool people, you can sell it casually, if it is lower than this number, it is better to pull it back and slaughter it and eat horse meat.
The old farmer felt that this horse had spirituality, and did not want it to be slaughtered, and it was naturally best to sell it, so he did not dare to ask for more at the price.
This man has a good heart, no matter what his original intentions were, he did save the horse and put his energy into taking care of it.
Ji Yu was quite moved. But moving is moving, reason is reasonable, and money can't be spent indiscriminately.
Five...... Forget it, ten taels.
Although this price is too low for a horse, it is for a healthy horse.
Strictly speaking, this old farmer didn't lose too much, ten taels were picked up, not a loss.
She was about to speak, but Guan Shan took her hand first.
"Twenty taels." He said to the old farmer.
The old farmer was obviously a little surprised, and thought that it would be good to give a few taels.
He came back to his senses, and hurriedly stuffed the reins into Guan Shan's hand, "This horse is yours." ”
Guan Shan nodded, lowered his head and looked at Ji Yu, needless to say, it was for her to pay for it.
Ji Yu gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious?" ”
Guan Shan held her hand and took it, and said softly, "In the future, I will earn it back for you." ”
Earn it back? If you die, you'll be gone in half a year, how do you make money?
However, who made her promise that as long as he was her husband, all the conditions he proposed would be met?
Ji Yu endured vomiting blood, and took two silver ingots of ten taels from the diagonal bag and gave them to the old farmer.
The old farmer had never seen so much money in his life, and he felt that this horse was really worth saving!
When he walked away happily, Ji Yu checked the shoulder bag that was much lighter, and her heart hurt.
The hand broke free from Guan Shan's palm, and he said angrily, "Take your baby, let's go, uncle." ”
