Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Lives and One Horse
Xiao Chujiu turned over and sat up from the bed, "Liu Daxia, this, this is not good, if the master knows......"
The master immediately straightened his face, and without waiting for Xiao Chujiu to finish speaking, he interrupted: "Do you think I didn't see it, when you and your master came back from outside, you held your breath in your heart, and sooner or later you would go back to take revenge, right?" ”
Xiao Chujiu was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Liu Daxia, you, what you say...... We can't tell Master this, or he will scold us to death. ”
Xiao Chujiu said this, which was equivalent to admitting it, my grandfather smiled and said: "If I want to tell your master, can I persuade your master to stay in Guanli for another night, although Liu has not walked the rivers and lakes for many days, but he has not been bullied like this, he can't fight them in the open, let's fight in secret, like the livestock dealer you met today, it's too much, don't teach him a lesson, I can't swallow this breath, he can bully you today, he can bully others tomorrow, this kind of person, it's best to let him dare not bully people again for the rest of his life!" ”
"Yes, yes...... Xiao Chujiu nodded vigorously when he heard my grandfather say this, "Actually...... In fact...... Eleven, come out, don't hide. "It's a draft, and I probably won't be able to revise it tomorrow, and tomorrow I'm going on a long trip, and it may take two days to come back. Thank you for the 100 yuan red envelope "in the clouds".
As soon as Xiao Chujiu's voice fell, Xiao Shiyi actually got out from under the bed, and Xiao Chujiu said to my grandfather: "Actually...... After dinner, the two of us discussed it, and then went to the town, and who knows, just as I was about to go out, I saw you coming out of the room, and you came to my room, so I let Eleven drill under the bed, and I lay down in bed......"
When my grandfather heard this, he immediately laughed again, and Xiao Shiyi gestured to my grandfather at this time and said: I went to the master's house to see it, and he fell asleep holding the stone.
In the quiet of the night, the three of them went down the mountain and went straight to the town to the south.
The journey of more than 20 miles is only half an hour's work for the three of them.
Soon, the three of them got into the town and came to the door of the livestock dealer's house, Xiao Chujiu said, the livestock dealer's house has two yards, east and west, now this is the west courtyard, the human trafficker lives in it, next to it is the east courtyard, which is full of livestock sheds, several long-term workers who raise livestock live in it, there is a wall between the two yards, there is a door on the wall, before he and Eleven were in the west courtyard to give silver, and was led into the east courtyard by a long-term worker.
After hearing this, the master nodded, and told the brothers to wait outside, and he climbed over the courtyard wall by himself, and then jumped into the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and the brothers walked into the courtyard gate quickly.
At this time, I don't know where a big dog came out, the dog didn't make a sound at all, pounced and bitten, fortunately, the master was quick and kicked out, and I don't know where the big dog was kicked, the big dog didn't even make a sound, and it didn't move when it fell to the ground.
The master snorted coldly, "It's really a dog with the owner, and he doesn't say a word." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi saw this, and pulled out all the guys on their bodies, and my grandfather waved his hand at the two of them, and then pulled out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from his own waist, and shook the sword in front of the two dogs, and the two dogs suddenly "squeaked" and ran away with their tails.
My grandfather immediately inserted the Liangyi Yin Yang Sword back into his waist, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi were not surprised when they saw this, because my grandfather's sword had even killed the dragon lord in the Yellow River.
The west courtyard of the livestock dealer was originally divided into two courtyards, the front one was a front hall, which was used to receive guests, and the back bedroom, the family members of the livestock dealers were in the backyard.
The three of them went around the antechamber and came to the backyard, where there were three kinds of houses, one in the middle and one on each side, so that one could see at a glance that the middle one was the main room, and the cattle dealer must be in it.
At this time, the whole yard was dark and quiet, and the two frightened dogs did not know that the cat had reached that corner.
The three of them went straight to the main room in the middle, and when they came to the door, the grandfather raised his hand and pushed the door, and the latch was inserted upside down from the door.
There are two forms of door latches in the past, one is inserted, and the other is attached, the master took out the Liangyi Yin and Yang Sword from the words, stretched it through the crack of the door, picked the door latch with the blade, and gently picked it upward, the door latch did not move, and the inside understood, the door latch was not attached, and then pulled the door door, and gently knocked it into the latch with the blade, and did not latch the door little by little.
After saying goodbye several times, the latch was pinned out, and the master gently pushed the door open, and the three of them entered the room like ghosts.
The house has no inner room, and there is a central hall, a round table, and two chairs, and in the corner of the wall next to it, there is a bed, and there is a bed tent on the bed.
The three of them came to the bed with bated breath, opened the bed tent to take a look, and faintly saw two people lying inside, and the master immediately instructed Xiao Chujiu to find the candles in the room and light the candles.
Xiao Chujiu said, don't they see us when they light candles?
The master said that the Ming people don't do dark things, they just let them see!
Xiao Chujiu was helpless, found a candle next to the bed, lit the candle, and looked into the bed tent with the candle, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi nodded at my grandfather at the same time, it was the livestock dealer during the day!
I saw a man and a woman lying in the bed tent, the man looked about forty years old, and the woman was in her early twenties.
The woman's consciousness was shallow, and she woke up immediately, and there was an exclamation of "ah". The woman's cry woke up the man next to her, and she scolded in a daze: "What is it called, what the hell ......"
The voice fell, and the man suddenly became excited, "You, you ......"
The grandfather sat on the chair and lifted one foot to the edge of the bed, "Don't be afraid, we're here to buy horses." ”
"You ...... You ......" The livestock dealer looked at Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, almost speechless, and the woman in the bed was already so frightened that she got into the bed and trembled.
"What do you want to do?" After holding back for a long time, the livestock dealer finally said a word.
My grandfather smiled kindly, "Didn't I say it, we're here to buy horses." ”
The cattle dealer immediately looked at my grandfather, "Who are you?" ”
My grandfather still smiled, "We are strangers, passing by your place, we lost our horses a few days ago, so we wanted to buy a few horses." ”
When the cattle dealer saw that my grandfather was smiling kindly, he was not so frightened, and said, "If you want to buy a horse, come back tomorrow, and I will give you the best horse." ”
When the master heard this, he pouted and said, "But we want it now, so please get up and go to the stables with us and pick the three best horses." ”
The livestock dealer looked at my grandfather, and then at Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi next to my grandfather, his eyes rolled, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”
The cattle dealer quickly put on his clothes and took my grandfather and them to the east courtyard, and when they arrived at the east courtyard, they did not go to the stable, but went straight to a room next to the stable, and when they arrived at the door of the house, the cattle dealer said to my grandfather, "The best horses are inside." ”
The master waved his hand at him, and the cattle dealer pushed the door open, and when he pushed it open, the cattle dealer shouted: "You don't hurry up, there are gangsters breaking in!" After shouting, he ran a few steps into the house, and suddenly, a cry came out of the dark room: "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”
Suddenly, the oil lamp was turned on, and I saw that there were several beds in the house, and there was a man lying on each bed, and at this time, the cattle dealer was cating in the innermost part of the beds, and these people on the beds, seeing my wife and the three of them, got off the bed one after another, and they did not even have time to put on their shoes.
"Who are you, dare to trespass on people's houses!"
This is the residence of several long-term workers who feed horses, Xiao Shiyi signaled to my grandfather, the long-term worker who spoke was the one who took them to see the lame mules during the day.
The master glanced at these people in the house and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, everyone, we are just here to buy horses." ”
"In the middle of the night, did you come to buy horses like this? Brothers, grab them and send them to the official! "This long-term worker is quite horizontal, and when the other long-term workers heard the words, they were going to come over to my grandfather and the three of them.
The master was not in a hurry at this time, and said: "Don't worry, we are indeed here to buy horses, if you don't believe it, I will take out the silver and show it to you." ”
"As for the silver, take it out and I'll take a look." The livestock dealer said.
My grandfather immediately raised his hand and pointed out the cattle dealers one by one, counting in his mouth, "one, two, three, four......" After counting, the grandfather nodded, "Okay, there are six of you in total, two people have one horse, just three horses, go and bring the horses." ”
"What!" The cattle dealers screamed.
The master smiled and said, "Don't you understand? I want to say it again, two lives and one horse, and you will exchange your six lives for three horses. ”
The cattle dealer suddenly shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you arrest them quickly?" ”
Several long-term workers suddenly rushed up, and the grandfather hurriedly signaled Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi to retreat, the grandfather stood in place and didn't move at all, one punch, one kick, really three punches and two feet, and the five long-term workers all couldn't get up on the ground.
When the cattle dealer saw this, his face immediately turned green, his legs went limp, and he sat down on a bed beside him.
The master walked over to him slowly, and asked the cattle dealer with a kind face, "Boss, two lives for a horse, you think this business is still cost-effective, right?" ”
The livestock dealer was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and the grandfather's eyes lowered, and he actually peed his pants in this nest of goods.
"Whether it's worth it or not, you can say something."
"Row, Row, Row......"
The master smiled, "It's good to be a good deal." Then he said to one of the foremen on the ground: "Don't lie down and pretend to be dead, I have shown mercy to your men, get up and take my friends, and lead the three best horses." ”
This Changgong is the one who took Xiao Chujiu and the two brothers to see the mule before, and the Changgong stood up from the ground tremblingly, didn't even dare to look at my grandfather, drooped his head, and led Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi out. He was like a dog with his tail between his legs.
The grandfather turned to look at the livestock dealer again, and the grandfather said kindly: "In the past, my grandfather often taught me, learning endlessly, growing up, learning to be old, and later, when I grew up, I found that some people don't have a long memory when they live to be old...... "As he spoke, the grandfather raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the livestock dealer, "In the future, don't bully people anymore, I'll give you a longer memory......
After speaking, the grandfather's face changed, raised a hand, and slashed at the arm of the livestock dealer, who suddenly screamed miserably and broke his arm......
