Chapter 307: Farce at the entrance of the village
Seeing this, his subordinates nodded, stepped forward to lift the curtain of the car, and looked out of the car.
"Our donkey suddenly became like this after eating the grass you gave him! Don't shirk it! Today you say that you have to cure my donkey. ”
"And let him be cured? Didn't you just want him to cure your donkey, and in the end it caused your donkey to die? In my opinion, you should ask him for the money he begged for, and let him pay for your donkey! ”
"Yes, yes, or my neighbor is right, if you give me the donkey's money, I will pay ten taels of silver! If you can't get it today, don't even think about getting out of our village. ”
Ahead was a village very close to the county, and before Chen Mu could look out of the car, he heard this burst of human voices.
He frowned, and glanced over at his men. Seeing this, his subordinates hesitated and shook their heads, of course he knew Chen Mu's intentions.
Chen Mu was about to leave the carriage and go out to have a look, but the subordinate looked out of the carriage and then spoke.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's just a group of villagers arguing outside the car, let's bypass them later, I see that they seem to be arguing because of personal grievances, it seems that a young man poisoned the donkey of another villager's house."
At this, the subordinate frowned, looked at it carefully for a moment, and added.
"Besides, as I listened to what they said, the young man seemed to have accidentally poisoned the donkey in order to cure it."
"Hey, they still have doctors in this village who treat these livestock, I remember that in the first two years, most of the livestock in the homes of those farmers in our Great Xia chose to abandon the livestock if they were sick."
"Ye no one is worried about healing the livestock, could it be that this donkey is very important to that farmer?"
Chen Mu also raised his eyebrows when he heard his subordinates say this, he felt a little curious.
Before his men could come to their senses, he was the first to lift the curtain and jumped out of the carriage despite his men's obstruction.
Seeing this, Meng Qing immediately followed.
Seeing Chen Mu like this, his subordinates and the guards guarding the carriage immediately hurriedly followed, gathered around Chen Mu, and walked in the direction of those villagers with Chen Mu while looking around vigilantly.
Those villagers were arguing fiercely, but no one noticed the footsteps of Chen Mu and the others, and they stayed until they got closer.
Chen Mu also heard some of the villagers shouting loudly.
"It must be that he can't do it!"
"Can you endure it, what can you do to heal the livestock in our village? Although the grass you gave us was confiscated from a few cents, if the grass didn't work, we wouldn't blame you, after all, it didn't cost a few pennies. ”
"Our donkey was poisoned after eating that grass! This is definitely about you! ”
Some villagers said this aggressively.
And after he said this, another uneasy voice sounded in the crowd.
"No way, the grass I fed to your donkey was tried on other donkeys and horses, and they ate it all right, and it can heal your donkey."
"Your donkey didn't die suddenly because he ate the grass I gave him, most likely for other reasons, you don't want to blame me for this matter, in my opinion, you might as well go back and investigate."
"You donkey may have been bitten by a poisonous snake, or died for some other reason, but it has nothing to do with me."
When the young man said this, they were in an uproar.
An old man stood in the crowd and jumped to his feet angrily, he was the owner of the donkey, and he was also aggressive just now, wanting the young man in front of him to take out ten taels of silver to compensate him.
He raised his hand to wipe his face, and said with tears in his eyes.
"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? Don't continue to use strong words, our donkey suddenly died, you are behind the ghost. ”
"Hurry up and pay me the ten taels of silver! There can't be any poisonous snakes around our village! We are not the only ones in the village who raise donkeys and horses! ”
"If there are poisonous snakes around the village that hurt donkeys or horses, then how can it be that only our donkeys are injured?"
"From the time I bought the grass from you to the time I fed the donkey, until now the donkey is dying, and only a stick of incense has passed, and our donkey has not eaten anything else during this time."
"If this has nothing to do with you, you can tell me how he died? Give me the ten taels of silver, for the woman is the hope of our whole family, and we will plough the land by the donkey, and we hope that the donkey will be raised and sold. ”
"Now that this donkey is dying, what are you going to do with us? This donkey died in an unknown way, and even if we wanted to sell it, no one would accept it! ”
When the old man said this, he raised his hand and pointed to a young man in plain clothes standing in front of him.
"If you don't take out the ten taels of silver today, I won't let you out of the village!"
After saying this, the old man turned his head and waved his hand behind him, and the next moment, countless villagers rushed up and surrounded the young man.
The young man looked at the thin and small, dressed in plain clothes, with some mud on his hands, and looked quite helpless, he was surrounded by so many villagers, and he was immediately frightened, and retreated again and again.
"Ten taels of silver...... Where shall I get ten taels of silver? I do this business in your village, and I can only earn two or three taels a year. ”
"Although my family still has land, it is ...... But even so, this year's harvest was only seven or eight taels of silver. ”
"If you let me take ten taels of silver, then our family's harvest for a year will not be put into it, you can't be so unreasonable, your donkey really didn't eat the herbs I gave and then suddenly died."
"I have also healed many donkeys or horses in your village, and their owners can prove that there is no problem with the medicine I gave, by the way, Uncle Mo, it just so happens that you are here! Talk to them! There's really nothing wrong with the grass I'm talking about! ”
As he spoke, the young man looked up in confusion and saw an acquaintance in the crowd, and the young man stepped forward, grabbed the sleeve of one of them, and said so.
The man frowned when he saw the young man pounce in front of him, he turned his head to glance at the old man, then gritted his teeth, broke free from the young man's movements, and shook his head silently.
"You did give my horse a similar herb at that time, but I saw that the color of the herb and the size of the leaves were different."
"Maybe the herbs you gave my horse at that time were not the herbs you gave to Zhao Laohan's donkey."
