Feeling that the mule had been following him, Lingbao stopped, turned his head angrily and said, "I said you should stop following me!" ”

"Boom...... ......"

"I don't have the money to buy you, if you follow me again, I'll beat you!" Xiao Lingbao raised his small fist.

Looking at the mule and the little milk baby, Zhao Erma, who always pulled the reins, was surprised: "What, what do you mean?" Little sister, can you understand this mule? This mule wants to follow you? ”

"No, how can you really understand it?" Shen Su'e explained with a smile, "Little doll, she still talks to chickens and ducklings at home." ”

"Oh, I thought it was ...... just now" Zhao Erma said this, and he also felt funny, "I'm also stupid, oops, I'm really scared of being tortured by this mule, it's also strange, why does it follow you?" ”

didn't want people to doubt, Shen Su'e said: "Don't you see that my daughter looks aura and smells good, and you like her?" ”

"Haha, auntie, your daughter is indeed beautiful."

After speaking, Zhao Erma hesitated for a while and asked, "What, since this mule likes your daughter, it can be regarded as fate, auntie, do you want to buy it?" This mule is a little stubborn, but it is easy to use, and it can carry people to grind. ”

The mule seemed to understand him, and screamed twice in excitement.

"Listen, it's a pleasure! Looks like it really likes your girl! ”

Zhao Erma was about to continue, Shen Su'e waved her hand, "No, no, what kind of mule do I buy as an ordinary farmer?" This thing was bought by the production team to work, and I can't afford to raise such an expensive thing. ”

"It's not expensive! Mules are easy to raise, just feed some grass every day. ”

Patting the mule on the head, he continued: "Besides, who said that only the production team buys mules?" In order to make it more convenient for many rural people to travel, they will also buy a mule to keep in the yard.

To put it mildly, if there is a person in the family who is seriously ill and needs to be sent to the health center, a mule cart in the hospital can come in handy! Right? ”

"That's right, of course it's convenient to have a mule cart, it's ......"

"What's that?" After Zhao Erma asked, seeing that Shen Su'e was still hesitant and did not speak, she guessed her concerns, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with this mule, but it is a little stubborn, and it is absolutely fine." ”

At this time, Tugen said, "Grandma, will you buy it?" If there are mules, we can come to the market whenever we want! ”

Shen Su'e patted her grandson's head, "Do you have the money to buy it?" Do you know how much a mule costs? I can't afford to buy a mule even if I sell you. ”

"Uncle, is this mule expensive?" Tugen tilted his little head and asked Zhao Erma, "Can you sell it to us cheaper?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just twenty yuan, grit your teeth and buy it."

"Ouch, twenty yuan is not expensive?" Shen Su'e said, "I only pay a few cents for a carriage to the market, and twenty yuan can take hundreds of thousands of trips." ”

"No, auntie, you can't count it like that......"

Without waiting for him to continue, Shen Su'e said impatiently: "Okay, you quickly pull it away, don't let it follow us, I don't have that much money to buy it." ”

Xiao Lingbao echoed his mother's words, "Yes, yes, pull it away!" ”

"I want to pull it away, too, isn't it impossible to pull it?"

Zhao Ermazheng didn't know what to do, when Captain Wang of their town's production team came, "What's the situation?" Ermazi? ”

"Yikes! Captain Wang, you are here, this mule refuses to go, and he kicked me crazy before, and my back still hurts badly. ”

"Why don't you want to go?" Captain Wang frowned, pulled the reins first, and after finding that the mule was unwilling to go, he asked the others to help pull it together.

The mule seemed to be enraged, and it hissed sharply, shook its head a few times, and then jumped wildly, and in a few moments it kicked three men with its four legs, and tried to step on them.

"Yikes! Hurry up and pull people away. No one dared to pull the mule anymore, so he hurriedly dragged the man who was rolling on his stomach to the side.

rescued people in a thrilling way, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Captain Wang asked, "What's the matter?" Although this mule used to be a little stubborn, it didn't hurt anyone, why did it suddenly become so manic? Crazy? ”

"I—I don't know, but all of a sudden......"

The man who saw the mule go crazy said, "Yo! No one dared to buy this crazy and uncontrolled mule, and I guess it would have to be sold as meat. ”

"Who would buy mule meat to eat? Give me food, I won't eat it. ”

"Also, it is said that stinky horse meat is fragrant and donkey meat, and I would rather die than eat mule meat, it is too unlucky to eat this mule meat!" Many people in the market stood aside and said.

Tugen listened to what the adults said, and asked his aunt, "Auntie, why do they say that eating mule meat is unlucky?" ”

Lingbao shook his head, "I don't know, why?" ”

Her mother explained in a whisper, "Because mules cannot reproduce, rural people are superstitious and think that eating mule meat is unknown, so almost no one will buy mule meat to eat." ”

After listening to his mother's words, Lingbao suddenly felt that the mule was a little pitiful, "If everyone doesn't want it, what will it do?" ”

"I'm going to be killed."

"Or," Lingbao said, hesitantly pursing his lips, "We bought it, right?" It's all because of Lingbao that it's like this. ”

Shen Su'e was stunned, "Huh? Also, okay, then I'll talk about bargaining. ”

After whispering, she said to the worried Captain Wang and his party, "Hey! Are you still selling your mules? ”

Captain Wang looked at her in surprise, "Auntie, you want to buy it?" ”

"yes, how much are you going to sell it for?" After speaking, she pointed at Zhao Erma, "Just now he offered twenty yuan, it's too expensive!" I don't have that much money. ”

The others kindly persuaded him: "Sister, don't buy this mule, if it goes on the road, it will suddenly go crazy, it's not a joke." ”

"Yes, yes, the mule that has gone crazy can only be slaughtered!"

Shen Su'e said: "I also want to buy a mule to travel, it will be easier to go out in the future, besides, this mule is not necessarily crazy, and it will be raised for a few days, and when I am acquainted, my temperament will be docile." ”

After listening to her, Captain Wang frowned and thought about it, "Auntie, I don't want to pit you, to tell you the truth, this mule has gone crazy, it is indeed a bit of a problem, but if you really want to buy it, I will sell it to you cheaply, eight yuan, what's the matter?" ”

Worried that she was too expensive, he said, "I'll give you another board car!" ”

"Eight yuan, and give me a board car? It's true? ”

"That's right! Our production brigade is in town, and if you're willing to pay for this mule, I'll help you get the cart loaded. ”

Shen Su'e felt that this deal was a good deal, "It's done!" ”

Half an hour later, Captain Wang really asked people to drag the cart to the market and put a rope on the mule, "This is a mule cart!" ”

Tugen ran and jumped around the mule cart, "Wow! Great, we have a car! Hahaha, grandma, can we take the mule cart home later? ”

When he laughed, his grandmother paid Captain Wang the money.

After paying, Shen Su'e carried her daughter and grandson to the car, and pulled the mule in the direction of the bun shop, "Yes, it is indeed much more convenient to have a mule cart!" I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives later, let's see what big things we want to buy, Lingbao, didn't you say you want to buy a basin to wash your face? I'll buy it for you later. ”

The person who was kicked by the mule covered his stomach, "Captain Wang, why is this mule so well-behaved?" Just now, he was motionless, refusing to leave. ”

Captain Wang shook his head, "Hey, who knows? No matter what, it's a solution to the problem, and we can't buy mules cheaply anymore in the future! ”
