Chapter 1009: Sweat and Blood
Spring, green, fat, red and thin. In the evening, Lin Liu walked on the country road and recited the "Late Spring" by a local poet of the Song Dynasty:
Splashing water through the sand,
The forest leaves are not as deep as crows.
I don't know if I hate the spring,
Pick up the remaining flowers diligently.
Suddenly, a red flower fell on Lin Liu's shoulder, like a butterfly with wings ready to fly. Lin Liu held the safflower between his two fingers and put it in front of his eyes to admire it carefully, feeling that time passed quickly, and he was like duckweed with nothing to rely on. Lonely she didn't want to find a good man who loved her to spend time with, but her former husband gave her too much sadness, she was even afraid of marriage, although her mother-in-law repeatedly urged her to remarry, she prevaricated on the grounds that she didn't find a suitable one. During this time, many single men proposed to her in various ways, but she refused. How to make waves in a peaceful life? Lin Liu thought while walking.
Walking into an orchard, Lin Liu heard a horse neighing. The old man who was watching the orchard came out and shouted, "Boss, please stay, please stay." ”
Lin Liu looked up and saw the old man's red face and his long white beard fluttering. Lin Liu asked, "Old man, is there anything wrong?" ”
The old man said, "You are the boss of Linliu Company, right?" I've seen you on TV. My family sweat and blood BMW, generally do not call, hear the fate of the nobles to call twice, please follow me to see the horse. ”
Lin Liu said: "I am Lin Liu of Lin Liu Company. And such a miracle? Okay, I'll take a look. ”
Lin Liu and the old man came to the stable, only to see a red high-headed horse, handsome and martial, with a high head, erect mane, slender limbs, and a BMW at a glance. Lin Liu asked, "What is the origin of this horse?" ”
The old man said: "At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zongben of our county followed Zuo Zongtang to regain the lost land in Xinjiang, and became a famous general in the border protection, a first-class officer, and his subordinates captured a wild horse. In one battle, the general rode the horse and was surrounded by the enemy, outnumbered, fled, fled to a wide ditch, the general jumped on the horse, the horse crossed the deep ditch, the enemy's horse did not dare to leap, the general was saved by the horse, and then regarded the horse as his life. This is a male horse who later bought a mare of the same breed and paired it to breed offspring. When the shogun died, he gave the foal born to the old horse to a farmer who loved horses free of charge, and asked the farmer to feed and breed the horse's offspring from generation to generation. I'm a fifth-generation horse breeder. Now the children are working in the big city, I am old, I am worried that there is no one to take over, you are a nobleman, if you like this horse, I will give it to you for free, please feed it, live up to the trust of the general. As for breeding, I provide a place where I can breed with the same product. ”
Lin Liu listened to this tortuous story and paid tribute to the general and generations of horse breeders. Lin Liu really likes this BMW, but she can't ask for the old man's horse for nothing.
"I do like this horse very much, but how much it costs, I'll pay you," said Linliu. ”
The old man said: "When the general gave me my grandfather's horse, he didn't ask for money, and now I give it to you, of course, I can't ask for money, and I won't give you money." However, you have to promise to keep the horse well, and try to keep it from going out. ”
Lin Liu felt that this promise was too heavy and hesitated.
The old man was surprised and said, "You can run the company, but you still dare not make this promise?" ”
Lin Liu said: "I'm afraid that I can't do well and live up to your trust in me. ”
The old man said, "As long as you do your best, if something happens to the horse, I will not blame you." If I can entrust this horse to you, a stone will fall on my heart. ”
Lin Liu said: "Since you trust me so much, I promise to treat the horse well and try to raise it well." Because the horse is so valuable, if your son finds out and complains about you, you can always take it back. What do you think? ”
The old man said: "Loyalty and trustworthiness are my family's family style, as long as the horse is placed in a good home, the children will support it." ”
Lin Liu said: "Well, I know you love horses very much, when you want to horses, you can come to my company at any time to see the horses, you can take the horses home at any time, I count you as a trustee." ”
The old man said, "Well, it's a deal." ”
The old man handed the reins to Linliu, who took the reins of the horse, jumped on the horse's back, said goodbye to the old man, and rode back. The horse neighed......
