Chapter 118: Buying a Horse

Chen Fan and Jiang Lili glanced at each other, and then looked ahead, only to see a large number of people crowded not far away, three layers inside and three layers outside, and they didn't know what was going on.

When he walked over, he found that there were several acquaintances in the crowd.

Secretary Yang, Captain Zhang, Captain Xiao and Captain Ye of the Brigade Department are all here, Captain Yang and Huang Custodian of Team 6 are also here, and there are several members of Lujiawan.

Chen Fan immediately shouted, "Captain, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing the voice, someone looked back and found that it was Chen Fan, and immediately got out of the way, "Master Chen is here too, there is a foal here." ”

Chen Fan thanked him as he walked inside, and at the same time his mind was full of question marks, foal?

Jiang Lili didn't want to go in, but when she saw that the members were still waiting for her to pass, she also followed Chen Fan with her head pierced and walked inside.

It didn't take a few steps to reach the innermost, and Chen Fan saw what the situation was.

A man sat on a bench with a sad face, and in front of him lay a foal.

Probably worried that the foal was afraid of the cold, he put three layers of straw mats on the ground.

It's just that the foal has no energy, curled up listlessly on the straw mat, even his eyes are half-open and half-closed, and he is not interested in the pile of hay around his mouth.

Chen Fan looked at the pony and leaned over to Captain Yang of his team and asked in a low voice, "Is this to sell the pony?" ”

Before Yang Chuanfu could speak, Master Liu, who was standing on the side, said, "This horse is in trouble, and the owner wants to sell it." ”

Chen Fan realized that he was also there, tilted his head to look at Master Liu, and asked curiously, "Who will buy a sick horse?" ”

If it is a healthy foal, the price of 5 or 60 yuan is bought by someone, but if a sick horse is not cured if it is bought back, won't it be a loss for death?

Master Liu smacked his lips and sighed, "This foal is eating something bad and has a stomach, but there is no other problem, the meat of the foal is tender, and some of them are greedy, so they will buy it back and slaughter it to eat meat." ”

When the owner heard his words, his already sad face was so bitter that he was about to drip water, "My foal was originally ordered by our team, and the negotiated 60 yuan, and when we are weaned in 3 months, the horse master will come and take it away."

As a result, there was something wrong with the full moon now, I spent 3 or 4 yuan on money, and I found three veterinarians to see, but the results didn't work.

I can't help it, you all know the situation of the Ganjia Village Brigade this year, many fields have been flooded, and a worker is only more than two cents, I was expecting this foal to sell for some money, and next year life will be better, and this time it will all be in vain. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the foal's head, and let out a long sigh, "Horse, don't blame me, I can't help it." I can't bear to eat you myself, so I can only sell it. ”

The foal seemed to understand him, and shook his head, but then fell down again, his eyes even darker.

Seeing this scene, the voice that Chen Fan heard just now sounded in his ears again.

"Poor for that."

"It's a pity."

Master Liu also shook his head again and again, his eyes were full of unbearability, "I also took a look at it just now, this horse is really a good horse, if you are not mistaken, it should be an Oriental horse that has not been skewed in series." ”

The owner of the horse immediately raised his head and said with a look of chagrin, "Master Liu has a good eye, this is the purebred Oriental horse that I specially went to find the Qingshan Commune next to me, and it cost me 3 yuan to breed at that time." This little devil has been driven away for more than 30 years, and the Oriental horse is one less dead, and it will be difficult to find it in the future. ”

When Chen Fan heard their words, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Oriental horse is the little devil's war horse, right?" ”

Master Liu nodded and explained in a low voice, "The Oriental horse is a little devil who spent almost forty years and spent a lot of money to find the world's top war horses and local bantam horses to breed, so cultivated from generation to generation, running fast, endurance enough, and taller than our local horses, is one of the best war horses."

When our large army came over, a number of war horses were captured, and the good ones were taken away, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were left as horses to plough the fields.

As a result, a group of people were killed during the famine, and a group of them were not allowed to go east or west for ten years, and a batch was wasted. ”

Saying that, he sighed long, looked at the little foal and said, "I saw this horse just now, it is a good horse, and it can be used as a war horse if it is well trained, but this disease, I can't see it well after seeing three veterinarians, I'm afraid that this level will not pass." ”

Chen Fan looked at him, and then at the pony, "Don't you know how to raise horses, and you can't either?" ”

Master Liu laughed, "Then you really think highly of me, if it is a general problem, I can cure it by catching a few handfuls of grass, but this kind of big problem, even other veterinarians can't cure it, what can I do?" ”

Chen Fan looked at the pony's dull eyes, and couldn't help but take a step forward, only to find that he was still holding the milk jug.

He looked left and right, and walked directly to Zhang Wenliang, "Brother Sanhu, help me hug it." ”

Zhang Wenliang glanced into the jar, "This seems to be milk?" ”

Chen Fan smiled, "There's a buffalo milk seller over there, I look very fresh, so I bought a little." ”

Zhang Wenliang nodded suddenly, but did not speak.

Chen Fan handed him the jar, turned around and walked over to the pony, and squatted down to look at it.

Master Liu said on the side, "What, Xiao Chen, you still make horse meat?" ”

Hearing this, the horse owner suddenly felt a pang in his heart, but when he thought of the situation at home, he simply covered his face and didn't look at it.

Chen Fan turned his head and smiled, "No, I just look at the horse." ”

Then he touched the horse's head and barked a few times, "Where are you uncomfortable?" ”

The pony suddenly froze, tilted his head to look at Chen Fan, and also barked twice, "My stomach hurts." ”

After it finished calling, its eyes, which were as dark as ashes just now, suddenly brightened, and its eyes were full of grievances, and tears filled its eyes.

When the people next to him saw this scene, they were all amazed.

Master Liu even said loudly, "Oh, this foal is related to you." ”

Hearing the movement around him, the horse owner instantly raised his head, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Fan touched the horse's head, looked at the little foal rubbed by the aggrieved horn on him, made a decision in his heart, and turned his head to look at the horse owner, "How much does your horse sell?" ”

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and Secretary Yang and the others had the heart to persuade Chen Fan, after all, this horse looked like it was no longer good, and most of them would not be able to live if they bought it back, so they could only wait for death and killing.

But horse meat has no oil or water at all, and it is not worth anything at all, so why spend this unjust money to buy a horse?

But when they saw the appearance of the horse again, everyone held their breath in their throats and could not speak.

Rural people raise livestock, naturally know that some livestock are spiritual, and if they don't show it, they just can't show it, and since they show it, unless there is really no way, they can not kill it, and if they can not sell it, they will not sell it.

This horse clings to Chen Fan with all his might, and it is clear that he is using him as a savior, which is completely different from the performance just now, maybe they are really destined?

The horse owner was stunned for a few seconds before muttering, "3, 30." ”

Master Liu immediately said, "This horse is dying, and you still sell it for 30?" ”

The owner of the horse cried and clenched his teeth, "25 yuan, it really can't be less, I spent 3 yuan on breeding, 3 or 4 yuan for treating it, and the mare's forage for a year、......"

Chen Fan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, it's 25 yuan, and the deal will be sold." ”
