Chapter 1548: Make some money, Tomb Witch
Just after midsummer.
The five people left Taohua Island and arrived at Lin'an Pier.
At this point, everyone should have parted ways and set out on their own.
Su Mingzhe stopped several junior brothers and junior sisters:
"It's a long way to deliver letters. If you rely on your legs to walk, you may break your legs. I suggest you go to the horse market to buy a walking aid to save time on the road!"
"What Senior Brother said is true, and we think so too!"
Yang Guo, Da Wu, and Xiao Wu have long wanted to ride horses.
Unfortunately, there is only one little red horse on Peach Blossom Island, and it has a very stubborn temper. It only allows Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Guo Fu to ride it.
After leaving Peach Blossom Island this time, Guo Jing gave the little red horse to Guo Fu to ride.
While they were chatting and laughing, they came to the horse market on the eastern outskirts of the city.
After a while.
The five people walked out with gloomy expressions.
Xiao Wu was even more angry and said:
"A horse is actually priced at fifty taels of silver, which is more expensive than a human being!"
By the end of the Song Dynasty, horses in Jiangnan were very expensive.
Here, the price of an old farm cattle is about five or six taels of silver.
Ren Yazi sells servants and maids for about five to ten taels of silver.
And an ordinary gelded green horse starts with fifty taels of silver.
In other words, one horse can be exchanged for ten girls, boy.
The price of horses is so high, no wonder some people are in a bad mood.
When leaving Peach Blossom Island this time, Huang Rong prepared two hundred taels of silver for each person.
According to normal consumption, this money is naturally enough for several people to use for half a year.
However, nowadays everyone wants to buy horses for transportation, and the money spent on buying horses must not be too much.
Otherwise, if you spend too much, you may not be able to meet your living expenses in the second half of the year.
"Don't be discouraged. The price of normal horses is indeed high, and we can't afford it. However, don't forget that we are the disciples of the 'Horse King God'. If we spend more money to buy horses in this horse market, then
The name of the master has been weakened!"
The "horse king god" mentioned by Su Mingzhe is Han Baoju among the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan.
Han Baoju, ranked third among the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River, is said to be as short as a short winter melon, but his equestrian skills are outstanding and his ability to read horses is unparalleled in the world.
Da Wu and Xiao Wu didn't understand what Su Mingzhe meant, but Yang Guo guessed it and couldn't help but look happy:
"Senior brother, if possible, would you like to make a fortune?"
"decide as things go!"
Su Mingzhe and the four of them first found a nearby inn to stay in. After they changed into coarse clothes, they returned to the horse market.
Under Su Mingzhe's guidance, the five of them visited the horse market and found twelve "sick" horses that were "to be slaughtered".
Because the horses are "sick" and "to be slaughtered", the price is naturally not expensive.
It only cost three hundred taels of silver in total.
The five people led the horses back to the inn. Su Mingzhe immediately went to the drugstore to buy medicine, grinded it into powder when he came back, mixed it into horse feed, and fed it to the horses.
At this point.
After Da Wu and Xiao Wu, Guo Fu finally understood how Su Mingzhe wanted to make money.
Two days passed.
The twelve horses are full of energy and no longer look sick as before.
Su Mingzhe and the four of them each selected one, and the remaining eight were sold for fifty or sixty taels.
As they walked in and out, including the medicine money, not only did the group gain four more horses, but they also made a net profit of one hundred taels of silver.
After riding on the tall horse, Xiao Wu slid back and forth in a circle, and then he said with high spirits:
"It's really thanks to Senior Brother that he likes reading, otherwise we would have to live frugally in the second half of the year!"
Guo Fu was feeling happy as she held the forty taels of silver that Su Mingzhe had given her.
After hearing Xiao Wu's words, she also agreed very much.
??????????.??????
However, the habit of living together on the island for many years made her complain:
"The senior brother is a bookworm. He has almost torn through all the books on the island!"
After Yang Guo heard this, he replied rudely:
"Senior brother doesn't know how to read bad books. He has a very good memory and never reads a book a second time!"
Seeing that Yang Guo made the conversation more heated as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Mingzhe could only laugh and said:
"Don't worry about whether you are reading or not. We say goodbye today, and we will see you again in half a year. You should be careful along the way. If you encounter something, go to the Beggar Clan branch first, and don't deal with it blindly by yourself..."
The four junior brothers and sisters were all impatient with the nagging and quickly said goodbye with fists in their hands.
Guo Fu, Da Wu, and Xiao Wu sent the messages in the south direction, and the short-term direction was the same way.
Yang Guo went west.
And Su Mingzhe is heading north.
After leaving Lin'an.
Su Mingzhe first rode to Wuxi, then crossed the river and headed north.
The more than twenty letters on his body need to travel from Jiangbei to Qilu, pass through Bianliang, pass through Jinzhong, and finally reach Guanzhong.
This road has been full of wind and rain.
After two to three thousand miles of journey, Su Mingzhe was afraid that his horse would not endure the hardships of the road, so every time he rode it, he would use fairy essence to comb its meridians to relieve fatigue.
When resting at night, don’t forget to feed some Peiyuan Guben medicinal decoction that you prepared yourself to help treat hidden diseases.
After traveling like this for more than a month, I have left Shanxi and arrived in Guanzhong.
The horse is still in good spirits.
At this moment, Su Mingzhe only had one letter left in his hand from Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.
Thinking of how close he was to Chongyang Palace, the little dragon girls in the ancient tomb seemed to be waving to him.
Su Mingzhe's eyes began to shine with a light called desire.
Young people in the world, old horseshoes,
Desire to ride the wind, rush and eyes blurred.
After reading all the storms, the sword is still there,
Throwing swords and wine while wearing coir raincoats!
Seeing that Zhongnan Mountain was already in sight, Su Mingzhe's mood inevitably became excited:
"I don't know, but the little dragon girl who grew up in an ancient tomb is somewhat similar to Wang Yuyan in "Dragon". Well, her temperament must be very different..."
"Besides, without Yang Guo as a troublemaker, 'Mama Rong' should still be alive and well..."
"I don't know if my plan to promote Xiao Longnu will be blocked by 'Mama Rong'. If it doesn't work, I can only..."
He was making plans in his mind to overthrow Xiao Longnu, and before he knew it, he had reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
Su Mingzhe was about to have something to eat in the town at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain, when he saw two Taoist priests walking out of the town, humming as they walked:
"The little witch from the Tomb Sect and the old witch are really powerful. The five of us dealt with two women and even let them hurt someone! Fortunately, the little witch was hit by a sword and ran away, leaving only the old witch.
We have no choice but to surrender..."
"A little witch from the Tomb Sect? An old witch?"
"Little Dragon Girl and Grandma Sun?"
When Su Mingzhe heard this, his head almost exploded:
"Why did the Taoist priest of Chongyang Palace get into a fight with Little Dragon Girl?"
"Little Dragon Girl was hit with a sword, and Granny Sun was also captured!"
Unable to figure out what happened, Su Mingzhe didn't care to think too much. He quickly opened his consciousness and saw an injured young girl lying in the grass several miles away.
And in the only inn in the town a few hundred meters away, an old woman in her fifties or sixties was tied up and thrown into the woodshed.
"Wait until I save my wife and daughter-in-law first, and then I will settle the score with you!"
After giving the two Taoist priests a fierce look, Su Mingzhe immediately drove his horse towards the 'Little Dragon Girl' without even bothering to settle accounts with them!
