Wu'an is a strategic fortress, which means it is not a very prosperous place, so Qin Yang and Zhao Yun did not feel crowded when walking in the city. The two of them bought many items along the way, including new clothes for the three of them.
Eat and wait. Qin Yang also went to the jewelry store and spent eight taels of gold to buy a gold and jade crested hairpin and a jade bracelet for Qingyao. Zhao Yun felt distressed again and laughed and scolded Qin Yang for his extravagance. Qin Yang
Just smiled and said nothing.
By the time the two of them rushed to the horse market, it was already late noon. Both of them were worried that Qingyao would be anxious waiting alone at home, so they both quickened their pace. Suddenly, Qin Yang heard some slight footsteps behind him.
Qin Yang, who was extremely vigilant, immediately understood that he and his eldest father were being followed. He recalled that when he was at Lin's Trading Company, the shopkeeper Lin Chen's sly eyes at first and the smile on his boss Lin Ye's face afterwards were so unreasonable.
, I understood immediately.
Qin Yang did not look back for the unscrupulous follower. Such a thing would have been nothing to Qin Yang in another time and space, because none of the people who tried to follow him saw the sun the next day. Absolutely
No!
Qin Yang just sighed in his heart: "What is supposed to come will come after all. You can't hide even if you want to. Why are people so greedy? Just like the little Japanese devils and the little monkeys from Nanyang.
The same thing? Do you want to grab things that don't belong to you at all costs?" Qin Yang thought about this question for ten years, but he never figured it out.
The horse market is in the northwest corner of Wu'an City. Qin Yang and Zhao Yun walked quickly and arrived here in a short while. There was no war at this time, and horses were generally used for plowing fields and pulling goods. The horse market was also affected by this.
The inappropriate word to describe it can be said to be "deserted". Seeing that there were no buyers, and the July sun was shining brightly, the horse sellers gathered under the pavilion to enjoy the cool weather. Qin Yang asked Zhao Yun to stand aside.
After a break, he entered the horse pen alone. He probably saw Qin Yang in ragged clothes, but no one came to chat with him. Qin Yang didn't take it seriously and just picked the horse by himself. Taking advantage of the opportunity to choose the horse, Qin Yang had already picked up the thief.
Xi's stalker took a closer look.
Qin Yang walked around in the middle, but didn't find any good horses. He felt regretful and was about to choose two horses. Suddenly, a horse neighed from a corner. The neighing sounded like sorrow, loneliness, and a call. Qin Yang could only
I felt my heart startled, and rushed after the sound. I saw an old man with white hair holding on to the horse's reins desperately to prevent the horse from breaking free. Another yellow horse next to him was far away. Strangely enough, the horse suddenly
Seeing Qin Yang's arrival, he suddenly became quiet. He just kept walking with his front hooves, and his big round eyes were staring at Qin Yang, as if he was about to shed tears. Qin Yang was surprised, and then he looked at the horse carefully.
This horse is all black, with dry fur. It is about seven feet tall, fully 10% taller than other horses. It has thick limbs and proudly standing mane. It is so skinny that almost all of its frame is exposed. On the horse's back
There were also several scars with deep visible blood, probably from being beaten by the owner. Although Qin Yang didn't know much about horses, his intuition told him that this horse was extraordinary.
"Old man, can you tell me about your horse? And what's the price of this horse?" Qin Yang pointed at the black horse and said that he had decided to buy it.
"Hey, to be honest, sir, this horse is a colt I bought from a Hu businessman a few years ago. I originally wanted to buy it for farming, but I didn't expect this animal to grow up and become very violent.
He couldn't hold on, let alone plow the fields, and he wouldn't let anyone ride him. He was so stubborn that neither of them could hold him back. The family was old and young and had no labor to plow the fields. The old woman fell ill again earlier, and the family had no money, so there was no choice but to
Sell it. As for the yellow horse, which is a bit old, I will bring it along with you to exchange some money for the old woman's medical treatment. As for the price of the black horse, just give me three hundred copper coins." The white-haired old man said.
This horse has been sold at the horse market for several days, and no one really cares about such a thin horse that does not plow the land. Now finally a buyer came, and he told the truth and directly quoted the real price.
, still looking at Qin Yang with anxiety in his heart, he was very worried about this deal.
On the way here, Qin Yang had already asked Zhao Yun about the current market conditions of the horse market. He knew that a good horse costs about ten shi meters (about three hundred Qinbanliang). The old man bid three hundred for this dark horse.
Don't ask for much.
Seeing the pity of the horse and the helplessness of the old man, Qin Yang felt sad and said: "Old man, I want this horse." He then took out two pieces of Lu Jin from his wallet.
Hand it to the old man.
When the white-haired old man saw it, he shook his hands in panic: "Sir, I don't need so much, I can't get any change."
"Old man, don't worry, don't you still have a horse? I bought it together, so you don't have to find the money. This horse is worth this price, really. Besides, your family also needs money, right?" Qin Yang was afraid
The old man refused to accept it and emphasized it.
The white-haired old man was stunned for a while before taking the Lu Jin. He looked at Qin Yang with gratitude and was speechless. He just handed the reins to Qin Yang silently. He knew that four taels of Lu Jin could be exchanged for more than one thousand two hundred.
Qin Banliang is enough for the whole family to live without worries about food and clothing for two years.
Qin Yang smiled slightly, took the horse's reins from the old man's hand, and gently led the black horse out of the fence. The black horse took a few steps forward as if it was spiritual, lowered its head and kept rubbing against Qin Yang's body, and kept on grinding.
He snorted, and his four hooves made a "get, get" sound on the bluestone pavement, looking extremely happy and eager to try.
Qin Yang was very surprised. He turned around and hugged the black horse's head and stroked it gently. When Qin Yang was in time and space, he once heard a comrade who had been a cavalryman for five years say that horses are man's most loyal friends.
Spiritually, people can try to communicate with horses. So Qin Yang thought for a while, and suddenly leaned into the black horse's ear and whispered: "Ma, Ma, I know you have been wronged. You don't belong here. Do you want to be here?"
Running across the boundless grassland, you want to fight on a battlefield full of war smoke, don’t you? Let’s go together to the place that belongs to us, okay?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Yang finished speaking, the black horse broke away from Qin Yang, and suddenly the man stood up, "咴儿咴儿..." roared for a while, and then kept walking in circles around Qin Yang.
Suddenly, the horses in the entire horse market started to stir, and all the horse sellers looked at this skinny black horse in surprise...
"Haha, this horse can really understand me! It seems that I really bought a treasure." Qin Yang was overjoyed. He knew what an excellent war horse meant to him in the cold weapon era.
"Father, we've bought the horse, let's go home." Qin Yang, who was in an extremely comfortable mood, greeted Zhao Yun, who was enjoying the shade under a pavilion not far away.
Zhao Yun arrived in response, and the two of them gradually drove away with a horse in front of everyone.
