"Your Majesty, spare your life, we are all poor and really have no money... If you want to kill me, just kill me, but don't kill my son." Li Goucheng was so frightened that he even lost his soul.
"Whoever said they wanted to kill you, stand up and speak."
Li Goucheng and the other four stood up timidly. Li Goucheng said: "If you don't kill me, what are you going to do? We have nothing?"
"I heard you talking about buying a horse just now, right?"
What do you mean by your excited expression? Li Goucheng was confused. He said timidly: "How can I afford a horse? It's just that my eldest son can't afford to get married. If the family can buy a younger one,
When a donkey plows the fields, it's easier to find someone to marry."
"Haha, your fate is here. I happen to be a horse seller. Are you excited or happy?"
Li Goucheng had a death wish now. He must have gone out without looking at the almanac before bumping into these two bandits. Of course he was very excited and excited about whether he could survive today.
"But I don't have that much money?"
"Well, after all, you still have to buy it with money. How much do you have?"
"Two... copper plates." Li Goucheng carefully took out two nearly polished copper plates from his clothes. He didn't know how long he kept them.
"This..." Cheng Dalei grinned: "Do you have anything else on you?"
"I also have four wild vegetable pancakes here that my mother baked for us to satisfy our hunger on the way."
Li Da opened the package and found four burnt vegetable pancakes inside. Cheng Dalei broke off a piece and handed it to Lin Shaoyu.
“Does it taste okay?”
"Well, not bad."
Cheng Dalei and Lin Shaoyu looked at each other, turned and walked aside, gathering together to whisper.
"Master, two copper coins and four vegetable cakes, this price is a bit low?"
"I know it's a bit low, but what if we don't sell it? Are we really killing people to eat meat?"
"If you don't sell it to them, they are all from poor families, so you should be doing a good deed."
"Then you mean to sell it?"
"sold."
Li Gou Sheng and his son looked at the backs of the two of them. They didn't know what they were muttering, and their hearts were pounding. If they fell into the hands of bandits, there would be no good end. It was common for their heads to be chopped off with a knife.
"Ha ha."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and the four of them almost knelt on the ground again in fright.
"Okay, this is my first time opening. Count your luck and go up the mountain."
"Go up the mountain!" Li Gou's eyes widened. He wanted to kidnap his father and son to the mountain to become bandits. He quickly begged: "Grandpa Wang, if you want to arrest me, arrest me. At least let my son go, and give it to us."
The Li family passed down the incense."
"What! You don't want to go up the mountain!" Cheng Dalei raised his axe, eager to shave. Seeing this scene, Li Gou still dared to speak.
"Let's go up the mountain. Young Master Lin, take care of our customers."
Lin Shaoyu walked in the front, Cheng Dalei walked at the end carrying a big ax, and in the middle were the four father and son of the Li family.
The souls of the four of them were about to drop dead. It felt like their lives were tied to a spider thread and would fall off at any time.
"Dad...will they kill us?" Li San.
"Kid, hold on, don't be timid."
"Dad, please stop teasing your legs before you say this."
"When they want to kill us, I will risk my life with them. Xiaosan, you have to run out alive or dead. You are the incense of our family."
The four of them swayed step by step, as if their feet were on the clouds. Wherever they walked, it was the road up the mountain, which obviously led to the gate of hell. Looking at the village gate from a distance, the four of them were already ashen-faced. They stepped into the village and thought about getting out.
It's difficult.
"Four of you, please!" Lin Shaoyu led the four of them to the horse pen.
"I'm going to fight with you..." Li Goucheng roared, and suddenly paused when he saw the situation in the horse pen clearly.
"What are you fighting for?" Lin Shaoyu was confused.
"Do you want to fight Duoduo?" Cheng Dalei said: "Hurry up, choose one?"
Li Goucheng and his son were all in extreme shock. They saw that the horse pen was crowded with horses of various colors, black, white, red, gray... there were so many that they were crowded together. Each horse held its head high.
With a head and a full set of saddles, this is not an ordinary horse, but a strong war horse. Its physical strength, size, and body are not comparable to ordinary horses.
The three brothers of the Li family are almost salivating at their enemies. Since they are men, who wouldn't want to gallop around the world with their horses and whips raised?
Li Gouchan seemed to be in the mist, and said timidly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to sell it to us?"
"Hmm, how many do you want?"
"One."
"One, I've gone through so much trouble just to get one!" Cheng Dalei frowned.
"How about two?" Li Goucheng raised two fingers nervously, fearing that he would offend the mountain king by being too greedy.
"Only two." Cheng Dalei frowned even more: "You have three sons, shouldn't each of you have one? If you want another one yourself, what do you think of four?"
The three brothers of the Li family glowed with excitement and signaled their father to agree quickly. Li Gou Sheng looked at them hard and said helplessly: "I can't afford it."
"Then just two." Cheng Dalei suddenly remembered something: "Can you cut wheat?"
"We are all farmers, so there is nothing we can't do about cutting wheat."
"Okay, as long as each of you can cut an acre of wheat before dark, I will let you take away two horses."
Cheng Dalei nodded to Lin Shaoyu, and Lin Shaoyu gave him a thumbs up in admiration. The boss was indeed very clever, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief at escaping the hard work.
He took, or rather escorted, four people to the wheat field, and each of them gave them a sickle to cut the wheat. In the end, Cheng Dalei did not escape, and was snatched and given a sickle by Xu Shenji. What made Cheng Dalei the most angry was that Lin Shaoyu
He even used the excuse to sell horses down the mountain again and took the opportunity to run away.
The sickle swept across, laying down pieces of wheat under the summer sun. Cheng Dalei stood up straight and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Master, you are lazy again!" Xu Shenji.
"No, haven't you seen that I am also very diligent?"
"Hurry up, we can't make it in time for dinner." Xu Shenji urged.
Looking at the vast golden wheat fields under the sun, Cheng Dalei suddenly lost his mind and felt that Toad Village was like a small home. Qin Man is the honest eldest brother, Lin Shaoyu is the stubborn younger brother, and Xu Ling'er is the naughty and juicy... wife who has never married.
, yes, yes, she is the wife, so Xu Shenji is naturally the snobbish father-in-law... He felt that he liked this place a little bit.
None of Li Gou or the remaining four dared to say a word, for fear of offending the mountain king.
"Dad, do you think he will really give us horses?"
"Stop dreaming and work quickly."
"I guess what he said is that if the wheat cannot be harvested before dark, he will send us to see the King of Hell."
The four people were harvesting wheat, and they were all from the fields. They were not afraid of such work, and under the threat of death, they all showed their potential. A large area of wheat field was cut, tied into wheat sheaves, and brought to the school yard of the village.
"Your Majesty, do you need our help to grind it into wheat?"
"No need, go to the stable and choose two horses."
