Chapter 404

403

Su Haoyi came out of Xianyuan Mountain and rode a horse and came to the Mule and Horse Market dozens of miles away.

Most of the animals sold in the countryside are used to plow the fields, and there are no tall horses like Su Haoyi riding.

She walked around the market and fell in love with a green donkey.

The seller is a middle-aged man.

"Will I exchange my horse for your donkey?" Su Haoyi asked him directly.

After hearing this, the man looked Su Haoyi up and down a few times, then looked around the horse and then looked again and again.

"Young master, don't come and spend me," the man sneered: "When I don't know the market or can't tell the difference?"

"I didn't spend time on you, what I said was true." Su Liangyi had no expression on his face.

"Take a horse to exchange for a donkey? How much do I ask you for?" The man asked Su Haoyi tentatively.

"No need to look for it." Su said simply: "It's just bartering."

After hearing what she said, the man hesitated even more: "You are not sick, right? Or is it just a stolen property."

It’s not a big mistake for this man to think too much, and no one dares to believe it.

Judging from the normal price, Su Haoyi's horse is enough to exchange for ten donkeys.

But if you are sick or have stolen goods, that's another matter.

The former was hit in his hands, while the latter was recovered by the government. No matter which one was a loss of money.

"Do you think I'm like a stealer?" Su smiled a little helplessly.

At this time, everyone around them gathered to watch the fun. Like that man, they didn't believe that there would be such a big advantage.

"Huozi, there is nothing in the sky about fillings and cakes." A man who is about the same age as him reminded: "Don't be obsessed with money for a moment."

Su Haoyi noticed that the middle-aged man selling donkeys had a piece missing on his left ear. The man just called him Huozi, probably because of his nickname.

"No, even if the horse is not sick, it wasn't stolen by him, this young man is probably not very normal," said another older person: "If his family comes back, if you don't say you return the horse, you will probably have to be beaten."

After everyone said this, Huozi said nothing and dared not agree.

"You are still a big man, and you can't do anything about a donkey." At this time, another woman came over and said loudly.

"Widow Sun, don't stand and talk without hurting your waist," Huozi's face turned red when she was squeezed. He stung his neck and retorted: "If you dare, you can change your cow and this young master."

When they came here, they were all buying and selling animals. The woman was holding a thin cow, the kind of cow that was so old that she could not plow the fields and could only kill the bones.

"I don't want a cow, I just want your donkey." Su Haoyi wanted to fight quickly.

"I can't do anything about this," Widow Sun clapped her hands and said, "I want to change it, but I don't do it."

"If you have that courage, let's change first." Huozi challenged: "If you don't dare, just keep going and don't talk sarcastic in front of me."

This Widow Sun is also a stingy person. After hearing what he said, he immediately responded: "If you change, what's the point of not daring to do?"

Although this cow is thin and old, it is worth the money of a donkey. Huozi didn't hesitate and said to everyone: "Everyone is here to give us a testimony. This is what she voluntarily wants to change. It's not my business if she pleads out the lawsuit!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you're still a good guy!" Widow Sun spat: "If I go back on my word, I'll give you my little wife."

Everyone burst into laughter, and this is their fun.

When talking to Huozi, Widow Sun was very stingy. But when she turned around and looked at the old yellow cow, she softened her heart again, rubbing the bull's head and said, "Old cow, old cow, if I weren't in a hurry to deal with my mother-in-law's funeral, I wouldn't sell you anything. We both owe Lao Sun's family, and we will pay it back in this life. I will be a cow for you in the next life.

Lao Niu licked her hands as if he understood her words.

Huozi took the cow, but was afraid that Widow Sun would repent, so he took the cow to the slaughter shop there.

Here Su Haoyi gave the horse to Widow Sun and gave her an extra ten taels of silver.

"Young Master, you are... this... I dare not ask for this." Widow Sun was so scared that she waved her hand.

"Take it, sister-in-law." Su insisted on giving it to her: "It can be seen that you are a kind person. I feel relieved if you give it to you. You should take this money to take care of your mother-in-law's funeral."

After saying that, he didn't stop for a long time, took the donkey and left.

The reason why she replaced the horse with a donkey was because she wanted to go deep into the mountains. The mountain road was rugged, but the donkey had better endurance.

Sima Lantai will definitely hide in a place where people are missing. She can only try her luck and hope to see Sima Lantai.

It was the weather at this time, and even if the sun sets, it was not very cool.

Su Haoyi found a clean inn, asked for a room, and had supper in the house.

Before it was completely dark, Su Haoyi was ready to go to bed and rest.

She took out a gauze pocket from her bag and hung it on the head of the bed. There were several herbs on it that were matched by Sima Lantai to drive away mosquitoes.

Then he took out Sima Lantai's letter, but still did not open it, but just pressed it tightly on his chest.

She slept pretty well that night. Although she was still thinking about Sima Lantai, she knew that she had to keep her energy. Otherwise, before she could find Sima Lantai, her body would collapse first.

The next morning, Su Haoyi got up and paid back the store’s money, bought more than a dozen steamed buns from the store, and then rode a donkey on the road.

She speculated that Sima Lantai would probably walk into the deep mountains and forests southwest after leaving the county government, so she took the shortcuts and rushed there. They walked away in remote mountain roads, and often had to walk dozens of miles before they could meet a crowded place.

It was too hot, so she couldn't bring too much food. Apart from the dried jerky fruits she had prepared before, dry food and other supplies were always available.

After walking like this for five or six days, the road is getting harder and the population is getting less and less.

Later, when I asked a hunter, there was no one else to go forward, so she paid for the money to buy a lot of food from the hunter's house, because she couldn't buy it even if she wanted to go forward.

"Young Master, what are you doing alone in the deep mountains and forests? There are jackals, tigers and leopards there, and if you don't do it properly, you will lose your life." The hunter dissuaded Su Haoyi: "Even if we hunters want to enter, we have to take several hunting dogs, so we dare not go alone. What's more, even if you don't encounter a beast and get lost in it, it's still dangerous."

But Su Haoyi had already put life and death aside at this time, so he didn't care and said with a smile: "Thank you for your reminder, I understand."

"If you want to insist on going in, you have to worship the mountain god so that the mountain god can bless you to come back safely." Seeing that the hunter could not persuade her, she had to say so.
