The coachman knew the three people who were killed, so when burying the three people, he tried his best. The pit was digging large and the bodies were buried relatively deep. If the passers-by did not observe carefully, they would not be able to see it at all. When grass grows on the newly dug soil for a while, no one would pay attention to it.

Seeing that Pei Changhao would not kill him, the coachman became a little more active, so he took the initiative to say that these three were the overlords of the county market, buying and selling forcing him, bullying the weak, and colluding with the people of the government, and I don’t know how many bad things he did.

When talking about trading the carriage, the coachman did not hesitate at all and nodded in agreement, but his eyes never left the horse. It seemed that he was reluctant to leave the horse he fed at home. Seeing this, Pei Changhao said that he returned the horse to the coachman, replaced it with a Mongolian horse, and then paid the coachman ten taels of silver.

The coachman was willing to pay any money. He found no less than twenty taels of silver from the dead three people. Besides, the wooden frame of the carriage was at most ten taels of silver, and the coachman had already made money.

Ten taels of silver were given to the coachman.

When they set out again, Pei Changhao and Su Chungui rode a Hequ horse, while Su Chunhua drove a carriage, and an extra Mongolian horse was pulled by Su Chungui.

Su Chunhua became extremely honest and took the initiative to take on the task of driving the carriage without any complaints.

After experiencing the murder just now, Pei Changhao's ideas have changed. In this era of the strong prey on the weak, low-key may not have much effect. If you judge the situation and show your strength appropriately, people will not dare to provoke you. Pei Changhao's low-key in the county market is in exchange for a killing. Fortunately, the opponent's strength is not particularly strong, otherwise the consequences are really hard to say.

When they arrived in Xiazhou, they sold all the carriages and Mongolian horses, bought a Hequ horse, and let Su Chunhua ride them. In this way, all the three of them rode Hequ horses, and the speed of their journey could be greatly improved.

After experiencing this lesson, Pei Changhao no longer wants to waste too much time on the road.

Another thing is to change the weapons in your hand. Pei Changhao likes to use spears and does not like swords, so finding a suitable spear is also an urgent task, but such things cannot be too anxious and require appropriate opportunities.

...

Xiazhou, outside the city, market.

A carriage, a Mongolian horse, plus ten taels of silver, was exchanged for two Hequ horses.

Pei Changhao had no choice. The other party had a crush on two Mongolian horses and had to buy them all, but he didn't care about the carriage. When he learned that Pei Changhao wanted to buy a Hequ horse, he immediately asked someone to bring two Hequ horses, saying that he would make up for ten taels of silver and lead the Hequ horse away.

Pei Changhao did not hesitate at all, and agreed readily, took out a ingot of silver and traded it on the spot.

The three of them had four river quiver horses.

In fact, Mongolian horses are not worse than Hequ horses, but they are slightly smaller in size and are not as good as Hequ horses. In terms of endurance, Mongolian horses are slightly stronger than Hequ horses.

In terms of breeding, Mongolian horses are also easier to raise than Hequ horses, and they do not pay so much attention to food.

Su Chunhua, who rode on the Hequ horse, had a clear change in spirit.

After the transaction ended, Pei Changhao did not waste any time and decided to continue rushing to the city of Xiazhou to avoid the long nights and dreams. Su Chunhua and Su Chungui completely obeyed Pei Changhao's decision.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was a village not far ahead.

Pei Changhao breathed a long sigh and finally found a place to rest. In fact, leaving Xiazhou City is an adventure. If you can't find a place to rest along the way, you have to sleep in the wild.

Along the way, the three of them didn't waste time, and they almost rushed to the road. The desolate surroundings made Pei Changhao feel unreal. There were basically no people around the official road, and there were some houses with broken walls.

"Brother Hao, there is a person lying here."

Su Chungui's exclamation made Pei Changhao hold the reins, and occasionally saw people leaving their hometown along the way, and they had no eggs left after being destroyed. This was nothing strange.

A strong smell of wine came, Pei Changhao was stunned for a moment, then dismounted and walked over with the reins.

It is hard to see someone who is drunk and lying beside the official road.

The drunk man was wearing a white robe with some mud on it. He should have been lying on the side of the road after being drunk.

Pei Changhao reached out and patted the man on the shoulder.

The drunken man moved his body and turned his head to look at Pei Changhao.

"Who is disturbing my dream..."

He has a fair face, a few beards on his chin, and his whole body has a faint elegance.

Pei Changhao smiled slightly. This person was not really drunk.

"There is nothing, I just saw you lying on the side of the road and came over to ask, it would be fine if you had nothing to do."

Pei Changhao stood up and prepared to leave.

The drunk man also stood up, reached out to flick the soil on the white robe, looked at Pei Changhao, and spoke unyieldingly.

"This is not possible. I was dreaming just now. I dreamed of a great thing. You disturbed my good dream for no reason. You can't just leave..."

Su Chunhua, who was on the other side, showed an angry expression on her face.

"You are unreasonable, what does your dream have to do with us..."

Pei Changhao waved his hand and signaled Su Chunhua not to be excited.

"We are wrong to disturb your good dream. Tell me, how do we compensate you?"

The drunk man looked at Pei Changhao and laughed.

"Young Master, I think you are old and gentle. It's okay, I'm lucky. I think you three ride four horses. It's better to pay me one horse. So we will be cleared..."

Su Chunhua and Su Chungui's expressions changed. The price of a Hequ horse was mostly seventy taels of silver, which was an unimaginable huge sum of money for ordinary people. The drunk man in front of him actually said so easily.

If you disturb your good dream, you will be seventy taels of silver. This is something you have never heard of. To put it bluntly, it is robbery.

Su Chunhua reached out to her waist and secretly held the hilt of the knife. Su Chungui's hand also reached to her chest, with a slingshot hidden there.

Pei Changhao was slightly stunned and looked at the drunk man carefully.

"Well, since it disturbs your good dream, I will compensate you for a horse, Chungui, hand him the reins, and let's go."

Su Chungui walked forward reluctantly, handed the reins to the drunk man, glared fiercely before turning around and leaving.

This time, Su Chunhua didn't say anything and followed Pei Changhao with his head down.

After getting on the horse and heading towards the village ahead, Pei Changhao did not look back.

"Brother Chunhua, Chungui, you must have some ideas, say it out, don't keep it in your heart."

Su Chungui couldn't ask, Su Chunhua lowered her head and thought for a moment before looking up.

"Brother Chang Hao, what you did was thought about carefully and it must make sense."

In just a few days, Su Chunhua has indeed changed a little more stable. The past idle and idle time is gone forever. Su Chunhua, who is already twenty years old, should also change.

The encounters in the desert, the fierce battles outside the county town, and the desolation along the way made Su Chunhua understand that the world is really not peaceful. If you want to survive, you need to think about it and find ways to deal with the dangers that come at any time. At least you must be able to help Pei Changhao instead of becoming a burden.

Pei Changhao nodded slightly, and it seemed that Su Chunhua had begun to think about the problem.

Since neither Su Chunhua nor Su Chungui asked, there was no need for him to explain.

"It's getting late, so we hurry to the village ahead and find a place to rest."

Pei Changhao had a feeling that the person who seemed drunk was not simple, and was definitely not an ordinary person. They would definitely meet again. Maybe giving this Hequ horse would have a greater gain. Of course, it might be possible to suffer a loss. If you get rid of your mistakes, Pei Changhao will be cautious in the future and do not believe in the so-called adventure.

In just a few minutes, Pei Changhao and his party came to the village.

The villages are distributed on both sides of the official road, and there are not many houses and there are no pedestrians outside.

It was just dark, and the windows of one or two rooms were already shining.

Su Chungui went to knock on the door and stayed, while Pei Changhao and Su Chunhua were waiting on the official road.

A few minutes passed, and Su Chungui came over with a sad face.

"Brother Hao, they don't want to stay in the room, and they don't even say why if they don't open the door."

Pei Changhao was stunned for a moment. It was already dark and they could only rest here. If everyone was unwilling to stay, it would be a bit troublesome.

"Chungui, go knock on the door again, and say that we are passers-by, and stay for one night and are willing to pay."

Su Chungui nodded, turned around and knocked on the door again.

Su Chunhua paused and looked at Wu Changhao and spoke.

"Brother Chang Hao, I think this village is a bit strange. It is distributed on both sides of the official road, but there are no restaurants. It is said that there are many people passing by in this area and there are also many people staying in. Do you mean that the village does not believe in people staying in the night?"

Pei Changhao nodded and looked at Su Chunhua and spoke.

"There is such a possibility. Some people in the village may have suffered losses, so everyone is a little afraid. It's too desolate along the way. It would be nice to be able to see such a village."

"Brother Chang Hao, what if they don't want to open the door?"

"We don't want to open the door, so we can only sleep outside."

In late summer and early autumn, the climate is pretty good, so you can bear sleeping outside.

When Su Chungui came back again, his face was filled with anger.

"Brother Hao, ignore it, the lights of those two families are also gone."

Before Su Chungui finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves behind him appeared.

"It seems that you stayed in the village and were rejected. It is also a fault for your bad luck. This village never accepts people who stayed there. If you send me Hequma, I will help you. Come with me and I will find a place to stay for you."

"If you can't trust me, then forget it, you can only sleep in the wild."

The sound of horse hooves headed to the right of the official road, where there was a small path.

Pei Changhao did not hesitate, grabbed the reins, followed the figure in front of him and headed towards the path.
Chapter completed!
