Chu Wanying didn't care about that much, "It's okay. If you think it's not suitable, just don't sell it."

The pony dealer lost his temper for a moment because of her indifferent attitude. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said cruelly, "Okay! I admit that I am unlucky! I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Business has not been doing well recently. If it were not the case,

In the past, just these few horses in my family would have cost two or three taels of silver at least!"

Rong Zhan didn't answer. He could see that what the vendor said was true, so he hesitated to buy it just now.

The foal is worth every penny, but two taels of silver is a bit expensive.

When he was still debating whether to buy it or not, he didn't expect that he would finally get it done with just a few words from the girl.

Hearing this, Chu Wanying became curious, "If it's hard to sell your horse, why don't you do some other business?"

"Young lady, you don't know. My family has been doing this business for generations. If I were asked to do anything else, I wouldn't know how to do it!" the horse dealer said, stroking the horse's mane and sighing helplessly.

"I am originally from the northern part of the Qing Dynasty. I moved with my uncle to a village called Guangkai not far from here the year before last. Well, just cross the mountain and walk twenty miles north." As he said this, he

Pointing to the hills to the north.

"Hey, but since a group of bandits came a month ago, the whole village has become a hell on earth. I am a good fortune teller and escaped with a few horses. The rest is...hey."

"You mean there are really bandits on the mountain?"

Chu Wanying thought that the murder of the Xu family was carefully planned, but she didn't expect that there were actually bandits.

"That's still fake! Girl, you don't know something. Although Guangkai Village is not as lively as yours, it has a prosperous population. But since the bandit took over the mountain and became the king, the villagers have been dying and fleeing. Now they have long

It became an empty village.”

"To be honest, I originally thought that if I could sell all these horses, and then take the money to go shopping in the capital, and gain experience, my life would not be in vain!"

When the horse dealer said this, his eyes were shining, and his eyes revealed longing.

Chu Wanying shook her head and disagreed in her heart.

This little horse dealer is indeed young, and he still harbors such extravagant hopes.

How can a random person get along in Beijing?

She didn't have the nerve to hit him, so she just said, "Then this is all you have left..." After a rough count, "Five horses?"

"Yes! The rest were robbed by bandits!"

Rong Zhan stepped forward and looked at each of them carefully, "I'll give you two taels, and I want all five."

"What?" The horse dealer's eyes lit up when he heard what he said.

In fact, he knew very well that his horses were either old or young, and even if they were of superior quality and breed, ordinary people would never buy them.

Unexpectedly, this man wanted them all at once!

Chu Wanying was also surprised, but she didn't say anything and respected his decision very much.

Someone on the side also helped, "How do you think? Do you agree or not? Let's have a happy talk!"

"Of course! In this case, I will have enough money to go to the capital!" When the horse dealer said this, his eyes were shining.

"However, I have one more condition." Rong Zhan said suddenly, "You have to help me raise him for a month. Where do you live now?"

"What does this mean?" The horse dealer looked puzzled, but he still replied, "I live in a broken thatched house in the back mountain, and I built it myself!"

When he said this, his tone was not without pride.

"Okay, then I will give you one tael of silver to buy two horses. As for the remaining three horses, you can help me raise them first. I will pay you back in a month. What do you think?"

Rong Zhan naturally had his own intention in doing this. This horse is indeed of good quality, but it will be of little use if it meets someone who doesn't know how to raise it.

Therefore, he wanted this young horse dealer to help him train him for a while.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sell these horses to others?" The horse dealer stared at him suspiciously.

He smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head, and said firmly, "You can't do that. If you were really such a person, you wouldn't have fled with the horses, but with other things."

Chu Wanying was confused by his words and asked, "Where did the other things come from?"

He smiled silently, and only the horse dealer heard it.

During the great calamity in the village, many homes were looted by bandits, including some from wealthy families.

Some people with bad intentions will take advantage of the chaos to steal something valuable and then escape.

Especially for a young man of his age, he can do these things with ease.

But instead of doing it, he gave the extra horses to the villagers, old men and children, telling them to run for their lives.

It's just that he didn't say this at all just now. How did this man know?

He couldn't hold back and asked all the questions in his heart.

Rong Zhan smiled again, "Anyway, I feel relieved to leave the horse to you."

He can even bring out these old, weak and sick horses. If there are young and strong horses, how could he not be able to bring them out?

Saying it was robbed by bandits is just an excuse.

There is only one reason for not taking it out, it must be given to someone who needs it more.

Based on this alone, we can conclude that this person has a kind heart and is a good person.

Chu Wanying was confused by the way these two people talked in riddles.

But fortunately, she was not stupid, so she knew that Rong Zhan must have guessed that this young man was reliable.

Since he believed it, she believed it too.

"Okay! My husband will naturally believe you, so there must be a reason for it. Just tell me whether you want to do this business or not!"

"You all said so. If I don't sell it, wouldn't I be ignorant?"

After paying the money and leading the two horses to leave, the horse dealer shouted from behind, "By the way, I haven't said where I live yet? How are you going to find me in a month? Or you can tell me

It doesn’t matter where your home is!”

Rong Zhan smiled and patted the old horse beside him on the head, said only four words, and walked away.

After hearing this, the horse dealer suddenly realized and slapped himself in the mouth.

How could he forget such a simple truth as an old horse knows his way?

"See you in a month then!"

He put down his raised arm with a smile and looked in the direction where the two left, thinking that this man had extraordinary bearing and would definitely make a difference in the future.

It would be a great thing if we could become friends in the future!

——————

The old horse has poor physical strength, but its endurance is amazing.

When Chu Wanying was tired, it was nice to take a rest on the horse, which would not hinder her schedule.

The man never rested and only led the old horse to one side.

She didn't ask any questions along the way, and he didn't explain.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention what happened just now.

After walking for a while, she took out a few buns stored in the space, handed them to the man and said, "I just bought them, and there are still six left, so hurry up and fill your stomach!"

The man took it as instructed, touched it warmly, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where did you hide it? Why is it still warm?"

Of course, Chu Wanying couldn't tell the truth to him, so she had to joke that her body temperature was different from ordinary people, and laughed away the matter.

Rong Zhan was sitting on the horse, eating steamed buns, when he suddenly heard some movement in front of him and hurriedly made a gesture to stop the horse.

"What's wrong?" She looked around warily.
