Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 29 (29) North Street Buying Horses

The afterglow of the sunset glow penetrated through the clouds, coating the bustling ghost market with a light blood red.

Noisy shouts and shouts came and went.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ou saw that Ji Chen had chosen an "old iron sign", which was rusty, ugly, and ugly.

He and the trader drew something on each other's hands, and gave ten taels of silver.

She instinctively felt that the peddler must have lost money, or the kind of blood loss. The peddler only sells something that the admiral would like. Maybe they don't even know what they are selling?

I accidentally thought too much, and hurriedly lowered my head to look at the things in Tanzishan.

Can't think about it anymore... It's not a good thing to know too much!
That's right, she doesn't know anything!
Ji Cheng looked at her, the face under the mask of the Immortal Crane, smiled, and said, "Is there anyone who is interested?"

"Not yet, let's have a look!" Xia Ou said with a lot of leeway.

Which woman does not like to buy, buy, buy?

But she has her own plan in mind, she wants money, and leaves the initiative to herself...

The two went to North Street again, strolling past the side where cattle and horses are bought and sold.

Because there was still light in the sky, the slaughter had not yet started, but because of years of slaughter, the land had turned dark red, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The old, weak, sick and disabled cows and horses were locked behind every vendor, and the killing began only when night fell.

It's more like a slaughterhouse than a bustling market.

Those cows and horses that were about to be slaughtered seemed to know what they were about to face, and they were all trembling with fear.

Xia Ou is a carnivore, but she has never even killed a fish. She glanced at the butcher knife on the chopping board, and felt a chill all over her body.

Ji Cheng squeezed her little hand, and said, "Hundred ghosts walk in the night, and some people get in it, and they never get tired of it. Thousands of people are busy in the city, and ghosts get in it, shivering.

Therefore, there are no people who are afraid of ghosts. It is not that everyone is an evil person, and it is not that all ghosts are evil ghosts. "

"It's the truth... People are three times afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven times afraid of people. The deep sea will eventually have a bottom, and people's hearts can't be touched by five inches..."

Xia Ou lowered her eyes slightly, under her thick long eyelashes, there was a slight shadow at the bottom of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Ji Cheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so he said, "Maybe [-] cows and horses will be slaughtered tonight. If the lady likes one, I will give it to you as my husband."

"You can buy live ones directly, why don't you kill them and eat meat?" Xia Ou cast a questioning look.

At this moment, she was extremely at ease in front of this dangerous man, and felt inexplicably that he was a good man worth entrusting to her for the rest of her life.

Ji Cheng's thin lips parted lightly, and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Xia Ou's eyes widened in disbelief, and Cherry's little mouth opened and closed, as if she couldn't believe the good news, even though the mask was on her face, it couldn't hide her surprise.

Looking at her expectant appearance, Ji Cheng felt as sweet as honey in his heart, and almost wanted to buy the whole horse market for the little lady.

But he still held back, and suggested calmly, "Ahem, go find someone with a head and eyes!"

"Okay!" Xia Ou's pupils shone like jewels, and he swept his gaze over one by one.

These cows and horses are old, weak, sick and disabled, even if she wants to save them, she may not be able to support them.

When Ji Cheng saw the little lady happy, his smile became stronger and his eyes shone brightly, but when she fell into loneliness again, his heart became blocked again.

He doesn't understand what's wrong with him...

The two of them stepped into North Street in their cloth shoes. They didn't speak any more during the period, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

Xia Ou looked at the cows and horses waiting to be slaughtered, and her heart was heavy. She thought that she would never eat meat again.

But she loves meat the most, and she has a temperament that doesn't like meat...

That's it!

At least, I will never eat the meat of cows and horses again!
Suddenly, her gaze stopped.

The little pony in the front left looked like it had just been born. It was covered in mud and was playing with a small flower in its mouth.

Xia Ou couldn't help but said, "Boss, your little pony hasn't been weaned yet, so why is it being slaughtered?"

"This little pony has a hare lip and can't eat milk at all. It just came into my hands this morning. Why don't you hurry up and eat fresh meat while you're still alive? Is it possible that the grandpa will take care of it and wear it in mourning?"

As soon as the horse dealer saw a woman, he spoke rudely.

"Whoosh!" A stone hit the horse dealer's knee, and he bent his leg, kneeling right in front of Xia Ou.

Ji Chen strolled forward and stood quietly by the side of Xia Ou. Under his half-drowned eyes, his eyes were as black as ink, like a dark night, and like a bottomless abyss. He looked at the horse dealer and said, "Since I don't know the rules, then I I will teach you!"

"Small ones have eyes but don't know Mount Tai. Please have a lot, my lord!" The horse dealer was stunned by this move, knelt on the ground motionless, and it took a while to react.

How can a man who can accurately hit stones on the acupuncture points of human legs with internal force be such a good stubble?

In the ghost market, it is simply too simple to want someone to disappear.

"Miss, are you relieved?" Ji Cheng asked softly.

Xia Ou tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Husband, I want this pony, okay?"

"Okay!" Ji Chen said to the horse dealer, "I heard it all, let's make a price!"

"Ten taels of silver... No, no, the villain will send you off as an apology to your lady." The horse dealer didn't dare to take it too seriously, he just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.

Ji Cheng took out a silver ingot and said, "This is ten taels of silver, take it!"

The horse dealer didn't expect this master to give him money, and after receiving the money, he quickly brought the pony over.

Because of the harelip, the foal couldn't suckle, looked very weak, and staggered when walking.

Seeing its appearance, Xia Ou felt very soft-hearted, and said, "Hey, only human cubs are the most useless. They can't do anything when they are born, and they are very fragile. Other animal cubs can run and jump when they are born..."

"Since the birth of grass-eating livestock, the first thing I learned is to save my life. How can I allow it to adapt slowly?"

Only then did Ji Cheng take a serious look at the pony.

Immediately, his eyes tightened!
He adjusted the mask of the Crane Immortal on his face, and glanced over again, only to see the little girl looking at the pony wholeheartedly, as if she was very happy.

He couldn't help hooking his lips into a dark smile.

Da Wanma!
The little girl's eyesight is really unusual...

He found a slightly clean piece of fur from the muddy pony and took a closer look.

From the coat color to the bones, they are all high-quality goods. When they grow up, they must be a rare BMW. A bold idea arises in his heart, but it is even more unbelievable...

In his previous life, his mount was the Dawan horse, commonly known as the sweat horse.

This horse is domineering by nature, shut it in the stable, the other horses are too scared to eat grass!

Facts have proved that the Dawan horse is indeed a rare good horse, and it can also be used for breeding and improving horse breeds.

But thinking about those things is too far away now, the pony has a harelip, I'm afraid it's not easy to feed, otherwise it won't be bumped into the ghost market to sell meat by mistake...

　Dawan horse [dà yuān mǎ] a fine horse produced in Dawan country in the ancient Western Regions.

　　"Historical Records."Dawan Biography": "Dawan is in the southwest of the Xiongnu... there are many good horses, and the horses are sweaty and bloody, and their congenital horses are also." Later, it refers to horses in general.
