Chapter 24
Xiao Ningxue squinted her eyes at the old horse, and said to Xiao Wenjie, "Brother Wenjie, I want to see that horse, just wait for me."

"Go." Xiao Wenjie smiled shyly, and parked the carriage on the side of the road.

He is eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and thin, and doesn't talk much.

The carriage I was driving was rented from Xiaoshan County, and it was also for the convenience of the family to buy and stockpile food. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Hai Guilan were holding on to their money bags and refused to take out any money, so the carriage kept idle. with.

Today, the patriarch spent a lot of money to buy a lot of food, and put it on the carriage to transport it back.

The carriage was full of rice grains, Xiao Ningxue sat on the shaft, she jumped off as soon as the carriage stopped, her eyes were fixed on the bay red horse all the time.

The horse looks ordinary, but the saddle on the horse's back is not ordinary.

The whole body is wrapped in black leather armor, decorated with armor plates on the front and back, and there is a scabbard hanging on the side, which looks like high-end harness.

Therefore, this horse is definitely not owned by the farmer who sells the horse.

The price of ten taels of silver was indeed cheap, and someone was tempted at the first glance. Before Xiao Ningxue could approach, an uncle took out ten taels of silver and bought the horse.

The uncle was very happy after he bought the horse. He pulled the rein and turned on the horse's back, wanting to show off by riding it.

It never occurred to him that before he could sit still, the bay red horse started kicking, and after a few jumps, the uncle was thrown off the horse's back, and his waist almost didn't break!
The uncle limped up from the ground, yelling in pain.

"Hey, it turned out to be an untamed old horse, no wonder it's so cheap, no no no, you have to refund the money."

The farmer also looked puzzled: "It's strange, the saddle is already installed, how could it not be tamed?"

In fact, he also picked up this horse by the side of the road. Seeing that it had no owner, he dragged it here.

The uncle rubbed his painful buttocks, with a dejected look on his face, "Then it recognizes its master, I can't tame it anyway, why don't you let others try?"

The farmer didn't dare to play tricks, so he had to return the money to the uncle.

Afterwards, several onlookers were gearing up and tried to ride, but unfortunately they were all thrown off by the bay red horse. One of them was unlucky and broke his arm directly. Who would dare to buy it now?
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the farmer hurriedly patted his horse's ass and yelled.

"Five taels, does anyone want five taels of silver? It's okay to use it to pull goods if you can't ride it?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the old horse kicked him on all fours, causing the farmer to scream in pain.

It's not too hard to kick, it's like "show mercy" like a human being.

Xiao Ningxue watched from the side and couldn't help laughing. Seeing the excitement was enough, she smiled and stepped forward to grab the reins.

"Master, I bought this five taels of silver."

Seeing this, the onlookers stepped forward to persuade him.

"You little girl, don't you think you have too much money? You can't even tame this horse, what are you buying it for?"

"You don't want to kill and sell the meat, do you? Horse meat is sour and unpalatable. It can't be sold."

"Little girl, don't waste that money, lest you go home and be scolded by adults."

Even the horse farmer couldn't bear to look at her.

"Little girl, no matter how poor the uncle is, he can't earn money from your ignorance. This horse is too wild to sell to you."

Xiao Ningxue scanned everyone around, and asked the uncle with a smile.

"Master, did you pick up this horse on the road of Taohua Village? If so, it is very likely that my husband lost it."

The uncle felt embarrassed when he heard it, scratched his forehead and nodded.

"Oh, that's true. When I saw it sniffing around on the side of the road, I thought it had no owner... I'm sorry, little girl, if it belongs to your husband, you can just take it back."

Someone next to him didn't believe it, "Little girl, since this horse belongs to your husband, he must recognize you, right? Pat its ass to see if it kicks you?"

Xiao Ningxue said, "Let me ride."

As a policeman in modern times, she naturally knows how to ride a horse. Besides, if she wants to verify whether this horse is the one Wu Chongwen lost, she must try it out.

Seeing Xiao Ningxue holding the reins and preparing to mount the horse, Xiao Wenjie was terrified.

"Sister Xue, please don't, you don't know how to ride a horse!"

Someone also kindly stepped forward to dissuade her, "Little girl, this is not a joke, it's dangerous to fall off a horse."

"Isn't it? Didn't you see so many people being thrown off their horses just now? Could it be that you are better than those men who can ride horses?"

Xiao Ningxue turned her head and smiled at Xiao Wenjie.

"Don't worry, brother Wenjie, I have learned how to ride a horse from my father, and I can ride it."

After speaking, he came to the front of the bay red horse, stretched out his hand to caress the hair on the horse's neck, scratched it with his fingertips from time to time, and then moved to the horse's ear.

"Hey Xiaohong, take a good sniff. Does your master smell on me? If so, then I will be your mistress from now on!"

"Your master Wu Chongwen is my husband now, he has to listen to me, and you have to listen too."

"If you dare to throw me off after a while, Wu Chongwen will take your skin and make boots for me!"

Xiao Ningxue coaxed and threatened the old horse, saying that animals can understand human nature after being raised for a long time, maybe they can really understand human speech?

Besides, her clothes were previously stained with Wu Chongwen's blood, if Wu Chongwen lost this old horse, he would definitely smell it.

Sure enough, after the old horse snorted a few times, its high head suddenly drooped down, becoming extremely docile, and even rubbed against Xiao Ningxue's body, with a look of intimacy.

Xiao Ningxue was overjoyed, it seemed that this old horse was most likely the one that Wu Chongwen lost, so she hurriedly rolled onto the horse's back.

As soon as she rode on, the old horse took small steps happily and completely regarded her as its master.

The onlookers were also dumbfounded.

"It seems that this horse is really lost by this girl's husband."

"Since this is the case, it must be returned to others."

"Yeah, return it to others, you can't take money from others."

The farmer scratched his forehead in shame, "You don't take it, you just ride away, little girl." How dare you ask for money?They would be grateful if they didn't charge him with theft.

After a pause, he quickly handed the bundle on his shoulders to Xiao Ningxue, "This bundle was originally hung on the horse's back, but there are only a few clothes and no money in it. I'll return it to you here."

"Okay, thank you, sir." Xiao Ningxue thanked him with a smile, and she had no doubts about him. He never lied from the beginning to the end, and was an honest person.

But what made Xiao Ningxue angry was that just as she stretched out her hand to take the burden, someone snatched it away, and then a shrill female voice raised her voice.

"Shameless bitch, how dare you snatch my baggage and my horse in broad daylight? Hmph, don't you want to be ashamed?"
