lying down

The sun's feet are shimmer and red, and the thin frost is not sold under the cinnamon sticks.

On the official road, one horse, two people.The former leaned slightly, controlling the reins to choose the way; the latter was too tall, even if he bent over and retracted his chest, he was still a head taller than the former.He rolled up his sleeves with both hands, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and fastened the hat on his head tightly, almost covering his eyebrows and eyes, leaving only a straight but red nose exposed.

"Brother Qin, are you 28 today?!" Ouyang leaned forward again and shouted.

Qin Feng didn't turn his head back, straightened his body slightly and replied loudly: "It's 28, but it will definitely be in time for the New Year's Eve! We can see our Jinyang City after going around a few hills!"

As soon as Ouyang heard it, he regained his energy, wiped the snot from his nose with his blood-stained tattered sleeves, and took advantage of the opportunity to push his hat that was too low, looking forward with his tired eyes mixed with bloodshot eyes, as if the Jinyang City is right in front of you.

The two of them had already traveled for six days, driving for an hour a day, and their spirits were exhausted, but they felt like a fire of coals in their hearts, the more they ran, the more prosperous they would be, the closer they were to home, More homesick.

Taking advantage of the wind, Ouyang sticks out his tongue to lick his chapped and sore mouth, thinking of his long-lost stepmother, Goro, Qilang, Ge Ye, sister-in-law Qi... and that playful little girl Xia He .He closed his eyes again, let the postures of the people in his memory flash in his mind, and he couldn't help giggling.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly. He heard the guy behind him giggle countless times along the way, which was far from the resolute and courageous Ouyang in his impression.

The big green horse galloped on all fours, with white sweat all over its body, which shone brightly under the winter sun. It seemed to know that the new owner and the other guy were eager, and ran away desperately.

There was a "jingle" sound not far ahead, and the two leaned forward to see that it was a mule cart full of New Year's goods. A wake-up bell was hung on the mule's neck. The whip eagerly urged the old yellow mule to move forward.

Ouyang's sharp eyes saw that there were so many things on the car, such as food, things to wear, things to wear, things to play with, things to offer, dry things, fresh things, raw things, cooked things, etc., he couldn't help but smack Smacking his lips, he sighed secretly that the old man had all the new year's goods.

With a move in his heart, he hastily stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Feng's arm: "Stop, see if the old man's New Year's goods are available for sale, let's buy them back and use them."

Hearing this, Qin Feng hurriedly pulled the reins, and the big green horse was pulled while galloping, and it was "Herod" who stood up. Ouyang hurriedly supported the green horse's thick back pad with both hands, and a kite turned over and jumped off the horse lightly. Come.

The old man driving the mule cart had heard the hooves of the horse behind him before, but when he got closer, he heard a deafening neighing. He turned his head and saw: a young man covered in rags and blood was rushing towards him.

"It's broken!" The old man was taken aback, spat out the dried fruit he was chewing, whipped the mule's buttocks and rushed forward, praying to Avalokitesvara, the Jade Emperor, and even the kitchen god Land from time to time in his heart to bless himself nothing.

Ouyang Yu jumped off the horse and saw the old man's actions. Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. He shouted: "Hey, brother, what are you doing? Can you sell your New Year's goods?"

When the words "brother" and "sell" came, the old man stopped unconsciously, turned his head and glanced at the two young men behind him, but he didn't see them chasing him, and he shouted suspiciously: "You want to buy new year's goods? Why are you doing this?" How about it?"

Ouyang looked down, he had long forgotten how poor he was, and with wolf blood all over his body, it was no wonder that he ran away, feeling that he was a bandit who was blocking the way and robbing money!

He took off his hat, put on a long-lost "throb" smile on his face, walked slowly towards the old man, and said loudly: "Brother! I have encountered wolves twice, otherwise how can I get out of it?" How do you feel like this? Don't worry, I just came home late, and it seems that the New Year's Eve is only two days away, and I want to buy new year's goods, so I got off the horse to ask you because your things are neatly planted!"

The old man murmured, he probably didn't believe that the two of them could come back alive after encountering wolves, but seeing the innocent smile on the young man's face, he believed his words half or six, slowed down slowly and waited for the two of them to come over.In fact, he didn't know that this young man could show such a harmless smile even when he saw a villain.

Ouyang and Qin Feng looked at each other and smiled, and led the horses away.

"Brother, this isn't a New Year's gift for your family, is it? How about selling it to me?" Ouyang stepped forward to look at the New Year's gift, which is considered a good item for ordinary people.

The old man took out another piece of dried fruit from his pocket, threw it skillfully into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Little brother, you have good eyesight. I found this fruit after searching all over the place. I wanted to sell it a few years ago." The price is good, so I’ll go home and wait for the New Year’s Eve. Look, there are smoked leg of lamb, smoked fish, air-dried duck, wild pheasant, as well as Xingyang Tukuchun, Jiannan Shaochun, Yicheng Jiuyun, and Shrimp Mausoleum. Lang Guanqing..., water milled rice cakes, sugar rice cakes, cold bamboo shoots, magnolia slices, incense sticks, tin foil, door god paper, the kitchen god, and the children's playthings, over there, oil paint, sand, touch silk, Walking horses, kites, scorpions, playing cards, round chess, pictures of promotion, Jiangmi people, Taiping drums, calabash..."

The old man reported everything as if he was reading homely, and Ouyang Xin admired the smooth words he read.

Ouyang stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Brother, it's okay, it's okay, I know your stuff is good, so it's all right. How about this, how much does this car sell for? Give me the number." He didn't want to choose one by one, or haggle over the price , Simply be generous and buy the whole car.

"What, what...what?!" The old man's face was dull, and the dried fruit in his mouth rolled out along the gap where his teeth had fallen out. One finger covered with earwax.He asked again: "Later, we people from Hedong (Shanxi) have been buying and selling since ancient times. We talk about a 'reputation'. Don't boast about it and go back on your word! The old man just heard you yell and bought it by a cart!"

Ouyang shook his head and smiled wryly, walked up to the old man and said loudly: "My dear brother, my dear uncle! I just want to buy a truckload of goods from you! I didn't lie to you, so let me give you a price."

With a sound of "gudong", the old man hastily swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, thinking that he must burn more incense for his ancestors after returning home, but this morning he was forced by his mother-in-law to burn three more sticks Xiang, and finally met a high-ranking customer.Otherwise, I have never met such a rich and powerful master in my life.

While thinking about it, he sat back in the car and crossed his legs. He felt relieved of the identities of the two of them, turned his eyes up, and went to calculate the price carefully.

Ouyang tugged at Qin Feng and said, "How about it, is this car enough to go back?"

"Why didn't I realize you're so stupid before? Did you buy a car? There are so many things that are heavy, why did you buy them?" Qin Feng turned his head and laughed with a look of "disdain".

"Hey, there's a saying in my hometown that'money is hard to buy, I'm willing'. Think about it, when I go back, my family, friends and brothers, even if they let me buy ten cars, I won't even bat an eyelid!" Ouyang is in a good mood. Regardless of whether he is heavy or not.

Qin Feng felt warm in his heart when he heard this. He has made countless friends in his life, how difficult is it to get one or two sincerity?

"Hey, young man, do you think this is good? This cart has both north and south, and it is a rare good thing. I am not greedy, old man, this amount!" Four finger gestures.

"400 taels!" Ouyang yelled lightly at first glance, secretly smacking his tongue and feeling pain in his flesh, he only had three ingots of ten taels of gold and some loose silver, which might be enough to make do.

When Qin Feng heard it, he couldn't help laughing, kicked Ouyang's ass with his foot, and said with a smile: "You are really...... Did you live in the past? Or were you born with a golden spoon in your mouth? Thanks to you I can shout it out! It’s about 40 taels!”

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the old man narrowed his eyes, smiled and nodded, "I don't dare to sell it for 400 taels. If you cheat people like that, you will be stabbed in the back. Our businessmen in Hedong are talking about reputation. I really want to sell you for 400 taels." Two, I can’t fall asleep even when I go back. Younger students, it’s 40 taels!”

Ouyang rubbed his head in embarrassment. He had never dealt with firewood, rice, oil and salt in his previous and present lives. He had no skill in valuation, so he nodded briskly and said, "Okay! Forty is forty!" .

The old man and Qin Feng laughed again, and the old man said: "Young man, this is not buying and selling in a store, I will only charge you when I deliver it to your door!"

Ouyang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed...
