lazy tang

Chapter 18

Qin Qiong has just recovered from a serious illness, and his bones have not fully recovered.The sun warmed my whole body, and last night I was worried and didn't sleep well.He leaned against the wall and dozed off. He never expected that at this moment, the always obedient Huang Puma would cause trouble.

The sun is rising, and the people in the cattle and horse market are gradually thinning out.Not far away came an old man carrying a load of firewood.There is still a bottle of oil hanging on the burden, and it is early summer.There are still green leaves hanging on the firewood.

Ever since Qin Qiong owed the restaurant bill, Wang Xiaoer has not been serious about feeding fodder to Huang Puma.Last night, I only fed some grass and no beans at all.At this time, the sun was three poles high, and Huang Puma was already hungry.Seeing green leaves nearby, he immediately broke free from the rein and went to eat the green leaves on the firewood.After three tugs and two tugs, the oil bottle was knocked over and smashed to pieces on the ground.

The old man carrying the burden was about to go shopping when he heard the sound and looked back.But when he found that his oil bottle was broken on the ground, the old man immediately became furious.Pulling the reins of the yellow puma, he yelled loudly about whose horse it is.

How could the yellow puma be willing to give up when a stranger held the reins, and gave a fierce struggle.The old man suddenly fell into a rolling gourd, which not only scattered the firewood.There was also a big cut on the arm, and the gurgling blood immediately flowed down the wound.

Now the cattle and horse market is lively, and those cattle and horse brokers have been waiting to see Qin Qiong's jokes.Now that the skinny horse hurt someone, a crowd of people rushed up to uphold justice.Considering the factors that they couldn't beat, they chose to support the old man more spiritually, and ruthlessly criticized and flogged Qin Qiong in public opinion.

Qin Qiong was soundly asleep, but unexpectedly wanted to be woken up.Taking a closer look, he saw an old man with blood on his arm, holding on to the reins of the yellow puma.When someone next to him told what happened, Qin Qiong felt bad.

A bottle of oil is nothing, the point is that the horse hurt people.Fortunately, the yellow puma was not well fed.Otherwise, if the bowl-sized hoof hit the old man, he would have to kick the old man to death.

Qin Qiong hurried up to the old man, clasped his hands together and said, "Old man, I'm sorry! My horse is not tied properly!"

"Your horse? This man, don't look at you as a tall man. But the old man is not afraid of you. Your horse hurt me today. You have to pay me for this bottle of oil, and more. Look!" The old man held his hand Passing the upper arm to Qin Qiong's eyes, he saw that the inch-long wound was still bleeding freely. "The old man chops and sells firewood for a living. If his arm has been injured for a while, he can't do the work. You have to pay for the lost work these days."

Eat melons, eat chicken legs, eat durians... The high-quality uncensored crowd immediately clamored, yelling loudly at Qin Qiong.Although no one dared to stand up and scold Qin Qiong, they must exert the greatest pressure on Qin Qiong in terms of public opinion.

Qin Qiong is not an unreasonable person, although he can deal with the "Four Tigers in the east of the city".But for this law-abiding old man, he was unwilling to use violence.Besides, he didn't care about this matter, and smashed his oil bottle.Naturally, it should be compensated to others, because the horse injured their arms and they could not work.Naturally, compensation for lost wages is also required. Although the old man's words are a bit vulgar, the truth is still on his side.

Helpless, a penny can hold back the hero, if this kind of thing happened in the past.Qin Qiong will take out money without hesitation to understand the matter.But helplessly, now Qin Qiong's pocket is cleaner than his face.Not to mention lost wages, even the bottle of oil has no money to pay.Qin Qiong's head was throbbing with veins, and the people next to him were noisy.Anxious Qin Qiong screamed!
As soon as he called out, the surroundings immediately fell silent.All the people took two steps back quickly, for fear that Qin Qiong would rush forward in anger.Seeing Qin Qiong roaring, the old man sat down on the ground in fright.His hands were tied tightly, and his mouth was so wide open that he dared not speak.

Enraged, Qin Qiong frightened the old man.With a groan in his heart, he immediately stepped forward to help the old man up.While beating the dust, he kept apologizing to the old man.The onlookers saw that Qin Qiong had no intention of beating anyone, and immediately clamored again.Qin Qiong glared angrily, and the clamoring voices of the onlookers immediately quieted down again.

"Old man, I was wrong about this matter. I am going to apologize to the old man!" Qin Qiong said while apologizing to the old man.

"Apology is useful, take money. If you don't have money, you don't want to leave today. If you can't do it, the old man will sue the officials. Our Mr. Cai in Luzhou is a well-known upright official, and we will definitely not let people like you go unpunished. "Seeing that Qin Qiong did not rely on strength to bully others, the old man immediately became more courageous.Holding Qin Qiong's arm and not letting go, it seems that if he doesn't lose money today, he really plans to sue the government.

Qin Qiong was dumbfounded when he heard it. He came to Luzhou to deliver official documents to Mr. Cai.If the officials knew that he was in such a state of desperation in Luzhou, what would he do in the future.But now, he really has no money to pay the old man.

"Old man, my money is indeed a bit tight. Don't talk about lost wages, even this bottle of oil. I, I... can't afford it!" Qin Qiong said helplessly to the old man in a low voice.

"You lied to me?" The old man didn't believe Qin Qiong's words at all, and held Qin Qiong's hand even tighter.Fearing that Qin Qiong would try to break free and run away in a hurry.

"Old man, if I'm really rich, I don't have to come out to sell the horse. If you don't go in, don't leave until I sell the horse and then return the money to you." After speaking, Qin Qiong pointed at the yellow puma.

"I said Old Su, he is lying to you. Three of his skinny horses will not be sold, pull carts, pull mills, and plow fields. He can only be a horse uncle when he returns home. Who do you think will Buy such a skinny horse and go back." A livestock broker who had long disliked Qin Qiong yelled loudly behind the crowd.

"That's right! Old Su, he hasn't sold the horse for five or six days. You wait for him to sell it. I'm afraid the injury will heal soon!" Another livestock broker also booed.

The high-definition and uncoded onlookers once again chattered, and now it seems that there are [-] ducks pouring in.It's so noisy that you can't hear the voice of talking at all!
Seeing this situation, Yunhao immediately squeezed out the crowd and came in front of Qin Qiong.He yelled loudly: "Shut up, isn't it just money? I gave it to Lord Qin, how much do you want?" Yun Hao pinched his waist with a dignified look, and Qin Qiong almost committed suicide.A piece of sallow lotus immediately turned into a bruised face.

When the onlookers saw Yun Hao coming out and claiming to lose money, they all stopped talking to see what old Su had to say.But the old Su head kept looking at Huang Puma with his eyes, looking up, down, left, right.After looking at it for a long time, he turned to Qin Qiong and asked, "Is this horse really yours?"

"This horse is a certain family's mount!" Qin Qiong said in his heart, if it's not mine, is it still yours?
"Huh? Is this weird?" The old man stroked his goatee, his expression serious.
