Chapter 49 Buying a Horse, Encountering Black Wind Again
The shopkeeper who brought them to see the horse looked embarrassed. He cursed and told the horseman to go about his business.
He bought the horse at a low price, less than five taels of silver. It looked like a purebred horse, and he thought he had gotten a great bargain for such a small amount of money. However, who knew that the horse had never behaved well since the first day it was imprisoned, either kicking people or kicking doors.
He was a horse lover and he couldn't bear to kill such a good horse.
People who came to buy the horse just took a look and left. They had no ability to tame such a ferocious horse. If they fell down, they would at best break bones, and at worst die.
That's why it has been kept until today.
Jiang Shian thought that it seemed that the last horse in the stable was also lost.
When I turned my head, I saw the man's eyes fixed on the black horse inside. He stared at it without blinking, his eyes full of shock and surprise.
Ji Yinghuai stared at the horse in the door for a long time without coming to his senses. He never expected that the horse inside would be Heifeng.
He actually saw the Black Wind here, which had followed him for several years, went to the battlefield with him to kill enemies, experienced countless life and death experiences, and saved his life.
He thought, thought...
The shopkeeper knew something was going to happen when he saw the expressions on the two men's faces. He no longer looked sad, but instead put on a flattering smile and introduced the horse to the two men, saying, "This horse is a good one. Sir, don't be fooled by its fierceness. This kind of purebred BMW is not easy to find in this town. It's hard to find someone who understands horses even if you spend a fortune on it."
Jiang Shian looked at him with a smile and deliberately asked, "So, shopkeeper, how many thousand gold are you planning to sell for?"
“Haha…” the shopkeeper waved his hands quickly, “You’re joking, little brother, but this horse and I have a special connection, and it’s indeed a good one, so the price will naturally be…” He spoke while looking at the expression on Jiang Shian’s face.
Just now they were hoping that someone would buy it as soon as possible, but now that they saw that Ji Yinghuai liked it, they really wanted to take advantage of them.
Jiang Shian found it a little funny, so he deliberately pulled Ji Yinghuai's sleeve and said, "I think it's quite fierce, why don't you just forget it, in case you get hurt accidentally when trying to subdue it."
Ji Yinghuai came back to his senses, glanced at the hand that was pulling his sleeve, and caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper next to him with his eyes rolling and a calculating look on his face. How could he not know what the other person was thinking?
To him, Heifeng was like a brother who accompanied him. He would not sell him no matter how much money he was offered. Similarly, he was willing to pay any price if he was asked to buy him.
But now is different from the past. He retracted his gaze from Heifeng and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say. We still have two horse shops to visit. If nothing works out, we can go and see if there is a suitable one tomorrow."
After saying that, the two of them planned to go out.
When the shopkeeper heard that the two men were not going to buy it again, he became anxious and said hurriedly, "Sell it for ten taels of silver."
"I think you two have a connection with this black horse. Why don't you take another look? I'm not lying. You can see that this black horse has shiny fur, a strong build, and powerful limbs. It will be no problem for you to ride it alone or pull something." The shopkeeper looked at the two men expectantly.
The horse is a good one, but it has been in the stable for almost a month and no one has bought it. It kicks people when you give it some food. He really can't afford to keep it, but he can't lose money. So he gritted his teeth and said to the two people.
Jiang Shian glanced at Ji Yinghuai, who nodded slightly to him.
It seems that Ji Yinghuai has chosen this horse. Since he has chosen it, taming it should not be a problem.
He had given the twenty taels of silver ingot to Ji Yinghuai in the morning to buy a horse, and now he had saved ten taels of silver.
The shopkeeper held the twenty taels of silver ingots and looked at the two people with a complicated expression. If he had known, he would have asked for more. They looked ordinary, but he didn't expect that they were really rich and would spend twenty taels of silver ingots.
In their town, only passing merchants who are generous and willing to spend money can be seen with twenty taels of gold ingot. Otherwise, it is rare to see even ten taels of gold ingot on ordinary days.
There was no need for the shopkeeper to call for help. Ji Yinghuai walked directly into the stable and walked out holding the horse's reins.
The dark horse, who had been kicking people angrily just now, was now extremely quiet, and even rubbed his head against the man's back in a somewhat intimate manner.
When the shopkeeper escorted the two to the door, he said to them with a bitter face: "Welcome to come again next time!"
Jiang Shian looked at him with a smile on his face. After walking a distance, he approached Ji Yinghuai and asked, "Did we trick him?"
Ji Yinghuai raised his eyebrows. It was not a case of cheating. The horse originally belonged to him. He had compromised with ten taels of silver. He must have sold it to the shopkeeper at only half the price.
When Jiang Shian heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense and stopped worrying about it.
He was not bothered by the price, but by other things: should it be a carriage with a carriage, or should it be like the ones in the village?
The horse-drawn carriages in the village are definitely cheaper and can carry more things, but they are not windproof when it is cold, not to mention rainy days.
Ji Yinghuai stroked the black horse's neck with one hand, and after hearing what he said, he said without hesitation: "Of course it is more convenient to bring a carriage. Let's make the inner wall bigger so that we can put more things. If we need to travel in a hurry, we can rest directly in the carriage."
When winter comes, he often runs back and forth between the village and the town. He doesn't mind it, but the young master will definitely not be able to stand it.
There is a special place for custom-made carriages. This is not difficult and can be made in most carpenter shops. Carpenter Yang has been busy working on toothbrushes and toothpaste these days, so we won't let him work on this.
The two of them went to a carpenter's shop and told him their requirements. It was no different from the usual ones. Jiang Shian just asked the carpenter to make the inner wall of the carriage a little bigger.
The carriages in these places were also made of wheels, planks, and wooden strips. It was not a complicated job for a carpenter, so he agreed to let the two of them come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
The carriage cost three taels of silver. The two of them paid a deposit of two taels, and the remaining one tael would be paid when they came to pick it up tomorrow.
Looking at the tall black horse beside him, Jiang Shian said, "So what should we do tonight? How about you go back and I'll stay in town for one night."
It was already completely dark now. If he walked back, it would take an hour and a half. He really didn't want to be tired anymore.
A night in the inn in town costs only ten cents, which is enough for a set of tooth powder. It is better to stay in town, so that I can go to the shop tomorrow morning.
Ji Yinghuai frowned. He was a little worried about leaving the boy alone in the town. Besides, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
He pretended to be hesitant and said, "We didn't have time to release the little wolf cub back to the mountain this morning, and it's still locked in the house. Shi An, don't you want to go back and take a look?"
He paused, holding the reins of the horse and handing them to Jiang Shian, "Look, this horse is quite gentle. This horse and I have a deep connection, but I don't know how it ended up in the horse market. If you don't mind, we can ride back directly later. It won't take even half an hour."
Jiang Shian was a little excited. He had never tried riding a horse before.
Thinking of the little wolf cubs at home, the two of them went out in a hurry in the morning and did not have time to send the little wolf cubs back to the mountain.
He left the wolf cub in the yard, fearing that it would be too hungry and go catch chickens and ducks, so he left it in the house.
I roasted two sweet potatoes in the stove in the morning and left a bun for him. He must be starving after a whole day.
but…
He looked at Ji Yinghuai. Didn't he always think of the difference in status before? It's not good for these two to ride on the same horse.
Ji Yinghuai seemed to see what he was thinking. He coughed, left his sight somewhat unnaturally, and said, "It's dark now, and I won't meet anyone on the road. I won't cross the line."
"Oh." Jiang Shian nodded. He dragged him to a nearby restaurant and said, "Let's go eat quickly. There will be a curfew in the town soon."
