Quick Wear: Reversing Life

After learning more about it, I realized that the 17th year of Qingde was three years ago, and the new emperor had ascended the throne for a year.

I didn’t expect that three years have passed in the mortal world.

It seems that the flow rates in the human world and the demon world are indeed different.

Originally, He Wan wanted to buy a horse in the village, but it turned out that there were only cows for plowing the fields in the village, not even a donkey.

When the old lady heard that He Wan wanted to buy a horse, she pointed in a direction and told He Wan that there was a small town a hundred miles away where there might be a horse market.

After thanking the old lady, He Wan followed the direction she pointed and walked for a long time before finally seeing the edge of the city.

There were no soldiers or officers checking documents at the gate of this small town in a remote area, so He Wan easily followed the crowd into the city and successfully bought a horse.

There is only one horse market in this small town. It is called a horse market, but it is actually just a relatively large stable with only four or five horses in it.

The owner of the stable was a lazy man who loved to eat and do nothing, and the stable was cleaned and taken care of by his wife.

After He Wan walked into the stable and took a look around, he found that the quality of the horses here was not very good and they were all in poor spirits.

The stable looked clean, but the trough was full of straw, not even hay.

You should know that straw can only be used to satisfy hunger and has almost no nutritional value.

It is said that poor people do not raise horses, and those who raise horses are not poor. Ordinary draft horses have to eat hay or grass, and then add millet, oats, soybeans and other nutrients to supplement nutrition.

The well-treated war horses in the military camp are fed corn every day to fatten themselves up, but the horses here only eat straw. No wonder they are all skinny and in poor spirits.

But He Wan needed a horse for her journey, so she picked out the best horse and asked the woman how much it cost.

The woman said, "This... twenty taels of silver."

Twenty taels of silver is quite cheap.

He Wan was just about to pay when the lazy man in the room heard her and threw the wooden ladle out: "What nonsense are you talking about, woman! Can you buy a horse for twenty taels of silver? It'll take at least fifty taels!"

The woman stopped talking.

He Wan glanced at the lazy man and said, "Then I won't buy it." Then he turned and left.

The lazy man saw that it was a young and beautiful lady, and he immediately smiled and stopped her: "This lady doesn't look like she is from here. What are you planning to do by buying a horse?"

He Wan said calmly, "Will you sell it for twenty taels?"

The lazy man frowned, "What do you know, young lady? This horse is a precious commodity. In the capital, it could easily cost over a hundred taels. How can you possibly buy a horse for twenty taels?! Besides, my family is the only one in the city that sells horses. You can't buy one anywhere else!"

He Wan sneered, "What's not expensive in the capital? Twenty taels might not be enough to buy something in other places, but your horse is only worth twenty taels."

Before the lazy man could lose his temper, He Wan pointed at the trough and said, "Who raises horses and only feeds them straw? Look at how skinny your horses are. If you keep going like this, all your horses will become extremely skinny. By then, you won't be able to sell any of them, and you'll end up with nothing but a pile of dirt."

This lazy guy doesn't look like someone who can raise horses.

Maybe this stable was bought from someone else, so they dared to ask for fifty taels so high.

Fifty taels is enough for an average family to eat for a year.

The lazy man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this young-looking man was actually an expert.

He Wan was too lazy to argue with him and turned around to leave. At worst, he could just walk to the next city on his own two feet. Even if it was troublesome, he could just treat it as a form of spiritual practice.

When the lazy man saw He Wan was about to leave, he immediately became anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, little lady! Wait, wait, wait--"

"The price is easy to negotiate, but twenty taels is too low. How about thirty taels? I'll also give you a set of top-quality saddles."

He Wan said, "Twenty-five. If you don't want to sell it, don't waste my time."

"Okay, okay, twenty-five is twenty-five!"

No one has come to buy horses for several months, and these horses may really rot in our hands!

The lazy man nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to take the chance anymore.

He Wan paid the money and took away a set of saddles, then led the horse out of the city.

She originally planned to stay in the city for one night, but seeing that the horse was too thin, she decided to take it out of the city to eat some grass.

She used her spiritual sense to investigate and found that there was a river a few miles outside the city, where the grass and water were quite lush.

It is April now, the season when grass is green and birds are singing.

He Wan tied the horse to a tree trunk and let it graze on its own, then sat in the shade and began to meditate.

After a while, He Wan felt that four small people were approaching here.

At first He Wan didn't pay much attention until the four people seemed to be coming straight towards him, muttering "It seems like they are coming in this direction", then He Wan opened his eyes.

It was getting dark at this time, a good time to do bad things.

"Well, did you really see her buy a horse?"

"Yes! I saw her lead a horse out of Luo Laoer's stable with my own eyes."

"How can a young lady like you have so much money to buy a horse? I heard that Luo Laoer's horse costs fifty taels!"

"Who knows? She's alone. There are four of us. Don't panic. The three of us will go get the money, and you go get the horse!"

The four half-grown teenagers were discussing their plan, but they didn't know that He Wan had heard everything.

He Wan sat on the ground without moving, and silently summoned the Yuhong Sword. When the four people approached, she swept the sword across, and the sword energy immediately cut off a tree.

The four of them were so frightened that they ran away while holding their heads in their hands, saying "Please spare our lives, Immortal!"

They ran a few feet away, and when they found that He Wan had not caught up, they stopped and panted. The next second, He Wan's ethereal voice rang in their ears:

"If you commit such evil deeds again, I will cut the four of you into pieces!"

The four young men had been thieving and cheating all the time, and now that they had hit a wall, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "I won't do it again, I won't do it again, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

He Wan still stood there, watching one of the boys wet his pants, and then he looked away.

...

After that, He Wan meditated all night without being disturbed.

When the sky was bright, He Wan shook off the night frost on his shoulders, rode his horse in the morning dew and embarked on his next journey.

In this way, he traveled during the day and meditated on the ground at night, passing through one village and town after another.

Under her care, the horse grew stronger. Although it was not a famous horse, it was very smart. Even if He Wan forgot to tie it up, it would stay within He Wan's sight and eat grass quietly.

Along the way, He Wan also encountered criminals such as gangsters and bandits. She took care of them all and threw them in front of the government office.

He Wan rode his horse during the day, and at night he found an open-air environment to meditate and absorb the power of nature.

We kept going and stopping until we finally reached the last town on the route three months later.
