In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 30 Buying a Horse on the Black Market
Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Su Zhizhi was silent for a moment, playing with the thing in her hand, her eyes fixed on Xie Chengjin.
Xie Chengjin felt a little puzzled, and felt a chill down his spine from Su Zhizhi's gaze. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Su Zhizhi handed the jade pendant to Xie Chengjin.
Xie Chengjin was puzzled, but he took it anyway and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you short of silver? This thing can still be used as money. It can solve the problem at hand. Why are you giving it to me?"
"No, this thing is too valuable. I can't take it. You should keep it for yourself. Pawnshops aren't safe places. Some things can't be taken out once they're pawned. As for the money, I'll find another way."
After saying that, Su Zhizhi turned around and went back into the house, no longer paying attention to Xie Chengjin outside.
Xie Chengjin was silent for a moment, his grip on the jade pendant gradually tightened, and then he turned and left.
After returning to the room, Su Zhizhi quickly got into the universal capsule. She remembered that she should have put some gold in the capsule, but the amount might not be much, and she didn't know if she could find it.
Just when Su Zhizhi had almost turned the capsule upside down, she finally found the golden object under a pile of debris. It was a small piece of gold. Although it didn't look big, it was extremely rare.
A smile appeared on Su Zhizhi's face. After she put the things close to her body, she continued to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find some valuable items that could be pawned here.
In the end, Su Zhizhi really found a lot of things.
Seeing that the money was almost ready, Su Zhizhi came out of the capsule.
Seeing that it was still early, Su Zhizhi didn't tell anyone. She just left a note on the table in the room so that if anyone came to look for her, they could see it at a glance.
After leaving home, Su Zhizhi ran into Erya from the village at the entrance. After asking, she learned that Erya was going to the town. Su Zhizhi was delighted and said quickly, "Erya, I'm going to the town too. How about you take me with you?"
Erya hesitated, "But I don't know when I will return to the village, this..."
Su Zhizhi quickly explained, "I can go back to the village by myself, but it's too far to go to town. If I walk, I don't know how long it will take."
Hearing this, Erya nodded and said, "Forget it, then come up, it's just a matter of convenience."
When they arrived in the town, the two went their separate ways. Su Zhizhi wandered around the market. There were a few vendors selling horses, but she didn't like the ones that were within her budget. She thought the ones she bought were good, but she couldn't afford them, which made Su Zhizhi very depressed.
But when she inquired privately, she learned an important piece of information: there was a black market in the town, where people also sold horses, and the prices were not very high.
This news made Su Zhizhi very excited, and she immediately went to the black market. The entrance to the black market was very low-key, and Su Zhizhi had to ask for a long time before finding the place.
As soon as Su Zhizhi entered the black market, she met a horse dealer. She was very satisfied with the horses in his hands and asked the price nervously. After hearing the quotation, Su Zhizhi was still shocked. Compared with the horses in the market outside, the price dropped by nearly one-third.
Su Zhizhi was overjoyed and without bargaining, she immediately picked a dark horse that looked pretty good and paid for it.
When Su Zhizhi led the horse out of the town, she was still a little bit in disbelief. After buying the horse, she happened to have some extra money, so she simply prepared some saddle and other things, and then led the horse home contentedly.
As soon as they left the town, Su Zhizhi couldn't wait to get on the horse and try it out.
However, facing the tall horse back, Su Zhizhi was a little troubled. She was not tall enough, so she could only imitate the way other people rode horses in her memory and climbed onto the horse clumsily.
Fortunately, the horse was docile and Su Zhizhi climbed up without much effort. However, Su Zhizhi was a little overwhelmed below. On the way back to the village, Su Zhizhi didn't know how many times she fell off the horse.
By the time she saw the entrance to the village, she felt pain all over her body, so she simply got off the horse and limped towards the village, leading the horse. By this time, it was already dark.
Earlier, in the village, Xie Chengjin prepared dinner and wanted to call Su Zhizhi out for dinner. He knocked on the door, but no one responded. Xie Chengjin then pushed the door open and saw the note left by Su Zhizhi on the table.
Xie Chengjin was a little annoyed that Su Zhizhi acted on her own, but he couldn't go and catch Su Zhizhi back now, so he had to go and tell Meng first. After dinner, Meng followed Xie Chengjin and waited for Su Zhizhi to come back.
But as the sky gradually darkened, they still hadn't seen Su Zhizhi. Meng's heart tightened. She asked Xie Chengjin worriedly, "Where did Zhizhi go? Did she encounter any danger?"
"Don't worry, I'll go out and look for her. She should be here soon." Xie Chengjin comforted Meng a little, then he went out alone, planning to wait for Su Zhizhi at the village entrance.
Before he could wait for a while, Xie Chengjin saw a swaying figure appear on the road at the entrance of the village, followed by an unclear object.
Xie Chengjin went to greet them and found that it was Su Zhizhi and the horse he had just bought.
The first time he saw Su Zhizhi, Xie Chengjin frowned. He took the reins from Su Zhizhi and asked, "What happened? How did you get into this state?"
Su Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then she looked down at herself and said a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, I fell on my own. I'm not very good at riding a horse, and I always fall off."
After hearing what Su Zhizhi said, Xie Chengjin looked at the horse behind him. He was shocked at first sight. Su Zhizhi might not know much about this thing, but Xie Chengjin knew a lot about it. This horse was a rare fine breed. Not to mention in this small town, even in the whole country, it might be a top-notch horse.
Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with eyes full of inquiry and curiosity, but Su Zhizhi had already walked far ahead and did not pay attention to Xie Chengjin's gaze.
Xie Chengjin hurriedly followed and heard Su Zhizhi say, "Remember to put it away properly. I need to go back and take care of my things. Is my mother asleep?"
"He's already asleep, you..." Xie Chengjin responded subconsciously, but when he wanted to say something else, Su Zhizhi had already strode forward.
