"Grandma," looking at the half-dead duck, Tu Gen was puzzled, "Why do you spend so much money on such a duck?"

"Shh! Don't ask..."

Not sure if the previous duck seller would come back, Shen Su'e held the bamboo cage with ducks in it and said, "Let's go shopping again. If there is nothing else to buy, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

The market is very large, connected by several streets, divided into poultry market, livestock market, game market, fruit market, bamboo market and so on according to the things sold.

The poultry market sells chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, piglets and lambs, the livestock market sells cows, horses, donkeys, mules, and the game market sells birds, snakes, pheasants and hares, hedgehogs, squirrels Such small game.

When Lingbao followed his mother to the intersection between the livestock market and game market, there was a commotion all around.

Some animals were surprisingly quiet lying on the ground, some curled up and shivered, some jumped up and down in the cage, extremely excited, and some showed fierce expressions, wishing to rush out of the cage immediately.

"Oh, what's the matter? What's the matter with this cow?"

"There seems to be something wrong with my mule! Ah! Are you crazy?"

The mule the speaker was selling was pure white, a very rare mule, and it was trying to break the rope like crazy.

The member of the production brigade who was in charge of selling it anxiously grabbed its tail and shouted, "Who will help? This mule is crazy!"

When he shouted in such a loud voice, many people persuaded: "Ah! You should let go quickly, this crazy mule can kick people, it hurts to be kicked by it."

"This is the mule that our commune party secretary asked me to sell. If it gets away, I have to pay for it. How can I have so much money to pay for it..."

Before he finished speaking, the mule really kicked him with its hind hoof, causing him to let out a cry of pain, and was forced to let go and sat down on the ground.

"Ouch!" He put his hands on the ground, unable to stand up in pain, begging, "Who help me catch that mule! Ouch, it hurts me to death!"

Seeing the mule rampage, no one dared to pull the reins. Accompanied by screams, everyone hurriedly dodged to the side of the road for fear that they would be injured.

Xiao Lingbao, who was standing at the intersection, remembered that he had released dragon energy to scare the ducks. He guessed that these animals became abnormal because of his own breath, so he hurriedly concealed the smell.

"Lingbao, come here!" Seeing the mule rushing towards her, Shen Su'e hurriedly pulled her daughter towards her, and stood against the wall with Tu Gen.

I thought the mule would run out of the market, but when it reached the intersection, it suddenly braked suddenly, its head was close to Lingbao, and its nose kept sniffing. After a while, it made a sound of "咴咴" .

"What are you doing?" Lingbao angrily said, "Go away!"

The mule let out a neighing sound with its big head raised, unwilling to leave Lingbao.

Lingbao shook his head, "No! I don't want you to follow me!"

"Hi-er, er... er..."

Lingbao lowered his head and sniffed himself, wondering if this mule has such a good nose?She had already hidden her breath, but it could still smell it?
Shen Su'e asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Did it say something?"

"Well, it said that Lingbao smells good, and said that it just opened its mind. As long as it follows Lingbao, it won't have to enter the animal realm in its next life. If it insists on following me, what should I do?" The little milk boy looked distressed. explain.

Her mother was surprised when she heard that, "What do you mean? Follow you, will this mule be a human in the next life?"

"Lingbao doesn't know..."

When the milk doll was talking, the mule seller walked up to them holding his waist, apologized and said, "I'm sorry, this mule didn't know what was going on just now, and suddenly went crazy, so I'll take it away, sorry Feel sorry……"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed the rein and tried to pull the mule away, but its feet seemed to be rooted, and it remained motionless.

"Go! Move your legs!" No matter how hard he pulled, the mule still didn't move. As he increased his strength, the mule suddenly raised its front hooves and made a threatening sound of "hissing". As if intimidating.

He was kicked by it just now, and his waist is still hurting, and now he is so scared that he hides back, "You, you... want to kick me again?"

Many people came forward curiously, and a person who was visiting the market knew the mule seller, and asked, "Zhao Erma, what's the matter?"

"I don't know, this mule doesn't listen." Zhao Erma was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, "Old Liu, go and help me call the rest of the production team. I can't control this mule. Let someone else pull it."

"Okay! Just wait, I'll find someone to help."

While they were talking, Shen Su'e looked at the mule for a while and saw that it was at least 1.7 meters tall, almost as tall as a horse, and looked similar to a horse, except that its ears were a little longer than a horse's and its hair was a little shorter.

"Young man, how old is this mule?" Shen Su'e asked.

Zhao Erma was frowning and worrying. He didn't expect someone to ask him a question. He was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "You're just five years old, you're still young."

"This is the mule of the production team, right? Why are you selling it?"

"Too stubborn!" Zhao Erma sighed, "Although this mule is stronger than a horse, has better endurance than a horse, and can run faster, it is too stubborn! It takes a lot of effort to let it do some work! It is so stubborn! If you don’t want to do it, it’s useless to whip it!”

The onlookers listened to his words, nodded in agreement and said, "Mules are stubborn, not docile like horses. We also have two mules in our production team. Serve them as if you were serving your ancestors. You have to coax them and make them happy."

"It's the same in our village. We don't need mules if we can use horses."

"This mule looks good," someone asked, "How much is it?"

As soon as he finished asking, the others laughed and said, "What's wrong? You still want to buy it? Didn't you see that this mule refuses to leave even a single step? What are you doing when you buy it back?"

"That's right, I was crazy and kicked people before."

All of a sudden, there were more and more disgusting voices. After watching the excitement, many people felt that it was meaningless and left.

Seeing a stall selling meat buns, Tu Gen tugged at his grandma's sleeve, "Grandma, there are meat buns over there, I want to eat."

"Didn't you eat pancakes in the morning? Are you hungry again so soon?"

Tu Gen covered his stomach, "I'm not very hungry, but I haven't eaten meat buns. Before, my father took me to the market and said he would buy them for me, but he didn't buy them in the end."

"It's not that your father doesn't buy it for you, it's that the meat buns want food stamps..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Erma couldn't help but interjected, "The meat buns in this market don't need food stamps, only the meat buns from the state-run breakfast shop on the street next to it, but the meat buns that don't need food stamps are not It's cheap, but it's expensive."

"Then I won't eat meat buns." Tugen said.

Seeing Tu Gen's disappointed look, Lingbao said, "Mother, let's go ask the price? Lingbao also wants to know how much a meat bun is."

"Okay." Shen Su'e nodded, and dragged her daughter and grandson to the booth, but within a few steps, the white mule immediately followed them.

Zhao Erma was amazed and pleasantly surprised, thinking that the mule's stubbornness was probably over, he hurriedly pulled the rope and said, "Your boy is moving."

As a result, the mule didn't follow him at all, but always followed Lingbao.

"Hey! What's your situation?" Zhao Erma scolded angrily, "You stupid mule, go to the right, where are you going? Hey!"
