The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 124 No Sales

After Jingli had eaten, she was stopped by someone while passing by the meeting hall.
This hall is where the whole village eats together, discusses matters, and where He Ziyu receives medical treatment. Next to it is a temporary school for the children.

There was no one around here. A few old ladies took advantage of the spacious space and sat around the fire, making clothes and chatting. The one who stopped Jingli was Old Mrs. Fan: "Why don't you sleep more? Look how tired you are. My little face has lost a lot of weight."

There was an unfamiliar woman next to Mrs. Fan. Jing Li looked familiar to her, but couldn't remember who it was, so she nodded vaguely in greeting.

"I've been sleeping until almost noon!" Jing Li asked Jing Dafu's family again: "How is Uncle Dafu's injury?"

Jing Dafu's family member held the soles of his shoes and said, "It's not a big deal. The lock was bandaged last night and Doctor He prescribed some medicine. I got up and went to the stable today."

"What? He's injured like that, why don't he take a good rest and watch the horses!"

Mrs. Ge twisted cotton to make cotton shoes: "Who are the people in our family? Don't you know, I don't feel at ease if I don't look at those livestock and vegetable sheds every day."

Su came in with firewood in her arms: "Have you eaten? Wan Baoquan brought people back to look after the livestock. What do you mean, there are too many animals. We are afraid that we won't be able to keep them in the winter. We will sell some and keep the ones for breeding." become!"

Jing Li nodded: "Grandma is right. They are all adult horses. There is no point in raising them except for wasting fodder."

"Grandma, auntie, you guys are busy first, I'll go take a look!"

"Go, go! You are restless too!" Jing Damei waved Jing Li away and continued talking to Wang Youcai's family.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year. Why would Wang Lizheng and his family go to the city to celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

Jingli looked at the people he met in front of Wang Youcai's family. It wasn't snowing this winter, so Wang Youcai and his son would not gain much if they went up the mountain. Seeing that the people in Jingjia Village were going out every day without fail, they followed him shamelessly.

The two of them are good at being good people, and they come over from time to time to give something to help.

Uncle Tiesheng and the others were too embarrassed to say anything, so they just turned a blind eye and tried their best to avoid the training location so that no one would notice them.

I got a taste of it right away. The people in Jingjia Village were really good at tracking prey.

One time, a bear was blinded. The Jing family was not that stingy, and everyone who saw it had a share. Wang Youcai also shared a bear's paw, and asked his second son to sell it in the city for three taels of silver. From then on, he treated the Jing family villagers more and more. admire.

His mother-in-law started hooking up with Jing Damei outside, and then she ran to Jingjia Village if she had something to do. She gave a few taros today and two Japanese melons tomorrow, and she became familiar with everyone while going back and forth.

"Every winter here we have Liao people and horse bandits causing trouble. His family goes to the city every year and waits for the Chinese New Year before coming back to worship their ancestors. They go back to the city on the first few days of the year and then go home again in the spring." Wang Youcai's family and everyone explain.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but ask: "You know that Liao and horse bandits come every winter, why don't you move?"

Wang Youcai's family sighed: "Auntie, who wouldn't think of what you said? It's just that our ancestors have been here for generations. In the past, the land on the other side of the river was also the land of our Dafeng Dynasty. Our ancestors were capable of being emperors, and our life was actually quite easy with the river and the mountains. "

"Later, the one above failed, and the other side of the river was also occupied by the Liao people. We are not as capable as you, so where can we go?"

Mrs. Ge and the others were silent for a moment. Yes, as long as you can survive, who is willing to leave your hometown to make a living and go to other people's land, and others will not like you.

Like when they first arrived, they were bullied by Wang Lizheng. If Jing Li hadn't been so stubborn, their life would not have been so comfortable. "How much? You give me 20 taels for a horse? Open your eyes and take a look. This is the Hequ horse from the Liao Kingdom. It is a war horse! Do you understand war horses?" Jing Dafu hung his arms and spat on the horse's back. .

"That's right, Brother Wang, we are friends, that's why I asked you to come, but the price you paid is really high." Wan Baoquan shook his head with a look of helplessness.

Jing Li looked on without saying a word, thinking in her mind that this horse couldn't be sold like this, it would be such a loss after going through life and death.

Shopkeeper Wang was also a little helpless: "Brother Wan, we don't talk secretly, and our dealings are not a matter of a day or two. I did make some money by selling your leather goods."

"I also know that this horse is a good horse, and I also know that the price is a bit low."

"But brother Wan, you have to know that ordinary people can't afford this horse, and rich families don't dare to buy it at will these days. We don't have anything to do with the army. To put it bluntly, if I take it and sell it, I can only sell it to a horse dealer and make a profit. Throw money around.”

Guard Shen pondered: "Brother Wang, please make this trip in vain. Let's do this. We won't sell this horse now. We have to open a pasture in spring anyway."

Shopkeeper Wang twirled his beard and nodded: "You are right to think so. Keep it for a while in the spring. Maybe the situation will be stable and you can sell it at a good price."

Wan Baoquan led Shopkeeper Wang away, leaving Uncle Tiesheng, Jing Dafu and Jing Li in the stable.

Jing Dafu said while adding fodder to the manger: "We worked hard for such a good horse for half our life. Forget it, I won't sell it. Anyway, when our little boy grows up, he will also learn to ride a horse. "

Jingli shook his head: "If you don't sell it, there's no point keeping it for the time being. We just have enough for our own needs. The extra month of forage and beans will cost a lot of money. Next year when we start ranching, we will mainly sell the horses we raise."

Shen Huwei also echoed: "The captain is right, there are so many horses, we can't make people poor in one winter!"

Jing Dafu was also worried when he heard this. The horse is a good horse. Shopkeeper Wang also made it very clear. The key is that there is no way to sell it!
"It can be sold to Chen Zhongyu. I heard that they have been purchasing war horses. Didn't Wan Baoquan have dealings with him? He doesn't know about this?" Huo Shen said lazily, leaning on the stable pillar.

Jingli and others looked at each other in confusion. Yes, Wanbaoquan had dealt with Chen Zhongyu before. How did he get the connections? They all got to know each other once and twice, and gradually everyone started to have a common circle.

Jing Dafu hurried out: "I will ask Quan Zi to go to the city and ask General Chen about his situation!"

Guard Shen nodded to Huo Shen and followed him out. For a while, only Jing Li and Huo Shen were left in the stable.

"Is there anything wrong with your health today?"

Huo Shen glanced at her sideways: "It's probably not a big deal if you bite your neck and suck the blood!"

Jing Li was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Aren't you feeling well? If you don't stay well in the snowy weather, why go to the mountains!"

Huo Shen snorted coldly: "If you don't go and take a look, you really think that with the people you trained, you can sweep across the grassland unscrupulously!"

Jing Li scratched her head, could it be that the training in the apocalypse could not keep up with the ancient times?Is it because my teaching is not good or is the method of the end of the world not suitable for ancient people?
That's what he said, but Huo Shen was actually surprised. These were all rural farmers. In just a few months, under Jingli's devilish training, they all had undergone qualitative changes as if they had been reborn.
