Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The first rain of the year came quietly in the middle of the night, silently nourishing the parched earth.

The sound of water dripping from the eaves made Mao Xiaosui, who was already sleepy and didn't want to move, find a suitable excuse.

She said to Li Ankang, who had already gotten up, "Go buy food by yourself. Mom doesn't want to cook."

Li Ankang agreed, and Mao Xiaosui sensed some joy in being able to buy delicious food from his reluctance to go to school.

Li Yunshan turned over and came closer to her. His voice was hoarse from sleep, and he asked vaguely, "Are we going to Su County in May or June?"

"Anything is fine." Mao Xiaosui also wanted to observe the business and wander around.

Li Yunshan said "Yeah" and said, "Then we have to buy a carriage as soon as possible. The carriage is not sheltered from the wind and rain, so it is inconvenient to walk."

"How much?" she asked.

"Sixty or seventy taels in total. The mules will have to pull things by then, so we still have to get a carriage."

Li Yunshan added, "This thing will be available in the future. The sooner you buy it, the sooner you will use it."

Mao Xiaosui had no objection.

The two of them lay down for a while before getting up. Li Ruyi squatted at the door of the side room and played with the water dripping from the eaves with her hands. Xiao Huihui squatted next to her and fawned over her every day for half a year.

Mao Xiaosui went to the hut, washed up, and prepared to cook.

Li Ruyi shouted, "I want to eat the rabbit meat that mom made last time."

Recently, rabbit meat is eaten on an iron plate, which requires fresh meat, so Mao Xiaosui said, "There is no more rabbit meat. I will bring it back to cook for you another day."

Li Ruyi grabbed Xiao Huihui and said, "Yes."

Mao Xiaosui sighed, "You can't eat that."

Xiao Hui ran to Li Ruyi and smelled Xiao Huihui, as if trying to save it.

Seeing Li Ruyi's unhappy look, Mao Xiaosui knew that she really didn't want to raise rabbits after Xiao Ruyi died, and she didn't regard Xiao Huihui as a pet at all.

I don’t know if Xiao Hui complained, but for the next half day, Xiao Huihui didn’t come near Li Ruyi anymore. Li Ruyi didn’t care and started playing with the sunspots.

Heizi is much smoother than before. He no longer feels like he has to take a breath for a long time after running two steps. He is either sleeping in the yard or among the flowers all day long.

The flower pole planted last year is already taller than her, and the flowers are generally red, but the colors are different shades. They are not very pretty, but at first glance, the yard is not so gray.

Li Yunshan lay on the bed after eating, and didn't go to the shop to find Qin An until the afternoon.

It had been raining all day, and the roads were all muddy with rainwater. There were no pedestrians in the town except for the shops that were open.

In the evening, Li Ruyi wanted to eat pork offal soup, so they went to the Zaxiang Meat Restaurant holding umbrellas.

There were two customers eating in the restaurant. Li Ruyi and Li Ankang had already run to the kitchen. After a while, Qian Lin came over with four bowls of offal.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "You are here too today."

Qian Lin nodded, "I just finished eating."

I put the food on the table and told them again before going home.

Mao Xiaosui looked at Li Ankang, who had almost buried his head in the bowl.

Although Li Ankang was quite serious, he was different from Qian Lin, who was bent on taking the imperial examination.

After dinner, they strolled back and the shop door was closed. When they entered the alley, they saw Qin An about to block the door. When he saw them, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let's go to a restaurant." Li Ruyi said immediately.

Qin An suddenly "tsk" and the door was closed in front of everyone.

Mao Xiaosui snorted and said to Li Yunshan, "This kind of employee should be deducted monthly salary."

Inside, Qin An cursed "profiteer".

—

The horses had to be bought in the county, and the two babies were left to the old lady to look after. The matters at the breeding farm were left to Zhao Hui, and the acceptance of the rabbit skins was left to Ding Pingshun.

Mao Xiaosui told him, "If you are not qualified, you are not qualified. Don't listen to what they say. If anyone wants to muddle through, just let them go."

"I know." Ding Pingshun said, "I am an adult."

Mao Xiaosui touched his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ding Pingshun was quite happy.

This time I went to the county with her, Li Yunshan and Qin An. Pizi took half a basket to use as samples. The most important thing was to buy a carriage.

The county is not far away by driving a mule, and you can arrive before noon if you set off in the morning.

Compared with the small town, Anyi County is much more prosperous. The streets are crowded with people and vendors setting up stalls are parked neatly on both sides of the road.

It was difficult for them to go shopping with their mules, so Li Yunshan skillfully took them to an inn.

The waiter at the inn skillfully called someone to take the mule and cart to the back, and invited them inside.

There were guests dining in the inn, and the waiter who greeted him politely asked with a rag on his shoulders, "Are you going to eat or stay in the hotel?"

"Stay at the hotel."

"Please over there." The waiter pointed to the counter.

They walked over and Li Yunshan said, "Come for two guest rooms."

"One coin for the second floor, three coins for the third floor, and five coins for the fourth floor."

Mao Xiaosui was not surprised. This is the difference between ordinary rooms, good rooms and deluxe rooms.

"Two days on the second floor." Li Yunshan handed him the money.

What he brought was broken silver. Except for Qin An, who was dressed like a servant, she and Li Yunshan were also dressed neatly and neatly. The shopkeeper hurriedly found some silver and asked the waiter to take them upstairs.

The inn is made of wood. When you walk on the stairs, you will make a dull "dong-dong" sound. There are many guests, and you can hear the voices inside the house in the corridor.

After taking them to the place, the waiter asked politely, "Would you like to take a hot bath and eat?"

Of course these are for extra cash.

Li Yunshan asked Mao Xiaosui.

Mao Xiaosui shook his head. On the way, they ate steamed buns bought in the town. It was not enough to wash them once a day. The furnishings in the inn were very simple, with a bed, a round table with a few stools, and a small Wardrobe.

They only brought a basket with rabbit skins on the bottom and a change of clothes on the top. They took the money with them, so Li Yunshan put the basket directly on the ground by the window.

Mao Xiaosui had already sat down at the table. He reached for the teapot on the table and found that it was empty.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter outside said, "I've brought you tea."

Mao Xiaosui thought the service was good and quickly went up to open the door.

The waiter put the new tea kettle on the table and took the empty one away.

The tea was still boiling when she drank it. She could not taste the good or bad taste of the tea. She just felt that the taste of the tea was a bit astringent, but it tasted better than boiled water, so she drank two more cups.

After squinting on the hard bed for a while, they planned to go out in the afternoon.

They were just wandering around today. Qin An didn't want to follow them so he stayed at the inn.

There is a place specializing in horse sales in the county, and the location is not out of the way. When the two of them went there, there were not many people. The clerk inside came up to him and asked, "Do you want to buy a horse?"

Li Yunshan nodded.

The guy immediately took them to the stables, where there were many horses. Mao Xiaosui saw one of them, a black horse with a long mane and a burly body.

Li Yunshan ignored it and pointed to the one in the corner.

The horses are all strong and strong, and they look good from the other end.

I heard the waiter say, "That horse is fifty taels."

Mao Xiaosui had been prepared for it for a long time and was not surprised. He pointed at the horse that she had chosen first.

The clerk smiled and said, "That horse costs eighty taels."

Mao Xiaosui thought that it was unfair to be squeezed in with such a high-end value.

There were a total of fifty-five taels including horses and carriages. After the handover procedures were completed, the people from the stables took them to the inn.
