Chapter 601: Horse Dealer
"Ah!!h Shi Po's exclamation broke the silence of Yunyang Town in the early morning, and even caused a large group of dogs to bark. For a while, Yunyang Town, which should have been quiet, suddenly became a chicken and a dog jumped, and many people who had already gotten up opened the door and looked out.
"Huh, what's going on?"
"I don't know, it's early in the morning, who knows what kind of fame it's doing."
"Why do I think this voice sounds a bit like the old king who opens and closes the door at the gate of town."
"Let's go, let's go and see. The old king got up early in the morning and didn't clean up himself, so he quickly opened the city gate, what the ghost was calling there? It's simply, isn't he going to change his career to singing, and get up early in the morning to hang his voice first? ”
A group of angry and angry people made a mess and walked towards the gate of the town, looking like that, obviously the old king must give them an explanation.
However, before they could take a few steps out, another exclamation came from the direction of the town gate, "Someone! Help me! Killed!! ”
At this moment, these townspeople looked at each other in a daze, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so they hurriedly ran in the direction of the town gate. On weekdays, everyone gets along very harmoniously, and most of the words that were said before were startled by the sudden shout of the old king in the morning, so they said angry words. Now that the old king is shouting so hoarsely, it is obvious that something is really wrong. In this case, the first instinct of the townspeople was naturally to hurry up and take a look.
Of course, in addition to caring about the old king, these people may not have curiosity and the desire to watch the fun, but they will not be so obvious.
However, just when the townspeople were halfway through the run, the old king had already rushed over from the gate of the town in a hurry. Not only did he run in a panic, but even the expression on his face remained extremely frightened, as if he had just seen something terrible.
"Old Wangtou, what's wrong with you? Early in the morning, what the hell? A middle-aged woman who looked to be about thirty years old looked at the old king's head, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
The old king gasped for breath, and if you looked closely, you would see that his legs were trembling now, and even his hands were trembling slightly with calluses and cracks. It was clear that he was in a very nervous state right now.
"You!" The old king gasped twice, and then scolded angrily: "I don't have time to argue with you now, you get out of the way, old man, I have to run there quickly." There are dead people in our town, and the corpses are still hanging from the big tree next to the city gate. ”
After speaking, the old king walked directly into the crowd, apparently intending to pass directly through the crowd. But these curious townspeople won't let him go so easily, and the old king just walked out two steps before a townsman grabbed the old king, "Hey, old king, what are you anxious about?" Who's dead? ”
The old king shook his head, trying to break free from the entanglement of this townsman, but he was just a ragged, skinny and dry old man, how could he easily break free of this strong and powerful young townsman? In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and say, "It's a horse dealer who sells horses." ”
The name of the horse dealer is called the horse dealer. Of course, this shouldn't be his real name, it's just that the horse dealer has been letting these people call him the horse dealer since he came to Yunyang Town.
It was six years ago that the horse dealers came to Yunyang Town.
Six years ago, the horse dealers were much younger than they are now, but they were also a lot more embarrassed. Lao Wang still remembers that the horse dealer, dressed in a leather robe that day, covered in blood, stumbled into the gate of Yunyang Town, and then fell to the ground. The old king went up and tried to help him up, but who knew that the horse dealer just struggled and shouted "There is a horse thief", and then fainted without saying a word, especially neatly.
At that time, there was no medical center in Yunyang Town, not even a barefoot doctor. Fortunately, a few townspeople who saw that the situation was wrong ran to the next town as soon as possible, and invited a barefoot doctor from that town to come and treat the dense knife wounds on the horse dealer's body, and bandage it by the way.
After waiting for two days, he woke up, and after his narration, the residents of Yunyang Town knew that the horse dealer had encountered a horse thief in the process of driving the horse, and more than a dozen high-headed horses were all robbed by the horse thief, not to mention, even he was almost hacked to death by the horse thief.
Since that time, the horse dealers have settled in Yunyang Town, although they are still selling horses, but they basically walk around Yunyang Town, and the horses they sell are also bought from the neighboring horse farms, which can be regarded as making a difference.
And, for all these years, the horse dealer has never said his name. Even when he was drunk and couldn't get drunk, he always called himself a horse dealer. In his words, he wants to say goodbye to the past and start his life anew.
Coincidentally, the house built by the horse dealer in the town was next door to the old king's house. So these two people drink together on weekdays, and they even get drunk from time to time. This came and went, and the relationship between the two people slowly improved. Although the old king also knew the cunning business that horse dealers occasionally did, in his opinion, it was the nature of people to chase fame and fortune, as long as they didn't go too far, it didn't matter. Besides, he looks at the horse dealers quite pleasing to the eye, and the horse dealers are doing this against those people in the rivers and lakes who pass by, so why should he bother to deal with the horse dealers for a group of high-ranking people in the rivers and lakes?
However, it is also for this matter that the old king has warned the horse dealers more than once. After all, if he continues to do this, he may be killed by a martial arts person one day. Unexpectedly, this time, the horse dealer actually had an accident.
"What!? The horse dealer died? Several townspeople cried out.
Of course, there were a few townspeople who had a slight knowledge of the horse dealer's work and smiled disdainfully, for them, the horse dealer's death was simply the perfect interpretation of the phrase "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil". Of course, they will only laugh at most, after all, the so-called "the dead are great", at this time, if you talk more, it is likely to become the target of others' accusations.
"Hmm." The old king nodded heavily, "His body is still hanging from the tree." ”
