Back to the Countryside

Chapter 3 Buying a Cow

After eating, Qi Yue went to the backyard to lead Mu Yan and put the saddle on him.

He planned to go to the town to buy a cow and come back. Naturally, Mu Yan would not really let Mu Yan do the plowing. It would be fine to ask him to pull a cart. If he really wanted to let him pull a plow, he might not even give him a cart He pulled.

People in the village usually take two hours to go to the town by bullock cart, and four hours to go back and forth, so they usually have to get up early, or it will be dark before they come back, which may be unsafe.

But with Mu Yan's footsteps, it only takes half an hour.

When he arrived in the town, Qi Yue went directly to the livestock market without delay.There are too many livestock, and the smell must be unpleasant. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and quickly searched for the location where the cattle were sold.

Originally, he planned to ask Lin Sheng, if anyone in the nearby village wanted to sell cattle, he would lead them back.Later, I thought that now is the time for farming, and I am afraid that no one will sell cattle at this time.

Even if some are sold, they are also calves, and those who can work must be kept for their own use.

As for renting someone else's house, he thinks it's too much trouble, why not just buy one, it will be used in the future anyway.

Qi Yue quickly found a place to sell cattle. There were both calves and mature cattle. He picked a healthy looking cattle and paid the money readily.

After leading the cow out of the livestock market, Qi Yue took a few deep breaths. The smell of all kinds of feces in the market is really uncomfortable!

He bought all the things at home yesterday, and there are no shortages for the time being, so he didn't plan to go shopping any more. He was going to pick up the horse at the entrance of the town and go straight back to the village.

"Miss beware!"

As soon as Qi Yue walked on the main road, he heard a cry of surprise, and then a figure fell towards him, and he subconsciously turned to one side, and the man fell to the ground with a "boom", and let out a cry of pain!

"Miss, are you alright?!" A little girl hurriedly squatted down to help her up, nervously checking if she was injured anywhere.

"What's the matter with you?! Seeing Miss Ben fall, how dare you..." The girl who fell on the ground scolded as soon as she was helped up, but stopped when she saw Qi Yue's face. The expression on the face is also stupefied.

Qi Yue smiled, cupped his hands at her, and said: "I'm really sorry, when I saw something upside down, I subconsciously avoided it, I didn't expect it to be a girl."

Seeing him smile, the girl's face was instantly stained red, and her demeanor became awkward, "It's the little girl who stepped on the corner of her skirt and didn't stand still, it has nothing to do with the young master!"

The little girl beside her looked at her in surprise, then turned her head to look at Qi Yue's face, her face also blushed, but she knew in her heart that her young lady might have taken a fancy to him, right?

"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave!" Seeing her acting like this, Qi Yue understood what she was thinking, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he planned to leave directly.

"Hey, my lord, just now the little girl frightened you, I wonder if you can tell me your name, so that the little girl can invite you to the teahouse to express your apology?" The girl stopped in front of him, her eyes full of beauty Looking at him expectantly.

A hint of impatience flashed in Qi Yue's eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "I have never been frightened, so I don't need to drink tea. I am just a countryman, so I dare not delay my lady's time."

"I don't want to delay what you say, the little girl has never had anything important!" The girl twisted the veil in her hand shyly.

Although this person is dressed in ordinary silk robes and is leading a ox, he looks like a countryman, but his face is handsome and elegant, and his body and temperament are extremely good, not to mention the town, she has seen him before. Those rich young masters in the city had never had such a bearing, which really fascinated her!

The girl is fine, but I have something important to do, so I will leave now! "It's a bit rude to say it, Qi Yue has no intention of wasting time here with a young girl in Huaichun.

He pulled the rope leading the ox in his hand, walked around her and left quickly.

The girl still wanted to chase, but was blocked by a passing carriage. When the carriage passed by, there was no sign of Qi Yue, so she stomped her feet unwillingly!

When Qi Yue returned to the village, because there were more cows, his speed was naturally much slower, and it was already dusk when he arrived at the village.

Most people in the village had finished their dinner, and some women sat chatting together. Seeing him riding a horse and leading a cow, they asked him if he had gone to the town to buy a cow!

Most of them were elders, and it was not easy for Qi Yue to sit on the horse and answer, so he got off the horse.

Although he didn't know these people, they were all from the village in the future, so he couldn't ignore them. "Tomorrow, I have to hurry up to plow the land, so I brought a cow back."

"It's okay to use horses for farming. You just bought a yard. Even if you have a lot of money, you should use it sparingly!" A woman of some age advised, thinking that he was young and spent too much money. What can money do?

"Hey, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. Since people spend them, they naturally have some in their hands, so there is no need to be frugal!" Before Qi Yue opened his mouth, another woman opened her mouth in a strange way.

"It's from He Tian's family!" The woman who spoke first was immediately annoyed, she crossed her hips and wanted to curse back, but was persuaded by the people around her, and it was too ugly to quarrel in front of a new kid .

"How old is this kid? It's really rare to be so promising!" In order to ease the atmosphere, a woman changed the subject.

It was not easy for Qi Yue to speak like they were just now, but at this moment, he just followed suit, "Two out of twenty!"

"At this age, have you never married a wife?" After asking this question, it was obvious that everyone around him was very interested, and all their eyes were on him.

Men usually get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they will get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Girls and brothers will get married earlier, and they will get married at fifteen or sixteen. For example, Lin Sheng, who lives next door to him, is married. They are all six years old!

Qi Yue lowered his head and smiled, "I've never met someone I like!"

That is not married!The wives who had unmarried daughters and brothers in their homes were overjoyed. This boy was handsome in appearance and rich in wealth, and he seemed to have a good temper. Marrying him would definitely bring him happiness!

"That's a coincidence, our brother is a good one, I'll let you meet later!" The He Tian's family immediately said with a smile on his face, as if he must like her brother.

"Heh, you're talking about Brother Ling, right? That's really good-looking and good-natured, and he can do all the work at home and in the field!" The woman who was choked by her before sneered, speaking meaningfully.

As soon as she said this, the faces of the people around her became a little strange, especially the woman who spoke, the mocking look on her face was very obvious!
