"Master, do you want to buy a horse?" He greeted Guo Mo very politely.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, horses had been upgraded to "luxury goods", and usually a good horse cost 150 or more.

Therefore, those who dare to come to the horse market to buy horses are basically rich owners.

Although Guo Mo is in a hurry and is not short of money, he doesn't want to be slaughtered for no reason.

"I'll take a look around, do you have any good horses to recommend?"

Guo Mo pretended to be in a leisurely manner, looking east and west, but he didn't stop at one place.

"Yaren" kept smiling and accompanied him, "Master, you are asking the right person. There is no horse in Lin'an Horse Market that I don't know about. I promise to give you the most suitable horse at a fair price."

"It's not enough to talk about it. I want to find some horses with good endurance. The price is negotiable. I'm afraid you won't be able to get a good horse." Guo Mo said casually.

"How many horses?" When the "tooth man" heard it, he was a big customer.

"Master, if you say no, I'll take you there. There are some Mongolian horses in the west. Although they are shorter, they have the best stamina."

Guo Mo didn't expect that there were Mongolian horses sold in Lin'an Horse Market.

The characteristic of Mongolian horses is that they are relatively short, but their stamina is definitely stronger than other horses.

It's just because of the Han people's habit of "tall horses", which look stylish, but they are not very enthusiastic about this short Mongolian horse.

Following Yaren to a stable in Jinxitou, Guo Mo saw a dozen or so Mongolian horses tied there, but no one cared about them.

"Shopkeeper Liu, come out quickly, the big customer is here," the Yaman yelled from the front.

A middle-aged man in his 40s walked over from the side in the shade.

"Sanwa, what unreliable customers are you bringing over for your uncle?"

Shopkeeper Liu was quite familiar with Yaren, so he made a joke first, and then came to Guo Mo.

"Hello, guest officer. We only have short Mongolian horses here. Their stamina is good. If you want to buy tall horses, you have to go to another place."

Guo Mo was amused when he heard it. Is there such a real person doing business these days?

The toothbrush named "Sanwa" kept winking with shopkeeper Liu, wishing his eyes would fly out.

"Shopkeeper Liu, right? It's okay, I want to see the horse's appearance first."

Guo Mo thought that such a real shopkeeper would be nice, but before he saw the horse, he was not sure whether it was real or just pretending.

Seeing that Guo Mo really wanted to see the horses, shopkeeper Liu led the way, opened the stables, and the three of them walked in.

Guo Mo took a closer look. There were no horses that were too eye-catching, but overall, they were all good.

"Shopkeeper Liu, the horse is okay, please make a price, I'll listen."

Seeing that Guo Mo was really satisfied with this kind of Mongolian horse, shopkeeper Liu was taken aback.

"Guest officer, look at this. I will charge you a hundred guan for a horse. The saddle and stirrups are complete. They are all good for 'brushing, washing, drinking, and walking'. You can ride on the road, how about it?" ?”

Shopkeeper Liu asked for a hundred guan, which was a price of conscience, so Guo Mo didn't bargain with him.

"Shopkeeper Liu, as for the Mongolian horses, I want five horses, and I will prepare all the packages for me.

Settle according to the one hundred guan you said. "

After finishing speaking, Guo Mo took out a 500 taels of silver note from his pocket, handed it to shopkeeper Liu, and took out another five taels of silver to the man from Yaya.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't expect Guo Mo to be so straightforward. He happily took the bank note, checked the authenticity, and carefully put it into his arms.

"Guest officer, please wait a moment."

Then he went to the post where the horses were tied and untied the five horses.

From Guo Mo's point of view, these five horses are definitely the best among all the horses present.

It seems that shopkeeper Liu is grateful for his "generous spending".

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while, then returned to the shady place where he had been, and took some water bags and two big paper bags.

"Guest officer, here are five horses selected for you, I guarantee your satisfaction."

"It looks like you're on a long journey. Here are a few water bags, a big bag of biscuits and a big bag of cooked beef. You can take them with you on the way."

Shopkeeper Liu really knows how to do business, which is exactly what Guo Mo needs, so he took it over without any hassle. The cooked beef weighs more than ten catties.

"Shopkeeper Liu, thank you very much. I will pass by Lin'an another day, and I will come to your place to buy horses if necessary."

After speaking, without further delay, he put the food and water bag on the horse's back, rode on a Mongolian horse and left.

Back and forth, it took less than two quarters of an hour.

Back outside the horse market, everyone was almost rested.

Lu Chengfeng and Chen Xuanfeng went forward to pick up the newly bought horse, "Mongolian horse? That's right. Although this horse is not as explosive, it has the best stamina and is suitable for long distances."

"Black Wind Shuangsha" also lived in the desert, so Chen Xuanfeng could recognize it and was familiar with Mongolian horses.

Guo Mo distributed water bags and food to everyone, and each of them got a Mongolian horse, so he was ready to continue on his way.

Huang Rong desperately asked Guo Mo to eat something first, but Guo Mo had no choice but to kill a catty of beef and two biscuits, and poured half a bag of water.

When we arrived at Lin'an, we had traveled a little more than one-third of the journey.

Everyone continued to mount their horses, and nearly four hours passed in this breath.

I was hungry and thirsty on the way, and I didn't get off the horse. I just slowed down a little and solved it right away.

By the time everyone arrived at Zhoushan Wharf, it was almost midnight.

The real people are short of horses, except for the five Mongolian horses bought later, of the ten healthy horses brought from "Guiyunzhuang", only four are left.

"Rong'er, it's late at night, how do we get to the island?"

"Brother Mo, don't worry, there is a boat company I am familiar with in this town. They have a few boats that can sail at night, but the boat fare is a bit more."

Huang Rong led the way and came to a boat running business.

Even though it was so late, there was still a boy dozing off at the counter, it seemed that the business was really good.

Guo Mo stepped forward and knocked on the counter, "Hey, buddy, wake up."

The guy Mimihuhu opened his eyes, and saw five people coming in, a young man was talking to him.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I just passed by the lake. Uncle, do you want a boat?"

The guy hurried out from behind the counter, nodding and bowing to accompany him.

"Dude, can we still ship to 'Peach Blossom Island' now?"

As soon as he heard "Peach Blossom Island", this guy was completely startled awake with his little energy of being lost in the lake.

"Uncle, Uncle, please do me a favor. It is true that our firm has a 'night boat', but we dare not run away if you are going there."

This guy was so scared that he didn't even dare to say the word "Peach Blossom Island".

Huang Rong squeezed forward, "Dude, I know that the island is usually not allowed to pass by, but you don't need to be afraid, it's my home, and I'm coming home from another place, so I won't trouble you."

The man looked at Huang Rong, such a pretty girl, she doesn't look like a bad person.

"Then wait a moment, everyone, I'll go ask the shopkeeper for instructions."

After speaking, the guy turned around and went to the back.

After about a meal, the guy came back from behind, followed by a burly man.

"Who is going to 'Peach Blossom Island'?" the man asked while looking at everyone.

Seeing Huang Rong in front of her, she always felt a little familiar.

"Mengzi Zhang, you don't know me now that you've become a shopkeeper? Two years ago, your ship also went to 'Peach Blossom Island' to deliver things a few times."

"Hey young lady, so it's Miss, but I haven't seen you for a while, what is this?"

"I just came back from outside. It's not a good time. At this point, I have to come to you to find a 'night boat'."

"No problem, miss, wait a moment, I will arrange for you right away, and I will take you there in person."

Three years ago, this big boy fell into the hands of a purchasing manager in "Peach Blossom Island", and none of the deaf-mute people had any faults.

If it hadn't been for a coincidence, Huang Rong, who was only 14 years old at the time, probably would have fed the fish a long time ago.

He was an acquaintance even after coming and going, that's why Huang Rong came here to look for him so late.

In just a quarter of an hour, the preparations stopped, and everyone boarded a boat.

This tossed for a long time, and after midnight, a new day began.

"Miss, you know that the boat doesn't dare to go too fast at night. And this road is indeed not close. You'd better find a place to sleep for a while. It will take more than two hours anyway. It's dawn. .”

Huang Rong knew that Zhang Damengzi was telling the truth, no matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do.

Looking at everyone, they were all tired from the bumpy journey.

"Big... Elder Brother, Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, you should also find a place to sleep for a while. You don't know what will happen when you arrive on the island at dawn."

Chen Xuanfeng, who was originally exhausted, was moved to tears when he heard Huang Rong call him "big brother".

Nodded, didn't say anything, just looked for a place to stare.

Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng also walked away one after another.

"Rong'er, don't think too much, maybe your father has nothing to do, everyone is just a false alarm."

Seeing that no one was present, Huang Rong couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into tears with a "wow".

"Brother Mo, I'm really afraid that something will happen to my father. I haven't seen my mother since I was a child, and only my father takes care of me..."

The boat was walking slowly, Huang Rong was also chattering, and the two of them just cuddled in a corner of the deck of the boat.

Slowly, Huang Rong fell asleep, and Guo Mo kept hugging her gently.

The night was quiet, only the gurgling water, the starry sky, and the humid sea breeze.

Chapter 122 Bewitched

"Rong'er, wake up, we're here."

After sailing in the middle of the night, the sky has gradually brightened. Looking around, the eastern sky is slightly orange.

The speed of the boat accelerated, and the orange-yellow color on the horizon continued to spread, getting thicker and thicker, and the place where the water and the sky met had turned into a large area of ​​red and purple.

Huang Rong opened her eyes, Guo Mo hurriedly fetched water and asked her to simply wash her face.

Looking east, you can see a mountain, which is Anqi Peak, which is located on the "Peach Blossom Island".

It is the highest mountain in Zhoushan, known as "the first peak of Qiandao", with a height of 160 feet.

"Miss, I won't go up when I'm at the place. If you need me next time, you can come to me anytime."

As the boat docked, Zhang Mengzi came to bid farewell to Huang Rong. He didn't sleep all night, but this big Mengzi still looked energetic.

It was only after dawn that he could see clearly that this person was actually not that old, only in his thirties.

Guo Mo took out 200 taels of silver and handed it over.

"Master Zhang, you worked hard all night, go back and buy a bowl of wine for your brothers."

"No, no, how can I ask for your money? If there is no miss, I, Zhang Damengzi, would have gone to the sea to feed the fish. With your money, do I have any face?"

Unexpectedly, this rude man could still have such persistence.

Guo Mo still handed him the banknote.

"Take it, even if you don't want it, you still have to think about your brothers. You've been busy all night, so you have to go back. In addition, you have to take care of the horses left in the shipyard."

Zhang Damengzi couldn't refuse, so he had to put it away, and kept saying, "This is a bit too much..."

A group of five people abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and walked inward.

Among the five people, only Guo Mo came here for the first time, and the other four were all familiar with it.

However, their walking speed is not too fast. Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng and Lu Chengfeng just don't have enough eyesight.

How many years has it been?They once thought that they would never have the chance to set foot on the "Peach Blossom Island" again in this life.

Walking all the way, recalling all the way, the eye sockets of the three became moist again.

After passing a large stretch of sandy beach, and walking in, the scenery is much better.

I saw dense ancient trees, flourishing peach groves, numerous strange stones, splashing waterfalls, and gurgling streams. It is really a paradise on earth.

With such beautiful scenery, few people have no intention of watching it.
