    Qin Qiong has just recovered from a serious illness, but her body and bones have not yet fully recovered.  The sun warmed my whole body, and I was worried that I didn't sleep well last night.  He leaned against the wall and took a nap. He never expected that at this moment, the always obedient yellow gelding would cause trouble.

    As the sun went up, the number of people in the cattle and horse market gradually became sparse.  Not far away came an old man carrying a load of firewood.  There was a bottle of oil hanging on the burden, and it was early summer.  There are still green leaves hanging on the firewood.

    Since Qin Qiong owed the hotel restaurant, Wang Xiaoer has been feeding the yellow gelding improperly.  Last night, I only fed some grass and no beans at all.  At this time, the sun was rising three poles high, and the yellow gelding was already hungry.  Seeing green leaves nearby, he immediately broke away from the reins and went to eat the green leaves on the firewood.  After tugging three times and two times, he knocked the oil bottle over and smashed it to pieces on the ground.

    The old man carrying the burden was about to go shopping when he heard a noise and looked back.  But when he found that his oil bottle was broken on the ground, the old man immediately became furious.  Pulling the reins of the yellow gelding, they shouted about whose horse it was.

    The yellow gelding was unwilling to give up when a stranger pulled the reins, and it struggled hard.  The old man suddenly fell into a gourd and scattered the firewood.  There was a big gash on his arm, and gurgling blood immediately flowed down the wound.

    The cattle and horse market has become lively now, and the cattle and horse brokers were waiting to see Qin Qiong¡¯s joke.  Now that the skinny horse hurt someone, a bunch of people immediately came up to prepare for justice.  Considering that they could not defeat him, they chose to support the old man mentally and ruthlessly criticized and lashed Qin Qiong in public opinion.

    Qin Qiong was sleeping soundly, but she didn't expect to be woken up by someone.  Taking a closer look, I saw an old man with blood on his arm, holding on to the reins of the yellow gelding and refusing to let go.  When someone next to him told what happened, Qin Qiong felt bad.

    A bottle of oil is nothing, the key is that the horse hurt someone.  Fortunately, the yellow gelding was not well fed.  Otherwise, if the big hoof hits the old man, he will be kicked to death.

    Qin Qiong hurriedly walked up to the old man, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Old man, I'm sorry! My horse is not tied up properly!"

    "Your horse? Man, even though you are tall and strong, I am not afraid of you. Your horse hurt me today. You have to pay me for the bottle of oil and more. Look at it!" The old man raised his hand  The upper arm was handed to Qin Qiong's eyes, and he could see that the inch-long wound was still bleeding freely.  "I make a living by chopping and selling firewood. My arm has been injured for a while and I can't do any work. You also have to pay for the lost wages for these days."

    The people next to him were eating melons, chicken legs, and durians The high-quality uncensored people immediately started clamoring and shouted at Qin Qiong.  Although no one dares to stand up and scold Qin Qiong, they must put maximum pressure on Qin Qiong in terms of public opinion.

    Qin Qiong is not an unreasonable person, even if he can do something to the "Four Tigers from the East of the City".  But he was unwilling to use force against the law-abiding old man.  Besides, he didn't take any responsibility for this matter and broke someone else's oil bottle.  Naturally, compensation should be paid to the person, because the horse injured the person's arm and the person cannot work.  Naturally, they also have to compensate for lost wages. Although the old man's words were a bit vulgar, the truth is still on his side.

    Helpless a penny to knock down the hero Han, if this happened in the past.  Qin Qiong would not hesitate to take out the money and find out about the matter.  But now Qin Qiong's pocket is cleaner than her face.  Not to mention lost wages, even for that bottle of oil, there is no money to compensate.  Qin Qiong's head was filled with veins, and the people next to her were making a lot of noise.  Anxious Qin Qiong screamed wildly!

    When he shouted, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.  Everyone took two steps back quickly, fearing that Qin Qiong would get angry and rush forward.  When the old man saw Qin Qiong roaring, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.  His hands were tied together and his mouth was so wide that he dared not speak.

    Qin Qiong was so angry that she scared the old man.  She screamed in her heart and immediately stepped forward to help the old man up.  While beating the dust, he kept apologizing to the old man.  When the onlookers saw that Qin Qiong had no intention of hitting anyone, they immediately started shouting again.  Qin Qiong stared angrily, and the shouting voices of the onlookers immediately became quieter.

    "My father, I am not at fault for this matter. I owe you my apology here!" Qin Qiong said while constantly apologizing to the old man.

    "Apologies are useless, bring me money. If you don't have money, you can't leave today. If it doesn't work, I'll sue the officials. Mr. Cai of Luzhou is a well-known upright official, and we will never let people like you go unpunished.  "When the old man saw that Qin Qiong did not rely on his strength to bully others, his courage immediately increased a lot.  He held Qin Qiong's arm and didn't let go. It seemed that he really planned to sue the government if he didn't pay for it today.

    Qin Qiong was stunned when he heard this. He came to Luzhou just to deliver official documents to Mr. Cai.  If people in the officialdom knew that he was in such a state of decline in Luzhou, how could he survive in the future?  But now, he really has no money??To this old man.

    "Old man, my money is really tight. Not to mention the lost wages, even this bottle of oil. I, Ican't afford to pay for it!" Qin Qiong said helplessly to the old man in a low voice.

    "Are you lying to me?" The old man didn't believe Qin Qiong's words at all, and held Qin Qiong's hand tighter.  He was afraid that Qin Qiong would break free and run away.

    "Old man, if I were really rich, I wouldn't have to come out to sell the horse. Otherwise, stay put until I sell the horse and pay you back." After saying this, Qin Qiong pointed at the yellow gelding.

    "I said Lao Sutou, he is lying to you. There are three things about his skinny horse that he won't sell: pulling carts, pulling mills, and plowing fields. When he goes home, he can only serve as a horse uncle. Who do you think he will?  Buy a skinny horse like this." A livestock broker who had long disliked Qin Qiong shouted loudly from behind the crowd.

    "That's right! Lao Sutou, he hasn't sold this horse for five or six days. You wait for him to sell it. I'm afraid the injury will have healed long ago!" Another livestock broker also followed suit.

    The high-definition and uncensored crowd of onlookers became all chatty again, and now it seemed like there were ten thousand ducks swarming in.  It's so noisy that you can't even hear what's being said!

    Seeing this, Yunhao immediately squeezed out of the crowd and came to Qin Qiong.  He shouted loudly: "Shut up, isn't it just money? I gave it to Mr. Qin, how much do you want." Yunhao pinched his waist with a righteous look, Qin Qiong was so excited that he almost committed suicide.  A piece of wax-white face immediately turned into a purple face.

    When the onlookers saw Yunhao come out and ask for compensation, they all stopped to see what the old Sutou said.  But Old Su Tou kept looking at the yellow gelding with his eyes, looking up and down, left and right.  After looking at it for a long time, he turned to Qin Qiong and asked, "Is this horse really yours?"

    "This horse is the mount of a certain family!" Qin Qiong said in his heart, if it's not mine, is it yours?

    "Huh? Is this weird?" The old man stroked his goatee and his expression became serious.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
