"There are no big matters at home, so there is no need to worry too much about it." Ye Xuan's temperament was calm, and his answers were neither servile nor overbearing.

Qiao Ke went to the account room to get some silver and wrapped it up with a cloth. The heavy weight caused Ye Xuan to be surprised. Without waiting for him to ask, Qiao Ke told him that the money was entrusted to his daughter.

Then, he took out a few pieces of silver and gave them to Ye Xuan. This was what he'd earned from selling his prey.

After telling Ye Xuan to wait in the rear courtyard, Qiao Ke went out to clean up the mess.

After inspecting the woman's fungus, Qiao Ke gave her a decent price. The woman happily took the money and left. A lot of time had passed by the time he had collected all the good quality wild animals.

Ye Xuan was bored waiting in the backyard, so he sent someone to inform Qiao Ke that he still had other things to do and would be leaving first.

Ye Xuan first went to the bull market, and after noon, there weren't many people on the street. The cow seller was drowsy, and when he saw Ye Xuan, he immediately stood up and greeted, "What kind of cow does this little brother want?" Come to my house and take a look, my cow is strong and healthy. "

Ye Xuan looked over. The five oxen were either lying down or standing up, slowly eating the grass. Their fur looked extremely sturdy. He then followed his instructions and walked over. He looked around and picked out a black buffalo.

This calf wasn't even two years old, and its bones were strong and sturdy. It didn't panic when it saw Ye Xuan; it was quite a good water buffalo.

Seeing that he had quickly picked out the cows, the man said with a smile, "You have a good eye. This cow is a calf, but it's stronger than a bull, so it's not a problem to work in the fields. If it's raised well, it could even produce calves to make money!" If you want it, just give me this price. " The man held out ten fingers.

Ye Xuan frowned. Although he'd never bought an ox before, he knew that the price wasn't that high. Ten silver coins was already the cost of two years for an ordinary family. How could a cow like this be so expensive?

"Aiyo, this little brother is not the expensive one that I want to sell. This is a relatively large expense. If the price of an ox is cheap, then this money is equivalent to paying for it myself. Then I would lose money instead of earning money. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Bie family.

"That's right. I wonder what the imperial government has been thinking these past few years. No matter what, they would have to collect taxes. Do they still want us to live?" The other ox sellers sighed, obviously dissatisfied with the policy of the imperial government.

At this point, Ye Xuan had nothing to say. Luckily, he had brought a lot of money with him today.

Before the lady left, she gave him 20 taels of silver. Then, Qiao Ke gave him 15 taels of silver. In addition, with the money he earned from selling the wild boar meat, he would be able to buy an ox.

However, he was still a little hesitant because he did not know how much the pampered lady's budget was.

"If you don't want to pay for it, then buy my cow!" A tender female voice rang out.

Ye Xuan turned around and saw a little girl, who had reached his waist, looking at him with a puzzled expression. Was she talking to him just now?

"I said, you can buy my cow and treat it as my gift. In that way, the government won't be able to collect money, but you have to pay me." The girl lowered her voice and looked around as she spoke, afraid that there would be people from the government.

However, the person who was going to sell the cow heard it. He waved his hand and was about to chase the little girl away.

"Go go, go. Why are you everywhere?" Do you think your cow can pull the land by selling it? Who knows? He might be sent back in two days! "Hurry up and go!"

"Don't listen to him, Flower and Dazhuang are in good health! My dad said that when they grow up, they will definitely be one of the best in a radius of tens of miles. However, my father is sick and doesn't have the money to eat medicine, so we have to sell our cows. "Big brother, if you want to buy a cow, then come over to my house and have a look." The girl's voice was laced with tears and her eyes were red. She had been strolling in the bull market for more than ten days, but every time those people heard that the cow in her house was not well, they would not be interested. Some people became interested, went to visit his house, asked the price and left. If she didn't make more money, her father would be even more ill.

The girl was only eight or nine years old, only slightly older than Iron Egg. She bit her lips and tried to wipe her tears away in a pitiful manner.

Seeing her like this, the ox man sighed impatiently, "Forget it, forget it, if this brother really doesn't have money and can't afford my cow, then let's go to her house and take a look. He's still young, his body will be strong in a few years."

His guess was that Ye Xuan didn't have much money on him, so it might as well be a personal favor. If that girl sold the cow to earn the medicine, then why wouldn't he be happy to save a life?

The girl didn't know what he was thinking and only thought that he sympathized with her. She hurriedly thanked him and pulled Ye Xuan home.

Ye Xuan was speechless. He hadn't said what he was going to do, but the two of them had already decided on his behalf.

Not long after they left the city, the little girl brought Ye Xuan to her home.

Along the way, the little girl told Ye Xuan that her name was Jin Ling, and her family lived in the Pagoda tree village near the county city. At the beginning of spring, her father's neck suddenly swelled up like a big ball of meat. At the beginning, he was fine, but as time passed, the ball of meat became bigger and bigger, making it difficult for her father to breathe.

In order to treat her father's illness, the family sold two acres of land, but the disease didn't improve. Seeing her father's illness getting worse, Jin Ling decided to sell her family's cow so that she could treat her father's illness.

When Jin Ling Niang gave birth to Jin Ling, she had a difficult time. In order to take care of her daughter, Jin Ling's father had never remarried. If anything happened to him, what would happen to Jin Ling?

Jin Ling brought Ye Xuan home while crying. It was only possible to hold a hundred-year-old Pagoda tree at the entrance of the village with at least ten people around.

Jin Ling's house was at the village entrance. He pushed open the door and entered a neat and tidy yard. To the right of the yard was a cow shed. A cow lay in the cow shed, grazing while two half-grown calves drank their milk.

Ye Xuan's forehead jumped. The calf that the little girl wanted him to buy should be the type that could work, right? But this cow is so small, how can it work?

As if seeing that Ye Xuan wasn't satisfied, Jin Ling's sales pitch became much quieter.

"Actually, they grow up really fast. Dazhuang and Lonesome Flower sure are great …"

The more she said, the more she felt guilty. Jin Ling's tears were about to flow out.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked out from the back room. The huge bump on his neck looked very frightening. He opened his mouth to speak, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had squeezed it out of his throat.

"Jin Ling …" This is? "

"Dad, this big brother wants to buy our family's cow!"

Well, before Ye Xuan could say anything, his fate was decided by someone else.

The man looked at the little girl with an apologetic and tolerant gaze. He seemed to be saying that his daughter had caused trouble for him.

It was unknown whether it was due to the girl's tears or the love he felt for her in his eyes, but Ye Xuan felt an impulse and blurted out, "I want to buy your family's cow."

"Really?" Jin Ling immediately jumped up. "Dad!" We can go and see your doctor! "

Before she could finish rejoicing, Ye Xuan said, "I want to sell this cow to me as well."

"Ah …" The girl looked at her father with a troubled expression. She was counting on the cow to help with the work in her family's land. If she sold it all, how would she farm when her father recovered?

"This... "Brother!" The middle-aged man stuttered as he gulped, "If you want to buy it, then I'll sell this cow to you." "But the price …"

The man kept silent as he haggled with Ye Xuan. In the end, he decided to sell the three oxen for thirteen silver.

Ye Xuan led the ox out of the Great Pagoda Village. His mind was still a little dizzy from spending so much money to buy three cows. Was it worth it?

Jin Ling was extremely reluctant to part with the three oxen. After sending Ye Xuan to the village, she still didn't want to go home.

"You have to be nice to them!" "Da Zhuang is still young, he can't go down to work. Da Hua has to raise two children, so he can't do heavy work …"

Then why did he buy it? Using it as a mascot?

Ye Xuan thought in annoyance. Even though he'd lived so many lives, he still wasn't a truly good person. But today, he'd truly done some "good things".

Could it be a husband singing with his wife?
