Shi Ji asked Little Walnut to return to the cave and take 200 wen. He bought two catties of cooked beef and two cans of Huazhou Spring Liquor. He carried them to the yard.
Dachangyuan was an inn run by Zheng Tuo, a councilor in the suburbs. Due to the size of the yard, it was called Dachangyuan.
In addition to receiving merchants who went to the east and west to stay and eat, the courtyard also stored the carriages, ox carts, and camel carts of the guests. A stable and a cowshed were used to house horses, cows, and donkeys.
The guests could leave their horses, cattle, and donkeys in the stables and cowhouses. After paying the daily feeding fee, they could ignore everything. The servants who fed the horses and cattle in the yard would serve them well.
Shi Ji and Little Walnut came to the yard with wine and meat. The breeder, Pu Er's father, and three servants who fed the horses were sitting in the open space of the yard, sunbathing.
Pu 'er's father was in his fifties and knew Little Walnut. When he saw him and Shi Ji carrying two jars of wine and a bag that looked like meat, he asked,"Little Walnut, who are you two sending the wine to?”
Little Walnut's little mouth was well-behaved. He chuckled and teased,"Little Walnut is for Daddy Pu!”
"This is a good relationship!" Pu Er said and then went up to take the two jars of wine from Little Walnut."I've been out of the world for the past few months. I didn't expect Little Walnut to send wine over!”
When the other three breeders saw Pu 'er's father take the two jars of wine from Little Walnut, they were all excited. They crowded around him and came to a stone slab that was propped up. A lean man laughed and flattered Little Walnut."This child is filial. We've benefited from Father Pu's glory today!”
Shi Ji saw that the four feeding staff were drunkards, so he spread out the two catties of beef in his hand on the stone slab and said,"Little Scissors and Little Walnut came to the yard to borrow a horse. In order to thank Father Pu and a few uncles, they specially prepared two jars of Huazhou Spring Wine and two catties of cooked beef to reward everyone!”
Shi Ji's initial plan was to steal horses, but he thought that stealing horses was too big a crime. Seeing that Pu Er and the three men were all drunkards, he changed his mind and said that he was borrowing horses.
Shi Ji's ability to adapt to the situation was much better than Liu Xuande's. Otherwise, how could he become the beggar king of Baihe County?
Shi Ji was fifteen years old and was already quite tall. He was at least five feet and a half. In Song Shi, one foot was 31.2 centimeters and five feet and a half was 171 centimeters.
The reason why a beggar could grow so tall was definitely related to his stealing skills.
Shi Ji stole delicious food and drink to strengthen his nutrition. How could he not grow taller?
In the Northern Song Dynasty, rich people would bring a money bag to put the copper coins in when they went out. Shi Ji stole the money from the bag, and the owner didn't feel anything.
Shi Ji's lightness skill was not bad either. He could climb trees like a cat, walk on water like a dragonfly, and run like a rabbit on flat ground. Hence, he had the nickname " Stealing Grass."
Stealing Verdure Glider only stole money from the rich. He didn't take a single cent from the poor, and sometimes he even paid for it.
For example, the old man who was rescued from the streets. Shi Ji still did not know his name, but he had already spent a lot of money on him.
He came to the yard to steal horses to rescue the old grandpa.
Shi Ji changed the stolen horse into a borrowed horse. The old servant Pu Er was stunned. He stared at him with slanted eyes and said,"Borrow a horse? Why are you borrowing horses?"
Little Walnut saw that Father Pu's question was strange and hurriedly helped Shi Ji to free himself,"Father Pu. This is my brother, Little Scissors. I borrowed the horse to treat a patient!”
Little Walnut eagerly revealed the reason why they borrowed the horse.
Little Walnut felt that he had exposed his target. He stuck out his tongue and looked at Shi Ji, not knowing what to do.
Little Walnut's words of borrowing a horse to save someone were exactly what Shi Ji wanted. Shi Ji did not complain about him but shook his thumb and smiled embarrassedly. "Father Pu might not know, but this kid is Baihe County's Stealing God, Flying Above Grass!"”
When Pu Er and the three men heard Shi Ji say that he was Flying Above Stealing Grass, their eight eyes immediately widened into cowbells, staring at him without blinking.
As long as Stealing Verdure Glider of Baihe County was able to find someone's item, he would be able to get it even if you hid it in a basement and sent dozens of soldiers to guard it.
Flying Above Grass came to borrow a horse and even brought wine and meat. This was a show of respect to Pu Er and the other servants.
If Pu Er and the other servants did not agree to lend him the horses, then fine, he would lead the horses in the stable at will. You would not be able to find out how he led them away.
If a horse in the stable was lost, Pu Er and the other servants wouldn't be able to pay it back with their annual salary.
Pu Er immediately stood up and bowed to Shi Ji." Mr. Verdure Glider."
Pu Er called Shi Ji Mr. Flying on Grass because Shi Ji's stealing skills were really brilliant. The things he saw would be unknowingly put into his pocket under your eyelids.
When Shi Ji saw Pu Er call him Mister Flying Above Grass, he snorted coldly and said,""I'm here to borrow a horse, what does father Pu think?”
Without waiting for Pu Er to speak, the young man called Zhang Fan chimed in,"Brother Verdure Glider, it's not that we don't want to lend you the horses, but these horses in the stable belong to the government. An official named Chen Da personally sent someone to raise them here for us to feed!”
Zhang Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cleared his throat."Official Chen has an extraordinary temperament. If he finds out that we lent the horses to you, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the guy on our necks!”
When Shi Ji heard Zhang Fan mention Chen Da, he immediately remembered the information that he, Little Walnut, and Little Watermelon sold to Jiang Tianlong yesterday. He said,"Chen Da is not a government official. He is the leader of the thieves in Shaohua Mountain. You can report to the county government that his horses have been confiscated!”
As Shi Ji said this, he swept his gaze towards Pu Er, Zhang Fan, and the other two horse grooms."This one has already said so much, but Pu father still doesn't dare to lend me the horse?”
After Shi Ji said this, he didn't wait for Pu Er to react and said,""Father Pu, if you agree to lend me two horses? Then, we can return it in one piece after we're done. If you don't agree, then we'll lead the horses in the stable at will. The horses that are led out will never return!”
Pu Er understood the meaning of Shi Ji's words. The first sentence was to say goodbye, and the second sentence was to force himself on, and even lose his wife and soldiers.
Pu Er hurriedly stood up and bowed,""Mr. Verdure Glider, please be merciful. We will lend you two horses. Please choose any horse you like from the stable.”
When Shi Ji saw Pu Erkai, he raised his voice and said with a smile,"It's still Father Pu who understands the big picture. Junior knew that I would be able to borrow a horse from you, so I prepared good wine and dishes to thank you and the masters!”
"That's right, that's right! Mr. Verdure Glider is a righteous man and will not make things difficult for me!”Pu Er chattered and shouted at Zhang Fan,"Zhang Fan, why aren't you bringing Mr. Verdure Glider to the stable to choose a horse?”
Shi Ji and Little Walnut followed Zhang Fan to the stable. Pu Er and the other two grooms opened the beef and poured some wine. They drank a cup first and said," The sky wants rain, the mother wants to get married, and even God can't control it. Today, we'll get drunk. Let's get drunk first…"
Shi Ji walked into the stable. The horses tied to the wooden trough were all fat and strong. At a glance, one could tell that they were good horses from the Western Regions.
That's right, Shi Bin was once a military officer at the western border of the Western Xia Dynasty. There, he met the prince of the Yellow-headed Uighur Kingdom, Ye Luoge. The Central Plains, separated by the night. The Central Plains had obtained many good horses from the Han City Horse Farm, and the cavalry of the officers and soldiers were incomparable.
Shi Ji chose a black horse from the stable, and Little Walnut chose a green horse.
The two of them led the horses out of the yard and asked for the way to Baoyue Villa. Then, they galloped forward as fast as lightning…
