77 Chapter 77. Trash

The horse pulling the carriage was a tall, black horse. Its fur was even brighter than the date red horse. It had strong hooves and could run without a problem. Its eyes were bright and alert when it saw Su Qing; it snorted, afraid she would miss it and stepped forward to get Su Qing’s attention.

Su Qing walked over and touched the horse’s head. Choosing a horse depended on fate, and this horse was destined to be with her. It seemed very happy to be handled by her and rubbed its head against her palm.

Su Qing then looked at the carriage. This carriage was not bad either. It was not smaller than the previous carriage. When she lifted the curtain, she saw that the decorations were even better than the last carriage.

This carriage used to be ridden by young ladies from wealthy families. The carriage curtains were pink and embroidered with lifelike roses and tassels. The cotton cushions in the carriage were red and embellished with beautiful flowers. The smell in the carriage was also very good. The previous owner must have lit sandalwood often, so the carriage had a faint fragrance.

“Xiaoying, do you like it?” Su Qing asked Ji Xiaoying.

“It’s too expensive. I’ll buy a cheap one.

“This carriage is comfortable.” I’m fine,” Ji Xiaoying said softly. She pulled Su Qing and wanted to leave, but Su Qing stopped her.

“In the future, this horse is fated with you, so you should buy it!”

The coachman saw that this customer had taken a fancy to the carriage and hoped to sell it quickly to save himself from being entangled with third master Tang and the others. He would take the money and promptly leave this troublesome place.

Third master Tang saw that Su Qing had come to disrupt the situation. He glared at Su Qing with his bull eyes and placed his hands on his hips, trying to scare Su Qing away. Su Qing didn’t even look at him. She raised her head and asked the coachman,

“How much is it?”

The coachman didn’t dare to ask for too much, so he stretched out four fingers and said,

“Young man, give me 40 taels. My old master told me to sell it at this price. I really can’t sell it at any lower price.”

“Deal,” she said.

Su Qing handed over the silver notes without bargaining. The coachman happily took the silver notes and gave Su Qing ten taels of silver. He reluctantly gave the whip and reins to Su Qing and touched the black horse’s head.

“Big black, follow your new master and be good.”

Seeing that Su Qing had bought the black horse, third master Tang was furious. He pointed at Su Qing and the coachman and ordered his men,

“Kill these two arrogant dogs.”

He felt these two people had challenged his authority as the horse market’s overlord. If he did not teach them a lesson today, the other people in the market would also rebel.

A few thugs surrounded Su Qing, the coachman, and the carriage that third master Tang had taken a fancy to.

Ji Xiaoying saw they were fierce despite their numbers and feared that Su Qing would be disadvantaged. She wanted to call her big brother and the others for help, but Su Qing stopped her.

“A few shrimp soldiers and crab generals don’t need your brother’s help,”

Not only was Su Qing not afraid of him, but his tone was also so contemptuous as if he did not even put him in her eyes. Third master Tang was even more furious. He gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates,

“Beat him to death. If he’s dead, throw him into the river to feed the fish.”

Before the third master, Tang, could finish his sentence, Su Qing lifted her leg and kicked him a dozen meters away. The hooligans were dumbfounded by Su Qing’s strength when they saw that third master Tang, who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, was sent flying.

They could bully the weak and easy to bully commoners, but when they encountered a powerful master, they would cower. No one dared to step forward and fight with Su Qing.

The coachman thanked Su Qing for helping him and bowed deeply to her.

“Thank you for saving my life, young hero.”

“You go first!”

Su Qing did not look at him but coldly ordered. The driver knew he could not help even if he stayed, so he cupped his hands at Su Qing again before leaving the cart market.

Third master Tang’s men looked at each other. They couldn’t afford to offend this man. Third master Tang clutched his stomach as he got up from the ground. He felt as if Su Qing’s kick had cut his intestines. He pointed at Su Qing and ordered his men,

“All of you, attack together and kill him!”

When his subordinates saw that he had been abused miserably, how could they still dare to make a move? One cupped his hands at third master Tang,

“Third master, we still have the elderly and the young to care for. We still need to live. I’m sorry.”

After saying that, they scattered like birds. Tang’s third master didn’t expect that these kids would usually eat and drink independently but would abandon him and run away at the crucial moment. He was so angry that he cursed,

“All of you come back, or I’ll kill you.”

Su Qing walked toward third master Tang with the horsewhip in her hand. She did not walk quickly, but every step exuded powerful pressure. Her gaze was as cold as ice, and she looked at him expressionlessly.

Third master Tang felt a chill run down his spine. He knew this was a ruthless person and was alone with his opponent. He began to admit defeat and put in a good word:

“Young hero, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please … Aiya, Aiya!”

Before third master Tang could finish his sentence, Su Qing’s whip had already sent him rolling on the ground, causing him to scream in pain.

When they heard the commotion, Ji Shuisheng and the rest had just bought two carts. They then realized that Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying were missing, so they quickly came to look for them.

When he arrived, he saw Su Qing raising a whip and whipping the third master Tang until he was rolling on the ground. Ji Shuisheng walked over and stopped Su Qing,

“What’s going on?”

“He needs a beating.”

The corners of Su Qing’s mouth curled into a frightful sneer. The whip in her hand was like a spirit snake streaking across Ji Shuisheng’s hand. It landed on third master Tang’s mouth and knocked out two of his front teeth.

“Ah!”

Third master Tang screamed and covered his mouth in fear as he crawled behind Ji Shuisheng. He hugged Ji Shuisheng’s leg and mumbled for help,

“Help, help …”

Ji Shuisheng kicked him away without even thinking,

“Get lost!” he said.

The third master Tang, was sent flying, and his body was covered in dirt. No one in the surroundings came to stop the beating. This third master Tang was a tyrant in the carriage market. Whoever sold their carriage had to give him a tael of silver as a commission. They could forget about buying and selling in the carriage market if they didn’t give it. Today, he had encountered a problem and deserved to be cleaned up.

Everyone felt that their hatred had been vented. They wished that Ji Shuisheng and the rest could beat this third master Tang to death and eliminate this evil for the people.

After Ji Shuisheng sent third master Tang flying with a kick, he pulled Su Qing, who still wanted to hit him, and said to her in a low voice,

“Let’s go!”

Su Qing also knew she could not stay here for long, so she nodded and returned to take her newly bought carriage. Seeing that Su Qing had bought a carriage, Ji Shuisheng looked at her in disbelief.

“It’s too tiring to walk.”

Su Qing explained indifferently. Ji Shuisheng didn’t say anything. She could spend the money. However, she wanted.

Now that she had money, she didn’t need to work as hard as before.

“Big sister, you’re amazing.”

Ji Xiaoying surrounded Su Qing like a child, her eyes full of admiration. The way her sister had slapped third master Tang was so fantastic.

Su Qing’s lips curled slightly as she warned, “Little girl, we’re wearing men’s clothes. Call me big brother.”

“Yes, yes, big brother is so awesome.”

Ji Xiaoying only remembered that she and her sister wore men’s clothing. She guiltily stuck out her tongue and quickly changed her words.

They returned to the grain shop and saw Li Daniu sitting on the cart pole, his hand supporting his cheek as he looked in their direction.

Did this kid’s eyes have problems? They were so conspicuous, yet he didn’t see them?
