Seeing that Lin Feng had no money, the restaurant manager snorted and said sarcastically, "You poor bastard, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Lin Feng clenched his fists and really wanted to hit him, but when he thought of his family, he couldn't act impulsively.
Lin Feng ignored him and took his water bag to the sick cow, feeding it. As he fed it, he said, "Life is not easy. I blame myself for being poor and unable to afford you. This bag of water is my farewell gift to you. Whether you live or die depends on your luck."
The restaurant manager looked furious and said to Lin Feng, "This is my cow. I won't let you get close to it."
Lin Feng didn't want to give him any slack and retorted, "Have you paid? If you haven't paid, it means there's no deal, and the cow still belongs to someone else."
The restaurant manager was stunned. "Yes! He hasn't paid yet!" He quickly took out forty silver coins and handed them to the cattle dealer.
Although Niu Er was reluctant to give it up, he had no other choice now. He couldn't just let it go to waste, right? After taking the money, he said to the restaurant manager, "This cow is yours."
The restaurant manager asked them to wait while he went to find someone to pull the cow away. The cow could not walk, so it needed an ox cart to pull it away. It was a strange thing for a cow to pull a cow. Before leaving, he warned Lin Feng not to get close.
Lin Feng had already fed the sick cow a whole bag of water. After the sick cow drank the water, its eyes obviously lit up, and then it gulped it down.
Lin Feng was a little worried. The water in the leather bag was for him to drink, and it was basically not mixed with any spring water. The concentration of the spiritual spring was also high. He was afraid that the cow would not be able to withstand the energy of the spiritual spring and explode.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, the cow did not move, but looked at Lin Feng eagerly, hoping that he would feed it some more water.
Lin Feng did not feed the cow anymore, but instead took a fancy to Niu Er's ox cart.
"Brother, this is a cart pulled by oxen."
Niu Er was speechless. This cart frame is not light, and you don’t have any animals, how are you going to pull it away? Seeing that he had no money and didn’t look like someone who could afford animals, he kindly reminded him.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said to him, "Big brother, I only have forty silver coins on me. I don't know if it's enough."
Niu Er's face lit up with joy. This must be enough! He had made the oxcart frame himself. He was still worried about how to pull it back after selling the ox. He had originally thought of selling the ox and the frame together, but he didn't expect the ox to be dying of illness.
"It's enough, but brother, this thing is made of solid wood and is very heavy. Otherwise, it will easily fall apart. Are you sure you want to buy this frame?" Niu Er confirmed with him again.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Confirmed, I am very strong."
Lin Feng was not bragging. Ever since he was nourished by the spiritual spring water, his physical fitness has been extremely good, and he always feels that he has endless energy. This ox cart is stronger than a cart and is also spacious. It is no problem for several people to lie on it.
Seeing that Lin Feng was so stubborn, he didn't force him. He could make more money after selling it, and he could buy more food with the money. King Yu's army was coming soon, and he also had to consider taking his family to take refuge in the mountains.
Lin Feng paid the money, picked up the bicycle frame and left, and he did it quite easily. The onlookers also gasped. The bicycle frame was not light. This guy was born in the Year of the Ox, right?
When Lin Feng pulled the carriage out, he shocked his waiting family members.
Father Lin looked at him for a moment and asked, "Son! Have we bought cattle and horses?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, then helped Yang Jingyi, his younger sister, his mother, and the baby onto the bicycle frame.
"Dad! Your son is the cow of the family. I am here to lead you away."
Lin's mother was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Lin Feng.
Mother Lin said, "My child, I can still walk. This thing is so heavy to pull. I don't know what you are thinking. It's so tiring! No, I have to get off."
"No need to get off. I'll try pulling you. If it doesn't work, we'll talk later. Look at your feet, they're all swollen. This isn't a good way to go. You haven't walked far often, so you're not used to it yet."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he didn't wait for his family to say anything else. He immediately pulled the carriage and headed out of the city.
Pulling the big cart frame through the city also attracted some people's attention.
In a restaurant, the middle-aged man who had bought water before also saw Lin Feng and couldn't help but admire Lin Feng's strength.
"This water is really delicious! The tea brewed from it is even better than the imperial tea." There was another person sitting next to the middle-aged man. He said after tasting it.
The middle-aged man nodded. They drank water bought from Lin Feng. The cold water was so delicious, and the tea brewed from it was even more fragrant. This tea was not a good tea, but it had a unique fragrance.
There were only him and another man sitting in the seat, and that man also had the noble air of a superior.
The middle-aged man who bought water was called Li Guo, a counselor under King Yu. The other man was also very powerful. He was the lord of this city and his surname was Dongfang.
"Lord Dongfang, my king wants to hear your opinion, whether to surrender or to be the enemy." Li Guo asked.
The Lord of Dongfang City picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, then smiled slightly: "That depends on what benefits Prince Yu can give me. Everything in this world has a price. As long as the price is right, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor."
Li Guo nodded and said, "King Yu promised that after the success, you will be directly in charge of the two cities, and you can keep 10% of the money submitted to the national treasury for your own use."
"Not enough! I want the area of three cities, and keep 20% for my own use." The Lord of Dongfang City shook his head and said.
Li Guo said, "You know the temper of Prince Yu. He has a powerful army and doesn't like bargaining. He doesn't tolerate any injustice. Anyone who crosses him will end up in trouble. I hope the Lord of Dongfang will think twice."
After hearing this, the Dongfang City Lord sneered: "Prince Yu is a prince, and I am a senior official of the imperial court. I surrendered without receiving orders from the imperial military department. You must know that I also took risks. The Great Yan Dynasty has a territory of 35 million and dozens of princes and nobles. No matter how powerful Prince Yu is, can he defeat the entire Great Yan Dynasty?"
He continued, "Don't say you're just a small strategist. Even if Prince Yu himself came, he couldn't threaten me like this..."
Before the Lord of Dongfang City could finish his words, he felt a chill on his neck. Then he opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Guo. He didn't know when a sharp soft sword appeared in Li Guo's hand.
Looking at the Dongfang City Lord with a big gash on his neck and blood gushing out, Li Guo picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all.
"It's a waste to let you drink this good water. You still don't understand King Yu's character. He hates it most when others don't obey. Since you don't obey, let's find someone who does."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the restaurant without waiting for the Lord of Dongfang to fall to the ground. He called for his carriage and got in.
"Have all the city lord's guards been cleared out?" Li Guo asked the coachman.
"To answer your question, sir, it has all been cleaned up," the driver replied.
Li Guo nodded and said, "Let's go to the next city."
Then the carriage set off again and walked out of the city gate just after Lin Feng.
