Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 19: 19

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, autumn had arrived . The maple leaves in the mountains gradually reddened as the golden ears of rice swelled up bit by bit .

An ox cart slowly rolled through the path between the fields . No one controlled the black ox that pulled a cart covered in a thick layer of hides . Atop the hides was a young man with a piece of straw in his mouth, resting on his arms leisurely as he looked at the sky . Tied to his waist was a blade and a wooden tablet . He was Li Qingshan .

Currently, he was heading to Cypress Stream town more than five kilometres away with over a thousand taels of silver on him . In such a remote mountain hamlet, trying to spend money was really difficult .

If he wanted to make purchases, he could only go to larger towns or cities . Qingyang city had an abundance of goods, but it was simply too far away, and it definitely would not be cheap .

He could only fall back on his second choice and go to the town . At a set time every month, the town would hold a large-scale gathering . When that happened, the people of the nearby villages would all go to the town for the market and buy, sell, or exchange items . This was the best time to buy ginseng . He had gathered quite a number of beast hides as well, so he could use this opportunity to get them off his hands .

Originally, Li Qingshan did not want the black ox to pull the cart anymore, but the black ox did not mind continuing being an ordinary beast of burden .
