Doctor Wuyi said with a sad face: "Ati, this horse can be rented, but it is not easy to borrow, the market price of this horse is at least worth thirty or forty taels of silver, if I lend you something to make a mistake, who will I ask to pay for the silver?"

"This, this ......" Ati was dumbfounded, thirty or forty taels of silver was an astronomical amount.

"Ati, you really want to rent a horse, and you must pay some rent and deposit first, so that Abel can rest assured that the horse will be handed over to you. ”

"This ...... This...... Where am I going to get a rental deposit?!" Ati pouted, completely deflated.

Seeing this, Yeli took over the conversation and said: "Xi'er don't worry, there are many medicines that can be sold at home, mountain turtles and pangolins should be able to sell for some silver, blame my brother for going back and getting some to sell immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Ati, you can use turtles and pangolins for rent and deposits. Dr. Wuyi repeatedly agreed.

"No!!" Ati glared at Yeli angrily.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she said secretly: Those medicines are all treasures that saved my aunt and brother's life, and they can't be sold one by one! Okay! If you want to sell my baby, then I will sell your baby!

After making up his mind, Ati turned his anger into a smile and asked Dr. Wuyi, "Abel, how much silver do you want for the rent and deposit of this horse?"

Dr. Wuyi pondered for a while and said, "You are going to Tiger Mountain, (to be honest) I don't know if you can come back, this horse can't be lost, at least I have to charge you forty-five taels of silver." ”

"Good!" replied Ati neatly, "forty-five taels of silver is forty-five taels of silver! ”

"Give forty-five taels of silver first, and Abel will bring the horse in. Naturally, Dr. Wu Yi didn't believe that Ati would have so much silver, so he spread out his right palm and asked for the deposit and rent first.

Yeli didn't believe that Ati would have so much silver, but he didn't know what she was doing, so he was very surprised: "Xi'er, where do you have forty-five taels of silver?"

Aticui raised her eyebrows: "I don't have forty-five taels of silver, you weird brother does." ”

"Strange brother, where is the strange brother!" Ye Li touched up and down all over his body, and there was not a penny of silver.

Ati smiled and said, "Strange brother, have you forgotten that you didn't show me an amber pendant? And didn't you say that it was worth hundreds of taels of silver?

Belch?!

Yeli was shocked: "Xi'er, this amber pendant can't be mortgaged, it's more important than the life of the strange brother." ”

"Cut! The amber pendant is a dead thing, and a man is a living thing, so how can you say that a dead thing is more important than a living thing? If you die, will the amber pendant still be yours? Not to mention that it is only a temporary mortgage, and it is not that you will not take it back. ”

"No, no, no...... Nothing can be mortgaged. The night left his head and shook the rattle, and his left hand pressed the amber pendant in his arms tightly, for fear that it would disappear.

Ati was originally angry with Yeli and wanted to sell her medicine, so she thought of selling Yeli's amber pendant to retaliate, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel sad again: an amber pendant, blame my brother for cherishing it so much, I don't know how much that Xi'er is favored by my brother, and what am I, just that Xi'er's puppet, today-I want him to give up that amber pendant to see how much he loves that Xi'er!

Thinking of this, she asked menacingly, "That amber pendant really can't be mortgaged?"

"It really can't be mortgaged. "The night is tense.

"Okay, then let me ask you: Am I your Xi'er?"

"Yes. ”

"So—did I give you the amber pendant?"

"Yes. ”

"So—is that amber pendant my thing?"

"Yes. ”

"That-Xi'er won't give it to you now, I'm going to come back to the head office, right?"

"Huh?!" Yeli was stupid and confused.

"What are you 'uh' about? That amber pendant was originally Xi'er's thing, can't Xi'er come back now?"

Ye Li's mind suddenly fell into chaos: How could Xi'er want her earrings back? Could it be that Xi'er doesn't love me anymore, or is she angry with me? Xi'er must not be angry with me, she must be angry with me! I must not make Xi'er angry, Xi'er is still feverish, and it will be terrible if I am angry again! I still hurry up and give the earrings to Xi'er, lest Xi'er get angry and feel uncomfortable.

After a short and fierce exchange of thoughts, Yeli looked at Ati, his eyes became complicated and confused: "Okay, Xi'er, don't be angry, as long as you don't get angry, I will return the amber pendant to you." ”

"If you give me back the amber pendant, I won't be angry. Ati smiled and spread his right palm.

Yeli hesitated, and really took out the amber pendant slowly, and carefully presented it to Ati.

Seeing Yeli's lost and stupid expression, Ati suddenly felt a faint sadness in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was sad about Yeli or sad for herself.

She slowly took the amber pendant and said, "Brother Strange, you don't have to worry, I will still give the amber pendant to Brother Strange in a few days." ”

"Brother Blame knows that Xi'er is just angry for a while, and he will still give the amber pendant to Brother Blame when the time comes. Yeli seemed to mumble to himself.

"Well, Xi'er, I'm not angry. "Ati didn't dare to look at Yeli carefully, he was really a stupid weirdo!

She turned her face, handed the amber pendant to Dr. Wuyi, and said, "Abel, I will use this amber pendant to mortgage and borrow a horse for you, and when we come back from Hushan, I will pay you rent, and you will return this amber pendant to us." ”

Dr. Wuyi took the amber pendant, and at first he didn't take it seriously, but after a little glance, his pupils dilated, full of surprise, and gradually the flesh around the two eye sockets expanded, and the two eyes opened open, revealing a look of shock and greed.

But seeing that the amber pendant is as transparent as crystal, bright as a pearl, flashing with bursts of soft luster, and there is a small insect curled up in the amber, which is really a valuable amber treasure!

After Dr. Wuyi watched for a while, Ati asked, "Abel, is this amber pendant used as collateral?"

"Okay, okay...... Abel, then go and lead the horse. Dr. Wu Yi grabbed the amber pendant tightly, fearing that it would disappear, and turned to lead the horse into the stable in the alley next to the medicine shop.

Ati glanced back at Yeli, only to see him standing there stupidly, and couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad.

After a while, Dr. Wuyi led a yellow and brown horse to the door of the pharmacy.

He handed the reins to Ati and said: "This yellow-brown horse is tall, it is in order, it has a lot of foot strength, it is a mount for Abel and I to go to the village to buy herbs, and sometimes it is rented to others to ride, Ati, you have to take good care of it, and don't forget to feed it some forage when you rest." ”

"Yes, Abel. Ati happily took the reins.

"But Abel said the ugly thing in the front, if something happens to the yellow and brown horse, your amber pendant will have to be used as compensation, but don't want to go back. ”

"Hmm. Ati readily agreed, because she had already made up her mind for the purpose of this trip.

"Then it's decided, Abel will help you hang all your things behind the saddle now, and it is better to hurry as soon as possible to go to Hushan, if the road is smooth, you can reach it in three days. Dr. Uyi urged.

Then he removed the bamboo basket for Ati, and unloaded the bow and arrow hemp rope for Yeli, put the hemp rope in the bamboo basket, tied it together and hung it on the back of the saddle, and the hunting fork was also brought and hung together.

After the rectification was completed, Dr. Wuyi clapped his palms and said, "Okay, all the things are tied, you can set off quickly." ”

"Hmm!" Ati nodded, and handed the reins to Yeli: "Strange brother, we can go to Tiger Mountain." ”

Yeli was still stupid, I don't know if my brain didn't turn the corner, or I was thinking about something, when I saw Ati hand over the reins, he glanced at Ati in confusion, suddenly reached out to hold the reins, climbed and jumped on the yellow and brown horse, and then tilted his upper body and stretched out his right hand to pull Ati on the horse.

Ati hesitated for a moment before stretching out his right hand.

With a light lift, Ati rose into the air and sat down behind him.

Yeli closed his eyes and was silent, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly knocked his feet on the horse's belly, urging the yellow and brown horses to go straight out of Ayi Cottage.

The southwest boundary of Middle Earth is high and densely forested, barren and primitive, and there are many undeveloped lands.

Even if there is a development place such as Ayi Cottage, there is only a radius of one or twenty miles, hidden in the high mountains and dense forests are very inconspicuous, when out of this range, it is difficult to find the cottage again, and everywhere you look is barren mountains and mountains, rivers and cliffs, as if there is no human population, and there seems to be no end.

Yeli and Ati drove their horses out of Ayi Cottage and galloped north along the river outside the village.

Along the way, both of them were silent, but when they saw the things in front of them, they only heard the clattering of horses' hooves in their ears.

Ati has the shyness of a girl, sitting behind Yeli, because the horse is running and bumpy, for fear of falling off the horse, so he can't help but stretch out his left hand to hold Yeli, his upper body leans slightly, leaning on his back, a heart is pounding and confused, plus the fever has not subsided, the body is unwell, as if sleepwalking.

And Yeli has been in a trance since the amber pendant was mortgaged by Ati, and he can't find an outlet for emotional relief between reality and fantasy, and the whole person looks stupid and stupid, since Ati is silent, then he has nothing to say.

The yellow-brown horse galloped with hooves, and before you knew it, the sun was already setting west.

When a dilapidated land temple appeared next to the forest in front, Ati finally called out to Yeli and said, "Strange brother, there is a land temple in front, let's rest there for the night today." ”

"Xi'er, it's still early, let's go one more ride. "Ye Lilu looked back.

"No...... I'm feeling very sick. ”

"Ahh ”

"I thought I'd be fine if I put up with it, but ...... But now I really want to throw up. ”

"Ah?!Okay!Xi'er, bear with me! You'll be to the Land Temple in front of you soon!!" Yeli suddenly became nervous, changed his trance, and hurriedly urged the yellow and brown horses to speed up and gallop.
