Chapter 14: Beauty and Mercedes
Xia Guang told Feng Zhumo about what happened before, and Feng Zhumo asked for three rooms from the inn, and took some silver taels and handed them to Xia Guang. "I'll borrow it from you first, and remember to pay it back twice when the time comes."
Xia Guang took the silver two and asked casually, "You don't plan to go with me?" Of course, she wished he hadn't gone with her.
"Well, let me think about it." Feng Zhumo didn't answer directly, just threw an ambiguous sentence and went back to his room.
Xia Guang also went back to the room, but he was in no mood to rest. Senior Brother will appear here today, which shows that they actually knew that she had the idea of leaving Xuehua Valley for a long time, and the marriage with Senior Brother that she said before was just a poa, just to give her a reason to go down the mountain. It also makes sense, when I went down the mountain, why did Mo appear there.
Xia Guang lifted his sleeves and lightly tapped Mo's little head, "Mo, it seems that the master asked you to come with me at that time, they knew that I would go down the mountain, and deliberately set up a set to let me take the initiative to go down the mountain." ”
"Mo, in a few days, it's time for me to have a poisonous attack, and my senior brother showed up because he didn't worry about me." "Mo, it's really hard to wander outside, you should know that my shoes are worn out a lot, I thought I bought two horses today, and I won't have to walk with my feet in the future? Who knew they would just run away and waste my fifty taels. “
Xia Guang complained to Mo, where did she still have her usual appearance at this moment.
"Knock knock", the knock on the door attracted Xia Guang's attention, she walked to the door, opened the door, and found that it was Xiao Er of the inn standing outside.
The innkeeper came to tell her that he had just brought two horses over, saying that they were their horses, and he had led them to the stable in the backyard, and told them to remember to take them away when they left.
Xia Guang felt strange, it was her first time to come to Xilai Town, how could someone deliberately find the horse and return it. I asked Xiao Eryi and Er, and found out that it was the person who sold their horses before who sent them back.
Xia Guang called Jun Anran out, Jun Diran stayed in the room and didn't rest, she was still thinking something in her mouth, the whole person was chattering, and she was a little worried about her.
When Jun heard that the horse had been sent back, his expression immediately changed, and the aura around him instantly became less gloomy.
She was about to go to the backyard to watch the horses, and she didn't care if Xia Guang followed.
Feng Zhumo in the next room was also attracted by their considerable movements, and when she heard her say that there were two injured horses, she also walked to the stable in the backyard with great interest.
Xia Guang stroked his forehead and looked at the sky, taking a deep breath, not knowing what her senior brother would do.
The stables of the inn are quite large, and they don't look very dirty inside, probably because the people in the inn have been cleaning them often.
"Brother Guang, come here." Jun gloomily beckoned to Xia Guang.
Xia Guang didn't doubt him, and quickened his pace and walked towards her. It was found that there were many horses inside, but the others were all huddled together, and only their two horses took up most of the space. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, they were like that when I came." Jun pointed to the horses on both sides, not knowing what was going on.
Xia Guang thought for a while, and set his eyes on Feng Zhumo's body, Feng Zhumo had more experience than her, and he must know what was going on.
Feng Zhumo has been staring at the two horses since he came to the stable, and now seeing his junior sister's questioning eyes, he didn't answer her question, but asked, "Senior sister, are you sure you bought these two horses for more than fifty taels?" There was something incredible in his tone.
"How?" Listening to her brother's tone, it was as if these two horses were amazing.
"These two horses are not ordinary horses, these two horses are rare wild horses, they are twice as fast as other horses, they are very aggressive, as long as they recognize their master, they will only be loyal to their owners, so they are difficult to domesticate." Before he finished speaking, he gestured with his hand a few times, "And you see that they are so strong and handsome, the price in the horse market is only high." ”
"No way, the previous horse seller said that no one bought these two horses for a long time, so they sold them to us. You see they are all wounded, even if they are good horses, they will not ......," Jun retorted gloomily, but she was speechless when she remembered the speed of the horse when she was frightened before.
As soon as Feng Zhumo's words were finished, Xia Guang carefully went to check the injuries of the two horses, the injuries of the horses looked serious, but in fact, they were all skin injuries, as long as they were taken care of for a while, the two horses would recover as before.
Xia Guang remembered the suspicion of the horse seller before, after the horse seller sold the horse, he also gave them a bag of medicinal herbs, she remembered that she glanced at it at the time, and the medicinal materials in it seemed to be some simple medicinal materials for treating wounds.
"Senior brother, maybe the man who sold the horse didn't know the breed of this horse, so he treated it as an ordinary horse, and because he was in urgent need of money, he was in a hurry to make a move." Xia Guang pretended that it was no big deal, and casually found a reason to prevaricate.
Feng Zhumo smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, Xia Guang was there, looking at him stubbornly, and finally Feng Zhumo didn't say anything more, just walked towards the inn. "Wait a minute, let Xiao Er separate these two horses, otherwise the other horses may be sad."
Jun Yanran has been paying attention to the interaction between the two of them, and when Feng Zhumo left, he whispered: "Goodbye, my love at first sight." “
"What?" Xia Guang didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked.
"It's nothing, now that they're back, let's give them a name."
"Okay." In any case, she had bought the two horses for fifty taels of silver, so now they were their owners. Xia Guang took a carrot from the manger and put it in front of the horse she had led before, "Horse, good horse, eat a carrot if you want me to be your master." “
The horse resisted a little irritation at first, but for some reason he actually ate the carrot in her hand.
Unbeknownst to Xia Guang, the ink in her cuff once spit out snake hyacinths towards the horse, obviously threatening the horse to be honest.
In the end, the two of them thought about it for a night, and finally decided on the names of the two horses, Jun Anran's one with a piece of fur was called Beauty, and Xia Guang's one with an injured leg was called Mercedes.
According to their meaning, they hope that they will become more beautiful and strong in the future, and that they will be able to run farther and faster.
But after choosing the names and putting them together, I always feel an inexplicable sense of joy.
After hearing their names, Feng Zhumo made fun of them for a long time, saying that the two of them were simply wonderful, and specially sprinkled salt on their horse wounds. One horse was hairless and bald; One of them is now injured in the legs......
In a courtyard in Xilai Town, it was still the same pavilion, and it was still the same two people, but this time the man in white was using tea. "Guess who that person is?" "Don't guess." "Guess it's a piece of skin." "Waste of saliva." "Tut-tut, are you still the gentle and polite Qu Lixuan?"
"I'm not."
"Forget it, don't hang your appetite, that person is the senior brother named Miss Xia Guang."
"Oh."
"You're ......"
And then there was no then. Because someone couldn't stand it and flipped their sleeves and left.
