They went south and re-entered Yunzhongfu, the land ruled by the Han people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yunzhong Mansion is vast but desolate, and under the guidance of well-wishers, they chose a place to settle in Xunbao City, which is located in the southwest of Shengyue City, the place of Yunzhongzhi.

Xunbao City is also prosperous in the clouds, because it occupies a superior geographical location, so the business is developed and the life is convenient.

The streets are lined with all kinds of goods and stalls, mixed with the cries and shouts of various languages and the gentiles in all kinds of strange costumes, they bring the specialties of their hometown to resell, but also exchange some other rare goods, and sometimes you can even see some merchants from the Central Plains bringing silk and tea from the Central Plains to bargain with the Gentiles on the roadside, and the booming business has led to the prosperity of this small city, and the people here live a prosperous and prosperous life.

Yan Qingshuang and the nurse set up a small stall at the corner of the street, and the nurse regained her original embroidery and needlework skills, and bought some fine gadgets on the street corner, such as purses embroidered with thyme, concentric knots with hanging tassels and hand-woven belts, etc., many foreign merchants could not help but pick one or two to bring to their wives, children or lovers when they passed by, and the business was small but barely passed.

One evening, it rained heavily. Yan Qingshuang was mowing grass on a hillside at the time, and she was embarrassed by the rain, but when she came home in a panic, she found that the knife used to mow the grass was missing, and she had to buy another one again.

She asked her neighbors, and the neighbors told her that if she wanted to buy the best knife, she must go to the "Luo Ji Iron Shop" at the east end of Xunbao Street, where the blacksmith's craftsmanship is first-class, and the knives he bought are light and sharp, and the knives he bought cut, chop, chop, the knife edge is not curled and waterproof is the price is a little more expensive, no matter the size of the knife, it is a tael of silver, not two prices, so it is called "a knife one or two", but the knife he bought is of high quality, even if the price is a little expensive, there are still many people to patronize.

She was moved by what she said, and scraped together a tael of silver from the money jar, and then went out.

"Luo Ji Iron Shop" is easy to find, and almost everyone on Xunbao Street knows it. She hesitated when she stood in front of the iron shop, but when she saw the various silver knives in the shop, she immediately relented.

She seemed to have a special affection for knives, and whenever she saw the cold light flowing on them, she would be in awe of them. She was dazzled by the luster on this knife, and it took a long time to pick a favorite, and when she wanted to pay, she found that there was no one in the iron shop, she called to the iron shop, no one responded, and called again, or silent, looking at the knife in her hand, she suddenly had a thought: steal!

After all, a tael of silver is also a huge amount of money for them, so that they can save their hard-earned money, not to mention that she has done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs in the past to make a living.

As soon as this thought came out, I couldn't control it anymore. She looked around, but fortunately, the seat of the iron shop was quite remote, and it was about to get dark, and the crowd on the street gradually dispersed, and no one would see it at all.

She wrapped the knife in her arms with the coarse cloth handkerchief she had brought with her, and she thought she was unaware of it, but she didn't think that everything had already been noticed by someone.

As soon as she took a step, she immediately felt a sharp pain in her calf. She was shocked and hurriedly reached out to check, but there was nothing abnormal on her leg. She felt uneasy, raised her leg and wanted to run, but another sharp pain hit, she simply fell to the ground in pain, and her eyes happened to meet the two small pebbles at her feet, and then she realized that someone had shot the stone into her leg.

She glanced up, and the blacksmith was empty, and she said, "What a hell." ”

She struggled to stand up with the back of the chair in the iron shop, and suspiciously raised a large number of iron shops, but there was really no one.

She was faintly frightened in her heart, and dared to shout: "Is there anyone?" Only the curtain in the iron shop swayed in the wind, and no one answered.

She hesitated for a moment, she has experienced countless hardships over the years, and she has experienced different people and things, her knowledge is not comparable to ordinary peers, she is not the kind of pedantic person, what etiquette and morality are like farts to her, and the truth is only one that is life.

She has long been accustomed to this kind of shameless thing, but at this moment she remembered the words that the nurse often chattered, who is doing what the sky is watching, and what good people have good rewards. She used to be dismissive of this, thinking that she was innocent and did not hurt nature, but she still lived a precarious life, so it can be seen that these high-sounding words are really deceitful. It's just that after a long time, it is inevitable to be world-weary and vulgar.

Although she is at the bottom, she is arrogant and withdrawn, cold and lonely, and difficult to get along with. But today, in the face of this strange scene, she could not justify herself except to explain it in the words of the nurse, so after a moment of hesitation, she still put the silver in her hand on the counter.

Hearty laughter came from far and near, a dark shadow swept over her head, turned around lightly and sat steadily on the high-backed wooden chair in the iron shop, and said with a smile: "Little girl, the child can be taught, I will not pursue your mistakes and can change them." ”

She was thrilled when she heard his voice before she saw him, and when she came back to her senses, her eyes were filled with tears. Dressed in black and pants, short and thin, capable and strong, she seems to be the benefactor who saved her in the ranch.

The long-brewing thought broke through the ground like a sprout, and she suddenly knelt on her knees and said aloud: "Benefactor, please take me as an apprentice and teach me martial arts." ”

The man in black shook his head and said, "I don't accept apprentices, especially girls. The daughter's family learning the boy's dance and playing the gun is in the big bad scenery. ”

She prostrated herself and begged repeatedly. The man in black was moved by her sincerity, and still asked puzzled: "You don't learn to knit female red, why do you learn this, this is really not what girls learn, okay, if you can give me a reasonable reason, I will answer you." ”

Yan Qingshuang straightened her waist, her eyes burned like fire, and said, "To protect yourself." It also protects the nursing mother. In order to be able to live well,"

Her words made the man in black silent for a long time, and suddenly, he patted his chair and laughed: "Ji Zheng is about to become a half-immortal, I really let the old boy calculate it for me, my successor is really a girl." Okay, don't kneel, this is the fate of you and my master and apprentice, I will take your kowtow, and the title of master and apprentice will be decided. ”

She knelt beside her stupidly as if she was in a dream, and Luo Gang couldn't help but cry out in distress: "Silly girl." ”

Since that day, Yan Qingshuang's life has changed again, Luo Gang treats her like his own daughter, and teaches her a good martial arts. What made her even more pleased was that Luo Gang personally hammered and honed, and made a pair of meniscus-shaped silver knives for her, the knife edge was cold and sharp, such as cold frost, and the handle was made of sterling silver, inset with silver phoenix and silver phoenix, noble and domineering. At the top of the handle is a tassel made of silver thread by the nurse, and the two knives are shining silver.

She was so happy that she didn't close her eyes all night, sat in front of the lamp and rubbed it repeatedly, and couldn't put it down. Luo Gang also promised that when she was ten years old, he would teach her a set of knife techniques.

Life just goes on unhurriedly. Yan Qingshuang and the nurse are still setting up stalls to sell goods, and Luo Gang is still guarding his "Luo's Iron Shop", and they have not narrowed the distance between their lives because of their closeness. Luo Gang would occasionally bring them something, and nothing seemed to change. Until one day, she saw Luo Gang holding the nurse's hand, and the nurse was shyly leaning on his chest, and smiled.

The nurse and Luo Gang did not hold a wedding, but simply merged the two families into one place, and the banquet was set, but only some neighbors were invited, and the excitement was for others to see, and the two had no relatives here, so there was no need to force formal etiquette.

Yan Qingshuang moved out of the nurse's house and will live alone in the future, and she is slightly lonely and can hardly hide her joy. The poor nurse and her really have a home and relatives this time.

As their lives gradually became more prosperous, Luo Gang enclosed a piece of land in an uninhabited meadow, raised a few fat sheep, and bought a few good foals. Every morning, Yan Qingshuang would go to their small pasture to herd sheep and cut grass.

On that day, the weather was fine and green.

Yan Qingshuang sat lazily basking in the sun on the white cashmere blanket next to the fence, her eyes squinting slightly, drowsy, and a chess game on her lap. In the past two days, Yan Qingshuang became obsessed with Go at Luo Gang, and studied hard without sleeping or eating. Luo Gang was very pleased, and under his guidance, her literary and martial arts have made great progress.

Not far from the pasture, there was a neighing sound of horses, and one person scolded: "This dead horse dares to fall on me, I must chop it up and make soup when I go back." ”

Another person laughed and teased: "Don't you want me to brag that this horse can travel thousands of miles a day, why did you kneel down before you ran, haha." ”

The man shouted angrily, picked up the horsewhip and scolded while pumping the horse: "See that I don't kill you dead horse, dare to disgrace your uncle,"

The horse screamed sadly, and the man next to him applauded and laughed as if watching a play: "Good fight, good fight." ”

The horse was beaten and screamed, and the black and shiny fur was beaten with flesh, as if it was inlaid with strips of red silk, and the horse was beaten so painfully that he tore off the reins from his master's hand in a hurry, and ran out in this direction.

When the man saw the horse running away, he exclaimed, "Damn brute, you have run away, chase after you." With a wave of his hand, the two galloped away.

With a loud bang, the fence of the ranch was broken by the horse, Yan Qingshuang hit a spirit, and when he looked back, the fence of the ranch was opened.

She went over to check, but saw a black horse lying on the ground, screaming in a low voice. The horse was black and brightly colored, with only a white vertical line the size of a man's middle finger between his forehead and eyes, which was extremely rare.

The black horse's body was covered with bright red blood, she felt a pain in her heart, remembered her experience of being beaten, and stroked the mane on the black horse's back with pity, and whispered, "It hurts." Pity and tenderness in his eyes.

The eyes of the black horse are dark and bright, very spiritual, the horse and the person look at each other, the emotional exchange is not only with the same kind, all living objects can be in a certain situation center of the mind to communicate. She felt the mood of the horses at this time. Tears ran down the horse's eyes and onto the back of her hand.

This is the first time she knows that horses can also shed tears, and most human tears represent sadness and pain, and what does horse tears represent, maybe only the horse himself knows. He took the tears as gratitude and a request.

The two went around and finally found the trace of the dark horse, and of course Yan Qingshuang was also found.

She looked at them coldly, two teenagers, one wearing a high-necked brown wide-sleeved robe, a fur hat of the same color, a pair of high leather boots, a black cowhide belt around his waist, a golden broadsword hanging from his belt, and a snow-white eagle on his shoulder. The other was wearing a dark gray leather coat and hat, black leather boots, holding a bloodstained leather whip in one hand, and a blood-red horse in the other. She immediately raised her vigilance.

The gray-clothed young man gasped, pointed at the black horse and shouted in fluent Chinese, "So it's here." ”

She turned her face coldly, brushing the fur on the black horse's back, and ignored them. The gray-clothed young man said angrily, "Hey, that's my horse." ”

She doesn't lift her eyelids, and she is very proud. The gray-clothed young man was provoked by her cold attitude, but the brown-clothed young man looked at the girl with interest.

This girl is not as tall as the local girl, her manners are vulgar, she is thin and slender, her skin is fair, her chin is pointed, and her temperament is cold and arrogant.

It took her a long time to stand up, her eyebrows sideways, and she said to them disdainfully: "Make a price, I want this horse." The condescending tone was quite provocative.

The gray-clothed young man was angry, pointed at her and shouted, "What are you, dare to talk to me like this." ”

Yan Qingshuang clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes showed sarcasm, and she sneered: "Then what are you?" ”

Seeing that the young man in gray was about to make a move, the young man in brown hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry. His eyes were quick-witted, and he smiled and said, "Little girl, I don't buy this horse, but if you can outrun my red flaming horse on this horse, I will give it to you, and if you lose, you will be a slave for me for a year, how about it?" ”

She tilted her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly reached out to the shoulder of the brown-clothed young man and said, "And the white eagle, also give it to me." She was completely commanding, not giving the other party any room for negotiation.

The young man in brown was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl would retreat from the difficulty, but he didn't expect that she would not only bravely face the battle, but also automatically increase the price, looking like she was winning. Such arrogance and self-confidence, like a fiery horse, inspired him to be competitive even more. He nodded and smiled, "Well, if you win, the eagle and the horse will be yours." ”

The gray-clothed young man was dissatisfied: "Why, it's just a stinky girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, as for it, you can just teach it a lesson." ”

The brown-clothed young man's face sank, and he raised his hand and patted his head and said, "It's more convenient to take it back to be a slave and teach it a lesson." ”

The young man in gray smiled and said, "You shouldn't have taken a fancy to her." ”

The brown-clothed young man sneered: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach, I just have a crush on her, can't you?" ”

The gray-clothed young man put one hand on his shoulder and whispered to him, "Then you have to watch, this is a wild horse that is not easy to deal with, be careful that she bites you." ”

The young man in brown looked at her figure and whipped and said, "Horses can't bite me, only wolves on the grassland are qualified to bite me." ”

The two of them laughed in their own language, and Yan Qingshuang was a little impatient. The gray-clothed boy immediately chose the venue for the competition, and the rules of the competition were set by her.

Yan Qingshuang and the brown-clothed boy led the horses to the stakes by the fence as a starting point. The two got on the horse at the same time, and the gray-clothed boy waited at the finish line with a red cloth in his hand, and whoever got the red cloth in his hand first and tied it to the stake won the prize.

The young man in brown patted the red horse, the red horse seemed to be inspired, high-spirited, majestic, and then looked at Yan Qingshuang's dark horse, his body was full of scars, his expression was aggrieved, and he was full of sickness. The young man in brown said lazily: "It's too late to quit now." ”

She sneered and said, "I just hope that you are willing to gamble and lose and not rely on your debts." ”

The brown-clothed young man laughed and said, "I really don't know whether I live or die, but my courage is commendable." ”

After saying that, the two turned over and got on their horses together, and the gray-clothed boy shouted "start" at the finish line, and the two horses galloped, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As expected, Red Horse led the way. The young man in brown was very proud, and he turned around from time to time and laughed at Yan Qingshuang. Undisturbed by it, she steadfastly steaded the black horse, staring straight ahead, staring at the red cloth like a wolf staring at its prey.

The sound of horses' hooves was dense like rain, the red horse was getting closer and closer to the gray-clothed boy, the brown-clothed young man was blowing slogans, holding the reins with one hand, and raising his feet as if showing off his skills, and the gray-clothed young man also danced with his hands, and victory came in a moment.

Just when they got carried away, Yan Qingshuang suddenly retreated away from the stirrups and rushed upward, tapped the horse's back with both feet, turned his head in the air, floated forward diagonally, grabbed the red cloth in the hands of the gray-clothed young man, and then turned around and landed steadily on the horse's back, pulling the reins lightly, and the horse immediately turned around and ran back and forth.

The brown-clothed young man was shocked and anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly turned the horse's head, but in this way, Yan Qingshuang, who was originally backward, ran ahead of him.

He urged the horse to catch up, the red horse divine horse, and after a while the two went hand in hand, the brown boy saw the red cloth in her hand fluttering in the wind, annoyed and angry, and pulled out the golden knife on his waist with his backhand and cut it at her arm, in order to save face, he did not hesitate to remove her arm alive.

Yan Qingshuang heard the knife wind coming, calmed down, stretched out his hand to his waist, the brown-clothed young man only felt a flash of cold light, and the metal collided with each other, and when he looked at it again, the golden knife in his hand had been broken into two pieces, and a section of the knife head was submerged in the grass.

The brown-clothed young man held a half-handled broken knife in his hand and was in a cold sweat, and for a while he forgot to urge the horse forward, Yan Qingshuang ran to the wooden stake non-stop, and inserted the silver knife into his waist with his hand, and then waved it hard, and the red cloth was tightly wrapped around the wooden stake.

The red cloth was bright in color and eye-catching, she held the reins alone with one hand, her upper body was straight, her cold knife-like gaze swept over the brown young man, and she said arrogantly and nobly: "You lost." ”

When she got home that day, Luo Gang was excited to see the horse that Yan Qingshuang had won, and she also felt that she had finally raised her eyebrows. Luo Gang circled around the horse a few times and said: "It's a good horse, it's really a great joy in life for a thousand miles of horses to meet Bole, this horse looks strange, but there is no name." ”

Yan Qingshuang said: "I don't know what his previous owner called it, but now that it belongs to me, it should receive a new name." ”

Luo Gang touched the white line on the horse's head and said, "I'll give it a name, I don't know if you like it?" Call the spirit rhino, you see how it is. As soon as Yan Qingshuang heard this name, she immediately thought of the allusion in Li Shangyin's poem, and clapped her hands and said yes. Since then, the Lingxi BMW has become her mount.
