059 Bandits on the road

People came and went, and before they knew it, Ling Yun and Xiaozhu came to the horse market.

As far as the eye can see, I see mules and horses, donkeys are bustling on the horse stakes in the horse market, many mules and horse dealers are sitting in the shade to enjoy the coolness, horse manure everywhere, under the scorching sun, the smell is extremely unpleasant.

Xiaozhu looked at Ling Yun and asked, "Childe, are you going to buy a horse?" How good it is to take a boat, that is, save money and be fast. ”

Ling Yun didn't answer Xiaozhu's words directly, but just smiled slightly and said, "Xiaozhu, can you ride a horse?" ”

Xiaozhu replied thoughtfully: "Following our young lady, sometimes traveling long distances, I will slowly learn." ”

Ling Yun was a little excited when he heard this, and grabbed Xiaozhu's arm and said, "Then let's buy two horses, don't take a boat and take a dry road, by the way, you teach me to ride a horse." ”

Xiaozhu looked at Ling Yun and said in disbelief: "It turns out that Gongzi can't ride a horse!" ”

Ling Yun nodded and said, "What's so strange about this?" Not to mention horseback riding, I haven't even seen a real horse a few times before. ”

In fact, it's not that Lingyun is lying, before he crossed over, Lingyun lived in the city, even if he sometimes dug graves, it was still in the dark night, the means of transportation were all cars, and who would ride a horse like in ancient times.

Xiaozhu frowned with some concern and said, "That son has been offended." ”

Ling Yun smiled and said, "Isn't it just learning to ride a horse?" What is the sin? ”

Xiaozhu sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'll know when the son rides a horse." ”

After speaking, the two walked into the horse market.

Yaxing, who was sitting under the pergola to enjoy the shade, watched Lingyun and Xiaozhu enter the horse market, and surrounded them one after another.

The so-called tooth shop is nothing more than an intermediary who acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller, seeking benefits from it.

"Two sons, are you going to buy a horse or ......?" asked the tooth dealers.

For all this, Ling Yun was just a rookie, so he handed over everything to Xiaozhu to buy a horse.

There are not many horses in the horse market, Xiaozhu came to the two white horses, only to see that the horses were tall, fat and healthy, without a trace of miscellaneous hair on their bodies, and they were docile to reach out and stroke gently, but they just snorted at Xiaozhu.

Xiaozhu turned to Yaxing and smiled slightly: "How can these two horses be sold?" ”

Yaxing said with a smile on his face: "Childe really has a vision, these two horses have very good foot strength, although they are not as good as thousands of horses, but they are also rare good horses, and their personalities are also very docile, how does Childe look at this price?" After speaking, Yaxing stretched out his sleeve and was ready to negotiate the price with Xiao Xing.

In fact, the tooth shop negotiates the price, unlike us in the shopping mall to negotiate the price, the ancient people wore wide sleeves, and when they discussed, they put their hands into each other's sleeves and used their fingers to represent the price.

But now that Yaxing has reached over, although Xiaozhu is wearing men's clothes, she is also a woman, how can she reach out and touch her sleeve with Yaxing.

Xiaozhu stretched out his hand and gently dragged Ling Yun beside him, and exhaled in Ling Yun's ear Rulan whispered: "Childe is like this, this, and this." ”

After listening to this, Ling Yun nodded, stretched out his hand, and only felt that Ya Xing gently touched Ling Yun's arm with two fingers and said, "Childe, what do you think about the price of each horse?" ”

Ling Yun stretched out his hand, and in Xiao Zhu's sleeve, he repeated the movement of the tooth line, Xiao Zhu stepped forward and smiled slightly: "This price is a bit expensive, I can only pay half of it." ”

Yaxing shook his head and said, "No, no, at least you have to add fifty percent." ”

Xiaozhu didn't bother to talk to his teeth, so he directly pulled Ling Yun to turn around and make a gesture of leaving: "Add one percent at most, and the deal will be completed if it doesn't work, forget it." ”

Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Ya Xing thought for a while, walked to the old man in front of Ma Zhu, and whispered a few words in his ear, the old man nodded, and Ya Xing came to Ling Yun again and said, "Deal." ”

Xiaozhu smiled slightly, and said to the teeth: "We have never brought extra silver taels on us, your horses are led to the Huai'an Inn, and two pairs of good saddles are prepared for the horses, and they will be settled with you when they arrive at the Huai'an Inn." ”

Ya Xing smiled slightly and said, "Childe, just rest assured, after we prepare the saddle in a while, we will send it to the Huai'an Inn." ”

Xiaozhu just nodded slightly, and walked out of the horse market with Ling Yun.

As soon as he got out of the horse market, Ling Yun asked a little puzzled: "How much money are you discussing, and I am confused about how to listen." ”

Xiaozhu smiled at Ling Yun and said: "He beats you twice with two fingers, which means two hundred taels per horse, if it is beaten once, it means twenty taels, and what kind of price you want to use, then you use your fingers to represent." ”

Ling Yun nodded, and said thoughtfully: "So it's so simple, if I want to buy it with one hundred and fifty taels, do I use one finger to hit him twice, and then five fingers to hit him once." ”

Xiaozhu nodded again and again: "Childe is so smart, he learned it so quickly." ”

Talking and laughing, Xiaozhu took Lingyun to a rouge gouache shop, Lingyun looked at the gouache shop, and asked a little puzzled, "Are you going to buy rouge gouache?" ”

Xiaozhu shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course it's not to buy rouge gouache, Childe is a costume, no matter where you go, people in the rivers and lakes will recognize Childe at a glance, let's buy a wig here, and then buy a set of robes in a while, as long as Childe doesn't report his home, no one in the rivers and lakes will recognize him at all." ”

Ling Yun also sighed and said: "Yes, now I have enough troubles, more things are better than less, Xiaozhu is still thoughtful." ”

After saying that, the two entered the rouge shop.

The shopkeeper was a woman about thirty years old, and when she saw a customer coming to the store, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ouch, two sons, what are you going to buy?" It's a small shop, but it's full of everything. ”

But as he spoke, his eyes always looked Ling Yun and Xiaozhu up and down.

Being stared at like this by a woman, the designated Xiaozhu felt a little weak in his heart, and thought that his daughter was recognized by others.

After a moment of weakness in his heart, Xiaozhu opened his mouth and asked, "Is the shopkeeper staring like this every time a guest comes in?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "What did Childe say?" Most of the people who often come to the shop to buy rouge gouache are women, but now there are two handsome sons, two such handsome brothers, and concubines are rare, so I took a few more looks, and I hope that the son is not strange. ”

Leaving Xiaozhu to negotiate with the shopkeeper, Ling Yun was looking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, Ling Yun was attracted by a small bottle on the counter, the ceramic vial, fired very exquisitely, without a trace of flaws, the most important thing is that there is a small red paper pasted on the vial, on which the word "perfume" is written.

Ling Yun stretched out his hand and pointed to the small porcelain vase; "Shopkeeper, how much is a bottle of your perfume?"

At this time, the shopkeeper had already negotiated with Xiaozhu, and when he heard Yunyun's words, he smiled and said: "Childe really knows the goods, this is bought from overseas Hongmaozi, we don't have this goods, the capital alone is five taels of silver, and even if you have money, you can't buy it, if Childe wants it, the concubine will not make money!" sold it to the son at the purchase price, and the right was to be familiar with the son. ”

Ling Yun took the perfume and opened it and smelled it, it was actually a rose fragrance, but compared to the perfume of later generations, it was not a star and a half.

Looking at the perfume in his hand, Ling Yunxin said: "This foreigner can really make money, a few pennies of things, actually sold for five taels of silver, and even if you have money, you can't buy it, just this kind of perfume, it's not so difficult to make, if I run a perfume workshop like this, will I still need to do things like stealing chickens and dogs in the future?" ”

"Childe, Childe......" Xiaozhu shouted as he tugged at the placket of the cloud's clothes.

"Ahh Oh! What's the matter? Ling Yun was woken up by Xiaozhu from his stunned state.

"Childe, the things have been bought, the account has been settled, let's go!" Xiaozhu whispered.

"Oh, let's go!" After saying that, the two walked towards the outside of the store.

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, raised his hand at Ling Yun and Xiaozhu and said, "The two sons often come to ......"

The two walked and stopped like this, and walked until sunset, and then returned to the Huai'an Inn.

At this time, in the Huai'an Inn, Yaxing and an old man were holding two white horses with saddles ready, and they were already waiting anxiously outside the inn.

Seeing Ling Yun come back, Ya Xing and the old man stepped forward with a smile on their faces, nodded and said, "The son can be regarded as coming back, and the villain has been waiting here for a long time." ”

Ling Yun also looked embarrassed, and hugged his fists at the two and said, "I bought something on the way, so I delayed for a while, but it made the two of you wait for a long time." ”

Instead, Ling Yun said to the shopkeeper: "Little Er, take the horse back to the stable, and be sure to feed it with good forage." ”

"Master, don't worry!" After saying that, he led the two horses into the backyard of the inn.

Ling Yun smiled at the two of them, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "The two of you will go to the house with me to get the silver taels." ”

"Childe, please."

Ling Yun returned to his room and paid the money for the horse to the tooth shop and the old man, and the sky gradually darkened.

There was nothing to say all night, but he said that as soon as the next day dawned, Xiaozhu served Ling Yun to dress up, put on a wig, put on a scholarly robe, and looked closely, Ling Yun was no longer dressed in a strange costume, but a teenager dressed as an authentic scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

After breakfast, the two settled the store money, and each led their horses on the journey to Yangzhou.

Out of the city gate, as soon as he went to the official road, Xiaozhu began to explain the essentials of horseback riding to Ling Yun, and Ling Yun didn't know how many times he fell off the horse? Only barely lay on the horse's back, and staggered on it.

Ling Yun also rode a horse and said as he walked: "I knew that I would have taken the boat, why should I suffer this crime, now the bones are falling apart, not to mention, even the butt is worn out." ”

Xiaozhu smiled and said: "Alas, it's hard to buy a thousand gold, I knew that there is no regret medicine in the world, and the slave maid had already reminded Gongzi, but Gongzi didn't listen, who is to blame?" ”

Being said by a little girl, Ling Yun straightened up and said in her heart: "I still don't believe it, every girl in the family can ride a horse, we are also men, and we can't ask women to look flat." ”

Thinking of this, Ling Yun waved the horsewhip in his hand, learned to ride a horse on TV, made a very handsome posture, and urged the horse to raise the whip and shouted: "Drive"

The horse was in pain, and immediately ran away on all four hooves on the official road and galloped away.

And Ling Yun, who was sitting on horseback, grabbed the saddle bridge with both hands, staggering, and was about to fall off the horse's back again and again, but he sat up straight again and again, and saw the green hills and trees on both sides of the official road flashing towards the back of his head.

Seeing Lingyun urging the horse to leave, Xiaozhu was worried, and he also raised the whip to urge the horse to chase after him.

With running out of more than thirty miles in one go, Ling Yun basically mastered a little bit of horseback riding, so that he would not sway on horseback, and Xiaozhu who followed him gradually caught up.

Seeing that Xiaozhu had already caught up, Ling Yun raised his whip again to urge the horse, and pretended to chant loudly:

The prancing horse whips up the proud Shenzhou, and laughs at the spring and autumn of the wind and clouds.

3,000 troubles are left behind, and 100,000 mountains are roaming.

Ran out of more than ten miles in one breath again, and walked to a canyon, the gorge walls on both sides of the official road were like axes and knives, and the frightened birds continued to fly in the valley, and at this time, Lingyun's whole body was also scattered, the bones everywhere were in pain, and the muscles of the body were already sore and sore.

After running wildly for dozens of miles in a row, the interest in riding a horse gradually faded, so Ling Yun dismounted and led the horse and Xiaozhu side by side.

And when Xiaozhu saw Lingyun who walked like a gorilla, he felt both funny and a little heartache in his heart.

When the two of them staggered and were about to walk into the canyon, they only heard the sound of gongs in the woods, shouting to kill the heavens, and a group of two or three hundred bandits with knives, guns, and firearms rushed out of the woods and surrounded Ling Yun and Xiaozhu in the middle.
