Chapter 97: Something Isn't Right
The shopkeeper put away the silver, and with a grateful face, replied earnestly:
"Does the guest officer want to go to Fengyundu? That place, a little bit further from here. However, that ferry is the only way to go to the Purple Country, and after crossing this ferry, you will enter the border of the Purple Country. Come on, come on, guest officer, the little one will draw the path for you to see. ”
The two of them squatted in the courtyard, carefully rowed the path to Fengyundu, and explained it once.
Xiao Yu smiled and took the mule:
"That being the case, thank you for the shopkeeper's advice. I have to hurry up next, so I'm leaving! ”
For some reason, the shopkeeper's face suddenly showed a little hesitation.
After struggling for a long time, the shopkeeper said in a whisper:
"Guest officer, since you are the noble envoy of the Nangong family, there is something that the villain must explain to you clearly in advance. The mule you just picked is strong, but some people recognize life, ordinary people, I'm afraid they can't ride it. I bought it and returned it a few times. Why don't you pick another animal now, guest officer? ”
Looking back at the old horse in the stable, and the weak little donkey, Xiao Yu smiled with a hint of bitterness:
"Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I've seen it below, and this mule is more eye-catching. If you're in a hurry, you won't change it, don't do it! ”
Leading the mule out, Xiao Yu flew and jumped on the back of the mule without hesitation.
Recognition? It means that this mule has a strong temperament, and ordinary people can't ride it?! It's just that since my sister debuted, she has never been afraid of being horizontal, cut!
He whipped the mule, and the animal was quite well-behaved, kicking and stomping, and running very hard.
Sitting on the back of the mule, Xiao Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and his thoughts were full of thoughts. A head of black hair, fluttering in the wind.
Although this mule is not as far as the footsteps of a horse, but, according to the shopkeeper, the wind and clouds should be able to reach it after a few days.
Thinking of so many clansmen who were still being tortured over there in Fengyundu, Xiao Yu was suddenly a little anxious, and he just hated to have his wings and fly over there all at once.
Full of worry, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little impetuous, and inevitably kicked the green mule under the seat again.
The green mule, however, suddenly lost his temper.
There was a long hiss, and the beast began to run away with all its might.
Thinking faster, faster, was Xiao Yu's most fundamental and urgent request.
Therefore, without stopping it at all, Xiao Yu clenched the saddle and let it run all the way.
However, running and running, Xiao Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong!
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and took a closer look, and he didn't know when, the beast had already run away from the original official road, and suddenly got into a dense forest on the side of the road.
In the woods, the light was dim, and all around, except for the tapping of mules' hooves, was silent.
Even the most common birdsong is not heard.
At the bottom of Xiao Yu's heart, he felt a little hairy, and he had a little ominous cognition.
Xiao Yu hurriedly grabbed the reins, trying to stop the crazy animal.
The beast hissed again, stopped its hooves, and stumbled desperately on the spot.
Xiao Yu was caught off guard for a while, and was thrown to the ground by the beast all at once.
Xiao Yu only felt that he was dizzy, like a pile of goods, and suddenly fell into the thick grass on the side of the road.
Fortunately, it was summer, and the grass grew wildly, and the grass grew very thick and dense, and it didn't hurt to fall on it.
However, looking back, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be angry:
The brute, after shaking himself off, hissed merrily and ran away without looking back.
Xiao Yu was left alone, lying alone in a bush of wild grass.
