In my memory, the only thing I know about XZ is Lhasa and the Potala Palace, and I heard a lot of teachers talk about it when I was in school.

As soon as the train entered the station, I leaned on the window and looked at the buildings passing in front of me, and my heart was excited.

After getting off the train, I walked out of the station with the flow of people and stood on the street to look at this strange city, surrounded by pedestrians in colorful Tibetan costumes from time to time. I couldn't help but look at it twice.

As I walked down the street, the train station was littered with stalls shouting at pedestrians, and I turned around with interest.

Then I saw a stall with knives of all kinds, and the owner did not keep shouting like the other vendors, so I walked over and looked closely, when an inconspicuous short knife caught my attention.

I squatted down and picked up the short knife and looked at it carefully, the workmanship was a little rough, the knife should be only forty or fifty centimeters long, and there were some patterns on the handle of the whole black knife, I took it in my hand and tried it and felt good.

At this time, the vendor sitting opposite me said to me: "Friend, you are really good at picking, this is my good product, this is the Zao knife, sharpened iron like clay, it is a good treasure for home protection, I will tell you......"

I listened patiently to his introduction, looked at the vendor and felt that his expression was very obscene, although I didn't know what the Zao knife in his mouth was, but I said: "Zao knife, you are used to slaughtering tourists, right?" You're trying to slaughter me when I just come back. After finishing speaking, there was a hint of disdain, and his expression was not leaking, and the vendor seemed to be a little stunned. So I put down the knife in my hand and was about to get up, when the vendor hurriedly said: "Hey, little brother, don't worry, don't worry, this is also what I received from others, but according to the description in the ancient books, it must be the Zao knife, I see that you are a knowledgeable person, or give a price, I will almost sell it." ”

I stood there and thought about it, I really didn't have much experience, and said, "You can make an offer, I'll see if I can accept it." "Actually, I have already made up my mind in my heart, no matter how much he opens, I will only give half of it.

I stood in front of him with my hands on my chest and quietly watched him leak a slight smile recently, and the hawker rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "How about eight hundred, it's an imitation, and it's also a good material worth this price."

I sneered twice: "Eight hundred? If you want to go crazy for money, you can sell it for up to 400, if you can't do it, forget it. When I got home, I had time to go around the city on my own. ”

As soon as the words fell, I turned around and left, I deliberately slowed down and waited for the vendor to call me, I don't know why I always felt that this knife was very close to me, a strong premonition told me that I had to buy it or I would regret it, slowly I walked farther and farther, but my heart began to be anxious, screaming, why don't you call me.

"Okay, okay, I don't make money if I don't open today, come on, come back," the vendor finally shouted at me, I stood in the distance and sighed in my heart: It's okay!

After paying the money, the vendor found a scabbard and put the knife in it, handed it to me, and instructed me: "Little brother, I will tell you first, knives and other things will not be returned or exchanged for sale, and your use has nothing to do with me, you understand what I mean?" ”

I looked at his serious look, smiled and agreed, and left, walking on the road with the short knife I had just bought, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

"You've been cheated by him," a voice came from behind me, and I turned to see that it was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who had just spoken, dressed in tatters, and who looked like a beggar.

At this time, he said: "I can take you to the market in the east for a few dozen yuan a knife, and I smiled bitterly twice after hearing it, and it seemed that I was still inexperienced, and asked: "Where did he buy this for me?" ”

The boy shook his head and said, "This is what he received from a poor Tibetan for fifty yuan from me, and there is a similar one in the eastern market."

When I heard this, I looked at the vendor, and saw that he was smiling and putting the money I had just given him in his clothes.

I thought for a moment and said to the boy, "Can you take me to the market?" The boy nodded and said, "No problem, fifty dollars"

"Fifty? Damn, I'll ask you to show the way, and you still need fifty? Then I'll ask myself" I was annoyed in my heart about what had just been pitted, but I didn't expect that this boy who looked simple was even more ruthless than that peddler, slaughtering people openly and honestly, and treating me as a fat chicken.

I ignored him and turned around and walked outside, at this time the boy was a little flustered, and immediately ran to me and said: "Thirty, thirty, I'll take you there", I shook my head expressionlessly, the boy gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "At least twenty, if it doesn't work, you can inquire yourself"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately said, "Deal", and the boy looked at me without saying a word, and walked outside, and I followed behind him.

Walking on the road, he kept inquiring about my situation, I was vigilant, at first it was a little perfunctory, and finally I saw that he asked more and more deeply, and simply stopped talking. When the boy saw me like this, he stopped asking, but told me that if I wanted a guide, I would look for him.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, we arrived at a somewhat remote open-air market, which was crowded with people and full of shouts.

The boy said to me, "Inside is the market, antiques and ceramics are all there, wholesale and retail sales are cheaper than outside." I nodded.

I followed the boy around the market, and after a while, I was convinced that I had been cheated, and a knife like the one in my hand in the market was sold for about fifty yuan, and it was cheaper in wholesale, and the only thing I was fortunate enough to go around the market and not find a knife exactly like mine, nor did I have a strong desire to buy.

In this way, my originally annoyed heart gradually calmed down, at least it was not a ubiquitous stall, and I happily put the knife in my clothes and said to the boy, "Let's go"

The boy looked at me in some surprise: "You don't want to buy something?" I shook my head, he seemed a little disappointed, and walked out with me without saying anything, I was a little confused when I saw him suddenly so low.

Walking on the road, I looked at the customs and customs with great interest, and my originally dull heart gradually relaxed, but it didn't take long to see my wanted notice on the display board at the exit.

I looked at a recent photo of me on the wanted post, which I didn't have myself, and the rest was just some information about me. Finally, it was also written that if the public provided clues about the suspect, a reward of 100,000 yuan would be awarded.

After reading the wanted notice, my face immediately sank, it seems that Lhasa can't stay, it must be the ghost cat guessed that it was me that day, and found out where I went through the train, at this time the boy looked at me from a distance and said: "I said you can't get out yet"

I took another deep look at the wanted notice and turned and walked out, and as soon as I got out, I took out a hundred bills and said coldly to the boy, "Take me to the bus station"

The boy immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Big brother, follow me", I shook my head, damn, what kind of world is this, if you give it to twenty, you will ignore it, and if you give it to a hundred, you will become a big brother.

The boy led the way and walked in front of me, at this time he suddenly said: "Big brother, you are the wanted Chen Hao", at this time I was shocked, a hand reached into the clothes and held the knife, the boy calmly continued: "You don't have to worry, if you kill me, you won't be able to get out, I won't report you, although I really want the 100,000 yuan, but I want my life" After speaking, the boy stopped and turned to look at me.

I looked at him calmly, and after a while, I put down my hand holding the knife and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" The boy grinned: "Give me a thousand".

I said calmly: "You don't want 100,000 yuan, you ask me for 1,000?" The boy said without hesitation: "Although I affirmed in my heart that you are a wanted criminal, but I can't call the police, if I get to the long-distance station, I will call the police, and then the police arrest you, I won't think that I helped me, so I won't be able to get the money, the gains outweigh the losses, it's better to extort you a thousand yuan, hehe" After speaking, he laughed twice, revealing a hint of cunning.

I watched him not speak, but his brain was running quickly to see what he was leaking out of, and then the boy said again: "Actually, you don't have to leave, Lhasa is very loosely managed, as long as you disguise yourself well, no one will find you"

"What's your name?" That's when I finally spoke.

"Niu Huan, Han Chinese"

"Niu Huan, Niu Huan" I whispered two sentences and then smiled and said to him, "Your name is like a girl."

Niu Huan said indifferently: "I don't think, my family is poor, my mother hopes that I can be happy and happy, I like this name a lot." ”

I nodded "Well, take me to a safe place, I want to rest"

"Then you're not going to the long-distance station?" Niu Huan asked suspiciously.

"No, don't worry, I'll pay you the rest of the way except for a thousand yuan, but you can't leave my side from now on, or I'll kill you," I walked forward slowly.

Niu Huan stood in place and thought for a while, muttered a few words and chased after him......

ps: Niu Huan is an important role, extremely amazing in the later stage, it is precisely because of him that there is the later sword king Chen Hao, who used blood to fight for Chen Hao for half his life.
