As early as last night, Zhang Taiping received all the animals, including two buckets of sables, into the space and prepared to take the train home, so it was inconvenient to take these animals with him. Only Xiaoxi was left outside to relieve the boredom of the two.

Out of the village, the two of them went in the direction pointed out by Ye Ling, there was a town, the little girl had also gone to the town alone in the past two years to sell herbs or mountain fruits and mushrooms picked on the mountain, and knew where there was a small train station, and she had also stood next to the railway and watched the train whistling by like a long dragon.

The town is not big, and the train station is only a small station, but there are quite a few people waiting for the train in the station. A green car happened to pass by at noon, and the nearest sleeper won't be there until tomorrow afternoon. Zhang Taiping didn't want to delay time here, so he bought two green tickets. It's still morning, and after buying a lot of food to eat on the bus, two people, one big and one small, sit in the waiting station and wait.

Although the little girl has experienced a lot of hardships and is much more mature than her peers, she is only about ten years old, and after sitting in the station for a long time, she was attracted by the crowd of people coming and going and the various vendors on the side of the station, forgetting her sadness for a while, and turning her head curiously to look at the lively scene at the station. I used to live with my grandmother in a village on the side of the mountain, and I rarely saw such a scene.

Zhang Taiping looked at her and asked with a smile, "How old is Ling'er this year?" ”

The little girl is no longer afraid of Zhang Taiping, and when she heard Zhang Taiping's question, she sat up straight and replied seriously: "Back to the master's words, Ling'er is nine years old." ”

At that time, when Zhang Taiping didn't know what name to take her away, he wanted her to recognize him as his godfather, but when he thought that he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, it was a little inappropriate. When I was entangled, I happened to see the Tai'a sword that was turned out of the box, and the little girl kowtowed a few times and became an apprentice. This is not only easier to deal with in terms of seniority, but also really has the idea of passing on the sword skills of the old man Zhang Wufu.

looked at her as serious as a little adult, and said with a wry smile: "Don't be so nervous, you just treat me as a relative and talk." ”

"Hmm." Still nodded earnestly.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help it, he was still a little strange now, and he might not be so restrained after getting along for a while, he rubbed her head and asked, "Nine years old, so has Ling'er ever gone to school?" ”

"Nope." The little girl shook her head, and added, "I lived with my grandmother at the bottom of the mountain until she finally got sick," and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

Zhang Taiping saw that the little girl remembered the sad things and had a tendency to cry, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Then you learned Mandarin from your grandmother?" ”

"Well, grandma said she was from Yanjing."

"Oh." Zhang Taiping didn't dwell on this issue when he got a little information, pointed to the rock sugar gourd outside the station and asked, "Do you want to eat that?" ”

The little girl glanced at the rock sugar gourd that Zhang Taiping was referring to, and shook her head with big bright eyes.

Zhang Taiping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his speaking strategy. Ye Ling is not a child like Yaya, her mature mind may have reached the level of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Besides, she is also ice and snow smart, and she can't be treated as an ordinary child. It seems that she should be treated as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in order to communicate better.

Standing up, he walked up to the vendor who sold rock sugar gourds and bought three skewers. Hand a string to Ye Ling, keep a string in his hand, and hand the remaining string made of strawberries to Xiao Xi on his shoulder, blocking its small mouth that was already chirping.

Ye Ling took the sugar gourd, looked at Zhang Taiping, ignored the strange eyes next to him, and ate it by himself, and followed suit. Zhang Taiping estimated that if he just bought her a bunch, the little girl would not want it. It was only when she ate that she looked like a nine-year-old girl.

After eating the rock sugar gourd, the little girl temporarily walked out of her grief only to find that Zhang Taiping was missing a few figures, and asked, "Master, where are your big dog and dark horse?" There are also two eagles. ”

Zhang Taiping pointed to the sky and said: "The eagle will fly above the sky, as for the big dog and the black horse, they will go back by themselves, don't worry." ”

At half past twelve, the deerskin train, which had been delayed for half an hour, finally arrived. The train only stayed at the small station for twenty minutes, and as soon as the train stopped, the people in the station rushed to use it, and the already tight carriages were tightly stuffed, and there was no gap.

Zhang Taiping insisted on squeezing out a small space, allowing the little girl to spread a newspaper on the ground and sit and rest for a while. The people next to him complained about Zhang Taiping's domineering behavior, and a few young people deliberately squeezed him behind him, but he stood there like an iron tower without moving, he turned his head and glanced at it, and no one deliberately squeezed him anymore.

After two days of exertion and excessive sadness, the little girl was already exhausted, and fell asleep after sitting on the ground for a while. Even when he fell asleep, he hugged his backpack tightly, as if he had dreamed of something bad, and frowned tightly.

I was really tired, and I slept until the train entered the station in Wuhai City at night. The little girl looked at the sky outside and was a little bored, and followed Zhang Taiping down from the train. After a good night's sleep, she looked more refreshed, looking at the bustling night scene of flashing red lights and cars passing through her surroundings, a scene she had never seen before in a small mountain village. "Master, where is this?"

"This is Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia, and we can go home after we meet up with a few friends of the master." Zhang Taiping replied. Although the little girl didn't understand where Inner Mongolia and Wuhai City were, she didn't ask more, but silently remembered the names of these two places in her heart.

called Zhao Qingsi at the gate of the train station and learned that she had arrived at the Wuhai Marriott Hotel, and the others had also arrived. Hanging up the phone, Zhang Taiping casually blocked a car and sat down and said the location.

After Ye Ling got into the car, she didn't dare to move a little, she was still sitting in a car for the first time, although there was no motion sickness, but she was shocked by the novelty inside. Zhang Taiping watched her sit there a little stiffly, and patted her back to make her relax.

She is now like a piece of jade and a piece of rice paper, which can be carved into treasures and dyed in various colors. And Zhang Taiping will be the carving of this piece of jade, but he is not the dyer of this paper, and the only person who can dye this paper is himself in the big dye vat of society and Rong.

When the car stopped in front of the hotel, there were already several people standing at the door waiting. Seeing Zhang Taiping get out of the car, Zhao Qingsi asked, "Why did it take so long to come back?" ”

Zhang Taiping was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he was in a trance, and then he calmed down and said: "After going around the grassland, I ran to the northeast again." ”

"Brother Zhang, you're finally back." It was Kong Fei who came up to speak with a smile.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Kong Fei, you are also here." ”

"Haha, of course, let's go back together." Kong Fei said with a laugh.

"What is this?" Yang Wanli saw Ye Ling, who was carrying a big bag behind Zhang Taiping, and asked curiously.

"My apprentice."

"Your apprentice?" Several people, including Zhao Qingsi, were very surprised, this is not a martial arts world.

"Hmm." Zhang Taiping and the others walked into the box, and while he picked out what he had experienced during this time, he could say something.

Yang Wanli was a little surprised when he heard it: "You said you found a grimace Tibetan mastiff?" The voice was almost hard to shout.

"Yes, a few more horses." Zhang Taiping nodded and said affirmatively.

"Where? Get it out and take a look. ”

"Do you think that a big dog and a horse can get on the train? I have already asked someone to transport it back, and I can see it when I get home. ”

"Well, when I go back, I must go to your place to see what this legendary ghost-faced Tibetan mastiff looks like." Yang Wanli rubbed his hands and said.

Zhao Qingsi had no interest in these dogs and horses, but had some sympathy for Ye Ling's life experience, and touched her little brain.

Entering the box, the other people were inside, and after seeing each other, there was a round of greetings. While eating, everyone set the number and time of the return trip, and it is expected to leave at noon tomorrow.

Two days later, I left Xi'an Railway Station. The time for everyone to come out this time was not short, and they all returned to their hearts like arrows, and they scattered at the gate of the station and went home. In the end, only Zhang Taiping, Yang Wanli and Zhao Qingsi were left.

Yang Wanli said to Zhang Taiping: "I'll go back to report first, and I'll go to Brother Zhang in two days to see your harvest on the grassland this time." ”

"When the time comes, good wine and good food will be entertained."

"Haha, that's a deal." Joked and stopped a car and left.

After Yang Wanli left, Zhang Taiping said to Zhao Qingsi: "Can you help Ye Ling bring to the village, I still have some things." ”

Zhao Qingsi was about to go back to the village to see his grandfather and sister, so he nodded and didn't ask Zhang Taiping anything. Ye Ling was well-behaved and reasonable, and followed Zhao Qingsi back to the village first under Zhang Taiping's instructions.

Zhang Taiping went to the teahouse next to the flower market alone and took out the motorcycle. When I rode into the mountains, I found a place where no one was and released the animals. Needless to say, Grimace and Little Golden Wind were among the horses, in addition to the black dragon, the brown-red horse and foal that were the first to be collected into the space on the top of the snowy mountain. Of course, I didn't forget to release the sable.

After entering the mountain, Xiaoxi had already flown back to report the news. Zhang Taiping rode a motorcycle, led several animals, and roared towards his home.
