Chapter 21: Buying a Horse
After consolidating the lower cultivation, the blood-colored light in Dai Li's eyes had faded, but the night and the dense forest in front of her were unobstructed in her eyes, as if it was in the daytime.
She searched for the clothes of these black-clothed people with her hands and feet, and found some silver and two elixirs, which were not of high grade, just some ordinary hemostatic scatters, corpse water and Yi Rong Dan, in other words, only these killers can use this corpse water, and Yi Rong Dan is a necessary medicine for escape and travel!
"Poor ghost! Your masters are stingy enough! But this elixir is still useful to me."
Dai Li put more than 100 taels of silver and elixir into his arms, and his body rushed to the dark forest, disappearing without a trace, and these corpses Dai Li was not worried at all, there are countless immortals and demons in this Xianxia world, and there are ghosts that eat people alive, not to mention being sucked blood, and there will be wild beasts to eat these corpses cleanly!
Originally, Dai Li was running late at night, and after such a way, she delayed a lot of time, and when she ran halfway up the mountain, she had already seen the fish belly turn white.
The clear morning light shimmered in a quiet mountain stream, the stream flowed with broken light, Dai Li washed the blood on her face against the gurgling stream, only to find that her eyes seemed to be a little different than before, as if they were brighter, as if there was some hidden light, Dai Li's eyes narrowed, and the stream water was sprinkled on his face, and the mirror image on the water surface was shattered.
In the shade of the trees in the shadow of the mountain stream, the previous clothes have been stained with a lot of blood, and they must not be worn! Dai Li quickly changed into a loose and light simple robe, took Yi Rong Dan, attached his true qi to his face, his facial features gradually distorted, and soon became a girl about 15 years old, the reason why he wanted to change the girl's appearance was because those people in the Dai family only knew that he was a man, but it was difficult to think that she would become an ordinary girl.
Qili Pavilion is a tea shop located in Luoxing City and Qinglong Town, where pedestrians will rest for a while, drink a bowl of tea, or eat a few steamed buns to drive away hunger and thirst.
The owner of the tea shop is a man with a generous face and a strong body, and the merchants in the past also asked him why he did not join the army, but wanted to degenerate into a steamed bun seller, after all, the Great Xia Kingdom is now under the invasion of foreign enemies, and many towns are recruiting military soldiers, but people just laughed and got a sentence "Afraid of death!" ”
Afraid of death, who is not afraid of death, there is no cultivation talent, joining the army is just pinning your head to the waistband of your trousers, it is better to be a bandit to be easy, and to be the captain of a small detachment in the army requires the cultivation of the four layers of the day after tomorrow, and to replace the previous cultivation, hehe, you can only be cannon fodder or a gang leader.
Just as the businessmen were eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, there was an endless "noise" next to them
Dai Li's facial features are ordinary, her skin is darker, and with the wooden look she can pretend, people who don't know her think it's a wooden village girl at first glance, and this village girl is talking about business~
The horse vendors are doing business here, because the horses who come and go are often hiccuping, and they are definitely sure to make a profit when they do business at this time, but slaughtering fat sheep is the most adrenaline fun for them, but the hawkers are not interested in seeing the appearance of leaving the land without garbage, but they are used to spewing out such a sentence.
"Little girl, this horse is good! Fat and strong! Run fast! It's not a problem to travel a thousand miles a day! ”
Dai Li turned sideways to avoid the spittle from the vendor, took a step back, and pointed to the belly of a horse next to him with an extremely wooden expression, "Fat? Do you mean its big belly? My mother said that if you have such a big belly, you should be seven or eight months pregnant, and you won't run a hundred meters away to give birth to me."
Poof, the merchants who drank tea not far away were sprayed, and even the owner of the tea shop couldn't help but look at it with a wry smile.
The hawker has been cut by countless people, but he has not been squeezed by people like this, but this little girl still looks very honest!
His face was red, and he shouted angrily, "What a pregnancy, he is male!" Male! And horse fat can store fat and run long distances, you don't understand! I don't understand! ”
Dai Li touched his nose and sighed lightly, as if he had approved of the hawker's words, which made the hawker breathe a sigh of relief, yes, it would be easy to sell this rotten horse, and he would not be tired of bragging to others.
As a result, after a while, Dai Li did not take out the silver taels, but said directly, "Can you run far if you are fat?" Then I might as well buy a pig, and if I am hungry, I can cut some meat and cook it."
Many businessmen were overjoyed on the table, and the owner of the tea shop smiled and said aloud, "I said that your boy will sell him a better horse, what do you have to do with this broken horse and let people squeeze it, not to mention that this little girl's eyes are bright!" ”
The peddler was helpless, snorted coldly, and saw that the other party was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he had to take out another horse from the stable.
The price was quickly negotiated, and Dai Li himself did not have the habit of bargaining, and this hawker saw that Dai Li was very dark inside, and he was afraid that he would be run on again, so he did not ask for a sky-high price, but made a real price.
This horse is barely strong, tall and strong, four hooves are powerful, and the color of the coat on the body is also beautiful, Dai Li is satisfied, so he directly took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and threw it to the hawker, when the hawker rushed to catch the silver two, he stared at him on tiptoe, and Lisuo turned over on the horse, pulled the reins, and shouted, "Drive!" The horse spread its hooves and ran towards the path ahead
The boss wiped his hands with a rag, walked out of it, and saw the smoke and dust rolled up by Dai Li's horseback on the trail, "Oh, Lao Tzu has lost his eyes, this girl is very tough", where can a rural girl have such beautiful horseback riding!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Falling Star City Dai Family, Yu Qi Courtyard, Mrs. Yu was a little uneasy, it was already noon at the moment, and the person who was sent there climbed back even if she crawled, but she still didn't hear the news back, which made her not a little interested in the nourishing beauty decoction that the Dai family bought with a lot of money in front of her.
And her usual subordinate Manager Wang was also surprised, why haven't those bastard boys come back yet, could it be that someone else has robbed the road? Impossible
The two of them had different thoughts, and the room was a little quiet for a while, and after a while, the footsteps of the steward came from outside the house, a little hurried, and his voice was also a little panicked, "Madam Yu, all the people we sent are dead!" The corpses are all eaten by wild beasts on the green hills, and I just sent someone to find their bones."
"What!" Madame Yu's hand shook, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and she was still delicate and charming before.
"Whoever killed us means that the little brute may have escaped, and someone may be protecting her! Send more people over, and be sure to kill her before the big competition in the clan! ”
What she is afraid of is not that Dai Li can surpass her son, because that is impossible, what she is afraid of is that Dai Li's cultivation talent will be restored, so even if she is not as good as her own son, with Ye Ranqiu's status and Dai Bokong's love, she can firmly sit in the position of the eldest son!
She would not allow that to come to fruition!
――――――――
Dai Li rode a horse and galloped in the vast world, the mountains and flowing water became especially lovely in her eyes, the breathing in her mouth and nose made her feel more comfortable, at this moment she had to slightly find the vitality of a human being, but after only a while she regained her composure, she now has to find a place to settle down and spend the night, otherwise it will be too dangerous to travel at night.
There are no villages here, because it is already some distance from Falling Star City, and it is too difficult to find a place to stay, Dai Li hesitated several times whether he should enter the mountains and forests for the night, but he was afraid of a wild beast attack.
As the moon was about to climb into the sky, Dai Li finally stopped in front of a red-walled temple that was neither too small nor too small.
Da Da, the horse's hooves stepped on the shallow hoof prints on the ground that was neither soft nor hard, and Dai Li tied the horse rope to the pillar at the door, and then strode into the temple.
The temple is not big or small, there is only one or two people in the front hall as high as the Buddha statue, because the moonlight is dark, and there is no candle lit, looking up from the side of the generation, there is no trace of solemnity at all, but it looks extraordinarily gloomy.
