Xiao Yin noticed the pause in Ran Qiunian's words, so he asked in a voice, "What's wrong?" But someone bullied you? ”

Ran Qiunian shook her head, she was afraid that Xiao Yin would be angry, so she didn't plan to tell him about being robbed by the fire at the black-hearted post station before.

Seeing that Ran Qiunian didn't say anything, Xiao Yin didn't continue to ask, but he kept an eye in his heart and planned to check it himself.

He was in a coma for two days, which is enough for many things to happen, Ran Qiunian has not been deeply involved in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be times when she is wronged, she doesn't say it, and Xiao Yin is reluctant to force her.

"Where are we now?" Xiao Yin changed the question and revealed what had just happened like this.

Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "I haven't gone far, it's in the nearest town." ”

"Brother Yin, you can recuperate with peace of mind in the past few days, we have come so far, it is impossible for that group of bandits to chase here. A few days ago, I was busy on the road and didn't have time to rest, so you took this opportunity to heal your injuries thoroughly. ”

Ran Qiunian persuaded her, she still has enough silver in her hand, in this town with little expense, it doesn't hurt to stay for a few more days, and the next few towns to pass by are all prosperous places, but I am afraid that this little silver in her hand will not last long at that time.

Xiao Yin didn't know this, he raised his hand and touched Ran Qiunian's head, but he rejected her: "It's been delayed for two days, and we must arrive in the capital as soon as possible." Bandits are not to be feared, and the hands that support the bandits behind their backs are the most dangerous. We are far from being able to rest assured. ”

"Now that my wounds have begun to heal, it's fine. You've worked hard these days, so I'll take care of the rest, and you can rest. We're going to start again early tomorrow morning. ”

Ran Qiunian was moved by Xiao Yin's words, although she was worried about his injury, but she also knew that the situation was urgent, and if she entered Beijing one day later, she would have to bear the heart for one more day, she nodded helplessly, watched Xiao Yin get up neatly, put on her clothes neatly, and gave up the position on the bed to herself.

"You rest for a while, I'll go to the town and buy some dry food."

Ran Qiunian lay down, leaned on the bed, and nodded carelessly, this thing has always been done by Xiao Yin, and she is used to it, she naturally took out the money bag hidden in her arms and handed it out.

"This silver ......" Xiao Yin took the money bag, and suddenly felt a little puzzled, "Why does it seem to increase instead of decreasing?" ”

When Ran Qiunian heard Xiao Yin's words, her brain was excited, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong, she hurriedly looked at the money bag in Xiao Yin's hand, and faced him with a seemingly unintentional sigh, and thought of a reason to deal with it.

"It must be Brother Yin, you remember wrong. How can there be such a good thing, and the silver can be spent more and more? ”

"Really? Maybe I'm misremembering. Xiao Yin glanced thoughtfully at Ran Qiunian, who hurriedly explained, and had doubts in his heart.

"I'm not sleepy, Brother Yin, your injury is just a little better, you need to rest the most, I'll go to this shopping business, you can rest well at the inn, recuperate your spirits, and continue to travel tomorrow."

Ran Qiunian suddenly remembered the donkey cart parked at the back of the inn, if Xiao Yin saw it, she really couldn't explain what was going on, she just hoped that it could be delayed for a while.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly got down from the bed, smoothed the hem of her clothes, reached out and took the money bag in Xiao Yin's hand, and signaled.

Xiao Yin didn't intend to follow Ran Qiunian's thoughts, he was a little worried in his heart, Ran Qiunian was like this, it was obvious that he was hiding something from him, thinking of the silver in the money bag that was not decreasing but increasing and Ran Qiunian's subconsciously concealed words, he had a bad guess.

"I'll go with you." Xiao Yin said.

Ran Qiunian was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and nodded silently, now she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it, she secretly thought that she had planned to quietly buy a horse from the horse market in the town and come back and replace the donkey, but now it is not good to do so.

She sighed and chose to confess: "I sold the horse and exchanged it for some herbs, and the excess was replaced by a donkey." ”

Xiao Yin knew that Ran Qiunian still had something to hide, otherwise he wouldn't have been so exhausted that he wanted to sell the horse when the money bag was still abundant, he only thought about it for a while, and roughly guessed where Ran Qiunian's silver came from.

His face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "You pawned the white jade plate?" ”

There weren't many valuable things on the two of them, except for the jade pendant on his body, there was only the white jade plate that Ran Qiunian had been carrying.

Facing Xiao Yin's inquiry, Ran Qiunian bit her lip and lowered her eyes to admit it: "No matter how valuable the white jade plate is, it is just a dead thing after all, and it is not a human life, even if my grandmother knows, I believe she will not blame me for making such a choice." ”

"It's something you love, and it means a lot." Xiao Yin said softly, he looked at Ran Qiunian with complicated feelings, the matter had come to this, not to mention that Ran Qiunian did it all for himself, so he didn't say anything.

It's just that this white jade card is bound to be redeemed.

"But we don't have enough money, and we have to travel for many days, and we need it everywhere. The white jade card is a matter of redemption, but we are not in a hurry for a while, otherwise we will send someone to redeem it after we settle down in the capital. ”

The white jade plate is the only token on Ran Qiunian's body that can prove her identity, since she woke up from amnesia, except for Xiao Yin, only this white jade card has always been with her.

Suddenly losing this piece of jade, Ran Qiunian was naturally reluctant, but for the sake of her immediate livelihood, she could only make such a decision.

But Xiao Yin couldn't just watch Ran Qiunian take away his most important thing, he keenly noticed that something was wrong, this time he no longer let Ran Qiunian escape, but asked questions.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ran Qiunian knew that Xiao Yin was asking why he had reached the point of exhaustion, and even the horse and jade pendant were exchanged for silver. Since it has come to this point, she simply did not continue to hide it, and told the truth about the experience of being falsely accused at the black heart post station yesterday.

Sure enough, after hearing the whole story, Xiao Yin suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he said coldly: "It's really too deceitful. ”

"It's not, but the guys at the post station colluded with the shopkeeper to set me up, they are outnumbered, and I have no other way but to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, I really don't want to think about it."

Ran Qiunian was also indignant, the only thing to be thankful for was that the two of them only wanted money, although they were greedy, they were not bad to the bones, and after getting the silver, they also let Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin go.

"Brother Yin, we are living abroad now, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, I think this matter will be left to rest." Although he was unwilling, Ran Qiunian was more concerned about Xiao Yin's injuries, except for this, everything on the side was secondary.

"Don't worry, I have a way to solve it." Xiao Yin knew what Ran Qiunian was worried about, so she only raised her hand and touched Ran Qiunian's head, asking her to leave this matter to herself with peace of mind.

Xiao Yin's words seemed to carry an inexplicable force, which completely calmed Ran Qiunian's heart, which was still a little up and down, she nodded, and went out of the inn with Xiao Yin.

Unexpectedly, the first place Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian to was the horse market on West Street.

They do need a horse to pull the cart, no matter how good it is, as long as it can pull the cart. Thinking of the old and thin donkey in the inn, Ran Qiunian was worried about whether the donkey would die of exhaustion in the middle of the road.

It's a pity that this town is not very prosperous, and there are only a few horses in the horse market, and they don't look very energetic, and they can only be regarded as the inferior horses, and I don't know if they can withstand the long journey.

After watching them one by one, he quickly read all the horses in the horse market, but none of them could satisfy Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin.

"It's still the best of the original, but it's a pity that it was privately detained by the Black Heart Station, and I don't know if it's still in that station?"

Ran Qiunian looked at the inferior horses in the horse market with disappointed eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you two buy my horse? Although my horse doesn't look energetic, I don't have a good foot to say, ten miles and eight towns, and I can get a good horse here. ”

When the horse dealer heard what Ran Qiunian said, he was immediately a little dissatisfied, there are people coming and going, if he really lets Ran Qiunian spread the news that the horses he sells are inferior horses, then will he continue to do business in the future?

"Your horse is indeed not of the highest quality, and what Nian'er said is not wrong. Since you trade horses for a living, you should know how to match horses, and you can tell from the trunk, limbs, and gait of a horse that is good or bad. Presumably there is no need for others to say more? ”

Xiao Yin saw that the horse dealer had a brutal attitude towards Ran Qiunian, so he blocked the person behind him and said in a deep voice.

He didn't say much, but just pointed out a few places, and when the horse dealer saw that he had met an expert, he immediately didn't dare to make a mistake, for fear that Xiao Yin would continue to say it and point out all the flaws on his horses.

"It turns out that Childe is an expert, but I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I am offended, and I hope that Childe will be merciful."

The horse dealer made a move, and seeing that Xiao Yin was unmoved, his eyes rolled, and he noticed Ran Qiunian behind him, and immediately hit the snake on the stick, and apologized to Ran Qiunian with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm a little impulsive." Seeing the horse dealer's attitude of turning 180 degrees, Ran Qiunian was amused by his ability to bend and stretch his face-changing speed, she couldn't hold back a smile and waved her hand again and again, even if the matter was over.

Seeing this, the horse dealer finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that Xiao Yin and Ran Qiunian were about to leave, he suddenly spoke:

"In our small place, these horses are already the best, and naturally they are not as good as those splendid towns. But we also have good horses here, and I heard the day before yesterday that there were thousands of horses in the nearby mountains and forests, dressed in oily and slippery black fur, and there was no way to say that the footsteps were not there. ”

Speaking of this, the horse dealer saw that Ran Qiunian was a little unconvinced, and hurriedly gestured and continued to depict: "My fellow villager who has seen this horse said that by listening to the neighing, you can conclude that it is definitely a rare high-grade foal, but unfortunately the temperament is too strong, and he kicked and injured several waves of horse hunters, and gradually no one caught him." ”
