"Boom" Li Hong woke up from the bed. He dreamed that he and Lao Dao were struck by lightning!

At this time, it was not yet dawn, Li Hong couldn't sleep anymore, and he was still very energetic, it seemed that the qi trick pill given by the old Tao was useful.

Li Hong heard someone talking outside the window, and it was very noisy.

Li Hong walked to the side of the bed and opened the window wide to look out, outside the window was the backyard of the store, Li Hong saw that a group of men dressed in Western Regions clothes were talking in the backyard, but how did Li Hong feel that this group of Western Regions people were different from what he saw in the imperial city.

There were also animals in the backyard, horses, donkeys, dogs, and some unnamed animals. Presumably it was taken advantage of the drought and no one wanted livestock to buy it at a low price, but these animals are too honest and quiet.

Li Hong felt bored and closed the window again, and went back to bed to lie down.

"The kid went downstairs to eat, I'm hungry." Lao Dao called Li Hong up, and the two came downstairs to find a place to do it.

"Shopkeeper, bring you up early." Lao Dao said to the shopkeeper again, Lao Dao's spirit and spirit did not look like he had just woken up.

After a while, the shopkeeper came with two plates of sweet potatoes. "The two are objective and slow to use."

Xiao Er was just about to leave, Li Hong hurriedly waved his hand, "Wait a minute, why is there no white porridge, how can you swallow sweet potatoes so dry in the morning?" ”

Xiao Er bent down and said with a smile: "The guest officer came from out of town, and he should have seen the displaced people fleeing the famine along the way, and he must have known that we are in a drought, and the white porridge still needs to be added with water, and the most lacking thing now is water." ”

Li Hong rubbed his eyes that were back from sleep, "Yes, I'm abrupt, you can go busily." ”

"No, you give me back." Li Hong suddenly became energetic.

"Are you a big bully in the store, looking at us as an old and a young bully?" Li Hong patted the table and said.

Xiao Er hurriedly made compensation, "Guest officer, where did you start with this?" ”

"Let me ask you, is there a group of merchants from the Western Regions in your store?" Li Hong.

"Yes, it's been a while." Xiao Er replied.

"Then let me ask you, do they have a lot of livestock?" Li Hong.

"Yes, there have always been a lot of livestock." Xiao Er replied.

"Your livestock don't drink water, you say that there is a great drought and lack of water, those animals drink more than people in a day, and you say that your store has no water to make porridge?" Li Hong questioned again.

"My livestock drink water, but his livestock really don't drink water." Xiao Er said innocently.

Li Hong burst into foul language, "You tease me?" ”

"Boy, don't worry, let the little brother finish speaking." Old-fashioned persuasion.

Last night, before Lao Dao went to bed, he found out about the backyard, and he was also curious.

"This old man is right, guest officer, you wait for me to finish." Xiao Er said and made it to the table.

"It's also strange to see this thing, I've seen so many merchants traveling from south to north here, and it's the first time I've seen this." The shopkeeper Xiao Er saw a lot of people, and it can be said that he was the most well-informed in ancient times.

"To the point, don't ink." Li Hong said urgently.

"Okay, the merchants of the Western Regions deliberately chartered the entire backyard after staying in the hotel, and brought a lot of livestock back the next day, our shopkeeper was in a hurry, in this year of drought, people can't live how can they still raise livestock, so they went up to talk to the people of the Western Regions."

Xiao Er wanted to pour a cup of tea and drink it, but found that the tea cup was empty, so he put it down embarrassedly, and continued.

"The merchant of the Western Regions, told the shopkeeper that they take care of these livestock by themselves, and we don't have to worry about it, and it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, and if they took out an extra three taels of silver, the boss let them live."

"I thought they were carrying water outside, but I had never seen them, and the strangest thing was that the shopkeeper had been instructed not to feed the livestock, and the beasts were so quiet that if you didn't see them, you wouldn't know there was a bunch of them in the backyard. Guest, you really wronged me just now. ”

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, Lao Dao took out five copper plates and threw them to Xiao Er.

"This is a reward for you, our grandfather and I like to hear some strange things, and we will come to talk to us in the future and have a reward." Lao Dao said to Xiao Er.

"Don't you think it's a little weird, old man?" Li Hong said as he nibbled on a sweet potato.

"It's strange or weird, most of the beasts of the Old Dao Sect still want to drink water, why don't these mortal beasts drink it? Maybe people in the Western Regions have their own cultivation methods. Lao Dao also nibbled on sweet potatoes and said.

"Yes, this is someone else's business, and now it's still hard for people to live, what do you care about those beasts, let's go outside after eating." After the two finished eating, they stood up and prepared to go out.

Li Hong stared at Lao Dao and said: "Lao Dao, are you going to deceive people again and do something hurtful, I dreamed last night that the two of us were struck by lightning." ”

"I don't bother to explain to an ignorant kid like you." The two of them walked on the road of Qingshan City with their mouths crossed.

At this time, Qingshan City Road was sparsely populated, the shops were closed, and there were no escapees on the streets.

Passers-by said that this Qingyang City is close to the Central Plains, and most of the residents in the city have gone to the Central Plains area. The passer-by left without asking why.

"Boy, let's go a little deeper into the two lakes, and we can't ask anything here." Lao Dao said to Li Hong.

"It's okay, I'll go to the Jinyi Guard in Qingshan City and lead two fast horses." Li Hong said.

"No, you follow the old way, don't you want to know how you got here?" Lao Dao dragged Li Hong into the alley where no one was.

Lao Dao stretched out his wrist with his right hand and flipped it, an ancient sword came out of his hand, and threw it into the air, and the ancient sword was suspended in the air, and Lao Dao jumped up and stood on the sword.

Li Hong's eyes widened and he looked at it, feeling a little familiar.

"Why are you still stunned, come up and leave." Road.

Li Hong suddenly realized that yesterday in the Taoist temple, it was the old Taoist who dragged him, stepped on the sword and flew, and then a thunderbolt struck.

"No, you'll be struck by lightning." Li Hong turned around to leave, but Lao Dao flew to the front to stop him.

"Lao Dao was an accident yesterday, you still have to believe Lao Dao." The old man straightened his body, and he was like a fairy wind and bones.

I believe you are a ghost, the bad old man is very bad, but Li Hong's curiosity still prevails over reason.

The ancient sword was more than three feet in the air, Li Hong bent his legs and bounced towards the left wall, and at the moment when he was about to touch the wall, his right foot kicked the wall to borrow strength, and turned around and jumped towards the ancient sword.

When his left foot was about to step on the ancient sword, the ancient sword suddenly retreated an inch, and Li Hong stepped on the air and fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Lao Dao's feet just shook a little." Saying that, Lao Dao controlled the ancient sword to fall, five feet above the ground. Li Hong got up from the ground and stood up the stairs as if he were going up the stairs.

"Hey, did you mean to fix me?" Li Hong glared at the back of the old man and said.

"Boy, don't talk nonsense, it's you who are too vain, don't irritate me, I'll tremble again in a while, but it's not a three-foot high place to fall." The old man walked with his sword behind his back.

After Li Hong heard this, he looked down, and at this time he had already seen half of Qingshan City, and the height was still rising, Li Hong hurriedly hugged Lao Dao.

"Don't touch me, boy, take your hands off." Lao Dao scolded.

"No, I won't let it go if I am killed, it is so high, I will become a patty if I fall." Li Hong's hands tightened.

"Boy, when Lao Dao was young, he flew with a sword in one hand, and he fought all over the sect invincible, don't worry." Road.

"I'm relieved, but I won't let go!" Li Hong shouted.

At this time, Lao Dao made two squats on the flying sword, and shook his left and right feet, as if he was doing a stretching exercise. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Edgeworth has flown yet, so I'll show you the real technique today."

"Don't." Li Hong hurriedly stopped it, his feet could tremble no matter how tall he was, and if he wanted to shake it in the sky, there would be no one left.

I saw that the old road stopped in the air, and Li Hongxin put it down.

Suddenly, swooping downward, and when he was about to land, Lao Dao stomped his left foot, the tip of the sword rose, and flew into the air, and spun rapidly, the lines on the ancient sword kept flashing, and the formation protected the two.

Lao Dao played for a while, preparing to land on the edgeworth.

"Boy, is this sword flying handsome, do you want to learn?" The old man said in a smug voice. "The kid asked you, were you stunned?"

There was no sound yet, and when Lao Dao looked back, Li Hong didn't know when he fainted and collapsed on the sword.

Lao Dao hurriedly landed on the sword and checked it, but fortunately he just fainted, Lao Dao was too happy to forget that Li Hong was an ordinary person.

Lao Dao checked Li Hong's dantian again, and found that the dantian and the meridians were about to be opened, and it was precisely because of this that Li Hong just fainted, and there was no shock.

Lao Dao injected Li Hong with true qi again, and Li Hong woke up.

"Old, Dao, where are we?" Li Hong is no longer good at speaking, and he walks with fluttering, this Li Hong is also unlucky, he fainted so many times in less than a week, it would be good to be alive.

"There are a lot of refugees here, we have already flown 200 miles away, you are an ordinary person with the sequelae of Edgeworth's flight, just sleep, don't talk too much." The old man said with a weak heart.

Li Hong followed the old road, and before he had gone far, he saw a merchant from the Western Regions talking to the fleeing child again, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he saw the merchant leading the child away.

At first, I didn't pay attention to it, in the year of the catastrophe, buying and selling people as household members, and it was normal to ask for food in ancient times. After walking a short distance, I saw a few merchants from the Western Regions.

When he was in the imperial city, Li Hong often went to listen to those merchants who paid tribute from the Western Regions, talked about some things in the Western Regions, and knew a little about the merchants of the Western Regions, they were all jewelry, silk, spices, and other items.

I haven't heard of anyone buying and selling children, and the Ming Law prohibits the sale of human beings and hurts nature and reason, one or two are fortunate to hide from the government, but there are many people but they will be arrested by the government, and the punishment is worse than death.

Li Hong always felt a little strange and couldn't say it.
