"Seeing your appearance, I think of him, hey, people like to think about it when they are old. The noodle stall owner's eyes were a little ruddy, and he laughed at himself.

"Who do you remember?" Yang Xiao asked casually.

"My son. The last time I saw him, he was your age. When you come to eat noodles, I only eat one bowl of somen at a time. At that time, the monsters were restless, and Nanli City was facing the threat of the beast tide. ”

That day, as usual, after eating a bowl of somen noodles made by my own hands, he joined the army against the beast tide without hesitation. Unexpectedly, it was the last time I met him, and I haven't heard from him since. When I saw you this time, I remembered him. I always have the image of him coming back all of a sudden, just like you, and that's good. ”

"I stopped him at the time, I said that the beast tide was too dangerous, and his cultivation was very low, and it was easy to not be able to come back if he went. But he didn't listen to me, saying that it was his mission to defend Nanli City. Now it seems that if I had persevered a little more, I might have been able to impress him. ”

After speaking, the boss choked up a little, and seemed to have a trace of regret.

Silent, Yang Xiao didn't know what to say at this time, and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Haha, I'm sorry to ruin your mood. When people are old, they love to talk, thank you for your willingness to listen to me so much. Thank you!"

After saying that, the boss took out a delicate bracelet from his pocket and carefully stroked it on it.

"What is this?"

"After the beast tide was over, I went to the battlefield myself. My son didn't even have a whole body left, only an arm, with the bracelet I had given him before. ”

"Although Ling Gongzi is still glorious in death, he is a hero of Nanli City. Uncle, people can't be resurrected after death, so let's mourn and change. After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he patted the uncle on the shoulder, got up and left the noodle stall.

When you lose your child in old age, there is nothing more painful in the world than this. Although it is a sad story, in fact, his son's words alone should be satisfied before he dies. His son's goal in life is this, to die defending his city, to die on the battlefield, is not a kind of perfection!

As usual, after eating, Yang Xiao prepared to go back to the dormitory of the Nanli Sect to cultivate. Cultivating this kind of thing, although he usually can't see any improvement, but Yang Xiao is consistent, relying on his enthusiasm, I believe that as long as the time comes, he will naturally break through.

"Yang Xiao, there is your letter. ”

When Yang Xiao was cultivating, a voice called him came from outside the door.

"Probably from my father. Originally, it was an extremely bad thing for someone to interrupt my cultivation, but when I thought that it might have been written by my father, my anger suddenly disappeared, and I even couldn't wait.

"Yang Xiao, right, here you go. ”

"Thank you. ”

When I got the envelope, my hand trembling slightly. I have just experienced something uncomfortable when I am alone, and if I can hear some words from my father at this time, my heart will feel a lot better.

"Xiao'er, it's been almost a month since you left the sect, and your mother and Xiaoyin and I miss you a little. I didn't know if you were doing there? I was going to see you when this year's grain was harvested, but recently a meteorite fell from the mountains near the village, and the entire surrounding trees were burned, and of course, the crops in our fields were not spared. Then came batch after batch of cultivators, and I guess it might have something to do with the meteorite. Now those outsiders haven't left yet, and when this matter is done, Dad is going to see you in person. Finally, take care of yourself. ”

Yang Xiao read and read, there were some tears in his eyes, and he missed his relatives in the distance, and remembered the faces of his father, mother and Xiaoyin, and couldn't help but be a little moved. After thinking about it, instead of bothering my father to travel for half a month to come to the south and leave the city in person, it is better to go back by myself and see the current situation at home, anyway, there is nothing to do now, and the cultivation day after day is inevitably a little boring.

"It's about half a month's journey from home to the south, and it's a waste of time to walk back, so let's rent a horse! ”

Yang Xiao took out the silver coin he had left and looked at it, "Speaking of which, I woke up right away that day!" Yang Xiao remembered the sturdy black-maned horse and the mysterious boy.

"Yo, officer, buy a horse or rent a horse?" As soon as he arrived at the store, a guy came forward to ask.

"Rent a horse and go home. ”

"Okay, please come with me and take you to see the horses. ”

"The guest officer looks a little raw, this is the first time to come to our horse shop. On the way to the stable, the man spoke again.

"The horses in our shop, unlike those old and weak horses in the horse market, are carefully selected good horses to ensure that you are worth the money. ”

"When you get there, go inside from here, the more horses you get inside, the better the price, and the price will be correspondingly more expensive, you see what price you want. ”

After saying that, the guy began to introduce again.

"This outermost brown horse can travel 200 miles a day with a deposit of 500 copper coins and a rent for 3 copper coins a day. ”

"Where's this one?" Yang Xiao asked, walking a little further inside.

"220 per day, 800 deposit, 4 copper coins a day. ”

Yang Xiao walked in again, but found something different, the brown horse in the third bar looked much stronger and better than the other horses, even Yang Xiao a layman could see that whether it was muscles, appearance, or spirit, it was better than this horse.

"Where's this one?"

"Guest officer, this horse can travel 300 miles a day, the deposit is only 800, and 4 copper coins a day. ”

"It's just that this horse has a strong personality and is difficult for ordinary people to tame, do you want to try it?"

"But the rule of our store is that if you don't tame it, you have to pay for one day. The guy reminded.

Yang Xiao walked into the horse, stretched out his hand from the outside to touch the horse's head to see, but the horse suddenly jumped high in the front hooves and neighed loudly, Yang Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, "It's really a good temper!" Yang Xiao smiled.

Putting down the package, Yang Xiao took out a pear and took a bite and said, "Take it out!"

The man led the horse out of the stable, and Yang Xiao ate half of the pear, and put the remaining half to the brown horse's mouth, but the horse turned its head to one side, and looked like it was not eating, and it was very proud.

"It's a little difficult!" Yang Xiao said secretly in his heart. "Try it first. ”

Yang Xiao dropped the pear, pulled up the reins and prepared to go up. However, before Yang Xiao stepped on his second foot, the horse suddenly jumped up and shook off, directly throwing Yang Xiao off.

After dropping Yang Xiao down, the horse glanced at Yang Xiao with contempt and slowly walked away.

"It's just a horse, you dare to look at me like this!" Yang Xiao was extremely unhappy in his heart.

Yang Xiao was not convinced, and tried several more times, but all of them ended in failure, and he fell with a bruise and a swollen piece on his body.

"Okay!" Yang Xiao could only give up.

This horse didn't look at Yang Xiao at all, he looked down on Yang Xiao at all, and with Yang Xiao's current cultivation and strength, he couldn't control this horse at all. No wonder the guy reminded him.

"Let's change the horse! The 500 horse will be brought to me to try. Yang Xiao wiped the beads of sweat and said helplessly.

Watching the guy take the brown horse away, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in himself. "I have been in the south of the city for more than a month, I haven't made any friends, and I rely on casual workers to make a living, in addition to doing casual work every day is to practice in the dormitory, and I was bullied, and now I can't even tame a horse. Hey, nothing can be accomplished, let's go home and relax!" Yang Xiao said helplessly.
