Chapter 77: A Hundred Miles of Donkey

"The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article? Good! Alas! When Gongsun Helan raised his arm to applaud, a bitter pain drilled from his right arm to his heart, he squatted down, grinned, raised his head and shouted at Liu Yiyi: "Big brother, what's going on?" How can it hurt more than when you take it off? ”

Liu Yiyi also bent his legs and squatted down, one hand supported Gongsun Helan's armpit, and the other hand rubbed his shoulder rhythmically and gently, and said: "Who asked you to do such a drastic action, you think that your arm is an iron arm, and you can use it freely as soon as you install it?" ”

After speaking, Liu Yiyi made a great effort to restore the somewhat misplaced joints to their original positions. Then he stood up and said, "All right, get up." Remember not to move your arms, it will recover after an hour. ”

"Mmmmmmmm The pain just now made him feel a little palpitating, and that feeling was even more uncomfortable than someone else stabbing him. Naturally, he didn't dare to move anymore.

"Donkey?!" Liu Yi looked around in the cattle market, and he didn't see his favorite ploughing ox, but the excellent donkey let him see one.

The body is short, white-haired, thin, and the coat color is a little tired, and ordinary people don't bother to stop in front of it for a moment longer, and everyone who sees it will walk away in disgust. Even its owner just put it in an inconspicuous corner.

It's a donkey.

Liu Yi circled around it twice, his eyes were attentive and restrained, his breathing was short and powerful, and his bones were short but compact and coordinated. and its conspicuous white hair, which is even more different.

This is a hundred-mile donkey, the best among donkeys!

"This boy wants to buy a donkey?" When the donkey boss saw that someone was interested in his skinny donkey, he rushed up. Pointing to the healthy donkey he tied to the position of the heel, he said: "If Childe wants to buy a donkey, you can go over there to choose, this sick donkey is afraid that it will be difficult to enter Childe's eyes." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yiyi waved his hand and said, "This little donkey is just enough to make a banquet for all donkeys, and it's too wasteful to use a big donkey." Tell me, how much money does this little donkey cost? ”

It turned out to be for cooking, no wonder. The donkey boss looked Liu Yi up and down, dressed in coarse linen clothes, his hair was a little scattered, and he often had a smile on his face, like a subordinate who often waited for people. Such people usually don't have much oil and water on them, but if this skinny donkey can make a move, it would be a good thing. The donkey boss smiled and said to Liu Yiyi: "This little brother is really a good eye!" He patted the donkey on the back with his hand and said, "Although this donkey is a little smaller, it has not a lot of meat on it, and it is the most suitable for cooking." And the price is cheap enough, only 500 Wen. ”

"Five hundred wen? It's a little meaning, this son is out. Gongsun Helan also rubbed his arm and followed at this time, and said in a wealthy manner: "Big brother, since you want to eat the whole donkey feast, the younger brother must be satisfied, and the donkey money will be paid by the younger brother." Gongsun Helan looked around the little donkey for a while, and said, "But this donkey is too small, why don't we change it to a bigger one?" ”

Liu Yiyi glanced at him angrily, this mallet, isn't it obvious that people will slaughter it?

I didn't bother to bargain with the donkey boss anymore, and I couldn't lose anything if I bought a hundred-mile donkey for 500 yuan. Liu Yiyi took out half of the money directly from his arms, handed it to the donkey boss, and said, "I want this donkey, this is five hundred silver coins." ”

So refreshing? I'll have said more if I knew it. The donkey boss took the money and began to regret it a little in his heart. In fact, when he saw Gongsun Helan, he guessed that Liu Yiyi was very likely to be a big family, but he had already said the price first, and he couldn't change it. Bending down to untie the rope of the little donkey, the donkey boss said, "Do you want to look at the other donkeys?" It's also a good idea to buy one to use as a mount. Although the donkey's feet are not as fast as a horse's, its endurance is notoriously durable, and it does not seem too bumpy on its back. It's a good horse for a long journey. ”

"Thank you boss for your kindness, but this donkey, we have enough to have one, and we will leave." Liu Yiyi arched his hand at the donkey boss and led the donkey away. Gongsun Helan followed.

"Big brother!" Gongsun Helan hurried two steps and asked, "What is the use of you buying this donkey?" He also saw that Liu Yiyi's purpose in buying a donkey was not for donkey meat.

Liu Yiyi stroked the little donkey's head, and couldn't help but think of the legend about the hundred-mile donkey, so he replied to Gongsun Helan: "I bought this foal for transportation. ”

"Transportation? That's it? Gongsun Helan didn't laugh out loud, "Big brother, can it carry you is still talking, you want to use it to travel, isn't it some, well, child's play?" After a pause, Gongsun Helan continued: "If the eldest brother is interested, the younger brother will give the eldest brother a good horse another day, and it will be a hundred times better than this little donkey!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yiyi turned his head to look at Gongsun Helan and chuckled: "A hundred times better than it?" Hehe, Brother Helan Xian, it's not big brother's nonsense, if one of those horses in your house can match this donkey, the eldest brother will give you all the methods of today's wrong bones! ”

Isn't this guy crazy? Gongsun Helan took the folding fan out of his arms and shook it habitually, he has known Liu Yiyi for so long, Liu Yiyi has always been humble and indifferent, and he is definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense. He must have a basis for saying these words here.

But on what basis did he rely on it? Could it be that there is anything so special about this skinny donkey? Gongsun Helan set his eyes on the white-haired donkey held by Liu Yiyi.

Except for the eye-catching white hair, this donkey is almost useless, with short limbs, a thin body, and ears that have been drooping, this kind of donkey may not even be able to walk by humans, how can it be a match for horses?

Remembering what Liu Yiyi said before, look at the spirit first, then look at the muscles and bones, and then the appearance. So when looking at donkeys, is it the same?

Gongsun Helan surrounded the little donkey and observed it carefully, not to mention, it really made him find something different.

First of all, the donkey's eyes are agile and serene, not at all rigid like other animals. It looks like, like you're looking at a wise child.

There is also its skeleton, Gongsun Helan touched the body of the little donkey, strong, compact, and perfect. Its limbs, in particular, appear rather coarse compared to its skinny body. What does this mean? It shows that the donkey's weight-bearing capacity is not weak, and it will be quite powerful when it runs.

"This donkey is good at running, but can it really outrun the horses of my Gongsun Mansion?" Gongsun Helan asked Liu Yiyi.
