Finally finished counting, Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, the number of horses here is not much, there are not too many horses, more than a dozen horse dealers, asked a few people, but the situation in the past few months, the person who was asked also sighed, said: "If you catch up with the peaceful days in previous years, this horse market will be lively, see no, there is a large vacant land in the east, it used to be a horse market, when there are many people, there are three or four hundred horses in the horse market, and there are more than a thousand customers!" ”

After speaking, he sighed again, probably remembering the peaceful days of the previous prosperous times!

Liu Zhi didn't speak, glanced at Fang Xingtian, and saw that he was a little absent-minded, and his head kept tilting towards a place they had passed by before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Zhi took a look and found that there was a skinny horse there, the horse didn't look very old, but it was very thin, there was no excess meat on the body, the ribs were protruding, and there were deep traces printed on the horse's belly, all said that the horse was thin and long, and this pony was not like this, it seemed to have some skin disease, the hair on its body was a little mottled, the mane was not very long, and it was uneven, one piece was there, one piece was not, it looked like it had been bitten off or artificially pulled out.

Liu Zhi felt strange, such a pony who seemed to be useless, why was Fang Xingtian so interested?

He walked over suspiciously, and Fang Xingtian saw him passing in that direction, and hurriedly followed behind.

Coming to the fence of this horse, Liu Zhi was taken aback, there was actually an equally skinny child under this thin pony, could it be that Fang Xingtian saw this child before and understood compassion?

He turned his head and glanced at Fang Xingtian suspiciously, Fang Xingtian nodded hurriedly, as if he was affirming what he was thinking.

Liu Zhi looked at a child curled up together, dirty clothes, thin body, sloppy hair, nesting where he was motionless, if it weren't for the slightly undulating abdomen that he was still alive, Liu Zhi would have thought that he was dead.

Judging from the appearance, it is impossible to tell whether the child is a boy or a girl, and from the size of the child, the age of the child is estimated to be about seven or eight years old. But why did you come to the horse market?

In order to take care of the victims who fled to Taiyuan from all over the country, Dou Jiande set up a few porridge tents in the city, and homeless people can receive an identity plate here, and then they can receive at least one bowl of porridge to drink every day, if there is a bowl of porridge, this child will not be hungry like this, but why don't they go there?

Liu Zhi frowned and looked around, there are no horse dealers here in this fence, so he doesn't know who this skinny horse is, he doesn't care much about this horse now, but he cares about this child very much.

He gestured to Fang Xingtian, Fang Xingtian nodded, stretched out his hand to pull open the fence, walked in, squatted in front of this child, glanced at him, turned around and whispered: "It's a girl!" ”

This time, Liu Zhi's brows furrowed even more, this child is still a girl, how could he end up here? What about her family?

"Wake up, little friend, where is your family?"

Liu Zhi walked over, shook the girl who looked like she was asleep, and asked softly.

The little girl woke up slowly, opened her eyes, and glanced at Liu Zhi helplessly and confusedly, and then at Fang Xingtian, as if she was a little more confused.

"Big brother, are you going to buy my horse?"

The little girl Nunu was body, and she wanted to do it, her eyes were full of hope, and she looked at Liu Zhi and asked.

The little girl could see it accurately, and she could see at a glance that he was the one in charge, so she spoke directly to him.

"This horse is yours?"

Liu Zhi saw that although her body was thin and her image was a little unbearable, her voice just now was quite normal, so the worry in her heart was slightly lowered, and the little girl's physical condition should not be too bad.

"Uh-huh, it's Junru's horse!"

The little girl had sat up by this time, leaned against the fence of the horse, and put on a posture of a customer coming to the door to discuss business.

Liu Zhi was slightly surprised, not that this little girl wanted to do business with him, but that this little girl actually had a name, which was really strange.

Women in the Sui and Tang dynasties generally did not have a name, unless it was a family with a high status, they would name their children, many years later the Great Zhou Emperor Wu Zetian was one of them, she had no name, and there was no name to ascend the throne, which was very troublesome, so I gave myself a "Cao" name, this character is a rare character, and it is even more troublesome to write in traditional Chinese, anyway, Liu Zhi doesn't know much.

This little girl has a name, which means that she is definitely not an ordinary person, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, she was heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, and she didn't look like a businessman from her appearance, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty killed a lot of ministers, and the number of people who distributed them was countless, and she was likely to be one of them.

"The horse is obedient, after selling you, you and Junru will have food to eat, and you don't have to starve anymore!"

The little girl put it in the ear of the sick thin horse, and whispered to the thin horse, it seems that this person is a little dependent on each other.

"How old are you? What are the specialties? ”

Liu Zhi was not going to buy a horse, he was concerned about the little girl's body, and now he was a little curious about her identity, her age was only seven or eight years old, and in the future she was only the age of elementary school, but in this cruel society, she had come to the brink of death, this thin horse did not sell well, it couldn't sell much, even if it was shot, the money she got was not enough to feed her, and now the world is in a scuffle, prices are soaring, and the price of rice is from the initial few pennies a bucket, has already reached dozens of wen to hundreds of wen a bucket of rice, she sold her horse, and the money she got couldn't last long.

"This horse's name is Xiaohong, he is only one year old this year, big brother, do you want to buy Xiaohong?"

uh····· Now Liu Zhi was a little surprised, this little girl has a name, even if she is surprised, she didn't think much about it, but her little horse actually has a name, which is very surprising, it can be seen from her loving eyes on this pony that this horse is her pony, one year old, but it is really too small, no wonder she looks so thin, the pony's hair is messy, and eighty percent has something to do with the little girl not being able to take care of it.

"Big brother, if you buy it, please be sure to treat it well, Xiaohong's mother is a good horse, Xiaohong's qualifications are not bad, but Junru didn't feed it well, so ····· That's why it doesn't look so good-looking, but if Xiaohong grows up, it must be a good horse·····"

The little girl couldn't help but feel very worried when she saw that Liu Zhi glanced at the horse and didn't look interested, and tried her best to sell her pony to Liu Zhi at this time.

sighed, this kid, he can't take care of himself, and he is still thinking about his horse, looking like that, he doesn't want to let himself buy it, but it is estimated that he is really hungry, so he will sell the horse in pain, which reminds him of a story that Luo Shixin told him before, saying that when Qin Qiong was a fast hunter in Shandong, he was framed by others in the process of chasing fugitives again, and he was extremely depressed, and he had no choice but to sell his little yellow horse, and his yellow horse was a BMW. After being bought by a wealthy merchant, he reluctantly followed others every day, which made the man feel very helpless, and finally asked him for his identity and returned the horse to him.

This story was later tampered with by the storyteller, and it became Qin Qiong selling horses to Erxianzhuang and getting acquainted with Shan Xiongxin, Liu Zhi asked Qin Qiong before, he didn't know Shan Xiongxin, think about it, one side is the official army, the other side is the anti-thief, but Qin Qiong is Zhang Xutuo's subordinate, Shan Xiongxin is Zhai Rang's subordinate, the two sides are inseparable, if there is really this layer of personal affection in it, it will be very embarrassing.

Giving Fang Xing Angel a look, this kid shook his head stupidly, Liu Zhi kicked him, and then he suddenly took out his money bag, it seems that there must be an attendant by his side, this kid is obviously not qualified.

"You horse... Pony, I want it, you can make an offer! ”

Liu Zhi took the money bag and prepared to take out the money, the currency at this time was mainly copper coins, and there were always 1,000 copper coins, weighing six or seven catties, and at this time the silver ticket had not yet been born, so the average person would not carry too much copper coins, but carry some broken silver, compared to copper coins, the volume and value of silver are more suitable to carry on the body.

The little girl's face was filled with hope, she glanced at Liu Zhi cautiously, and said, "Big brother, I don't want your money, but I have a request!" ”

The little girl's tone was very similar to that of the bargaining horse dealers in the horse market, and it seemed that she had secretly learned this.

Liu Zhi was curious in his heart, what kind of calculation did this little girl have in her heart, her eyes were dripping and rolling, she must have no good intentions, and listen to what she wanted.

"Well, you name it!"

Liu Zhi tried to make an open-minded expression that didn't care, but failed, Fang Xingtian turned his head and snickered on the side, Liu Zhi kicked him again, and now he felt comfortable.

The little girl didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two, she lowered her head, and said timidly in a very low voice: "Big brother, can you let me follow you and let me take care of the little red horse·····

The voice was very low, the little girl seemed to be very embarrassed, with an embarrassed expression, sitting on the grass, bowing her head, as if she was a child who had made a mistake, uh, she was originally a child.

Fang Xingtian on the side was still holding back his laughter, he couldn't laugh when he heard this, he glanced at Liu Zhi, and said to the little girl Nunu, Liu Zhi knew what he meant, the two of them had already decided to go to Guanzhong next, and then go west from Guanzhong, ready to go to the Western Regions, there must be a lot of problems along the way, and it is not strange to encounter military disasters and bandits, both of them have martial arts, Fang Xingtian's martial arts are strong, Liu Zhi is not far behind, but he is not too worried, even if he can't beat it, if he rides a horse, it is not very difficult to get out, But if they take this little girl, then they will have to hire a carriage, after passing the Xiao Pass, continue to go west, there will be horse bandits, the road is also very dusty, the little girl is weak, she must not be able to stand it, must hire a carriage.

Not only that, with a little girl, the speed of the two will be slowed down a lot, and the energy of the two will be dispersed if they encounter an unexpected situation on the road, so he means that they can't take it.

It's been a long time since I came to this world, if you want to talk about the compassion of modern people, Liu Zhi doesn't mean that there is no, but it's no longer as starry as it was at the beginning, for example, if this matter is changed to before, he will not hesitate to take this little girl, but he doesn't have to take her to the Western Regions, even if she is in Guanzhong, she can also be handed over to the personnel of Langya Pavilion in Chang'an, let them take care of this little girl, and they can still leave on their own.

But at this time, he was obviously thinking more, why did this little girl make such a request? Is this a bureau? He and Fang Xingtian were recognized? Want to use your compassion to break into the interior of Langya Pavilion?

This may not be nothing, after thinking about it, he can't help but be very worried, so he is a little hesitant, but if the little girl's pitiful eyes make his heart can't think about it more, although this little girl is dirty and sloppy, but her eyes are very pure, and it looks reassuring, it must be that she is too suspicious, she is so small, how can she be a spy of the enemy, impossible things, even if it is true, just let them pay more attention after staying in Chang'an.

A little girl, how much more waves can she make!

"That's ······"

Liu Zhi already had a plan in his heart, but he still made a hesitant look on his face, and Fang Xingtian on the side saw that he was still hesitating, so he hurriedly glanced at him, for fear that he had made a wrong decision.

The little girl was obviously very nervous, for fear that Liu Zhi would reject her, as Liu Zhi had thought before, the money she got from buying a horse alone could not provide her with the money she could get, and after seeing Liu Zhi and Fang Xingtian, she began to observe carefully, in fact, she didn't get too many useful things, she only knew that this person looked like a good person, and she was kind-hearted, but she didn't have too many choices, because with just a thin pony, not many people would be interested, Even if this horse is really a thousand horses, now this appearance is completely reminiscent of a thousand horses, so she doesn't really have many opportunities, and since there is an opportunity in front of her, she will naturally not let it go.

"Please, Junru will definitely repay you for being a cow and a horse in the future!"

The little girl was obviously in a hurry, and she said that she was a cow and a horse, and the calmness and calmness of her previous pretense were gone.
