?。 :But! Although you can't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, you can slap him wantonly and finish it!

Liu Cheng's eyes pretended to be cynical, and his tone was full of unfriendliness.

"Zhong Fan? Zhong Gongzi? How come I've never heard of it before? ”

For such an attitude, Zhong Fan was not angry at all, he still greeted him with a smile, at this point, Ye Qingge, who was eating fruit and watching the play next to him, was about to be stunned.

Seeing two good-looking men, such a graceless jealousy, if outsiders know, they will definitely be laughed off.

"Liu Gongzi is right, there is really no fame in Xia, Brother Liu, you haven't heard of it, that's normal."

This person is almost set up at once, but it's really unusual.

Liu Chengxu's face is still not very good, after all, what he saw just now is real, the two of them are pulling and pulling, if there is no one around, it is really unorthodox.

He exhaled deeply, and sat between the two, intentionally or unintentionally trying to squeeze Zhong Fan over.

Seeing this, Zhong Fan just smiled, then stood up, and pretended to smile relaxedly: "Ge'er, you eat slowly, just so we can take a rest." ”

Ye Qingge smiled at Zhong Fan, raised the fruit in his hand, and asked friendlyly, "Xiao Fan, do you want to eat some fruit?" Aren't you hungry? ”

In the face of Ye Qingge's warm hospitality, Zhong Fan's heart was very bitter, there was a sharp gaze staring at him next to him, he really didn't dare to sit down and cross the action for half a minute, of course, he didn't have that kind of thought.

Hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"No, you can eat, I'm not hungry. Maybe you can walk around again, and you can come across a store where you can buy some good dry food and store it. ”

Ye Qingge nodded approvingly, "Okay!" ”

Their interaction, in Liu Chengxu's eyes, is still very dazzling and intolerable.

Liu Chengxu took out a fruit from Ye Qingge's arms, wiped it gently, and then took out a knife and began to peel the fruit seriously.

After a while, he peeled a fruit, handed it to Ye Qingge, and said softly: "Ge'er, let's eat?" If you eat it like this, the taste will be much better. ”

Ye Qingge took the peeled fruit in Liu Chengxu's hand with a smile, took a bite, and found that the taste of the fruit was indeed much better than before.

"Brother Liu, it's really much better to eat like this! Hey hey ......"

Seeing the satisfied smile on Ye Qingge's face, Liu Chengxu was also very happy and content, as if he had finally been valued by Ye Qingge.

smiled dotingly: "Well, as long as you like the song, it's fine." ”

When Zhong Fan saw the two of them looking so crooked, he felt that his eyes were about to be blinded, so he had to stop looking.

When Ye Qingge used those fruits to cushion his stomach, the remaining fruits were carefully packed into the baggage by Liu Chengxu, and they were not wasted at all.

"Zhong Fan, it's time for us to go!"

"Okay!"

Liu Chengxu's face was not very good, he held Ye Qingge's hand tightly, as if he didn't want to let go for a moment, afraid that she would suddenly run away with others.

As for this other person, it naturally refers to Zhong Fan.

Along the way, only Ye Qingge was chattering non-stop, Liu Chengxu had a conversation with a partner, and Zhong Fan had been silently watching the backs of the two.

As the sun was setting, the three of them found a small town, walked around the town for a while, found a family with horses, and went in to take a look.

When the shopkeeper saw the visitor, he received him very warmly, and the smile on his face was very deep.

"Three, please come in, please come in."

After walking in, Ye Qingge glanced at the scene in the house, the table was covered with a layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had patronized it for a long time.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "Three, you want to choose a horse, right?" ”

Ye Qingge glanced at the surrounding environment a few times, and felt that this was too simple, but if he could buy horses, it would be not bad.

He nodded and smiled.

"Yes, do you have horses here?"

After getting the response, the smile on the face of the shopkeeper became deeper, and even the crow's feet laughed.

"Yes, yes, of course, and the three of you are bothered, please come with the little one."

Led by the shopkeeper, the three of them came to a place that looked like a stable, and as soon as they stepped into it, they were greeted by a pungent smell of herbs.

The three of them were a little uncomfortable, so they pinched their noses, trying to inhale as little breath as possible.

The two men next to Ye Qingge were both frowning, and their faces didn't look very good.

"Xiao Er, why do you have such a strong smell of herbs here? And the smell is so big, haven't you thought about letting these smells out? ”

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, his eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't seem to be very willing to mention this matter.

"Uh...... This ......"

After struggling for a while, I finally made up my mind to tell the story.

He pulled the three of them into a small corner, and those small eyes carefully looked around, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there were no outsiders. Then, whispered.

"That's right, there has been a strange thing in the town recently, as long as the horse is raised, the horse will die mysteriously, and now only the horse in our store is still alive in the town, but it is also hanging with his life. However, it has been tested before, and if the horse is taken out of town, the 'disease' will be cured naturally, so ......"

After saying so much, he suddenly realized that since these people are here to buy horses, will they not buy them after hearing such a thing? In this case, the shopkeeper still doesn't fire him?

These days, it is already difficult to find a decent job to do, not to mention that the work of the stable is relatively leisurely......

Ye Qingge glanced at the two emaciated horses and frowned.

"Little Er, there are only two horses left in your shop?"

The shopkeeper subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, still smiling on his face.

"Well, there are only these two horses left, and the three of them can buy them cheaper."

Anyway, now, if the horse dies in the shop, it will be a big loss. In short, even if it is sold cheaply, it is better than dying in the store.

At this time, Zhong Fan, who had been silent, spoke.

"So be it, two horses are fine, it's better than what we don't have."

The most important thing is that he found that these horses, except that they are too thin, are actually quite good, if they can get better when they get out of this town, they will not lose money.

Even if you die then, you can kill it and satisfy your hunger on the road.

Liu Chengxu glanced at Zhong Fan with his spare eyes, and then said lightly: "That's it, it's okay." ”

Ye Qingge patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then, I don't know what price Xiao Er thinks these two horses are?"

Feeling the unfriendly eyes of the two men, the cold sweat on the forehead of the shopkeeper broke out, he took out a white handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

"Well, or not...... What do the three guests think is the right price? ”

This one? If it's true, then it's naturally better not to have silver, but this doesn't even have a standard, so people can guess at will, since that's the case, it's okay to talk nonsense?

"Ten cents, how's it going?"

The shopkeeper was frightened by Ye Qingge's words, ten cents? Then it's better to grab it directly! This girl is too good at bargaining, right?

Moreover, the eyes of the two men next to him are inevitably too sharp, right? This...... Who can withstand this?

Seeing that the shopkeeper refused to speak, Liu Chengxu said lightly: "What is going on?" Okay, don't you be dumb? ”

I said this a little impulsively, the tone was not very good, and I don't know if I sprinkled the anger just now directly on the body of the shopkeeper, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.

Ye Qingge gently pulled Liu Chengxu's sleeve with his hand, and whispered: "Brother Liu, don't talk like this, look at what you have scared everyone into." ”

In this regard, Liu Chengxu flattened his mouth helplessly, but he had no intention of quibbling and kept silent.

The eyes of the shopkeeper were slit, and he wandered directly from Ye Qingge and Liu Chengxu, and he always felt that the two people in front of him were singing red and white, specifically bullying him.

I wanted to cry without tears, so I had to smile and say: "Guest officer, it's like this, although these two horses can't look good, but in fact, their strength is great, and you can't underestimate them." We're going to lose a little bit of money, or you take it for a hundred dollars, how about it? ”

Seeing that the three of them seemed to be hesitating, the shopkeeper continued to smile and said: "Our town is remote, it has been hot recently, and the crops have not had a good harvest, so we rely on this meager income to support our families......

This miserable kung fu is really good, in a few words, just a handful of snot and tears, Ye Qingge really couldn't stand it, so he had to give up.

"Okay, that's a hundred dollars."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Liu Chengxu and asked for silver. Liu Chengxu was also very cooperative, and took out no more than one hundred dollars and handed it to Ye Qingge, and then Ye Qingge handed the money to the shopkeeper.

When the silver fell into his hand, the shopkeeper felt a sense of relief, and smiled happily.

walked up to the two horses, untied the reins of the horses, handed them to Liu Chengxu, and said with a smile: "From now on, these two horses are yours." ”

As he spoke, he withdrew with a smile, anyway, there was nothing of value here, so he was relieved to leave.

Liu Chengxu handed one of the reins to Zhong Fan's hand, and said in a cold tone: "Yours." ”

After Zhong Fan took the reins, he smiled and said, "Thank you!" And he said nothing more.

However, Ye Qingge smiled again and continued: "In this way, we can also reach the extreme south land a little faster." ”

When the words fell, he happened to be heard by the shopkeeper who had just come in to pack his things, he glanced at Ye Qingge and the others curiously, and asked mysteriously.

"Three, are you going to the Far South?"

Ye Qingge first frowned, looked at the shopkeeper with a suspicious gaze, and then nodded hesitantly.

"Yes, we're heading to the Far South. Looking at Xiao Er's expression, could it be that you know something about the extreme south? ”

Sure enough, the shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and his voice was slightly low.

"Yes, this far south, I went with the townspeople last year. Before we went, we had heard that the terrain was extremely treacherous, but we had to take a risk in order to make a living, and if we succeeded, we could make life easier for our wives and children. ”

Zhong Fan couldn't help asking, "Then why do you have to go there?" Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back? By the way, since you've been there, how did you all come back? ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper sighed involuntarily, and the look on his face became a little dignified.

He licked his slightly dry lips and said faintly.

"Alas! Since you are also going to the extreme south, you must know that there is a flower called the Fire Spirit Flower, which is a very spiritual flower, which can be used to cure diseases and save people, because the process of picking is extremely difficult, so it is very rare in the pharmacy. Those doctors who treat diseases and save people are generally weak scholars, and naturally they are not able to pick, so they offer heavy rewards. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper smiled self-deprecatingly again.

"We're here to pick fire spirit flowers and earn money. I'm ashamed to say that none of the people who went with me survived. The reason why I was lucky enough to come back was because I had a serious illness on the way there. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qingge also frowned, and boldly speculated.

"So, because I was seriously ill, I didn't get there, but not far from the Far South, waiting for your companions, but I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, none of them came back?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said helplessly.

"Yes, I waited for more than a month, but they didn't come back, and they are almost in good shape. I was going to go and see it the next day, but that night, I had a strange dream. ”

Speaking of which, it seems a little mysterious.

"Strange dreams?"

After nodding slightly, the shopkeeper continued: "Yes, in my dream, I dreamed that those companions of mine, walking together, came to a fiery place, and their feet were like stepping on a fire, which was extremely bright and beautiful. Then, as if they were crazy, they began to kill each other, and then, they were sucked clean by the red stuff and turned into white bones. ”

After a pause, Xiao Er's eyes were a little confused, and he continued.

"This dream is really a little strange, but the scene in the dream makes me feel scared, and I feel that God is giving me a warning. I even thought to myself, maybe those dreams were the real experiences of my companions. ”

This time, Ye Qingge and Liu Chengxu were both thinking about what happened before.

At the same time, they also felt that what the shopkeeper dreamed of should be real,!。 Yes
