When Yang Ming and the others entered the "Changyang City", it was already afternoon. Because their horses are gone, they can only come on foot, and on the main road to Changyang City, there are many pedestrians along the way, and it is inconvenient for everyone to show their strength, so they can only come to "Changyang City" at the walking speed of ordinary people.

The sunset in the west shrouds this prosperous Changyang City in a warm and charming orange light, standing at the gate of the city and looking out, it is a straight and wide stone road, after a day of bustle, the street is scattered with a lot of discarded waste, but it also shows its bustling and prosperous day from the other side. Although dusk is approaching, there are still bustling pedestrians from all walks of life on the streets, and occasionally there are carriages carrying all kinds of goods to leave Changyang City, the whole city looks like a beautiful capital decorated with gold powder, if you are not in a hurry, Yang Ming must want to take Xin'er's little hand in this city, and have a good stroll.

Everyone had no intention of appreciating the prosperity of the city, their goal was very clear, they first asked passers-by where there were horse sellers in the city, and after asking the place, Shen Mo led everyone to the horse market in the city.

Shen Mo is worthy of being a general who has led soldiers, he is very familiar with horses, and at a glance he picked out a fast horse with good foot strength, and selected a total of fifteen fast horses, after settling the account, it was already late, the sunset in the west had sunk beyond the city wall, and a layer of gloomy night gradually fell on the houses.

Looking up at the sky, Shen Mo sighed and said, "It's getting late, let's rest in the city inn tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper. The crowd replied in unison.

Then, Yang Ming and others pulled the bought horses and found a place called "Yunlai Inn" to play sharp, the inn only had three rooms left, Shen Mo didn't want everyone to stay separately, and when he went out, everything had to be at peace with what happened, so he had to make do with it, and everyone squeezed together, and barely spent the night.

Although Xin'er and Jiang Shaobai are royal families, they don't have a little shelf, Jiang Shaobai and Chen Sheng Yan Zhendong sleep in the same bed, Yang Ming and Liu Qianyu, the two are reluctantly forced to squeeze into one bed, Xin'er and Caiyin, of course, sleep together, the rest of the guards are sitting on chairs, or lying on the ground, and sleep for a night, while Shen Mo is sitting cross-legged on the table for a night.

Yang Ming and the others didn't dare to sleep too hard, their ears were always alert, and the guards took turns to change shifts and were responsible for keeping vigil. After all, they had just revealed their identities outside the city, and danger might follow, so everyone didn't dare to be careless.

Fortunately, the night was uneventful!

The next day, the sky was just slightly bright, everyone had a simple breakfast, and bought some steamed buns as dry food on the road, Shen Mo put money on the counter, and then took Yang Ming and others, rode on a fast horse, and headed towards the west gate of Changyang City.

After leaving the city from the west gate, the sun had completely risen, and looking at the warm appearance of the sun, I thought that today was another sunny day.

Riding the morning breeze, the crowd spurred their horses and marched westward. The horse's hooves shook up clouds of dust and rushed forward!

On the main road outside the city, there are still many passers-by with bags on their backs, walking on both sides of the road, probably taking advantage of the early morning to rush to the city to do business. Not long after the crowd rode away, suddenly a hat rolled in on the road ahead, like a leather ball, rolled a few times, and then stopped in the middle of the road, just in front of Xin'er's fast horse.

Originally, a hat was not an obstacle, but suddenly an old woman who was slow to move, carrying a bamboo basket on her back and taking trembling steps, actually walked to the middle of the road, and then bent down to pick up the hat.

"Get out of the way, old woman. ”

Xin'er shouted loudly, but the old woman continued to bend down to pick up the hat as if she hadn't heard.

"Oops. "Seeing that the horse was about to hit the old woman, it was too late to rein in the horse. In order to save the old woman's life, Xin'er had to show her strength, she hurriedly flew off the horse, and at great speed, when the horse was about to touch the old woman's body, she took the old woman to the side of the road.

The speed is as fast as a gust of wind, and there is a hint of coolness, like the wind when early winter comes.

"Old woman, are you okay?" Xin'er hurriedly asked, her pretty face turned slightly pale, and her eyes were full of worry.

The old woman was also frightened, her chest rose and fell rapidly, panting, and it took a long time to gradually calm down, and then she replied happily: "Thank you little girl, the old body is not injured." ”

Hearing this, Xin'er breathed a long sigh of relief, then took the old woman's arm, helped her up, and said, "Old woman, why do you rush to the middle of the road, do you know that this is very dangerous, my horse almost hit you." ”

Just when Xin'er blamed, Shen Mo and the others also hurriedly pulled their horses and surrounded them, asking if something had happened.

The old woman said with a guilty face, "I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you! ”

As she spoke, the old woman picked up the hat in her hand and continued to explain, "I'm here to pick up this hat." ”

Looking at this ordinary hat, Xin'er's face was slightly puzzled, and she said: "Old woman, you are just for such an ordinary hat! You are so stupid, a hat is worth a few pennies." ”

Listening to Xin'er's words, the old woman smiled, and she said, "This hat is woven by my old man, and the two of us make a living by selling it." So saying, the old woman took the bamboo basket behind her, and saw that it was full of hats, all of which were exactly the same as the ones in the old woman's hand. "The old man is the same as me, and now he is also old and dazzled, and his hands are often shaking, and he can't make a few hats a day, which he spent several days and stayed up all night to weave, and each one contains his hard work, but he is reluctant to lose one. ”

After speaking, the old woman's old eyes were affectionate, and she gently stroked the hat in her hand, as if it was a treasure worth a thousand taels of gold.

Seeing this, Xin'er immediately understood why the old woman was desperate to pick up the hat that fell to the ground, this is not an ordinary hat, it is full of the affection of an old couple.

"Old woman, you are so old, and you still come out to sell hats, what about your children? They don't care about you?" asked Xin'er with concern.

The old woman smiled helplessly and said, "My wife and I have no children, and we had a son before, but unfortunately we died of illness later, so now only my wife and I depend on each other." He knitted hats, and then I would come out and sell them for a few dollars to buy some rice. ”

Speaking of her dead son, the old woman couldn't help but have a trace of sadness in her eyes, and tears were faintly dangling in the corners of her eyes.

Listening to the old woman's words, Xin'er couldn't help but feel compassion, she was a kind girl, so Xin'er decisively took out two ingots of silver from her arms, handed them to the old woman, and said: "Old woman, these silver for you, although it is not much, but it is enough for you and your wife to live a long life in peace." ”

The old woman was shocked when she saw the shining silver, and then she pushed her hand and said, "How can this be done? Kind girl, you have already saved my life just now, how can I still ask for your silver?"

Xin'er was very resolute, she directly took the old woman's hand, handed the two ingots of silver firmly into her hand, and said, "Since I want to give it to you, you can take it." It's a pity that this is not Jiang Guo, if you are in Jiang Guo, I will definitely let you and your wife enjoy your old age in peace. ”

In the last sentence, Xin'er deliberately lowered her voice so as not to reveal her identity.
