Text Chapter 503 Danger in a Dream
Xia Jinghan walked straight to the bun shop and stopped. "Boss, bring me two steamed buns stuffed with green vegetables."
"Okay! Guest, this is the bun you wanted, it's still hot when it comes out of the pot! I saw the boss hand the bun to Xia Jinghan.
"Boss, I want to ask you something, where to buy horses in this town?"
"Yo! Girl, look at you, you're not a local, right? If you want to buy a horse, you have to go to Simon's cattle market, where there are many horses. ”
"Okay, I see. Thank you, boss! ”
After thanking the owner of the bun shop, Xia Jinghan went to the west gate, she didn't know that her every move had already been targeted. Two suspicious men, sneaky all the way, followed Xia Jinghan all the way from the moment she first entered the town.
"Boss, this chick has gone to the west gate. On the way, she will pass by Bluestone Lane, which is sparsely populated, so let's just do it there, and no one will notice. ”
"Okay, let's do it! Walk! ”
Xia Jinghan always felt that someone was following her along the way, but she never found a suspicious person, and this feeling became stronger and stronger when she stepped into this small alley.
Suddenly, Xia Jinghan's shout broke the peace in the alley.
"Who? Come out! ”
However, there was no movement in the alley.
"I repeat, come out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. As she spoke, Xia Jinghan slowly pulled the sword in her hand out of the scabbard, and the sunlight hit the sword and emitted a dazzling white light, which was strong and dazzling.
"Oh, little lady, don't be so angry, let the two brothers put out the fire for you."
I saw that the two suspicious men came out of the dark corner of the alley, and their mouths were full of teasing words, which made people blush and be ashamed when they heard it.
"You'd better keep your mouths clean! Who's your little lady! If you speak wildly, the sword in my hand will not bypass you, and I want you to look good! ”
Xia Jinghan's behavior did not make them afraid, but aroused their desire to commit crimes even more.
"Boss, I'm so scared!" One of the short, flowing men said to the other man, who was five big and three thick, and made a scared look.
This man's behavior made Xia Jinghan very angry, her eyebrows were frowned, and her phoenix eyes were wide open.
"Hahaha, Niu Er, this is your fault, it has made our little lady angry."
"Whore, look at the sword!" Xia Jinghan didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, so she rushed in front of them with a sword in one arrow step.
But it's a pity that they didn't hit, and at the moment when Xia Jinghan rushed up, the two of them dodged one by one, and they seemed to have some ability.
"Niu Er, you and I are outflanked separately and attacked on both sides."
"Understood, Boss!"
The two suddenly changed their positions, trapped Xia Jinghan in the middle, and slowly walked around her. Suddenly, Xia Jinghan quickened her pace, and the whole person walked faster and faster, and finally looked for a breakthrough like a ball of wind. Raising his hand and stabbing out with a sword, the three stars straightened into nine silver rays, and took the empty door behind Niu Er. Niu Er turned over and didn't dodge, the enemy was injured, and the encirclement was broken. There is only one hole left, and it is much easier to solve.
Although Kong Yi has brute strength, he is not Xia Jinghan's opponent, and he was beaten after more than a dozen moves.
"Today, this girl will spare your life, and the next time I find out that you are molesting a woman from a good family in broad daylight, you will definitely look good! Don't get out of here! ”
"Boss, I didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful, the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, let's withdraw first. You wait, we won't let you go another day! Niu Er picked up Kong Yi and fled with his tail between his legs.
Xia Jinghan looked at the picture of Niu Er and Kong Yi running away, and there was a hearty joy in her heart. I don't look at who Miss Ben is, I have hit my head with all my ideas, I blame you for your bad luck, the person I met was me, if it were an ordinary woman, she might have been poisoned by them.
"Girl, you must not take it lightly! Kong Yike is a well-known bully in our area, burning, killing and looting. Now that he has suffered a loss from you, he will definitely not give up like this, you must be careful. "I saw a beggar in ragged clothes and a yellow face come out of another inconspicuous corner of the alley.
It turned out that this beggar was already in the alley before Xia Jinghan came to Qingshi Lane. He had just asked for some food from passers-by, and he was afraid of being snatched away by other beggars, so he hid in a small corner of Bluestone Lane, which ordinary people couldn't find if they weren't careful. Therefore, even Kong Yi, the ground snake, didn't find him.
"It's okay, I can handle it alone, you can rest assured."
The little beggar looked at Xia Jinghan with a confident look, and knew that she didn't take her words to heart. Suddenly, the little beggar fell to his knees with a thud.
"Girl....... Actually, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree. If you don't agree, I'll be on my knees here. ”
Xia Jinghan was about to leave, but she was at a loss by the little beggar's move.
"What are you doing here, hurry up, you can get up first and talk about something." And when he spoke, he was to be pulled up.
"No, I beg the girl to take me as an apprentice, and I will never rise unless you agree." The little beggar looked resolute.
"This ...... I'm not good at learning, I'm afraid I won't be able to hand you over. Besides, I have something important to do when I go out this time, and it is inconvenient to take you with me. Xia Jinghan said with an embarrassed face.
"Girl, don't be presumptuous. I have seen all the fights between you and Kong Yi and Niu Er, and you definitely have the ability to teach me. You said you had something important to do, and I took it with me, and maybe I could help you. Girl, I must learn martial arts so that I can avenge my mother's murder. ”
"Alright then, you follow me from now on, and I will hand it over to you without reservation, so that you can take revenge as soon as possible. Now, it's time for you to get up. Xia Jinghan was soft-hearted, or agreed.
"Great, the master is on top and please accept the apprentice's worship!" The little beggar was a little excited and couldn't find the north, so he bowed to Xia Jinghan again and again before getting up.
"Let's go!" Xia Jinghan and the little beggar walked towards the west gate.
After they left, Kong Yi and Niu Er, who had disappeared just now, reappeared, as if they had changed two people, and they didn't feel the aura of the ruffians and hooligans they had just shown. Everything was premeditated.
This time, there were no waves on the way, Xia Jinghan and the little beggar came to Livestock City smoothly.
"Master, what are we here to buy?"
"Of course it's buying a horse, but is it still a cow? By the way, don't call me by the master, it sounds awkward. I think you and I seem to be about the same age, you can call me Jinghan in the future, what is your name, I still don't know! ”
"You see that I forgot when I was excited, my name is Gu Junmiao, you can call me Junmiao."
"I don't think you look good, but I didn't expect the name to be quite good."
"My mother got it, and she knew some words. You don't know that when I was a beggar, I didn't dare to let others know my name, and if other beggars knew my name, they would definitely join forces to bully me. You were the first person outside of my family to know my name. ”
"I'm sorry I poked you in the sad spot. Jun Miao, from now on, I will be your family. Let's go, let's see the horses go. ”
Xia Jinghan and Gu Junmiao walked through half of the livestock market before they found a place to sell horses.
I saw five or six horses tied to the small stable, lined up, very magnificent. Xia Jinghan swept over at a glance and fell in love with the red horse on the far left.
"Boss, how did you sell that jujube red horse?"
"Guest, you have such eyesight! This red horse is a mare, with a docile temperament, and is the most suitable for you women to ride. ”
"Jun Miao, you also pick one and see which one you like."
Gu Junmiao looked embarrassed. "Jinghan, I'm not very proficient in horses, or you should help me pick one." Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to tune, it's just that the boss doesn't look at him with a straight face at all.
"In my opinion, the brown one is good." Xia Jinghan pointed to the tall brown horse in the middle and showed it to Gu Junmiao.
"I didn't expect the girl to understand horses so well at such a young age, it's really terrifying! This horse's name is five or eight, and you can see that its head is straight and long, and its ears are short. The limbs are very long, the bones are solid, the tendons and ligaments are well developed, and they can travel thousands of miles a day and hear in all directions. It's a rare good horse! ”
"Boss, tell me straight, how much do these two horses cost?"
"This jujube red horse is a little cheaper, fifty taels of silver, fifty-eight is a little more expensive, sixty taels of silver, a total of one hundred and ten taels. I see that the little girl is a man who knows horses, and she is so cheerful, so I will charge you a hundred taels of silver. ”
I had long expected that these two horses were not cheap, but I didn't expect them to be so expensive. I brought a total of two hundred taels of silver when I went down the mountain this time, and half of this horse will cost me to buy it, which is more than enough for me alone, but now with Jun Miao, the cost of food and accommodation for two people is large. It seems that I will have to save some money in the future, but if I can't do it, I will sell the horse and sell two of them.
Xia Jinghan was just about to pay, but was pulled aside by Gu Junmiao.
"Jinghan, why don't you change my horse! I don't need such a good horse, and it's a waste to ride me. ”
"Jun Miao, are you worried about not having enough money, it's okay, I have enough money. All you have to do is ask for it. ”
"Boss, I want both horses, you can bring them out for me. That's exactly one hundred taels, you dot. Xia Jinghan lent Boss Ma the opportunity to silver, and secretly asked him: "Boss, let me ask you something, do you know where to sell clothes around here?" I want to buy clothes for my brother. ”
"Except for the cattle market, not far to the north, there is a garment shop. Come, this is your horse, you take it. ”
"Jinghan, what did you say to the boss? Say so long. ”
"Oh, it's nothing, the boss just kindly told me something to pay attention to about horses. It's not too early, let's hurry up! ”
Xia Jinghan and Gu Junmiao rode out of Livestock City and headed north.
Cheng Ruoke watched quietly from behind.
