Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Donkey
In fact, don't look at Xiao Lin Yan, who has been staying with his grandfather Lin Gu since he was a child, but he really doesn't know Lin Gu's strength. I only know that my grandfather is very powerful, and he is the most powerful person in the village, but I don't have an accurate concept of how powerful it is.
This morning, after the father and son finished washing, they prepared to practice the previous three tricks in the courtyard.
For his grandfather Lin Gu, Xiao Lin Yan has always relied on him. In fact, this is also very understandable, he has grown from a baby in swaddling clothes to a half-grown teenager today, his growth is inseparable from the company of Lin Gu, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless!
However, the young tree will always grow and the young eagle will leave the nest. If you want to become stronger, you have to go to the outside world to see, take a walk, and break through!
Looking at Lin Gu opposite, Xiao Lin Yan made up his mind.
"Are you ready?" Lingu looked at him and asked.
Xiao Lin Yan nodded silently.
Seeing this, Lin Gu walked forward, and at the same time, he walked towards Xiao Lin Yanyin with a fluttering palm.
The latter had long been on guard, and he ran the exercises at the moment when Lin Gu just moved, and at the same time performed the "Phantom Step" and the "Ghost Slash Two Styles - Thunderbolt", the purpose was not to attack Lin Gu, but to use the speed advantage of the two to dodge this palm.
But the footwork and moves that were invincible in the past could not get rid of Lin Gu's fluttering palm today, even if they were used to the extreme, and the latter followed him like a maggot attached to the bone, getting closer and closer......
In fact, it's right to think about it, his moves are not all taught by Lin Gu, how can he expect to avoid the latter when he uses these?
Finally, Lin Gu's palm was imprinted on Xiao Lin Yan's shoulder, and the huge force from his palm was not as light as it looked.
Under the impact of this force, Xiao Lin Yan's body couldn't help but retreat back several steps one after another before finally stabilizing his body.
He looked at Lin Gu, who also looked at him quietly.
"Yan'er, you are still too young, the rivers and lakes are sinister, it's not too late to wait for a few years to go out and explore!" Lin Gu said helplessly.
"Grandpa, Yan'er has grown up, it's time for you to make a second move." Kobayashi Yan said stubbornly.
"Alas!"
Lin Gu sighed helplessly, his eyes suddenly became awe-inspiring, and the next palm unconsciously increased his strength.
Xiao Lin Yan had suffered the previous loss, and knew that he would definitely not be able to hide, so he could only take it hard.
He once again mobilized the vitality in his body and performed the "Ghost Slash Three Styles - Dragon Slaying", which was also the most powerful move he could use so far.
The knife touched the palm, although it was broken, the black knife that was still a divine soldier could not force the flesh palm back a step, anyway, the power transmitted through the blade made Xiao Lin Yan's whole person fly out upside down by shock, and then fell heavily to the ground.
This head-on contact also let Xiao Lin Yan know that Lin Gu's strength is far from being comparable to his current self, even if he takes these three moves when he is not serious.
But Xiao Lin Yan didn't give up, although his body was in pain and there was not much vitality left in his body, he still struggled to stand up.
"Grandpa, there's one last resort!" Kobayashi Yan said.
Lin Gu's body moved slightly, and he instantly arrived in front of Xiao Lin Yan like a ghost, who was slightly startled, looked at the palm that was imprinted towards him, and could only silently close his eyes.
"I'm still too weak!"
The expected shock did not come, but his head seemed to be rubbed by a warm and powerful hand.
When he opened his eyes, Lin Gu was looking at him lovingly, but after all, Lin Gu still didn't give up.
"Yes, when the child is older, it's time to go out!" Lingu thought.
"Master...... Father? Xiao Lin Yan said suspiciously.
"Grandpa agreed." Lin Gu sighed and said.
Xiao Lin Yan's initial surprise turned into joy in an instant, and he suddenly threw himself into Lin Gu's arms, and kept rubbing his head against the latter.
"Let grandpa see, does it hurt?" Lin Gu carefully checked Xiao Lin Yan's body up and down, and asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt, I'm in good shape!" Xiao Lin Yan patted his small chest and said.
"You kid!" Lin Gu shook his head and said with a smile.
After all, he is a child who has been raised since he was a child, where can he be willing to be heavy-handed? I just fell hard before, and I was already distressed.
"Grandpa, then I'm going to practice every day!" Xiao Lin Yan rested for a while and said.
"Go, be careful on the road!" Lin Gu nodded and said.
Watching Xiao Lin Yan jump and walk into the distance, the essence in Lin Gu's eyes flashed, and he thought: I hope everything goes well with Yan'er!
……
In the following days, in addition to practicing, Xiao Lin Yan was preparing to use things on the way out, of course, mainly to pack up some of his gadgets, such as the slingshot that he asked for from the thin monkey before.
Also, Qiu Lao's black blade is too conspicuous, so you have to be low-key when you go out!
Xiao Lin Yan thought so, why don't you dye him?
Just do it, and after a while, Xiao Lin Yan didn't know where to get a bucket of white paint.
So, in the voice of Qiu Lao exclaiming and shouting "don't", Xiao Lin Yan approached with a smile, quite a bit of a scoundrel flirting with a woman from a good family.
But it was useless to resist, looking at the blade that was covered with white paint, Qiu Lao's beard blew his eyes angrily, although he didn't have a beard to blow.
Xiao Lin Yan persuaded him for a while before he persuaded this little old man.
Although it doesn't look good with white paint, it's so low-key!
Xiao Lin Yan comforted himself like this.
As for the other necessary items for going out, Lin Gu naturally helped to prepare, in addition to a few sets of changing clothes, and some silver coins were put in the package.
In addition, Lin Gu also prepared dry food and water intimately, worried that Xiao Lin Yan would not be able to take it, so he even led a little donkey.
This donkey was born by the female donkey of Lin Dayong's family at the head of the village last year, and the female donkey is usually pulling and grinding or something, and as soon as I heard that Xiao Lin Yan was going to go far away, he brought the little donkey here.
Originally, Lin Gu planned to find a horse for Xiao Linyan, but the seven-and-a-half-year-old child riding a tall horse was really a bit difficult, so he had to retreat and find a donkey, which could carry something after all.
The little donkey was also very pleasant, with a big head, long ears, and four little short legs. He looks thin and weak, but he has a lot of energy.
Gray-brown hair, only the lower part of the face and abdomen are white, grinning at every turn, showing large teeth, panting in the nostrils, "two, two, two", along with the eyes are narrowed into a slit, the appearance looks extremely funny.
Putting dry food and water on the little donkey's back, the little guy was a little reluctant, after all, he had not done much work at home.
Three days later, everything was ready.
At the entrance of the village, there are really a lot of people who come to see them off. That's right, Xiao Lin Yan grew up eating 100 family meals since he was a child, he is not only Lin Gu's grandson, but also the treasure of the villagers.
Thin Monkey, Lin Tian and Erdan They also came, especially Thin Monkey, they all cried, Xiao Lin Yan was his best brother.
"Xiao Yanzi, be careful on the road and stay safe!"
"You kid, you're still so young, how can we rest assured that we've gone so far?"
"Good boy, ambitious, better than your uncle and me!"
"Brother, when I become stronger, I will go out to explore the rivers and lakes like you, wait for me!"
……
The people in the village told him that the feelings between people in this small mountain village were more simple, and they all cared about him and worried about him from the bottom of their hearts.
Xiao Lin Yan smiled and said goodbye one by one, waved his hand to everyone when he was done, and rode the little donkey slowly into the distance.
They have all walked a long way, and the people in the village have not dispersed, and they can still vaguely see waving hands.
Walking out of everyone's sight, Xiao Linyan's eyes couldn't help but moisten, he endured it just now, after all, he couldn't let the big guy worry a little more!
wiped his tears with his sleeve, and thought: Grandpa said that "men don't flick when they have tears", just this time, I will never cry easily in the future!
Riding a little donkey on a country road, heading in the direction of Huangshi City, passing through this border town, it can be regarded as really heading towards the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom.
But as he walked, the little guy somehow picked on his son and refused to leave. There was no way, Xiao Lin Yan could only come down and walk, leading the little donkey.
This little guy may also be spoiled in Dayong's house, after all, he is still young, and there is no work for him to do at home. This suddenly went out of the house, not only to carry goods, but also to carry people, which naturally can't be endured!
The country road is not easy to walk, and it just rained yesterday, so Xiao Lin Yan walked deep and shallow, and if he was not careful, his feet slipped and he fell into the mud.
Xiao Lin Yan got up, the clothes he had just changed were covered with mud, and his hands and face were also covered with mud, and he was a little clay man.
The little donkey behind him looked at it, gloated and grinned, laughed "two, two", shook his head, his eyes had already narrowed into a slit, and the big teeth were shining in the sun, and they were very white.
The black knife on his back, no, now it's a white knife, and there was a laugh from Qiu Lao.
Xiao Lin Yan looked at the two living treasures, one old and one young, and he was also very helpless.
Qiu Lao: "Even the donkey is laughing at you!" Hahaha! ”
Xiao Lin Yan: "Yes, the donkeys are laughing at me!"
Qiu Lao: "......"
It was noisy along the way, but time passed quickly, and after a while, the gate of Yellowstone City could be seen from afar.
Xiao Lin Yan walked in front, leading a little donkey behind, and this person walked towards the city gate with a donkey.
Due to the slow walking on the road, it was almost noon when I arrived at the city gate, and there were not many people entering the city, so I soon arrived at Xiaolinyan.
The guards at the city gate were also speechless for a while when they looked at this strange combination.
A child of seven or eight years old, covered in mud, like a little clay figure crawling out of the mud, with a thin and weak donkey behind him, is this here to escape?
But in line with the usual principle, one of the guards still asked: "Child, is there any toll?"
Xiao Lin Yan blinked his big watery eyes, scratched his head suspiciously, and looked at him blankly.
The city guard raised his voice and said, "Toll! It's money, kid, do you have money? ”
This time, Xiao Lin Yan seemed to understand, groped in his arms for a while, and finally found two copper plates, raised them in front of the city guard with his small hands full of muddy water, and said, "Na, here you go!"
Castle Guard: "......"
