Chapter 34: Skinny Jujube Red Horse

"Daoist, you seem to be very happy today."

"yes."

"What's your pleasure about not buying a horse?"

Sanhua Niangniang tilted her head and leaned up, staring at Song You suspiciously, looking at that little appearance, it was really cute.

"I didn't buy a horse, but I saw a lot of excitement."

"You like to be lively."

"Sometimes I like it."

"When are we going to buy a horse?"

"No hurry, no hurry."

One big and one small walked to the front of Tianshui Lane, but found that there were two people waiting at the door.

The two of them were wearing thick Taoist robes and holding a horse in their hands, which were the two Taoist chiefs of Fuqing Palace, Ying Feng and Izumo.

Song You was very surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Two Dao Masters, how did you get here?"

"I've seen Brother Dao."

The two of them inhaled cold air and saluted him.

Glancing at the girl beside him, he couldn't help asking:

"It's ......"

"Sanhua Niangniang."

"It's actually Sanhua Niangniang!"

"I've seen Sanhua Niangniang!"

The two hurriedly saluted Sanhua Niangniang, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

They had only heard the elders of the sect tell the story of the fairy transformation into a man, but they were too shallow in the Tao, and this was the first time they had seen it.

Sanhua Niangniang also learned to return the gift.

Then Ying Feng said: "The ancestor knows that Brother Dao is going to travel the world, and there is a lack of mules and horses, and today the temple fair of Yuewang Temple is open, and Brother Dao will go to find mules and horses." However, there is a shortage of horses on the northern border recently, and the ancestor guesses that most of the Taoist brothers can't choose their favorite mules and horses, and it just so happens that we also have to come to the temple market, buy some things, and also do some exchanges with the Taoist leaders in Yidu, and it happens that there is a pilgrim in the palace who has some relationship, so the ancestor let us lead a horse to give to the Taoist brother, not to mention for the Taoist brother to ride, that is, it is good to be able to share some luggage and burden for the Taoist brother on the long road. ”

Izumo also said:

"We've been worried, worried that when we find Brother Dao, Brother Dao has already bought mules and horses, so we can only take them back. Now, it seems, thankfully, not. ”

Song You looked at the two.

Daoyi's ability to keep out the cold is really limited, in this winter cold night, the two of them have been frozen to the point of black skin, but the night is foggy, and the tips of the eyebrows and hair are wet, I am afraid that it will add a little bit of dampness and cold.

And which of these horses is a colt?

Although the body shape is not tall, its appearance is not good, it is not a high-headed horse, it can be seen that its head is big and the neck is short, the body is strong, the chest is wide and the mane is long, the skin is thick and the hair is thick, and it is clearly a Northern Yuan horse.

At most, the quality in Northern Yuan Mali is not good, but it is also a Northern Yuan horse, which is the most suitable for long-distance travel.

Song You stood still, his eyes flickering.

The two of them were worried in their hearts.

After a few seconds like this, I saw Song You stretch out his hand, with a smile on his face, and led the horse over.

"Thank you very much."

The two of them hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dao, why be polite."

"It's cold late at night, come and have a fire in the house."

"Don't bother anymore." Ying Feng hurriedly said, "We've been out for a long time, so it's better to go back as soon as possible." ”

"My palace is good friends with Xicheng Qingxiao Temple, and the elders all borrow it to live in Qingxiao Temple." Izumo added, "There are many thieves at night, and if you don't go back, you should be worried, so Izumo will come back tomorrow to visit Brother Dao." ”

"Senior sister is right, I have to come to the temple fair tomorrow."

"Brother Dao, beware, this horse is young, and his temper may not be stable."

"Brother Dao has his own immortal means."

"That's right."

"Ma'er, Ma'er, you have to be obedient in the future, and being able to travel to the mortal world with Brother Dao is a blessing that you have cultivated in a few lifetimes. We can't get it if we want to. ”

"Brother Dao, let's take our leave."

The two of you look at me and say a word, seamlessly connected, and it feels quite amazing.

Song You had to watch them walk away.

Looking back at this horse, it was really a very young horse, and he had to sigh, how difficult it was to say how Guanghuazi cultivated his Taoism, but this person's sophistication and calculating skills are extremely high, this old Taoist will definitely not be able to become an immortal in this life, but he has become a human spirit.

"Poof......

The jujube red horse snorted.

"Shh......h

Song You said to it unhurriedly: "Please be quiet in this city, and when you are free, I will take you out for a gallop." ”

The jujube red horse really quieted down.

How can there be an unstable temper?

Song You also smiled with satisfaction.

Sanhua Niangniang raised her head all the way, staring at the horse with wide eyes, her eyes were shining, like stars, as soon as the two Taoist masters left, she hurriedly asked after walking around the mule and horse market:

"Is this horse good?"

"Of course."

When Sanhua Niangniang heard this, she was so happy.

Song You pondered for a day, and probably guessed what she was thinking, as for whether she could fully understand, it was not necessary, people could not fully understand each other, let alone people and cats.

Besides, this horse, the common jujube red, the Northern Yuan horse itself is not tall, it is also short in the Northern Yuan Mali, but most of the time he only needs it to carry some bags and hurry slowly, and he does not need to be as nervous as the march in the army, but it does not require it to be strong.

Song You closed the door of the courtyard and only led the horse to the bamboo forest before saying: "The conditions of the small courtyard are simple, and there is no stable, so you will be wronged to live here temporarily." I don't have to squeak on weekdays, but tomorrow morning, I'll go buy some forage. ”

The horse stood still, and was silent.

"In the future, I will not treat you badly if you want to go with me and carry some bags for me."

Saying that, Song You actually bowed to it.

Interestingly, although the horse was still standing, it was evident that it blinked with dark eyes, as if it understood.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Sanhua Niangniang took her eyes off the horse with difficulty, trotted away, and went out to open the door.

Standing outside was Luo Zhutou.

Soapy clothes and soapy boots, with a sword at the waist.

In the past few days, there have been many people in the city in the Yuewang Temple, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and the trappers have also replaced the iron ruler with a steel knife.

Seeing that it was a girl again today, Luo Zhutou's eyes were slightly different, but he didn't show it, and he maintained a tacit understanding not to call her Sanhua Niangniang, so he only arched his hand and asked, "Is Mr. back?" ”

"It's back......"

As soon as Sanhua Niangniang finished speaking, she looked back and saw that Song You came behind her.

"The head of the shift hasn't finished work yet?"

"There is another mysterious case, come to Mr. for advice."

Since Song You figured it out before the winter, he no longer intended to restrain these, and now Luo Zhutou no longer goes around looking for palaces and temples or private masters when he encounters a mysterious case, but directly asks Song You at the door. Most of Song You can give answers. And he usually brings some bits and pieces to come, and Song You usually doesn't refuse.

The two have a tacit understanding of getting along.

At this time, please ask him to come along.

"Today, the yamen received many reports from nobles, saying that the silver was inexplicably stolen, and most of them were stolen during the period of watching tricks and tricks." Luo Zhutou said carefully, "If you want to say that this temple market is chaotic, it is common for some small thieves to wander in it. But the strange thing is that these people only lost the whole silver, broken silver and copper plates, and some people were very tightly wrapped, and even some officials traveled in a sedan chair, and all the money was put in the box in the sedan chair, but there was still silver missing, and only the whole silver was missing. ”

"The team leader is suspicious......"

"Among these tricksters, there are many who have unclean hands and feet, and there are also some strange skills, Luo suspects that those tricks are running around to commit crimes." Luo Zhutou quietly looked at Song You, "One of the people is playing the trick of returning to the cave of the three immortals and changing things out of thin air, not only has nothing to do with it, but also among the nobles who reported the case, most of the thefts are concentrated in the period of watching this trick, I want to ask Mr., is there a similar means in this world that can steal silver from the air?" ”

"There is a kind of spell, in order to attract the method of waving, the conditions for learning are harsh, and there are not many folk circulation, but if you practice it to a high level, you can take things from the air, and you can not feel it by the master, and you can also make it disappear out of thin air."

Luo Zhutou continued to look at Song You's expression.

It seemed that the gentleman was only answering his question, but he had been with him for several months, and it could be seen from the gentleman's tone and demeanor that the gentleman had actually confirmed his guess.

"Even so, this kind of method is elusive, and the law is strict, if we can't find evidence, we can take people casually, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"This kind of spell, if the caster has the ability to take things for thousands of miles, not to mention taking things for thousands of miles, it is a hundred miles and ten miles for things, even if it is a thousand miles to take things, there is no need to make tricks." Song You said, "Since the money is taken from the people around you, even if you put it, you can't let it go far." ”

“!”

Luo Zhutou's expression froze, and he suddenly understood, and then snapped and hugged his fists towards Song You.

"Thank you, sir! That's it! ”

After saying that, he walked out in a hurry.

Just walked to the door, he suddenly paused again, turned around and looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, and quickly put down the sentence: "Mr. bought a horse in the temple market?" If it is inconvenient to raise, the yamen has a special stable, and the gentleman can bring it to the yamen to raise it if he needs it, and spend his own imperial court appropriation. ”

Song You couldn't help but smile and hurriedly thanked him.

The footsteps outside quickly faded away.

I remember that when I came back from Yuewang Temple, the trickster was not in class, but I didn't know if Luo Zhutou could find someone here.
