The sky is clear, the sun is shining, the river is wide, and there are more boats than crucian carp.

Bai Yutian was dressed in white, holding a black horse, and walked leisurely to the ferry, looking around several times, hoping to find a big boat to cross the river.

Suddenly, a child rushed over from the crowd, ran to Bai Yutian's side in three or two steps, glanced at Bai Yutian's face and the peach wood sword on his waist, and asked extremely excitedly, "Are you Bai Yutian's eldest brother?" ”

Bai Yutian was surprised, and replied with a smile: "What, do you know me?" ”

The child was very happy when he heard this, bowed to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Apprentice Shi Xingyun meets Master!" Bai Yutian was not allowed to answer, and kowtowed several times in a row.

Bai Yutian was very strange, and when the child raised his head, he saw that his face was delicate, his eyes were smart, and the blood stains on his clothes were extremely incommensurate, and he asked in a good voice: "Little friend, we don't know each other, why did you call my master stubbornly?" He took the child by the hand.

Shi Xingyun replied with a smile: "The night before yesterday, a big brother surnamed Zhao said that you are more handsome than him, and you will accept me as an apprentice and let me wait for you at this ferry, and I will wait for you at this ferry." ”

Bai Yutian said: "A big brother surnamed Zhao, is he famous?" ”

Shi Xingyun replied: "I didn't ask him, but he said a word." ”

Bai Yutian said: "What words?" ”

Shi Xingyun said: "He laughed and said: 'These two sentences are good. I, Zhao Yuheng, have heard it thousands of times on the rivers and lakes, and there are many people who share blessings and shares, but there are very few people who share difficulties. Let's go! ’”

Bai Yutian said: "Zhao Yuheng? Why did he guide you to worship me as a teacher? ”

Shi Xingyun said: "I see that he has strong skills, and I want to learn from him." But he said that he had killed too many people and sinned so much that he was not worthy to walk with a little boy like me. He also said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and I will only learn bad if I follow him, and it is better not to follow him. I said that I really wanted to learn a skill to protect my sister and ask for the people's life, and he recommended me to worship you as a teacher. ”

Bai Yutian smiled slightly: "People are small and ambitious. Do you have any dealings with him? ”

Shi Xingyun said: "I don't have any contacts. But the night before, he was having fun in the Mingcui Courtyard where my sister was staying, and he got into a fight with a group of salt lords from the Salt Gang, and he seemed to be injured, and I sent him out of the courtyard. Later, he gave me a big ingot, but I didn't ask for it, so he called me a little hero. ”

Bai Yutian said: "It's not good, it's not beautiful if you want it." ”

Shi Xingyun asked, "Why is it not beautiful?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "A person who is greedy for money is easy to betray people, and in order not to be betrayed by others, he is likely to kill you." ”

Shi Xingyun asked, "Is he bad?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "He is willing to risk being betrayed and chooses to let you go, and he also guides you to come to learn from a teacher, and he can be regarded as a person who knows how to repay his kindness." It's not particularly bad if you don't kill innocents indiscriminately, and you know how to report Entu. ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Are you willing to accept me as an apprentice?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "I don't want to." ”

Shi Xingyun asked very uncomfortably, "Why?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "You are all a child hero, since you are an old friend and a hero, you will be accepted as an apprentice." I'm only in my early twenties, and I'm not an old friend, so naturally I can't accept you as an apprentice, at most I can be a big brother. ”

Shi Xingyun saw that Bai Yutian had no intention of accepting him as an apprentice, and knew that a good man was never strong, so he said: "Then I worship you as my eldest brother, can you help me find an old friend and a hero to be a master?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "There is no problem. ”

Shi Xingyun asked happily, "Is he strong?" What is your name? ”

Bai Yutian thought for a while and replied with a smile: "The ability is very strong, the nickname of the rivers and lakes, the sword of the Yellow River." ”

Shi Xingyun heard from the book that there are only two big rivers in China, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and that person can actually use the name of "Yellow River One Sword", because he has high skills, he can't miss it. So he clenched his fist lightly, sent his little finger to Bai Yutian, and said happily: "Then let's pull the hook, it's a puppy to deceive people." ”

"Good!" Bai Yutian pulled the hook with Shi Xingyun, put Shi Xingyun in the saddle, and walked towards a big boat at the ferry.

Shi Xingyun was very scared when he saw the wide river in front of him, Bai Yutian asked why, Shi Xingyun replied: "I don't know when I will be able to see my sister this time, and I don't know if she is doing well when I see her again, whether I really won't know her in the future." ”

In the land of fireworks, the girls eat according to their youth. The lucky ones were taken away from Congliang, and since then they have been incognito and have no past. Those who are not lucky, the flowers wilt and people go, and they will be lonely and miserable all their lives, and beggars are not as good.

Bai Yutian saw that Shi Xingyun's eyes were full of family affection, and he was happy and sad for it. Happily, if a person can not even recognize his blood relatives, then if he wants to claim other emotions, he must first think of charging, so how can he be a great man for the country and the people. The sad thing is that there is only a little silver in his baggage, if he uses it all to help that girl redeem herself, wouldn't he drink the northwest wind all the way to the north.

Shi Xingyun saw Bai Yutian's solemn expression, and for some reason, asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Bai Yutian asked in a low voice, "If you want to help your sister redeem herself, how much money do you need?" ”

Shi Xingyun replied: "Last year, a guest offered a hundred taels to ransom my sister, but my sister didn't agree, and the bustard immediately sat on the ground and raised the price, which became two hundred taels. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Why didn't your sister agree?" Didn't she want to get out of that yard? ”

Shi Xingyun said: "My sister said that the person is in her fifties, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and when she grows up, the person will be old early." Instead of staying a widow for a lifetime, it is better to wait a little longer and see if you can meet a good person of the same age. ”

Bai Yutian stopped and said with a smile: "Your sister is really a child's family, come out first, and then talk about it, if you are unhappy in the future, you can also remarry!" ”

Shi Xingyun said: "That's not good. My sister said that a person lives a breath, and a tree lives a skin. Since you choose to marry him, you should be willing, you should start from the beginning, and you can't regret it halfway at will, and be talked about and judged for a lifetime. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Then begging for a living in a brothel, no one will talk nonsense?" ”

Shi Xingyun said: "My sister said that in order to support me and herself, she was forced by life to go there to seek a living, and it was right to be talked about, and she could be at ease." If you have received the favor of others, you are still disloyal to others, you have ruined the reputation of others, and you are extremely unworthy of being talked about, and you cannot accept it. ”

Bai Yutian smiled, led the horse back, felt that the road was extremely strong, and quickened his pace.

Shi Xingyun asked, "Are you not over the river?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Take your sister across the river together." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Do you have so much silver?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "No." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Then how can you bring her!" Chizhou's territorial boundaries are very law-based, and they cannot be forced to buy and sell. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Just sell this batch of horses." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Can a horse be sold for a hundred taels of silver?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "Fifty taels at most." But adding this sword is enough. ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Is your peachwood sword worth fifty taels of silver?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "At most, one or two silver." But with this physical strength, it will do. ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Hurting people at will is going to jail, that's not okay." ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "I didn't plan to hit and hurt people, at most I complained and damaged some furniture or something." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "That's okay." Then let's go sell the horses, and I'll pay you when I have money in the future." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Do you know where to sell horses?" ”

Shi Xingyun said: "There is a donkey and horse market not far away, but the people there are very good, you can't be fooled by them." ”

Bai Yutian was very happy to see that Shi Xingyun was a big ghost, and under his guidance, he went to the donkey and horse market.

After a while, the work of a meal passed, and the two came to the donkey and horse market.

Many horse dealers were very happy when they saw that the horse in Bai Yutian's hand was five feet tall at the shoulder, two feet long, black and bright, looking forward to the brilliance, and the divine horse was extraordinary. If you want to buy it at a high price, you don't want to buy it and you can't bear to buy such a good product.

The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and even more so good horses, especially in the northwest war, and it was difficult to find war horses. Although Bai Yutian is a martial artist, he has also traveled south and north for more than a year, and he knows that Ma Er can show his identity. No matter who it is, no matter how nice it sounds, whether it really wants to buy it or imagines it, the price is 50,000 yuan. Most people don't know that there is a war going on in the northwest, and they don't know that the imperial court is eager to learn about war horses, and they always feel that they can't make much money by buying this horse and selling it across the river.

Seeing that no one was willing to accept the price of 50,000 yuan, Shi Xingyun said to Bai Yutian: "Brother, if you don't lower it a little, 40,000 yuan is fine." ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "You get what you pay for, and reducing the price at will means that your goods are not good, not only wronged yourself, but also wronged such a good horse." Fifty taels, genuine, Tong Su is not deceived. ”

Shi Xingyun said: "But they just can't afford such a good price, it's right to stick to it, I'm afraid that time will pass." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Yes, you should stick to it to the end, if you loosen it because of the unreasonable needs of others, it is unwise." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Then we will stick to the end and keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”

An elder in his fifties came and looked around the horse, round and round. After circling the horse two or three times, he touched the beard on his chin, and while sneering secretly, he asked, "Hou Sheng, do you sell this horse for 50,000 yuan?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. looks at it and it's worth 50,000 yuan?" ”

The elder said, "To my Great Song, whether this horse is worth anything depends on whether it can run." This horse is four hooves high and reliable, and it will be able to travel six hundred times a day, and if it is put on the battlefield, it will be as fast as the wind, and it will break the enemy thousands of miles away. ”

Bai Yutian said: "The elder has a discerning eye, and you can see at a glance that my Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, and even more so war horses. If the gentleman buys it sincerely, he can give it to the old gentleman for 40,000 yuan. ”

The elder smiled: "Don't you keep shouting that you won't sell it for 50,000 yuan, why did it come down today?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "The price reduction for those who know the goods is to let him earn one more when he changes hands, and the price reduction for those who don't know the goods is to belittle his own goods." Good goods can be sold at a reduced price, but they cannot be sold at a lower price, which is a respect for good goods. ”

"Good. One price, 45,000 yuan, good goods deserve respect. The elder smiled happily, took out four taels of gold and five taels of silver from his pocket, handed them to Bai Yutian's hand happily, and said happily: "This horse is already mine." ”

Bai Yutian put away the silver taels, hugged his fists at the elder and said, "The old gentleman walks slowly." ”

The elder smiled warmly, stepped on the horse, and walked away. Seeing the joyful back of the elder, many horse dealers kept shaking their heads and sighing: "Ah! The horse of 60,000 yuan was sold for 45,000 yuan, and it was a big loss. ”

Shi Xingyun heard this, was a little discouraged, and whispered: "Brother, have we suffered a loss?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "What is the loss, people come to make money, how can they not make people earn to their heart's content." Besides, he seems to have earned so much, but the money has not arrived, who can guarantee that he will not suffer. The money you earn is the money. ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Brother, the horses are all his, isn't the money earned?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Now that the war in the northwest is tight, the imperial court is looking around to buy war horses, if you meet a black-hearted official to buy horses, and go there to earn the fifteen taels of silver, it will be good if you don't lose money." ”

Shi Xingyun said: "Brother, did you introduce me to that master with such good skills as you?" ”

Bai Yutian touched Shi Xingyun's head and replied with a smile: "It is said that Jiang is old and spicy, and his ability must be higher than you and mine." ”

Shi Xingyun smiled happily, led Bai Yutian out of the donkey and horse market, and walked towards Mingcui Courtyard.
