After Li Mingyi and Xie Yarong returned to the Lu family's pawnshop, they went back to their rooms to rest, but Li Mingyi was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night when he looked at so much silver. As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Mingyi went to Qin's shopkeeper to exchange the silver for a silver ticket.

Li Mingyi always felt that it was not safe enough to carry so much silver, so he decided to break away from the caravan and go to the holy capital first. After all, he was too ostentatious yesterday, and most of the time he was noticed by the Vulcan Cult. Therefore, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. So, after Li Mingyi exchanged the silver ticket, he went to the market in a hurry to buy two horses.

Li Mingyi bought the horse and returned to the Lu family's pawnshop when it was close to noon. As soon as he returned to the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Xie Yarong. As soon as she saw him, Xie Yarong asked, "Where have you been this morning?" Why didn't I see you? I thought you made some money and ran away. ”

Li Mingyi said: "How is it possible, I do what I say." I decided that in a moment we would leave for the Holy Capital and not go with the caravan again. ”

Xie Yarong was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?" Didn't you say you would go with the caravan? ”

"You're stupid." Li Mingyi didn't forget to hurt her before explaining, "I was so swaggering yesterday, what if I was noticed by the Vulcan Sect?" Of course, you have to run away in advance. ”

Xie Yarong said angrily: "You also know that you are swaggering." ”

Li Mingyi replied: "Who let you have no travel expenses." ”

"You ......" Xie Yarong was speechless in an instant.

Li Mingyi was afraid that she would be angry, so he changed his calm tone and continued: "Okay, I'll go and talk to Mr. Wu in a while, you pack your luggage first, and we'll leave immediately." ”

Li Mingyi went to Wu Wei and Lü Buti to say goodbye, and they kept him, and when they saw that he seemed to have made up his mind, they no longer forced him to stay. In this way, after lunch, Li Mingyi and the two left the city that never sleeps.

As the sun set, Li Mingyi sat on a horse, carrying a bag full of silver tickets, looking at the fiery sunset, and humming a Liangzhou minor tune in a good mood. At this moment, he was so complacent that he didn't care at all that he couldn't catch up with the inn because he was walking too slowly.

It was the first time Xie Yarong had ridden such a long way on horseback, the two strands had already been grinded to death, and she was already tired to death at this time, and when she heard him humming an ugly folk tune, she couldn't help but say: "It's hard to hear!" Can you please stop singing. ”

"This one is more ugly, I'll change it." Li Mingyi didn't feel that he was singing ugly at all, and continued to sing, "I...... Home ......"

Seeing that he changed the song to something even more ugly, Xie Yarong immediately interrupted: "Li Daxia, you can spare me." If you continue to sing it, I guess I'm going to go crazy. It's getting dark soon, where are we going to rest? In order to prevent Li Mingyi from continuing to sing, Xie Yarong quickly found a topic.

Li Mingyi looked at the distant mountain side with only a small half of the sun exposed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll see if there is a Zhuangzi in front of me to spend the night, it's really not good, so I can only sleep in the wilderness." ”

Xie Yarong was a little disappointed, she had been on the road for a day today, and she still really wanted to have a bed to rest at night, after all, she had never grabbed a bed when she lived in a room with Li Mingyi. Xie Yarong complained: "It's all because of you, you are in such a hurry to leave, otherwise how could you not catch up with the inn." ”

"Blame me?" Li Mingyi said angrily, "If it weren't for your slow ride, how could you not catch up with the inn?" ”

Seeing that he blamed himself, Xie Yarong said aggrievedly: "It's the first time I've ridden a horse so far, what's wrong with being slow?" I'm wearing out my legs now, do you blame me? ”

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Xie Yarong already had some crying. Li Mingyi looked back at her inner thighs, and secretly said that he still forgot that this Miss Xie was the eldest lady, and it was good to hold on for so long for the first time on horseback. Li Mingyi was a little soft-hearted and said, "Why don't we find a place to rest first?" ”

"No, I see smoke in front of me. There should be someone in front. Xie Yarong rejected Li Mingyi's proposal and pointed to the smoke rising in front of her in the setting sun.

The smoke seemed to be close to the real distance, and the two walked for more than half an hour before they came to the smoke place. The place where the smoke is cooked is a small village, where about 100 families live. At this time, although it was just night, there was no one in the Zhuangzi, and the doors of every house were closed.

"This Zhuangzi is a little strange, the sun has just set, but there is no one outside." Li Mingyi said vigilantly while looking around.

Xie Yarong obviously didn't have these concerns, and said, "Whatever, let's find a family to ask first." ”

The two found a courtyard that looked like it should be a big family in Zhuangzhong, and Li Mingyi knocked on the courtyard door and shouted, "Is anyone at home?" ”

With this shout, Li Mingyi felt that he didn't shout too loudly, after all, he didn't use his internal strength, but in an instant, the entire Zhuangzi woke up in the dark night. A burst of dog barking sounded in the village, and every household in the village opened the door, and one by one the strong men came out of the house, each holding a torch in one hand, a sickle and a hoe in the other. After a while, the entire Zhuangzi was already brightly lit.

Looking at such a big battle, Li Mingyi came back to his senses for a while. I shouted at random, and such a large group of people actually came out, when did Lao Tzu become so powerful? After laughing at himself in his heart, Li Mingyi slowly withdrew the hand that knocked on the door.

Looking at the group of crop men in front of him who had gradually surrounded him, Li Mingyi said a little timidly: "That...... Sorry, I just got a little louder. We're here to ask if we can stay overnight. If it's inconvenient, we'll leave right away. ”

Just as Li Mingyi wanted to pull Xie Yarong away, the courtyard door he had just knocked on opened. A long, thin, long, gray beard, wrinkled and age-spotted old man appeared in front of Li Mingyi with a simple knife in his hand.

The old man looked at Li Mingyi and Xie Yarong carefully, and asked, "Stranger? ”

Seeing that someone finally opened his mouth to talk to him, Li Mingyi hurriedly said: "Yes, my sister, my sister and I missed the accommodation and wanted to come to the village for a night." ”

The old man didn't speak immediately, and looked at the horses behind Li Mingyi and Xie Yarong and the luggage on the horses before asking, "Where did you come from?" ”

"From the city that never sleeps." Li Mingyi was already nervous and almost sweating at this time, Xie Yarong hid behind him and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.

The old man nodded, obviously acknowledging the journey from the city that never sleeps to get here, and asked, "What's your last name?" ”

Li Mingyi was a little confused, the previous question was understandable, why did he suddenly ask what his surname was, but with so many people surrounding him, he couldn't help but answer. Li Mingyi said: "Our surname is Li, my name is Li Mingyi, and my sister's name is Li Yarong." ”
