Chapter 30: The Streets of the Horse Market

Continued from the previous chapter

Packed up and prepared for a day, and on the second day, Gongxi boarded the boat with Zhao Hongyang and others to leave, Qingyuzi and Su Yu sent them to the dock, watching the boat get farther and farther away, until it disappeared, and then returned to the sect.

It is more than 3,000 miles from Qionghua Island to Fuzhou, and it takes a month to sail day and night. Lin Yin has taken the boat several times, but there is no sense of freshness in the boat or the sea. He spends most of the day talking with Gongxi at night, occasionally chatting with Zhao Hongyang and others, exchanging and learning martial arts. Although Lin Yin's internal strength is shocking, in terms of martial arts cultivation and insight, it is far inferior to Zhao Hongyang and others, and it is much inferior to Gongxi Wanwan, who has been taught by Qingyuzi since childhood. Therefore, after spending more than a month with several masters, Lin Yin has more understanding of his own martial arts; I also know a little bit about the major martial arts schools in the rivers and lakes. Of course, the three palms of the dragon descending that he had just learned were naturally more proficient under Zhao Hongyang's correction and polishing.

When I arrived in Fuzhou, it was July (763 AD), and the weather was hot. Lin Yin and Gongxi got off the boat and went ashore, while Zhao Hongyang continued to sail east.

Soon after getting off the boat, Gongxi Wanwan said: "Hey, it's so hot here, it's still comfortable on Qionghua Island." Lin Yin said: "Yes, but Fuzhou is much better than our hometown." (I forgot to mention that Fuzhou here is now Ningde, Fuzhou in the Tang Dynasty)

Gongxi Wanwan asked: "Your family is so bad, then do you want to go back in the future?" ”

Lin Yin said indifferently: "No, there is no one at home." And it's very hot in the summer, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. "People with small internal strength are not afraid of the cold, but they are still the same fear of the heat.

"Humph!" Gongxi walked to the city in the evening, and Lin Yin followed behind with a package and four swords. (He has two swords of his own, and Gongxi's smoky red jade is also a double sword) After entering the city, he first found a good inn, and after asking for two rooms, Gongxi took Lin Yin out to forage for food.

Most women are "delicious", but they may not be able to eat it. Gongxi loves red makeup, loves swordsmanship, and also loves to eat, especially the hot pot in Chengdu, since that year when he went to Mount Emei with Qingyuzi to eat once, he can't forget the taste. Later, she also made her own hot pot many times, but she always didn't have that taste.

There are many snacks in Fuzhou, the most famous are Fuzhou rice cakes, fish balls, oyster cakes and so on. Most of these foods are light and salty licks, Gongxi lost interest after eating some late and late, and finally went back to the inn for a light meal.

Early the next morning, the two packed their bags and set off. Gongxi was going to hire a car in the evening, so the two went to find a car and horse shop. was walking on the street, and suddenly a fourteen or fifteen-year-old beggar hurriedly bumped into Gongxi for a while. Gongxi was about to reprimand Wanwan, but the beggar hurriedly walked away. But he didn't take a few steps before Lin Yin grabbed his wrist.

"Boy, get the stuff out." Lin Yin walked behind Gongxi Wanwan and saw that the beggar had just stolen Gongxi Wanwan's money bag at the moment of collision.

The beggar looked up at Lin Yin and scolded, "Get out of your x, what money bag?" As he spoke, he was about to break free from Lin Yin, but found that his wrist was as if he was being clamped by an iron hoop.

Gongxi touched his waist every night, and the money bag was really taken away, and he walked over and pointed at the beggar and said, "Stinky food, so bold, you dare to steal my sister's things." ”

"Bastard, let go of the uncle, we beggars dare to provoke you?" The little beggar kicked and beat and shouted and cursed, and some people came to watch from the street. Lin Yin didn't want to entangle, so she slapped one hand on the beggar like electricity, and then took out Gongxi Wanwan's money bag. He also said: "If the beggars don't learn well, what is it to be sneaky?" He pushed the little beggar away and ignored him. Gongxi also saw a lot of onlookers in the evening, so he didn't care about it, so he had to leave with Lin Yin. But the man did not fulfill his wish, and the beggar shouted viciously behind him: "I have beaten someone, do you want to leave?" Then he shouted to the people around him: "Look, two outsiders are bullying the locals...... but this beggar has a bad reputation here, and the people don't know him much, so some people laugh and scold: "Little butter, stealing people again, right?" Get nailed? ”

The beggar named Little Butter took a sip and said, "Are you blind?" Obviously, he wanted to beat me and take my things, so if he didn't help, forget it, and talk nonsense. The man who was choked by him was not angry, and said, "What are you doing to me?" Everyone is gone. Little Butter looked back and saw that Lin Yin and the others had indeed gone away, and after a little thought, they turned around and left.

As Gongxi walked in the evening, he asked Lin Yin: "Gang Leader Zhao is so upright, why does the beggar gang still have such a little scum?" ”

"Hehe, he's not necessarily a beggar." Lin Yin thought in his heart that there was more than one beggar gangster.

Gongxi said in the evening: "Hey, I understand, the forest is big, there are always bad birds, right?" Lin Yin smiled.

The two inquired as they walked, and soon arrived at Chengxi Mashi. The horse market is dozens of acres large, there are many horse dealers, and there is an endless stream of horse dealers. The two of them don't know horses, and they don't know how to meet horses, so they just watch them one by one. Gongxi picked those tall and sturdy horses to pat and touch them every night, but he couldn't make up his mind to buy the horse.

"Lin Yin, you can help me choose, I want to choose a good-looking one." Gongxi couldn't make up his mind every night, so he asked Lin Yin to choose together.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Girl, the horses in this trade are all good-looking, and they come in all kinds of colors, depending on which one you like!" ”

"I like the purple ones, is there one here?" Gongxi said in the evening. The shopkeeper of the horse shop smiled: "It's a joke, purple horses, how can you buy them here." Lin Yin didn't understand and asked, "Why isn't there a purple one?" ”

"Hehe, it's not that it doesn't work, it's that it doesn't exist here. There are very few purple horses, and each of them is a peerless horse, and non-princes and generals cannot use them. It is said that when Taizong conquered Luodu Wang Shichong, the purple horse named Sa Lu Zi, was shot in the chest, Qiu Xinggong and Li Shimin exchanged horses, and pulled out arrows for Sa Lu Zi. Li Shimin praised: "Ziyan super leap, Gu Teng Shenjun, Qi Sanchuan, Weiling Eight Formations." ”

Gongxi said in the evening: "I see. He asked Lin Yin fiercely: "Eh, have you picked a good-looking one?" ”

Lin Yin said: "Yes, you come to the stable here." Lin Yin pointed to a jujube red horse and said to Gongxi Wanwan: "How about this one?" It's tall and has a good coat color. ”

Gongxi looked at the horse in the evening, then at Lin Yin, and said disdainfully: "What vision?" Isn't that pretty? Lin Yin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then I'll look at it again." When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Oh, my little brother has a very good eye, and although this horse is of ordinary color, it has a strong mouth, strong limbs, and a strong chest and back, and it is an excellent horse." ”

Gongxi ignored him and boasted about himself, and said: "Boss, there is no better one here, I'll take a look at another one." The boss of the horse shop stopped being verbose and said, "Okay, if you don't pick a good one, let's take a look." ”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the horse shop, they heard someone shouting: "Boss Zeng, it's them." ”
