Chapter 19: Leaving Home

The next day, as soon as the night faded, the county government.

Pei Ye stood beside the stone table, watching Master Chang and Master Huang rummage through their bags that were clear at a glance.

"How can you bring just two pieces of clothing? What if it rains? Master Huang frowned, "Bring another pair of straw sandals for your shoes." ”

Chang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "And at least bring a hat - I'll get it for you." ”

"Copper coins! Why do you only bring silver, and you have to give someone a piece of silver for a cup of tea on the way? ”

"Daggers, flints. These are must-haves – and don't bring them with you? ”

Master Huang raised his eyes and rolled his eyes, slapped the dagger on his waist on the table, and turned his head to the firewood room.

Pei Ye touched his head, looked at the package that had doubled in size in less than a quarter of an hour, and when he looked up, he saw Master Huang who came back with a cold light in his hand, and exclaimed: "Axes, axes don't need to be used, right?" ”

"There are many times in the mountains and forests that need to be chopped." Master Huang placed the small axe next to the dagger.

At this time, Chang Zhiyuan came back with a hat, patted Pei Ye and said, "Okay, here we will help you prepare, you go to the back to pick a horse." ”

Pei Li's eyes lit up, this was exactly what he was looking forward to today.

"Good!"

Ever since he learned to ride a horse, Pei Ye has always wanted to have a horse of his own. But first, the horse is too expensive, and it costs nearly twenty taels to buy one in a small town, not to mention the cost of raising it; Second, he doesn't go out of the town, and it's useless to raise horses.

Now Chang Zhiyuan asked him to pick these horses are all owned by the government, and he can't let him take them away at will, it is Chang Zhiyuan who replaced one with the house as a reward before, and he will make up for the extra three or four taels of the difference himself, so there is a section on picking horses.

Pei Ye walked briskly to the backyard, and the groom was already standing on the edge of the stable.

Four large horses lined up, brown, brown, red, and yellow.

"There are already two horses here in the yamen, and there are five horses on the Wubei side, so I picked two good ones and brought them to you." "Look at it." ”

β€œ.”

Pei Ye felt that he didn't need to look at it at all.

As soon as he entered the backyard, his eyes were already attracted by the jujube red horse on the second left, which was half a head taller than the other three.

Pei Ye walked up to the horse and patted it gently.

The groom laughed: "Hey, you know." ”

Pei Ye also smiled, turned his head and said, "Uncle, is this horse okay?" ”

"Okay, what's not going to work, I'll pick it up for you." "But I have to make it clear to you, I know you like it to be powerful, but if you want to run to the state city, it's better to choose another horse." ”

He patted the horse's buttocks next to him.

Pei Ye saw that this horse was yellow and white, the shortest of the four, and his temperament was also a little dull, not like the jujube horse arrogantly, and he was still chewing the grass with his head down all the time.

Pei Ye was not very happy, so he pouted and said, "I still want that horse." ”

"Okay." The groom laughed, "That horse is really good." ”

He led the jujube red horse to Pei Li, Pei Ye looked up and down, the horse's coat was brown and red, like a clump of autumn leaves, and the mane and long tail were more red, like a flame burning on the leaves.

Its dark eyes did not look down at the new owner in front of it, but it either raised its head or looked left and right, and its hooves restlessly touched the ground, quite eager to try.

The more Pei Li looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and nodded: "That's it!" ”

"Okay." I don't know why the groom is also quite satisfied, "Then I'll retire for a while." ”

"Huh?" Pei Ye glanced at the groom blankly, and the groom smiled kindly, took the horse and turned away.

Pei Ye couldn't put it down and circled around the big horse several times before returning to the front yard, at this time the package had been rearranged by the two elders and packed neatly.

In total: a large bag more than twice the size, a roll of tarpaulin, which could be carried on a horse; A blanket contains small things such as fire folding daggers, and one of the most important things - the qualification document issued by Feng Huai for the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition. Chang Zhiyuan was afraid that he would lose it, so he opened two identical ones for him, and the other one was placed in the belly of the Jiao; a full kettle; a packet of dried meat buns; A sword and a sword case are all fastened with straps, so that they can be properly carried on the back.

With the advice of the two elders, Pei Ye had a full meal at the county office, and then Master Huang led the horse and sent him to the city gate with Chang Zhiyuan.

The sky is already bright, the autumn air is refreshing, Pei Li slept beautifully last night, ate a full meal this morning, and was in good spirits, at this time he looked up to the south and watched the avenue disappear into the slope.

"Safety comes first." Chang Zhiyuan lightly held his wrist, "If there is anything, you can go to Bai Sibing, I have been friends with him for many years." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Ye nodded.

Master Huang also patted him: "Go, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he should have seen the world a long time ago." Wait for ten days, and I'll take the children to find you. ”

Chang Zhiyuan nodded: "If you have time at that time, I will also go over and have a look." ”

Pei Li was surprised: "Huh? After a tiring journey, you can rest assured that I will bring you good news. ”

Chang Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "I'm tired these days, if it's an old man over sixty in the entire county on weekdays, who has my tough body - okay." ”

The old man let go of the young man's wrist: "Let's leave early." ”

"Hmm." Pei Ye took a step back and bowed to say goodbye to the two elders.

He turned over and jumped on the horse, turned back to the two elders, and shook the reins: "Thenβ€”ahβ€”"

Pei Ye screamed, and a red Jiao seemed to burst out of his crotch, causing him to stumble on his upper body, and the Jiao body was still rising and falling fiercely, and its bumps made Pei Ye feel that he was not riding a horse, but a leopard.

He tried to adjust his body, and when he turned around, the two elders were already seven or eight feet away, and stretched out their hands to look at him with a worried face.

"-Gone!" Pei Ye waved his hand and shouted the second half of the sentence, turned around and grabbed the reins, bent his knees on the stirrups, and the body merged into the rhythm of the horse under the two ups and downs.

It's really fast.

Pei Ye has never ridden such a fast horse, nor has he ever ridden such a "sensitive" horse.

Riding another horse is like drawing a bow, you can pull as much force as you want, and run as fast as you give as much drive; Riding this horse is like a loose string, it is a full bow in itself, and if you loosen your finger a little, it will bounce out with a "bang".

"Good horses!" Pei Ye shouted excitedly, and with a clamp on the horse's belly, the horse's speed went up a new level.

It's really fast!

A flashing kestrel, a flaming flame.

Such a good horse, why should you return two taels of silver!

I'm afraid it's because it eats too much and has a strong temperament.

But Maxima is proud of eating more, and it should be so. The temperament is not a problem of horses, it is obviously a problem of their masters.

Pei Ye thought with satisfaction, his forehead was flying, as if he was riding on a rushing thunder, and the wind was hit by them head-on.
