Wen Xiu left, left in the girl's reluctant eyes, and stepped into the unknown road with the expectations of his grandfather's parents' family!

Finally, when he was leaving, looking at the girl's inexplicable eyes, he knew that it was impossible, but he passed the 'fetal suction method' to the girl!

The barren land in the countryside didn't even have a horse, but there were a few cows, but they were not suitable for driving, so Wen Xiu could only honestly hike to the nearest Loess Town!

Although it was only a small town, the distance was a little unexpected, Wen Xiu walked for a whole day, and finally arrived at Loess Town before dark!

I found an inn, ordered some food, and asked Xiao Er about the situation in the town.

Loess Town is almost the same as Chongshan Town in the Immortal Tomb, except for the different environment, it is only much larger than Chongshan Town, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation are also complete.

Looking at the small coiling in his pocket, he thought that he would have to hurry overnight, but at this big night, the horses could not be found, and the road was not easy to find!

After all, Grandpa Li has walked the road more than ten years ago, and I don't know if there are any changes, it is better to rest for one night, and now without the support of aura, the recovery speed of both body and spirit is not as good as before, and the necessary rest is still indispensable!

Early in the morning of the second day, Wen Xiu insisted on practicing the 'Fetal Suction Method' for an hour, but still did not absorb a trace of spiritual power, so he collected his work early, went to the counter and retreated, and rushed directly to the only horse market in Loess Town!

"Boss, how do you sell this horse?" Wen Xiu asked, pointing to an upper-medium horse.

Because of his shyness, he didn't dare to choose the best horse, but he really didn't like the worst class of horses, so he could only choose this medium horse!

After the boss finished greeting a few distinguished guests, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Xiu, and saw that he was a half-old boy, and his clothes were so simple that they couldn't be more simple, and he immediately said perfunctorily with a lack of interest, "Sixty taels of silver a horse." ”

The words combed the horsehair, and looked like he didn't answer.

Wen Xiu frowned, but it wasn't because of the other party's attitude, he had seen too much of this situation since he was five years old, it was not strange at all, and what he really cared about was the price!

"Aren't these medium-sized horses all forty-one taels, why did they become sixty taels when I got here?"

The boss was suddenly asked, he originally thought that the young man in front of him was just asking casually, seeing that he was not dressed like a person who could afford to buy a horse, but he didn't expect the other party to even inquire about the price!

However, after so many years in business, his brain is not slow, and he said with a smile on his face, "Little brother doesn't know, it was really about forty taels, but the road to the county town has been a little rough recently, and the grandchildren of several lords in the town have to go to the city to learn art, and there are more guards to follow, and the supply of horses is a little lacking, so the price has risen a little!"

"You call it a little up, it's up by half, okay!" Wen Xiu looked angry, this boss obviously meant to cheat him.

The boss smiled helplessly, "Recently, the demand for horses has indeed increased significantly, and the price of feed has also increased, so I can't help it!"

said with a look of embarrassment.

Wen Xiu didn't believe it very much, even if it really rose, it would definitely not rise so much, but he was too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of businessman, "Boss, just tell me the real price, don't treat me like a child who doesn't know anything......"

Seeing that he said it thoroughly, the boss didn't blush, and looked like I had suffered a loss, and said,

"Little brother, I see that you also sincerely want to buy it, you see if this will work, I will give it to you cheaper, even if you are fifty. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Yuan's voice, "Old man Qian, our old lady said, let you send twenty more horses, what kind of send, whether good or bad!"

Wen Xiu immediately frowned, and when he saw that the face of the boss who was called an old man for money had changed, he immediately knew that something bad was going to happen, so he directly took out fifty taels of silver and stuffed it into the boss's hand.

The boss of the money directly blocked back, and said with a smile, "Eh, little brother, wait a minute......

Wen Xiu didn't wait for him to finish, and spoke first, "To do business, you have to talk about first come, first come, first come, right?"

The boss was speechless for a while, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the silver handed over by Wen Xiu, and said with a smile, "It's okay to sell it to you, but I haven't finished the price just now, what I want to say is fifty-eight taels of silver!"

Wen Xiu was suddenly angry, didn't he make it clear that he would start the price of sitting on the ground, but he couldn't refute it! Originally, he thought that a few taels of silver would be counted, but he only had a total of fifty-four taels of silver left in his body, of which fifty taels were given by Grandpa Li, and five taels were given by Sister Huixin, and he didn't even dare to go to the room last night!

Helpless in his heart, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you can bring me an inferior horse." ”

The boss showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, it's gone!"

"Isn't this still there!" Wen Xiu said and was about to lead the horse, but he didn't expect to be held in his hand first.

It was the gray-clothed young man who had just called Old Man Qian, and he panted and said, "Old Man Qian, I told you, our old lady wants this horse first, don't you can't take it out when the time comes, I can't go back and pay for it!"

Boss Qian suddenly said with a flattering face, "Don't worry, Zhao Gongzi, plus there are exactly twenty heads in the stables in my house, and none of them are indispensable to your ......."

As soon as Wen Xiu heard this, he didn't plan to sell it to himself, and his heart suddenly burned with anger, and his voice became cold, "I want this horse first." ”

Seeing that Wen Xiu wanted to grab the horse, how could the young man in gray agree, this was a task specially assigned to him by the old lady, if he couldn't do it, then he wouldn't let him learn art with the young master, and he wouldn't agree to anything.

Thinking of this, he suddenly roared loudly, "Who are you, do you know who I am, do you know whose family wants this horse?"

Seeing that the other party was a half-grown teenager, Wen Xiu ignored it and still looked at Boss Qian.

Seeing that Wen Xiu ignored him, the gray-clothed young man suddenly became angry, "Let me tell you, if you dare to grab a horse with me today, see if I don't break your kid's legs." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen Xiu was also angry, his eyes widened, and an invisible momentum made the gray-clothed young man take several steps back, his face turned pale, and the reins in his hand slipped uncontrollably.

Wen Xiu took it, turned his head to Old Man Qian and said, "Boss, how much is this inferior horse?"

The boss was asked by him so coldly, and he was immediately frightened, but he knew the identity of the gray-clothed young man, that was the scholar of the little young master of the Zhao Mansion in the town, the son of the big housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, I heard that he was still a practitioner, but he didn't expect to be frightened away by the eyes of the almost old boy in front of him, how could he not be surprised!

After a long time, he reacted, and said tremblingly, "Down, inferior horse, thirty... No, twenty-five taels. ”

Wen Xiu's expression eased, then he took back half of the silver, threw the other half to the boss, led the horse and turned around and walked out of the horse shop.

After Wen Xiu walked away, Boss Qian carefully picked up the gray-clothed young man, the gray-clothed young man flicked his sleeves, pushed Boss Qian away, and said in a cold voice, "Old man Qian, I don't care what you think, find me twenty horses, otherwise my old lady will definitely not spare you easily." ”

Old man Qian's face turned pale, and he said with a crying voice, "Zhao Gongzi, you also saw it just now, it's not that I didn't help you, it's just that the person just now looked at him with clear eyebrows, but the momentum is too scary, maybe it's the son of the robber or something, how dare I offend!"

The gray-clothed young man frowned, he was also frightened by that momentum just now, so that he hadn't eased up yet, and only dared to ask the old man for an explanation.

"I heard that you also left horses for the Sun family and the Zheng family......"

Old man Qian's face was bitter again, "Then how can it be......"

After a small episode, Wen Xiu didn't take it to heart, and rode a horse on the mountain road, originally wanting to hurry up, but this inferior horse really couldn't stand the toss, and he couldn't do it after just running for a while, so he could only helplessly hurry slowly!

Stop and go along the way, more than a day has passed, and I have only walked less than a hundred miles, so I don't know when it will be the head!

Bored in his heart, he couldn't help but start practicing the 'fetal suction method' on horseback, although it may not be useful, but he has always insisted on it.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and it sounded like a caravan, and he had met it once or twice a day, so he didn't care.

"The young master is him, he stole my horse, caused me to be punished by the old lady, and almost separated from you, if you don't have me to help you, how can you get used to it alone!"

A gray-clothed young man riding a tall horse was crying to the young master next to him with a face full of grievances, only to see that there was still a bruise on his face, presumably he had been slapped by someone!

The young master on the side looked a little younger than the young man in gray, and he should be about ten years old, with a round face that looked a little naïve, but those small eyes looked at Wen Xiu in front of him, as if he hadn't heard the words of the young man in gray.

After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, didn't I let you follow." ”

As he spoke, he glanced back at the gray-clothed young man and said, "Your father's subordinates are really ruthless, I really doubt that you are his own son!"

The gray-clothed young man immediately looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer the young master's words for a while, he always felt that the young master's brain was not very good, but how could he feel that it was getting more and more wrong recently!

Seeing that he didn't speak, the brocade-clothed young man looked at Wen Xiu again, and the more he looked, the more he felt amazing, and he couldn't help but run towards Wen Xiu with his horse, as if he hadn't heard the shouts of the scholar behind him!

"Big brother, this is practicing?"

A voice suddenly appeared in his ears, Wen Xiu opened his eyes, looked at the little fat man who had been found early in the morning, and smiled slightly, but there was no affirmation or denial.

The little fat man was not angry, and said with a round face like a living treasure with a smile, "My name is Zhao Yan, I don't know what to call the eldest brother?"

"I'm not your big brother, but you can call me Wen Xiu. For this little fat man who looks a little happy, Wen Xiu didn't have much repulsion, but thought of Zhou Cong, although he was completely different from Zhou Cong, but he successfully attracted his attention!

"You're older than me, it's nothing to call your eldest brother, it doesn't hurt face. ”

Wen Xiu smiled and did not speak.

"Eh, by the way, where are Brother Wen Xiu going?" the little fat man said again.

"This road leads to Jiangcheng County. Wen Xiu replied dryly.

The little fat man nodded, "I know, the eldest brother is going to Jiangcheng County, or going to Guqiu County!"

Wen Xiu smiled and shook his head, "I'm going to go to Mianyuan County." ”

The little fat man said with a face full of surprise, "That feeling is good, I am just going to Guqiu County, and Mianyuan County is in the other direction of Guqiu County, so Brother Wenxiu can take me for a ride!"

Wen Xiu's face was speechless for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "You are a servant and a guard, do you still need me to take you?"

"That's different, they can compare with you, big brother!" the little fat man pouted with disdain.

"Why can't it be compared, is there anything different between me?" Wen Xiu was a little puzzled, he couldn't figure it out, could this little fat man still see something!

The little fat man shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, I just think you're kind and think you're different from others." ”

Wen Xiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is too fake, if the other party is a girl, if he wants to say that he thinks he is kind, he can barely accept it, but a little fat man with oily hair and a powdery face said this, no matter how he listens to this, it is like a set!

The little fat man didn't think so, and he chatted with Wen Xiu without a word.

And the gray-clothed young man behind him, seeing that his young master was chatting happily with the person who punished him, he didn't dare to step forward to disturb, he followed not near or far, looking at the young master from time to time, and looking at the escort team who was left behind from time to time......
