Chapter 8 The robbery of the green ox and the first attempt at it
Zhang Xiaochuan packed up some gold and silver, and was determined to leave Qingxi Town, this sad place, the farther away he was, the better. Although he still has many questions in his heart, although he still has a lot of things to say to Xiao Yezi, the matter has come to this, and knowing more is only to increase his troubles, Zhang Xiaochuan had to silently bless Xiao Yezi and wish his childhood sweetheart to be happy. Zhang Xiaochuan prayed for her blessings, and secretly worried about her situation, but what could he do for her. Zhang Xiaochuan's mood was heavy and his steps were heavy, and he had no choice but to choose to embark on the journey to leave.
Walking the rivers and lakes with a heavy bag is really inconvenient, and Zhang Xiaochuan thought that it would be better to buy a horse to travel. After figuring out this section, Zhang Xiaochuan walked towards the mule and horse market. There are so many people in the market, there are people who come and go in the market, there are people who lead horses, there are people who sell mules, and there are people who sell cattle and donkeys, what a lively market, a prosperous scene.
Zhang Xiaochuan squeezed around in the crowd, looking for his favorite target, and suddenly a long neigh, which attracted his attention, looking for prestige, only to see a little red horse strong and cute, with a long mane scattered and shiny. Zhang Xiaochuan circled around it a few times, although he didn't know Soma, but the more he looked at the little red horse, the more he loved it, and he couldn't help but touch its neck. The little red horse suddenly neighed, and kicked at Zhang Xiaochuan with his front hooves, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaochuan saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly flashed to the side and was almost kicked. It seems that this little red horse is quite wild, which just aroused Zhang Xiaochuan's desire to conquer. "It's you, I'll see how I clean you up in a moment. Zhang Xiaochuan said as he walked towards the horse seller.
The man who sold the horse was an honest-looking man, "This horse is yours?" "Hmm" "How much is it?" "Twenty taels of silver." "Okay, I want this horse. After Zhang Xiaochuan finished speaking, he threw two big silver ingots to the horse seller, as much as forty taels, "Here, it's all for you." The horse seller was stunned, and even the people around him who saw this scene were surprised, thinking, "This horse seller is really a blessing, he has met the God of Wealth." Zhang Xiaochuan didn't say much, took the horse and left. has a horse, and there is still a lack of saddle sheath, Zhang Xiaochuan picked a beautiful saddle for it, and the little red horse looks even more beautiful, the more Zhang Xiaochuan looks at it, the more he likes it, and he is proud in his heart. The horse's equipment is complete, but Zhang Xiaochuan always feels that there is something missing, and after thinking about it for a long time, it is easy to remember that he still lacks a sword to take advantage of. So he took his horse and walked towards the sword-seller. He spotted a Qingfeng sword, as soon as the sword came out of the sheath, the voice was crisp and good, and the cold light on the sword was shining, although it was not the best, but it could be regarded as a top grade, Zhang Xiaochuan shook it, and felt very comfortable, so he paid the money and led the horse away proudly.
When he arrived on the road, there were not many people coming and going, so Zhang Xiaochuan wanted to step on the horse and gallop for a while, which was better than the addiction of horseback riding. In the past, his uncle took him out on horseback, and when he thought that he could also ride alone, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel excited. Zhang Xiaochuan climbed the saddle, and was about to step on the horse's pedal with his left foot, but the little red horse suddenly became wild. The little red horse jumped to the side and didn't let Zhang Xiaochuan ride, it kicked and jumped around, not letting Zhang Xiaochuan get close. Zhang Xiaochuan stood aside and looked at it, thinking about countermeasures. This little red horse is very smart, Zhang Xiaochuan doesn't move, it doesn't move, Zhang Xiaochuan approached it a little, it immediately began to leap and move, from time to time to make a flying kick. The little red horse held his head high and raised his toes, as if he was provoking Zhang Xiaochuan. Zhang Xiaochuan was aroused and flew off the horse. How could the little red horse give up, its front legs were held high, its hind legs were erected, and it was erected high, wanting to lift Zhang Xiaochuan off his back. Zhang Xiaochuan clamped the body of the little red horse tightly with his legs, and wrapped his arms around its neck. The little red horse came several times, but he couldn't throw Zhang Xiaochuan down, so he had to change his strategy.
The little red horse's front and hind hooves alternately rise and fall, and it rises and falls like a wave, wave after wave, and one wave is more violent than the other. Zhang Xiaochuan's body followed the little red horse, up and down, shaking violently, and his arms and legs did not dare to relax for a moment. The little red horse's physical strength is very good, but Zhang Xiaochuan's arms are slightly sore, and he wants to let go of his hand and relax his arms a little, but the little red horse is also alert, feeling that Zhang Xiaochuan's arm is loosened, the little red horse's movement amplitude and rhythm immediately accelerated, Zhang Xiaochuan was careless for a while, and was thrown off the horse. A good Zhang Xiaochuan, as soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately jumped up, and then fell on the horse's back, and his hands subconsciously grabbed it, and he actually grabbed the long horsehair of the little red horse. The little red horse was not convinced, and jumped and tossed desperately, but he no longer threw Zhang Xiaochuan off the horse. The little red horse jumped for a while, and had no other way, let go of its four hooves and galloped forward, hoping to throw Zhang Xiaochuan off the horse. Zhang Xiaochuan had the previous lesson, he no longer dared to be careless, he grabbed the horse's mane tightly, and no longer dared to let go, the speed of the little red horse accelerated, and Zhang Xiaochuan grasped it more firmly with both hands. The little red horse galloped for more than thirty miles like a gust of wind, and the mane was grabbed by Zhang Xiaochuan's hands more and more painfully, and the tossing time was not short, and the little red horse was also very tired, and suddenly stopped. Zhang Xiaochuan firmly grasped the mane of the little red horse, leaned close to the horse's back, and pitched back and forth a few times, but was not thrown away by the little red horse. The little red horse breathed heavily, no longer running or jumping, Zhang Xiaochuan lay on the horse's back, and did not dare to move for a long time. When the breath of the little red horse stabilized, Zhang Xiaochuan lifted the reins of the horse, clamped his legs, and the little red horse let go of its four hooves and ran forward, it no longer played any tricks, and steadily carried Zhang Xiaochuan forward, Zhang Xiaochuan was beautiful in his heart, and he had a sense of achievement.
From then on, the little red horse was very obedient, and the foot was fast, Zhang Xiaochuan rode on the horse, but he didn't know where to go, so he had to believe in the reins of the horse and go wherever he went.
After walking for a few days, Zhang Xiaochuan suddenly came to a big mountain, only to see the mountains undulating, its momentum is majestic, the trees on the mountain are verdant, giving people the feeling that this place is very beautiful and quiet.
Zhang Xiaochuan slowly played the horse, closed his eyes slightly, and walked to the woods in front of the mountain, enjoying the leisure and quietness comfortably.
"Huh", a sudden shout shocked Zhang Xiaochuan back to reality, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that a group of robbers blocked the way. The leader of the big man looked fierce and vicious, a ghost head knife in his hand, he roared loudly, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth." ”
Zhang Xiaochuan knew that he had met a robber, so he ignored him, let alone answered, held the handle of the sword in his right hand, and was ready.
"Boy, did you hear that?" The big man saw that Zhang Xiaochuan was not very old, riding a good horse, carrying a lot of baggage, and was happy that he had brought a lot of red goods, but when he saw that he ignored what he said, he couldn't help but start to get angry.
"Grandpa can hear me clearly. Zhang Xiaochuan has been hit repeatedly recently, and there is no place to come out of a vicious breath, and when he saw this fierce god, he immediately spoke viciously.
"Bold, I think you are impatient to live and dare to speak to your uncle like this. After speaking, the big man raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Xiaochuan's head.
The big man came very violently, Zhang Xiaochuan didn't dare to be careless when he sat on the horse, hurriedly turned the horse's head to the side, and flashed a knife from the big man sideways, and the sword was out of the sheath at the same time. The big man was too light on the enemy, and he used too much force to close the knife, and was stabbed under the horse by Zhang Xiaochuan with a sword. Seeing this, Dahan's accomplices hurriedly came to the rescue, Zhang Xiaochuan was murderous, jumped off the horse, rushed left and right, and after a while, five or six people fell among the robbers, and the rest of the people saw that the other party was young, and their skills were so good, knowing that they were not opponents, they fled back to the mountains to move the rescuers.
Zhang Xiaochuan didn't chase either, and continued to move forward on horseback.
