Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 23 The first time to set foot in the rivers and lakes

Until noon, Xiaoyaozi didn't make up his mind whether to deal with this young man who was both righteous and evil. Xiaoyaozi thought of the reason why Tianyi suddenly went crazy, and that was to be stimulated. Therefore, he felt that he might not be able to solve the Heavenly Relic at all, after all, at the moment of life and death, it was difficult to guarantee that the Heavenly Relic would not be stimulated again and summon the demons in his body.

The Celestial Relic once said that the meteorite had an effect on his body, and presumably the sudden madness of the Celestial Relic after being stimulated was also related to the meteorite. It seems that I have harmed this child. Xiaoyaozi began to regret a little, regretting that he had involved this young man.

But Xiaoyaozi thought about it again, and felt that something was wrong, why did this meteorite affect the Heavenly Inheritance? Combined with the Ying Long Demon Pattern on his back, he felt more and more that something was wrong. This morning, Xiaoyaozi's heart is very complicated, like a mess that can't be sorted out.

Xiaoyaozi made up his mind that no matter what secrets this young man had, he could no longer let the Heavenly Relic follow him. He didn't want a wise teenager to be ruined like this, and he didn't want to involve more innocent people. So, he decided to leave the legacy behind and let the poor child find another way to live.

Tianyi remembered what Gongyezi said before leaving, and he knew that he couldn't go back, and he couldn't be a royalist for Gongyezi. This means that livelihood in the future becomes a big problem. What should I do in the future? Flaming Horse, can you tell me?

"Brother," Celestial Relic stroked the Flame Horse, "you and I will be dependent on you from now on." ”

Perhaps it was the events of last night that made the horse still frightened, and it took a bite on the arm of the Celestial Relic in confusion, condemning the Celestial Relic for what he had done last night. If it could speak, it would surely say something like, "You deserve to be called a brother to me?"

"Hey, you hairie," said Celestial Relics, pointing at the flames, gritting his teeth, "try to bite me again, and believe it or not, I'll roast horse jerky tonight." ”

The flame pricked up its ears and hissed as it stumbled, this time in protest. However, if it were to slaughter the little horses in the stable, it wouldn't mind taking a bite and seeing how the meat tasted.

"Let's go, let's find a place to hunt. Tenji grabbed the flaming mane, stepped on the stirrups, and rode the horse with ease. Then came a sentence, "If you can help me catch the prey, brother, I will give you a meal, and concentrate feed will be served." ”

The flaming horse flapped its ears, shook its head a few times, and began to gallop with a step. As soon as I heard that I was going to add food to myself, look at how highly motivated it was, it was really an out-and-out foodie. It carried the relics through the woods, over the desolate fields, and soon to the southern suburbs.

For a teenager who is growing his body, he hasn't eaten for most of the day and his stomach is rumbling, which is normal. It's just that even if they use the only three silver coins on their bodies to buy some food, the residents of this southern suburb may not be willing to sell them to themselves, because this year's locust plague has left them with no harvest.

On weekdays, you can be a royal for the master of Gongye, and you can also drink a bowl of corn porridge, nibble on a few sweet potatoes, and occasionally clip a few chopsticks to eat the leftover meat. But now, this kind of beautiful day can never go back, everything has changed, and it came so suddenly, there is no room for preparation for yourself.

It's all to blame on that stinky Taoist priest, so that the master is now going to sleep in the open. I really don't know that salt and rice are expensive, but now the key is that it is difficult to find a bowl of corn porridge to drink, let alone salt, where is home?

These three silver coins with the Big Dipper are the only wealth left to him by the old emperor. Perhaps this is the savings of his old man's life, and it can be seen from the thin cloth that each silver coin is wrapped in a thin cloth, how much the old emperor cherishes these three silver coins, for fear that they will wear out.

These three silver coins have been in my pocket for three years, and I have not been willing to spend them, because this is the thought of the old emperor who has the grace of nurturing him. But now, these three silver coins have a hairy use left on my body! How nice it would be if they were three big, round cakes! In that case, after I have eaten enough, I don't mind giving a little to this "wool" carrying myself.

The Celestial Relic took a silver coin and took a bite, "Well, that's what wealth tastes like. ”

I am also a rich man anyway, even if my stomach is hungry and gurgling, I have to show the momentum of a rich man. Walk through the streets with majesty and dignity, so as not to be called a barbarian all the time.

"Hmm, it's so fragrant, it's the smell of roasted sweet potatoes. "When I smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, the momentum of the rich people of Tianyi can no longer be raised. The heavenly relics salivated and flipped off the horse's back, and ran to the door of a house with a puff of smoke, "Wow, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes is so fragrant." ”

Faced with the sudden barbarian boy, the mother and son in the house were first shocked, and then looked at the heavenly relics curiously.

"That, auntie, can you sell me one of these roasted sweet potatoes?" Tianyi asked very politely, "I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and I'm really hungry." ”

The eldest lady was still a little hesitant, and she was still a little overwhelmed in the face of the request of this young man who suddenly broke in. The boy of seven or eight years old still had a charred powder around his mouth, which was the mark left by eating roasted sweet potatoes. The little guy listened to the request of the Heavenly Relic and smiled from ear to ear. A pair of small black hands held a hot roasted sweet potato and handed it to Tianyi, "Big brother, this big one is for you." ”

Although he was already hungry and salivating, Tianyi did not immediately take the roasted sweet potato, but looked at the eldest mother. Even if this little guy is full of kindness, he only dares to take it if the eldest mother agrees. After all, this year's locust plague has made their lives very difficult.

Seeing that this barbarian boy was so polite, the eldest lady bent down to take the roasted sweet potato from the child's hand, smiled and handed it to the heavenly relics, "Eat, child." ”

"Thank you, auntie, thank you, little brother. With tears in his eyes, Tianyi took the roasted sweet potato and devoured it.

"Eat slowly, be careful of choking," the eldest lady said with concern, "It's not enough, there's still something here." ”

The little guy pointed to the relics and sneered: "Mother, look at him, he eats all over his face, and he looks like a stupid melon." ”

Tianyi finished eating in a few bites, and took out a silver coin, "Auntie, you take this." ”

"Ouch, young man, how can you give money by nibbling on a sweet potato?"

"But this year's natural disaster, you are all in difficulty. ”

"Kid, although it is not easy for everyone this year, we can still eat roasted sweet potatoes. You can keep the money for yourself. ”

"Auntie, I can't eat your roasted sweet potatoes for nothing. ”

Tianyi insisted on giving her the silver coins, but the lady insisted on not accepting them. Tianyi smiled and touched the little guy's head, "What's your name?"

"Derpy. The little guy replied, and the eldest lady usually called him that.

The Celestial Relic shoved the silver coin into the little one's little hand, "This, you take it." ”

"I can't ask for anything from you. Derpy handed the silver coin to the Heavenly Relic again.

At this time, the eldest lady came over with a roasted sweet potato, "You can put away this money yourself, it's not easy to go out, keep it for emergencies." You're so big, how can you eat a roasted sweet potato? Take this and eat it on the road. ”

"Thank you, auntie. ”

Look, this silver coin didn't have a flower, and it got two roasted sweet potatoes. It is also a charm to be able to reap the kindness of the simple people. In this year of famine, if it were someone else, it might not be favored by the eldest lady, and it would be eaten with two roasted sweet potatoes for nothing.

Blaze sniffed at the roasted sweet potato in the Heavenly Relic's hand, and opened his mouth to take a bite. Tianyi hurriedly dodged, "This, I must not give it to you, it's not that my brother and I are stingy, but you, a "wool" who was born to eat coarse grains, will have stomach trouble if you eat this fine grain." ”

Blaze is a rare maroon horse, and because it is much taller than the others, it has survived the fate of pulling a cart. As an idle horse, he is usually very able to eat, and he is often beaten by a fat meal for stealing his mouth. The most important thing is that this "wool" has a very bad temper, and he doesn't say anything about his temperament, he gnaws when he opens his mouth, and he raises his legs. Therefore, the heavenly relics named this "wool goods" Blaze.

Blaze had to be locked up in the stable with the other horses, and it was definitely an overlord when it stood out from the crowd. Usually bullying and bullying those little people and horses is what this "wool goods" often do. Therefore, in the eyes of the old man Gongye, this "wool goods" is useless, especially edible, and overbearing, and has long been expelled from the house.

Several buyers came to the Gongye Mansion, and the price was negotiated with the old man, but when they happily went to take the wool, they were either gnawed a few bites or kicked a few times. These buyers all had blue noses and swollen faces, and left, according to their very embarrassed statement of covering their noses, "Even if you put money on me to take this wool away, I won't do it." ”

The flames were like stones in a pit, smelly and hard, and no one could subdue them. But the heavenly relics don't believe in this evil, and they are stunned to cure this wool goods obediently. After several games, Tianyi finally understood the rules at the cost of a few hard falls. Those saddles, stirrups, are the products of that cruel environment.

On the day of the Tengu Eclipse, the Tengu was thrown down by the wool and fell hard, and after waking up, he began to have strange dreams. It stands to reason that everyone dreams, and it's not surprising that there are some bizarre scenes in dreams. But tonight's dream can be connected to last night's "plot", which is particularly incomprehensible.

It was also after that day that my back became more and more itchy, as if there were thousands of insects about to break out of the skin. After that, every time I looked at the moon on a full moon night, there was an indescribable hazy feeling. And last night was the middle of July, and the moon on the night of Zhongyuan turned red, and I don't remember what happened after that.

It is said that on the night of the Middle Kingdom, the ghosts of Hades will return to the yang world. And what happened to the red moon last night? I don't remember what happened after that, could it really be a ghost? I really can't figure it out, it's really a ghost in Nima.

Why do you think so much? I think too much about my brain. In order to fill your stomach, it is the right thing to go hunting. The Heavenly Relic rode his horse and headed all the way to the south.

In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, where there were differences in respect and inferiority, not to mention the difference in titles (duke, marquis, earl, son, male) five titles, even the domain names were divided by (city, Guo, suburbs, pastoral, and wild). Build three miles of the city to defend the king, build seven miles of Guo to guard the people, this is the beginning of the city. Outside the castle, it is called the suburbs, and it is an area for farming. The suburbs are called grazing and are areas for grazing. Outside the herd is a place infested by wild beasts, so it is called wild.

The place that Tianyi wants to go to is the wilderness outside Nanmu. Xuanyuan Honglie went out of the city to hunt and returned with a full load, presumably in the wilderness outside Nanmu. So, the Celestial Relic decided to try his luck there.

Moreover, Gongsun Zhaoyang drove the carriage to the Nanguo City Gate, and learned from the soldiers guarding the city gate that the barbarian boy on horseback had not returned to the city since he left the city yesterday afternoon. Gongsun Zhaoyang's goal is also very clear, that is, to go to the southern suburbs and continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the barbarian boy.

By the time Gongsun Zhaoyang arrived in the southern suburbs, it was already past time, and the sun had already begun to turn west. They asked a few residents at first, but they didn't get the ideal answer. It wasn't until they were asked about Derpy that the honest little guy told them, "Big brother on horseback?" and we gave him two roasted sweet potatoes. ”

"Then do you know which direction he is going?" asked Gongsun Zhaoyang.

Derpy Gourd pointed to the bluestone road, "He rode his horse in that direction." ”

"When did he leave?"

"It's been a while. ”

The eldest mother added: "That child, it has been two hours since he left. ”

"Two hours," Gongsun Zhaoyang calculated, "I guess I won't be able to catch up today." ”

"Tonight, will he settle down in Nanmu?" asked Gongsun Mingyue thoughtfully.

"Quite possibly," Gongsun Zhaoyang replied, nodding, "I hope I can find him there." ”

So, Gongsun Zhaoyang continued to drive the carriage at a gallop and rushed all the way to Nanmu.

At first, Gongsun Mingyue was worried that Princess Lea would not be able to stand the pain of this carriage and horses. But slowly, she found that this watery princess was not as delicate as she imagined. Along the way, not only did she not say bitterness, but she looked radiant and energetic.

This is the first time that Princess Leah has been transferred by her own will, and the first time she has made a choice that is truly her own. And in front of me, is the place I want to reach, will the boy in my heart be waiting for me there, is he really as perfect as he imagined, and what is the scene when we meet?

Princess Leah has so many expectations and so many longings in her heart, how can she not let it be glorious? The palace gate of the Gyeonggi Royal City can no longer close the heart of a girl who longs for love, and the carriage heading south has crushed a rut in the pursuit of freedom and happiness. Youth is like this, who is not frivolous when they are young? Who hasn't had a trip that says go?

The autumn of Nanmu is particularly charming, the sun sets, and the sun shines on the grass in the distance, showing a golden picture. In the painting, through several horses drinking water by the river, you can see a herd of cattle and sheep on the grass behind them.

The red flaming horse happily nibbled on the grass on the ground, and the heavenly relics sat on the wooden railing of the pasture. He has a horsetail in his mouth, and in the light of the setting sun, the shadow is stretched out very long, which becomes the finishing touch of the whole picture.

The carriage was driven by Gongsun Zhaoyang, and the wind came at a gallop. Princess Leah lifted the curtain of the car window, and the picture scroll slowly unfolded, as if she had seen the young man who tugged at the heartstrings, waiting in the distance......
