Volume 1 The Boy's Journey, the Journey of the World Chapter 22 Returning Home
Chapter 22: Returning Home
"It's a lot, don't you want to hurry up, although there are people in your government, but every day of delay, isn't there an extra risk?" Shi Yi obviously thought about it and answered.
The boss looked at Shi Yi in shock, he has been able to do this business for so long, there must be some connections in the government, but it is not good to delay it for a long time, this young man is not simple, and he can even think of this level of relationship. After thinking about it carefully, what Shi Yi said also made sense, so he said again, "Shaoxia has a good vision, since this is the case, five hundred taels is five hundred taels, I don't know how many horses Shaoxia plans to have?"
"Two horses are enough," he said.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, someone will take you to the horse market, the horse is in the horse market, you can trade when you have the money ready. β
Shi nodded, obviously thinking that this method of trading was quite feasible.
......
"Senior brother, this horse is so difficult to tame, I can't tame it," Qian Bao said in a slightly depressed voice.
"Come, I'll teach you, first you have to ......" while telling Qian Bao how to train a horse, while demonstrating to Qian Bao.
At this time, the two of them were already leading Hu Ma on the official road, Shi Yi had learned to ride a horse with his master, and he had learned some experience from the books, but Qian Bao didn't understand it at all, although he had also read books, but he still couldn't tame the wild and untamable horses of the Hu people. Shi Yi was not in a hurry, so he taught Qian Bao to ride a horse while hurrying, and it took more than half an hour for Qian Bao to finally be able to ride a horse on his own, although he didn't dare to run wildly, but it was finally not a problem to hurry.
Shi Yi left Jiang Yuancheng smoothly after the transaction between the horse market and those Hu people was completed early in the morning, and Shi Yi thought that there would be a scene where Hu people were going to find a few people to scare Shi Yi and Qian Bao, and then give away a thousand taels of silver for nothing, but unfortunately it backfired. Shi Yi didn't encounter this kind of thing, and he thought that he could save this thousand taels, but he didn't plan to repay the debt, and it was not easy to go out to do business, and he wouldn't do anything against the Dao for these silver taels.
With the horse to hurry the time is indeed greatly reduced, originally a day or two to get to the next town, this time only takes half a day to arrive, because of homesickness, Shi Yi and Qian Bao discussed and prepared to sleep in the wild, although the food and accommodation is not as comfortable as the inn in the town, but don't go to the wild to sleep in the field, the whole time can also be used at night to practice, as for the town aura is really thin can not be cultivated.
However, the two of them will not rush all the way like this, and every two or three days they will go to the next town to have a good meal and stay overnight, and so on all the way down. Although there were also a few robberies of bandits and hooligans who were not long-eyed on the way, it was a pity that in the end their money went into Shi Yi's pocket, and Shi Yi also left them some medical expenses, after all, none of these thieves stood and watched Shi Yi and Qian Bao walk away, originally Shi Yi thought that if he did this, Qian Bao would be unbearable, but according to Qian Bao's words, these bandits are innocent of death, and it seems that he is still angry about the thieves killing his parents.
Shi Yi told Qian Bao that some thieves deserve to die, but some are not guilty of death, these bandits on the other hand, they are also a group of poor people, if they are not to fill their stomachs, why bother to be bandits? Of course, what if those thieves who robbed homes and houses, killed people and set fires died?
Qian Bao also nodded thoughtfully after listening to Shi Yi's words.
In this way, the two of them traveled all the way, and the journey that would have taken more than a month to rush back to Yunshan Town was saved to less than a month.
Smelling the familiar air and looking at those familiar scenes, Shi Yi was also a little excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go home to visit his parents immediately.
......
Qingzhu Inn is still as people come and go as before, regardless of early summer, autumn and winter, Yunshan is always verdant and verdant, attracting a large number of literati and ink writers to come here to write poetry and painting.
Shi Yi's second uncle is still making a living in front of the Qingzhu Inn, although he is appreciated by the boss, but this job is not on the stage after all, and is looked down upon by many people in Yunshan Town.
On this day, Shi Xin welcomed a wave of guests to the inn, suddenly felt a pain in his legs, people are older and have been outside the door for a long time to welcome guests, the wind and the sun are blowing, there will always be some problems in the legs, Shi Xin gently hammered the hammer with his fist, every time his leg hurts, Shi Xin wants to quit this job, but when he thinks that the entire Shi family is farming, if he resigns, not to mention whether he can work in the field, what can the following children do, although this job is hard, but the monthly salary is not bad, several children go to school is basically supported by him, although the eldest brother and the third brother persuaded him many times to forget it, but after all, Shi Xin has seen the world, Knowing that only reading can slowly change the fate of the Shi family, his ideals are not very ambitious, the Shi family can gain a firm foothold in Yunshan Town, and the children behind can study freely, and the family will not be unable to eat, and the children can eat a meal of meat every two or three days, but this small wish has not been realized until now.
Fortunately, the eldest son of the third brother is already a scholar in Washington, although he is only a companion, but it is also a more decent job than him. As for the third brother's youngest son, he is still young, but he is also smart and happy, and he is planning to send him to study with his husband as soon as he can go to school.
As for Shi Yi of the eldest brother's family, when he thinks of this child, he is also very concerned in his heart, this child is sensible, but more than two years ago, he followed Wu Ming Dao Chang to learn martial arts, and this walk is more than two years, and he was just ten years old when he left, this will be almost thirteen, he is a big child, but this child is really ruthless, he has been walking for so long, and he has not replied to his family. If it weren't for the fact that Wu Mingdao, the master of Shiyi, sent a letter every two months, the family would still think that the child was gone.
Thinking of my sister-in-law's tears every time she saw the letter, she was also a little uncomfortable in her heart, maybe if she hadn't let Shi Yi go out with Wu Ming to learn martial arts......
Shi Zhen was thinking about it, a big man came to the door, and the big man was carrying a nine-ring treasure knife behind him, with a mighty physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce look.
"Xiao Er, Xiao Er" Dahan named Jin Xiongba, also rushed from other places to pass by this Qingzhu Inn, saw that this inn was not bad, and planned to stay here for a night, but when he saw the little two at the door was stunned, he didn't like it for no reason, usually passing by the store which little two did not see him respectfully, and he had to come all the way to take care of it, this little two can be good, not only did not take care of himself, but also thought about things out of his mind.
When I saw someone calling him, I looked at it and saw that the person who came was not good, but I had to greet him how to greet him.
"This guest officer, are you eating or staying at a hotel?" asked Shi Cheng with a smile.
"Don't you have long eyes, Lao Tzu has been bumpy all the way, and he is almost tired, hurry up and prepare a good guest room for Lao Tzu, and then prepare some specialties in your store, it is not delicious Lao Tzu is not happy to demolish your store. Golden Bear shouted loudly.
Although Shi Zhenzhong despised this kind of person a little, he didn't dare to have a disrespectful look on his face, and hurriedly said with a smile, "What did the guest officer say, the food in our inn is satisfactory." β
"What nonsense, hurry up and lead the way, Lao Tzu is about to starve to death. Jin Xiongba obviously looked down on Xiao Er, who was a miscellaneous person like Shi Xin, and he didn't like it in his heart, and his mouth became more and more ugly.
Although this big man's speech is a little ugly, but looking at his appearance, he may not be a practitioner, it is better to be careful to entertain, Shi sincerely thought.
But this leg went wrong at a critical time, when Shi Xin entered the inn with Jin Xiongba, because the steps at the door of the inn were some high, there was no problem for ordinary people to cross the step, and Shi Xin didn't care about this step before, but today this leg was raised by Shi Xin to step over, and there was a pain in the heart, and suddenly Shi Xin couldn't stand steadily, and if he couldn't stand steadily, he would have to find something to help him, and Shi Xin would definitely hold on to the door frame, but Jin Xiongba walked too fast, and when Shi Xin was about to crookedly help the door frame, he walked to the door frameγ
At this moment, Shi Zhen put his hand on Jin Xiongba's body, although it was only a light ride, Shi Xin stabilized his body, but he knew that his hand was on this big man just now, this big man is not good at talking, thinking of this, Shi Xin also quickly stabilized his body, bent down and said respectfully to Jin Xiongba, "The guest officer is really sorry, my legs have been a little inconvenient recently, and I have caused you trouble, please don't care." β
Jin Xiongba only felt that there was a breath in his heart at this time that was about to explode, such a despicable person, his hand actually touched his clothes, when he thought of this kind of person doing despicable things all day long, he didn't know how dirty his hands were, and he looked at Shi Xin and hurriedly apologized, and he felt disgusted, and immediately roared to "Cheap thing, how can you compensate me, take out five thousand taels of silver and forget it, otherwise I will kill you." "Jin Xiongba is not completely angry because of the current matter, he has been holding back his anger when he came, and he is worried that there is no place to sprinkle, and this lowly person hits himself, if he doesn't sprinkle his anger on this person, how can he show his status and dignity?
"Guest officer, your subordinates are merciful, where can I give you five thousand taels of silver, please let me go. Shi Zhen begged hard, but he still hoped that Jin Xiongba would let him go.
"Cheap person, what right do you have to beg me to let you go, since you can't come up with the money, just leave the hand you just touched me" Jin Xiongba was obviously impatient, and stretched out his palm as he spoke, and was about to slap it on Shi Xin's head. This is to waste one hand, and it is estimated that this palm will not die and be seriously injured.
Shi Xin was already scared and couldn't dodge, and because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he couldn't run if he wanted to, so he saw his palms approaching quickly, and he suddenly felt desperate in his heart.
