Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nanren Temple (Part II)

A wizened yellow horse was gnawing grass in the yard, its tail flicking, and its thin ribs could be seen.

It seemed to sense the movement of the door opening, raised its horse's head and glanced at Yu Xiu, and then continued to gnaw the grass slowly, not startled.

Yu Xiu saw the appearance of the thin horse, and his heart was quite sad. Don't look at the aging appearance of the horse in front of him, he is only an adult in terms of age.

I don't know why this horse hasn't left during the rest of the retreat...... or has not been stolen. Yu Xiu glanced at the thin horse a few more times, turned around and walked back to the morgue, and when he came out again, he already had a bag of soybeans in his hand.

Yu Xiu paced to the thin horse, but the thin horse didn't pay any attention to him. It wasn't until he took out a handful of soybeans from the bag and spilled a few on the ground that the horse's head was raised, and he looked at him with a slanted look.

Yu Xiu looked at the horse's head in front of him, and suddenly felt like he was being looked down on.

Poof! The thin horse snorted, the horse's head was raised, and the mouth kept chewing, and motioned for Yu Xiu to quickly stretch out his hand.

Yu Xiu exhaled, and secretly said how could he have a problem with a beast, and said, "I remember that you haven't left for a while, is it okay to be my mount?"

He handed the soybeans in his hand, and the thin horse lowered his head and gnawed on his palm, and with a curl of his tongue, he swallowed all the soybeans in his mouth.

The horse's mouth chewed for a moment, and before Yu Xiu could react, it poked its head into the soybean bag, blindfolded, and kept chewing. At the same time, his body arched towards Yu Xiu, causing Yu Xiu to retreat again and again.

"This rammed goods. Yu Xiu cursed in a low voice, then looked at the thin horse's back, and found that the saddle was long gone, and he didn't know where it had been thrown to, so he walked back to the hall and took a new saddle out.

The new saddle is sewn from the best cooked cowhide, the craftsmanship is old, and the price is expensive, which is another gift prepared by Yu Xiu for Uncle Seven, but Uncle Seven is no longer there, so he can only use it.

Yu Xiu walked up to the thin horse with the saddle and saw that the other party was still poking his head in the bag and chewing, like a pig offering the ground. casually threw the saddle on the horse's back, and the other party did not dodge, but just shook the horse's tail, as if he was disgusted with Yu Xiu's interference.

Yu Xiu tied the saddle for the first time, which was obviously a very simple thing, but he tied it back and forth several times. When he finally tied it, the thin horse had already rolled all the soybeans in the bag into his belly, and was chewing while turning his head to watch Yu Xiu busy working.

The eyes were quite calm, but the head was tilted, and a mane on the forehead was drooping, and there was a feeling of underbeating.

"Gone. Yu Xiu also glanced at it, then patted the horse, stepped on the stirrup and flipped onto the horse's back, and rode it.

During the whole process, the thin horse didn't dodge, just stood in place, and didn't know if he was familiar with Yu Xiu, or if he had been bought by soybeans.

It wasn't until Yu Xiu kicked the horse's belly a few times and kicked his toes that his toes hurt, and the thin horse snorted a few times, paced slowly, and walked outside Yizhuang with his head high.

Yu Xiu rode on its back, saw a handful of manes on the horse's head lifted in the wind, and said secretly: "I knew that I should have bought a whip together, so that this rammer would know that it is powerful." ”

Following the road he remembered when he came, Yu Xiu first rode back to the county seat, and then walked out of the side gate of the county seat and walked towards the road in the direction of the hotel.

During this time, he stayed in the county seat, ate some tea, bought a few sets of clothes, and put them in a package on horseback. At the same time, he also found a groom, and asked the other party to help him brush the thin horse, so as not to make the horse unkempt and lose his face.

The county town is still the same, with peddlers and pawns coming and going, shouting and shouting, but there seem to be fewer pedestrians passing by.

Yu Xiu looked at it, whether it was a zombie or a corpse, no matter how strange things fell into the ears of the world, they could only stay for a few days, and after a long time, they would be forgotten or ignored.

Perhaps the people in the county have forgotten that there was an old man with a corpse on his back in Beiguo County, known as Uncle Seven. Maybe it's only when someone dies nearby, and they might want to come or two.

Yu Xiu was not from this county, he walked out of the county seat with his horse's head, and rushed to the direction of the hotel without looking back. If he came back here next time, he might only go to Yizhuang in the west of the city.

The innkeeper once said that it takes three hours to walk between the inn and the county seat, and one hour to ride a horse. But Yu Xiu walked for an hour, and still didn't see the hotel.

The thin horse that sat down ticked and stepped on small steps, as if going out of the city for an outing, without any urgency. This made Yu Xiu's desire to buy a whip even stronger.

After walking for another half an hour, Yu Xiu finally saw a flag, which hung on the pole, and the word "wine" was faintly visible.

It was the hotel where Yu Xiu lived.

"Ride!" he hurriedly grabbed the reins and kicked the horse's belly, trying to make the thin horse speed up his pace, and quickly ran over. But the thin horse didn't do anything, and still stepped on small broken steps, and jumped, but it didn't speed up.

"Ramming!" Yu Xiu didn't get used to it, and kicked it hard, finally making it move.

"Poof!" the thin horse shook his mane, opened his hooves, and immediately galloped forward, pulling up a cloud of smoke.

At this moment, Yu Xiu couldn't sit steadily on his back and almost fell off. His face turned pale, and he quickly grabbed the reins and clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs.

"Yu Yu!" the thin horse suddenly neighed a few more times, slowed down his speed, and continued to tick and tick, and jumped from time to time, snorting happily.

Yu Xiu was startled for a moment, and he didn't have time to care about the movements of the thin horse. He stiffened his face, turned his head to look around, and found that there was no one on the road, and his heart was much more relieved.

Yu Xiu looked at the thin horse sitting down, and no longer urged it to run wildly, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and his finger reins were clenched very tightly.

Finally walked to the front of the store, the door was wide open, and as soon as Yu Xiu turned over and dismounted, a guy came out to lead the rope for him.

"Guest officer. Hey, it's a hero!" Yu Xiu was carrying a sword, and the hotel guy recognized him, and hurriedly said, "Hero, please! BMW will be handed over to me first, and I will definitely help you take care of it, rest assured!"

When Yu Xiu heard it, he paused, and threw down a sentence: "You don't have to take care of it too well." Then he walked to the store with his hands behind his back.

When the innkeeper heard this, he was a little stunned, and led the horse to the backyard for some reason.

"Guest officer, strong man!" Walking into the store, the shopkeeper in front of the counter was also shocked when he saw Yu Xiu, and hurriedly greeted him.

Although I ate some tea in the county, it was also delayed for some time, plus along the way, about two hours, Yu Xiu was a little hungry.

He made a gesture and said, "Trouble the shopkeeper to serve a few dishes, come and sit together, and ask each other if you have something to do." ”

"Very good! very good!" the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted, and the two sat alone at a table by the window. After a few words, the kitchen served a few hard dishes, and even beef!

Yu Xiu was surprised that this store could continue to open, but when he saw the beef in front of him, his doubts disappeared.

Ploughing cattle is the life of the peasants and the treasure of the government, and they cannot be killed unless they are crippled or old, and even if they are killed, they must be recorded in the yamen.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper in front of him is not an ordinary store. Thinking about the night of the corpse mutation, dozens of strong men gathered in front of the store, which further proved that he had a background.

The shopkeeper has a background and may know more things, so Yu Xiu immediately started talking to the other party. chatted carefully, because the shopkeeper was rescued by Yu Xiu, and seeing that Yu Xiu was extraordinary, it was also a song to welcome, and he knew everything and said everything.

"Rotten Temple?" Yu Xiu saw the shopkeeper say, and his fingers dipped in wine and wrote two words on the table. But the shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's 'Nanren'." This temple is in the south of the county, widely cultivates the benevolent law, can send the son to pray for blessings, quite effective. ”

"When people in the neighborhood get married, they will invite the monks inside. Even the eldest lord of the county town took his wife and concubine to worship once, and later sent someone to send a plaque. ”

Yu Xiu took a peanut, put it in his mouth, and nodded thoughtfully.
