The spring rain that drenched and drifted all night did not stop until dawn. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLuo Cheng in the yellow sand is as if it has been cleaned, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

The sun is rising, and the Xingwu field in the north of the city is already full of shouting crowds, a lively and extraordinary scene. This martial arts field covers an area of forty or fifty acres, which is twice as large as the martial arts field of the splendid dart bureau, and was originally the school field where the garrison of the former dynasty pointed out the military exercises, but now the times have changed, but it has become a bazaar for inter-market transactions.

Today is the day when the three major forces of Luocheng jointly held a martial arts exchange meeting, and more than 20 acres of land in the middle of the square have been fenced off, and more than ten rings have been temporarily erected. Vendors from all over the world are surrounded by clothes, ornaments, vegetables, melons and fruits, and special mountain goods.

In the crowd in the northwest corner of the square, Peng Yu and Shi Zhu were looking around with great interest. They have been locked up in the dart game for several months to train, and this kid Shizhu is about to get sick. Peng Yucai also came to Luocheng when he was in this martial arts field, but at that time, he just wanted to find something to eat, how could he be in such a leisurely mood now.

"Brother Yu, come and see this little fox, ghostly. ”

Hearing the stone pillar shouting, Peng Yu also walked over to take a look. I saw a middle-aged hunter in a burlap robe, dark skin, and thick hands and feet squatting in the corner of the wall, leaning against the wall with a gray package and a bow and arrow. In front of him was a small rusty iron cage containing a small fox. The little fox was probably frightened, and its furry body cowered in the corner of the cage, and the thief's eyes were clever and staring around.

In the past, when he was in Shengjing, his father was extremely strict in discipline, and Peng Yu buried his head in the Shenfu compound all day long, and he had never seen such a rare animal.

Peng Yu only felt infinite joy in his heart, and said to the old hunter: "Uncle, your little thing is so cute, can I touch it." ”

"That's not good, this fox is expensive, if anyone comes to touch it, it's terrible that it won't be able to survive. The old Orion had a little embarrassment on his face.

Peng Yu said with some disappointment: "How much silver do you want to sell, uncle?"

"Thirty taels. Old Orion gestured with three fingers.

"Thirty taels! I don't think this thing can be fried for half a bowl if it is killed, and a 100-kilogram pig in my family will be sold for three or four taels of silver. When Shi Zhu heard the price, he was dumbfounded.

Peng Yu also felt a little exaggerated, thirty taels of silver was his own two years' money, but Shizhu's words were too straightforward.

The old hunter didn't care, and patiently explained to Shi Zhu: "Little brother, you are a layman, this thing is not bought to eat, but the son and lady of the rich and noble family buy it as a plaything." A few years ago, I went into the mountains and caught one and sold it for fifty taels of silver. ”

Peng Yu touched his pocket, and there were only twelve taels of silver left. I had to ask a little embarrassed: "Can you be less, I like this little guy a lot, ten taels of silver?"

"Every day I go into the mountains, I can catch some pheasants and wild boars and the like, this fox is not easy to find, and I can only meet it once in four or five years. And it's a ghost, it took me two months to catch this one. Old Orion said with a bitter face.

Seeing that Peng Yu didn't say anything, he just stared at the little fox with affection.

The old hunter rubbed his rough hands before he hesitated: "The old man sees that you are also kind-faced, so I will give you ten taels less, and I won't sell it for a penny." The market has just opened, and it may be sold for thirty taels in a little while. ”

Shi Zhu said with disdain on his face: "Who buys you for twenty taels of silver." Let's go, Brother Yu, let's take a look at the front. ”

After speaking, he urged Peng Yu to walk forward, Peng Yu walked a few steps, still a little unwilling. When I looked back, I saw that the little fox's eyes were still looking at him pitifully, as if he had been stabbed by something for no reason, but he couldn't bear to leave this little guy here.

Peng Yu, the child, gritted his teeth fiercely, anyway, he doesn't need to spend money now, and it's useless to keep the silver, it's better to save his life, and he can have a companion when he is bored in the future.

Pulling the pillar back, he asked, "How much silver did you bring with you?"

"Ten taels, I went home and gave my father two taels, and then I lost two taels in the gambling cricket, and there were only ten taels left. The stone pillar was a little inexplicable, and Peng Yu suddenly asked him what he was doing with the silver.

After a while, he reacted and said: "Brother Yu, you don't really want to buy that little fox, it's crazy, I really want to raise it and wait for the next time I go home and pick up a little piglet to raise it for you, that is also very cute......"

"I just like that little fox, I don't like raising pigs very much. Lend me eight taels, and I'll pay you back when I get paid. ”

The two argued in the crowd for a while, and Shi Zhu finally didn't resist Peng Yu and obediently handed over the eight taels of silver.

The old hunter took the silver handed over by Peng Yu, and said with a happy smile: "Little brother, you really have a vision, this time you have taken a big advantage." ”

Peng Yu felt a pain in his flesh, and he even spent the next few months of silver with him. But when I lifted the rusty iron cage and looked at the fluffy little guy inside, I felt that the money was too well spent.

Just as he was about to step away, he felt someone pull his sleeve, and when he looked back, he saw four or five people following him. The leader was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a black robe embroidered with green stripes, with a sturdy figure and a majestic spirit. The three people in the back were dressed in ordinary gray cloth shirts, obviously just ordinary attendants.

The one who pulled her sleeve was an eight or nine-year-old girl, wearing a snow-white mink short jacket with a pleated skirt, with bright eyes and teeth, a face like congealed cream, and two updos combed on her head, looking innocent and cute. was staring at the little fox in the cage, and said with a new face: "Hey, where did you buy that little thing, I will also buy one." ”

Peng Yu was a little puzzled, and stretched out his finger and pointed at the old hunter who was packing up his baggage.

"Hey, old man, do you have any creature like you? The girl ran over again and asked.

The old hunter grinned and said, "The old man also caught that one, isn't this sold to this little brother?" ”

"Brother, go buy one for me, I want it too. The girl's mouth flattened, and she pulled the sleeve of the young man in a gorgeous costume dejectedly and said coquettishly.

The young man in the fancy costume was obviously very doting on his lovely sister, and gently touched the girl's head and said, "Okay, good, brother, I'll buy it for you." ”

He immediately walked towards Peng Yu and asked in a stiff tone, "How much did this fox buy Brother Tai?" ”

"Twenty taels of silver. ”

"It's a hundred taels, and I bought it. The young man in Chinese clothes was probably used to being arrogant at home, and took a silver ticket from his waist with his left hand and handed it to Peng Yu.

Peng Yu stepped back, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Brother Ren, I also bought and raised my brother, not for sale." ”

The young man in Chinese clothes was just about to speak, but a monkey-cheeked retinue from behind him followed and whispered a few words in the young man's ear.

The stiff expression on the face of the young man in Chinese clothes relaxed a little, and he took out a silver ticket and handed it over: "Oh, it turned out to be the brother of the splendid dart game, then add another hundred taels, which is also my sister's favorite, and I hope that the brother will give me face." ”

The stone pillar next to him was already in a hurry, and secretly pinched Peng Yu's back a few times, signaling him to quickly take the silver. But Peng Yu's bullish energy came up, and he couldn't pull it.

"I also like this little fox brother, you can go to the market to take a look. ”

"Don't be ashamed, don't think that I won't dare to touch you if you're a member of the Splendid Dart Bureau, don't forget that Luo Cheng is still the territory of our Qinglong Hall. You have to sell two hundred taels of silver, and if you don't sell it, you have to sell it!" The young man was an impatient person, and when he didn't say a word, he said with a blue face, and reached out to grab the cage in Peng Yu's hand.

"I won't sell it, see what you can do with me?" Peng Yu put the cage behind his back, and his body was forced to top up. Originally, I thought that if the other party could still say a few words, plus a few hundred taels of silver, I would endure the pain of cutting my love once. I didn't think that the other party wanted to be tough with him, and now he can't stand being bullied.

The two were about to make a move, when a drum beat that resounded through the sky sounded in unison, and several people were already standing in the main ring in the center of the Xingwu Arena, and the martial arts meeting was about to start.

"Boy, I remember you, and there will be a chance to clean you up in the future. The young man in the costume glared at Peng Yu fiercely, and pulled the girl with a sad face and walked towards the center of the Xingwu Field.
