When Xiaoxi saw Sun for the first time, he was surprised by his dress, like a market vendor who moved with his family, probably so poor that he was reluctant to throw away a stone tablet.

Xiao Xi originally wanted to refuse, because Chu Jingguo really didn't want to go, not to mention that there was a Yuan Linyuan!

The master has been holding Xiao Sunzhi's hand, he knows that Xiao Xi is leaving, and he must leave with that bamboo slip. "King Ximing promised to wait for three years, but if he knew that you were in Ximing Kingdom at this time, no one would be able to send someone to arrest you back. ”

The meaning is so obvious that I almost didn't say it directly.

Xiao Xi looked at the master with a sneer, he didn't understand how a scholar who seemed to be kind and kind-hearted learned to "threaten" this trick, it was not written in the sage book?

This old man who reads is not simple, Yuan Linyuan is like this, and so is the master, the way of the world......

The master handed Sun Zhi's little hand into Xiao Xi's hands, "I will hand over this child to you, you have to send him back to Chu Jing Kingdom unscathed in order to live up to my trust!"

After the master finished explaining, he turned around and left, but before that, he quietly gave Sun Zhi a lot of money, Sun Zhi didn't want it at first, but the master didn't know what to say in his ear, so he accepted it with a smile.

Xiao Sun Zhi looked at the back of the master and looked deep into the ground, and unconsciously wiped away the tears on his cheeks when he got up.

He probably understood what the Master said in his ear, "People can't always do things smoothly in life, and things will not always be smooth sailing, and many times the suffering is so that you can understand the value of the plain in the future, and the help given by others in times of difficulty should be generously accepted rather than ruthlessly refused." He thought that all the hardships that life had given him now might make him suddenly clear at some point in the future, and all problems would be turned around.

Xiaoxi agreed to this matter not only because of the master's "threat", but also because of Nie Xiao's matter, he owed the master a great favor, although this favor should be counted on Nie Xiao's head, but now he can only pay it back for Nie Xiao first.

On such a long way to Chu Jingguo, of course, you can't go bare-legged, not to mention that this kid also carries such a large stone tablet. So he was ruthless and finally led Xiao Sun Zhi to buy an ox cart, the ox cart was dilapidated but it was very sturdy after trying, and it should be able to cope with this long journey.

The boss offered two hundred copper coins, and Xiaoxi spent it

A pillar of incense work, and the seller said that he wanted to bargain for 150 copper coins. During this period, he quoted scriptures, cited from the side, and applied both soft and hard to make the matter of "bargaining" like a dispute between teachers and students, and Xiao Sun Zhi on the side was full of shock and couldn't help but feel admiration. 【# ... ¥ Better Updates Faster]

The person who sold the ox cart was a banker, who looked like an honest man and was clumsy, and often Xiao Xi said five or six sentences before he said a word. But this man is simple and simple, and he is serious when he recognizes the reason for death, and he does not let go even if he consumes a pillar of incense with Xiaoxi.

It turns out that how much you read has little to do with whether you are good at bargaining. Xiao Xi thought to himself that two hundred is two hundred, and this car can be worth this price.

One of the little grandsons pulled his hand towards the farmer, with an innocent smile on his face, "Uncle, we are going to Chu Jingguo, far away! I'm afraid that the road will not be enough, so I have been grinding with you for a long time......

The man sighed and asked, "What are you doing in Chu Jingguo?" As he spoke, his eyes wandered over the two of them, seeing that this dress did not look like a rich man, and then looking at the child's dress, it looked like he was going out of the house.

As soon as Xiao Sun Zhi told the man about his grandfather's last wishes, the man let go of Xiao Sun Zhi's hand, took out the cigarette stick inserted in his waist, squatted beside the ox cart, and smoked two puffs of dry tobacco.

The smoke enveloped his entire face, and it was impossible to see his face, but he could vaguely feel that he was making up his mind to make an important decision.

"Mom, it's a big deal to go home and be scolded by that mother-in-law again. ”

The man put away his cigarette stick, pestle it on the ground, and got up again: "One hundred and five is one hundred and five." ”

Xiao Sun Zhi saluted the man: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly took out the money with a smile on his face, but there were only one hundred and forty-eight copper coins in his pocket, and there were only two copper coins in his pocket.

Xiao Sun Zhi quietly pulled Xiao Xi's sleeve, spread out two copper coins in his hand and motioned him to take it, but Xiao Xi pushed him back with a very secret action.

The man who sold the ox cart was full of bitterness, what kind of bad luck did Lao Tzu have today: "It's just two of you, you have to go home and be scolded anyway." ”

Xiao Xi was unusually at this time: "No, we readers are as much as we say, and we can't treat the sage books we read as!"

The man laughed: "This is in Li'er!" The most important thing

He can understand this sentence, unlike the ones who didn't understand a word just now.

Xiao Xi touched his body up and down again, and took out a piece of jade with a painful look, which was transparent and crystal white like the moon, with a small red dot in the middle, "Although this piece of jade can't be said to be priceless, it must be worth two copper coins!"

The man twisted and pinched and seemed embarrassed to take it, but he heard that Yu was very good at money, but in the end, he accepted it under Xiaoxi's persuasion.

When he pulled the car and walked back, Xiao Sun Zhi was puzzled and asked: "Sage Yun's gentleman compares jade with virtue', uncle, why are you ......?"

"The gentleman said that virtue is better than jade, but can it be compared? Or is it said that if you bring jade with you, you will be virtuous? I think virtue is not a thing that depends on whether you have a piece of jade on your body, but the man who sold the ox cart just now, he is a virtuous person. ”

Xiao Sun Zhi sighed, but jade is very valuable after all!

Xiao Xi laughed and asked him to put the stele in the car, and the two of them just pulled the car and walked back.

When passing by the bull market, Xiao Xi picked an old cow, Xiao Sun Zhi asked him strangely why he bought this old cow, and Xiao Xi told him that it was because the old cow was cheap.

This is a cow, I think it was because I was too old to plow the land, so the owner sold it, and it was originally waiting to be slaughtered, but it was suddenly bought by Xiaoxi.

Therefore, the old scalper is very grateful to his two new owners, so that he can get rid of the fate of being made into braised beef, and he no longer has to work hard to plow the land, and it seems that he will spend the rest of his time with this ox cart.

The old ox obediently stood by the ox cart and waited for the owner to put it on and then pulled the cart away, and it walked very slowly but steadily.

As soon as the sun was about to set, Xiao Xi set up a car to say goodbye to Cui'er and Lao Zhangtou, and bought another sword by the way.

"The sword has the bones of green steel, and the gentleman can wear it to protect his body. ”

In the early morning of the next day, an ox cart slowly moved south on the field in front of the beacon tower, with a few quilts and a stone tablet on it.

That night, the Ximing Kingdom Sleeping Palace.

The tunnel dug by Wu Nan had already been tightly blocked, and King Ximing was lying on a warm and soft couch, holding a painting in his hand, which showed an ox cart and two figures, one large and one small, but they couldn't see their faces.
