After being scolded by her master, Xue Liu lowered her eyes with a shy expression on her face. The old master sighed, took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to them.

"This is the dozens of taels of silver I have saved, which can be used as your travel expenses to Qinghai this time. The first thing you have to do now is to buy a horse! Although I don't know much about horses, there is something I want to tell you. , people often say that the speed of a horse's legs is a trivial matter. The key is that the horse must be in harmony with the owner's temperament, so that it can accompany it for a long time and reach the destination. You will be most comfortable and safest when you ride it."

Xue Liu took the silver coin sent by her master and slowly kicked it into her arms. Then he turned around and pulled Li Kaiyang's sleeve and said:

"Without further ado, let's go now! According to this, I heard that there is a horse market a few miles away. There are many good and good horses there. I heard that there are also military horses. Some people even bought them from that market. We’ve spent a lot of time and effort. Let’s go and broaden our horizons!”

After all, Xueliu's Buddha nature is difficult to transform. Although she has escaped into Buddhism, her secular spirit has not diminished.

It sounds like it's only a few miles away, but it's really not that close to walk. The town with the horse market is called Majiaji.

The two of them walked and talked along the way. Xue Liu completely recovered, revealing her true nature as a young girl.

"Did you think about me after I left?"

To be honest, Li Kaiyang felt very embarrassed when he heard it. If you answer that you have never thought about it, it will hurt the other person's heart. If you answer that you miss it often, it will be against your own will.

There is only one person that Li Kaiyang misses the most, and that is Gu Xueying. No one can replace Gu Xueying's place in Li Kaiyang's heart. Even the little girl Xue Liu in front of him only occasionally passed through his mind and did not occupy much of a place in his heart.

In any case, Li Kaiyang felt that he could not hurt Xue Liu's feelings. Even if he did not have a dream, he still had to answer to make her very happy.

"I often think of you and little master Yiqing. I always hope to have the opportunity to come back to see you, and more importantly, to rescue little master Yiqing. Today I finally got my wish. Thank you very much for accompanying me to that place. Adventures in faraway places. ”

Xue Liu seemed a little unhappy:

"Hey, do you like me or Na Yiqing?"

There is a saying that kindness is hard to deny, and Xue Liu has a bit of this character. She may have forgotten the fact that she has become a nun.

No matter what, Li Kaiyang always had his own plans in mind. There were too many women who passed by him, but no one could replace Gu Xueying's position.

So he smiled at Xue Liu and said:

"It's hard to tell. If you ask me who I like more, how should I answer? I treat you as friends. You have all been kind to me, so in my heart, we treat everyone equally."

"Equal treatment!"

Xue Liu's eyes widened at that moment, and the anger in her heart was uncontrollable. Raise your eyebrows and clenched your silver teeth. Zhu Chun trembled slightly. Li Kaiyang looked carefully at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. Her white and red face showed a sincere, pure and slightly angry expression.

"You know I miss you day and night. Do you understand why I became a monk? Without you by my side, what hope do I have in living? Today you are finally back, but I am not in your heart."

Li Kaiyang said in his heart:

"What's so good about me? Am I worthy of so many women falling in love with me?"

Then he smiled bitterly and said to Xue Liu:

"I will be kind to everyone who passes through my life, including you. We have been in trouble together, and you have helped me. I have feelings for you, but this feeling cannot become love. You She is my good sister, good sister, and I am your good brother, good brother. I hope we can get along with this kind of emotion in the future."

Xue Liu bit her lips tightly and stood in the rustling autumn wind. Her expression was silent, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed infinite despair and sadness.

"Forget it, it seems that everything is my own fault. In fact, you don't belong to our world in the first place. Ever since I saw you, I have had a lingering shadow of you in my heart. Maybe meeting each other is just a dream. It’s a mistake, it’s just that I’m not awake yet.”

As she spoke, Xue Liu flicked out a blue light bomb with her fingers. She flicked the light bomb away with her finger and landed on a tree in the distance. The leaves fell one after another, showing the power of this light bomb. It's really not small. I remember that when Li Kaiyang and Xue Liu met for the first time, she also showed such a trick.

Now seeing her performing her old tricks again, Li Kaiyang felt extremely cordial and excited.

"Are you still in contact with the dark devil now?"

Xue Liuyou shook his head and said:

"I know he is not a good person, so I haven't seen him for a long time, and he has never looked for me."

Li Kaiyang was very satisfied with Xue Liu's performance, nodded excitedly and said:

"I knew you were a good girl and would definitely draw a clear line with him. The Black Devil is not someone to be trifled with. This man is too sinister. He has done many unscrupulous things. Sooner or later, I will eradicate him. , avenge my mother, avenge many, many people."

Xue Liu frowned and asked:

"Can you tell me about any bloody feud between you and him?"

Li Kaiyang felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this past incident, so he didn't want to describe what happened. Because every memory is a journey of hard struggle.

"In short, it was the black devil who killed my mother. I don't want to recall the past, nor do I want to be immersed in the pain of the past again. I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to repeat it to you again."

At this time, Xue Liu suddenly took his hand. Her hands were so warm and lubricated.

"I didn't know you had such a history, I'm sorry, did I make you sad Kaiyang."

"No, no, how could you make me sad? You are very good, a very pure and kind girl."

"It's a pity that I, a girl, will no longer be a girl. I have become a nun and have no emotional entanglements in the future. So you can just listen to what I just said. Qian Qingyun. Don’t take it personally.”

Li Kaiyang nodded, looking at this kind girl speechless. The two of them walked slowly to the lively market. He asked the people around him and found out that this was Majiaji. If he walked a short distance further, he would reach the livestock market.

As they were walking forward, suddenly a drunk man stumbled towards them. Li Kaiyang and Xue Liu wanted to avoid him, but unexpectedly, he suddenly bumped into Xue Liu's body.

Fortunately, the little nun was able to react quickly. She rotated her body [-] degrees and successfully avoided the impact of the man.

Li Kaiyang walked over and wanted to teach this guy a lesson. But after looking at his cloudy eyes, I felt that there was no need to be acquainted with such a person.

"I told you, brother, please pay attention when you walk, okay? How many innocent people will be injured if you run rampant like you?"

The man said "hehe", laughed twice, didn't answer, and walked away.

When they arrived at the livestock market, they saw livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep everywhere. There was no sign of horses, and it was simply out of their imagination to think of a high-end sweat-blooded horse.

There were many people leaving the market in groups, leading the cattle, sheep and donkeys they had bought.

Li Kaiyang and Xue Liu walked around but couldn't find a horse. Finally, Xue Liu stomped her feet angrily.

She asked a fellow at the market:

"Donor, why is no one selling horses at the livestock market today?"

The old man smiled and shook his hand and said:

"No one has sold horses here for a long time. You also know that nowadays there is a chaos of war. All the horses have been taken to the battlefield. There are no horses for sale in the market. If you want to buy a horse, you have to buy a donkey, cow or You can also buy a camel."

Li Kaiyang thought that it would take even a month for horses to travel such a long road, let alone livestock such as donkeys and cattle, let alone camels. They are only suitable for walking in the desert, and the route to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not suitable for camels at all.

What to do without a horse? Li Kaiyang was simply anxious. At this time, a person passed by and said in a noisy voice:

"The big black horses in Wang Yuan's family are really exciting, and their hair looks like black jokes."

Another man sang along with him and said:

"It's a pity that they won't sell it for any amount of money. Otherwise, I might as well buy one and use it as a legworker."

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was interested. Li Kaiyang grabbed the speaker and asked excitedly:

"Where does Mr. Wang's wife live that you mentioned? Take us there and we will give you money!"

The man felt that Li Kaiyang's words were a bit rude and tried hard to break free from his hand, but he refused! Unexpectedly, Li Kaiyang's hand grabbed his arm like an iron hook. It was too difficult for him to break free.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do? Why are you catching me? "

"Brother, I have something to ask you. Can you take us to Yuan Wang's wife's house?"

"Are you asking for help like this? My arm is almost broken by you. Just let go!"

The man grimaced in pain and couldn't stand it any longer. But Li Kaiyang still didn't let go of his arm. He knew very well that once he let this person go, it would be difficult to find the family with the horse.

In the end, the man couldn't get away and had to agree:

"Okay, okay, okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you! I will take you there, but I don't dare to say whether the horse will be sold or not. I will only guide you and bring you there and then come back."

Li Kaiyang patted him on the shoulder and said, don't worry, we will never make things difficult for you. As long as you take us to that place, we will let you go, and we will also give you a certain reward. "

"This, this, this, you can't force yourself to do it! Okay, okay, I'll go with you! It's just that his home is a bit far away from here. Should we go on foot or hire a sedan?"

Li Kaiyang glanced at Xue Liu, meaning to ask her, can we afford this money?

Xue Liu Wan'er smiled and said:

"Let's go, just as he said, let's hire three small sedans and get the matter done as soon as possible."

Li Kaiyang thought about it. He could only hire three small sedan chairs. Otherwise, two people couldn't be squeezed together. Others could do it. The main thing is how the sedan bearer can bear it.

Although it is not easy to buy this horse, it is very simple to hire a few bearers.

Soon they found three small sedan chairs and promised them two taels of silver for each sedan chair. Then the three people got on the sedan respectively, with Li Kaiyang at the back, Miss Xueliu at the front, and the person leading the way in the middle. He directed the people in front of him to adjust the direction in the sedan chair.

This was the first time in Li Kaiyang's life that he had sat in a sedan chair, and it felt extremely comfortable. Li Kaiyang saw that the two bearers were about fifty years old and skinny. They were still doing such a backbreaking job, which was really heartbreaking. He opened the sedan curtain and asked the bearer.

"Brother, are you tired? Why do you still do such heavy physical work at your age?"

One of them said:

"Tired, how could you not be tired? But in order to earn a living and have food to eat, you have to endure it no matter how tired you are. Fortunately, your errand is not too far, and the road is not too far. It will go quickly. You can rest when you get to the place.”

Li Kaiyang felt a surge of bitterness in his heart as he listened to their words. But this is the true nature of life. Only through your own hard work and hard work can you obtain the capital for survival.

Li Kaiyang swung the sedan curtain and leaned back on the sedan seat. Close your eyes and feel the various flavors of life.

The guide in the sedan chair in front gave instructions from time to time, and soon the sedan stopped. Li Kaiyang thought he had reached his destination.

But what he didn't expect was that the three sedans actually stopped on a desolate hillside.

Xue Liu ran off the sedan, opened Li Kaiyang's sedan curtain and asked:

"Li Kaiyang, the person who led the way ran away, do you know?"

"What! Why did he run?"

At this time, the bearers came over, and one of them said angrily:

"Hurry up and get on the sedan. Let's get out of here quickly. Do you know where he brought you? There is no king here. I heard that there are bandits everywhere here. We have entered a den of thieves. Hurry up. Run! Run! Before they find us."

Li Kaiyang was so shocked that he had no choice but to follow the sedan bearers back the same way. At this moment, he didn't want to sit in the sedan anymore. He was running for his life in order to save his two eldest brothers energy. And what about Xueliu? It's better to let her sit on the sedan and retreat faster.

The group had just walked a few steps when suddenly a person in front stood up and blocked the way. Li Kaiyang recognized this person at a glance as the drunkard who hit them.

"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass by this place, I will leave money to buy the road."

While speaking, he pulled out a steel knife from his waist. Li Kaiyang’s inner words:

These days, no matter what the world is like, this has to be experienced. I never thought I would meet a robber again in my life.

He stood up in front of everyone and asked:

"Hey, big brother, we seem to have met before!"

"What, I have no impression."

Li Kaiyang understood that he had fallen into this kid's trap.

"You have no impression. Aren't you the one who bumped into us on the street?"
