"Taoist priest, what were you talking to that man just now?"
"He stole my money."
"Huh? Huh?"
The little girl stopped and stopped walking.
Looking at it like that, it seems like he wants to snatch it back.
"I have asked him to come back."
"Bite him to death."
"People can't do this."
"Beat to death."
"This is not a matter of biting or beating her to death." Song You touched her head. With her height, she could reach out and touch her head, which was just right. "No matter how big a mistake you make, how big a punishment you receive, you can't accuse others of stealing." If you get some money from you, you'll beat him to death, that's not in line with human rules."
"oh."
The girl nodded, thoughtfully.
Just when Song You thought she understood something and might have gained something, she stretched out her hand and asked herself:
"Are you going to take the elixir?"
"What?"
"Elixir."
"?"
Song You was puzzled.
Looking down -
The small hand, the white and tender palm, is extremely beautiful. In the middle lies a small ball, a very small ball.
The girl looked up and stared at him, with a fair face and a serious expression.
"What's this?"
"Elixir!"
The girl seemed convinced of this.
"Where did it come from?"
"found."
"Where did you find it?"
"In the nose."
"..."
Song You was speechless for a moment.
And the girl is still urging:
"Are you going to eat or not?"
"Don't eat."
"Why?"
"Don't look for this kind of elixir again."
"If you don't eat, I will!"
"Snapped……"
"Huh? How did you knock off my elixir?"
"Don't eat this again."
The two figures, one large and one small, moved further and further away.
After searching around, I finally found the Luoma Market.
As the name suggests, mules, horses and donkeys are mainly traded here.
As soon as you enter, there is a smell of feces.
There were many people bargaining, some reaching into their sleeves to touch their hands, and some talking normally. Many people from the world also came here to choose a favorite horse.
Horse-telling is a technical job, and a good horse matches a hero. If someone chooses a good horse, he will be more powerful than a tiger. If the horse is chosen by a hero, he can also get some glory. However, horses with thousands of miles are hard to find, and heroes are rare. But if a horse happens to meet a hero, they will achieve mutual success. Who will write a biography or something in the future, it is impossible for both of them to leave their names in history.
Song You is not a good horse sage, but he also has his own way of choosing.
It's just that he didn't plan to buy it today. Buying a horse these days is like buying a car, and mules aren't much cheaper. Even a wealthy family must be cautious and not hasty.
"Ms. Sanhua, please remember to follow me closely. There are too many people in the world here. Don't let anyone abduct you."
"oh."
Sanhua Empress's eyes had already been attracted by the big horses and mules on the roadside, and she didn't know if she heard what he said. Song You thought she probably didn't hear it. The little kitten was staggering even when walking.
Song You had no choice but to hold her hand.
One big and one small watched while walking.
Yidu is an important node in the tea and horse trade. Most of the horses here are horses from the southwest. They are short in size. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are not much bigger than some large donkeys.
But there are no bad horses in this world.
Each has its own use.
Even the Southwest horse, which is often regarded as a bad horse, has no other horse breed that can match it when it comes to walking on mountain roads.
It's just that horses are expensive, require intensive feeding and cleaning, the cost of raising them is high, and the price of good horses is also high. The only advantages are that they are good at running and have a handsome appearance. But when there is not much running on long-distance travel, its advantage of strong explosive power seems to be of little use, and the price-performance ratio is not high.
Unless you can buy Bei Yuanma.
The Bei Yuan horse lives in the northern plateau under harsh conditions, so it has extremely strong skin, is resistant to cold and heat, tolerates rough feeding, and has strong endurance. Although this horse is neither tall nor explosive, it has always been the most commonly used military horse breed in the Dayan court and is rarely seen on the market.
Donkeys are just the opposite.
It is resistant to rough feeding, has strong endurance, and has high service value.
Riding donkeys is popular among literati these days. It is an elegant thing. A few years ago, the prime minister of the dynasty rode a donkey to the court to show off that he was a noble scholar. It was also very popular for Taoists to ride donkeys, which gave them an air of immortality.
The mule is right in the middle, drawing on the best of both.
However, there are two types of mules, donkey mules and horse mules.
Comparing the two, donkeys and mules are closer to donkeys in body shape, strength and habits. Their skins are stronger and can withstand rough feeding, and they are shorter. Horses and mules are closer to horses in size, taller, and even as powerful as horses. The price of good horses and mules is no cheaper than a horse. Both have more service value than donkeys, and their hides are more durable than horses.
From this point of view, it seems that a mule is a better choice.
However, recently the emperor seems to have plans to use troops in the north. Horses and mules are important military supplies. It is said that the government has bought a large number of horses and mules before the temple fair opens. This not only makes the number of horses and mules in the temple fair mule market Prices have soared, and a southwest horse can easily cost more than 20 bucks, and almost all the good ones have been chosen away, leaving some not so good ones, which are still being scolded and fought over by people in the world.
Song You made a selection, but really couldn't find anything he liked.
"Aren't we going to buy it yet?"
"Nothing to my liking."
"Miss Sanhua, please tell me to get up early!"
"It is my fault."
"Everyone else is buying..." Sanhua Empress pointed at a man leading a horse and mule, "That person has already bought it!"
"Not urgent."
Song You planned to look at them for two more days, but couldn't find a suitable one, so he bought a small donkey and led the donkey around the world, thinking that it would be a pleasure.
A few poems about riding a donkey have come to mind.
It was almost dusk now.
After a day of visiting temple fairs, how could you not go to the Yuewang Temple to burn incense sticks? It just so happened that there were fewer people at this time.
Song You took Sanhua Empress to the temple.
There is still a couplet in front of the door.
What is written is:
You seek fame and fortune, but he predicts good and bad luck. I am so heartless, so how can I come up with any ideas?
The palace is filled with smoke and clouds, and the halls are lined with bells and cauldrons. It makes people laugh at the offering of mud and wood, but a lot of money has been wasted.
I heard from Luo Baotou that the couplet was not like this in the past. It was changed to this after King Yue came to him in a dream one day. From this point of view, maybe Shenjun is really from Yizhou, at least this free and easy spirit of not caring about anything is common among Yizhou people.
One big and one small stepped into the temple.
There was a divine king inside, with a strong back and strong waist, colorful divine clothes, a righteous face, a big horse and a golden sword, sitting on the altar, glaring at everyone who walked in.
As soon as Sanhua Empress stepped in, a light flashed in the statue's eyes, which made Sanhua Empress tremble all over. Then she quickly stopped and looked at Song You, with a little loss on her face.
Fortunately, the light went out again in the blink of an eye, and not many people saw it.
"The Lord God is here."
Song You touched Sanhua Empress's head and came forward to salute her. As if she had seen her before, he immediately lit incense and offered her to her.
It was his habit to offer incense at every temple, and he had nothing to do, not that he had much respect for the gods in the temple. Master often said that he relied on his peerless talent and Taoism to become godless. Maybe that was true, but she also often said that real ancient monks should look at gods from another angle. So Song You is not disrespecting gods, but just being like ordinary people. The point of respect is different.
The green smoke of incense sticks curls up, and the candlelight flickers.
After Song You offered the incense, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he stopped, looked at the statue in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the Lord is here, have you ever seen Xiaoxiao committing a crime outside?"
The statue's eyes flashed again.
"You're brave."
Song You strode out, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
This is the happiest thing I have ever done.
Every step outside the temple, the sky gets darker.
The temple fair was no less deserted at night than during the day, and countless talented people and beauties came out to play with lanterns and walked through the lantern riddle gallery. The beautiful woman secretly glanced at the talented man, and the talented man also secretly glanced at the beautiful woman. If the fate is slightly better, it will be like the story of Yi An.
Song You only hangs out at the night market for snacks.
A few skewers of barbecued meat, a bowl of mutton in a basin, and a juicy fire persimmon. It is a northern style that is difficult to eat in ordinary times. The taste is not bad even if it is better than that of later generations. That’s today’s dinner.
Song You likes this feeling.
I like this feeling of being no worse than future generations.
“Herbal medicine works well!
"Skinny people can gain weight if they eat it! When they urinate, they can reach a height of eight feet!"
"Everyone wants to ask how to eat it? It can be soaked in wine with wine, soaked in urine without wine, or chewed dry."
A group of people were attracted to him and gathered around him.
Song You smiled again.
This one hasn't finished his work yet.
