The water flows eight thousand feet, with weeping willows on both sides, curved stone bridges, and mandarin ducks playing with river shrimps. The scattered fireworks are vaguely from other people.
In the pavilion is a beautiful lady, and on the side is a young master and a young master. They have two wonderful pens, and they have all their talents, just for the beauty.
After having enough time in the city, Chu An left Wuyang City and walked along the river. After walking for a mile or two, he could see how many families lived on both sides of the river.
As they approached, they saw a rough man sitting on a bench, holding a big knife and making a clanging sound on the grindstone. He muttered in his mouth: "You don't eat good food, you don't drink from mountain springs, you are as thin as firewood, you are hunched over even with half a load, and no one asks for a good price! I might as well make you a meal, braised with old wine, delicious Several days.”
There was a horse tied under a big tree not far from the man. The horse was very tall, nearly a foot taller than the war horses in the army, but it was very thin. After removing the fur, there were probably only some bones and guts left!
Chu An, who was just a passerby, heard the man's words clearly and saw clearly that this thin horse was going to become a side dish. Of course, everything has nothing to do with him. Naturally, he eats what he deserves and kills what he deserves.
But just as they passed the land less than five feet away from the man's house, the horse started to howl. It sounded as if the horse knew that its owner was going to kill it today and cook its meat to drink old wine. That's why I called out to lure Chu An to save its life.
Chu An, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, suddenly had an idea and turned around and walked towards the man with a smile on his face.
As he approached, Chu An stopped and said, "Brother, I heard my brother complain just now. It's because this horse doesn't eat grass, so it's so thin, so it can't be sold at a good price, right?"
The man stopped what he was doing, raised his head and didn't reply. He just looked at Chu An carefully. He felt that the man in front of him was majestic. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person.
She is dressed in black clothes and has a pair of eyes that are so narrow and deep.
The man stood up, bowed to Chu An and said, "Young Master has a good hearing. I just complained softly, but I didn't expect that Young Master can understand clearly just passing by."
Chu An returned the favor.
He said: "I just happened to be close enough to hear what my brother said clearly."
Then Chu An added: "Brother, I'm afraid this horse is old and doesn't like to eat! Or is it overworked and sick?"
Hearing Chu An's question, the man hurriedly explained: "Young master, I don't know something. I only took this horse over from a friend in the city in the spring of last year. I just lost my milk teeth this year, so I don't dare to put heavy weight on it."
The man sighed and said: "I think it's probably sick. If you don't kill it now, keeping it will only make it suffer! Moreover, wait until it dies before eating its meat. No matter how good your cooking skills are, the fragrance will be reduced." Half. Killing it now, one can help it escape. If there is a next life, it may be reincarnated into a human body. The meat of these two should also be much better, and if it is paired with old wine, I will feel more comfortable eating it!"
Chu An frowned and replied: "Now that I have decided to kill, I have nothing to say! It's just that I see this horse is tall and fall in love with it. I don't know if I can be happy and become a beautiful man." The horse is sold to my younger brother."
After saying that, Chu An took out the only mortal object he owned and handed it to the man.
"I'm going out in a hurry this time and I didn't bring enough money! I think this is the only pearl I have on me that is worth some money. If I don't mind it, how about we trade the pearls for horses?"
The beads in Chu An's hand were as big as eggs. Transparent and round, the center of the pearl is still vaguely flashing with white light. The man is not stupid, he naturally knows the goods and knows that the bead in front of him is a treasure.
"Young master, are you really willing to exchange this night pearl with me?" The man's eyes shone, and his words were filled with excitement.
"Seriously." Chu An just smiled softly.
"Okay, sir, don't regret it." After saying that, the man reached out and took the night-light pearl from Chu An's hand.
Then he said with a silly smile: "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich..."
"Brother, are you watching carefully? If there is nothing strange, I will lead the horse and leave." Chu An looked at the man and asked.
The man just held the luminous pearl in his sly hands and said without looking at Chu An: "No difference, no difference. If you want to hold it, just hold it." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards home. The door was closed and the door latch was locked. Come on, it doesn’t matter whether your prince ascends to heaven or not.
Chu An smiled helplessly, then walked to the tree, untied the rope, and led the skinny horse slowly along the riverside path.
By the time we rested again, we had already traveled ten miles. Chu An looked back at the horse, whose shoulders were almost as tall as him, and said to himself: "You said you are not very young, so why can't you eat or drink, and are you waiting to die?"
Seeing that the horse ignored him, Chu An remembered something and laughed: "You can't understand what I'm saying...that's all, I'll give you something! Anyway, you have to pay me back slowly in the future."
After speaking, Chu An gently pulled the reins with one hand, and the horse's head lowered without any resistance. Then Chu An just tapped his finger on the center of Shou Ma's head, and a burst of spiritual power instantly poured into Shou Ma's body.
"It's fate, I'll give you some good fortune! Tell me, why are you seeking death without eating or drinking?"
The horse suddenly neighed and screamed, looking a bit manic.
"He...he..." The horse actually uttered vague human words.
Thinking about it, Chu An must have opened its mind.
Suddenly I saw the horse kneeling on its front legs and its hind legs half bent!
"Thank you...Thank you...Master...for saving me~"
"Don't thank me. Get up and talk. You don't look like you're kneeling, and you don't look like you're lying down. It looks awkward."
The horse answered: "Yes..."
Wait until the horse stands upright.
"Tell me the question I just asked you."
"Yes Master."
Then the horse said: "He doesn't let me carry heavy things on weekdays, and he gives me enough food! It's just that he is addicted to alcohol. Whenever he is drunk, he will serve him with sticks and whips. He was born as an animal, how dare he resist his master? , I can’t escape! Under such humiliation, I can only escape from the sea of suffering by starving myself to death.”
After listening to the horse's statement, Chu An didn't ask any more questions. He just waved his hand and took a bottle of elixir in his hand.
After pouring all the pills into the palm of his hand, he threw away the empty bottle.
"Open your mouth,"
The horse was also sensible and opened its mouth when it was told.
Chu An stuffed all the pills into the horse's mouth.
"Take it quickly, otherwise the medicine won't be as effective if it's too late."
When the horse heard this, he quickly swallowed it all.
After a few breaths, the thin horse felt warm all over its body. A pair of warm hands seemed to be soothing its soul and reshaping its body. It was so comfortable that it closed its eyes and sank into this situation.
After half a cup of tea, the remaining warmth faded away, and the horse's appearance completely changed. The body that was just skinny just now has now become fat and strong! Moreover, the hair is as shiny as jade, and the eyes also reveal a noble and elegant look!
Chu An just patted the horse's big face, looked at the horse and said: "It's done, not bad! It's barely enough. From now on, you can call me Gouju. You have a name so that I can call you in the future."
When Gouju heard that he had a name, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Master."
It thanks Chu An for giving it a new life, and also thanks Chu An for giving it a name.
