He raised his head and glared at Lao Li who was gloating about his misfortune, stretched out his arms and was about to pounce on me: "You stole my money, you pay me back! You pay me back my money!"
He was caught off guard, and before he could tackle Lao Li, his foot slipped and he fell down.
"Ouch! My butt hurts so much!"
He opened his eyes vaguely, feeling the pain behind his buttocks. He muttered dissatisfiedly: "I really fell on my butt! Will the fall in my dream become reality?"
"Get up quickly! If you don't get up, the beast will come, and I won't care about you!"
A woman's voice was as clear as jade, like pearls falling on a plate, and the coachman suddenly shivered. This voice was so familiar!
He sat up all of a sudden. Isn't this the guest's voice? Why did he fall asleep
Coming out of the carriage, the coachman looked at the half-remaining carriage in the dim moonlight, and all the drowsiness was gone.
Squatting on the ground, he cried with no image: "My poor father! You spent the money you saved all your life to buy a carriage for my son to make a living, and the family finally settled down. Now everything is settled." No more, my miserable father! Why is your life so miserable! Dad, I’m sorry for your son, but you have to explain it! It’s better for your son to die, what’s the point of living when life is worse than death!”
"Dad! My son is unfilial and I am embarrassed for you. My son will go with my father..."
"shut up!"
Ye Xingtong interrupted his cry without any saltiness.
"What does a grown man have to cry about? Isn't he just an inferior horse? Is it worthy of your crying?"
The coachman stopped crying and said with sobs: "I raised that horse little by little. I have been following him for several years. I have a deep relationship with him. Without it, I can't live!"
Seeing the driver's awkward attitude, Ye Xingtong really wanted to knock him out and take him away.
"you said?"
"I...I...I said it."
"Okay, very good, very loyal. If you follow this horse, then your family won't want it anymore?" Ye Xingtong asked with a half-smile.
The coachman hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Xingtong, feeling suddenly panicked in his heart. This girl's eyes were so sharp.
He followed the horse without really thinking about it, but he just wanted to threaten the girl and ask him to pay him more compensation.
"Who said I don't want it anymore? I want it all, the horse, and my family too. Don't even think about not paying compensation! I tell you I won't do what you want."
Ye Xingtong shook his head helplessly. At this time, he was still thinking about compensation. Is life or money more important? This man... is really...
Turning around and leaving along the path, he said: "I have already said that if you come with me, I will try my best to take care of you, but it's okay if you don't follow me. Well, there was a wolf sound just now, I guess Soon those wolves will come here. Your horse may have been eaten. I understand that you want to be with your horse. I will also fulfill your loyalty. I will be here waiting to be with your horse. Let’s be swallowed up together.”
"Who is afraid of whom! Isn't it just a wolf?" Several wolf roars came out at the right time. The driver turned pale with fright and trembled on the ground. He immediately reacted and stood up tremblingly with support on the ground, facing Ye Xingtong's face. He strode over in the direction he was walking: "Girl, please save me, save me. If I get eaten in this wilderness, you won't have anything to do with it! Besides, I fell into this kind of situation just to escort you." It’s a dangerous and embarrassing situation, please save me just because I’m in a pitiful situation with seniors and juniors…”
The coachman had an idea and said, "As long as you can protect me, I won't ask for compensation!"
Ye Xingtong paused and said, "Because you are so sincere, I promise you that I will have the compensation paid to you another day!"
He took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the coachman: "I'll give this to you first. I'll have the rest delivered to you another day!"
It’s silver!
The driver excitedly picked it up and rubbed it in his hand: "Thank you, girl, that's enough, that's enough."
"Next, we need to be more energetic. We may face unprecedented challenges! You put the money away. If you lose it, I will no longer be responsible!"
As Ye Xingtong walked, he secretly observed the movements around him and chatted with the coachman without saying a word.
Chatting like this can at least reduce the driver's fear of the surrounding environment and prevent him from being too scared to walk.
"Yes, girl, just feel free to deal with the danger and protect me! I can't lose my things!"
The coachman said, following behind with a smile.
There was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, whether this girl could protect him!
Could a little girl who looked so thin be able to deal with a ferocious beast that suddenly jumped up
Thinking of this, my feet were trembling and I couldn't walk anymore.
"Hurry up and follow me, otherwise if you are in danger I won't be able to save you in time!"
The girl's decisive and confident voice sounded again, and the coachman's heart was suddenly filled with strength. A little girl dared to walk at night in the wilderness. He was a man who was nearly twenty years older than this little girl. What are you afraid of? If someone sees you, wouldn't it mean that you are worse than an inexperienced little girl
A man's dignity cannot be trampled on, and he must not show timidity. Thinking of this, he quickly kept up with Ye Xingtong's pace.
The little girl walked so fast that he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but the little girl still couldn't breathe.
"Uncle, is there a safer place nearby? I think the wolves should catch up." Ye Xingtong suddenly stood still under a tree, thoughtfully.
The driver did not expect that Ye Xingtong suddenly braked and hit the big tree next to Ye Xingtong.
I couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Mom, you really hit me to death!"
Ye Xingtong stepped forward and continued forward, saying calmly: "Let's go, we must leave this place of right and wrong. I don't know when those wolves will come!"
A gust of wind blew by, and the coachman shivered, feeling hairy all over his body. He looked at the dark and cold environment around him, and felt that everything he saw were monsters. He yelled and followed Ye Xingtong: "Girl, you can't ignore me! My carriage is gone, you can’t let me go home!”
"Well, that girl, wait a minute. I know there is an abandoned temple not far ahead..." Before the coachman's voice could finish, he suddenly felt a figure appear in front of his eyes. He was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak and paralyzed on the ground. Covering his face and not daring to look: "Dear gods, ghost brothers, ghost sisters, ghost uncles, ghost aunts, please let me go! I will definitely burn high incense for you, please don't take me away, please You guys, my little family has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child..."
"Get up, what's going on? It's just your overthinking!" Ye Xingtong held his head against his head.
He is still a coachman. He is so timid and doesn’t know how to take on tasks in normal times.
When the coachman heard the familiar voice, he felt very friendly. He opened his eyes first and saw that there was only a familiar shadow in front of him. Only then did the fear in his heart dissipate. He smiled coquettishly: "Girl, it turns out it's you! You The person who had been walking in front suddenly jumped in front of me, which really shocked me, and now I still feel that my heart is not my own."
Ye Xingtong also smiled: "Uncle, do you usually pull a car like this?"
The driver was speechless by the question, and it took him a long time to hold back one sentence: "I have never walked on the night road before, and the place where I pulled the cart was not far, so I only made a small amount of money. I only agreed to give you this time because I wanted to be greedy." You pull the cart."
The voice became smaller and smaller, but Ye Xingtong still heard it clearly and said with a smile: "I won't let you come with me in vain. Since the carriage is gone, as long as you leave this place today, you can take advantage of the passing carriages and horses tomorrow. Go back, the money I gave you should be enough, right?"
Tonight was too weird. She had sensed something nearby, but they never appeared, as if they were deliberately trying to whet her appetite.
She was afraid of them. No matter what they were, she believed they could be solved. The solutions were thought up by people. Even if she was not capable enough, she could still use ingenuity to gain strength. What she was afraid of was that the things in the dark would not come out.
The carriage driver nodded with obvious excitement on his face: "That's enough, that's enough. The girl is so generous. Ten taels of silver is enough to buy two carriages."
Ye Xingtong smiled faintly and continued to move forward. The soft sword at his waist gave off a faint silver light in the moonlight, reflecting a bright white color.
In terms of perseverance and patience, let’s see who can compete with the other. She was able to survive in the most difficult and arduous desert of death. This time it doesn’t matter.
When she was thrown into the desert of death by her master, she didn't know how to be thrifty at first, and she didn't take the camel that master had prepared for her seriously. In the end, she didn't have any water or food, and she was almost comatose from hunger. .
But she still managed to survive with her strong will, and used her wisdom to find water sources to solve the problem of food and drink. To put it simply, only those who have truly experienced death in the desert know the true feelings.
There was no one to help her, she could only rely on herself. This was the first truth that Master taught her.
When she walked out of the desert and saw the gentle smile of her master, she smiled and fainted in his arms. Only then did the master officially accept her as his disciple.
At that time, she was only ten years old!
Her martial arts training can only be said to be average. Her father never hired a martial arts teacher for her. She still read books by herself and watched other people practice martial arts before she learned one and a half moves.
Master still remembers what she said.
Her meeting with the Master was by chance.
That day she sneaked out of the palace to play and was surrounded by a bunch of gangsters. She defeated them with some tricks, but she was also injured and her face was scratched.
I happened to see Master passing by there.
An old man with stubble dressed as a beggar saw with his own eyes a little girl knocking a dozen little boys to the ground with just a few moves. He walked out from a corner, clapped his hands and laughed: "What an amazing little girl! Can you put on another show for me to see?"
