Chapter 41 Fengdu Ghost City

How did Xiao Ran know that after this battle, he had become quite famous in the world, and his dress was imitated by many princes. In Yizhou City, pedestrians who come and go are still difficult to adapt to their clothes for a while, and even their way of speaking has to be changed. It took several times to find a street selling horses. There are many people in the horse market. Each fat and healthy body can be selected by people, mixed with the smell of horse dung and coquettishness.

"Alas, this old man, look at this BMW, which is well-proportioned and has strong legs. It's a rare horse. Come and have a look.

“...”

Horse sellers on both sides shouted, and the sound of bargaining was endless. Xiao Ran turned a deaf ear and completely ignored the shouts of the horse dealer. Xiangma is a very complicated thing. As a special profession, there are also many people turning around the horse market. As long as you look at it accurately, you will make several times the profit. Xiao Ran doesn't know the art of horse. Just take a look at it and know the quality of the horse immediately. After turning for more than half an hour, he didn't value satisfactory horses.

Continue to move forward with a trace of hope until the end of the horse city. A small store with only ten horses. Maybe the location of the store is not good, and the quality of the horses is too poor. Even horse dealers are too lazy to shout, and few people are interested in it. Only the shopkeeper sat at the door and waited for the wronged man to come to the door. Xiao Ran stared at a jujube-red horse and couldn't help looking at it a few more times, showing a smile. Seeing that Xiao Ran's appearance as a foreigner is not a regular customer in the horse market, the shopkeeper quickly came forward and asked, "Does this gentleman want to choose a horse?" What do you think of these horses? Although they sell a little worse, they are absolutely powerless when they run.

Xiao Ran grew up in the market on the street. He has long been familiar with the tricks of these profiteers and is not in a hurry to make a statement. Just pretending to choose and walking in front of the four horses. He said, "Just buy a horse that can carry people. It doesn't matter what you sell." He pointed to a horse.

The shopkeeper said, "Of course, the price is satisfactory to Mr. Bao. How about 20 taels of silver?"

Xiao Ran shook his head and turned away. The shopkeeper glanced at the fat and thin horse and gritted his teeth to pull Xiao Ran back and said, "18 taels."

Xiao Ran looked at the horse a few times and reluctantly said, "At most 15 taels."

This horse also turned from the horse dealer a few days ago. At the beginning, it was well-proportioned, but I didn't expect it to become like this in only three or five days. While someone bought it now, he took the mahjong to Xiao Ran and said, "Sir, this deal is 15 taels." When others saw Xiao Ran spending money to buy a sick horse, they all scolded the man for being too stupid. Xiao Ran didn't care. He led the lame thin horse to the door of a pharmacy, tied the horse in front of the store, and then came out a few pieces of medicine. In addition, the money for the medicine was only 16 taels of silver, but it was a big bargain.

This horse was originally the leader of the foreign horse group. After being arrested, he did not eat or drink water, and fell seriously ill halfway to become the current appearance of this disease. No wonder many people can see it. After all this, it seemed a little late to hurry up and found an inn to stay. He ordered the shopkeeper to take the medicine to suffer and eat downstairs.

A teenager holding a sword smiled when he saw Xiao Ran's makeup: "It's another person who learned to dress up as "Mr. Yuxiao"."

When Xiao Ran saw that there was no one next to him, he was sure that he was talking about himself and asked, "Brother Tai, who is this "Mr. Yuxiao"? Why do you say that I dress the same as him?"

This question stunned the teenager, and then smiled and said, "You are interesting. You obviously learned the "Mr. Yuxiao" in his clothes, but you don't know who he is?"

Xiao Ran didn't care and said, "There are many people in the world. Maybe it's a coincidence that this "Mr. Yuxiao" is very famous?"

A person next to him said, "Is it famous? It's more than famous. Since the Golden Toad Island War, this "Yu Xiao" is famous in the world. I don't know how many girls admire?

Xiao Ran was shocked and knew that "Yuxiao" was talking about himself. After a long time, he became a fake and laughed dumbly. He said, "In the future, I will put away this purple flute so as not to be recognized and cause trouble."

As soon as the teenager finished speaking, a woman beside him said, "Brother Liu, are you jealous of the second sister? What are you jealous of others for, or you will dress up to please the second sister tomorrow? The teenager snorted coldly and stopped talking. The rest of the tables also discussed the Qunyinghui and the Liujiazhen tragedy.

"I don't know who it is. Even the Wulin League has issued an order to arrest the murderer."

"I think the Wulin League is an example of killing chickens and monkeys to stand up."

"Maybe it was done by the Heavenly Demon Sect again..."

"In this world, even Ren Xiaoyao, who has disappeared from the world for more than ten years, can reappear in the world. What's so strange? Anyway, the world is not at peace now."

Xiao Ran ate while paying attention to the gossip of Jianghu people in the store. Not participating in the disputes does not mean that you don't listen to things outside the window. If trouble comes, you can't stop it. Hearing several people describe the tragedy of Liujiazhen, Xiao Ran frowned and vaguely felt that he was involved in Wanduyuan, but he couldn't say anything strange for a while. It's a long way to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou. I don't know what else will happen. Since I can't figure it out, I won't think about it.

The next day, I paid for the house. The shopkeeper looked much better when he pulled out the jujube red horse again. I believe that it will take a few days to restore the glory of the former grassland king. Horses are not allowed to run in the city, so they have to lead horses to walk. I bought dry food for a few days and wanted to walk out of the city. Riding on the horse, the horse was very tame and gently stroked the mane and said, "Look at your whole body red, like a flame, I will call you "flame" in the future."

The flame's hoofs were raised, one leaned back and sounded a few noses excitedly. Xiao Ran showed a light smile: "Drive." The flames galloped away with Xiao Ran like a red lightning, raising a cloud of dust.

From the south of Sichuan to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can choose to go down the river by land or by boat. Xiao Ran finally chooses to turn to the waterway by land. In this way, the scenery along the way will not be missed. The ancient city of Fengdu has been a famous "ghost city" since ancient times. I don't know whether it is rumored or true, and it has put a mysterious veil on the city.

In Xishan, a man rode a horse from the gate and walked slowly to the city. A large town was very depressed. Except for a few stray dogs barking at the stranger on the street, there was not even a trace. The fiery red horse gasped and refused to move forward.

Xiao Ran turned over and got off his horse, and his face looked much thinner after a few days of eating. He said, "Wait here. I'll find some water and food."

The gates are closed everywhere, just like a dead city. Xiao Ran looked around for a while, walked to the door of a big talker and knocked on the door and said, "Is there anyone? ......”

shouted and there was no response, but several companies still did the same. It's strange. Is it usual to close the door like this? It's not dark yet, and I went to bed too early. It was impossible to buy some dry food. While thinking about it, a red door opened, revealing a crack in the door. An old man who looked like a subordinate poked out his head and looked at it in private, as if he was afraid of something. It was not until he was sure that there was no strange situation that he greeted Xiao Ran and said, "Brother, let's go. This is not a place to stay for a long time."

Xiao Ran said, "This is why I have run out of dry food in your place. I want to borrow the treasure to stay for one night and leave tomorrow. Please inform your father-in-law that silver is not a problem.

Seeing that Xiao Ranbin was polite and not like a villain, his father-in-law said, "I don't know that a few days ago, women and strong men disappeared one after another in this city. It is said that they are wronged souls for debts. So far, more than a dozen people have disappeared. It makes people panic. There are still people who dare to take in foreigners.

Xiao Ran said, "Does the government care about this?"

The father-in-law shook his head and said, "The government is also thoroughly investigating this matter, and finally a few arrests will be killed."

Xiao Ran knew that it was really difficult for his father-in-law to stay overnight and said, "My father-in-law, please find some dry food for me. I'll just pay for the money."

The old man pondered and said, "Okay, wait a minute."

After half a column of incense, the door was opened. The father-in-law took a sheepskin bag and handed it over to Xiao Ran with a bag of cakes and said, "There is nothing good. Let's just eat it." It's not worth much money and you don't have to pay. By the way, if you really don't have a place to go, you can go to the Guandi Temple in the east of the city. Guandi appears, and the evil spirit can't hurt you.
