Zhangjiakou is a north-south corridor, a fur distribution area outside the Great Wall, densely populated and prosperous with shops.
Ever since he separated from his masters, Guo Jing has been like a headless fly, riding a horse around.
Naturally, there are dangers on the road, but they didn't dare to stop Guo Jing when they saw that he was a strong man wearing black fur and riding a tall horse.
You must know that raising a good horse costs 10 taels of silver a month. In these troubled times, if you have money and dare to go out alone, you must be a martial arts expert.
After a few days, Guo Jing finally arrived at the market.
Holding the little red horse, the young man looked around. He had never been to such a big city, but everything he saw was fresh. From time to time, he discussed with Brother Le on his shoulder what it was.
It's a pity that Le Ge was too lazy to pay attention and kept shouting for help!
Before arriving at a large tavern, Guo Jing also felt hungry, so he followed his master's example and handed the horse over to the waiter to take care of him, then entered the restaurant and took a seat.
I ordered a large plate of beef, two kilograms of flour cakes, and a bottle of good wine. Each person and the cat ate and drank.
Bystanders were a little surprised when they saw a person and a cat fighting for food at this table.
While eating happily, he suddenly heard a noise at the door of the store. Brother Le ran out to watch the excitement, and Guo Jing had no choice but to follow.
Outside, two shop assistants were yelling at a thin young man in ragged clothes.
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a dark, broken leather cap crookedly on his head. His face and hands were covered with black coal, and his true appearance was no longer visible.
The young man held a steamed bun in his hand, grinning, revealing two rows of shiny white teeth, but they were completely out of proportion to his whole body. His eyes were dark and very lively.
A shop assistant shouted: "What are you doing? Why don't you leave?"
The young man said: "Okay, let's go." Just as he turned around,
Another shop assistant shouted: "Put down the steamed buns." The young man put down the steamed buns as instructed, but there were a few smudged black fingerprints on the white steamed buns and could no longer be sold.
The man was furious and punched the boy, but the boy ducked and dodged.
Seeing this pity, Guo Jing thought that the young man was eating secretly because he was hungry, so he rushed to stop him: "Don't be violent, it will be charged to my account."
The guys stopped quickly, this was a big customer riding a good horse.
But the young man said: "This bun is not well made, poor thing, let's eat it for you!" He threw the bun directly to a mangy puppy at the door.
The puppy jumped on it and started chewing it.
Guo Jing frowned. He had lived with his mother since he was a child. Whenever he wasted a little food, he would be beaten up. He knew that his mother worked hard to make money by shepherding sheep, so he never wasted a little food.
The young man in front of him obviously wanted to eat, but he threw it directly to the dog, which he couldn't stand.
However, Second Master once said that when you are out in the world, talk less and do more, so he didn't say much and went back to eat.
At this time, the tabletop was already shiny and clean, and there was also a little yellow cat squatting on the table to rinse its mouth.
Guo Jing:......
"Oh, you're such a pretty cat!"
Only then did Guo Jing notice that the young man had also come in and was sitting opposite him, looking sideways.
Guo Jing was too lazy to care.
The young man laughed and said, "What? Do you think I feel uncomfortable?" His voice turned out to be a Jiangnan accent.
Guo Jing's mother was from Lin'an, and the Seven Eccentrics of Jiangnan were also from Zuojin, Jiaxing. He had been accustomed to the Jiangnan accent since he was a child. When he heard the young man speaking his own accent, he felt happy to see his fellow villagers.
Guo Jing finally couldn't hold back: "My mother said that a meal and a soup are hard-earned. On the way here, many people couldn't have a full meal a day. It's wrong for you to waste food like that!"
Hearing the familiar accent, the young man's eyes lit up, and then he pondered: "What you said makes sense. In this way, if you treat me to a meal today, I will never waste food again!"
"A word from a gentleman!" Guo Jing said with a smile.
With his current financial resources, he can afford ten meals, not to mention one meal.
The young man rolled his eyes: "Are you going to make me eat as much as I want?"
Guo Jing nodded and didn't take it seriously. No matter how much he eats, can he have more food?
The little yellow cat also looked at her expectantly. He hadn't eaten enough just now.
The young man called the waiter over: "Don't be busy eating meat, let's eat fruit first.
Hey guys, here are four dried fruits, four fresh fruits, two salty and sour fruits, and four candied fruits. The four dried fruits are lychees, longans, steamed dates, and ginkgo. The fresh fruits are fresh when you pick them. For the salty and sour fruits, we need fragrant cherries and ginger plums.
I wonder if you can buy it here? Candied fruits? Just rose kumquats, spiced grapes, candied peach strips, and good pear flesh."
"There are no fresh fish and shrimps for the snacks here. Well, let's have eight so-so drinks and dishes. Cooked quail with flowers, fried duck feet, chicken tongue soup, deer tripe stuffed with Jiangyao, fried mandarin duck and beef tendon, shredded rabbit with chrysanthemums, and fried deer.
Legs, ginger, vinegar, gold and silver hooves!”
Guo Jing and Xiao Er were stunned for a moment when they heard the young man mentioning so many delicious things in one breath, while Miao Le listened happily.
Look, this is professional!
The waiter then looked at Guo Jing: "Uncle, these dishes, just the duck feet and chicken tongue soup, require dozens of chickens and ducks. The total price is not cheap."
Guo Jing noticed that Brother Le was looking at him eagerly, and his heart suddenly tightened. He quickly took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it over: "Refund more and make up less!"
"Okay, Master, please wait first!"
The young man curled his lips: "De Xing! Let's have another ten-year-old Sanbai Fenjiu!"
Because they ordered a bunch of dishes, the two of them couldn't eat for a while, and then they started talking loudly, while the little yellow cat ate happily.
Guo Jing found that what this young man was talking about was the scenery and customs of the south, his conversation was elegant, and he was knowledgeable. He knew a lot about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and classics and history, which was very interesting.
And he himself told some interesting stories about playing rabbits in the desert grasslands, shooting eagles, galloping horses, hunting wolves, etc., and the young man listened with great interest.
Guo Jing has always been clumsy in speech and is not good at words. He is usually asked by others. Now, after talking to the person in front of him for a long time, he seems to have endless things to say. This is the first time that he feels that he has such a rapport with a person.
At this moment, he even wanted to befriend this young man, so that he could be like his masters and eat meat, drink wine and talk happily together.
However, he still kept in mind the second master's instructions: to know people's minds but not their hearts, you need to observe more.
After a while, the little yellow cat finally finished eating, and lay down comfortably on the shovel's shoulder. Its small body curled up like a little yellow ball, and fell asleep after a while.
The young man looked at her in surprise, confused as to how such a small body could eat so much. Then he was envious, why would she grow a belly just by eating a little more.
When the bill was settled, the total amount was nineteen liang and four cents. The waiter specially found silver and copper coins and was extremely respectful.
When he came out of the shop, the young man felt the cold wind blowing against his face. He shrank his head and said, "Brother Guo, I'm sorry for bothering you. Goodbye."
Just now, the two of them had exchanged names and even briefly introduced their family background. This Huang Rong's mother passed away, and his father still didn't want him. His life experience was very miserable.
When Guo Jing saw that his clothes were thin, he couldn't bear it. He carefully picked up Le Ge and put him on the little red horse. He stayed there for a while, then took off his mink fur and put it on him.
"Brother Huang, we hit it off as soon as we met, so I'll give it to you as a gift."
"Oh, by the way, you should take these two ingots of gold with you too!" Guo Jing took out two large ingots of gold and put them into the young man's arms. Each one had as much as fifty taels.
The young man was startled, and his eyes were red. Ever since she came out to travel around the world, no one had ever been so kind to her. When she first left home, she didn't know how to disguise herself, and she almost fell into someone's trap.
"Thank you, Brother Guo!"
Guo Jing smiled: "Mother said that guests who come to our house should be treated with the best things. When Brother Huang goes to the grassland in the future, if you can come to my house if you have time, I will ask you to roast a whole lamb and have a look.
The big eagle in my house!”
When Huang Rong heard this, she smiled and said: "Brother Guo, I want to ask you for a treasure, are you willing?"
Guo Jing said: "How can you refuse?"
Huang Rong said: "I just like you as a cat."
Guo Jing was stunned and refused directly: "That's not possible. Brother Le is my eldest brother. My mother said that he is kind to our family and we cannot let him suffer any injustice!"
Huang Rong was speechless, but she also knew the customs of certain areas. She rolled her eyes and said, "Then I want your horse!"
"no problem!"
…
In the evening, around dinner time, Miao Le woke up faintly and found that he was being held by a shovel, wandering around the streets and alleys.
After a moment of silence, Miao Le wondered: "Meow?"
Where is my horse? Where has my big horse gone?
Guo Jing continued shopping without squinting, buying some delicious snacks from time to time to feed to the little yellow cat.
After a while, the little yellow cat ate happily and forgot all the unpleasantness. Its blue eyes were round and its tail was swaying back and forth unknowingly.
After a while, a man and a cat came to a small alley.
Suddenly, five people jumped out from behind, the four in front carrying knives and guns, and whips and axes.
Behind him is a thin, green-faced man about forty years old, with extremely long cheeks, three large swollen tumors on his forehead, and a prominent head, giving him an excellent image.
A man in the front was holding a knife and sneered: "Boy, the person behind you is our uncle, the famous Three-Headed Jiaohou Tonghaihou Second Master, please kowtow!
Besides, we are interested in your cat and the money you have, so be smart and leave it to us."
Miao Le grinned happily.
Sure enough, he was still as handsome as ever, and even these bandits could spot him at a glance in the crowd.
Hey, looking good can sometimes be a worry!
"Our uncle's favorite dish is the dragon-tiger fight! Your cat is just right, it's small and tender, and the meat must be of good quality!" the man in front continued.
Miao Le fell silent and began to withdraw into himself.
Guo Jing frowned: "Robbery is wrong!"
Hearing this, the person in front laughed: "Hahaha~ It's so funny. I was worried that it was a fisherman, but I didn't expect that it was really a chick!
Of course robbery is wrong and immoral, but we can just borrow it from you!
Brothers, come on, let this boy know what dangers are in the world!"
"Pop, bang, bang, bang~"
"Uncle, uncle, you are right, robbery is wrong! But fishing and beating people is also immoral!" cried the three-headed dragon.
At this time, he had turned into a nine-headed dragon, and his head and horns were even more majestic.
How can a dragon cross the river? The five of them together can't even survive a single move.
You are so fierce, you should have told me earlier!
Guo Jing clapped his hands and gave Brother Le a look.
"Are you angry?"
Miao Le was very dissatisfied. This guy had such a perverted hobby. The cat was so cute that he actually wanted to eat it!
After thinking about it, the little yellow cat jumped on Hou Tongtian's belly and directly gave him a set of Meow Meow Fist.
"ah!"
Don’t think about eating well anymore!
After Guo Jing left, it took a long time for the few of them to get up, support each other, and look at each other, almost crying but without tears.
All their money was borrowed~
"Ugh!" Hou Tongtian retched.
The body has been damaged by playing with it!
…
A few days later.
Guo Jing ran during the day, used Qinggong at night, hurriedly and slowly, and finally arrived at the capital of Dajin, Zhongdu.
At this time, this place was the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world. Even Bianliang, the old capital of the Song Dynasty, and Lin'an, the new capital, were still inferior.
Guo Jing grew up in the desert, where has he ever seen such a scene?
There are painted pavilions in red buildings, embroidered doors and red doors, carved carriages and horses vying with each other. Huge shops with high cabinets are filled with exotic goods and foreign objects. In teahouses and wine shops, only Chinese clothes, pearls and shoes can be seen.
It only dazzled the young man who had never seen the world. Nine out of ten things he saw had no idea what they were.
However, when he came to a restaurant called "Bliss on Earth", Le Ge pulled him and wanted to go inside to have fun no matter what.
Guo Jing had no choice but to ask. The starting price was thirty taels of silver. Guo Jing quickly walked away with the little yellow cat in his arms.
If they stayed here overnight, the two of them would probably be exposed to the northwest wind all the way to Jiaxing.
In the end, they had to go to a nearby small restaurant to have a meal, which disappointed the little yellow cat.
Hey, it’s not easy outside, Maomao sighed!
The fifteenth day of remembering the little rich woman Huazheng.
After eating, Guo Jing continued to wander around. He felt that he had seen more of the world today than he had seen in the previous twenty years.
Moreover, some girls here were wearing very little clothes, and their chests were so heavy that they might be suffocating, so I unknowingly took a second look at them.
"Pervert, what are you looking at!"
"Meow!"
Talking about you! Miao Le accuses officialdom of shoveling shit.
Guo Jing:......
Suddenly, I heard people shouting and cheering in front of me. Looking from a distance, I saw a large group of people surrounding me. I didn't know what they were looking at.
Curiosity aroused, Guo Jing walked into the crowd and looked around. He saw an open space in the middle, and a banner was planted in the ground. It had red flowers on a white background and embroidered with the four golden characters "Contest to Recruit a Marriage".
Two people under the banner were having a lively fistfight, one was a girl in red and the other was a grown man.
Guo Jing saw that the girl was well behaved and her martial arts skills were obviously not weak. She seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was tall and tall. Although her face had a dusty look, she had bright eyes, white teeth, and beautiful features.
But after watching it for a while, Guo Jing found it boring, because no matter how he looked at it, this girl couldn't survive a single move in his hands.
"Meow!" Keep watching!
The little yellow cat did not agree to leave, because he liked to watch girls fight!
After a while, a monk and a fat man came up. The two started fighting over a disagreement, and were eventually defeated by the daughter's father, Mu Yi.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, they suddenly heard the ringing of the luan bell, and dozens of strong servants came galloping in with a young master in their arms. When they saw the sign for a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, they looked at the girl's appearance and started to compete in martial arts.
This person's martial arts skills are pretty good, similar to that of that girl, and the little yellow cat is even more happy to see him.
After a while, the young master grabbed the girl's right foot that was being kicked by her. The girl tried hard to kick her foot, but the embroidered shoe with red flowers on her foot flew away.
The young master chuckled, put the embroidered shoes to his nose and pretended to smell them. He was about to make a joke, but his face suddenly froze.
This taste is sour and refreshing!
Everyone in the audience was instantly happy.
The children of Jianghu are not like those noble ladies. They may only bathe and wash their feet once every half a month. Moreover, they sweat a lot during daily martial arts training. This young man is restrained enough not to vomit it out on the spot.
"Farewell!" The young man turned and left.
Isn't it good to go home and smell the sweet smell of a girl's feet?
"Sir, I think you don't want to get married to a vulgar person like me. Please return my little girl's shoes!" Mu Yi shouted.
When the young man heard this, he threw the embroidered shoes to his subordinates: "This is my trophy! Come on."
"yes!"
"Give them ten taels of silver and I will buy these shoes!"
He had to show off to his mother when he got back. He won the competition today, but the shoes smelled a bit strong and he had to ask the maid to clean them first.
Mu Yi was furious and started fighting with the young man after a few words of quarrel. He was obviously a straight-tempered man.
After a moment of fighting, the young man's hands flew out as fast as lightning. Ten fingers were inserted into the backs of Mu Yi's left and right hands respectively, and then he jumped back. The tips of his ten fingers turned red.
"Old man, I'll spare your life this time. If you offend me again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Guo Jing's eyes narrowed. The young man just used the wrong training method of Destroying Divine Claw: Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Is he from Peach Blossom Island? Or is it that the Black Wind Shuangsha once stayed in Daikin for a period of time and had an apprentice?
Even if Mu Yi was injured, he still refused to accept it. In his heart, dignity was obviously more important than life.
The girl was angry and anxious, so she rushed up to support her father, tore off her clothes and bandaged his wounds.
Mu Yi pushed his daughter and said, "Go away. If we don't fight with him today, it won't be over."
The girl, with a pale face, stared at the young man, suddenly pulled out a dagger from her arms and thrust it into her chest.
Mu Yi was so shocked that he raised his hands to block without caring that he was injured.
"Block~" A strong wind struck, and it turned out to be a copper coin, which directly knocked the dagger out of the girl's hand.
Guo Jing walked out: "Uncle, let's forget it!"
After staying with Brother Le for a long time, Guo Jing also felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, this young man has an extraordinary background, so what if they get the embroidered shoes back?
If you make people unhappy, they might kill you!
The young man happened to be a little impatient, so when he saw someone coming out, he rode away.
It is simply an insult to his status to argue with these idiots.
Several people in the crowd noticed Guo Jing's fingering and were greatly surprised.
Huang Rong touched her smooth chin, why did it look a bit like her father's magical power of snapping fingers?
When Sha Tongtian saw this person, he quickly lowered his head. He was completely frightened last time.
There were also several experts in the young master's escort team. They looked at each other and shut up.
Serving Prince Da Jin, he has money and medicine. If this person attracts the attention of the young prince, wouldn't they get less medicine?
"Let's go!" the young master greeted with a smile.
Won two games in a row, comfortable!
Guo Jing helped Mu Yi up: "Uncle, forget it."
Mu Yi also came to his senses at this time, and naturally knew how lacking he was at that time.
But for some reason, when he saw the young man getting carried away with himself just now, he became very angry and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Hey! Thank you little brother! We, father and daughter, have nothing to thank you for, so I will treat you to a meal." Mu Yi said guiltily.
"Meow~" Miao Le's eyes lit up.
He felt as if he was seriously ill and became hungry every time he ate!
