Chapter 53 I have a little donkey

Although the Black Prison Mine Cave is within the territory of the Dali Dynasty, it is more than 10,000 miles away from Kyoto!

Fortunately, Lu Li was not in a hurry. His plan was to spend a few months to go there and experience the customs and customs of various places along the way. If there is no harvest after arriving, he would go back to the sect while the flowers were blooming next spring.

This was a long journey for him. During this period, I don’t know what kind of stories I’d like to experience and what kind of scenery I’d seen, but it’s still worth looking forward to.

The long journey of several months was not a joke. Lu Li began to prepare after leaving the palace.

Considering that I probably spend most of the time in the wild, I have to think about how to make myself comfortable.

All kinds of seasonings are indispensable. Lu Li hopes to get some wild game during the boring journey and have to prepare a sleeping bag. It’s not that he is afraid of the cold in winter, but mainly to rest more comfortably. For this reason, he also bought a thin quilt, followed by pots and pans, and even some exquisite charcoal that is resistant to burns. Then he also bought some medicines to drive away poisonous insects and beasts. It’s not that he is afraid of being attacked, but mainly because he is annoying...

Lu Li has money, and these things are not expensive. In addition, this is the Kyoto of the Dali Dynasty, so he can buy almost anything as long as he has money, so he has prepared it in half a day.

There are a lot of people, although this weight doesn't matter to him, it's a bit of a hindrance.

"Well, I have to buy a vehicle, it's best to be able to transport it..."

After thinking for a while, Lu Li temporarily placed the things in a hotel, and then inquired about it and went to the livestock trading market.

Although it was cold winter, the market was very lively, with pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys everywhere, and all the vendors selling animals were so cold that they stamped their feet and looked at the pedestrians.

If you come here on a hot day, the smell of the air is so sour...

Strolling in the market, Lu Li was looking for the mount he wanted.

Originally, Lu Li wanted to buy a horse, which could carry things and ride, but Lu Li quickly changed his mind. He saw an old farmer in a ragged dress pulling a donkey, competing with the donkey who was holding it and fighting backwards, while comforting the young grandson with a runny nose and a red face, saying that he would sell the stubborn donkey and pull two feet of cloth to make new clothes for his grandson.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li decided to buy the little donkey.

It was not because he felt that this urban scene was very friendly, far away from the high and weak, without the solemnity of wealth and honor, and even further away from the illusion of illusion, which brought people to reality at once.

"It's also good to sit on the little donkey and go leisurely to the Black Prison Mine thousands of miles away..."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lu Li stepped forward to ask the old farmer for the price, and soon the two sides happily reached a deal, and Lu Li bought it with fifteen taels of silver.

This is not expensive, after all, a donkey can be considered a two-strong laborer for a farmer.

"Well, this young master, I'll tell you that although this donkey is only one and a half years old and can do work for many years, I have to remind you that this donkey is very lazy, like an old man. If you don't serve it, it won't wait to work. It's useless to whip it with a whip. If it's annoying, it will bite people. If it's not like this, I won't lead you here. It's not intentional to cheat you. If you are not satisfied, I can refund the money. At worst, I can sell it to the restaurant..."

At the end of the transaction, the old farmer was embarrassed and still spoke to remind Lu Li.

Son, ah...

The donkey shouted at the old farmer twice and snarled.

Lu Li patted the donkey's head and smiled, "Thank you for reminding me, it's okay, it's cold, you guys should go back quickly."

Although Lu Li just patted the donkey's head gently, the donkey's limbs trembled after being patted by him, and immediately lowered his head and looked extremely docile.

"Okay," the old farmer nodded, and then said harshly to the donkey: "Stubborn donkey, you should be diligent when you follow the new owner in the future, otherwise you will be slaughtered and eaten meat."

It can be seen that although the old farmer dislikes the donkeys, he is still a little reluctant to let go. Ordinary people can raise feelings for a pet. Donkeys are a strong labor force for farmers, and they are no different from their families. It is normal to be reluctant to let go after they suddenly sell them.

Farewell to the old farmer, Lu Li led the donkey to the hotel where he stored things, and was preparing to ask the hotel to help him buy saddle blankets to facilitate the storage and ride.

The donkey looks only 1.5 meters tall, with a circle of white mouth, a white belly, and black everywhere. The furry looks a little stupid and cute.

The little donkey was led by Lu Li, and I guess he knew that Lu Li could not afford it. He was particularly well-behaved with his tail all the way, and he was not as good as the old farmer who was leading him and regressing without leaving.

On the way to the hotel, I passed by a musical instrument store and stopped for a little while and was in some bad taste. Lu Li went in and bought an instrument. It was not an elegant guqin or a chic flute, but a suona...

"As soon as the suona sounds, my parents will be in vain... Cough, this thing is of far-reaching significance. You can blow it when you are born, you can blow it on a happy day, you can blow it after your birthday, and you can wrap it in the coffin when you die, and you can blow it after a lifetime..."

Lu Li can’t play suona, but it doesn’t matter. You can learn it, just think it’s fun for your boring life.

When he returned to the hotel, he had money to make the devil push the mill and spent some money. The hotel quickly bought all the things needed by the donkey for him, and washed them carefully. When he learned that Lu Li was going far away, he also prepared some forage.

I ate some food in the hotel to fill my stomach and put everything I bought on the donkey. At noon, Lu Li took the donkey away.

It was cloudy and the snow was still falling. The footprints of one person and one donkey were quickly covered by wind and snow.

When he passed by the pier outside Zuixianju, he paused briefly, and he heard someone telling other people's stories.

The protagonist of the story is a beautiful woman who came to the dock every day a few months ago, as if she was looking for someone. She came every day for three months and became thinner day by day.

Until one day she did not appear again. Because she appeared every day but suddenly did not appear, the good people went to inquire and learned that the woman had gone to a very far place...

"Can it be her?"

Lu Li thought of Yang Ling whom he met a few months ago, but he was not sure if the woman people were talking about was her. If it were her, who would she come here to look for?

"Have you gone to a far place..., please see you again if you are destined to..."

Thinking of this, Lu Li walked away with the donkey.
