Chapter 323

"Huanhuan?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at this dirty, strange animal with several bald patches of fur. She couldn't help but smile. She stroked the horns on Huanhuan's head.

Those were two bald horns.

Ji Xiaohua saw that Zhang Xiaohua didn't dislike Huanhuan and became happier.

Zhang Xiaohua was about to ask him, but Old Man Hao said, "Xiaohua, you accompany the young master. I'll take Huanhuan back."

Xiaohua smiled and said, "The young master said he wanted to go to my house. Let's go together."

Then she turned to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Young master, put your sack on the firewood. Huanhuan is very strong. She can carry it."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved. She didn't show anything strange on her face. She reached out to pick up the sack from the ground and put it on Huanhuan's back. Sure enough, the animal didn't seem to feel anything.

As the three walked, Ji Xiaohua told Zhang Xiaohua about Huanhuan.

It turned out that Huanhuan didn't belong to Old Man Hao. Last year, when Xiaohua went to the mountain forest outside the city to collect firewood, she picked it up from a ravine.

When Ji Xiaohua met Huanhuan, the horns on Huanhuan's head had been cut off. There were also a few arrows on its body, leaving a lot of blood. It didn't look like it would live. Ji Xiaohua happened to have some wound medicine with her. She applied it on Huanhuan and brought it back little by little from the mountain forest.

However, Ji Xiaohua and Madam Zhang weren't good at raising animals, so they handed it over to Old Man Hao. After treatment, it was finally saved. Ji Xiaohua named it Huanhuan.

Xiaohua's family didn't usually need this animal, so they left it with Old Man Hao. Every day, it would help Old Man Hao carry some things. During the busy farming season, it would also help other people in the fields.

At this point, Xiaohua's heart also moved, and she said sincerely, "Young Master, Huanhuan is very good at carrying things, but I don't know if it's to your liking. However, it's not like a horse, it's good at running, and if you ride it …"

At this point, he couldn't continue. He really hoped that his Huanhuan could help Zhang Xiaohua, but if Zhang Xiaohua really rode this thing that was neither a donkey nor a horse, wouldn't she be ridiculed to death?

Huanhuan seemed to be able to understand Xiaohua's words and was extremely unhappy. She struggled against the reins in his hands and let out a long cry to express her objection.

Xiaohua Ji quickly patted Huanhuan's back to express her sympathy.

Zhang Xiaohua was also depressed. Yes, who didn't like to wear bright clothes, ride a tall horse, and swagger through the streets?

But even a tall horse couldn't carry a long sword. Even if Huanhuan could carry a long sword, if it couldn't run as fast as a tall horse, what use would he have for it?

"Right now, I just want to find a proper way to go home. Carrying such a heavy sword, even if I take a carriage, it's still inconvenient. I can only travel alone. Since I can't buy a horse, I can only travel alone.

Alas, it's easy to use lightness skills in the forest where there's no one, but it's extremely inappropriate to use lightness skills along the main road. I've never heard of people in the martial arts world using lightness skills to travel along the official road in broad daylight. "

"Yes, they don't use lightness skills to travel because they're afraid of exhausting their internal strength, but I'm not afraid. I have primordial stones to replenish the energy of heaven and earth. Why would I be afraid of running out of vital qi?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes unconsciously lit up. But then he thought, "If I used the levitation skill to travel from Songning Town to Luzhen Town, my name would've spread throughout the martial arts world. Forget it, I'll keep a low profile.

If I'm looking for trouble for no reason, it's better to use the usual method to go back. There must be a reason why people in the martial arts world don't use lightness skills to travel. There must be a reason. "

Then, Zhang Xiaohua touched his chin and looked at Huanhuan. He didn't know if this monster could carry a long sword.

Well, the most important thing was, could it run fast enough?

As for whether riding this monster was ugly or not, he threw that thought to the back of his mind. He had ridden a donkey in the Guozhuang House before, so it didn't seem to be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua asked tentatively, "Xiaohua Ji, how heavy can Huanhuan carry?"

"Young master, you have to ask Old Man Hao about this. I've never used Huanhuan like this."

Old Man Hao, who was walking slowly in front, turned around and said, "Young Master, I'm not boasting, but Huanhuan is really the best animal I've ever seen. The mule squeaked when it carried a little bit of firewood, but Huanhuan didn't respond at all. It's even good at plowing the fields. Not only can it walk steadily, but it also plows deeply. It often does the work of other cows for two days. Several farmers near the city want to buy it, but Xiaohua is unwilling to part with it. That's why I've been keeping it."

After saying that, he sighed and said, "Actually, Young Master, to tell you the truth, how can this old man not know Xiaohua's thoughts? My house is so bare. If I have Huanhuan as my companion, it won't seem lonely. Moreover, I can use Huanhuan to carry firewood every day. When the farm is busy, Huanhuan can help me get some pocket money. If I sell Huanhuan, this old man's life will be more difficult."

Xiaohua Ji blushed and said, "Old Man Hao, I'm not so noble. When I saw Huanhuan plowing the fields, I wasn't in a good mood. I knew it didn't like plowing, so I didn't sell it. If it entered someone else's house, wouldn't it have to plow the fields every day?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled at the side and didn't say anything.

The ugly Huanhuan seemed to like Zhang Xiaohua very much. As it walked, it rubbed against Zhang Xiaohua. It sniffed his body and snorted from time to time.

After walking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua asked tentatively, "Xiaohua Ji, you like Huanhuan so much. If I want it, are you willing to sell it to me?"

Xiaohua Ji stopped and slowed down. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's seemingly serious expression, he panicked first. He lowered his head, looked at the ground, and then at the reins in his hand, and said, "Young master, you … really want it, but Huanhuan can't run fast, and … but …"

He was a little incoherent, but then he raised his head, and his eyes became firmer. He said, "Young master, if you really want to buy it, give me more money. Old Man Hao relies on Huanhuan to live."

It seemed that Xiaohua Ji really didn't want to part with this ugly animal. His words were a little incoherent, but his heart couldn't stand Zhang Xiaohua. At the last moment, he was a little ruthless and made a decision.

However, ordinary people would think that the previous refusal was just for the sake of the final increase in the price. After all, this animal was his, and Old Man Hao was just raising it for him.

However, from the short contact just half a day ago, Zhang Xiaohua knew that although the scabby child in front of him loved money, he wasn't greedy. The last sentence was indeed the main point of his words, but it was indeed his heartfelt words. He would indeed give most of the money he used to buy the animal to Old Man Hao.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Xiaohua Ji, but Huanhuan is yours. Why did you give the money to Old Man Hao?"

Xiaohua Ji also asked strangely, "Young master, although Huanhuan is mine, I can't raise it. Old Man Hao is helping me raise it. I have to give the money to Old Man Hao. What's so strange about this?"

Zhang Xiaohua blinked, touched her nose, and thought, "What a good child."

Old Man Hao, who was next to them, became vigilant and asked, "Young master, what do you want this animal for?

Your family doesn't lack animals to farm, and you don't have to worry about the family's land. Why make the child unhappy? "

Zhang Xiaohua quickly said, "Old Man Hao, don't blame me. I was just joking with Xiaohua Ji. What I need is a fast horse. This ugly animal isn't a horse. What do I want it for?

Don't you think so, Xiaohua Ji? "

Hearing this, Xiaohua Ji said embarrassedly, "Young master, are you really joking with me?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua Ji nodding affirmatively, she was relieved and said with a smile, "I really thought that young master liked Huanhuan. Look at its rotten body. How can it be worthy of young master?"

While speaking, her eyes were a little absent-minded and flashed with guilt. She quickened her steps and led Huanhuan forward.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the south of the city. Old Man Hao's house was close to the street, but it was also shabby. The inside was even dirtier and smelled very bad. It was even worse than Ji Xiaohua's house. Zhang Xiaohua didn't care. She stood at the door and took down the sack on Huanhuan's back. When she wanted to help with the firewood, Xiaohua Ji wouldn't let her. She could only watch them, one old and one young, move the big bundle of firewood from Huanhuan's back with difficulty.

"I don't know how Old Man Hao got the firewood on Huanhuan's back outside the city." Zhang Xiaohua Ji sighed.

When Ji Xiaohua Ji led Huanhuan to the corner of the courtyard where flies were everywhere and the stench was endless, Huanhuan wasn't as docile as usual. It stood on all fours like nails. No matter how hard Ji Xiaohua Ji tried, she couldn't move it at all.

Later, Old Man Hao also joined in. The two of them tried together, but the odd beast only shook its head left and right. Its eyes stared at Zhang Xiaohua at the door and didn't move.

Zhang Xiaohua also looked at it in surprise. Just now on the street, he read Huanhuan's emotions. Perhaps it was just a momentary illusion. At this moment, the desire and unwillingness in Huanhuan's eyes were reflected in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes.

When Ji Xiaohua Ji saw this, she was so anxious that tears almost fell. Her small face flushed red. She mustered all her strength and pulled on Huanhuan's reins, looking at Zhang Xiaohua Ji Hao uneasily from time to time.

"Sigh …" Zhang Xiaohua Ji Hao sighed. He turned around, picked up the sack, and left the courtyard.

After a while, the light in Huanhuan's eyes disappeared. Her eyes dimmed again, and she closed them again, revealing a slight gap. She moved her feet slowly. Under Ji Xiaohua Ji Hao's command, she walked to the dark corner and stopped moving. She let the flies crawl all over her body. The donkey-like tail behind her was too lazy to move, let alone the swill in front of her that was already rotten. No matter what, she couldn't open her mouth.

Ji Xiaohua Ji Hao clearly saw that in the corner of Huanhuan's eyes, there was a sparkling and translucent … teardrop!
