"No, no, we have other things to do..."
Feng Beichuan waved his hand hastily, and before he could finish speaking, he chased after Li Chang'an out of the Xikelou restaurant.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the people present couldn't help but exchange knowing smiles. They all seemed to understand each other, and then began to drink and chat about the gossip and anecdotes surrounding this seemingly perfect couple.
Li Chang'an's steps quickened, almost as if she were walking on air. She kept a straight face and didn't look to the side. The person following behind her made her feel like she had a thorn in her side.
"Chang An, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Feng Beichuan tiptoed to the woman's side, completely unaware that the others were getting annoyed with him.
"You want to come with me to the Western Paradise?"
Li Chang'an rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "Does this guy never have anything to do?"
"ah?"
Feng Beichuan was a little confused by her words. He frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "If it's really possible to go, I'd be happy to accompany you..."
Who the hell asked you to stay with me!
Li Chang'an was speechless.
Li Chang'an mounted his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust without looking back.
However, Feng Beichuan came out in a carriage this time. He watched the woman's figure getting further and further away and became very anxious. So he told the coachman to quickly remove all the restraints on the horse.
The coachman had no idea what his master was doing, so he hurriedly tried to untie the ropes, but they were tied too tightly and he couldn't get them off for a long time. Feng Beichuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he glanced over and saw a vendor selling things from a bullock cart next to him.
"Can I borrow your ox?"
Feng Beichuan hurriedly grabbed the cow rope and then tossed a bag of silver to the vendor.
"Why……"
The vendor inexplicably accepted a bag of silver, only to find the strange man in front of him riding on a cow!
Thanks!
As he spoke, Feng Beichuan pulled on the ox's reins as if he were riding a horse. Unfortunately, this ox was not like his prized horse, which he had carefully trained for many years. It knew whether to run or stop as soon as its master pulled the reins.
The ox seemed a little unhappy, let out a low moo and didn't move, then shook its head as if it was getting impatient.
"Moo—"
Feng Beichuan froze on the spot...
The street vendor was also stunned on the spot...
At this moment, Feng Beichuan was so embarrassed that he wished he could take this stupid ox with him and crawl underground.
"You stupid ox, hurry up and run!"
Feng Beichuan angrily slapped the ox's hindquarters. Since there was no whip or anything like that, he disgustedly pulled his hand back and wiped it on the ox's back after slapping it.
"Moo!"
The bull seemed very displeased with the man's rude attitude. It let out another deep growl, then shook its head impatiently and swayed its body, as if trying to throw the person off its back.
It turns out that animals do have their own little tempers.
Feng Beichuan was getting impatient and angry at the stubborn ox. Seeing that Li Chang'an had already disappeared, he slapped the ox's rump again in anger.
This slap was much harder than the previous one, but it did have a slight effect. At least the ox took two steps forward, although it did so reluctantly.
Feng Beichuan originally thought the ox would continue running forward, but who knew it would only take two steps before stopping!
Just as he was angrily thinking of getting off the ox and finding another way, the vendor suddenly smiled sheepishly and then handed him something: "Why don't you try using a whip!"
Seeing the long, thin whip in the vendor's hand, Feng Beichuan frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say you had a whip earlier!"
Then, in a fit of anger, he grabbed the whip and lashed it across the cow's rump.
Perhaps because he was holding back his anger, he lashed out with too much force. The ox, which had been lazy and listless, suddenly snapped after being whipped.
"Moo!"
With a roar, the four oxen galloped forward like madmen. Feng Beichuan couldn't react in time and his body lurched backward, almost twisting his back.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the bull's horns to steady himself, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was truly a false alarm!
You won't believe it until you try; riding an ox is much harder than riding a horse!
The ox's back was much wider than a horse's, and Feng Beichuan felt uncomfortable no matter what position he adopted. Moreover, the ox was too heavy and difficult to steer.
What's worse is that this ox wasn't tamed by him; it was essentially forced to ride on Feng Beichuan's back. Perhaps because it was very dissatisfied, it was extremely difficult for Feng Beichuan to control the ox.
"Turn! You're about to crash!"
Feng Beichuan was sweating profusely as he gripped the cow's horns. He shouted as he reached out and grabbed the rope on the cow's body, trying to pull it back.
There's a wall in front of us; if we crash into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the nick of time, Feng Beichuan raised the bull whip in his hand and struck the bull's rump, then pulled the rope on its body to one side with all his might.
The cow seemed somewhat provoked; it bellowed angrily and then stopped.
Passersby couldn't help but turn their heads in amazement; they had never seen such a spectacle before: a noble-looking man riding on a yellow ox, shouting and yelling in broad daylight.
Feng Beichuan also realized that he really couldn't control the thing he was riding, so he had to give up and get off the ox.
Just then, he arrived at the market and saw a man selling horses in the distance, so he led the ox over.
But the ox had just been whipped a few times and was still in a bad mood, so it refused to go with him no matter what.
"Tch, fine, don't leave then!"
Feng Beichuan angrily let go of it and then ignored it.
How much is your horse?
When Feng Beichuan approached the horse seller, he glanced at a horse and saw that it looked quite good. He went over, reached out and stroked the mane on its back, and then asked...
Seeing that the man in front of him was dressed in fine clothes, the horse seller figured he must be a generous spender. He rolled his eyes, preparing to quote a higher price to make a big profit.
Before he could even speak, Feng Beichuan tossed out a silver note: "This should be enough, right? And the cattle are yours too!"
The horse seller was overjoyed when he opened the silver note. It turned out that his first sale of the day had been with a sucker who gave him a silver note that was enough to buy more than three horses!
The key question is, who has ever seen someone buy a horse and not only pay for it but also get a cow as a bonus?
"That's enough, that's enough, thank you, sir!"
The horse seller nodded and bowed with delight, quickly tying the reins to the horse and fastening the saddle as he spoke.
"The horseshoes are all nailed on, so you can ride with confidence. My horse is in great condition!"
Taking the reins from the horse seller, Feng Beichuan didn't have time to listen to any more of his words. He simply nodded slightly, mounted his horse, and rode away in a cloud of dust.
Riding a horse feels so good, much better than that stupid ox!
