I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

Hearing Qiu Yan's question, the shopkeeper blushed and said embarrassedly, "Sir, you are joking. Spirit beasts must be tamed to pull carts. How can we have animal trainers in a small place like ours? These big donkeys are just some domestic animals, not spiritual beasts. But don't look at these donkeys as not spiritual beasts, they are strong and run fast. Compared with spiritual beasts, their cost-effectiveness is very high!" The shopkeeper introduced them to Qiu Yan with some boasting.

"Oh! How long will it take to get from here to Xishan City using this big donkey cart?" Qiu Yan didn't care what the shopkeeper said, but just asked the question that he cared about, because no matter whether it was a dragon or a donkey pulling the dragon cart, what Qiu Yan wanted to know most was the speed!

"Two days!" After hearing Qiu Yan's words, the shopkeeper readily stretched out two fingers and said straightforwardly.

"Okay! How much is it? Give me one!" Qiu Yan decided to buy a donkey cart two days after hearing it, because he was very satisfied with the speed of the donkey cart. In fact, even if the donkey cart took the same amount of time as walking, Qiu Yan would still buy it, after all, having a means of transportation would make Xiao Nan much easier.

"Twenty gold coins." After hearing Qiu Yan's words, the shopkeeper directly stated the price. After hearing the price, Qiu Yan did not bargain with the shopkeeper. He directly took out twenty gold coins and handed them to the shopkeeper and said, "Pick a better one for me!"

Seeing Qiuyan take out the gold coins so readily, the shopkeeper smiled even happier. He said "OK" and took the gold coins from Qiuyan's hand, then went to choose a dragon cart for Qiuyan. Qiuyan and Xiaonan stood there waiting for the shopkeeper to choose a dragon cart for them. After a while, the shopkeeper pulled out a dragon cart from a row and walked in front of Qiuyan and said with a smile, "Master, what do you think of this one? The donkey is big and strong, and the workmanship of the cart is also very good."

Listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Qiu Yan nodded and said, "Okay! Let's take this one!" After that, Qiu Yan took the reins from the shopkeeper, then turned to Xiao Nan next to him and said, "Pumpkin, you go up!"

When Xiaonan heard Qiu Yan's words, he didn't hesitate. He just smiled and nodded and got on the dragon carriage.

This was Xiaonan's first time riding a dragon carriage, and she felt very curious. After getting in, she kept looking at the carriage. Qiuyan didn't care about Xiaonan at this time. Seeing that Xiaonan had already sat on it, he didn't stay for long. He said goodbye to the shopkeeper and led the dragon carriage out of the town. After leaving the town, Qiuyan followed the direction he got from asking for directions before and headed eastward towards the main road in the east.

After walking for a while, Qiu Yan saw that there were no more people on the road, so he jumped on the dragon cart and whipped the big donkey's butt. The big donkey felt pain, cried out, and then accelerated forward. Although this was Qiu Yan's first time driving a donkey cart, he often rode on the spirit beasts when training with them before, so he had some experience. So now Qiu Yan didn't feel that he had any difficulty in driving the big donkey cart. The big donkey was indeed running fast, at least faster than an ordinary horse, which also showed that the shopkeeper was not talking nonsense, which made Qiu Yan feel very relieved.

"Pumpkin, this donkey runs quite fast!" Qiu Yan said loudly to Xiao Nan while driving the donkey cart. There was inevitably some excitement in his tone. After all, this was his first time to drive a donkey cart. The feeling was no less than driving a luxury car. In addition, this road was a bluestone road, and there was no bumpy feeling when driving. So Qiu Yan drove the cart for fun.

Hearing Qiuyan's words, Xiaonan poked her head out of the car, and then took a look at the scenery that quickly passed by her eyes. Xiaonan couldn't help but get excited, because this was also her first time riding a dragon car, and the freshness and excitement were really good! "Brother! It's really fast!" Xiaonan said, and sat in the front of the dragon car like Qiuyan, feeling the pleasure brought to her by the speed!

"Well! This feels really good! I think I can make it go faster!" After saying that, Qiu Yan whipped the donkey again. This time, Qiu Yan whipped it very hard, and the donkey ran faster when it felt the pain. The faster the donkey ran, the more excited Qiu Yan felt. So Qiu Yan never stopped whipping the donkey, and kept it running at full speed.

But the good times didn't last long. After Qiu Yan had been driving the donkey cart for about an hour, the donkey's front legs suddenly softened and it knelt on the ground. The donkey's kneeling directly threw Qiu Yan and Xiao Nan, who were sitting in front of the cart, out. Qiu Yan was a great spiritual master, and he could walk in the air. In addition, Qiu Yan's reaction speed was very fast, so when the donkey knelt down, Qiu Yan suddenly jumped out, then hugged Xiao Nan who was thrown out, and jumped into the air and landed dozens of meters away.

At this moment, due to the fall and deceleration of the big donkey, the cart pulled behind the big donkey also flew up due to inertia, and then broke away from the big donkey, turned a circle in the air, and fell heavily to the ground, breaking into pieces.

After Qiu Yan fell down holding Xiao Nan, he didn't care about the dragon carriage. Instead, he put Xiao Nan down and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xiaonan was frightened by this sudden scene and was still in shock, but fortunately Qiuyan protected her so she was not hurt. After listening to Qiuyan's words, Xiaonan shook her head and said to Qiuyan, "I'm fine!"

After saying that, Xiaonan glanced in the direction of the dragon carriage, only to see that the big donkey was lying on the ground, spitting blood and foam from the mouth, and the carriage had fallen apart. Seeing this scene, Xiaonan didn't say much, but just turned his eyes to Qiuyan blankly. After seeing the tragic scene of the carriage being destroyed and the donkey being killed, Qiuyan's expression became a little complicated. At this time, he probably thought about why the big donkey suddenly fell down. After running at full speed for a long time, the big donkey should have been exhausted to death. Thinking of this, Qiuyan also turned his gaze to Zhan Nan next to him. Seeing that Xiaonan was also looking at him at this time, Qiuyan scratched his head awkwardly and asked knowingly, "Pumpkin, was this big donkey exhausted to death by us?"

After hearing what Qiuyan said, Xiaonan glanced at the big donkey that was still spitting blood foam, and said with some pity in his eyes, "Brother, it wasn't us who killed us, but you." After that, Xiaonan turned his head to Qiuyan again, and then said with some complaints, "Brother, you are so old, why are you still like a child, running so fast that the donkey died, what should we do now?"

After hearing what Xiaonan said, Qiuyan suddenly became unhappy. He looked at Xiaonan and said, "Pumpkin, you are wrong! Weren't you very happy when I was driving the donkey before? If you had stopped me at that time, would the donkey have been exhausted to death? Therefore, the death of this donkey cannot be blamed on me alone, we both have a share of responsibility!"

Qiuyan was telling the truth. Xiaonan was indeed very happy just now, so after hearing what Qiuyan said, Xiaonan lowered her head in embarrassment. However, she did not admit her mistake. Instead, she argued, "But I'm still a child. It's my first time riding a dragon cart. I didn't know that the big donkey would be tired to death after running for a long time." Xiaonan lowered her head and spoke in a low voice when she said this. It was obvious that she knew she was wrong but was embarrassed to admit it.

"Are you still a child?"

Qiu Yan was speechless for a moment after hearing Xiaonan's explanation. Although he also regarded Xiaonan as a child, objectively speaking, Xiaonan was already fourteen years old and could no longer be considered a child. In addition, Xiaonan was a person who grew up relatively early. At the age of fourteen, she already had the height and figure of an adult woman. If it weren't for her slightly childish face, she would be no different from an adult.

Therefore, hearing Xiaonan calling herself a child really made Qiu Yan laugh and cry. He looked at Xiaonan, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Although Xiaonan was no longer a child, she was his sister after all, so he should just treat her as a child!

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan sighed helplessly, and then said in a compromising manner, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's think about what to do next!" After that, Qiu Yan looked around, trying to see if there were any people or convoys around who could give them a ride, but unfortunately, there were no other passers-by on this road except him and Xiao Nan, and there were weeds on both sides of the road, so no one would be able to help them.

After Qiuyan finished speaking, Xiaonan did not look around to see if anyone would help them, because since leaving the town, Xiaonan had not met anyone else on this road. In addition, even if someone passed by here, they might not necessarily help them. As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. So thinking of this, Xiaonan said to Qiuyan, "Okay, brother, don't look around, no one will come to help us, let's go by ourselves!"

After saying that, Xiaonan walked straight to the front of the dragon carriage, took out his bag from the broken body of the carriage and put it on his back again, then walked to Qiuyan and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Although Xiaonan said it very straightforwardly, Qiuyan could see that Xiaonan was still a little unhappy at the moment. After all, he could have taken a dragon carriage to Xishan City, but now he could only walk. Not only Xiaonan, but even Qiuyan felt a little uncomfortable with this disappointment.

But even if he felt uncomfortable, Qiu Yan had no other choice at this moment. The big donkey was dead, and he couldn't conjure up another big donkey to pull them! So thinking of this, Qiu Yan could only nod helplessly, and then walked towards Xishan City with Xiao Nan.
