take the lamb to school

"It's my friend, sir!" Yi Ling pleaded, "It's very obedient, it listens to me very much, and it will never cause you any trouble."

"Friend? Naive boy, it's just you who think so, isn't it?" The man shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, "In our eyes, it's just a beast. Listen carefully, your two tickets It's a passenger ship ticket, for human use only."

"However, if you must take it with you, I sincerely recommend that you buy another freight ticket."

"Freight ship ticket?" Yi Ling was a little moved, he asked hastily, "How much does it cost to buy this kind of ticket?"

The two men looked at each other and smiled, with contempt written on their faces.

As veteran employees who have worked on the ship for nearly eight years, the two of them have already honed their eyesight.The little guest was dressed in gray and autumn, and he looked like an out-and-out country bumpkin.If it weren't for his handsome appearance, they wouldn't be impatient to tell him so much.

"It depends on whether the thing you are transporting is alive or dead. For dead things, the price is the same as the passenger ship ticket, which is ten gold coins each."

"As for the living creatures, they are more expensive, [-] gold coins each."

"So many!" Yi Ling held Richard tightly at a loss. There were still ten gold coins in the small wooden box, but that was all his net worth.

Even if these ten gold coins are used up, you can only buy one ticket for transporting dead objects.And Richard!He is a living lamb!

"Sir, can't it be cheaper?" Yi Ling looked at them pitifully, "I can help with the work on the boat, I can do anything..."

"Hey, ignorant boy! This is a rule! Do you understand the rule?" The man sneered unceremoniously, "This ship is not ours. If I make it easier for you, we will be beaten. "

Another man stroked his knotted beard, stood aside and said sarcastic words: "Fifteen gold coins is already very cheap, you have to think about it, this is the boat to Minsaru! We have to walk at least Ten days, boy. When your sheep is on the boat, we will send someone to take care of it and feed it with hay for ten days, which is a good deal."

"Is that so..."

Seeing that the two of them remained unmoved, Yi Ling didn't like to force others to make things difficult for her.After all, rules are important.When he went to school in Ailiang, the teachers there also made the children obey the school rules.Children who make mistakes are caught and punished.

He stopped pestering and just stroked the soft, shaggy hair on Richard's neck lovingly.

"I will not abandon you, Richard."

Richard arched him comfortingly, and silently stayed by his master's side.

It's just, what are they going to do next.Are you going back to Aira?

No, Uncle Mike spent such a large sum of money for him. If he knew that the ticket was useless, he would be very sad.What's more, the family was not rich. Yi Ling guessed that two boat tickets and ten gold coins were probably the best things Uncle Mike could give him.He didn't want to upset Uncle Mike any more.

Yi Ling sighed and made a decision in her heart.

——He wants to stay in Moxiang City and earn enough travel expenses here as soon as possible.

God!The God of Light is above!That's a full fifteen gold coins!

"Come and see, come and see! Fresh grapes, folks! Brought in from the south!"

"Miss, ladies! The newest fabrics are here!"

The pier market under the tower is crowded.At night, it is still lively.

Yi Ling was walking here with the flow of people at this moment, his eyes swept over the various shops around him, and he was thinking about ways to make money.

With so many people in the dock market, it may be a good opportunity.He had heard that business was very profitable.At least in Air Liang, the richest people are businessmen.

Doing business, doing business... But he doesn't know how to do business at all, he only knows how to herd sheep.In this market, some people sell exotic fruits, some sell sweet bread, and some sell delicate toys.What can he sell?

He had nothing but a sheep.

Thinking of this, Yi Ling's momentum suddenly became depressed.He stopped and stood there despondently.

A breeze blew by, and he shivered.The nights in the Northland are still very cold.

When he was packing his luggage before, he considered that his destination was the warm Mingsaru, so he didn't bring any thicker clothes except for the fur coat on his body.

And that fur coat... As early as on the way to Moxiang City, he gave it to a homeless tramp.

Now, he too is about to become a homeless man.A homeless man who might freeze to death one night.

Yes, Yi Ling never thought of using the ten gold coins in the box.In his plan, these ten gold coins can only be used to buy boat tickets.

Forgive the naive child.He had just stepped out of Uncle Mike's arms, and was observing the world with his childish eyes.Uncle Mike taught him how to be a human being, Ai Liang's enlightenment school taught him how to read, and this vast world will teach him more things in the future.

Okay, let's talk about the present first.

Right now, Yi Ling has been dejected about making money for a long time.Since he and Richard had been standing still, the already crowded crowd walked around him.

"Son, do you want to sell this sheep?"

The uncle who sold the toys saw the child standing next to his shop, fearing that his business would be affected, he had to tactfully urge him to leave quickly: "You have to go forward, go to the innermost place, that's where you're going, don't let me go." It's stuck here."

"Ah, no, I don't sell it," Yi Ling came back to his senses, and later realized that the uncle's face was not very good-looking. Knowing that he had disturbed him, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, uncle, I'm leaving now."

He turned around and looked around blankly, but he didn't find that anyone had been paying attention to him for a long time.No, to be precise, I have been paying attention to his beautiful face for a long time.

The man followed closely behind Yi Ling, and when he walked a long way to a deserted street, he appeared and called to him:

"Boy."

"The lad with the sheep."

"Do you need help?"

Yi Ling paused, feeling strange in his heart, is this calling him? Who would come to ask him if he needs help for no reason?Did he meet another kind-hearted person like the aunt?

He looked back and saw an old man with gray hair, short in stature, wearing a black cloak.

"What do you want?" The old man hurried over, tugged at his clothes, his eyes glistened, "Money or something else? I can give it to you."

Yi Ling was startled, and took a few steps back, her eyes wary.Richard stood in front, pointing the horns at the old man viciously.

The old man took a few steps back quickly, and spread his hands to show that he was not malicious: "I just want to ask you to do my daughter a favor. As long as you help her, I can give you everything you want."

help?Why is it the other way around?

Yi Ling hesitated for a while, then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Young man, come with me," the old man looked around cautiously, pointing to a red house not far away, "go to my house first, my daughter is still waiting for me to come home."

*

"Here we are. Honored guest, please come in."

The old man pushed open the door, and a veiled girl came up to her, her tone anxious: "Father! Why did you come back!" She glanced at Yi Ling, and hid behind the old man, "This is..."

The old man introduced to his daughter: "Mu Lin, this is a distinguished guest who can help you."

"Help me?!" The girl kept looking at Yi Ling with suspicious eyes, "But he's a boy, father."

Yi Ling was confused and frowned, "Old man, what is it?"

"Don't worry, honored guest, sit down and listen to me."

The three of them gathered around the fire. The old man took off his cloak, revealing his hands. The skin texture on the back of his hands was tight without any wrinkles, which was incompatible with his old face.

"It all started a year ago..."

The old man's name was Marvin Lawson, who was originally a wealthy businessman in Moxiang City. A year ago, he passed by a temple in the suburbs and went in to pray.Unexpectedly, when he came back, he was blocked at the door of the house by so-called angels asking for money, saying that since he believed in the moon god, he would have to pay tribute every other month in the future.

He didn't believe the words of the envoy at all, who didn't know that the miracle of the moon god hadn't appeared for more than ten years.He is not a fool either. No god would allow believers to offer money. It is obvious that someone is using the name of God to satisfy their selfish desires.

He didn't want to obey, and those envoys waved golden light to surround him, and when the light balls dissipated, his face became what it is now.The neighbors said that he had offended the gods, and they no longer wanted to associate with him.

The disaster is far from over here.

"It's not enough that those people hurt my father, they're coming to hurt me again!" Mu Lin pulled off the veil fiercely, and saw a long scar on her cheek, from the corner of her eye to her chin.

Ealing saddened by what happened to the Lawsons: "Did they do it?"

"No! I rowed it myself!" Mu Lin gritted her teeth, with tears in her eyes, but stubbornly refused to shed them, "I will never give in to them!"

Mr. Lawson put his arms around his daughter and explained: "A week ago, angels came to my house again. They said that the moon god took a fancy to Mu Lin's beauty and wanted to invite her to the temple as a guest."

Speaking of this, he smiled sarcastically, "Such a lame excuse! Those people don't even bother to cover up!"

"As soon as they left, Mu Lin scratched her face with a knife. This silly boy! The angel will come to pick her up tomorrow, but her face is ruined. I'm really afraid that if those people get angry, she will even I'm going to lose my life!"

Mr. Lawson firmly grasped Yi Ling's arm: "So, kind young man, I beg you to help my daughter! I am willing to give you all my property!"

Yi Ling stood up, a surge of courage surged forth.

——"In the face of darkness, any righteous person will stand up."

This is the first word of God that he learned as a child, and all lovers keep it in their hearts.

Yi Ling's eyes shone brightly. He clenched his fists tightly, facing the father and daughter, and said, "I don't want your property, Mr. Lawson. You only need to give me fifteen gold coins."

"Please tell me what I can do for Miss Lawson?"
