Chapter 66 Is Her Donkey Full Moon?
Li Yaoguang remembered that outside the East City Gate, there was a row of houses and shops along the city wall, including the coach inn.

The official roads out of the capital were all dirt roads, which were not convenient for the balance bike to drive on, and she was reluctant to spoil it, so it was safest for the bike to charge safely in space. She planned to go towards the east city gate and find a big carriage shop to buy a carriage. She was going to return to the east anyway, and the carriages would carry a lot of people.

In the quiet night, Li Yaoguang walked along the city wall and around the moat to the outside of the East City Gate. He followed his memory and found a carriage shop. He finally knocked on the door. The shopkeeper suddenly laughed when she heard that her son wanted to buy a carriage.

"Kid, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, do you have money to buy a car? Or a horse carriage? Ha! I see you are young, so I don't blame you for waking me up in the middle of the night. Go away, if you want to stay in a hotel, I will take care of you. Otherwise, go wherever you want."

The shopkeeper's wife yawned and urged him impatiently. Li Yaoguang couldn't stand it and felt that he was being looked down upon because of his young age. Without saying anything, he simply took out a silver note and opened it for the man to see clearly.

Seeing that the boy was really rich and that one hundred taels was more than enough to buy a carriage, the shopkeeper's wife stopped abruptly and expressed her impatience by putting on a flattering smile, being extremely attentive.

"Oh, I can't believe that you are so capable despite your young age. Come in and take a seat." Then he shouted into the room, "Where are the guys? Where have they gone? Hurry up and serve hot tea to our distinguished guest!"

Their store provides a resting place for small business travelers and ordinary people traveling in and out of Kyoto. Ever since the emperor left the capital, their business has been bleak. However, they suddenly received a large order two days ago, and sold all the few carriages in the store.

She was just happy that her business was improving, but in the blink of an eye, Kyoto City was closed. The ghosts in their area were so idle that they could beat people to death, and her mood became very irritable.

Finally, a business came to her, but it turned out to be for a carriage. She had some money, and she wanted to earn it, but unfortunately...

The shopkeeper's wife pushed the hot tea hastily brought by the waiter towards Li Yaoguang and smiled very attentively.

"Drink tea, sir."

Li Yaoguang couldn't afford to delay, so he pushed the tea bowl aside and said, "No need to drink tea, Madam Shopkeeper, I'm in a hurry. Does your shop have a carriage? If so, and if the price is right, I'll buy it and I'll have to hurry. I can't afford to delay."

"Haha, well..."

"Why? You don't want to sell it?"

The shopkeeper's wife kept shaking her head and waving her hands.

"No, no, look at what you are saying! It's just that I don't know what happened a few days ago, a lot of guests came out from the capital and bought the carriages in my carriage shop. So it's not that our shop doesn't want to do business with you, but that we have no carriages! Even the last two mule carts have been rented out."

The shopkeeper's wife felt sad in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would not have been afraid of the end-of-year backlog and would have bought a few more cars. She was afraid that these strange people would buy them even if the price was high. This man, at such a young age, came alone in the middle of the night to buy a car, and he wanted it so urgently. Could there be something wrong?

Li Yaoguang looked at the other party's cautious expression and became more and more unwilling to stay any longer. Since there was no one there, she would just leave. She didn't believe that there was only one big carriage inn outside the city.

When the other party saw Li Yaoguang was about to leave without saying anything, he became anxious and hurried to stop him.

"Hey, my dear sir, please don't be anxious. Since you want to buy a carriage overnight, it must be urgent, right? Although our shop has no horse carriage or mule carriage, we still have another one. Do you want a donkey?
Since you are a small person, why don't you buy a small donkey and ride it to travel? To be honest, small donkeys are good, small donkeys are wonderful, not only are they cheap, but they also save on fodder.

And I'm not saying this, sir, but right now, not to mention my store, even other big carriage stores around here are probably like mine, with nothing in them!

My dear guest, I pity you because you are young. It is not easy to run errands in this cold night. Don’t end up working in vain and not buying anything. What do you think? "

She thought this woman was quite clever and could talk.

But a donkey will do. I don't know how to drive a cart anyway, so I'll have to learn after I buy it. I'm traveling alone now, so I might as well ride a donkey. After thinking about it, I nodded.

"Take me to see the donkey first."

When the other party heard this, there was a flash of discomfort in his eyes that Li Yaoguang didn't even have time to notice, but he still took her to the backyard. When she followed him to the barn with the electric baton in her hand, she saw that the little donkey was really small, just like the ones Zhang Guolao and Afanti rode. It was cute, but... "Is it full moon?"

The shopkeeper's wife froze when she heard this, and then she giggled tenderly.

"Hey, sir, that's not right. This donkey is just that kind of thing. It looks small, but it's actually very strong. It's also very obedient. You're small and not very tall anyway, so isn't it just right for you to ride it?"

Li Yaoguang heard the other party's words that were obviously teasing him for being short, so he resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He looked at the empty barn and sneered, "Madam Shopkeeper, don't look down on me because I'm young. I'm not stupid. I'm afraid this is the only donkey you have left that you can't sell, right?"

What a smart kid!
Although she was hit on the point, the shopkeeper's wife remained calm and said, "Haha, seeing what you said, sir, I am sincere and don't want you to pay a high price. So, I will give you ten taels of silver. Is that a bargain?"

"Ha!" Li Yaoguang decisively took the banknote in his hand, secretly transferred five taels of silver from the space and spread it out in his hand, "Five taels, sell it if you want, if not, I'll go ask someone else."

Li Yaoguang was about to leave if he didn't agree with anything. Thinking about the recent poor business and the fact that the donkey's mother had been sold, and that this donkey was still picky and stubborn, he immediately snatched the five taels of silver from Li Yaoguang's hand and waved his hand, "Deal."

Just like that, Li Yaoguang used five taels of silver to buy a small donkey that was only as high as her chest, and asked the other party for a bit, reins, cushion and a series of supporting items. This damn smart guy even asked for two taels of silver from her.

Without this thing she couldn't ride the donkey. In order to hurry on her way, Li Yaoguang had no choice but to pay. However, she didn't let the other party take advantage of her and insisted on taking a large bag of dry food for the animals.

The shrewd shopkeeper watched her donkey carrying a large bag of black beans and going out the door, and she kept crossing her arms and sneering at Li Yaoguang's greed. However, she had no idea that after they walked far away and could no longer see the lantern swaying in the cold wind behind them, Li Yaoguang decisively collected the donkey's rations, climbed onto the donkey's back swiftly, and was ready to run away with a shout of "go".

Then... with a "click" sound, Li Yaoguang felt dizzy.

The damn stubborn donkey was actually thrown to the ground by her.

The bag was fine just now. Could it be that it knew that was its own food?

Li Yaoguang refused to believe it and turned over again, then landed on the ground with a thud again.

After several attempts, Li Yaoguang couldn't help cursing even though he had a good temper. No wonder the other party was willing to sell it even after he cut it in half. It turned out that the other party was still a stubborn donkey!

What to do? It's impossible to abandon it, and it's even more impossible to lead it away.

Having no choice but to take out an apple that she had stored from the space, Li Yaoguang stroked its mane very gently and negotiated with the stubborn donkey in a nice tone. After she made a series of humiliating conditions, the little stubborn donkey pawed its hooves, shook its head, and ate her sweet and sour apples with a grunt, and also ate half a bag of black beans with salt, and only then did he not give up.

With a helpless sigh, he patted the stubborn donkey's head, hung the electric baton on his waist where he could easily take it off, and put a case on his cell phone and hung it on his chest;

Thinking about the ancient times, it was different from the modern times. In the winter, it was still unsafe to travel at night even if we were close to Kyoto. To prevent wolves and other wild animals, the crossbow arrows given by Brother Gao were expanded and placed in a place where they could be easily reached.

Then he put a kitchen knife on his waist and took out a light frying pan from the space and hung it on top;
Li Yaoguang climbed onto the donkey, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and pinched the donkey's belly, feeling very heroic.

"set off!"

When they actually rode on the donkey's back and galloped against the cold wind, Li Yaoguang, sensing the sinister meaning, quickly found his cloak and put it on, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

Fortunately, she bought a small donkey instead of a tall horse, otherwise, with her little experience and no knowledge of riding a horse, she would not be able to control it. Unlike now, everything is just right.

　I have a little stubborn donkey, I ride it late at night...
