The emperor's first-class concubine

Chapter 293 Little Donkey
There is no moon at night, and the clear night is wrapped like black velvet with the occasional and scattered trees.The leaves on the branches have thinned and look like feathers, motionless in the windless night.

Tong Yu led the way with a small lantern in his hand, and the faint light was only enough to illuminate a distance of one meter ahead.

Mu Qianxue was a step behind Tong Yu, with a blanket on her head and her hands on her chest, which not only kept her warm, but also covered her bloated figure.

As long as you don't meet someone with a heart, at best they will think that she is a fleeing famine.

Coming out of the mass grave, Tong Yu planned to try his luck in a nearby village.

During the day, when he went shopping for food, he once saw a small donkey tethered in the yard of a farmer's house. When there was no carriage to travel, it would be great to have a little donkey.

However, when he proposed to buy the little donkey, the woman of that family could not make the decision, saying that her man would not come back until evening, and if he really wanted to buy it, he would come back after dark.

This mountain village is desolate and desolate, with one family on the east and one on the west.Some are among the bamboo groves, some are among the pines and cypresses, and some are under the old saponins trees beside the road. Almost no two houses can be connected next to each other.

Along a winding path like melon vines, before Tong Yu and Mu Qianxue approached, a big black dog raised by that farmhouse barked viciously.

Tong Yu stopped Mu Qianxue, afraid that she would be startled by the dog, "Wait for me here."

Mu Qianxue gathered the blanket covering her head, answered "OK." Then she turned slightly and began to observe her surroundings.

A simple courtyard with three earthen huts in the courtyard, some years old, with green moss growing on the eaves.

Tong Yu walked to the half-person-high courtyard wall made of stones, and lifted the lantern to shine inside.

The black dog whimpered twice, then hid with its tail between its legs in a small shed on the west side full of farm tools and rotten firewood.

The door of the middle room was pulled open, and a dry and emaciated peasant woman in a floral skirt with a blue background ran out.

As soon as the peasant woman saw Tong Yu, she smiled all over her face, and asked, "Master, you want to buy a donkey, right? Just in time, my man just came back, so I'll tell you to go."

Tong Yu nodded, and said lightly, "Thank you."

The peasant woman turned her head three times and reluctantly entered the back room. After living for so many years, she had never seen such a good-looking man.

After a while, another thin and muscular man came out of the room. He had narrow brows and small eyes, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and two high and sharp cheekbones. He was not a good match by any means.

At the door of the house, the peasant woman stretched her neck and looked out.

The man seemed to have eyes behind him. He cursed rudely and scared the woman back into the room before walking to the door.

Without even opening the courtyard door, he sized up Tong Yu through the courtyard wall, and then cast suspicious and cunning eyes on Mu Qianxue, and then, with five fingers wide open, the lion opened his mouth and made an offer. .

Tong Yu didn't respond, and directly took out the silver to pay the bill.

The man took the money and weighed it a few times before slowly leading the thin little donkey out of the yard.

Mu Qianxue got on the little donkey, and Tong Yu led her, and the two gradually walked away along the rugged path.

But behind them, there was a pair of greedy and cruel eyes.
