Arthur looked at the clothes scattered on the ground and felt a little depressed. It seemed that he could only walk next.
But how can a man say no and it won’t work?
In order to reduce the pressure, the horse's luggage was Arthur's change of clothes, including the silk top and pants he wore in King's Landing.
After all, if you are going to the capital, you still have to maintain some dignity.
But these clothes are now lying quietly on the ground, letting the rain get wet.
His personal servant Mei Dan immediately got off his horse and ran over to clean up.
Desmond, who was walking in front, also stopped and turned back to check the situation.
"Whoever is thinner will ride on the same horse as Mr. Arthur." The trainer of Riverrun shouted loudly.
A clever follower immediately responded: "I can, I'm lighter."
Arthur rejected the proposal: "I'd better carry the hammer and Shuoyue. The two together are very heavy, and if they are shared with other horses, they will fall down."
"As for the poor pony, let him lie here."
Arthur still felt a little sorry for the horse. When he came ashore, he specially picked a red horse, just to match the family crest of his golden shield and red horse.
"Gentlemen, it looks like you are in trouble. Can I help?"
At this moment, an old farmer drove a carriage by. He saw the group of nobles and their entourage standing in the rain, and asked aloud.
"Hey, what a coincidence you came here, we need your car." Patrick said cheerfully.
"Draw this lord to your village, take us there too, and give you a silver deer."
The old farmer jumped off the bullock cart, walked to the red horse's head that was still foaming, looked at it, raised his head and said: "This horse is just tired and has lost its strength. It can be saved slowly. You have to leave it here."
?"
When Arthur heard this, he immediately thought: "Your bullock cart looks very big. Can it pull this horse besides the two of us?"
He is a kind and friendly man who, when circumstances permit, takes care of the animals that serve him.
The old farmer looked at the red horse and said hesitantly: "My cart can pull it, but it's just not easy to get it onto the cart."
Seeing that Arthur intended to take the horse away, Desmond suggested: "Gentlemen, there are twenty of us. Together, we can get this poor thing into the oxcart."
Arthur handed the hammer and the meteorite sword Shuoyue to his servant Mei Dan, then wiped the rainwater from his hands and said, "Do you still need your help? I can carry it up alone."
Seeing that these people were very easy-going, the old farmer didn't care what he said: "It's already this time, Sir, please stop being so showy and let them come together, otherwise it will rain for a long time in vain."
Although Desmond also knew that Arthur was born with supernatural powers, he was not optimistic that he could lift the horse alone. He dismounted and ordered: "It is better for everyone to get on together and dismount to help Mr. Arthur."
The attendants got the order and dismounted one after another.
But apparently Arthur was one step faster.
He squatted next to the red horse, holding one hand under the horse's neck and reaching under the horse's belly with one hand.
Then his legs and hands exerted force at the same time, and he suddenly picked up this huge creature, walked a few steps quickly, and slowly placed it on the bullock cart.
Although the bullock cart is large, it can only keep the torso of the red horse on the cart, while the four hooves and the horse's head stick out of the cart board.
The old farmer looked at Arthur blankly, his mouth wide open and speechless.
Desmond and the attendants also widened their eyes. They knew that Arthur was strong, but they did not expect him to be so strong.
This is a mature horse, and it was picked up like this.
Is this something that human power can do?
"What are you doing standing around, let's go quickly, we're still wet in the rain!"
Arthur reminded the shocked gang, then took the sledgehammer and Shuo Yue from Mei Dan and jumped to the front of the oxcart.
Everyone also reacted. With emotions such as shock, doubt, admiration, etc., those who should get on their horses got on their horses, those who should get on their cars got on their cars, and the team set off.
Along the way, even though it was raining, the old farmer continued to express his surprise and admiration.
"Honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that anyone could pick up a horse."
Arthur ignored the old farmer's nonsense and asked: "Does your village have a hotel?"
"A hotel? That's a new thing that only exists near the King's Road. We only have our own home."
"Then it looks like I'm going to trouble you." Arthur touched his belly and didn't know what delicious food the villagers had.
After they left Harrenhal yesterday morning, they traveled a whole day and night to get here, and they hadn't eaten anything since morning.
According to his own feeling, every time he adds some strength, his appetite will always increase greatly.
And if it’s a day of strenuous exercise, you tend to eat more.
So now he wants to eat something good, preferably beef or mutton, but also chicken and goose.
Forget about trout, the most common meat for farmers in the riverlands is trout, and he is already tired of eating it.
Add some meat and fry it over low heat. The pure aroma of the meat will make people salivate.
It would be better if there are millet pepper, garlic powder, vinegar or something for dipping.
There is a slight spiciness on the tongue, plus the sourness of the vinegar, combined with the mellow flavor of the meat, oh, so delicious!
The heavy rain comes and goes quickly.
Unexpectedly, when they just arrived at the old farmer's village, the rain stopped.
"It's really unlucky." Desmond smoothed his hair.
"New rain washes away old dust, Geely." Although he was soaked all over, Arthur liked the rain quite a lot.
He took out a silver deer from his money bag and threw it to the old farmer.
"This is what was promised to you. Now go mobilize your villagers and find us some clean clothes to change into and some meat. We are hungry."
The old farmer took out the money from Arthur and kept staring at the silver deer. At this time, he said happily: "Okay, my lord. What kind of meat do you want? There are chickens, sheep, fish, and dogs in the village.
You choose, they are all fresh and fresh, and the price is based on the market price, what do you think?"
Arthur was very satisfied with this service attitude, "Then kill two lambs and get seven or eight chickens. You can decide on the staple food. Go quickly."
The appetite for twenty adult men is quite large.
The old farmer drove the ox cart to the center of the village, then jumped out of the cart to find the village chief.
The others also found a dry place, dismounted and waited.
Arthur moved the red horse down so that it could lie down more comfortably.
After it calmed down for a while, it was able to open its big eyes and its belly was heaving. It looked like it was recovering well.
"This village is quite wealthy. There is a stone wall outside, and dozens of families live in stone houses." Patrick expressed his opinion.
Desmond couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't look at whose territory this is. Can the He'an family have the ability to come here to collect taxes? They don't have to pay taxes, so they will naturally be rich."
Patrick agreed with this view and added: "What's even better is that it's only three or four days' ride from King's Landing, so you don't have to worry about bandits at all."
Arthur was not in the mood to discuss these, he was worrying about what he should take next.
After all, we have to go on a journey today, but this horse will not be able to stand up in a short while.
PS: Please give me recommendations and monthly votes.
I have a holiday tomorrow, so I can start working on the geographical introduction to Game of Thrones that I have been working on for a week.
