"It's so happy, haha, it's so happy, I want to live on the grassland..."
After Zhuang Rui galloped for more than an hour, he slowed down and waited for the arrival of Battelle and others. This refreshing feeling completely wiped away the depression he had accumulated due to the unsuccessful search for the ancient tomb.
"Brother Zhuang, you are not like you. You have traveled forty or fifty miles in an hour, and you don't even know how to understand the physical strength of dismounting..."
The first one to arrive was Battelle, but when he came to Zhuang Rui, Chixue was already breathing heavily. After Battelle complained about Zhuang Rui, he quickly dismounted, allowing Chixue to lighten his load.
Although the red blood contains some sweat-blooded horse blood, it is not pure. After running for more than an hour, it has almost reached its limit.
You know, running forty or fifty miles in an hour is no better than those legendary thousand-mile horses that travel thousands of miles a day. Of course, the endurance is incomparable.
Battelle patted Chixue's neck with pity and told him to relax. When he turned to look at Zhuang Rui who was still riding the horse, he couldn't help but look down and said: "Brother Zhuang, I understand that you have never ridden a horse and want to run faster."
, but now that we have stopped, you have to let Xiaobai relax, eh?"
Prairie people never see others who don't take good care of their horses, but in the middle of what he said, Battle stopped before he could say something unpleasant.
Because Battelle discovered that Xiaobai under Zhuang Rui's crotch, except for being sweaty, showed no signs of losing energy at all. He still held his head high and pawed restlessly on the grass with his front hooves, which was even worse than the red blood.
energy.
Of course, White Horse has spiritual energy. When Zhuang Rui stretched out his right hand, the spiritual energy in his eyes had been continuously injected into White Horse's body.
Even when he was running, Zhuang Rui did not stop using his spiritual energy. This made Baima feel as if his energy was coming out of his body. Therefore, after running wildly for more than an hour, he was still so energetic.
"This...this...what's going on?"
Battle was shocked. He had grown so big, and he had never seen a horse still so energetic after running at top speed for an hour, except of course those wild horses.
"Ah...oh, I've been here for a while, and I just let Xiaobai rest..."
Zhuang Rui secretly stuck out his tongue and rolled off Xiaobai's back obediently. He completely forgot to let Xiaobai show his fatigue. No... Barter saw the clue at a glance.
"You came here seven or eight minutes earlier than me, right? How could you recover so quickly?"
Barter frowned, walked to Xiaobai, reached out to grab the reins, opened his teeth and took a look, but there were more wrinkles on his face.
"He's not eating either. Could it be that the integration of man and horse can reduce the horse's consumption?"
Battle can be said to be a horse fanatic. When he first got Red Blood the year before last, he slept with Red Blood in the racecourse for four or five months. Now that he saw something he couldn't understand, he immediately became obsessed with it.
"By the way, Zhuang Rui, how did you make Xiaobai be so obedient?" After thinking for a while with no results, Battelle thought of asking Zhuang Rui.
"I don't know either, Brother Battle, I have been particularly attached to animals since I was a child. I have an African gorilla, a snow mountain golden eagle, and several Tibetan mastiffs at home. They all obey my words..."
Zhuang Rui had a very innocent expression on his face. The secret of this aura must never be told. He could only make up some lies to fool this simple Mongolian brother.
Xiaobai seemed to be verifying Zhuang Rui's words, and walked up to Zhuang Rui, caressing Zhuang Rui's face affectionately with his big head, and occasionally sticking out his tongue to help Zhuang Rui wash his face.
"No, no, Xiaobai, go play by yourself..."
Zhuang Rui turned the horse's head to one side, dumbfounded. This animal showed affection with the same movement. He had been so affectionate by a white lion many times before.
"Brother Zhuang, you must be a kind-hearted person. Only in this way will you be favored by the animals and receive the blessings of the Immortal God..."
After Barter saw this scene, he racked his brains and finally found an answer that he didn't know was reasonable. However, it had something to do with religion, so it was hard to explain.
"Bad brother Zhuang Rui, why are you running so fast..."
While Zhuang Rui and Battle were "exchanging" equestrian skills, of course, Battle just said that Zhuang Rui was listening, and the people behind them also arrived one after another, but the second one to arrive was Wu Yunqiqige.
"Xiaobai, my Xiaobai..."
Wu Yunqiqige climbed off the horse and ran towards Xiaobai with a cry in her voice. She thought, after running like this for an hour, the horse would not be destroyed by running away?
"Huh? It's okay, brother Zhuang Rui, what's going on? Brother's blood is so exhausted, why is Xiaobai okay?" After hugging Xiaobai's neck, Wu Yunqi Qige also discovered the problem.
"Qiqige, it's like this..."
Zhuang Rui had no choice but to tell the little girl what he had just said to deceive Battle. This time he directly quoted words such as Changshengtian. The little girl nodded repeatedly, and when he looked at Zhuang Rui, his eyes were filled with excitement.
admire.
"Uh, brother, you won't be regarded as a magic stick, right?"
Zhuang Rui felt a little embarrassed when the little girl looked at him, but Timur also arrived at this moment, and he quickly stood up and went to greet her.
"Peng Fei, how is the mare? It suits you well..."
After about five or six minutes, classmate Peng Fei arrived on a yellow dot. This guy looked weak on the horse, which made Zhuang Rui laugh.
"Brother, please save some face for me..."
Peng Fei rolled off his horse with a sullen look on his face, grabbed Barter, and said: "Old man, Qian'er, you lost two of our horses. The best one will be given to Brother Zhuang, and the other two horses will be given to Brother Zhuang."
If it’s important, I’ll pick first…”
Peng Fei lost all his temper after being tortured by Huang Dian. He was afraid of the little girl being angry and did not dare to hit him. His voice was hoarse when he yelled. Huang Dian still had the same speed and almost beat Peng Fei in a leisurely manner.
Fei was so angry that he vomited blood.
Battelle had never seen Peng Fei subdued before. He immediately laughed and said, "Okay, after we catch those wild horses, you can pick one..."
After Zhuang Rui heard what Battle said, he couldn't help but was stunned for a moment. He pushed Peng Fei aside and asked: "Brother Battle, how many wild horses can we catch with just these few of us? Just the harness you brought, isn't it?
Can I only trap one?"
"One is enough..."
Battle said with a smile: "As long as you grab the head of that horse, you won't be able to drive away the other wild horses. When the time comes, they will be kept in a horse farm for a year or two, and then they will be bred with horses from the horse farm.
It’s a horse bred in captivity…”
"Old man, it's not easy to catch the horse king. If you don't catch it this time, I'll go to your ranch to pick it up later..." Peng Fei gave Battle a shameless blow.
Barter was not angry, nodded, and said: "It's really hard to catch. That horse king doesn't look like a Mongolian horse. It's taller than a red blood horse. It looks like an authentic Dawan sweat horse. I'm not close.
Look, I really can’t tell…”
Last time, Battle rode Red Blood to chase the winning horse, but he was so far behind that he couldn't even see the horse's shadow. Moreover, there was only one person around him that time, and he didn't carry much dry food. He had no choice but to return to the gathering place first.
Unless Battle comes back to track the herd of wild horses this time, he still has a certain degree of confidence in capturing the leader.
You must know that although horses can sleep standing up or lying down, the two hours before dawn every morning are usually when the horses are most asleep, and Battle is ready to sneak attack on the herd of wild horses at this time.
"Okay, let's rest for two hours. Let's have something to eat. This place is not far from the mountain col. The wild horses ran away from there last time. There must be traces left..."
Battle doesn't know how far the wild horse will run in the next few days, so it is still very important to maintain the physical strength of his team. He may have to catch up on the grassland for a few days. Don't wait until he catches up with the wild horses.
Everyone was paralyzed from exhaustion.
…
In the evening of that day, Zhuang Rui and others rushed to the mountain col. Sure enough, as Battelle said, there were traces of horses there. Battelle circled around the mountain col for several hundred meters like a hunting dog, leading Zhuang Rui and his party.
Chased on.
Fortunately, it hadn't rained on the grassland in the past few days. The grass gnawed by wild horses and the horse's hoof prints left many clues. By the afternoon of the next day, Battle found traces of the wild horses.
Battle grabbed a puddle of horse manure from the ground, rubbed it with his fingers a few times, and then said: "The horse manure is still hot, they just passed by not long ago..."
"Okay, just tell me how to do it..."
Zhuang Rui got goosebumps from Battle's actions. Although he knew that grassland people often used cow dung and horse dung to make firewood, those were dry. Zhuang Rui almost vomited when he saw this wet mess.
"Set up camp and rest. We can't chase anymore now, otherwise we will scare the snakes. Let's wait until they fall asleep at night and then touch them again..."
Battle knew that horses have very developed senses of hearing and smell, especially those wild horses. Once they feel something is wrong, they will move inside, and it will be difficult to chase after them.
Zhuang Rui looked at the sky and saw that the sun was setting in the west. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you must take me with you when you go at night..."
Afraid that the fireworks would disturb the wild horses ahead, no one made a fire. They ate some dried beef and mutton and drank some water, which was a makeshift meal.
After eating, according to Battle, they needed to take a good rest, so everyone set up their tents and went to sleep.
The vast prairie is silent, and the moonlight shines on the grass rippling in the breeze, as if it has covered the prairie with a layer of glow, which is really beautiful.
"Aww...aoww..." A fierce wolf howl suddenly broke the silence on the grassland.
