Early winter in October. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The land of Youzhou is pale and yellow.

"It's a vast prairie, but unfortunately, it's not summer, and the scenery of cattle and sheep is gone, only herdsmen and cattle and sheep migrating south, and some wild animals are busy preparing for winter......"

On the prairie, Zhou Ming, who was riding on horseback, sighed with emotion and felt quite regretful in his heart.

In fact, the sudden outbreak of the Battle of Stone Town was not expected by Zhou Ming, after participating in this war, before and after, delayed him for nearly two months, and the result was that the withered and yellow Youzhou grassland, there was no scenery to see, two thousand miles of grassland, and the group could only rush by.

However, this morning, near Yanshan, Zhou Ming stopped and told Li Dazui to stop and wait in place without making a sound.

It turned out that at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, he found a group of wild horses, this group of wild horses, the horses are abnormal, especially the horse king in the middle of the herd, the whole body is red, the body is huge, the pace is vigorous, the expression is arrogant, just one glance, Zhou Ming knows that this is a thousand miles of horses, one in ten thousand, rare to see.

A voice sounded in my heart: tame it, tame it!

Zhou Ming walked lightly towards the herd of horses.

Seeing a human approaching and a herd of horses gnawing on grassroots, there was a slight commotion.

The king of horses in the middle of the herd also noticed Zhou Ming, the horse's head was slightly raised, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes, and he continued to eat grass unhurriedly.

When Zhou Ming walked less than ten meters away from it, the horse king's gaze became unkind, he shaved his front hooves a few times, turned the horse's head, and his nostrils squirted, aimed at him, and suddenly rushed towards him!

"It's good to come!"

Looking at the horse king who rushed quickly, Zhou Ming applauded loudly, and immediately seized this opportunity, at the moment when the horse staggered, grabbed the mane on the horse's back, jumped hard, jumped on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and in the horse king's somewhat embarrassed roar, one person and one horse, entered the game of conquering and being conquered.

"Hiss law~!"

"Roar~Roar~!"

The King of Horses struggled violently, running at a fast pace, causing violent jolts to knock the humans on his back upside down, sometimes slowing down violently, sometimes raising his front hooves and standing tall and upright, trying to shake the humans off his back.

But......

These moves of the king of horses have not achieved any effect, the humans on horseback seem to be pieces of meat on the body, no matter how you get them, you can't get them down, the unwilling king of horses, has to keep repeating these tricks, hoping that the humans on the back, after the physical strength is exhausted, they have to give up.

Half an hour.

An hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

The king of horses has been running at a high speed for more than 300 miles, and his speed has not decreased, and his physical strength has not yet been exhausted.

Zhou Ming began to be a little anxious, his physical exertion was huge, and he was almost at the limit, and this horse king was still so strong that he refused to give in.

Now it is impossible to tell him to give up taming this horse king, more than three hundred miles away, it will take him at least two or three days to walk back, if he does not tame the horse king, ride it back quickly, Li Dazui and others, who have been anxiously waiting for a long time, will definitely not be able to help but come to find themselves, and this grassland is vast, if you get lost......

"Stop!"

Zhou Ming strangled the horse king's neck with both hands, tightened its trachea, reduced its breathing intake, and at the same time red eyes, let out an angry roar, forcing the horse king to stop.

"Stop!!"

"Stop!!"

The green tendons on Zhou Ming's arms and neck burst out, and he rolled Ma Wangle's eyes with both hands, and when he heard his roar, he kept hissing, but he still didn't give in far away.

"Stop!"

"Ang Lu Lu~!"

I saw Zhou Ming slam back with his hand, and the four hooves of the horse king suddenly stopped, screamed, and fell to the ground heavily, with arrogance in his eyes, and finally revealed a trace of surrender and pleading.

Only then did Zhou Ming let go, sat on the side and gasped for breath, and his heartbeat rate of more than two hundred slowed down, and after a while, his red charcoal-like face returned to normal.

Standing up, the king of horses, who was gnawing hay on the side, took the initiative to lean towards him, rubbed his face affectionately, shook his horsetail, and snorted twice, looking like he was pleasing to his master.

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and touched the horse king's long nose, and said with a smile: "You are red in jujubes, have a strong temperament, run like a tiger, and scream like a dragon, so it is better to call you 'Red Dragon'!"

The red dragon ploughed the grass and nodded his horse's head quite humanely.

Leaning over the horse, Zhou Ming smoothed its mane, patted the horse's back and said, "Red Dragon, go back quickly, don't let them wait too long." ”

"Gray Law~!"

The red dragon raised its horse's hooves and happily headed in the direction it had come, turned around and returned, finally returning to its original place of departure before sunset.

Seeing Zhou Ming, Li Dazui, Chu Jingling and others, who were anxiously waiting, greeted him together, and Chu Jingling threw himself into his arms, knocked on his chest and said, "Lang Jun, I'm worried about death! There are so many wolves on the grassland, if you don't come back, we really have to go looking for you!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not back. ”

Zhou Ming comforted her for a few words, which eliminated the worries in her heart.

……

Mid-October.

Along the Yanshan Mountains all the way to the south, leaving the grassland, Zhou Ming and his party arrived at Shuozhou, the capital of Youzhou Prefecture.

However, in Shuozhou City, through the national liaison staff stationed in Zihua Bookstore, Zhou Ming got a thunderbolt from the blue:

His mother, Cui, is sick and critically ill, and now the servants are looking for him outside, telling him to hurry home or regret it!

"Mother!"

Zhou Ming panicked, shouted, hurriedly returned to the inn, and after saying hello to Li Dazui and Chu Jingling, he stepped on the red dragon horse, took the first step, and returned home quickly!

The red dragon horse galloped for more than two thousand miles for three days, and on the evening of the third day, Zhou Ming, who was in the dust, finally returned to his hometown in Haiping County.

When he entered the room, Zhou Ming was taken aback, his mother Cui Shi was sitting on the edge of the bed eating, and her body seemed to be sick, but judging from her complexion, it seemed that there was nothing serious.

"Mother, I heard that you are sick, very sick, you ......"

Zhou Ming walked over, squatted beside his mother Cui, pulled her arm, checked her pulse, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his heartbeat was slow and powerful, it was fine, it was just a false alarm.

Cui Shi threw aside the bowl and spoon in his hand, glared at Zhou Ming with an angry face, raised his hand and wanted to fight, but saw his son's obviously thin body, and his face became dark under the wind and sun, which was not as good-looking as before, and suddenly rubbed his face, and said with tears like rain:

"My Jian'er! Look at the things you've been doing outside for more than two years, how can you rest assured that your name is Weiniang? Weiniang is scared in your heart! You're an unfilial and rebellious son, you even dare to go to that kind of evil place in the Western Regions, and you even joined the army to fight, and almost took your life into it...... Haven't you considered your mother's feelings in your heart? If something happens to you, what should your mother do?!"

She said angrily and anxiously, and slapped him twice on the shoulder, and said hatefully: "My mother is sick, and if you don't come back, your mother will lie on this bed and die!

Hearing this, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that his mother, Cui, who had always been healthy, was deliberately pretending to be sick and telling him to go home quickly.

However, I haven't seen her for more than two years, seeing that my mother Cui's body has aged so much, I guess she has been scared for more than two years of traveling outside, and she has been scared.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard the news of his mother's serious illness, he subconsciously chose to believe it.

"Mother, hit the child a few more times, it's the child's unfilial piety, which makes you worry! The child will never go out for a long time in the future, just wait for you at home, and I won't let you worry anymore!"

Zhou Ming knelt in front of his mother Cui Shi and assured with a look of self-reproach.

"You're really not going to go far again?"

Cui Shi was overjoyed, wiped the tears on his face, saw Zhou Ming nodding solemnly, hurriedly helped him up, and said extremely distressed: "Jian'er, you are much thinner than two years ago, and you are also dark, and you have suffered a lot outside, right? Also, you have no injuries on your body, right? Take off your clothes and let your mother see, can there be a scar and arrow wound on your body? Silly son, when did your mother ask you to serve the country, you are safe and sound, and you are by your mother's side, and your mother will have nothing else to ask for." ”

As she spoke, her mother Cui's tears fell again.

"Mother, don't worry about the child, the child is fine, there is really nothing wrong with it. ”

Jian'er, since you have come back, you should marry Rou'er as soon as possible, and give birth to a few grandchildren for your mother as soon as possible! Rou'er has been waiting in my Tian family for almost three years, and I can't delay Rou'er anymore...... By the way, my mother will take you to see Rou'er, Rou'er, now the flow is more and more symbolic, and people are also sensible and well-behaved, you will be full of joy when you see her. ”

"Cousin Zihua, are you back?!"

As soon as Mother Cui's voice fell, a surprised voice came from the door.

Zhou Ming turned his head to look, and was stunned, the beautiful woman in front of him who was slim in a pink skirt, behaved generously, dressed decently, with a shy face and bright eyes and bright teeth, was her cousin Cui Rou, who had not seen her for more than two years?

That's too much of a change, isn't it?

However, looking at her face with a little baby fat and the two iconic dimples that were revealed when she smiled, Zhou Ming knew that she was his cousin Cui Rou.

It is a more dignified, mature, and beautiful cousin Cui Rou who is more dignified, mature, and beautiful than two years ago, and is about to become his wife.
