115 Galloping horses
Chloe's whip flicked, and the horses under her galloped quickly, like arrows from the string, and she couldn't help but stand up, leaning forward with her upper body, as if to merge with the horses, and even with the breeze, drawing a magnificent neon on the verdant grassland.

Although Chloe's expression could not be seen, she burst out with a strong youthful vitality, dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off, and even the golden sunlight was eclipsed.
The horses galloped, and the cattle suddenly stirred, and then followed Chloe's guidance and swarmed in one direction, and Cole, Edward, and others, who were standing in the distance, spread their arms and made strange noises in their mouths, preventing the cattle from deviating from their tracks, and driving them towards the small area next to them.
The cattle ran, the scene was so spectacular that even the ground began to shake, and their running was not as smooth and light as the horses, but a little more clumsy and heavy, "boom, boom, boom", and the thunderous sensation made people return to the previous stormy night, as if the ground would be trampled at any time, and then collapse out of a big hole.
The speed of the herd was naturally not as fast as Chloe's, and Chloe was seen flying through the herd, leaving only a faint tail dust, and then boiling and surging in the turbulence of the herd, and more than thirty herds smoothly entered the fence gate.
Then I saw Chloe pull hard with both hands, the horse's front hooves raised high, and then landed, quickly turned around, the horse's tail drew a graceful arc in the air, the horse's toned and elegant muscle arc tightened to the extreme, a sharp brake, a sharp turn, and successfully completed the U-turn. Chloe straightened up, slowed down slightly, and landed back on her horse, a big smile bursting out in the sunlight.
The sassy and heroic posture is dazzling, and people can't take their eyes off it.
"How's it going?" Chloe said as she looked at Lu Li and said from top to bottom.
Although Lu Li was also sitting on the back of the chestnut, he had to raise his head when he stood at the bottom of the hill, and then he saw Chloe bathed in light, and he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't hide his surprise, "This is the first time I know that horses can still have such a role." ”
Although Cole said before that in fact, some horses are naturally good at herding sheep, and they can also play a miraculous role when driving cattle, but Lu Li himself has not experienced it himself, and today is the first time, which is indeed quite spectacular.
"Then try it out for yourself today. Chloe said cheerfully, "It's not that difficult, you're a good horseback rider now, aren't you?"
Lu Li smiled dumbly, but he didn't refuse, he wanted to try it, it looked very interesting and quite exciting.
Lu Li bent down, hugged the neck of the chestnut, and patted it gently, "Man, it's going to be up to you today." We used to just take a walk, but today we are going to work, and now it's time to test whether we are cowboys!"
Chestnut seemed to understand Lu Li's whisper, kept kicking his front hooves, and even roared excitedly twice, that eager appearance made Lu Li laugh out loud, and stroked Chestnut's neck, "Good guy, then let's play!"
Lu Li raised his head, looked around, and saw that the cattle were scattered in different parts of the grassland, some were walking leisurely, and some were grazing with their heads down, as if they were enjoying the beauty of the afternoon - it was estimated that this was their afternoon tea.
Lu Li clamped the chestnut's belly between his legs and shouted, "Up!"
The chestnut accelerated in response, running wildly on the wide land, Lu Li's legs were forced, supporting the whole person to stand up, his legs were slightly bent, his back was straight, but he kept parallel to the horse's back, and his hands pulled the reins hard, the speed of the chestnut became faster and faster, faster and faster, in a trance, as if the whole person was integrated with nature, regardless of each other, the wind whistling in his ears made Lu Li's whole person take off, and he wanted to shout happily.
However, Lu Li did not enjoy this relaxed freedom, but tugged at the reins, adjusted the direction, and rushed in the direction where the cattle were, the cattle were suddenly frightened, and then fled in all directions.
Lu Li was a little dumbfounded—shouldn't they run in the same direction?" but Lu Li didn't panic, he pulled the reins, and went around in a small circle, the sound of galloping horses' hooves made the cattle run in the other direction, and then he quickly chased after the herd, and sure enough, the cattle ran in a straight line.
However, the chestnut grew faster and faster, and soon overtook the herd, and went hand in hand with them, as if standing in the tide of ten thousand horses, as small as a speck of dust, propelled forward by the raging torrent, and at the same time as a gust of wind, which poured into nature with the raging wind. The subtle pleasure of opening all the pores of the body is refreshing and exhilarating, which is absolutely unprecedented.
The speed continued to increase, and the chestnut soon overtook the past, leaving the herd behind, and the eye could catch the chaos and noise of the cattle galloping, but then it was swallowed up by the wind and dust, and in the blink of an eye, only a thick green, a large area of green, was selflessly displayed.
It's really exciting.
Lu Li realized that he should be like Chloe, immediately hold the reins, and then turn around with a sharp turn and stop handsomely. But...... He couldn't control it, the whole person seemed to rush out all the way along with the inertia, he couldn't stop at all, and rushed all the way to the oak forest, and finally, Lu Li slowed down the chestnut's speed, and finally braked sharply and stopped at the edge of the woods. However, it was too late to turn around.
Holding the chestnut, he slowly turned around. This turn is not handsome at all, nor chic at all, but like an old man, and then Lu Li saw Cole and Edward, and drove the cattle into the area one after another, but Chloe was standing next to herd, smiling, especially when she saw the embarrassment on Lu Li's face, she laughed heartily, not giving Lu Li face at all.
Lu Li guided the chestnut, walked back again, raised his head to look at the situation there, and was about to ask, when he saw Ke Er turn around and give Lu Li a thumbs up, "Fourteen, yes, really good." ”
Immediately afterwards, Edward and the others also turned around and applauded Lu Li, which made Lu Li a little embarrassed, he spread his hands speechlessly, "If you want to laugh at me, then just laugh." ”
Cole stepped forward and laughed, "It's okay, Fourteen, don't be so demanding. You did really well today, you can see for yourself. ”
Chestnut took Lu Li and continued to walk, returned to Chloe's side, and then saw that a large number of cattle had entered their captive area, only fifty or sixty were still scattered outside, and the pace of running gradually slowed down, and after the panic just now disappeared, they began to eat grass leisurely again, and they looked like they had no heart and lungs, and after repeating it twice, it was estimated that they could gather them all.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Li's mood couldn't help but soar slightly, "What should I do next?"
"We first divided the herd into two groups, and then confirmed them one by one. That's the quickest way to do it. Cole explained, and before he could say hello, Edward and the others had already walked in and started to get busy.
Lu Li laughed, "I thought everything was mechanized now, so there would be a faster way." But now it seems that sometimes, we have to follow tradition. “
"Haven't you seen the news before?" Chloe's eyes showed a hint of playfulness, "how do ranchers distinguish between sheep in Scotland?"
Lu Li shook his head, looking dazed.
"They paint their flocks in different colors, some red, some green, some orange, and even the color of the Scottish check. Chloe's words made Lu Li's eyes widen, and she looked incredulous, Chloe nodded, "What I said is true. In this way, their flocks are mixed together and can be easily distinguished. ”
"But, in this way, won't the wool be unusable?" Lu Li said in confusion, not very understanding.
Chloe blinked, "Sheep are also divided into those who specialize in wool and those who specialize in providing mutton, and the wool of those sheep is not of much value. ”
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and made up the flock of sheep under the hillside, not a clump of white clouds, but colorful, that kind of cottage local atmosphere is really difficult to describe - no, the pasture is originally a village, so the sheep are originally a local atmosphere, so how to describe this?
"Hahahaha. Cole's laughter made Lu Li sober up, looked up, looking at Cole's hilarious appearance, Lu Li realized that he seemed to be being played by Chloe, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of a reason, "What, what's wrong? Could it be that what you said was a joke?"
Chloe also laughed loudly, she didn't speak, obviously happy, only Lu Li was confused, this feeling was really depressing.
In the end, it was Cole who stopped laughing first, "No, Chloe is telling the truth. In Scotland, there are really ranchers who spray paint their flocks, and they even make the news. Lu Li became more and more puzzled, "But this is only occasional, only a few ranchers, or for festivals, tourism promotions, etc., they will dye the sheep." Otherwise, most of the time, the flock is still white. ”
Lu Li also realized his mistake - it was indeed too exaggerated to say that all ranchers were like this, and like Cole, it would make sense. "Ha, then in the future, should we also paint on the herd, test our artistic ability, and avoid such a situation next time, and things will not be so troublesome. ”
"Ability to draw?" At this moment, it was Cole and Chloe's turn to be dumbfounded, and they had to admire Lu Li's brain-opening, "Uh...... Or don't you?" Chloe felt the corners of her mouth twitch slightly.
