Chapter 161: The Ancient Road West Wind Thin Horse

The remnant sun is like blood, illuminating the ancient road dim and brilliant, as if in this eternal place, dyed with a layer of gold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The aquatic grass is thin, and many of the land are cracked, and when the wind blows, the yellow sand is raised all over the sky.

The west wind is blowing.

Everyone couldn't help but cover their faces.

Fluttering clothes.

When I arrived at a farmhouse, I saw a dilapidated bucket outside the house, and on the other side, a dilapidated horse shed was built.

It is said to be a farmhouse, but in fact it is just a half-collapsed kiln, and half of it is dug on the rock wall, which is not eroded by wind and sand.

Only the outer stables are surrounded by a thick wall, which is not very safe.

Shang Yun and Ma Teng followed the man to the stable, but saw only a thin horse inside.

The horse was red, with a bulging mouth and nose, protruding eyes, and a large skeleton, more than one man tall, but his whole body was skinny and bone-like, and there were rotten sores on his hooves.

When it saw someone coming, it took a step forward and came to the young man's side, which was faintly meant to protect him.

The young man stretched out his hand, patted his forehead, and said softly, "Ah Hong, it's okay." ”

……

According to the young man, the horse turned out to be the one that his father had gone to the Western Regions with a caravan and had exchanged for it in Shache.

"It's a pity that my father's business failed, and after he came back, he died of depression, leaving only this one horse, and my family was in a bad situation, so I had to sell Ah Hong. It is indeed a good horse, I know that you are a member of the flying cavalry, I am afraid that Ah Hong has wronged it here with me, it is better for you to take it away, and it can be regarded as a place for Ah Hong to be useful. ”

When the young man said this, his eyes were full of tears, which made people a little moved.

Now there is only this young man in the family, and his parents are dead, but unfortunately this year's natural disaster and poor harvest have forced him to sell the horse.

If it is really a horse exchanged by Shache Country, I am afraid that this horse has some Dawan blood.

Since ancient times, Dawan has been rich in BMW, and since Li Guangli defeated Dawan, Dawan defected to Shache Country and became a subordinate of it, so the horses of Shache Country are basically good horses.

Shang Yun had a hint of luck in his heart, maybe this horse would be able to get better after raising it for more than a month.

……

Ma Teng stretched out his hand and touched the horse's head, but saw that the horse's eyes were very large, but there was no brilliance, and he did not react to the swing of Ma Teng's palm.

I'm afraid it's a blind horse......

Shang Yun looked at Meng Yao, only to see that the other party was also embarrassed.

The young man's face was crimson, and he was also a little embarrassed.

"Don't look at Ah Hong's eyes, although they are not very bright, but he is a good way, if you buy him, you will definitely not suffer."

This young man is a little unkind, if we don't ask, I'm afraid he won't confess this matter.

Shang Yun's brows furrowed, unwilling to complete the deal.

Looking at Ma Teng's eyes, it also means the same thing.

This horse, blind and thin, is afraid that it will not move and will not be able to run fast, so it can't be taken back and put in the old-age care, right?

It was at this moment that Meng Yao suddenly sighed softly, stretched out her hand, and touched the horse's head.

I saw that the horse seemed to sense Meng Yao's presence, and suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a long neigh, quite restless.

The young man quickly grabbed its reins and calmed it down, "Ah Hong, Ah Hong is good, it's okay, it's okay......"

Shang Yun knew that Meng Yao must have discovered something, and quickly looked back at her.

I saw her smile on her face, and said to Shang Yun, "This horse can be bought, its eyes are a little weird, it's not natural blindness, it may be Danqing's trouble, the things in its body, if it's well enlightened, I'm afraid it's very wonderful, this horse may be extraordinary......"

Shang Yun was overjoyed when he heard her say this.

Seeing that the two of them were not moving, the young man was a little anxious and asked, "What, do you buy it or not?" ”

Shang Yun pretended to hesitate and opened his mouth, "How are you going to sell this horse?" ”

The young man was overjoyed, and said in his heart Is this person stupid, he even wants a blind horse, but he just happened to meet a wronged boss, and it can be regarded as his luck.

"I'm not better than those who don't talk well, and I don't want you much, I heard that you want to buy Old Man Fan's horse with two pieces of cloth, and I will sell them to you with two pieces of cloth."

Shang Yun gasped, but the young man's tone was not small.

Meng Yao said with a smile on the side, "Forget about the two horses for him, when we raise them, I'm afraid that this kid will regret dying." ”

When Shang Yun heard her say this, he put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "Okay, two horses are two horses." ”

Ma Teng was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Shang Yun aside.

"Are you alright? Just this horse? Thin and blind, I don't know if there are other problems, I bought it back, how can I make a difference? ”

He wondered if this young man was sick and burned, this young man was shrewd before, and it was impossible for this young man to do such a loss-making business.

Shang Yun smiled and said, "Uncle Ma Teng, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me, and I will return you a good horse after a month of storage." ”

When he had finished speaking, he took the two pieces of cloth from Ma Teng's armpits.

Go to the young man and give him these two pieces of cloth.

……

The man looked at the horse and said, "Very well, I'll go and prepare it, feed it for the last time, and I'll give it to you." ”

After the previous experience, Shang Yun didn't dare to be careless, so he kept an eye on him and followed him.

I saw that he went to the side and forked some grain and grass, and added a lot of wild herbs, and put them in the manger.

The grain, grass and wild vegetables are so fresh, this man's family is so poor, but he is quite humane to horses.

After making sure that he had fed it correctly, the group led the horse away.

The horse seemed to be very human, and knew that he was going to separate from the boy, so he rubbed his head on him for a long time, unwilling to leave.

"Let's go, Ah Hong, you will have a great future in the future."

When Ah Hong heard him say this, he raised his head and reluctantly left.

……

After walking a few steps, Ma Teng found another problem, this horse took a few steps back, and he was quite dependent on this young man.

Moreover, there is also a bit of a problem with my feet, and I am not very comfortable walking.

Shang Yun also discovered this, and thought to himself, this is good, not only blind but also lame.

It was Meng Yao's face that looked smug and didn't care at all.

"Don't worry, he just didn't eat well, and his feet became a stubborn disease, and he will get better after a while."

Shang Yun was suspicious, led the horse in front, and came all the way to Ma Teng's house.

……

The setting sun stretched the two figures obliquely.

The beauty stared at her eyebrows, her clothes flew up, and she was so beautiful.

She wondered, "Are you sure you have no problem leaving this horse for him?" ”

But I heard the man next to him laugh and say, "A crippled horse, blind, lame and thin." What's the use of taking it? ”

She nodded, chuckling, wondering when she had become so suspicious.

Indeed, this horse is blind, lame and thin, and I am afraid that on this day of intercourse, Ma Teng will be laughed off by everyone.

……

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed wildly, pointing to Ma Teng's skinny horse, as if they had seen a big joke.

Sure enough, just as the two men had predicted, he brought the horse home and within a day it had spread throughout the entire Flying Cavalry.

Countless people came to his house to see the horses.

Even his top boss, Hu Fen's brother Hu Ze, also came here to see the horse's demeanor.

A group of people gathered outside the stable, only to see that the horse was blind, covered with skin and bones, and had sores under his feet, and looked listless.

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone laughed once they saw it.

Hu Ze patted Ma Teng's shoulder and said, "Brother, it's not me talking about you, really, while it hasn't died of illness now, kill it quickly, and you can also relieve your brothers' hunger, and then find another good horse, don't delay your future." ”

Ma Teng's face was blue and red, and he was ashamed of what they said.

And that Hu Fen also added fuel and vinegar, "Since you don't want to be a member of this flying cavalry, it's better to automatically resign as soon as possible, why do you need to make people laugh when it's time to make a difference?" ”

The words of these people were extremely ugly, Shang Yun was unhappy in his heart, and after thinking about it, he rushed out of the house.

Hu Fen was startled and shrank back a little.

"How? Are you going to hit someone? "He had suffered a loss before, and he knew that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in this house, so he didn't dare to be careless, but he didn't want to lose the battle.

Shang Yun smiled slyly and said, "How dare I, you are all famous generals in this Longxi County." ”

The Hu brothers, who were praised by him, although it was a little strange, felt quite comfortable in their hearts, and their faces couldn't help but have a hint of pride.

Shang Yun said again, "Since you all say that this horse is not good, why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?" Hu Ze's eyes rolled and asked suspiciously.

"Just bet a month later, when the time comes, will this horse pass the test and be worthy of a war horse!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Isn't this young man asking for trouble by gambling with such unfounded things?

Hu Ze couldn't breathe with laughter, patted his chest and said, "Ouch, it's just this broken horse, it's really laughing at me." ”

He smiled, his face gradually turned cold, stood up, and said, "Say, what are you going to bet on?" ”

Shang Yun sneered and said, "Kneel down and admit your mistake!" If you lose, kneel down and admit your mistakes, and call us grandpa, if we lose, it will be the same. ”

"Good!" Hu Ze shouted, his eyes were cold, and he didn't smile and said, "I'll give you a month, and when it's time to make a difference, see how you kowtow and admit your mistakes!" ”

Hu Fen said again, "Not only that, but I also want to add one, whoever loses, will drill under the opponent's crotch!"

"Good!" Shang Yun said sharply, "One word is a certainty!" ”

……

After everyone left, Ma Teng finally had some opportunity to ask himself what he had been wondering.

"Shang Yun, are you really sure?"

Shang Yun was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm not completely sure." ”

After speaking, he glanced to the side, whether this is sure or not, he can't look at Meng Yao.

I just hope that this spirit doesn't trap itself.

When Meng Yao saw him look over, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't answer him, but just turned around and entered the house.

……

When Ma Teng heard Shang Yun say this, he couldn't help but cry out bitterly, his chest was depressed, he was stunned, and he didn't know what to say about Shang Yun.

let out a sigh, and said in his heart, this kid is also kind to me, I can't let him suffer, when the time comes, when I do this kneeling and kowtowing, I still have to bear it myself, and I can't say that I want Shang Yun to go away and avoid the limelight.

He made up his mind, so he laughed and beckoned Shang Yundao, "Let's eat." More on that later. ”

After Ma Teng finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and entered the house.

I only heard that Xiao Ma Chao was already hungry and impatient, and he shouted, "Eat." ”

……

Shang Yun's heart was gloomy, and he looked back at the stable.

It just so happened that the thin red horse was also raising its head, and although he knew that he could not see, he always felt that this horse was quite spiritual, and knew that he was looking at him.

Na Hong snorted and raised her head.

It paced a few steps forward to the courtyard, close to Shang Yun.

I saw the moonlight elongate its shadow and cast it on the ground.

This shadow is very smart, faint, and has a kingly atmosphere.
