Cluck, cluck, cluck

On a verdant, flat, endless prairie. Two horses, one white and one red, one in front and one behind, galloping north under the blue sky and white clouds!

On the backs of the two horses sat two young men, a man and a woman.

The woman rode a white horse, with a radiant and heroic face, skillfully driving the white horse, and throwing off the red horse behind her for a long distance.

The man rode a red horse, probably with limited riding skills, and appeared stiff when sitting in the saddle, and his wobbly sitting posture was very wolf-like.

"Hey, Miss Three, wait for me!"

Ma Lie's surname is Ma, and it is the first time to ride a horse when he grows so big. It's not the wooden horse I rode when I was a child, and it's not the kind of 'horse' I rode on the bed, but I really rode on a fierce horse.

Fortunately, he is relatively smart and his skills are not bad, Lu Xueyan only taught him to ride for ten minutes before he learned it.

It was also the first time he had come to the distant prairie, and he had ridden on a high head and galloped freely, which felt more refreshing and exciting than riding on the highway.

At first, it was new and exciting. However, as the fierce horse continued to gallop and bum, after holding on for half an hour, Ma Lie's ass began to be unable to withstand it. Nominally riding a horse, but in fact it is about a bump on the back of a horse.

Lu Xueyan is only sixteen years old this year, and she has the soft and charming face of a Jiangnan woman, but she has the bold and unrestrained nature of a northern woman.

The white horse riding under her almost merged with her, and when she heard Ma Lie's call, as soon as the reins were retracted, the white horse obediently slowed down.

Ma Lie was able to lie on the horse's back, rushed to her slowly, and said bitterly: "Third Miss, what kind of ranch is it, and how far is it to get there?" ”

Lu Xueyan glanced at Ma Lie's wolf bèi sitting posture, and couldn't help but smile: "Hehe, there are about fifteen kilometers left, can't you run?" ”

"Fifteen kilometers to go."

Ma Lie was about to collapse, he still had balls in his buttocks, and he was bumpy and choppy along the way, some of them were numb and painful, and he really couldn't stand it.

They set off early in the morning from Lujia, Beiyang, drove for three hours in a row, and came to a small town called Xinhe, 300 kilometers away.

It is said that this town is the closest residential settlement to Fengyun Ranch. However, the distance from the town to the ranch is about 30 kilometers.

Fengyun Ranch is a garden ranch built by the Qing Dynasty royal family, which is very rich in flora and fauna, and has pure natural grasslands and large forests.

After the liberation, Fengyun Ranch was strictly protected by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and turned into a pure natural protected area, as well as a high-end tourist attraction.

Ordinary people are not qualified to go in and play, the six families are rich and rival the country, naturally they are not ordinary people, but it is a trivial matter to hold an activity in Fengyun Ranch.

Since there are no roads, horseback riding is the most convenient and fastest way to get to the pasture.

Ma Lie and Lu Xueyan rested in the town for a while, bought a dry food to eat on the road, and then rented two horses in the local area and ran for about half an hour.

Carefully calculated, it just ran a dozen kilometers. If it was bumpy for another half an hour, when he arrived at Fengyun Ranch, Ma Lie would be half crippled if he didn't die.

He just wants to take a break now, and he is afraid that he will be looked down upon by Lu Xueyan.

After all, a young lady can insist, but a big man is tired and tired, and the gap is too huge.

Lu Xueyan saw his predicament, reined in the horse's head, and asked casually, "Do you want to rest?" ”

"Uh, no!" Ma Lie faced his scalp and said, "Third Miss, I'm a little hungry, can I eat something before leaving." ”

"Okay, take a break!"

Although Lu Xueyan often rides horses, he is just a daughter. After running for a while, he felt tired, so he dismounted and took a black bag off his horse's back.

"Whew!" Ma Lie breathed a sigh of relief, almost rolled off the horse's back by falling, and then lay flat on the grass and gasped for breath.

"Ma Lie, catch it!" Lu Xueyan took out a roasted sweet potato from the bag and threw it at Ma Lie.

"Thank you"

Ma Lie raised his hand to catch it, and found that it was a sweet potato, and there was temperature on it, and said with a sullen smile: "Third Miss, you are a daughter, you actually eat this thing?" ”

"Miss Qianjin is also a human, why can't you eat it?" After speaking, Lu Xueyan quickly peeled off the sweet potato skin, opened her mouth and took a big bite: "I like to eat this authentic sweet potato, what about you." ”

"I don't like it very much!"

"Why?"

"I used to eat it when I was a child, and I got tired of it!"

"Oh, I can't eat if I want to, and Dad never buys it for me!"

Seeing her eating sweet potatoes, Ma Lie could see it. In his impression, anyone who is a child of the six major families, even a side child. What they eat, what they eat, what they live in, is nothing but luxury.

But after coming to Beiyang, Ma Lie suddenly found that the Lu family was very different from the other five families. The Lujiazhuang where they live now is still an old mansion built by their ancestors two hundred years ago. The people of the Lu family are also dressed very ordinary, and luxury things are very rare.

Just yesterday, Ma Lie saw with his own eyes that Mrs. Lu's dress, although it was not simple, it was not much different from the level of a normal family.

Now seeing Lu Xueyan actually eating the sweet potatoes that the people often eat, Ma Lie was really surprised.

This Lu family is indeed different from the other five families.

Lu Xueyan found that Ma Lie's gaze was swirling on him, and immediately pulled out a dagger from the tall boots he was wearing, and asked vigilantly, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Nope!" Ma Lie was frightened, hurriedly withdrew his doubtful gaze, took a bite of the sweet potato with the skin, and said with a light smile: "Third Miss, you are very special!" ”

Lu Xueyan nodded and said, "Thank you, but everyone is like you, they all say that I am special!" ”

Ma Lie suddenly remembered Lu Xueling and said, "The three sisters of your Lu family are all very special. ”

Lu Xueyan asked, "Really?" Do you know my second sister? ”

Ma Lie said in a humble heart: "Well, I've seen it, it's a friend."

"My second sister, isn't it weird?"

"A little"

"Where's the eldest sister?"

"It's sassy!"

"What about me?"

"You're weird and clever."

"Well, there is no other word!" Lu Xue's beautiful eyes were tactful, and she noticed something for a while, and suddenly stood up and stared back.

"What's wrong?" Ma Lie learned her to look behind her, and found that a kilometer away, two red dots were rapidly approaching this side, and said in amazement: "Someone is coming." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Xueyan nodded and analyzed: "This place is usually very desolate, and under normal circumstances, no one has set foot here at all. Seeing that their horses are the same as ours, they must have been rented. ”

Ma Lie suddenly said: "Could it be that they are on the same road as us?" ”

"It could be an acquaintance!" After Lu Xueyan finished speaking, he dropped the sweet potato in his hand, and jumped on the horseback easily in a chic turning posture.

Ma Lie didn't have the skills of her, so he had to climb on the horse's back with difficulty, frowning, "You're going to hurry again?" ”

Lu Xueyan said: "Well, I haven't been to Fengyun Ranch either, if they are on the same road, we will go with them." ”

"It turns out that you don't know the way, so you still brought me here!"

"What's the matter, I bought the map, what are you afraid of?"

"Maps are not the same as real scenes!" Ma Lie smiled dumbly and said, "If they don't go to Fengyun Ranch, we have the possibility of getting lost?" ”

Lu Xueyan said: "Well, in this boundless prairie, you can distinguish between east and west, north and south, and you have the ability!" ”

As they spoke, the two red horses in front of them galloped towards them. Ma Lie clearly saw that there was also a man and a woman sitting on the two horses, both of whom were young.

When the two horses were approaching, the handsome man with a flying spirit immediately glanced at Lu Xueyan by chance, then grabbed the reins and greeted happily: "Miss Lu, why are you?" ”

"Young Master Kong, we're lost!" Lu Xueyan also recognized the handsome young man, who was Kong Qihan, the ninth son of Kong Hanlin. She hurried over and beckoned, "Hey, where are you going?" ”

Kong Qihan smiled and said, "Of course we are going to participate in the hunting conference, and you must be too." ”

Lu Xueyan said depressedly: "Nonsense, if you don't go to the hunting conference, who will have nothing to do to come to this ghost place." ”

"Let's go together!" Kong Qihan threw the reins, and the fierce horse was in pain, and immediately threw his legs and ran forward.

The long-haired woman who came with Kong Qihan was about to follow, and accidentally glanced back at Ma Lie, felt familiar for a while, looked at it twice, and exclaimed curiously: "Hey, aren't you the former son-in-law of the Hang family?" ”

Ma Lie didn't say anything, but turned his head to look around.

"Hey, the former son-in-law of the Hang family, why don't you speak?"

Ma Lie listened to it with a twist, and reminded: "Ahem, miss, it's best not to mention the word 'before'!" ”

"Hehe, then what should I call you!"

Hearing the conversation between Lu Xueyan and the man, Ma Lie guessed that the other party was from the Kong family. Needless to say, he didn't have any good feelings about the people of the Kong family.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ma Lie kept turning his head to the side, not wanting to be seen by the surname Kong. Who knows, the surname Kong didn't recognize it, and the woman next to him was wrong, it seemed to be a man.

Because, that person's voice is low, not male or female, and he is dressed very femininely.

At a second glance, Ma Lie actually recognized Huo Jun, who he had seen when he went to Kong's house to attend Kong Hanlin's 60th birthday, Kong Hanlin's godson.

At that time, Huo Jun and Lu Xueling got together.

It was because of his unmale and female dress that Ma Lie had some impressions of him.

Kong Qihan, who had not been far away on horseback, heard the conversation between Huo Jun and Ma Lie, subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and also recognized Ma Lie.

He immediately turned the horse's head, drove the horse to Ma Lie and turned around for half a circle, and mocked: "Yo, I said Ma Lie, you don't seem to have a part in this hunting conference!" ”

The people of the Kong family are really every good thing. I just met, and I can't wait to come over to show my superiority. Ma Lie smiled silently, mainly because he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party
