Chapter Forty-Three: Sweat and Blood
Sitting in the spacious two-horse carriage peacefully, opposite Qin Feng, who was leaning on the wall of the carriage with his eyes slightly closed, and Xiao Yan, who was holding the script and watching it with relish, Xie Ning didn't want to disturb the silence in the car, and when he was bored, he reached out and lifted the corner of the silk curtain to enjoy the scenery outside the car.
After passing through several bustling streets, I unconsciously turned into a suburban road, and I saw an open paddock with the shadow of horses in the fence.
"Lord Wang, the horse farm has arrived."
The carriage stopped steadily, and the sound came in without a trace, Xie Ning looked at the sleeping man opposite, even if it was covered by the shadow cast by his eyelashes, it was not difficult to see the two dark blue under his eyes, sighed silently in his heart, glanced at Xiao Yan, and lifted half of the silk curtain by the window.
This slight movement really attracted a traceless voice that had been waiting for a long time. Catching a glimpse of the gray shadow that teleported to the window, Shainin poked his head out of the car and shook his head at him.
Without a trace, after returning a look to Shainin, he left the carriage and turned around and entered the racecourse.
"Ahem," after about a pillar of incense, Qin Fengren had not yet woken up, and a few light coughs overflowed from his throat, and after a while, he slowly opened a pair of black eyes, his gaze naturally fell on Xie Ning, and his voice was a little hoarse when he first woke up, "But it's here?" ”
Xie Ning nodded, "It didn't take long to arrive, let's sit down for a while before going down." ”
"It's okay," as if seeing Xie Ning's intentions, Qin Feng happily hooked the corners of his mouth, got up and got out of the carriage.
"Ziyue, just leave as you say." Reluctantly put down the notebook in his hand, Xiao Yan complained as if it was true or false, and also got out of the car.
"With so many things, I really don't know why you have to come here." Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Yan lightly, and without waiting for him to reply, he stretched out his hand to help Xie Ning, who was about to get out of the car.
The moon-white sleeves that caught the eye, it seems ordinary, but there is a hidden streamer when you look closely, even if you don't know the goods, you can also see the preciousness of this fabric, this moon-white brocade that doesn't know the value of geometry, I think that only the fairy-like character in front of me can wear it, in order to set off the style.
"Ziyue? What do you mean by that? ”
Xiao Yan let out a cry of surprise, and Xie Ning suddenly realized that this move was inappropriate. Although she regarded Qin Feng as a friend, the other party was still a noble prince after all, how could he help her get out of the car in front of others. It's just that the other party is also kind after all......
Without too much entanglement, Xie Ning turned sideways to avoid Qin Feng's support, and jumped off the other side of the carriage with a light tap on his toes.
His gaze swept coldly over Xiao Yan's face, Qin Feng withdrew his outstretched arm and looked at Xie Ning casually, "Let's go." ”
"Haha...... "Okay," Shainin chuckled uncomfortably and walked towards the stable, quickly forgetting the episode. Xiao Yan, who stopped speaking out because of Qin Feng's warning, was not as "big-hearted" as her, and deliberately fell behind these two people, and the speculation in her mind gradually took shape.
Xu is because there is no trace of the party, there are no idle people waiting for people in the racecourse, only a middle-aged groom is guarding the stable, as soon as he sees them in a group of four, he opened the fence and greeted him, "Four please." ”
This row of stables is divided into seven houses, each of which raises horses of different colors and breeds, not all of which are famous breeds that are difficult to buy, but most of them are strong. Hearing the movement of their approach, the herd of horses, which had been eating with their heads bowed one after another, almost unanimously raised their heads.
Xie Ning stood in front of the first house, looked at it, and had roughly identified the good and the bad, and knew it in his heart, so he turned his head very confidently and pointed to the horseman: "This horse, this horse...... And this one, take it out and take a look. ”
The groom led the six horses pointed out by Shainin to the open space in front of the house, Shainin looked closer, nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand again, "I don't want this one, and the rest will be left." ”
She was a little puzzled by her method of choosing horses, and after Xiao Yan and Wuxian glanced at each other, they came to Xie Ning and asked, "Sister Xie, how can you tell the quality of these horses?" ”
Seeing his curiosity, Xie Ning smiled and said to solve his doubts: "This selection of horses, one is to look at the posture, you look at these horses, they are all ears and eyes, teeth are even, and ribs are clear, this is a good horse." Second, look at its habits, neither grumpy nor too amiable, the two are suitable. Third, look at the gait, the most important thing is smooth, and fast and slow are only second. ”
Qin Feng looked sideways at the girl who was talking about it, and it was not difficult to distinguish the look of confidence in her flying eyebrows, and her heart was unconsciously pulled by her expression, rippling with layers of intertwined joy.
"I see," Xiao Yan nodded with a teachable expression, his gaze wandered repeatedly between Qin Feng and Xie Ning, and said with a smile: "Sister Xie, go on." ”
***
In less than an hour, Shainin had already selected twenty-eight horses. According to her plan, at least thirty horses should be selected, and seeing that it was not early, she did not stop her steps and walked to the last stable.
"Huh?" Looking at the situation in the house, Xie Ning's eyes tightened, and a sound of surprise gently overflowed from his throat.
Qin Feng glanced at Xie Ning without a trace, and it wasn't until he caught a glimpse of her suddenly constricted pupils that he was sure that he hadn't missed it, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”
Xie Ning shook his head, his eyes did not take his eyes off the house, and he looked at the jujube red horse not far away who was eating leisurely, and there was a very fast heartbeat in his chest, clenching his hands, and he couldn't suppress his excitement.
She has heard and seen in the army since she was a child, and she has studied Soma a lot, although she has not seen many good horses, but she may as well distinguish the advantages and disadvantages. The jujube red horse in front of him is a divine horse that can travel thousands of miles a day!
Following her gaze, Qin Feng noticed the extraordinarily leisurely jujube red horse, and after thinking about it for a while, he glanced at Xie Ning again, and under Xiao Yan's unclear eyes, he raised his hand and said falsely: "Take the jujube red horse out and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Xie Ning's eyes lit up, his eyes moved away from the jujube red horse, and he said to Qin Fengle: "What the hero sees is slightly the same. Brother Ziyue and I have the same vision. ”
Qin Feng looked at the smart look in her eyes, smiled slightly, and did not make a sound. The intimate interaction between the two fell into Xiao Yan's eyes, but his face sank, and he let out a sneer that was not light, "Heh." ”
Hearing this, Qin Feng frowned suddenly, and he didn't care about being discovered by Xie Ning, so he swept a warning look at Xiao Yan.
Without missing Xiao Yan's laughter, Xie Ning looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart - could it be that his own words made him feel unhappy? Xiao Yan acted informally, so he shouldn't lose his temper because of this.
The scene was embarrassing for a while, the jujube red horse had been led in front of them, and after secretly looking at everyone's expressions, the groom spoke to ease the atmosphere, "You are really experts, this chasing wind is the best horse in our horse farm, it can travel thousands of miles in a day, and it can run eight hundred at night, it is a sweat and blood horse that is difficult to find in the world!" ”
