Body dividing line-
Although Mo Ye didn't come to this courtyard to find Xiaocao, it was a fact that Xiaocao hadn't come back since he left the Song Mansion in the morning. So for Mo Ye's slightly modified reason, Bai Tao did not doubt it.
When it comes to Xiaocao, Bai Tao has her own considerations in her heart, but of course she won't say it to Mo Ye with this deep meaning.
So she just coped with it indifferently: she is about to get married, and this woman's heart, sometimes even if she is also a woman, the sisters next to her can't figure it out. As soon as she finished speaking, she only paused slightly, and perhaps she also felt that her attitude should be more enthusiastic, so she added: Seeing that this hour is not early, I will send a few family members out to look for her. Although we may not understand her thoughts, it is more comfortable for everyone to sit together and talk than for her to be alone in her heart.
Sister Bai Tao is right. Mo Ye smiled slightly, these things are going to bother my sister again.
If Mo Ye wants to summon those servants in the house, of course, there is no problem, but in dealing with these trivial matters, she is much more rusty than Bai Tao, so she pushed it over. Of course, Bai Tao doesn't really feel that there is any hard work to speak of, this is just a trivial matter, and she has been hosting it since the past.
Bai Tao really smiled and said that it was okay, and then said goodbye to Mo Ye and left with broken steps.
After Bai Tao's figure disappeared into the courtyard of the Song Mansion, Mo Ye had also casually walked around the side and back of the house in front of her, she always felt that in the single courtyard that Bai Tao had just walked out, there must be someone else, and this person was not quite like an acquaintance in the Song Mansion. Bai Tao's explanation, she was skeptical from the beginning, because she really heard the strange voice, which Bai Tao may not have expected.
Stared sideways at the Moon Arc courtyard door for a while. Mo Ye rubbed his hands and hesitated.
What if there really was a face in it that felt completely unfamiliar to me? If there is such a person, then it can prove that Bai Tao is lying, and how should he maintain a balanced relationship with her in the future? If Bai Tao really had to do so much disguise in front of himself in order to meet a stranger, today, which was originally a chance encounter, might go in another difficult direction......
Just as Mo Ye was about to step towards the single courtyard while hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Miss!
Mo Ye was slightly stunned, and when he looked at the voice that came from the shouting, he saw that it was a family member in the house. There was something going on and a little anxious.
Really. Don't wait for Mo Ye to speak. When he just met her gaze, the family Ding hurriedly said: It's the side of the stable, the black horse somehow lost his temper again, and Brother Chen said that maybe only you can restrain it. Please come over.
The dark horse stayed in the Ye Mansion for a few days after the incident in the Foggy Mountain, and was finally led by Mo Ye into the Song Mansion.
Ye Fu has no servants who have raised horses, and it will be a burden for horses to be put there, and the most critical point is that this horse not only recognizes the road, but also recognizes the owner, if Mo Ye does not look at it twice a day, it is very likely to lose its temper. No one can control it. So after thinking about it for a few days, Mo Ye brought it back, the Song Mansion is big, and there is already a stable, and the beans are also ready-made.
But Mo Ye has always been very surprised by this horse. I shouldn't recognize her as the master, but the original master, right?
Wu Shu talked to her about this matter, and the conclusion was that the horse had reversed the direction of the black horse's identification because of the poisonous snake body fluids splashed on her body. Based on this conclusion, Wu Shu believed that the horse was probably the mount of the man who used Mo Ye on the Misty Mountains. For this reason, they also used the advantage of the old horse's knowledge of the road to chase Xiao Song's secret address in the suburbs of Beijing, but in the end they found nothing.
However, even if the matter extends to this situation, it is still undeniable that one day in the future, the horse will still be able to recognize the original owner.
As soon as Mo Ye arrived at the stable, the black horse that was circling in the spacious yard slowed down. Seeing that Mo Ye was about to approach the horse, Yang Chen, who was standing behind a manger, reminded: Be careful of this animal, it almost overturned me just now. I haven't abused it in the past few days, but it doesn't remember, it's blind.
The black horse heard the man's voice and suddenly snorted.
Is it so hard to serve? Mo Ye approached the black horse, and the horse also paused its hooves, quietly watching Mo Ye bend down and pick up the reins that were dragging on the ground.
Mo Ye tightened the reins a little, and when he saw that the horse hadn't run around much, he said again: It doesn't seem to be too irritable.
As soon as her words fell, the horse shook the long horse ear slightly, moved its nose and sniffed at Mo Ye's body, and gradually sniffed Mo Ye's jaw, and a small mark was faintly visible on the white skin, which was a trace of corrosion from a drop of venom splashed when he encountered a group of snakes on the foggy mountain half a month ago.
Ye Zhengming said that this mark will gradually disappear, but it will take a long time. Mo Ye wasn't very worried about this, because even if this mark couldn't disappear naturally, it couldn't be seen without looking closely. She didn't expect that the horse would have eyes that were more careful than a human or a nose that was more sensitive than a dog, and that it would smell it unconsciously.
The air exhaled from the horse's nose was full of the smell of bean feed, and Mo Ye immediately raised a slap and slapped it on the long horse's face, pulling its head aside.
The black horse shook his head, as if he had determined that Mo Ye was its owner, so he didn't continue to sniff. Let Mo Ye hold the reins and lead it back to the stable, and in the process it only raised its head and neighed, as if it was expressing a cheerful feeling.
After tying the reins, Mo Ye reached into the manger and hugged it, and felt that the bucket was enough, so she took off a large brush hanging on the side of the wooden pillar of the stable, and began to comb the black horse. The horse was as obedient as a lying rabbit, standing motionless, and a little like a dog, and even waved his ponytail a few times.
Watching this, Yang Chen had to shake his head, sighed with emotion, and said slowly: I see that you have followed me to learn the method of serving horses in the past few days, and you have learned about the same, the key is that this strong-tempered animal only recognizes you, and you will be able to get started quickly. But...... You're not really going to keep it going, are you?
Mo Ye smiled and said: Look, isn't it actually quite obedient? Dogs and cats are all raised, why can't you raise horses?
Yang Chen smiled bitterly: Horses are very expensive for soy food, and the cost is more than three times higher than that of cats and dogs.
Mo Ye casually said: Then what should I do, if I don't keep it, will I sell it? Sell to others, and then harm others?
It's better than harming me, it's like this, it can't do anything in my hands at all, what's the use of raising it? What's more, the Song Mansion already has horses. Speaking of this, Yang Chen hesitated and paused, and then continued: Selling to others is not necessarily buying and using, isn't it okay?
It seems that after a few days of getting along, Yang Chen also feels that this horse has some humanity, so he didn't say anything too bluntly, but of course Mo Ye can understand it.
Although horse meat is much rougher than pork and does not taste very good, it is also a good food that can be served with spirits when marinated with spices. In some places, men are not used to eating pork, and prefer this kind of chewy.
Thinking that this horse would have to be slaughtered and eaten if it didn't go his way, Mo Ye snorted angrily and said: This is a famous horse with a good bloodline, how can it be so easy...... Ahem, you should always be more patient, sometimes the animals remember the gratitude better than the people.
Speaking of Ma's Zhi'en Tu Bao, Mo Ye thought of some records she had seen in the "Major General's Chronicles". Some of the soldiers who died on the battlefield were seriously wounded on horseback, and they rushed out of the battle formation through the gallop of horses, so that they could save the body of their master and return to their own positions.
There are even some scouts, all the strength and concentration of the horse's feet, galloping thousands of miles to bring back the news.
In people's lives, there will be two kinds of large livestock that are relied on more heavily, one is cattle and the other is horses. Among the livestock, these two are the most laborious. If the farmer has a strong ox and turns the soil deep and fine enough, the harvest of the year will probably not be too bad. For merchants and soldiers, a good horse is definitely a reliable help, and this animal is no less intelligent than a dog, but can do more than a dog.
A long mane on the black horse's neck stood up a little from the roots, and then hung down, making the horse look quite energetic. Mo Ye saw that he liked it in his heart, so he stretched out his hand and brushed it, and said casually: If it doesn't have a little temper, if someone leads it away, then it really has no long-term value.
When Yang Chen heard this, he suddenly said: Wasn't this animal brought back by you gently and skillfully?
Mo Ye was speechless for a while.
At this moment, the black horse, which had been quieted down, suddenly became manic again, the horse's mouth stopped chewing beans, but the four hooves scraped on the ground intermittently, and a pair of horse ears shook in one direction. Obviously, its mania at the moment was not so much like a tantrum tantrum, but something it had discovered.
Yang Chen looked at the horse that was restless again, and a thought came to his heart, so he laughed: It seems that it can't even be smoothed out by you.
No...... Mo Ye hesitated, and before she said what she thought, she first asked: I heard that most animals can hear sounds that people can't hear, is that true?
Yang Chen felt that Mo Ye had something to say, so he put away his joking heart and nodded in agreement.
Mo Ye also took the big brush in his hand, hung it back under the stable, and then said: If there is a thief in the house, in addition to the dog that guards the house, will the horse in the stable neigh? It's just that it's always limited in what it can do.
Yang Chen's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he finally asked: What do you mean by that......-
