Chapter 160: Horseshoe

After another five days, more than 200 injured horses with yellow ribbons were healed, plus 300 injured horses with red ribbons that had recovered well, and were sent back to Mojia Village, leaving only more than 80 horses in the entire Mofu Province, including the most seriously injured horses, for final treatment.

With four hundred horses missing at once, Mojia Village suddenly became much cleaner, and Fu Bo rinsed the Mofu up and down with clean water three times in a row, and the smell that shrouded the Mofu dissipated.

"Whew!"

Merton took a heavy breath of fresh air, and the smell of horse odor in the past few days almost smoked him to death! Even if the neighbors don't complain, even he can't stand it.

"Rinse the front of the gate again, and you can't leave a little smell." Merton examined it carefully, and said uneasily.

"Yes, young master!" Fu Bo responded, and immediately commanded a few Mojia villagers to repeat the purge again.

After Merton finished his order, he came to Ma Ji in a leisurely manner.

"Herod!"

As soon as Merton arrived at the horse, the shadow chirped excitedly, and his hooves kept beating.

After Merton's unremitting efforts to replenish it, coupled with the fact that the injury on the horse's hooves has almost healed, the originally emaciated Shadow has recovered its former divine steed, and the original thin body of the horse has gradually gained muscles, and the withered yellow coat color has gradually become shiny.

In Ma Ji, there are still more than 80 injured horses, all of which are headed by peerless horses, and the former horse king has recovered a few traces.

"Okay, don't worry!" Merton reached out and touched the head of the horse, reassuring him who couldn't wait! ”

Jueying affectionately rubbed his head on Merton's hand, and the recovery training of Jueying in the past few days has been carried out by Merton himself, and the tacit understanding between the two is full.

"Add half a portion of forage and water!" Merton instructed that in a while, Merton would have to conduct recovery training for the Absolute Shadow, and not eat too much.

"Yes, young master!" A man from Mojia Village, who was taking care of the injured horse, answered the road, picked up a stack of grass from the cart behind him, put it in the manger of the shadow, and added two scoops of water.

Jeopardy chirped happily, bowed his head and chewed heavily, sneezing from time to time.

There are a lot of horses in Chang'an City, and there are many places that specialize in planting forage for horses.

Soon, Jeom was full of food and drink, and Merton stepped forward to untie the cable and pull it out.

Tie An stepped forward to help put the saddle on, and the absolute shadow who had not put on the saddle for a long time was very uncomfortable, and the restraints on his back were restless!

"Phew!"

Merton snorted, softly reassuring.

The restless shadow slowly calmed down, after all, it was a good horse that had been trained, and quickly adapted to the saddle on its back.

In the center of the clearing, there are a lot of horizontal logs, which are used to train these injured horses, after all, some of the injured horses are too badly injured, even if they are lacerations, and sometimes, the hooves are also seriously damaged.

After walking three laps, Jueying walked slowly with some impatience, kicking his hooves from time to time!

Merton smiled slightly, saw that the time was ripe, glanced at the horse rope, stepped on the stirrup, and jumped on the back of the shadow.

"Drive!" Merton snorted! The Shadow immediately trotted along the clearing, his body unusually athletic.

After two trotting laps, Merton rode the Shadow to a crossbar, and after a short run, the Shadow leaped over the beam in a graceful gesture.

"Good! The young master is mighty! Tie An patted his ass on the side and shouted.

Merton smiled proudly, he didn't expect that happiness would be sad, and when the Shadow landed, he obviously stumbled, and Morton hurriedly hugged the neck of the Shadow Horse to avoid a disaster.

"Young Master!" Tie An was shocked, and hurriedly ran over to hold the Absolute Shadow.

"What's going on?" Merton disembarked from the back of the Shadow with palpitations.

Merton tied the shadow to the stake, lifted the front hooves of the horse, and found that it was not the two injured hooves, but the uninjured ones.

"It's so worn, this horse is probably useless!" Li Chengqian's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Ahh Brother Gao Ming, why are you here? Merton raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Chengqian, who had not appeared for a long time.

Tie An hurriedly saluted, Mofu already had a tacit understanding, if Li Chengqian arrived, the number of etiquette should be sufficient, but it could not be said that Li Chengqian's identity was broken.

So far, Li Chengqian's identity is only known to a limited number of people.

"I heard that you made a windfall and came to fight the autumn wind!" Li Chengqian quipped.

"Really? Which one you like, pick whatever you want, and give it to you! Merton said heartily.

With Li Chengqian's identity, he has never seen any good horses, of course Merton will not take it seriously, the two of them laughed and joked, and suddenly the estrangement that had not been seen for a long time was reduced a lot.

"What a handsome horse, it's a pity!" Li Chengqian looked at the shadow of the divine horse and said regretfully. He also had a good horse, which he loved very much, but because his hooves were worn out excessively, he was eventually abandoned.

And the shadow is not only the torn hooves of the horse, but also the front hooves are badly worn, and there is no problem when I usually walk, but when I crossed the crossbar just now, it was obviously hit by a hard lump on the ground.

However, it is not only the Shadow that has this problem, these five hundred injured horses have similar problems, after all, one horse is not injured once or twice, but is the result of daily exertion.

"What then?" Tie An exclaimed. Almost all of the remaining 80 or so horses have wear and tear problems, and the most serious ones are only a thin layer of cuticles, which hurts the horses as soon as they leave.

"Hey! There is no way. Li Chengqian lamented that the imperial horse supervisor in the palace at that time thought of many methods, but it was useless, unless these horses were idle for a year or two, and his horse's hooves were ready.

"Ahh Idle for a year or two? Tie An shook his head, the cost of raising a horse is not a small number, not to mention that there are more than eighty horses at this time, if you raise them for a year or two, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

"Young Master, what should I do?" Tie An asked with a frown.

"Easy to do!" Merton blurted out.

"Ahh Tie An was stunned for a moment.

Li Chengqian looked at Merton with a calm face in surprise, and suddenly said, "You kid must have already had a way, didn't you?" ”

Merton smiled mysteriously, deliberately selling Guanzi.

"Speak quickly!" Li Chengqian said angrily, if Merton really has a way, then his beloved horse can be reactivated.

"Actually, it's very simple!" Merton deliberately adjusted Li Chengqian's appetite.

"Simple?" Li Chengqian didn't believe Merton's words at all, the secret technique of the live fish was very simple, it was just to inject air into the water, and as a result, many people in the entire Chang'an City did not guess it.

The method of sewing wounds is also simple, but who would have thought that sewing a wound would be like sewing clothes. Wounded horses for thousands of years have cheapened Merton himself.

And now Merton is saying simple, maybe it's really simple, but it's definitely unexpected.

"Since the horse's hooves are worn, it is enough to put shoes on the horse!" With a wave of his hand, Merton thought of the great invention that had already existed in this world, the Roman horseshoe.
