Chapter 320: War Horse Cal
Marin asked people to cellar grass and sprinkle yogurt on the grass, many people did not understand and talked about it. What a good drink www.biquge.info the yogurt of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, sprinkled on the grass, it is simply a loser!
Marin, however, didn't care about the discussions. He can't help it, Marin is not a chemical man, he doesn't know how to engage in feed enzymes, he doesn't know how to produce organic acids, and he doesn't know how to cultivate lactic acid bacteria. I knew that there were lactic acid bacteria in yogurt, or I watched the commercials selling yogurt on TV. Therefore, he can only use yogurt to cultivate lactic acid bacteria.
In this case, although the cost is a little higher, the benefits are huge. If nothing else, silage alfalfa grass is definitely the most delicious and nutritious feed that livestock can eat in winter.
Moreover, silage alfalfa grass can be used not only to feed pregnant English ewes, but also to feed war horses. War horses can't always eat dry, although oats and soybeans are nutritious, war horses prefer to eat fresh and tender alfalfa grass. What's more, after fermentation by lactic acid bacteria, it becomes sweet and sour. And horses like to eat sweet things the most, such as carrots, etc. If you can give the war horse sweet and sour silage alfalfa grass in winter, it is estimated that the war horse will die happily.
However, because it was the first time to make silage alfalfa grass, Marlin didn't know if it would be a big success. Therefore, not many silage cellars were built. This year's silage of alfalfa grass is only enough for the pregnant British ewes. Even if there is a little more, a small number of horses will be supplied at most.
Of course, as Marin's mount, Karl the War Horse is definitely entitled to eat silage alfalfa grass. Carl has been with Marlin for about 15 years, and as is customary, he is almost old enough to retire. Marlin also planned to let Carl rest, after all, Carl had reached the middle and old age of horses.
Therefore, Marin planned to let Carl retire in the stables of the royal palace and arrange for someone to take care of him. After all, after fifteen years with him, the relationship is still very deep. When it's okay, Marin will still visit this old fellow, and maybe ride out for a walk. However, when you are in a hurry or fighting, you will no longer use Karl.
Although Carl was a little more colorful, he saw that the mare couldn't run, but he was still very human. Seeing the reluctance in Marin's eyes, Carl seemed to feel something, so he arched Marlin with his head very affectionately to show affection.
"Hey, old man, I can't bear to give you up. However, you're too old to accompany me on the field anymore! ”
Although he couldn't understand what Marlin was saying, Carl still sensed Marlin's low mood. So, while gently arching Marlin with the horse's head, he also stuck out his tongue and licked Marin's face.
"Okay, I'll take you out for a ride again!" Marin called the guards, mounted his horse, and went out of the city to inspect the silage cellars of the alfalfa grass.
There is something unusual about Carl today, he seems to be quiet, as quiet as a mare. Even, when he saw a few mares passing by, Carl did not chase them, but looked back at his shovel officer, Marlin, from time to time.
A good war horse is not only good at galloping, but also good at communicating with people, and can communicate with the owner. After fifteen years of staying with Marin, Carl still has a deep affection for Marlin, although he is a little out of tune.
In the stable just now, Carl felt a strong sense of reluctance from Marin. And this feeling is often present in Carl himself. Every time Marlin returned from an outing and tied Carl to the stable, Karl was always reluctant to leave. But today, this aura also erupted from Marin's body, and it was even countless times stronger than Carl's own reluctance. Therefore, Carl feels that he may be separated from his master for a long time in the future.
Therefore, Carl is extremely quiet today, and he runs very hard. When I couldn't hold on after walking a long distance, I didn't stop like usual, but gritted my teeth and continued to run.
However, Carl also realized that his physical fitness had indeed begun to decline. So, after he couldn't run, Karl looked up to the sky and hissed, his voice full of sorrow, completely devoid of his usual spirit.
Marin turned over and dismounted, hugged Carl, who was covered in sweat, held back his tears, and comforted:
"Don't worry, old man, I won't want you. You will remain in the palace stables, and I will visit you when I have time. ”
"Also, I've picked out a new mount. It's the child of a mare you forcibly pushed down, it's 4 years old, and it's a great lad. As for the name, I also chose it, and I called it Carter......"
This visit became a trip for Marin and Carl to be old friends. In order to take care of Carl's fitness, the team stopped and stopped along the way, and it took several days to inspect several farms of silage alfalfa.
In the evening, while resting at the manor, Carl refused to live in the stable, but instead bit Marin's clothes and refused to leave. So, Marlin simply let Carl into his resting room, and Marlin slept on the bed, and Karl stood quietly aside......
When he woke up in the morning, Marlin was woken up by Carl's big tongue. Marin was not annoyed, but said gently:
"Old man, we've known each other for ten years, and it's the first time we've rested in the same room."
By ten years, Marin refers to the ten years since he crossed over from 1494, not including the five years that his predecessor, Marin and Karl spent together.
During these ten years, Marin fought in the north and south, and spent most of his time on horseback. It can be said that in the past ten years, neither Angela nor the old Hoffman have spent as much time as Carl and Marin together.
Even, after opening his eyes in this world, the first living thing Marlin saw was Carl who was grazing on the side. By that time, the former Marlin had starved to death, and Carl stayed quietly and graze, without the slightest intention of leaving, until Marin crossed over and opened his eyes.
Strictly speaking, the old Hoffmans were not as close as Karl to Marin. Because, strictly speaking, the old Hoffmans are just the parents of this body. And Marin's soul is still far from them. This is also the reason why, after Marin became an earl, did not arrange for the old Hoffman and his wife to live in the palace, but built a luxurious mansion in the east of the city for them to live in.
Of course, there is also the reason why Marin is afraid to stay with the old Hoffman every day and find out that he is a Xibei goods. After all, a person's parents must know their children best. Although Marin "has received the guidance of Daxian", his habits in life have changed too much, and he is too different from his predecessor. Therefore, Marin has always been busy, in addition to competing for hegemony to realize his ambitions, he also has the intention of avoiding staying with the old Hoffmans for too long.
Even now, Carl and Marlin are no less close than Marlin's wife, Angela. There are some words, such as the secret that he is a time-traveler, Marin is impossible to say to Angela. Carl, however, could. Of course, Carl didn't understand it, and he couldn't say it if he knew.
Upon his return to Aurich, Marin instructed his men:
"Find a few mares and lock them in a yard with Carl!"
The parting was sad, so Marin decided to find a few beautiful mares for Carl according to his preferences, so that Carl could fall into the gentle countryside and forget the pain of parting for a while. Didn't those mercenaries also rely on alcohol and women to heal the wounds of war in their hearts......
