Chapter 14 Horse Market
Coming out of Jingluo Mansion, it was still early, thinking that they were about to fight in the Western Army and had no mounts to use, Wang Lun and Wang Jin planned to go around the horse market in Yan'an Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
found a pedestrian on the street and asked the direction of the horse market, and Wang Lun and the two walked towards the horse market.
Yan'an Prefecture is located on the border, but it has a large population, not only Song people, but also ethnic minorities in the border. People come and go, carrying burdens, pushing carts, carrying grain, selling vegetables, and shopping. When Wang Lun and the others came to the horse market, they only heard the endless shouts of the livestock market, one after another, and the voices of the people were boiling. From afar, some people pointed fingers, leading to bursts of shouting and laughter from time to time.
Wang Lun and the others walked straight there, and saw a red-maned horse that was too tall and as red as coals was tied among the three poplar trees. A big black man was lying on the ground a foot away from the horse, grinning and baring his teeth, but he couldn't get up. After listening to what the person next to him said, it turned out that he was riding the red horse and was thrown down.
An old man with crane hair and a childish face, holding a horsewhip in his hand, was asking the big black man: "You didn't hurt your bones, did you?" It's as hot as fire, I said you can't ride, you still don't believe it, this time you know how powerful it is! ”
The big man grinned in pain, slowly got up, paused for a while and said, "I just got on the back of the horse and fell off, I can't ride your horse, and others don't want to ride it!" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Not necessarily, I don't believe that with such a big Yan'an Mansion, there is no hero who can stop it!"
Wang Lun listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the horse carefully. tall body, similar to the color of the coat, and there is not a single stray hair; four hooves, like copper pillars; two brass bell-like eyes; The ears resemble bamboo sticks; Raising his head and screaming, it shook people's hearts.
After Wang Lun saw it, he couldn't help but praise: "Good horse, what a good horse!" Then Wang Lun turned to Wang Jin and said: "My brother must go into battle in the Western Army, and it is not possible to go without a good horse, so it is better to go forward and give it a try." ”
Wang Jin listened to Wang Lun's words, his heart was itching, and he was eager to try. But before the king could speak, another man jumped on his horse. The horse was jumping and jumping, so he was not impatient. I saw that the horse immediately stood upright, kicked his hooves back, shook his buttocks, and threw the man out of the way.
When the old horse seller saw this, he was overjoyed and asked, "How did you fall?"
The man was in good shape, stood up, and limped a few steps. Turning his head and frowning, he looked at the horse and gritted his teeth and said, "This horse is such a bastard!" ”
In the northwest, martial arts prevail, and there are many people who know horses and horses. Another man saw the horse's extraordinaryness and jumped into the air. But as soon as he tried to grasp the reins with both hands, the horse fell on his stomach as if he were mad, and his hind hooves jumped up and kicked back, and the man was thrown out like a sharp arrow, and he did not get up for a long time.
injured three people in a row, and now everyone knows that this horse is fierce and not easy to mess with. There are many people inside and outside, but there is not a single one who dares to step forward.
"What a horse!" Wang Jin sighed, stepped forward, hugged his fists and asked, "Uncle, is this horse for sale?" ”
The old man looked Wang Jin up and down, stroked his beard and said, "Of course it is sold!" But who can tame it, I don't want a penny. If you are injured or killed by a horse, you don't care about old decay! ”
Wang Lun didn't expect that this old man was still a strange man, and he gave the horse away if he could tame the horse. Wang Lun pointed at Wang Jin and said to the old man with a smile: "Don't worry, my brother will make a move, and you will send this horse." ”
When the old man heard this, he re-examined Wang Jin, and said with his chin bowed: "Okay, good! BMW with heroes! ”
Wang Jin hugged his fist at the old man and said, "Don't worry, old man, if you surrender this horse, you will definitely pay a lot of money." ”
Wang Jin was not in a hurry to ride a horse like others, but untied the reins of the horse and led it for two small circles. Then he took some barnyard grass and green beans from the hand of a groom, and fed the horse for a while.
Just like getting along with people, getting closer to the horses first, which is something that others don't expect. Wang Jin's move surprised others.
According to Wang Lun's thoughts, he also thought that Wang Jin would learn Wu Zetian's method of taming horses! This time, seeing that Wang Jin was in his chest, Wang Lun didn't speak, just watched what Wang Jin did next.
I saw Wang Jin leading the horse for a while, and then combing the horse's mane with his hands from time to time, and sometimes touching the horse's head, with gentle and affectionate movements.
After this exchange, Wang Jin led the horse to an open field, stepped on the stirrups, turned over on the horse, and his legs were like iron clamps, buckling the horse's belly. Before the horse could react, he reached out and grabbed the horse's mane. The horse was startled, and stood and jumped again, neighing incessantly.
However, Wang Jin still grabbed the horse's mane as if it were attached to the horse. It's just that he keeps shouting and kicking the horse's belly with his feet.
Seeing that Wang Jin had not been fallen, the old horse seller and the onlookers opened their eyes wide one by one, and they all praised: "Good kung fu, good kung fu!" ”
When Wang Lun saw Wang Jin riding on that horse, he couldn't help but think of Liangshan's cavalry system, and he didn't know how many cavalry Liangshan could train now.
The red horse on Wang Jin's side galloped and jumped for half an hour, and was already covered in hot sweat, gradually losing strength and stabilizing. When Wang Jin saw this, he did not slack off, and struck with his horsewhip, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse ran away.
But in the end, the horse had just been tamed, and sometimes he started to move, jumping, and wanted to take Wang Jin off. Fortunately, Wang Jin was cautious and did not relax, and kicked the horse in the abdomen a few times, and the horse felt the pain obediently.
After a while, the horse adapted to Wang Jin's rhythm, let go of its hooves, and began to run.
Seeing this, Wang Lun said in his heart that he was tame, and said loudly: "Good means!" ”
The old man next to him and the people watching the excitement also cheered for Wang Jin.
"Well done!"
"This is the real hero!"
In a place where Wang Jin couldn't see, two people were looking at Wang Jin in surprise. One pointed at Wang Jin and said, "It's this fight that makes us suffer here, and we don't want to meet here!" ”
The other man was more thoughtful, and said to his companion: "This guy is powerful, you are staring here, I will report to the general!" ”
With that, the man hurried out of the horse market and went straight to the forbidden army garrison.
But Wang Jin said that he ran around like a gallop again, and stopped pulling the reins of the horse. Now the horse was obedient and stood still. One snorted vigorously, and looked at Wang Jin with round eyes, not kicking or jumping.
Wang Jin liked the horse's foot strength and coat color, and patted its neck with his hand to show closeness. Then Wang Jin walked up to the old man and bowed down and asked, "Uncle, how much is this horse worth, please tell me!" ”
The old man looked at Wang Jin and smiled, hugged his fists and said, "I have a word first, if I can tame this horse, I don't want a penny." I only hope that you will ride this horse, serve the country, and make contributions! The old man walked out as he spoke, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Wang Lun and Wang Jin led the horses and hurriedly chased after them, but they couldn't find anyone.
The king was satisfied with the good horse. I knew that the old man who sold horses was free and easy, and he didn't force himself to look for it. Turning the corner, he and Wang Lun went to the inn.
Wang Lun and Wang Jin didn't know that there was a tail behind them.
