"Dabai, why are you running so fast?"

"Dabai, slow down!"

"Dabai, wait for us, Dabai!"

Nannan, Xiaoying and Niuniu, the three girls, yelling in their mouths, rode on their horses and chased after a big white horse with an abnormality in their hearts.

Behind them was a large herd of horses that covered the sky and the sun, and the sound of hooves rumbled.

Zhiwen and his party each rode their own mounts, following on the edge of the herd, here, the Mongolian steppe.

After they came out of Shengjing, they went all the way north, under the leadership of Hai Dongqing, through the Dongjin Mountain in his mouth, which was called the Great Xing'an Mountains in later generations, to the prairie, and then to the west of the Hanhai Desert in the north, according to Xue Ping, this area is the intersection of Mobei and Monan.

From Shengjing to Mongolia, it was indeed the same as they had imagined before, no one came to chase them along the way, but it was really hard to hurry, especially in the mountains, the road was narrow, and it was impossible to ride horses in many places, so they had to come down and walk, and the horses were extremely difficult to walk because of their tall size.

But they can't abandon the horse, the four Mongolian boys don't talk about it, the horse is their best partner, they didn't think about abandoning them at all, the three former horse thieves and more than a dozen new hunters in Dongjinshan, also regard the horse as a guarantee for their escape and livelihood, and will never consider giving up until the moment of life and death.

Besides, when I arrived at the prairie, there was no horse, and with only two legs, I had to go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon.

Within a few days, the horses lost a lot of weight, and Zhiwen was distressed, so he increased the supply of alfalfa, and it became a habit to go back and forth, and it did not change when they entered the grassland, in order to let them quickly grow fat, so that they could hurry up and leave as soon as possible.

Of course, Zhiwen declared to the public that the alfalfa was a weed he had found himself.

By the way, the more than ten hunters were recruited by Haidongqing when they crossed the Dongjin Mountain, they lived in the mountains and forests, made a living from fishing and hunting, and were born warriors, speaking Jurchen and Mongolian, with complex ethnic groups, and not a single nation.

These people are the birth of the Jurchen in the mouth of the Houjin, an important supplementary source of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, the Houjin will regularly go north, and they will be taken into slavery, and the backwardness of weapons and armor makes them not the opponents of the Houjin, therefore, the enmity between them and the Houjin is also as deep as the sea.

With a common language, a common enemy-Jianzhou Jurchen, and the temptation of a little food, Hai Dongqing easily recruited these dozen fierce men who were proficient in archery, walked like the wind in the jungle, and could ride horses, and the combat power of the whole team increased greatly.

What everyone didn't expect was that Zhiwen fed the horses with alfalfa and had an adventure.

A few days after entering the prairie, at noon, when everyone was resting, a horse broke into their field of vision, its whole body was snow-white, without a single stray hair, and its body was tall, far more than the horses they themselves ridden, the legs of the horses were thick, and the hooves of the horses were probably as big as the bowls they ate in.

Definitely a good horse, even more than the big dark horse they sold to Amin.

Meng Gen, a person who couldn't take care of other things as soon as he ate, was so happy that he dropped his job, and he didn't care if the horse had a master, so he put on the horse and chased after him, let alone others.

Of course, the main force is four Mongolian boys, and the others can only do a small favor.

After half a day, everyone's mounts were tired and panting, sweating, and the big white horse didn't touch a single hair.

Everyone had no choice but to give up, after all, it was more important to hurry.

But who would have thought that their behavior of harnessing the horse seemed to anger the big white horse, and from that day on, the big white horse had to dangle in front of them every day, but this also just showed that it had no owner, it was a wild horse.

At first, the four Mongolian boys were still unconvinced, and wanted to trap it, but the big white horse rushed left and right, and the lasso always failed to make a contribution.

A few times it was about to be put on its neck, but it accelerated with ease, and avoided it like lightning, and the lasso still fell into the air.

Only then did everyone know that this animal still had any strength left.

What's even more infuriating is that the big white horse often has to see that these people can't run, and there is nothing they can do with it, so "Herod" hisses and leaves, as if laughing at them.

Since he couldn't catch it, he could only ignore it and hurry, and when the big white horse saw that no one came to trap it, he began to make trouble back and forth.

Sometimes, it will jump up to a horse and suddenly roar, startle the horse before running away, and watch triumphantly as the people on the horse scramble to soothe the horse.

Sometimes, it ran in front of Zhiwen and them, deliberately kicking up, raising high sand and dust and dirt, and making everyone eat the ashes on their faces.

Everyone was so angry that they had no tricks to take it, and several times Hai Dongqing and Liu Cai took out bows and arrows, wanting to shoot it to relieve the hatred in their hearts, but in the face of such a divine and psychic thing, they still couldn't do it in the end.

After a few days of fuss, a turning point appeared.

Usually it appears in the afternoon, tossed until the afternoon, once Zhiwen and they stop to rest, perhaps because there is no one to play with it, the big white horse feels bored, and often leaves on its own.

In the evening of this day, when Zhiwen and his family set up camp and were about to rest, the big white horse had not left, standing in the distance, staring at Zhiwen with his eyes.

Everyone was surprised, and when they looked closely, they found that it was Zhiwen staring at it, but the alfalfa that Zhiwen fed the horse in his hand, which was fresh and verdant, and there were small purple flowers dotted among them, which was really a great temptation for the horse.

There was a lot of rush on this day, and Zhiwen took out alfalfa early to feed the horses.

Seeing that there was a door, Zhiwen raised the alfalfa in his hand and motioned for it to come up and eat.

The big white horse hesitated to take two steps, snorted, and retreated, but still did not leave, a picture of wanting to leave and staying.

It was Meng Gen who was more experienced in taming horses, so he asked Zhiwen to put the alfalfa between him and the big white horse and retreated, and waved his hand to make everyone retreat far away.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, the big white horse cautiously paced forward, lowered his head and sniffed, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation, stuck out his tongue, and ate a few bites.

After that day, the big white horse still appeared every day, but no longer made trouble, but quietly followed Zhiwen and them, and left after a happy meal of alfalfa in the evening.

After a few days, it seems that I just can't eat at night, and I come to bother at noon, then in the morning, and then I don't leave.

The distance between the big white horse and Zhiwen also shrank from the initial distance of more than ten zhang to a distance of a few zhang, and finally followed Zhiwen inseparably and upside down.

Zhiwen fed the alfalfa by hand, and it no longer refused, and it no longer resisted when touching, so far, except that because it grew too tall and Zhiwen couldn't ride it, it was completely subdued.

Under the guidance of Zhiwen, starting from the three of them, everyone gradually became familiar with it, they could feed it, they could touch it, and everyone gave it a name of "Dabai".
