Chapter 10: The Lion-Mane Beast (2)

"It's just that simple?"

Dong Yu obviously heard it, and Dong Yu still had something to say.

Dong Li looked at the people around him, the generals were far away, and only Dong Yu, Dong Yuan and Lu Yi were by his side.

"I always felt that my father's official position was getting bigger and bigger, but there were more and more dangers. I'm worried that one day...... We can at least have a foundation. It's desolate, but it's better that it's not constrained by the clan's gatekeepers. And the Xiliang folk style is fierce, and it can be used well. I've heard that the Qiang people have been a little unstable lately, and many small tribes have been attacked inexplicably. ”

Dong Yuan nodded, "I also heard about this matter, it seems that it was annexed by the big clan." ”

Dong Yu stared at Dong Li, "Ugly, you go on." ”

"Although the small tribes are gone, there are many warriors who have lost their homes and have not been taken captive. These people are quite powerful, and when they are alone, they are rangers, they are thieves, and there is nothing to worry about. But once you get together, it can cause a lot of trouble. I think it's better to take them for their own use than to make them horse thieves. ”

Dong Yu chuckled in his heart, "Ugly, this is what you came up with?" ”

Dong Yan scratched his head and said with a little innocent smile: "I'm also cranky, there are many difficulties here, so I haven't told my grandmother." ”

Dong Yuan didn't feel anything, but thought that in this way, the Dong family's status in Xiliang would probably become bigger again.

"Ugly, you said it earlier! Later, when I see the stewards here, I'll give them what to do. ”

At this time, the steward of the ranch brought people to meet him. Dong Yu wanted to ask again, but he felt that it was not appropriate to have too many people.

"Eldest sister, where are the wild horses you brought?" Dong Yuan asked.

Dong Yu smiled and glanced at the steward. The steward immediately understood, and hurriedly bowed over the horse and said, "Fourth Miss, the horses brought by the eldest lady have been fenced up and taken care of by a special person." The villain will show you the way, please come with the villain. ”

The steward led the way in front, and Dong Yu and the four followed.

The private soldiers of the Dong Mansion were about twenty or thirty zhang away from the four of them, and they followed suit.

Dong Yu captured a lot of horses. There are about 300 wild horses, and they are extraordinarily superb.

By the time they were encircled, the wild horses had already been tamed.

It is no wonder that the Qiang people are good at horse taming, and there are many horse trainers in this ranch, so it is not difficult.

It's just that the wild horses have not yet merged with the ranch horses, so they are kept in separate captivity.

Seeing so many horses, Lu Yi kept clapping her hands with joy. She followed behind Dong Yuan, and after Dong Yuan picked out a little red horse, she quickly picked out a little white horse. This woman in the northwest is all extraordinary. After Dong Yuan and Lu Yi picked out the horses, they immediately wanted to give it a try. It's just that although these horses are tamed, they still have wild nature. The steward was worried that something would happen, so he hurriedly called the master to run to help, leaving only Dong Yu and Dong Yu outside the circle.

Dong Yu looked at Dong Li, "Ugly, why don't you pick one?" ”

Dong Li smiled and said, "I'm still watching!" ”

"Oh, Ugly knows Soma?"

"I can't say I understand, it's just that the second brother-in-law once told me some common sense about Soma, so I know some."

Dong Yu smiled: "Then let's talk about it!" ”

Dong Li straddled the fence, stared at the horses, and said without looking back: "The horses are divided into thirty-two phases, and the eyes are the first." Then it depends on whether the head is square and round. The so-called eyes are like hanging bells and purple dips, and the eyes are like sprinkling beans to be distinct. The white wisps run through the eyes for five hundred, and the pupils are colorful and long-lived. ”

"What do you think of that face?"

"Nose lines have words to live long, like fire like forty springs. The top door of Shouxuan is higher than the eye, and the mane is hairy. The face is like a peeled rib without meat, and the nose is like a calendula trough. The ears are like willow leaves, and the neck is as long as a phoenix and a rooster crows. The mouth fork is deep, the teeth are far away, and the tongue is like a hanging sword-colored lotus. There is no black spirit in the mouth and a long life, and the lips are like hanging boxes and stopping in two...... Ah, come on! ”

The steward called by Dong Li pointed to a black horse in the circle: "Pull that horse over!" ”

His own house slave ran over to bring Dong Li's favorite black horse, and the steward ordered someone to saddle the horse, but Dong Li stopped him.

He stepped forward, put his hands on the horse's back, and gently stroked the smooth horse's back.

Dong Yu motioned to the steward not to make a sound, and looked at Dong Yu quietly. After a while, Dong Yan suddenly pressed his arms hard and pressed his hands down. The war horse of the divine horse neighed with a sigh, its hooves weakened, and it knelt on the ground with a plop.

"No way!"

Dong Yu sighed and walked to Dong Yu's side.

Dong Yu asked curiously: "Ugly, I think that horse is good, why not?" ”

"It won't hold me in the future."

"Can't hold on? How could it be ......"

Dong Yan smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, I am only twelve years old now, and I weigh almost one hundred and fifty pounds. When I fully grow, I'm afraid that this weight will be more than 200 pounds. With armor and weapons, this horse is good, but it's not enough to hold me up. ”

Dong Yu said with a smile: "I think this horse, it won't be a problem to support five hundred catties." Your weapon weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, plus weight and armor, and at most four hundred pounds, how can you not hold it? ”

Dong Li glanced at the eldest sister and said softly: "The weapon I use now is what I use for practice." My grandmother had already prepared another pair of sledgehammers for me, saying that I would not be able to use them until I was older. That's why I said the horse couldn't hold it. ”

Dong Yu was stunned, "Another pair of sledgehammers? Multiple? ”

"Three hundred and forty-four pounds!"

When Dong Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Three hundred and forty-four pounds of weapons, plus weight armor, should be more than six hundred pounds.

She couldn't help but gasp and said with a wry smile: "Ugly, even if it's a red rabbit horse, it may not be able to carry it." ”

Dong Li sighed, nodded and said, "I know...... But I can't help it. ”

"Don't be discouraged, when my sister finds a way in the future, maybe she can find a magic horse. By the way, ugly, don't you like dogs? ”

Seeing that Dong Yu didn't choose a suitable horse, he was a little frustrated, Dong Yu hurriedly comforted him.

Dong Li raised his head and said, "I like dogs, but grandma doesn't like them." ”

"It's okay, my sister asked her to find you a mastiff from Xiqiang and put it in the pasture. You've grown up, and grandma can't follow you every day. You can also ask to live on the ranch with your grandma, and grandma won't stop you. ”

Dong Li's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

******

Dong Yu and Dong Li were talking here, and on the other side, Dong Yuan and Lu Yi were already completely familiar with the mounts under their crotch.

The second girl ran on her horse, giggling and laughing.

"Ugly, come on, we're faster, whose horse is faster?"

Dong Yuan stretched out his hand to greet Dong Li, and ran towards Dong Li. Suddenly, there was a hissing of a wild horse in the distance of the pasture. The neighing of the horses sounded like thunder on the horizon, causing panic among the horses in the pasture.

Dong Yuan's horse was startled by the sudden neighing of the horse, and was immediately startled.

The wild horse has just been tamed, and the wild nature remains. This was shocking, and he rushed out of the horse circle, as if he was crazy. Several house slaves stepped forward to stop them, but they were hit by wild horses and flew out, and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

"The horse is shocked, the horse is shocked!"

"Protect Miss Four!"

The people around were panicked, and Dong Yuan on horseback kept screaming. Dong Yan pushed away the generals who were blocking in front of him, and roared angrily, "Go and look at other horses, here I am!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed forward and stood in front of the startled horse.

"Ugly, get out of the way!"

Dong Yu was frightened. She knew how terrible it could be for a newly tamed wild horse to start. I had the heart to rush over and pull Dong Yan away, but he was pulled by the family checker. Seeing that the frightened horse had rushed to Dong Li's side, he saw Dong Li take a horse step, raise his hands and hit the horse's head fiercely.

The little red horse screamed violently, and its hooves rose up.

Dong Yan took a step forward, grabbed the reins of the horse and pulled it down hard, wrapped his other hand around the horse's neck, sank into the dantian, and roared. The rushing wild horse is more powerful than ever. was unexpectedly overturned to the ground by Dong Li.

Dong Yuan rolled on the ground a few times in a panic, and when she was helped up, her head was still blank.

The little red horse was still struggling, but was pressed to the ground by Dong Li.

Dong Yan whistled while holding down the little red horse. This is the trick that the people in the ranch told him to soothe the horse's mood. Gradually, the little red horse stopped struggling, and a house slave stepped forward to lead the little red horse, and Dong Yan also sat in place exhausted, unable to move for a long time.

"I'm going to kill it!"

Dong Yuan, who came to his senses, screamed, snatched a sword from the general's body, and pounced on the little red horse.

"Fourth sister, it's none of its business. It was frightened...... If you kill it, why should I go to such great lengths to subdue it? I knew I could kill it with one punch. You see, it also knows that it is wrong, so don't admit it to you? ”

Dong Li hurriedly ran over and hugged Dong Yuan, and the little red horse also walked over quite humanely, looking at her with watery eyes.

Dong Yuan's heart softened!

From the bottom of her heart, she also likes this little red horse, and she really can't bear to kill it.

Can...... has lost such a big person, if you don't vent it, there will always be a breath of anger in your heart.

"What scared my little red?"

The steward was also frightened and turned pale, of course he knew what kind of temper the fourth lady of the Dong family was. Hearing Dong Yuan's inquiry, he hurriedly ran over and replied cautiously: "It must be that damn horse that ran out, it must be like this." ”

"Which horse?"

Dong Yan couldn't help but ask. You can tell from the neighing of the horse that the horse is nothing short of a masterpiece.

The steward hurriedly replied: "It's a lonely horse, it's ugly, and it's very unsociable." When it was first born, no mare wanted to feed it. And I often clashed with other horses, biting and kicking several horses, and I wanted to kill it. ”

Dong Li beckoned the family general to lead the horse over.

He rolled over and got on his horse, "Where is that horse now?" ”

"I guess it's already surrounded by people. The horse was so fierce that no one could tame it. Only the little iron in the pasture can get closer to it. When I wanted to kill it, it was Xiao Tie who refused to live or die, so I let it go. ”

"Who is Xiao Tie?" Midori asked.

The steward replied, "It is a Qiang orphan." Three years ago, I saw that he was good at raising horses, so I bought him from a horse dealer. The man is quite smart, but he is very obsessed with horses, and everyone here calls him a pony idiot, and he can be regarded as capable. ”

Dong Li asked, "How old is that horse?" What does it look like? ”

"It's ugly...... It's not even two years old, and it's very violent. I have two horsemen here who were killed by it. ”

As he was talking, Dong Li heard a violent neighing of horses from the front.

He hurriedly looked up, but he didn't expect this look, but he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
