Chapter 343: Ma Drinking Taihe

After the lively Beast Chase Festival, there was a string of high-hanging human heads outside the Yiren village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After a short rest, the Info people began to drive the captives to work as slaves.

In the past, the village only built walls and houses, did not level the land, repair the steps, etc., but now according to Wang Chuan's previous design, various details have been perfected, such as pruning the trees in the village, paving the steps of the roads and canals, and so on.

The land below the mountain will be used as cultivated land next year, and it is best to loosen the soil before winter, build the ridges of the fields, and open canals. In order to prevent the river from flooding the farmland if it rises slightly, it is best to build a dam at the edge of the river to protect the fields......

Wang Chuan spent a few days making a co-ordination rule for Qi, leaving Qi, who grabbed his hair like a chicken nest all day long, to command the work, and crossed the Taihe River with Ke, Zhuangniu and other more than 20 people, ready to find donkeys and horses.

He inquired clearly, and the donkey of the Yiren was caught in the north of the Taihe River. But it's all after the Taihe River freezes in winter. Wang Chuan couldn't wait for the snow to fall, so he led people across the Taihe River and prepared to try his luck.

In later generations, wild asses and wild horses lived in little different environments, and wild horses should have appeared where there were wild donkeys. Wang Chuan felt that even if there were no horses, it would be good to get more donkeys to go back. After all, the role of large livestock in agriculture is not small.

The Taihe River in this era did not flood, but it did not look like a river. Before the water control, it is not just a legend that there are seven rivers and nine rivers in the Taihe River. Wang Chuan and others crossed all the way north, crossed many flowing rivers, crossed a lot of water, and floated ashore in the north for a day.

These places may have also been soaked in the Taihe River, and the banks are flat with golden grass and few trees. In the distance, saber-toothed elephants, larger than baby elephants, roamed in the setting sun, and several huge green peacocks flew up from the grass and fluttered into the distance.

When the baby elephant saw the shadow of the saber-toothed elephant in the distance, he screamed a few times, but he didn't get any response, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Saber-toothed and mammoths are two different breeds. All are prehistoric giant elephants. But the tusks of the saber-toothed elephant are like the western sword, straight up and down, while the whole tusk of the mammoth is curved. The Taihe elephant that later generations said was a saber-toothed elephant. Between two different elephants, like a human and an orangutan, it is naturally difficult to communicate.

Ke saw the green peacock, thought it was a phoenix, and pointed to the sacred bird. In order to please the future queen, the sycophant of Kitty Hawk made a pounce and caught the biggest of them back. But under the claws of the eaglet, this green peacock, which was almost extinct in later generations, immediately became a dead peacock. In order to comfort Ke, Wang Chuan had to use the peacock's feathers to weave a beautiful phoenix crown for Ke while eating the peacock. The Tiger Destroyer also got one for Benqing, and it looked like an Indian chieftain.

It's a common thing to break iron shoes. Wang Chuan led people to walk on the vast ground north of the Taihe River for more than a month, even if there was a little eagle as the eye of the sky, and encountered many animals, including many extinct species in later generations, and even Wang Chuan found a jade mine and a coal mine, but he didn't see donkeys and horses!

The autumn wind blew the grass, September passed and October was approaching, Wang Chuan and his party returned to the south disappointed, and then returned to the Taihe River to prepare for the south, the Taihe River had begun to freeze sooner or later.

This trip seems to be the only way to go. There were no donkeys or horses here, so I had to build a big boat to try my luck when I turned around. But to get to Lambla, you'll have to wait a few years. The land of Qinguan was also a waterway before it was developed, and if you rashly look for it, you may not be able to find the location of the Lambla tribe. At least a few years will have to be given to develop before he can free up his hands to mark the river or find wild horses to domesticate.

On this day, they returned to the place where they landed, and everyone rested for the night and prepared to cross south at dawn.

At dawn the next day, I suddenly heard thunder rolling in. The crowd rolled up from their tents, and the first thing they saw was the green peacock flying for its life, the saber-toothed elephant running in disarray, and the carnivores squatting in the grass fleeing for their lives like wild cats being chased.

In the thin and cold morning mist, the yellow dust rose in the distance, and a black line galloped in the direction of everyone in the morning light.

"It's a horse!" Everyone quickly recognized these impassioned creatures, and happily took out the horse pole that Wang Chuan had already prepared.

A few anxious people rushed out, but soon ran back to the camp. Without him, the horses could see a line from afar, but if they ran closer, they could see that it was an overwhelming herd.

The camp was fenced with a little wood, and when they came back, they immediately felt much safer. But as the ground shook, the fences became more and more fragile. People can't outrun the horse, Wang Chuan decisively ordered: "Get on the boat!" ”

No matter how powerful and majestic the man who sets the horse, he can't compete with thousands of wild horses. At this time, don't talk about the horse, it's important to escape.

Everyone hurriedly packed up some important things, immediately ran to the water's edge, pushed the raft and wooden boat, smashed the thin ice at the water's edge, and quickly left the shore. The baby elephant and the baby rhinoceros began to swim despite the cold water, and the three tigers stopped flinching and bravely boarded the boat.

The crowd had only left the shore for more than ten meters, and the horses were behind them. Wang Chuan glanced back, and saw a majestic head horse high over the fence of the camp, stepped on top of a tent, kicked down the tent several times, and then jumped out of the fence on the other side. The other horses followed, leaping before and crashing back, and the whole camp was reduced to shreds in the blink of an eye.

The horse was black and shiny, with only a snow-white coat under the knees. It is most appropriate to describe it as dark clouds and snow. The horse, having finished his tent, glanced into the river, and then, in a demonstrative circle, led the horses far away, and trampled the camp again.

As soon as the horses came, it was like a whirlwind, and the shore was gone, not to mention the tent camp, and even the yellow grass and leaves on the ground were turned into scraps and mixed with the dirt.

Everyone watched this shocking scene and was speechless for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there were boats and water here, where would there be life after being trampled on like this for a while? Zhuang Niu sighed after a long time: "Huo Yanzi, I know why you have to build horses and cavalry. ”

Wang Chuan held Ke's hand tightly, only to feel that both of their hands were sweaty.

The horses finished their tents again and stopped at the water's edge. They each snorted with a long breath, and took turns drinking water on the ice surface that everyone had smashed open, and for a while the sound of horses' hooves was chaotic, neighing, and the noise was endless. As far as the eye can see, the shore is full of horses.

The head horse is only afraid of the existence of the king of horses, it stops downstream, but passes through the herd and walks upstream. It did not compete with the horses for water, but kicked a lot of stones all the way to the river and smashed the ice, and walked to the most upstream position before drinking water by the river.

A young warrior among the Yi people saw that the king of horses was arrogant, and shot an arrow at it, but was dodged by the king of horses with a lightning jump.

"I'll go!" Wang Chuan only felt a cool breath surging from the soles of his feet to his head, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Who did it?" ”

"We are in the river, what are we afraid of......"

"Jockey Club swimming! Come on! Wang Chuan only felt that he had memorized the words and arrived home. I finally escaped on the shore, but I was afraid that I would die here.

He took the bow in his hand, and Ke immediately handed him the arrow. When his bow was not set, the king of horses flew into the herd with lightning speed.

The king of horses roared in the herd, and the horses jumped into the river, broke through the ice by the river, and swam into the river. Thousands of horses descended the river at the same time on the bank of the river, like a flash flood, which was not only terrifying, but also extremely fast.
