Chapter 478: Opening to Traffic
Four months later,
Yao Ran rode on a westbound train across the endless prairie, fenced on both sides of the tracks, because a herd of bison, or some other herd of animals, would occasionally stop on the railroad, forcing the steam locomotive to stop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first stop, Dahe Station, which was supposed to take several weeks to arrive, only took 10 hours to send Yao Ran and his party to the place.
And the turtle has become stronger after a year and a half, and at the same time, it has become darker.
"Brute turtle, meet the patriarch!"
"I want to thank you on behalf of the Yao clan, and I also want to thank you on behalf of the tribes on the grassland, without your firm persistence, the people on the grassland may be cold and starving."
"Let's talk about your year, the last time I received a report was ten months ago."
Yao Ran's hearty laughter, the guards behind him on both sides of the road, and the leaders of the Yao clan. Everyone also chuckled with Yao Ran.
"After receiving supplies from my family two months ago, I had an urgent need, mainly because of the lack of salt, iron, and fruits. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people with edema. ”
The brute turtle is a cheerful person, and he directly opened his mouth to report to Yao Ran.
"Hmmm! The crops grown here have been harvested, right? ”
"It's some harvest, but no matter how good it is, I've sown it again, otherwise these people are idle and have nothing to do, and it's easy to get into trouble."
"Ha, ha, ha, you kid can, practice makes true knowledge! Go on! ”
The brute turtle followed Yao Ran's side, and it was very smart that he did not overstep Yao Ran's body, and continued to speak,
"Now Xicheng has a population of 2,000 people, including 600 minors, nearly 100 elderly people (who cannot work), 500 men and 800 women."
Yao Ran listened to the report of the barbarian turtle as he walked, thinking in his heart that the current population gathering place was a lot of harvest in the west, and the railway here was not built in vain.
"At the same time, we found horses, this is the one drawn by the patriarch!"
"What? Where is it? Brought? ”
Yao Ran lost his temper for a while, in fact, horses are an obsession of Yao Ran, in fact, alpacas can also be competent for horses, but the speed is slightly slower.
Yao Ran, who was holding his head with one hand, was so frightened that Hou Yun thought that Yao Ran was not feeling well, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Yao Ran.
"Bring the horses up!" The brute turtle was also startled, but he didn't know that Yao Ran was in a hurry to check it with the retinal system.
Seeing everyone's nervous appearance, Yao Ran hurriedly spoke,
"I'm happy! I'm happy! ”
"This is the mount of the hometown, the mount of the hometown!"
The dream of the cavalry brigade can finally be seen seriously, and the alpaca runs with its neck swaying from side to side, which really makes Yao Ran have no interest in riding.
But the retinal system really let Yao Ran see those horses, real horses, very powerful. And the size is similar to that of a Mongolian horse, slightly smaller than the tall horse that Yao saw in his later life.
It's fine to be smaller. For the Yao clan people around Yao Ran, it was just right.
The horse was brought over by the brute turtle man, it was a jujube red horse, and the horse always had some sludge on it, and the wild horse was definitely not as clean as the horse that was raised.
Walking to the front of the horse, Yao Ran stepped forward and was about to pet, but was stopped by the brute turtle's words,
"Patriarchs, these horses are not very easy to tame, and they are easy to kick. So we just kept these horses in captivity. ”
Yao Ran didn't find more horses in the retinal system, so he naturally knew that the horses didn't bring much, but there were many alpaca riders, and this horse was not as good as the alpaca?
"How many have you found?"
Yao Ran asked casually, but in his heart he was looking for a way to train a horse in the retinal system, as well as the way to tame the horse in front of him.
"More than 1,000 horses were found, but they only counted the approximate numbers, not in detail."
"Good! Very good! ”
After Yao Ran said three words heavily, he pulled a rope from the body of Lin Mu beside him, and then tied a knot in his hand with a small knot.
Slowly walked towards the group of jujube red horses, put the rope on his left arm, and then leaned sideways towards the jujube red horses step by step.
After approaching, Yao Ran slowly put his hand on the front face of the jujube red horse, because the horse's eyes were on both sides of the body, and it couldn't see what was directly in front of its body.
The jujube red horse couldn't see Yao Ran, and was of course frightened when he was suddenly touched by something, and his steps lifted lightly and began to step back. Yao Ran did not leave the face door of the jujube red horse with his palm, and followed the retreating jujube red horse step by step.
In order to let the jujube red horse adapt to the temperature of its own palm and its own smell, the horse's nostrils are not white. Horses are very sensitive to smells, and Yao Ran put his hand on the head of the jujube red horse because of this.
One man and one horse retreated more than a dozen steps in a row, and the jujube red horse finally stopped, but it was still a little uneasy to step on the horse's hooves. And everyone was sweating for Yao Ran, and after the jujube red horse stopped moving, Yao Ran gently stroked the jujube red horse a few times with the hand that pressed the jujube red horse's face, and the other began to carefully pull the rope on his arm gently.
Everyone thought that Yao Ran was going to use the big circle in the rope sleeve to trap the jujube red horse, but they didn't expect that Yao Ran pulled down the rope sleeve and wrapped the big circle around his hand, and actually put the small circle into the mouth of the jujube red horse from his wrist little by little.
During this period, Yao Ran's left hand kept comforting the jujube red horse, and after the rope was put on, Yao Ran raised his right hand and threw the rope in his hand to the horsehair in front of the horse.
This is Yao Ran's right hand also stretched out in front of the head of the jujube red horse, and his hand stroked the long head of the jujube red horse up and down, and the beautiful horse's eyes were still a little uneasy, but the footsteps were no longer kicking indiscriminately.
Yao Ran saw that the time was ripe, and slowly walked to the side of the jujube red horse, and Yao Ran's two hands never left the body of the jujube red horse, and sometimes stayed in one place to tickle the jujube red horse.
When he walked to the position of the front of the Zao Red Horse, Yao Ran put both hands on the back of the Zao Red Horse, and the people around him could see that Yao Ran was rubbing, scratching, and pressing hard, but no one expected that Yao Ran's body, which had not lost much weight, bounced on the ground at once.
Immediately straddled the body of the jujube red horse, if someone saw it just now, Yao Ran grabbed the mane of the jujube red horse with his left hand. The right hand pressed on the horse's back, and a support force followed the hard leg and turned around to complete the series of movements just now.
And at this moment, Yao Ran, who was straddling the jujube red horse, did not drive the jujube red horse to move, but lay on the body of the jujube red horse, holding the rope that had just been thrown up.
