Chapter 8 Xiaoyang Village
Hearing that Cheng Wu could put shoes on the injured war horse, the other two Cheng heirs, Li Zhen, including the dozens of soldiers standing behind him, all looked at Cheng Wu with envy. The injury of the war horse's hooves is the most headache for everyone in the Tang Dynasty now, whether it is from the bottom of the horseman or His Majesty Li Er, who is high up, every year for this matter is very painful.
If it is really like what this Cheng Gongzi said, the war horse can wear shoes from now on, then it is not the horse's hoof injury that will become history, you must know that in every war, in addition to the loss of personnel, the most deeply regretted is the war horse's hoof damage, and an ordinary horse training to become a qualified war horse also costs a lot of people, financial resources, if ......, many benefits we dare not think about.
On the way to Xiaoyang Village, Yu Chi Baolin, Cheng Chuhei, and Li Zhen urged Cheng Wu several times, but unfortunately Cheng Wu couldn't ride a horse, and finally Cheng Wu could only sit behind him under Yu Chi Baolin's repeated begging, and hugged Yu Chi Baolin tightly as if he was embarrassed, fortunately, there is no girl here now, otherwise the shame will be thrown to the boss's house. It can't be done, who let us be a modern otaku, who has ever seen an otaku who can ride a horse to fight? Isn't that Guan Gong?
In this way, he found an excuse to comfort his injured little heart, Cheng Wu felt a lot better at this time, but the next time he had the opportunity, he still had to learn to ride a horse, and he would not be able to ride a horse here, which was equivalent to running on the streets of the modern without a driver's license, and it was inconvenient to enter and exit!
Even Uncle Yang is not as good as others, at least Uncle Yang is not as embarrassed as Cheng Wu behind Cheng Chuhei!
As soon as he followed, Cheng Wu suspected that his butt was still there, because Cheng Wu couldn't feel the existence of his butt at this time, except for feeling a burst of pain from the tail vertebrae, Cheng Wu now felt that the whole person was dizzy, which was much worse than motion sickness! Cheng Wu thinks so.
With the head snake Yang Bo as a guide, a team of forty people soon came to the blacksmith shop, which startled the blacksmith and his son, if he hadn't done anything wrong, he would have knelt down and begged.
Hearing Yang Bo's explanation, the blacksmith was relieved, of course, for the next work, the father and son took out all what they had learned, and they didn't dare to be lazy.
Behind who is standing there are blue officers and soldiers watching you, don't you work hard, don't you see that the black-faced tiger bearded guy next to you is staring at their father and son with two eyes.
With the drawings and explanations drawn by Cheng Wu, as well as the personal operation of professionals, a horseshoe was soon played.
Let the strong people do the manual work, and ask Cheng Chuji to remove the excess hooves of the four horses with knives and level them out. Compare the beaten slap on the leveled horse's hooves, I have to say that the craftsmanship of the blacksmith father and son is really not covered, just listening to Cheng Wu's explanation for the first time to do it so qualified, so that Cheng Wu is deeply admired, much more powerful than the so-called blacksmiths in those TV shows.
Press the red-hot horseshoe on the horse's hooves, the horseshoes are well bonded to the horseshoe, and then use four iron nails to firmly nail the horse's shoes to the horseshoe, and the whole horse's shoes are completed. Let Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Zhuhei draw scoops according to the gourd, and nail the hooves of the other three horses to the horseshoe, and in this way, the matter of putting shoes on the horses is completed.
Cheng Zhihei didn't wait for Yu Chi Baolin to react, he was the first to jump on the horse's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the painful war horse let out a long roar and ran out. Da, da, da, the sound of the horses gradually faded away, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
After a while, Cheng Chuji smiled with satisfaction and rode a fast horse all the way from a distance, and said with a smile: "Okay, great, I ran to the gravel road just now, haha, I also came down to check it, and found that the horse's hooves were not damaged at all, and it was very good." As he spoke, he walked up to Cheng Wu and said, "Good job, Brother Cheng Wu"
After a few people politely dropped two taels of silver as wages, how dare the blacksmith accept it, and finally reluctantly accepted one or two under the obscenity of a few.
The time was not too early, they also had to go back, and at Cheng Wu's insistence, they stayed in Xiaoyang Village, and they rode the shoeed war horse in the direction of Chang'an City. However, the matter of the horseshoe was forgotten by several after going back, until the matter was discovered by Wei Chigong a few days later.
After a group of people left, Xiaoyang Village finally returned to calm, the evening in the mountain village was very quiet, but there was no color of previous years, there were bare grass roots and tree forks everywhere, and the leaves and the dealers in the field had already been eaten clean by the emperor insects. Due to the lack of harvest, this year's farmer's life is even more difficult, from now on, even the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up, like Yang Bo can go to the mountains to hunt to fill the family family is very few in the whole village, there is no bow and arrow, the opportunity to hunt prey is pitiful, today Yang Bo is bumped into a few wolves that smell the blood of black bears, and it is considered that he is lucky to bump into Cheng Wu, otherwise the extent of this wound, in this era of lack of medical treatment, has to hang up.
Uncle Yang's house is located in the middle of the village, with two dilapidated thatched houses. A wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson of one or two years old in the family looked malnourished due to lack of food, with yellow faces, swollen bellies, and sewn and sewn clothes on their bodies washed white, revealing the silk of the bottom material.
Seeing his grandfather come back, the two-year-old little Yang Yang walked out happily and his grandfather shouted, and Uncle Yang was so happy that he forgot about the wound when he saw his grandson come out, and got up and said, "Be careful, don't fall." Thinking of the pain in the wound on his leg, he helplessly watched his grandson walk to his side, kindly stroked Yang Yang's head and said, "Is Yang Yang well-behaved today?" ”
"Yang Yang is very well-behaved today, it's just that Yang Yang is hungry, waiting for his grandfather to come back from hunting for Yang Yang to eat, Yang Yang wants to eat meat." Said that he looked at Uncle Yang, didn't see any prey, and asked in disappointment: "Didn't grandpa catch the prey today, Yang Yang hasn't eaten for two days, A-Niang always lets Yang Yang eat wild vegetables, it's unpalatable, Yang Yang wants to eat grandpa's hunting, Yang Yang wants to eat meat." ”
Hearing such a two-year-old child speak, Cheng Wu's face burned like a red-hot iron plate. In his previous life, just this morning, where did Cheng Wu see this kind of scene, when he was in college before, every time he ate leftover meals, the leftover steamed buns were dumped into the trash can without thinking about it, and some people even integrated the meal, and the whole steamed bun was poured into the trash can without wanting to eat. Unexpectedly, retribution came in just half a day, is this why God saw that he was unhappy, so he let himself come here to experience life? It's not so much, in the whole of China, it's not just Cheng Wu who wastes food, some people waste less than Cheng Wu, Cheng Wu only occasionally pours a little bit when he can't finish eating, why don't you go to those people, but you want to find yourself?
Thinking of his various behaviors in the university cafeteria half a day ago, and listening to the hungry words of the two-year-old Yang Yang in front of him, Cheng Wu turned his face with red eyes and secretly wiped away his tears, this is the first time that Cheng Wu has taken the initiative to shed tears at such an age.
Cheng Wu remembered that when he went out to prepare this morning, he seemed to have prepared a bag of candy, but he didn't know if it was still there, so he looked down at his backpack and found that it was still there, but fortunately he was not discovered by those foodies just now. Cheng Wu took out a bag of candy and walked up with two bear legs.
"Why, this is the prey that your uncle and your grandfather hit, and Yang Yang will have meat to eat tonight." Cheng Wu handed the two bear legs in front of Yang Yang and said.
Seeing the two big bear legs in front of him, Yang Yang's eyes widened, and for a while, an innocent smile was revealed, haha laughed, ripped the corners of his mouth, and almost bent to the root of his ear.
"How can this be, this is what you called, Childe, how can you break the bank? Besides, today you have already saved the old man and me once, if you still let you spend so much, hey, now in such years, we have nothing worth entertaining you as a life-saver, to make you laugh. Yang Bo said.
