Chapter 53 Scarlet Dedication (25) Set of Horse Pole Girl
The 'honest horse' that rushed out of the land is not honest now, and the grassland on the plateau is not so stable, only to see it jumping up and down, galloping into the distance.
Guo Kaiqing was still lying on the back of the horse and waiting at first, he thought that the horse was 'shocked' and would definitely stop, he didn't pull the reins hard, and let the 'honest horse' run away.
Later, when Guo Kaiqing found that the horse's buttocks were bleeding, he was also stupid, he did not pull the reins, but used the horsewhip to whip the horse's back crotch, he was completely stupid, the more he pumped the horse, the faster the 'honest horse' ran, Guo Kaiqing's hands were numb, and he found that he could no longer control the reins at this time.
"Wanluo", Guo Kaiqing let go of his hand without confidence, and the person also fell off the horse, causing his nose to be blue and his face swollen.
Although Guo Kaiqing fell, the 'Honest Horse' did not stop, and it ran away without a trace.
'Not good,' Guo Kaiqing really reacted at this time, he ran quickly in the direction of the horse, he didn't know how far he ran, until he ran to the fence of the ranch.
Ran to the end, did not see the 'honest horse', Guo Kaiqing walked to the fence to see, it turned out that there was a place in disrepair, the old wood had long been dilapidated, looking at the traces of the 'honest horse' rushing, Guo Kaiqing completely lost confidence, he regretted that he should not let Li Yong and them follow, with their experience, they would definitely stop the horse.
Without the confidence to find a horse, Guo Kaiqing sat on the ground and looked into the distance in a daze.
About an hour later, Li Yong ran over with a few soldiers, and as soon as he saw Guo Kaiqing, he guessed one or two.
"It's okay, it's common for this horse to run away, come, let's go back." Li Yong got off the horse, and he pulled Guo Kaiqing up from the ground with his hands. After that, the two walked back.
As soon as the "honest horse" was lost, Guo Kaiqing also lost his interest in riding a horse, and he sat in his office every day, looking through the records and documents over the years, looking like he was immersed in work.
"Hey, I said field manager, do you want that 'big question mark'? Don't let me take it and mow the grass for the horses. A breeder of horses asked, through the window.
"Yes, I want it, how can I not want it." At this time, Guo Kaiqing remembered 'asking for cut'. The scabbard was hanging on the wall, but the knife was gone.
"I said, field leader, don't be preoccupied, don't you lose a horse, what a big deal." The attendant is an old volunteer. He was wearing a 'leather apron' on his body, and handed 'Q Che' to Guo Kaiqing at the same time. enlightened him.
"My whole horse is lost. I pay for myself, this horse belongs to the public, and I can't take advantage of the public. ”
"I don't need you to pay compensation, in a few days, someone will send our horses back."
"Is it true?" Guo Kaiqing's eyes lit up. Watching the veteran talk doesn't look like a joke with him.
"I'm so old, what can I lie to you, you can go to the assistant manager's house at night and find out."
At night, Guo Kaiqing did not eat in the cafeteria. He went to Li Yong's house, and saw Li Yong's wife stir-frying, and the fragrant smell made Guo Kaiqing fascinated.
"You're the new Director Guo, right?"
"Yes, I am, you're sister-in-law, right?"
"Lao Li, Chief Guo is here, come out quickly."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yong hugged his daughter and walked out, "It seems that you want to eat at my house at night, right?" ’
"How did you guess that?"
"I know, you have to come to my house these days, come, come in."
Li Yong's home is very simple, old-fashioned furniture, probably older than his age, and a 14-inch black-and-white television is the only household appliance in his home.
"I said, coordinator, why is your family like this?" Guo Kaiqing couldn't believe that he looked at the accounts of the ranch on weekdays, and the annual surplus was quite considerable, but Li Yong's family was actually like this.
"What's the matter, do you think I'm poor here, I don't like to stay and get out of here, our ranch is like this, the public's money, we don't move a penny, I'm not like those officials and men in the city, all of them take the field as their home, everything I have here has nothing to do with the public, how many times have I checked my business, I told them, they don't believe it."
It turns out that the money handed over to the division in the ranch every year has long made people red-eyed, these people have never been to the ranch, so they are playing right and wrong in front of the chiefs, saying that several field chiefs are all very rich, even an ordinary platoon leader in the ranch, every year's 'profit', is more than the regiment commander, so as long as it is a ranch director, or an assistant person, the history of the military will come to an end, because no chief will speak to 'these tainted people', even if there is no evidence to run a family, you can only say you' Just cover it tightly. ’
If he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, Guo Kaiqing will also suspect every cadre here, this time he saw with his own eyes that this is an assistant's home, he is very ashamed, "Don't say anything, I'm new here, I don't understand anything, I just didn't eat today, how about a meal at your house?" ”
"Okay, just pay the money for dinner, you can eat more pairs of chopsticks if you want to eat, catch up with Ming'er, you put your salary here with me, whatever you want to eat, I'll ask your sister-in-law to do something for you, if not, I'll ride a horse to buy it for you."
Guo Kaiqing was speechless, not knowing what to do.
Li Yong's wife walked in with food, "Don't listen to him, this guy will deceive people." ”
"Whoever I lied to, who I lied to, you come and tell me."
"Who lied to me, deceived me, Director Guo, let me tell you, this guy has a heart, he went to our school to tell a battle story back then, and told me that he was six years older than me, and guess what?"
Guo Kaiqing said, "How did you get here?" ”
"What's the matter, when the two of us got married, we reported to Lu Shang together, and I saw clearly, where is the six-year-old, just three years old, to be specific, it is two years and nine months older than me, do you think he can deceive?"
"It's a genius to be able to deceive."
"Hurry up and cook, remember to bring me my bottle of good wine."
"Your wine, which is yours, that my father brought me."
"Okay, what's yours is yours, can you let you drink it?"
"Let, I'm happy to see Director Guo here today."
A table of dishes that could no longer be vegetarian was placed in front of Guo Kaiqing. "I begged for mercy today, and when I have the opportunity, I will ask you two."
"What do you say, do you think that I don't have meat at home, but there is meat in the cafeteria?"
Guo Kaiqing shook his head.
"I have this problem, no matter how good the public is, I won't take a bite more, I only eat my own, come and have a drink, this is my old father-in-law's own good wine."
Guo Kaiqing found out. The bottle was an old bottle, it turned out to be 'new wine in an old bottle', and he raised his glass, took a sip, and realized that this wine was very mellow. Sure enough, it's a good wine.
Halfway through the wine and food, Guo Kaiqing mentioned what the waiter veteran said.
"That's what you say. It's true. The horses in our ranch have their own military horseshoe, and the nearby villagers, when they see it, will send the horses back to us, which is a common thing. Since I joined the army here, we haven't lost a horse on our ranch. ”
Seeing Li Yong's very sure look, the depression in Guo Kaiqing's heart also relaxed, and the two drank a few more glasses. I just took my leave.
Within three days, a young girl, riding a horse and leading an 'honest horse', came to the pasture.
Guo Kaiqing was very curious, the girl still had a very long sage in her hand, and there was a big circle on the sage.
"It's called a horse pole, and my father and I were herding horses in a nearby pasture, and we happened to meet it, so I brought it back, and then I saw that it seemed to be wounded, and I wanted to wait for it to be raised, and then I would send it to you."
Thank you so much, it was my bad friend who hurt the horse and let it run. Guo Kaiqing took the initiative to admit his mistake, and he nodded to the girl to express his gratitude.
This girl is very small, she seems to be afraid of seeing Guo Kaiqing, her face is red to death, and then, she did not answer Guo Kaiqing's words, but talked to Li Yongpan.
Through the introduction, it was learned that this girl was the cousin of Li Yong's wife, and the family was all villagers here, who usually herded horses for a living.
In the evening, Li Yong and his wife entertained the girl and forced Guo Kaiqing to accompany him, and the girl peeked at Guo Kaiqing from time to time during the banquet, which made Guo Kaiqing very uncomfortable.
After finally eating dinner, Guo Kaiqing got up to say goodbye, he wanted to leave Li Yong's house as soon as possible.
"I'll send you."
"Okay."
As soon as he walked out of the house, Li Yong smiled and said, "Yes." ”
"What can be?"
"My sister-in-law has taken a fancy to you."
"Oh, I mean, she peeks at me every now and then."
"Look at your beauty, by the way, Director Guo, for so many days, I haven't seen you mention family matters, are you married?"
"My kids are quite old."
"Oh, that's a misunderstanding, it's okay, you go back, I'll talk to my sister-in-law."
On the way back, Guo Kaiqing wanted to laugh more and more as he walked, seeing that he was still loved, a young girl who met in Pingshui wanted to pursue himself when he came up, which was really a man's great pleasure. ’
The girl who set the horse accompanied Li Yong's wife in the pasture for a few more days, and then she was going home.
In order to show the girl's help, Guo Kaiqing offered to give the girl a ride, and the girl did not object, so Guo Kaiqing rode the 'honest horse' and walked with the girl.
"Thank you so much, without you, I really can't find this horse."
"Thank you, here are the horses on your pasture, all of them are on your horses."
Along the way, Guo Kaiqing and the girl did not talk again, and when Guo Kaiqing sent the girl to the ranch fence, the girl smiled at Guo Kaiqing, her smile was very beautiful, revealing two rows of neat teeth.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Guo Kaiqing, and there will be a date later." The girl waved her hand.
"There will be a date later." Guo Kaiqing also responded to the girl with his big hand.
As soon as the girl turned around, the horse galloped quickly, and saw that she was lying very low, and the pole in her right hand was like a spear, and she was very heroic.
Looking at the girl's distant back, Guo Kaiqing did not return immediately, he jumped off the 'honest horse', sat on the side, and lit a cigarette.
The 'Honest Horse' was not tethered to the side, but it remained still, gnawing on the grass on the ground and making 'T, T,' sounds from time to time. (To be continued......)
