Chapter Thirty-Eight: Brushing Horses and Towing Halls
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Brushing Horses and Towing Halls
The morning class is over.
After saying goodbye to Carlos, Xiu did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the quartermaster office to get it for Dark Horse Grass. He hadn't given the horse grass to the secret for two meals.
After registering with the quartermaster knight, he hurried back to the stable next to the dormitory with a bag of wheat and a bag of horse grass to add food and grass to the secret.
Darkly drinking water, the trough was already empty. Even though it hadn't eaten last night or this morning, it just stood quietly in the stable, neither noisy nor noisy. Only after hearing Xiu's movement would he raise his head to take a look, and then he walked leisurely to the trough and waited quietly.
Pour the wheat and hay into the trough and stir to mix the wheat and hay evenly, then fill the sink with water.
Well? At this time, Xiu smelled a strong smell of horse manure.
Come to think of it, it's been a week since the dark was here, and it's time for the stables to be cleaned up. Xiu thought so.
But...... That's so troublesome, it's dirty...... Do you really want to get it?
Xiu thought about it, and finally decided to get it! I said I would take good care of it, but it's just cleaning up horse manure, it's nothing!
By the way, brush the horse too, I haven't brushed the horse for two days, and it's time to give it a bath.
But now that I'm eating grass in the dark, let's eat something for myself first.
"Otto, let's have lunch together!"
Xiu knocked on the door.
Otto put down his quill and said, "Okay." "He looked a little tired and depressed.
"What's the matter, it's the first time you've been so unmotivated." Xiu asked.
"Don't mention it, I don't have a clue about those formulas right now." Otto was a little irritated "There is no formula to refer to, and I don't know what its subordinate formula is, let alone how to calculate it......" Otto was obviously on fire in his heart.
Xiu grabbed Otto's arms and said very seriously: "Otto, you are the only one who studies Honkai, you are the forerunner of everyone, and you are the one who opens the way. The forerunner was miserable and lonely, because too many difficulties, large and small, hindered him in front of him, making it difficult for him to walk an inch. But you have to go on in the difficult times, because that's the greatness of the forerunners. The suffering of the forerunners will pave a path for future generations, and they will follow the path we have blazed farther and farther. Then they will thank you. ”
Otto instantly teary "repaired ......"
"Don't thank me, I read it in the book." Xiu smiled.
"I mean to say that you have a strong horse smell, stay away from me."
Repair "......"
In the end, Otto still went to lunch with Xiu, and although he always disliked Xiu's horse smell, he still drank a bowl of wheat porridge with Xiu face-to-face.
Lunch was quickly finished, and the two left the cafeteria.
Although he has always disliked Xiu, Otto should still listen to what Xiu said, and he said that he would go back and continue to study the formula.
Xiuze went to the quartermaster office to get a shovel and a cart.
Endure the nausea in my heart, mix the horse manure with the wheat straw used for bedding little by little, shovel it into the cart and fill it before pushing it to the designated place outside the city to dump it, and the horse manure will be burned uniformly.
One car couldn't fit it, so it took him two more cars to finish.
He laid new straw on the ground, and the stables that had been laid with straw were clean and fresh again.
He fetched a few more buckets of water, led the darkness to the clearing, patted the water on the darkness little by little to make it adjust to the temperature of the water, and then gently brushed it up with a large brush.
The training camp is equipped with a lot of things, and there are also big brushes for brushing horses. It's just that I don't know what kind of animal hair is made of, not only is it very thick, but the hair is very hard, but it can be half-bent like a branch, and it is just right to brush a horse.
From the horse's face, mane, neck, body and tail, brush the hair a little bit, brush off the hair that has fallen off but has not fallen off, and pat a little water from time to time to lubricate.
The brush makes a gentle "snort" sound on the horse's body and brushes the tail hair behind it. But Dark didn't move, it stood quietly and let Xiu toss, occasionally raising its head to raise its mane.
I have to say that a dark temper is very rare in Mali, and such a docile horse is almost unimaginable to others. Even if the repair brush stimulates it alone or directly after standing directly on the dark buttocks, it does not show any uneasiness or anxiety. You must know that these two places are the easiest places for horses to lose control, and ordinary people are easy to get into hooves when they get closer.
It took half an hour to clean the dark brush. Its jet-black fur was as shiny as oil.
After Xiu pulled it back to the stable, he went to take a bath himself.
It's September. The weather in September is still very hot, and it will be a while before it turns cool, although it will be soon, but no one can say for sure. However, depending on the situation, the weather in recent days is still hot.
In such weather, if you move a little, you will sweat all over your body, and it will be uncomfortable to stick to your body.
In fact, the main reason is that Otto has been disgusted with his horse smell, saying that it will stink the whole dormitory, so he kicked him out and let him take a bath.
After washing off the sweat stains, I also feel much more comfortable. It seems that taking a shower at noon is not a bad thing, but it is just an extra piece of laundry at night. Xiu thought to himself.
"Otto, are you going to take a shower, it's comfortable." Revision suggestion.
"No, I don't have that time to spare. I didn't sweat. Otto wrote, drawn, scribbled, and altered on the paper, "I still have to figure out what this is saying." ”
Xiu glanced at it, and it was full of letters and various equations, and Xiu couldn't understand it at all.
"Otto, you'll understand." Xiu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't understand it at all." Although Otto said that he did not understand, the corners of his mouth were irrepressibly raised, and he seemed happy.
After all, everyone wants to be recognized by others, even if they are as arrogant as Otto.
Since you can't understand it, there's no need to read it yourself.
That's what my father said to himself many years ago.
At that time, Xiu showed a great interest in reading, but he didn't know many words, and when he asked Francis for help, Francis said that.
Later, Old Arthur accompanied him and slowly taught Xiu the spelling and pronunciation of Latin, so that Xiu could understand some of the more superficial things.
For a long time, Xiu spent time in the library pavilion.
Because he had nowhere to go, and no one would have the patience and time to play with Xiu.
Xiu jumped on the bed and took the "Honkai Foundation" that he could understand and read it carefully. After about half an hour, Xiu's eyes were a little sore, so he closed the book and fell asleep.
The horn sounds, and the lunch break ends. The afternoon class was Instructor Shalena's "Honkai Foundations". It was also the only lesson that Otto would have attended.
Although he will criticize the content of the teacher from the beginning of the class until the end of the class.
This class is no exception. Salena doesn't know as much about the atmosphere or many interesting things as many other teachers, but the content she talks about is all about the main points, and many of them are skills that make people survive in the face of Honkai. Therefore, almost all of them listened very carefully and then took notes in their textbooks.
Except, of course, Otto. He was never a good student, he was a free and loose young master from the beginning. In this lesson, Otto is looking for loopholes in Selena's Honkai theory, and then criticizes it fiercely. His voice was not loud, but it could be heard by several people around him, and they all looked at Otto with disgruntled eyes.
"This classmate, you don't listen to the class, but please don't disturb us." A blonde Valkyrie said dissatisfied.
"What is this classmate, this is the young master of the Apokalis family, Otto Apocalis, who is notoriously arrogant. But it's clear that he's a very incompetent person, so I really don't understand where he gets his confidence. Another Valkyrie next to her said disdainfully. She spoke in a strange tone, as if she was speaking like she was meant to do so.
Xiu Gang wanted to say something, but saw Otto stand up: "Report to the teacher, they disturbed me listening to the class and insulted me!" ”
Otto was shocked when he did this.
People who don't understand are shocked that someone is making trouble in class, and they are not afraid of being driven away directly. And those who understand are shocked that there are still such shameless people in the world.
Actually complained to the teacher first?
"Teacher, I have to explain, he has been pointing at your lessons and saying that you are not good here and there are not good! Because his voice is so loud that it disturbs me, I will say him, he is the one who bothers me first! The Valkyrie was so angry that she quickly stood up and explained to Shalena.
"Yes, do you dare to say all the bad things you just said about me?" Otto turned his pupils to the corner of his eye to glance at the Valkyrie.
"Then you just said what the teacher said, do you dare to say it again!" Not to be outdone, Valkyrie was not to be outdone.
Otto smiled coldly and was about to speak.
"Shut up! It's class time, and arguing now will only waste other people's time! If you have a problem, wait until the end of class. Salena licked her lips, "I'll teach you what it means to be a tow!" ”
