Chapter 536: The Way Home (22)

The horse was munching on the grass. The reins of the horse hung on the grass, and as it moved, the rope bent the grass so that it lay straight on its stomach. The horse rope seemed unwilling to be dragged and pulled the grass desperately.

Qingcao has an unyielding mission in its heart, and it is pulled by the horse rope from the bottom to the head, lying face down once. Its unyielding mission is so tenacious. In its eyes, the rope is nothing more than that, its bottom is upturned, and as the rope moves, its waist is cocked again. When the rope passed, it raised its head again, as if with great strength, and trembled back and forth, and still looked at the blue sky and basked in the sun, as it had done before. It's as if nothing ever happened.

The word 'run' also flashed through the horse's thoughts. But where can it go? It has been domesticated to the point where there is little wildness. What it will encounter when it runs, it does not know. Encounter a wolf, meet a tiger, meet a poisonous snake?

Or meet a wild horse, a horse that has never been in a stable, a horse that has never enjoyed the treatment of being clothed to reach out for food, and a horse that has never been whipped? It fears that when it encounters them, it will be kicked in the belly, its intestines will run all over the ground, it will be surrounded by wolves that smell blood, it will be chased by bears that smell blood, and it will be ridden on its back by the king of the deep forest to gnaw its throat.

Thinking of this, the horse's belly is trembling, its feet are trembling, and its throat is itching.

It hissed, but it was better to be near humans.

The mind of the horse to run away is less than the thought of staying. This is exactly the opposite of what the soldiers think. The village owner did not make his statement clear, and it was difficult to compare his thoughts with those of the horse.

The horse gnaws on the grass, and it does not go too far from people. He nibbled on the grass at will, and moved his steps at will.

The soldier walked briskly towards the horse, grabbed the reins of the horse hanging on the grass, and said, "Ah! He took the reins of the horse and pulled it away from the grass it was gnawing on.

"Hey, let's go!" The soldier shouted.

"Let's go! Walk! The soldier dragged his horse to the village lord.

The horse did not resist the soldier too much and followed the soldier.

The horse was pulled over by the soldiers, and the village lord pointed out, "Tie to that tree." ”

The tree was not tall, more than three feet in curves, and there were some branches and leaves at the top, like the umbrella of a mushroom. The branches below have been broken, and there are many knots, two in each bend.

The tree was crooked, stiff, bowl thick, and its bark was ugly, with a crack more than a man long, revealing gray-black wood.

The wood is not gray and black, but has changed color after a long time of dew. The wood in its skin is pale yellow.

The soldiers took the horse and tied it to the tree.

"You can't run if you want to." The horse was tethered to a tree, and the village lord said something to it.

The horse was tethered, and the village owner was no longer so worried that it would run away. He looked around and said, "Sit, sit and wait for that little soldier to bring those hunters." Let's watch the killing of the horse, let's watch the Orion dismember the horse's body. ”

The three soldiers turned their heads to find a place to sit, and they all replied, "Yes, the village master." ”

······

The soldier rode and whipped his horse and chased after the four hunters.

"Drive!" The horse ran, and the wind blew its face and its clothes. As they were about to leave the woods, the soldiers searched for the four hunters.

The four hunters were still like that, with hunting things hanging on their shoulders, backs, and waists. They did not speak, but went northwest, went around to the west of the village, and went home by the west gate.

"Drive!" The sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers have run out of the woods. The four hunters, far smaller, moved on the grass. Their pace is not so fast, as if they are walking in the desert, it is difficult to walk and dull.

"Drive!" The soldier shouted and whipped in pursuit.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The horses galloped quickly, and the soldiers gradually moved away.

······

Orion is armed with a steel fork and a hunting gear. They don't speak, and they walk really dullly. The sound of horses' hooves gradually grew from far to near. The tall, thin Orion looked back and saw a familiar soldier, riding with them.

The Orion had been walking dullly, and he was still a little depressed. He did not know that the soldier had come after them, and thought that the soldier had followed them all the way through the west gate.

These are friends who often go into the woods to hunt together, and they don't talk anymore, and when they hunt together, they are a little embarrassed. He said, "There is a soldier in the back, who has followed us all the way on horseback." ”

The three Orion friends also heard the sound of horses' hooves, but they didn't look back. When they heard this, they looked back at each other. Seeing that the soldier was familiar, he looked twice, then turned back and continued his dull walk.

The tall and thin Orion saw the three friends look back twice, turned back and still walked, not saying a word. When he saw this, he stopped talking, and walked with him in a dull manner.

"Drive!" The sound of horses' hooves was close behind.

Immediately about to catch up with a few hunters, the soldier pointed with his whip and said, "Wait a minute. ”

The four hunters stopped, and they wondered in their hearts, was the soldier calling them? They looked over to the soldier, who had just taken the whip back.

The soldier retracted his whip and shouted, "Wait a minute. ”

The "driving" hunter stopped, and the soldier retracted the horse.

The sound of horses' hooves is no longer so loud.

"Drive" "Phew! "Coming to the side of a few hunters, the soldiers restrained the horses.

The tall and lanky Orion looked up at the soldier and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The soldier held the rope and whip together, looked at the hunter, and replied, "I have something to do with you." The soldier sat on his horse and did not come down.

"Looking for us?" The four hunters, all muttering in their hearts, looked at the soldiers on their horses, wondering what the soldiers were looking for them? The tall and lanky Orion asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier thought for a moment and said, "Do you want horse meat?" ”

"Want horse meat?" The four Orions, their originally dull faces, flashed with a hint of joy. They hunt, and when they hear about animal meat, animal meat, or something, they always feel unusual.

The four Orions didn't understand too much, and the tall and lanky Orion asked, "What kind of horse meat?" ”

The soldier thought for a moment: "It's the horse with the broken foot." ”

"A horse with a broken foot?" Orion's heart, which was tall and lanky, said, "That horse was killed by the village lord and the meat was divided?" He asked, "Then the horse let the village master kill him?" ”

The other three hunters all looked at the soldiers.

The soldier replied, "No." The village lord wants you to kill and give you some horse meat. ”

"Let's kill, give us some horse meat?" The tall and lanky Orion said, looking at the soldiers.

Tall and thin Orion asked, "Give me more horse meat?" ”

The soldier replied: "The village lord said, give the four of you a few pounds of horse meat, let you do a favor, kill the horse, dismember it, and move it to the carriage." ”

"How many pounds of horse meat for the four of us?" Tall and thin, Orion read to himself. He looked at the soldier. Three of his Orion friends also looked at the soldiers. They felt that the village owner was insulting them. It's been so far, go back and help him kill the horse, and have to dismember and carry it to the carriage. Four people, so big horses, only a few catties of horse meat?

The tall and thin Orion asked, "Is there a little less horse meat for this?" By the way, is the village owner still there? ”

The soldier replied: "The village master is still there, if you think there is little horse meat, how about giving each of you a catty?" ”
