Chapter 51: The Wind Blows the Grass Low

The night was not completely dark, and the sheep here were grazing leisurely, and in Chen Chao's eyes, he could already see a few giant wolves sporadically or howling at the moon, or burying their heads in the road, turning a deaf ear to some gray-haired hares that were just passing by, turning a blind eye.

Chen Chao had a certain amount of preparation for the fact that there would be wolves, the giant wolf he had encountered in that black forest before was obviously not a lone wolf, and the oily and slippery fur proved that its nutrition was good, and only wolves could provide it with such good nutrition.

Moreover, the wolf pack is a very social animal, and if you can meet the giant wolf alone, it means that there is a whole group of giant wolves nearby.

It's good if they're here now, if they don't, they'll have to rush up and find them! Because the third step of the online horse scam plan is to rely on external forces to drive the wild horse herd out of the current territory.

Seeing that several giant wolves that had already acted as scouts had come to the edge of the grassland, Chen Chao quickened the cushion in his hand woven with vines. The cushion weaving is actually similar to the rattan basket, and it is finished when it is in the right place, but the two cushions woven this time have two longer vines on each side.

While weaving the cushions while looking at the wild horses and fluffy alpacas and sheep and other animals in the pasture, the most famous folk song of the Northern Dynasties came out of my heart inexplicably, 'Elechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome covering the four fields, the sky is firm, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and shows the cattle and sheep. ’

In the faint light of the sun gradually setting, what appeared in Chen Chao's eyes was such a scene, but unfortunately there were no horses and no cattle here, and he had no intention of reminding the wild horse herd.

They don't understand, they can't say it, and besides, it's exactly what I want, isn't it? Chen Chao thought silently in his heart.

The straw rope on his waist has been untied, and today when he was feeding the dates to the king of horses, Chen Chao took the opportunity to measure the approximate diameter of the mouth and head of the king of horses with his hands, and had already made two simple horse halters.

Horse halter is a commonly used harness to prevent horses from biting things indiscriminately, and a hard cage made of leather materials is a necessary tool to restrain horses and royal horses. During riding, the reins can be pulled to bring the bridle to a halter and the horse to stop.

The processing of the simple brill is actually relatively simple, and the core technology is to tie two identical knots to form two ring-shaped ears.

Then one ear is attached to the end of the rope and put it on the mouth, and the other ear is connected to the other end of the rope and put it around the top of the neck.

Finally, wrap a knot around the lower part of the neck, be sure to tie the dead knot, if you slip, the brill is easy to fall off.

Chen Chao was worried that if he directly made a circle around the horse's neck, not only would he not be able to control the horse, but it would be counterproductive.

Now I can't put a nose ring like a ploughing cow, and if the nose ring is not put on by then, I'm afraid I will be the one who will whine and mourn first.

And when plowing the land with horses, the halter is very convenient to use. In addition to the horse halter, in the past, only animals could be used to plough the land, the halter was not only for horses, but also for cattle, donkeys, and mules, which reflects the most important role of the halter: to fix the animals, prevent them from running around, so that they can obey human commands.

After making the horse halter, Chen Chao looked up at the sky, the moon had climbed into the sky, and several giant wolves had appeared scattered on the edge of the grassland.

They still didn't attack, just seemed to be waiting for something, occasionally raising their necks and letting out a few "whoop~", except for scaring the gray-haired hare that were about to leave the pasture, there was no deterrent to the wild horses that were eating the tender grass.

Chen Chao closed his eyes slightly, and within his visual range, he could already see a large number of wolves rushing here, and the wolves at the edge of the grassland, their howls, were just for the whole wolf pack to show the way.

Taking advantage of the fact that the large army of wolves had not yet arrived, Chen Chao saw the opportunity, and quickly walked to the place where the first rattan basket had been placed earlier. He put his hand into the dirt bag and lifted it up, and the whole rattan basket was lifted.

Chen Chao's movements attracted the attention of the giant wolves, whose ears were pricked up, staring at the two-legged beasts that were running on the edge of the grassland. Constantly evaluating the combat power of this two-legged beast, and finally came to the same result as the wild horse herd.

That is: this two-legged beast looks like a rookie, probably similar to a sheep with low attack power. He doesn't seem to be running fast, and his strength seems to be very small. There are no weapon buffs such as hooves and horns... It must be a very weak and very good animal to kill.

As soon as he turned around, the rattan basket was carried to his body, and the clods of soil attached to it were quickly shaken off along the gaps in the rattan basket as Chen Chao ran quickly.

Finally running back to the vicinity of the horses, Chen Chao was obviously relieved, in his perception, the wolves were already less than five kilometers away from here!

Put the small stone into the clothes in front of him, for the sake of safety, he used vines to firmly fix the small stone, and finally the two were tied together, and the small stone could only barely get out of Chen Chao's neckline.

But fortunately, there was no neckline in this simple animal skin garment, but the two animal skins were fixed together in front and back, and the junction between the sleeve openings and the shoulders was only made with stones and fixed with vines.

This is convenient to be able to put small stones inside, and because of the barrier of animal skins, when carrying the rattan basket, it will not be uncomfortable.

Although Xiao Shi is very puzzled, but the life he has been living all the time, he has subconsciously obeyed the requirements of others, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as he can eat every day.

What's it just to be tied up?

What's more, this person's body is so warm...

A small stone with a big head poked out of the neckline, and he looked at Chen Chao curiously.

Chen Chao just used his chin to soothe and appease him, and then did his own thing.

And Xiao Shi also obediently pulled his head on Chen Chao's shoulder, looking at the giant wolves in the distance who were emitting "Woo~Woo~".

The rattan basket that was carried in front of him had been given up by Chen Chao, and the clothes in front of him were stuffed with a lot of salted meat in addition to small stones.

Clay pots and bowls are also discarded, and the rice that has not been eaten before is thrown away at the lake, and whether it can grow in the next year depends on their own luck.

After making all the preparations, Chen Chao picked up the completely sealed rattan basket again, quietly touched the side of the horse king, fed two dates to his mouth, and quickly put the horse halter on his head while the horse king was eating.

However, Chen Chao didn't try to control the king of horses now, and fed three small pomegranates to the king of horses, and pretended to accidentally drop a few.

Taking advantage of the fact that King Ma lowered his head to pick up the small pomegranate on the ground to eat, Chen Chao quickly went around to the side of King Ma, put the cushion he had knitted before, connected it with both hands, and quickly tied the two longer vines that were left behind.

The king of horses, who had eaten the small pomegranates on the ground, reacted, huh? Why do you seem to feel a little uncomfortable? What did this two-legged beast do to me?

"Gaba Gaba..."This fruit is so delicious...

How did the two-legged beast feed the other horses? No matter what, the tender grass is so delicious...

Poof...

Except for the itchy face, I don't seem to feel anything strange...

Seeing that the king of horses did not have obvious resistance to the halter and cushion on his body, Chen Chao also breathed a sigh of relief, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as these two things can be fixed, are you afraid that you will not find a chance to climb on the back of the king of horses~~

The unused horse halter and cushion were not discarded, but were tied to the rattan basket behind by Chen Chao, anyway, they were all similar to ropes, just find a gap in the rattan basket and wear it inside.

The stone axe is not lost, everything can be lost, this thing must not be lost.

Chen Chao originally planned to burn a small hole in the handle of the axe and tie it to his waist with a rope, but considering that it was inconvenient to take, he still chose to insert it directly into the crotch cloth on the side, and then twist it to fix it and it was over, so that when he wanted to use it, he would pull it down, and the whole stone axe could be held in his hand.

After making sure that he would not fall off the jump, Chen Chao did not come to the side of the king of horses for the first time, and deliberately found a place far away from the king of horses.
