Zhang Heng originally thought that Lightning was a pony, and Wendy did say so, but Zhang Heng ignored the time at that time, Wendy tamed Lightning when she was 7 years old, and five years later, Lightning had successfully grown into a big horse, with a tall body, bright fur, strong muscles all over his body, and bright eyes full of vitality and strength.

In contrast, the radish standing with it looks like it was given away for phone bills.

"If you want to pay a part of the payment, you can go to my family's ranch and pick a horse first......"

"No need," Zhang Heng interrupted the girl's words, "I'm more nostalgic, you're right, it's better for us to set off earlier." ”

"You have the final say." Wendy turned over and got on her horse, and her movements were skilful.

Zhang Heng also rode on the radish, and at this time the genius began to brighten, and most of the residents in the county were still asleep, and no one noticed the departure of the two figures, one big and one small.

…………

To Zhang Heng's expectations, Wendy has always been very well-behaved along the way, basically she only answers what Zhang Heng asks, and rides on the horse honestly at other times, but seeing that half a day has passed, the two have only walked half of the original plan, and Wendy can't help but speak.

"Sir, you don't have to worry about me, but speed up, I promise I won't be left behind."

"As you can see, my horse is very old, and I don't think it can withstand such a violent long run." Zhang Hengdao.

Wendy stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?"

"Your horse is very old, but not so old that it can steal grass when it walks two steps, and I think it's far from reaching its limit."

"Do you know horses well?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, to be precise, my father knows horses very well, and our family's ranch may not be the largest in Lincoln County, but my father is indeed the person who knows horses the most within a radius of 100 miles, and he gave me all the knowledge about horses."

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "How about we revise the contract we signed before." ”

"What?" Wendy suddenly became nervous when she heard this.

Her choice of Zhang Heng is also a helpless move, her father has been missing for many days, and there is no way to drag it on, but there are not many outsiders in Lincoln County, let alone Zhang Heng's pistol skills, but the two have never met before, she doesn't know Zhang Heng at all, and she doesn't know what kind of person the other party is, although she has been trying to show her composure, but this is no longer a hotel, if the other party really shows any bad intentions, she can't do much.

Wendy silently grasped the knife in her pocket with one hand.

Zhang Heng noticed her small movements, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "How about you teach me about horses, how about I charge you $10 less." ”

"Do you want to know about horses?" A strange look appeared on Wendy's face, and she let go of the knife, "What the other." ”

"All sorts of things, including how to pick a horse, how to raise a horse, how to ride a horse, how to calm a grumpy horse, and what exactly the spurs are going to use." Zhang Heng pointed to the barbed gear behind his boots, he had also seen this gadget from previous and western films, and knew that it was used to stimulate the horse to make the horse run faster, and at the same time, it could better free his hands to fight, but he had no impression of how to use it.

This is a more advanced skill, and he couldn't learn it that night with the bailiff.

"I'd love to share this knowledge with you, but it's mostly basic, and you might get impatient when you hear it." Wendy said cautiously.

"No, it won't." Zhang Heng, as a newcomer, how could he be long-winded.

"So where do we start?" It's the first time Wendy has faced such a strange request.

"Let's start with the type of horse." Zhang Heng pointed to lightning, "What breed is your horse?" ”

Wendy stroked her mane and said, "Lightning is an Indian pony, first brought to the American continent by the Spanish colonists, where it bred and eventually became what it is now, seven years old this year, according to the age of human beings, it has just entered middle age, and it is my best friend." ”

"What about it?" Zhang Heng then pointed to the radish and asked.

Wendy looked at the radish carefully for a while, "I want to take back the previous words, its breed is actually not bad, if I read it correctly, it should be a Hungarian mixed horse, it is a stable breed after a mix of many horses, this kind of horse is generally very intelligent, after training, it can often complete some tasks that other horses can't do, and it has a lot of self-control." ”

"yes, I didn't see it." Zhang Heng looked at the unorganized and undisciplined radish and said suspiciously.

"You've got to learn to control it, and it's getting old, probably almost twenty-five or sixteen years old, which is old age among humans."

"What about riding?"

…………

After a while, Wendy has determined that Zhang Heng is indeed a blank in a certain field, which seems a bit incredible to her, although there are still quite a few men on the east coast who can't ride horses, they travel by carriage and train, but in the west, especially in more remote places where trains are not yet developed, most men will learn to ride horses, especially Wendy's ranch environment, there are many equestrian masters around.

Although Zhang Heng himself never said that he could ride a horse, he came to Lincoln County by himself and on a horse, with his amazing spear skills and a pair of cowboy dress, people subconsciously thought that his riding skills were also very good, no matter how bad it was, it should not be so bad.

But it's too late to say anything.

Wendy can only comfort herself, at least she is safer, if Zhang Heng really has any bad thoughts about her, he can't catch up with her.

These thoughts just turned around in Wendy's heart, and did not express them, Wendy still kept patience along the way, and gave Zhang Heng all kinds of knowledge he wanted to know, Zhang Heng originally wanted to learn about the customs of the west by the way, but found that Wendy was also blank in this regard.

In her words, apart from a family outing, this was the first time she had been so far away from home, and in the past she had only been active in Lincoln County, or rather, her own ranch and the county seat.

Zhang Heng suddenly remembered a question and asked Wendy, "Does your mother know about you looking for your father?" ”

"Yes sir," Wendy said calmly, "I left her a note. ”

"That means you snuck out."

"No, I left a note." Wendy bites the nail on the head.

"That's why we call it sneaking out, and you didn't tell your mother because you knew she wouldn't agree."
