Chapter Ninety-Nine: I Come Here Every Day
The next day, Su Ma and Su Yuan also came back with her sister and mother, and as soon as she came back, she immediately came to Qingzhi's house to play, and since then, the two little dolls have come several times a day, and Aunt Su and Su Lan have never been seen.
Qingzhi started to be very happy: he was free to feed two small buns again! It feels like it's earned!
On this day, Qingzhi took two small buns to Ha Da Niang's house to drink tea, and Ha Da Niang suddenly talked about the Jockey Club to be held in the valley separated by several mountains next month.
Aoeda asked curiously, "What's that?" Can everyone participate? β
Su Ma Su Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!" Everyone can go! β
"It's very lively!"
"And there's a lot of good food!"
"In the past few years, Cousin Meglo has won every horse race, Auntie, will it be him again this year?"
Qingzhi found an opportunity and took the opportunity to ask, "You call him cousin, is Meglo the son of the headman?" β
Su Ma Su Yuan rushed again: "Yes! It's a child of the aunt's family who died! β
"His horse is always the fastest!"
Adhering to the businessman's intuition, Qingzhi asked, "Is it because the chief's son is richer and buys all good horses?" β
Su Ma Su Yuan looked at her with a shocked face, and even Aunt Ha couldn't help but say in surprise: "Of course not!" Meglo is the best rider in the whole mountain! β
"The horses of the herding team are all the same kind of horses, and some people take better care of them and may run faster, but in fact, they are all the same, and it still depends on the rider's ability."
"Qingzhi, you people in the town just think too much about things!"
It's our city that has a lot of(β₯_β₯)o
At dinner, Aoeda told Ritsukogawa about the Jockey Club and persuaded him to participate: "Ritsukogawa, you can go with me!" Uncle Ha also went, and his family hired a shepherd to herd the sheep that day, saying that he could even herd our sheep together. β
"I don't want to go."
"......, the son of the head man will also go, don't you want to take the opportunity to approach him and see if you can find out any news?"
Ritsu Zichuan's eyes shot like flying knives: "Are you going to take the opportunity to get close to Meglo?" β
"Huh? No, I just want to go to the Jockey Club and eat kebabs, I mean you go get close to him. β
"Not necessarily."
"But there's lamb skewers, and smoked horse sausages, and milk gnocchi, and honey yogurt......"
Qingzhi memorized the herdsmen's delicacies she knew very patiently, and Ritsukogawa didn't know whether she was persuaded by the food, or simply wanted her to shut up, and finally agreed to go with her.
"Great!" Aide-eda doggedly rushed to wash the dishes.
On the day of the concert, everyone went out before dawn, and it was very cold in the morning, but fortunately, Qingzhi had a natural heater behind Aunt Ha, which made her very grateful.
The Jockey Club is located in a flat valley not far from the home of the Aoeda family, and just over the col, there is a hustle and bustle, and you can see colorful flags fluttering in the distance, as well as a sea of people dressed in colorful festive costumes.
Aunt Ha was excited, hit the horse and rushed down, Qingzhi felt that she would be dismounted several times, and her face turned blue with fright, and when she arrived at the venue, she bought a big bowl of very sweet honey yogurt to suppress her shock.
After drinking the yogurt, Ritsu Zichuan and Uncle Ha also arrived, and the four of them wandered around the market at will, Qingzhi took the opportunity to buy fresh mutton, ghee, a brick tea, and a large piece of mutton fat soap, and some things that can be used daily at home, and bought a small can of cream and a round roasted naan, ready to make breakfast tomorrow.
After living in the mountains without shops for a long time, it was really healing to suddenly be able to spend a lot of money.
The things were almost bought, and the four of them went into a tea shop tent to drink tea, and the owner was very enthusiastic: "You guys go forward after drinking, and you can just see the running horse!" Don't miss out! β
The Jockey Club has a different race every day, and Uncle Ha's favorite horse race is today.
A few people quickly finished their tea and squeezed to the front with their things.
There were too many people, and Qingzhi huddled between the two young girls, looking enviously at their turquoise necklaces.
Suddenly, they all shouted excitedly, and Song Qingzhi was surprised, and a black shadow in the shape of a horse flashed in front of him.
Well? I didn't see anything, hey!
Then there was a whoosh, and the horses galloped past, and the two girls asked each other, "Is Meglo the first to pass?" β
"Yes! He had red silk on his horse's tail, I remember! β
Aoeda craned his neck to look at the finish line, and from afar, he saw a man who looked like Meglo winning proudly.
At the end of the race, Ritsu Zichuan didn't know where to get out of the crowd and took her out of the crowd, and soon Aunt Ha and Uncle Ha also rushed over.
Aunt Ha was so excited that her face was red, and she asked Qingzhi, "Did you see Meglo?!" Run too fast! β
Before Qingzhi could answer, Uncle Ha said unhappily: "I could run so fast when I was young!" β
Ritsukogawa also whispered to Qingeda, "I can run faster than him." β
Aunt Ha and Qingzhi exchanged a 'man is so naΓ―ve' look and changed the topic.
A few people walked to the place where the horse was bolted, and Qingzhi was about to climb on Aunt Ha's horse, but Ritsu Zichuan said: "Qingzhi and I will go back together, Aunt Ha's horse is tired." β
Qingzhi glanced at Aunt Ha's horse suspiciously, and felt that it didn't look tired.
Ritsukogawa turned on his horse, reached out and lifted the green branch and put it on his horse.
It's a bit strange for cousins and sisters to ride together, but Ritsu Zichuan looks like a matter of course, and Aunt Ha and Uncle Ha are just that.
Qingzhi was about to complain, but after leaning back, he found that Ritsukogawa was much thinner than Aunt Ha, and he sat up more stretched on horseback, and his muscles were very strong, with his own backrest function, which was more suitable for Aoeda's needs in the afternoon than Aunt Ha's stove function.
After climbing over a mountain, the four of them walked to an open meadow, and Ritsu Zichuan said behind Qingzhi's ear: "I just said that I can run faster than Meglo, do you remember?" β
"Remember, remember! Terrible! β
"You don't believe me?"
"No, no!" It's not that I don't believe it, I don't care about it, it really doesn't matter if you run faster or slower......
Then Ritsukogawa waved the whip, Qingzhi's body soared and fell again, the horse pulled its legs and galloped, Ritsukogawa said in her ear: "Look, I run faster." β
Qingzhi really wants to scold her mother! The world should be ruled by women: men are really too naΓ―ve! It's unbearable!
The horse galloped all the way, running through the meadow at the speed of light, and then rushed to the top of the mountain, and Ritsukogawa reined in the horse.
Qingzhi didn't wait for him to speak, and praised: "It's too fast! Terrible! 666οΌ β
Big brother, please don't run anymore, I've already served.
Ritsu Zichuan pointed forward with the reins: "Did you see that?" β
"See, see, see! Your horse is too fast, the speed of light! β
Ritsukogawa smiled, "What are you talking about?" I'm asking if you see our yurt? β
Only then did Aoeda realize that she could clearly see the yurt from here.
"I come here every day to herd sheep, and sometimes I can see you busy in front of the yurt."
