Chapter 7: The Horse Thief
"A-Ning, have you heard of one thing, today, General Li's men and horses on the front line are issuing conscription orders on a large scale, and many strong men who are unwilling to go to the front line have been pulled away!"
"What's the matter, now our dog court has made our people miserable, and our two men can only sleep in the open like this!"
On the haystack in the small alley of the post station, two homeless homeless homeless people huddled tightly in the corner of the wall due to the cold of the rainy night, one of the homeless people with messy hair sighed to the other homeless man of the rib team: "This is not a bad thing, we have no door, no household and no trace, we will run when he comes, we will come back when he leaves, what can they do with us if we don't go to be soldiers, it's a big deal!" ”
"But what's the point of us living like this, people are not like people and ghosts, even a dog of an official eunuch can bark at us!"
"A-Ning, don't do anything stupid, we really don't have anything, but we still have a life, and if we don't have a life, we really have nothing!"
"But I really feel like I don't live like a human ......"
"You say you're stupid or not, you have an elm head, why don't you know how to think, you're human when you're alive, and you're a ghost when you're dead!" The homeless man with messy hair has been trying his best to persuade his brothers, who fled the famine together, not to die, but to live with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that his words were not strong, he still wanted to pull Zheng Qian, who was lying there cross-legged because he had no money to stay in the inn, and called Zheng Qian while glancing at Zheng Qian: "Hey, this brother, do you think what I said makes sense?" ”
"There is no reason for anything, there is no reason at all, it seems to me that you people with hands and feet are complacent here to live, it is a sign of cowardice! Isn't there a sentence that says that heroes will only be born in troubled times, how reasonable it is, this is an opportunity for you poor people who have nothing, to be added to the rank of knight, and to be called the king and marquis, but you threw away this opportunity, which is another stupid performance! Zheng Qian turned a blind eye to the homeless man's eyes, and now he should be more concerned about whether if the army comes to Shangqiu to recruit soldiers, it will happen like in the animation that Mulan will join the army for her father.
"If nothing else, aren't vagabonds like us, who have nothing, just as ridiculed when they go to the barracks?"
"You won't be ridiculed, when you go to the battlefield to fight on both sides, no one will care about a few pennies in your pocket, no one will care about how many acres of land you have at home, they just don't care if they can beat you to death, just whether you have your life or not, don't you say that you have nothing left but life, let me tell you, when you go to the battlefield, you will fight for your life!"
"But we ......"
"Stop, stop, where are there so many excuses, I don't want to hear more from you, I don't have the time to salted fish now! Although I don't have any culture, I still understand some simple truths, my mother told me when I was a child, there is no pie in the sky in this world, waiting for the pie to fall from the sky is only starvation, and the happy life that you don't pay for will always be just a mirage, you remember, troubled times, out of heroes! ”
Anyway, how can I be like a political teacher who teaches physical education to elementary school students......
According to Zheng Qian's understanding, no matter how useless a person is, as long as he can come to this world, he has the opportunity to fight bloodily among tens of millions of compatriots, and everyone has been brave and brave at the moment of being born in the world, but why don't these words sound so inspirational......

Zheng Qian took advantage of the sparse guards of the post station on a rainy day, so he took out a Swiss army knife with everything from screwdrivers to ear pickers, and cut the ropes of all the horses in the temporary stables of the post station from left to right. Zheng Qian tightened the rope of one of the strongest white stallions, jumped forward and rode up, clamped the horse's belly without hesitation, and blurted out a "ride".
Zheng Qian learned to ride a horse a few years ago, and his level was only to the level of being able to ride, but Zheng Qian had courage and agility, so he could drive a white horse proficiently at this time.
Many years later, Zheng Qian's memory and Mulan's first impression was the drifting heavy rain that night that did not stop all night, the heavy rain slapped on every wooden plank on the second floor of the large and medium-sized town Shangqiu, and the accumulated rainwater washed away the human and animal feces accumulated because there was no sewer, thus producing a fishy smell that made Zheng Qian pungent.
Zheng Qian, who was also riding a fierce horse in the storm, also washed Zheng Qian, forming a rain curtain on Zheng Qian's large-brimmed straw hat.
Every horse has its own temper, the stronger the more arrogant, this white horse ridden by Zheng Qian is unwilling to be easily controlled like this, it shakes its head and gallops unscrupulously and collides without scruples, and it is greatly bumped in the hope of throwing Zheng Qian off.
But for Zheng Qian, who has relatively high three attributes of strength, dexterity and wisdom, this is basically useless, Zheng Qian's body moves with the frequency of the horse's ups and downs, he pulls the reins with one hand and measures the upper body slightly forward, close to the horse's ear, hoping that his voice will be more undamaged in this storm: "Brother Ma, I know that you can listen to me and understand my words, and I also know that every horse is spiritual, now I hope you can cooperate with me and help me, I will also be grateful!" If one day I have the opportunity to return to my true hometown, I will also let go of the rope in my hand, and also let you go back to your real hometown, so that you can return to that endless grassland!
Follow me to the battlefield, you will no longer be a stagecoach, but a war horse, and you also want you to be a horse hero and make thousands of girls and horses crazy, right? Are you really willing to be the pawn of these ruffians who exploit the people, rather than choose a Bole who understands you better? ”
Every Maxima hopes to meet his own Bole, but it is not Bole that makes Bole a Maxima, but Maxima that makes Bole a Bole.
Zheng Qian stroked the horse's mane, the white horse may be really spiritual after listening to Zheng Qian's words, maybe he is tired and gave up resistance, the resistance is not as strong as before, and slowly understands that with Zheng Qian's body language and movements, he took Zheng Qian forward in the storm against the wind.
"Brothers, don't let that damn horse thief run away, we won't be able to deal with Major General Li when the time comes!" There was a roar behind Zheng Qian, and several soldiers tried their best to bring back the horses that Zheng Qian had released, and then it was time to deal with the daring horse thief who was immediately out of their sight.
With a sound of breaking through the air, an arrow "touched" and pierced the wooden pillar of the unknown shop on the right side of Zheng Qian, and the thigh-thick column was pierced by a solid wood iron-headed arrow attached to the powerful force. There was another sound of breaking the air, and the tip of the arrow pierced the right brim of Zheng Qian's big-brimmed straw hat, and the sharp arrow cut the right brim of the hat hard, and the solid wood iron-headed arrow did not stop at all after cutting off the brim, tearing and throwing into the night.
Then there was another sound of breaking the air, it should be the third arrow of that person, and this third arrow came directly to Zheng Qian's head, and Zheng Qian felt a violent fluctuation in the air behind him at that moment. There is no way to avoid it, Zheng Qian gritted his teeth and turned sideways, let go of his right hand that was holding the reins tightly, saw the opportunity, and grabbed the arrow shaft of the solid wood iron-headed arrow, the arrow slipped a finger distance in Zheng Qian's hand because of inertia, and finally stopped when it was about to get close to the tip of Zheng Qian's nose, which made Zheng Qian, who had a hot palm, also surprised, the power of this arrow was incredible.
On the verandah on the second floor of the post station, a young man of twenty-three or four wearing silver armor, handsome, personable, and powerful.
This young man is the major general Li Xiang voiced by Jackie Chan in the animation of "Mulan", and his strength can be seen by Jackie Chan, and this Li Xiang, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers at the behest of his father, happened to live in the post station, and he was Zheng Qian's number one rival in the future.
