181. Deep in the grass

Hao Dong felt that although he had no memory of riding a horse in the past, his body's reaction seemed to tell him that he actually knew how to ride.

During the two days of training in the pasture, he was stiff at first, but soon after reducing the thickness of the saddle, the trainer only led the horse and walked him a few laps, and he quickly adapted to it.

By the time he finished training yesterday, he was already able to run two laps at a speed that wasn't too fast.

Although it is still a bit far from the standard of a skilled rider, the speed of getting started is definitely not comparable to that of a pure novice.

Now that I am riding on horseback and stepping on the land of the vast grassland, the thing called pride and ambition in my heart involuntarily swells out.

Fortunately, his sanity was still very clear, and he didn't let himself do anything to try to ride a horse and whip immediately.

The sea of grass near here is very deep, and if a group of people scatters, they will soon be directly submerged by the grass that is one person high, and there is no way to see each other's positions. When walking, they can only hang leashes on each other's horses, and pull them forward in a string like a camel caravan.

Hao Dong was in the middle of the procession, with the queen in front and the three short ponies behind him.

Qi Jue opened the way at the front, making sure that nothing suddenly popped out of the grass to attack them wherever their team passed, Ergou followed him in the direction, and Zhao Zheng was alone at the end of the group.

Although there are ropes pulling each other, and they can definitely hear each other when they talk and shout, but when they walk, they can only see the grass moving in front and behind, and they have to pay attention to the blades of grass that hit their faces from time to time, Hao Dong feels a very strange feeling.

It's as if he is the only one walking here, and his teammates in front and behind are his own imaginations.

Fortunately, the area of this area is not very large, and after walking for half a day, the surrounding area gradually opened up a little bit. Then suddenly, Hao Dong felt that the vision in front of him suddenly became brighter, and they just walked out.

This experience is also wonderful, turning your head to see that there is still a sea of grass like a green gauze tent behind you; But when I turned around, I saw a vast field as far as the eye could see.

However, it is said that it is a wilderness, and in fact, the height of the grass can still reach the calf of a person. Hao Dong Most of the horses they were riding had no legs in the grass, and the three ponies behind them were all sticking to the tops of these blades of grass.

This situation is actually worse than in the green gauze tent before, so that snakes and insects are more likely to hide in the grass without legs, and they are often small in size, making it difficult to prevent them.

They have also done a certain degree of protection for this before, and the horses have leggings on their legs, and the horses also have protection on their stomachs. But even so, a small snake escaped everyone's sight on the way, and bit the horse on which the queen was riding.

The queen's riding skills were not shown at all in the previous two days, and only then did Hao Dong know what it meant to be hidden.

The horse was so frightened that he was about to run away with the rope that was implicated in them, but the queen grabbed the reins hard, and the whole thing stood completely upright. And the queen stuck to the horse's back like this, and with a single shot the head of the snake exploded.

Hao Dong felt that this picture was more exciting than the dangers he had experienced before, his heart was in his throat, and the person froze in place and forgot to move.

However, the others were very calm about this, and it was not until the queen calmed the horses that the two dogs got off their horses and ran over to remove the two pairs of fangs with half of the jawbones that were still stuck in the protective layer of the horse's legs.

And after seeing Hao Dong in a daze, he ran over to do science popularization for him: "See? Fresh fangs. Tsk, if there were no outer layers, the horse would be finished now. ”

It was the first time Hao Dong had seen this thing with his own eyes, and he felt that the appearance of the millet grains-like fangs alone was actually quite cute. However, as soon as Ergou explained it, he suddenly had no other thoughts.

This accident also reminded everyone, and they immediately dismounted and sprayed themselves and their horses with potions to repel snakes and insects.

The queen has a hot weapon in her hand, and she is unlikely to startle the horses when she uses a silencer. But except for her, the guns that everyone is carrying at the moment are all provided by Zhao Zheng, but there is no silence device, and it will be very expensive to shoot casually.

And if you use the cold weapons at your disposal to deal with this situation, it is difficult to say what kind of effect can be achieved.

More than half an hour has passed since this toss, and it has become a little impossible to go any further.

They came out early in the morning, arrived at the transit station near noon, changed horses and continued to go deeper, by this time the sun had turned westward.

If you don't find a camping place right away, it's easier to get into trouble at night than during the day in a place where the grass is so deep.

With this level in mind, everyone walked a little further, and after being a little farther away from the area where the grass was particularly tall before, they stopped and began to work on the ground and find a way to set up camp.

Grassland ecological protection is a very conscious thing, if you put it aside, Ergou will definitely not care too much. Even if there was such a thing as an urban adventure rule, it was not a legal word, and he might not fully abide by it.

For example, if he wants to go camping, he must just turn over a piece of land.

But Zhao Zheng had this sense of environmental protection, so in the end, with his efforts, he only cleaned up the area where the fire pit needed to be dug, and then just put down the grass and set up a tent on it.

It was the first time for Hao Dong to do camping work on the grass, and it felt particularly uncomfortable to operate. That is, Qi Jue has been helping by his side, otherwise he really doesn't know if he can complete this task.

But it's fun to do this, and in addition to snakes and insects in the grass, there are also a lot of unexpected cute things.

For example, the jerboa that suddenly came out of the grass and hit Hao Dong's backpack on the ground in a daze, and he was stunned.

When it first jumped out, Hao Dong was very startled, because it jumped very high, almost reaching the head of Hao Dong, who was squatting on the ground at that time.

As a result, the little guy himself wilted, and his two large, almost transparent ears covered half of his round head, and he spun in circles in a daze.

These mice are harmful, but they are really fun to look at. Especially with two big ears erected, just looking at the head looks like a rabbit.

However, they also have long kangaroo-like hind legs and a bare, but equally long, tail for balance, and the first reaction of a guy like Ergou, who is not an animal lover at all, is: "I'm so ugly!" ”

Hao Dong ignored him, and broke a small piece of steamed bread to feed the stunned little jerboa, that gadget was probably the first time he had seen a living person in his life, and he hadn't woken up yet, so he was not afraid, so he really came to Hao Dong's hands and ate it!
