Chapter 34: The Red Horse King

Qin Mubai was a little surprised, the king of the Wulan horse is the meaning of the red horse king, the problem is that the king of horses is almost impossible to appear in modern times, because there are no wild horses on the grassland of Inner Mongolia now, let alone Inner Mongolia, there are few wild horses in Outer Mongolia.

"I won't admit that I'm wrong, it's the King of Ulan Ma!" Battle's Chinese was a little rusty, with a thick Mongolian accent, but he still said in an affirmative tone.

"Cut, just this rotten horse, what about returning the king of horses?" said Bao Lige disdainfully.

It's just that as soon as his voice fell, the burly man Bartel standing in front of him turned his head directly, and the "snap" was a loud slap, and this slap was so powerful that it almost knocked down this man named Baolig.

"Shut up!" Bartel roared.

Bao Lige just wanted to fight back, but when he saw his angry appearance, he was immediately startled and decisively shut up, and the people around him were frightened.

"Odden, look at the wound on the left side of its neck, which was cut by the last time it broke free from the horse's chew when it was caught. At the time, we thought it was dead, but we didn't expect it to heal from its wounds later. Battle pointed to a long scar on the left side of the neck of the skinny horses.

Seeing that scar, Ao Deng also suddenly realized: "Yes, that's right, it's the King of Ulan Ma, it's just this ......"

Speaking of this, Ao Deng also stopped his words and fell silent.

"Young man, I'm sorry. The one named Battle suddenly walked in front of Qin Mubai, bowed down directly and said sorry.

"No, uncle, no, I didn't get hurt. Qin Mubai was taken aback, this etiquette is heavy enough, although this Mongolian man looks burly, he is estimated to be about the same age as his father.

"No, you love horses more than us little rabbits! This is the red horse king, the pride of our Ulagai steppe. Battle's face was serious, his Chinese was not very good, but Qin Mubai still understood.

"This, uncle, can you tell me why it has become the way it is now, since it is the king of horses. Qin Mubai couldn't help but ask.

Battle's gaze crossed Qin Mubai, looking at the red horse king's eyes were a little complicated, and Ao Deng next to him sighed and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"The Red Horse King is what we called it, it was originally a wild horse, to be honest, we didn't expect there to be wild horses on the grassland all these years, but it is really a wild horse, at least we don't know where it came from. ”

"And it should still be mixed-breed, Mongolian horses can't grow so tall, the first time it was found was about 7 years ago, at that time it should be two or three years old at most, but it was already the king of horses, it didn't know which herdsman's house took several horses, and he took a small herd of ponies with him. ”

"It's in our generation in the Ulagai steppe, and a lot of us herders want to catch it, but you know, at that time, it was so fast that even we couldn't keep up with it by car or motorbike. Ao Deng's face was full of emotion.

"Over time, for us herdsmen, slowly no one catches it, and they are protecting it together, it is like an eagle on the grassland, since I saw a wild horse king when I was very young, we have never seen the horse king again, you ask Battle, all the old herdsmen we have a private meeting, not to catch it, it is our pride, our pasture is also free to enter. ”

"But in the end, it was still unable to resist the capture of people with intentions, and then I don't know how the news of it spread, about two years ago, it was finally caught, caught with a tranquilizer gun, and later sold to a rich man in Fuzhou. Odon sighed.

"Fuzhou?!" Qin Mubai and everyone were stunned.

"Yes, the rich man transported it back to Fuzhou by car, and it is said that he had a horse farm in his own hands, but then we heard that after returning to Fuzhou for more than a month, it ran away and was never found. Battle said in a deep voice.

With Battle's words, Qin Mubai and everyone's eyes focused on this skinny horse, Qin Mubai was in a trance for a while, as if the skinny body on its body suddenly became plump, not like now, the fur on the body was good, bald, like a bald moss, and the scars on the body were one by one.

How far is Fuzhou from here? It takes more than 2,700 kilometers just to walk on the highway! 5,400 miles! It has almost traversed most of China, and it is impossible for it to take the highway, but it can only go all the way in the wilderness, and it has to hide from wild animals and crowds all over the place.

And it just wants to return to this grassland that gave birth to it and raised it, what kind of obsession is this, everyone fell silent, quietly looking at this former horse king.

You must know that the one who can be called the king of horses, whether it is his strength or speed, is definitely the most powerful among the horses, and can be called the king of horses! Like most animals, among the wild horses, the one who can dominate the horses is definitely the most powerful one.

But now, there is hardly a trace of flesh on its body, most of it is skin and bones, and there are many scars on its body, it is difficult for you to know what it has experienced, it is difficult for you to understand how many wrongful roads it has taken, and you can't imagine what kind of force supports it to walk back to this grassland.

The eyes of the dozen or so middle-aged herdsmen around Battle were red, and although the young people didn't feel it so deeply, they were silent one by one.

"Its home is going to pass through this scenic spot?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Well, at that time, this scenic spot was not fenced with barbed wire, and its home was in the mountains behind, about a dozen kilometers. Battle nodded and spoke.

Now everyone understood why it was desperate to get in.

Qin Mubai raised his legs and walked directly towards it, "Little brother." Battle hurriedly shouted.

Qin Mubai stopped and looked back at him, "It doesn't let anyone get close, we actually caught it, but then even if we caught it, it was difficult to get close to it, as long as it was close, it would be directly kicked by mouth, at that time, the famous old herdsmen who could train horses within a radius of more than a hundred kilometers around us came to try, but no one succeeded, and it often went on hunger strikes by itself, so we finally let it go." Battle hurriedly spoke again, and at this point, Battle blushed a little.

It's just that the perennial wind and sun have made his skin darker, and he can't see it.

"That's right, don't go over, just a dozen of us, as long as we try to get close to it, it will directly pick up its hooves, no one can do it. A young man next to him suddenly spoke.

"It's okay, I'll try. Qin Mubai turned his head and smiled.

He could feel its emotions, and Qin Mubai believed that it could also feel its own, although he didn't know how to do it, but he couldn't sit idly by. More than 2,800 kilometers have been walked, and it can't be isolated at the doorstep of its own home.

"I'll send you home, I won't take you away, only you can go home with me. Qin Mubai slowed down his pace and said softly as he tentatively stretched out his hand.
