Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Ancestor of the Ma Family
Although Dabao has frequent compliments from his subordinates, he does not have a teenager of his own size, and his grandfather has an explanation behind his back, so he must work hard to win over and strive to learn all the horse breeding techniques.
So the two teenagers became good friends, and Xiaomanu also lived a good life, what is a good life, there is food and drink without being hungry, there are clothes to wear without being cold, and there is a comfortable place to sleep, such a day is a good day.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the two teenagers grew into young men, and this year was also the year when the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom developed the grassland county.
After this day, all the good days that should have gone on came to an end, and since the departure of Dabao, Manu's life began to change, first the shelter, then the food, and then the ridicule of the other subordinates.
It was only at this time that the horse slave realized that he was still just a slave raising horses, and he was nothing but his own use.
When Manu was a child, he heard his father say that his family was also a big family a long time ago, but due to the destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the turmoil in the mainland, the family fell into the middle.
Little Manu didn't understand what a big family was, but his father told him that our ancestors started by raising horses for the Great Zhou, and now although we are slaves, we also have to raise horses as a way to survive.
My father taught me a lot of horse breeding techniques, and it wasn't until my father was dying that he told himself a story about their family's ancestors whose surname was Ma, but in fact, the earliest ancestor was not surnamed Ma.
Why did it change later, but it is a legend, the ancestor of the Ma family was also born as a horse slave, and lived with horses since childhood, and there was a small white horse in the family at that time, which was very extraordinary.
The owner cherished it very much, so he handed it over to his father at that time to feed, the horse's diet was better than that of their whole family, so that day by day, the ancestors of the horse family often accompanied the pony, and the feelings were deep for a long time.
The ancestor miraculously learned the language of horses and could communicate with horses fluently, and after another two years, the horse had grown into a tall horse.
But the days of separation began, and when the horses had grown into horses, they began another experience of their own, while the ancestors of the Ma family were still only slaves.
At that time, the Great Zhou had unified the mainland, and it could be said that the four seas were still invincible, and Ma Zheng had begun to be abandoned, and most of the horses had become tools for pulling goods.
But there is one horse that is very popular, that is, horse racing, horse racing can be said to be a game between nobles, but also a way to show the family heritage, but also a kind of gambling behind the scenes.
The little white horse's divine steed was quickly favored by its owner, and it was often taken with him as a means to show himself, and there was a distinction between people and people.
For slaves, the master is the biggest heaven, but for the slave owner, the official is the sky, and if this continues, there will always be someone higher than himself.
The horse also changed hands several times because of the horse, and finally reached the real aristocratic circle, that is, the top ones.
In the end, it fell into the hands of the crown prince at that time, and His Royal Highness the prince can be said to be the most honorable person except the emperor, and it is only at this time that he can be regarded as stable.
On this day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince traveled to the hometown of the white horse, and when he passed through this place, the white horse, who had always been very honest and obedient, actually began to run wildly.
Sitting on horseback, the prince was very surprised, but he didn't stop it, now it is in the Great Zhou country, it can be said that it is very safe, and there is nothing to worry about.
In this way, he ran for twenty miles in one go, until a grassy slope stopped, and in front of him lay a young man in rags, looking very poor.
The horses were so happy that they were kicking their hooves, and the prince on the horse could feel the joy of the horses, and when the young man heard the horses barking, he got up and was glad to see the white horse.
He communicated with the white horse, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very novel, so he stepped forward to talk to the young man, and only then did he learn the story of the young man.
At that time, there were many supernatural people in the Great Zhou, but there was no one who could communicate with the horses, so the prince had a heart of love for talents and accepted them to raise horses for himself, and the fate of his ancestors has changed since then.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the help of the ancestors of the Ma family, and he has also won many honors during horse racing.
Since then, the ancestors of the Ma family have been famous all over the world, and the technology of being able to communicate with horses has been passed down for a long time.
Later, the ancestor changed his surname to Ma, and the family has been passed down to this day.
At that time, Xiaomanu heard this story very novelly, and he was even more envious of the fate of his ancestors, when will he meet someone who appreciates him?
"When life got better, Manu thought that fate had changed, and it turned out that he was still a Manu."
Without your own unique technology, it is very difficult to change your fate.
I still remember asking my father how my ancestors learned horse language, and my father said with a smile: "Our family has inherited a few words for hundreds of years, living with horses, feeling their joys, sorrows, and listening carefully to their voices."
At that time, I thought my father was joking, how could such a powerful technique be so simple.
In the past few years, Dabao has been asking himself about Ma Yu, and he said the same to him, but Dabao always doesn't believe his words, and even he may not believe it.
After this blow, Manu decided to calm down and do his best, and start working hard from the stable!
Since then, Manu has moved back to his original residence, and he has to huddle with the horses every day, even if it is the forage that the horses eat, Manu has to taste it himself.
The state at the moment was ridiculed by all the subordinates, but he didn't care, he still went his own way and ignored the others.
"The middle family also came to observe a few times."
I didn't find anything abnormal, I thought it was this kid who was in a mood, so I didn't pay attention to it again.
After that, Manu was forgotten, and a year later, suddenly one day, Manu really understood the language of the horses, at first it was just a few words, such as hungry, thirsty, and convenient, and then understood more and more words.
Until you can understand all the horses' voices, and even more so you can communicate with them.
At this moment, Manu can be regarded as really growing, but that's it, although Manu already has technology, he has not met Bole.
Manu knew that he needed a Bole, and this Bole would not be the head of the family, nor would he be a great treasure, but only a nobleman.
Manu began to pay attention to the outside world, and in his spare time, he communicated with beggars and storytellers to learn about the situation in the Great Xia Kingdom at that time.
After such a long time, Manu was ready to run away, and Manu did not feel that there was anything wrong or evil about the escape.
Because my father said that others treat us as slaves, but we can't treat ourselves as slaves, we are free, and the world is not born with a hierarchy, and the so-called hierarchy is just a tool for the wicked and fooling the world.
Why!
Because for heaven and earth, how many years you can live has nothing to do with your identity, and for heaven and earth, whether you are sick or not has nothing to do with your identity.
For heaven and earth, after death, there is no difference between the death of a human being and the death of a slave, and they must be buried in the ground......
The so-called nobility is just a means for the devil to deceive people, the so-called need for money is just a means for the devil to enslave you, and what you need is already there when you are born.
This day, this earth, this air for sentient beings, this water for sentient beings, every stone provided for sentient beings, every flower and plant provided for sentient beings are provided for sentient beings for free.
There is no need to charge you anything, it is the cannibals, the demons who enslave you, the demons who make you driven by desire.
This is what my father said to him back then, and it has been passed down by the family, and it is still passed down by word of mouth to this day.
Manu's plan was:
First, fake your death first and get out, only by disappearing first and making others think that you are dead, you will not look for your own trouble.
Second, he disguised himself as a beggar and fled to Prairie County, where Manu knew that this was the place where he could display his talents.
Third, to find your own Bole, only truly virtuous people can take refuge.
Fourth, restore my horse surname, from then on my name is "Ma Teng" is a child of the Ma family a hundred years ago, due to the family in the middle, and live here, I have the horse family to raise horses to take refuge.
The whole process was planned in great detail, thanks to the teachings of his father as a child, and the good life that followed, during which he studied hard.
On this day, Manu suddenly disappeared, and Manu, who everyone didn't care about, was actually gone, and no one saw him appear for two days.
The horses he fed were unattended and screamed with hunger, which alarmed the other slaves, and was later learned by the head of the house, whose face was very ugly.
For the Ma family's horse breeding skills, I tried my best, and now I actually run away, and I don't know how many layers of skills my grandson has learned.
If you let it escape, I am afraid that it will be a disaster in the future......
Immediately, a large number of personnel were sent to look for it, and for a while, chickens and dogs jumped "in a mess", and they searched for a long time without yielding.
It wasn't until someone found the river and found Manu's clothes and shoes that they roughly judged that Manu should have drowned while bathing here, otherwise it would be impossible not to even wear clothes and shoes.
At this moment, the head of the family also came to the river, looking at the big river in front of him, his face was very gloomy, and now it seems that the kid is drowned, or if he dies, he saves a lot of trouble, but it's a pity that the horse breeding technology, maybe this kid really didn't inherit it.
At this moment, Manu was on crutches step by step, on the road to the grassland county, and a few years ago he had saved a lot of silver by taking advantage of the conditions given by his family at that time, but now it came in handy.
After sleeping all the way, he finally arrived in Prairie County, and when he arrived here, he didn't need to continue to pretend to be a beggar, but found an inn to take out silver taels to stay, and asked Xiao Er to buy him decent clothes.
After washing, Ma Teng changed into a different appearance, and no one would have thought that this was a slave who raised horses not long ago.
Ma Teng asked Xiao'er about the situation of horse breeding here, and learned about the local officials and the imperial court's recruitment of horse breeders.
Because of his in-depth understanding and a specific idea, he decided to visit the local horse administration officials first.
In order to be able to get the meeting smoothly, he also specially asked someone to make a prayer post, and cleaned himself up, and went to visit him when everything was ready.
The name of the horse official is Muqing, he is a strange soldier and a general, he fought in the world in his early years, and later retreated to the second line when he was older.
As a cavalryman, of course, I hope to be able to train the best war horses for the soldiers.
