Chapter Seventy-Nine: Killing and Eating Meat

After passing a field and skirting a village, the carriage stopped at a horse farm at the foot of the hill.

Zhuang Shang has cooperated with this side, Rui Xue knows about it, but he has never been here to see it in person.

There is a meadow at the foot of the mountain, and the water and grass are abundant, which is suitable for grazing.

The horse farm was run by a few merchants from the north, and in addition to horses, they also raised a lot of cattle and sheep to provide fresh meat for Kyoto.

Rui Xue remembered that before she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Yu and the others had sent a few wild horses here, because they were in good condition, and they wanted to tame them and bring them back.

It's all trivial, and I don't know if the horses are still there.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Fengnian stretched his body, the oncoming autumn wind and the mountains and forests with a wide field of vision gave him the illusion of returning to the north.

Rui Xue tilted her head to look at him, and her somewhat thin body was radiating vitality, more upright and dazzling than when she was in the mansion.

Gu Lian was chatting with the steward of the racecourse, and the two seemed to be quite familiar.

"Don't mention the horses sent by Li Zhuangtou, the wild ones are deadly. Our big boss personally went into battle, and we were all thrown down twice. ”

Gu Lian felt very funny: "Haha, you can't." I've seen the riding skills of the big masters, and we're on a par with the head of the village, how can you not even tame a wild horse, haven't you always called yourself a professional, can you tame any kind of horse? ”

The steward didn't care about Gu Lian's ridicule: "Those horses are really good, we don't know how easy to meet." ”

"Nonsense, and don't look at who sent it. When did we come up with a defective product? Gu Lian said very proudly, "Let's go, take us over to have a look."

The words fell and the steward came over to salute Rui Xue: "This is my young lady, and... Family. ”

Zhao Fengnian became Ruixue's family in this way, but he didn't seem to care much, but was very interested in the wild horses they talked about.

After seeing the ceremony, the steward led a few people to the stable, and talked about the horses sent by the village.

"Our head said that the head horse was in excellent condition, and we wanted to keep it for the hernia, but the horse was so desperate that it didn't look at the best mare in our field except for the few that were sent with it."

"Didn't you try to separate them?" Gu Lian asked.

"Why not, I've tried everything, either I don't eat or drink, or I run around, we're afraid that it will hurt us, so we can only go with it."

At the end of the stable, in a small cubicle, five or six tall, dark brown horses were tethered.

The fur was shiny and muscular, much taller and more beautiful than the horses that Rui Xue had ever seen pulling carts and riding.

When I saw someone coming, I kicked my hooves and snorted, and it was hard to do at first glance.

Zhao Fengnian took off the tulle covering his eyes, observed for a moment, and walked towards the horse with diamond-shaped white spots on his head without hesitation.

The horse was very resistant, took a few steps back, and looked at Zhao Fengnian approaching it with a slight warning in his eyes as if he could be psychic.

Rui Xue was a little nervous, and reached out to pull his sleeve, she just wanted to give Zhao Fengnian a gift to make him happy, if he was injured by this undisciplined wild horse, it would not be beautiful.

Zhao Fengnian looked back at her, and the serious and solemn look on his face startled Rui Xue, and he involuntarily let go of his hand.

I saw the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, let me tame this horse?"

Gu Lian doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, if Zhao Fengnian is out in public, it's too late for him to be happy.

It's hard to say anything about the steward, this horse is originally theirs, and if people want to challenge the limit, he can only bless it silently.

said: "Childe be careful." "After a careful inspection, you will saddle the horse.

Zhao Fengnian said: "No need. "Take off your robe and take matters into your own hands.

The horse was also strange, originally very resistant, but when Zhao Fengnian's hand touched the top of its head, body, and muscles, it gradually quieted down.

Zhao Fengnian led it out of the stable, and did not go to the fence dedicated to horse training.

One man and one horse, they walked slowly in the autumn wilderness, towards the stream not far away.

Many of the men in the horse farm have suffered at the hands of this horse, and one of them has broken his leg and is still lame.

Today, I saw that someone dared to touch this moldy head without dying, and they all chased after it curiously.

Although the horse was a little more obedient in Zhao Fengnian's hands, it was still not allowed to be ridden.

As soon as Zhao Fengnian got on the horse, the horse went crazy, but he couldn't get rid of the people on his back.

I saw Zhao Fengnian clamping the horse's belly, holding the reins, and forcing the horse into the half-human deep icy stream.

A man and a horse started a new round of competition in the water, splashing and neighing.

After about a cup of tea, the horse gradually calmed down, not in submission, but in the water.

Zhao Fengnian didn't plan to let it go, so he pulled the reins and led him deeper into the water.

Seeing that the stream was about to reach the horse's neck, the horse struggled.

It was about the fear of death that overcame the helplessness of being harnessed, Zhao Fengnian saw that the time had come, and led it ashore without much effort.

Before it could catch its breath, it raised the reins in its hand and pumped it down hard.

The horse was in pain, raised its front hooves, and rushed out like lightning, and in a few breaths, it disappeared from everyone's view.

The onlookers erupted in undisguised praise and admiration, it turned out that horses could still be tamed like this.

The method is a good method, but if you don't have real skills in your hands, you really don't dare to tame a horse in the water like Zhao Fengnian.

Gu Lian didn't look at Zhao Fengnian's liveliness, and while he was a little disappointed, he also had to admit that King Ning's strength was not comparable to everyone.

Men in this world love horses, just like modern men love luxury cars.

Rui Xue was very relieved that Zhao Fengnian picked the gift he liked.

Half an hour later, Zhao Fengnian rode his horse and came back satisfied.

saw Rui Xue standing in front of the car with a black face, and wanted to say something, but she felt that she was not in a very good mood.

Ruixue looked at his still damp hair, and his half-dried clothes that had been blown by the wind, and his face darkened.

Said fiercely: "Get in the car." ”

Zhao Fengnian wanted to say that he could ride a horse, but seeing that Ruixue seemed to be really angry, he didn't know the reason and wanted to ask.

After getting into the car, Ruixue turned her face away from him and stuffed the robe he had taken off earlier into his hand.

"Wear this first, and then find clean clothes for you to change into when you go back to the village."

Zhao Fengnian couldn't hide the joy in his heart, this was the most alive day he had since he returned to Kyoto.

There was a smile in his tone: "It doesn't matter, I'm not cold." That horse is really good, what is Wanwan going to do with it. ”

Ruixue was a little depressed, really, can't you see why I'm angry, and said about horses.

"Kill and eat meat!"

"Ah~!"
