Cookies don't taste good, especially if they don't have much water to moisten the mouth.

Chen Jianqiu slept badly that night, and they chose a place where the rocks were leeward of the rocks to build a temporary camp, so that they would not be crushed to death by the rocks blown down by the wind in the middle of the night.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in the Continental Wasteland was extremely high, and despite the presence of a campfire and a jacket, it still made him feel cold. Asuka pulled some of the bushes that didn't look so prickly nearby, and the three of them slept until dawn.

Then they found a more serious problem.

There is not much water left.

The horses were scared away last night and took all the hydration bladders with them, even their original Charles. Now all they have left is half a bag of water in the hands of the birds.

"Boss, we have to die here." Sean looked up at the sun overhead. Worried.

"Do you regret not holding back last night's bag of pee?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at the black man who was full of apprehension, with a hippie smile, "Don't worry, it's really not good, you can chew the grass on the ground." ”

A gust of wind blew, and a few lumps of yellow tumbleweed rolled merrily in front of them, and the negro was speechless at the tease, and his face, because of the color of his complexion, did not change much.

"Chen, look, there's someone in front." Asuka led the horse and said abruptly to the two of them.

Chen Jianqiu looked around, not far from the road, a burst of yellow sand was raised, and a passer-by was riding a horse, along the main road, in their direction.

Sean trotted down the road, and Asuka hurried behind. The two stopped in the middle of the road, waving their arms and shouting at the horses.

"Hey, stop!"

When the horse was about to approach, it first slowed down gradually, and then stopped about a hundred meters away from Sean and the others, and the man on the horse seemed to observe it, and then immediately turned the horse's head, turned his head and ran.

"Don't toss." Chen Jianqiu led the horse and walked over.

Based on the cognition of those white people, coupled with the appearance of the three of them now, it is estimated that most of them are regarded as gangsters intercepting the road along the way.

"Let's hurry."

The three of them continued to walk forward for a long time.

Suddenly, a herd of wild horses appeared in their field of vision.

The native wild horses of the North American continent have long since become extinct, and many domestic horses have been "released" to the continent with the arrival of Europeans, such as the one they did last night.

Freedom is precious to any living thing, and as a result, domestic horses become wild horses, and wild horses form new populations.

"They seem to be drinking." Asuka said, sharp-eyed.

"Let's go, let's get some water first."

The three of them walked in the direction of the horses.

Chen Jianqiu observed the situation in front of him as he walked, and he also noticed the changes in vegetation along the way, there is very little rain here every year, if there is really water in front, it means that they are not far from the Green River.

But soon, his attention was drawn to a pure black horse in the herd, which looked taller than the other horses next to him.

As he got closer, he could see the horse's fur black from top to bottom, and its muscles accentuated the intoxicating lines in the sunlight.

At this time, it drank two sips of water, raised its head, and scraped the ground with its hooves impatiently.

"Asuka, let me ask you a question." Chen Jianqiu pulled the bird that was still looking around, "How to tame a horse?" ”

Asuka was a little confused: "First of all, you'd better approach the horse slowly when he is small......"

"And what about the adult mustangs?" Chen Jianqiu interrupted him.

"One thing, you have to let it recognize your ability and courage. Wait, you wouldn't want to catch a wild horse now, would you? ”

"yes, I think that dark horse is good."

Asuka was a little surprised, taming wild horses has not been studied for a few years, and if you don't fall a dozen times and bloom, can you do it?

Although the Chinese in front of him is very brave, the strong black horse in front of him is obviously the leader of the wild horse herd, and even the most experienced cowboy may not be able to handle it.

"Chen, this doesn't seem to be easy......" Asuka wanted to say something.

"Wait here and wait for me, you should eat and drink, I'll try it." Chen Jianqiu cat bowed down.

He hid in the bushes, cautiously approaching the horses from the direction of the downwind.

But he still underestimated the vigilance of the mustangs, and the dark horse felt the movement, like a movie that had been paused and suddenly pressed the play button, and rushed out like black lightning.

The horses, who were still drinking water just now, also ran along.

"Get on the horse!" The sound of the bird came from the back of Chen Jianqiu's head, and along with the voice, it was Huey, who was also galloping, the bird's mount.

Chen Jianqiu took the bird's hand and turned over and jumped onto the horse.

Asuka handed over a lasso: "Wait a minute, put a lasso on the horse's neck." ”

The two of them followed closely behind the herd.

A stone rock appeared in front of him, and the black horse changed the direction of progress in the high-speed advance, Chen Jianqiu saw the opportunity and threw the lasso.

The dark horse was not in a hurry, the horse's head turned, and the lasso was empty.

Huey also seemed to have lost his temper, and he rushed forward as if to fight the dark horse. But after all, there were two more people on his body, and the dark horse suddenly increased his speed, and the group of horses instantly opened a distance, and the relationship between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger.

It didn't even use all its strength just now.

"We only have one chance!" Ignoring the dust blowing in his face, the flying bird said to Chen Jianqiu.

The lassoe behind him slowed down his breathing, fixed his eyes, judged the ups and downs of the black horse's body, and shot the lasso in his hand again.

The lasso was faster than the last time, and the black horse wanted to dodge, but it was sturdy.

It shook its head suddenly, and Chen Jianqiu, who was on the other end of the lasso, suddenly felt a huge drag force coming down the rope. The whole person was caught off guard and was instantly dragged away from the horse.

This horse is so fierce.

Chen Jianqiu looked at the galloping horses behind the black horses, and knew that falling to the ground would inevitably end up being dragged hundreds of meters, and then trampled to death by the horses.

He clamped Huey tightly between his legs, half of his body leaned out, his waist and abdomen tightened, and his arms were bruised like a green dragon.

Asuka whistled, and Huey borrowed his strength to desperately close the distance between him and the dark horse again.

When he was still half a body away from the black horse, Chen Jianqiu exerted force with his legs, jumped forward, and pounced towards the black horse.

He held the rope in his left hand, slapped his right palm on the black horse's buttocks, twisted his body, and then landed firmly on the horse's back.

The black horse's buttocks ached, and he spread his hooves and galloped forward, leaving the horses and birds behind in a blink of an eye. Chen Jianqiu clinged tightly to the horse's back, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and his hands grabbed the horse's mane to prevent him from being thrown off.

The black horse grew furious, writhing its body frantically, trying to shake off the maggot on its back.

A broken rock several meters wide appeared in front of him, and the black horse strode forward, jumped high, and landed on the ground with a height difference of more than one meter behind the broken rock.

Half of Chen Jianqiu's body was tossed high, and he tried to keep his balance, but his ass was still thrown off the horse's back.

He grabbed the horse's neck with one arm, and when the back half of his body landed, he touched the ground with one foot, like a dragonfly touching water, and then turned lightly again onto the horse's back.

The black horse was so irritable that he ran faster and faster, beads of sweat oozing from his black skin. And the guy on his back wasn't much better. This man and horse were in such a stalemate, galloping across the desert of the western plateau, towards the horizon where the sun was about to set, all the way west.
