The dinner served by Dongsheng's family to Huwa was very "hearty", adding wheat noodles, bean noodles, a little salt and ground wild pepper grains to the arrowroot powder, filling it with vegetable leaves and boiling it into a big pot of paste, and serving it in a clay plate, which smelled very fragrant and appetizing. But the tiger baby only ate one bowl, so he asked them to bring everything back and eat it themselves.

Then Huwa heard the old couple and their daughter-in-law whispering in the hall, wondering why the little gentleman had only eaten one bowl? They were worried that the meal was too simple to suit the appetite of the guests, so they discussed getting up early tomorrow to kill the chicken. Huwa sat in the middle of the house and spoke in time to stop them, so that they didn't have to kill the chickens, and tomorrow when Dongsheng woke up, he would ask a few more words and leave.

Huwa claimed that he was cultivating, and it was not appropriate to eat more, and he didn't have to deliberately prepare anything for breakfast tomorrow, just what he usually ate at home. As for the chickens, it's better to keep them to lay eggs, so that Dongsheng can replenish his body.

Dongsheng has five chickens in the yard, all of which are hens that lay eggs, and most of the eggs are usually given to children and Dongsheng who needs to do heavy work. The eggs saved at home were taken out yesterday to thank the village elders who treated Dongsheng's bones, and when the tiger baby came, it happened to be gone, so they thought of killing chickens to entertain Mr. Xiao.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a rooster crowing in the village, and soon after, the clucking of a hen was heard in the yard of Dongsheng's house, followed by the sound of the old couple getting up. It happened that two chickens laid eggs on this day, and although the tiger baby didn't have to deliberately prepare a better breakfast, the old couple didn't kill the chickens, but served a bowl of wheat noodle egg custard. The tiger baby did not shirk and ate.

Pan Gu didn't know where to go to play, it hadn't stayed in Dongsheng's house since yesterday, and the child from Shidan also ran out, and soon the old man left with farm tools, leaving only two women at home to serve. After Dongsheng woke up, his injuries were no longer serious, and the tiger baby came to the bed and asked in detail about what happened. The point is, what kind of monster did he see?

This village is in the territory of Ryoma Castle, and legend has it that in ancient times, there were Rui beasts and dragons and horses in this area. The so-called Rui Beast is a thing incarnated by heaven and earth, born with divine abilities and psychic cultivation. Ryoma may not be a kind of horse, like a horse and a dragon, with the gift of supernatural powers, trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on the ground. Ryoma, who has cultivated to a high level, can also spread its wings and soar in the clouds, and it is said that in ancient times, the Emperor of Heaven drove a car with a dragon horse.

Legend has it that the founding king of Ba was in this place to subdue a dragon horse, carefully raised it, and rode the chariot of the dragon horse all over the mountains and rivers of Ba Yuan, so this place was called Dragon Horse City in later generations.

In those days, horses were rarely used for riding. It is mainly used to pull carts. Because the horse is tall, fierce and fast, it is difficult to grasp the balance when riding on it, it is easy to fall down and cause danger, and the clothes people wear are not suitable for riding horses. Domestic animals, such as cattle and donkeys, are slower and docile, and can be ridden as well as carts.

When the two armies fought, the warriors usually fought not on horseback, but in horse-drawn chariots. But in the legend, there are many masters, including many immortals. With all kinds of rare birds and beasts as mounts, I have also seen people riding horses and other strange beasts galloping in reality. Such people usually have advanced cultivation, are proficient in the art of controlling beasts, or possess exquisite kung fu that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Could it be that there is another dragon horse in the mountains and fields in this area? But listening to Dongsheng's description, it is not right. Dongsheng was terrified at the time, and thought that the monster was very scary, as if it was going to pierce and eat him with a single horn. But in his memory. The monster was clearly not the legendary Ryoma.

The mountain god once introduced the tiger baby to all kinds of beasts and birds in the world, many of which the mountain god himself had never seen and only heard the legend. According to what Dongsheng saw, the monster should not be Ryoma. On the contrary, it fits the characteristics of another exotic beast - the horse.

The horse resembles a horse and a tiger, with a straight and pointed horn on its forehead, and its four feet are not horses' hooves but tiger claws. There are also tiger teeth in the mouth. As long as it grows a single horn, it is a sign that the psychic can practice.

It is said that the horse is a close relative of the dragon horse, and the relationship is a bit like a wolf and a dog or a donkey and a horse. If you can get a horse and raise it from a young age, you will be able to trek through mountains and rivers in the cart drawn by the horse, and if you are proficient in the art of beast control and surrender it, you can even use it as a mount.

Huwa was very curious and interested, if there was really a horse in this area, running around to frighten the villagers, and possibly hurting people, then he would try to subdue it. In this way, not only can you benefit one party, but you can also get a strange beast to accompany you, and it is much easier to get on the road.

The tiger baby asked Dongsheng to recuperate from his injuries and recover in a few days, and then said goodbye and left. The two women in the family saw that the little gentleman said to leave, and they couldn't keep it if they wanted to.

Dongsheng's house is on the edge of the village, near the steep slopes of the mountains, on higher ground and far from other houses. Huwa had told the family yesterday not to spread the news of his arrival in the village, and only said that a passer-by had stayed overnight, so it did not cause any alarm in the village.

Many villagers were working in the fields, and when they saw the tiger baby walking by, they cast curious glances, but the work in their hands did not stop. It's the beginning of spring, the most important time of the year, when the fields have been ploughed, the seeds have been planted, and it has rained not long ago. Tender green seedlings two fingers long have grown in the ground.

After the rain, along with the seedlings, there are also various weeds, and the villagers are using farm tools to weed. Some seedlings are too dense and need to be thinned, while in some places the seedlings are not sent out, and they need to be transplanted and replanted, and the ridges of the fields need to be repaired at the same time.

Dongsheng, the strong laborer of the family, can't get up, Dongsheng's father has to do more work, if it weren't for the little gentleman at home today, the old woman would stay to take care of her son, and Dongsheng's wife also has to work in the field.

Descending the hill, the terraced rice fields are bustling with activity, and at the foot of the hillside is the largest and most important field in the village. The soil is fertile, easy to irrigate, and the terrain is relatively flat and open, stretching to the edge of the hunting garden. However, because the terrain is too low to protect against flooding, it is not suitable for building houses.

Among the mountains and forests around the field, there are many scattered crops such as hemp and beans, which reminds Huwa of the situation outside Lu Village, which makes him feel a little more intimate. The children were playing in the field under the hillside, but they couldn't see the figure of the pan gourd everywhere, and the tiger baby wanted to go to the hunting garden to explore the traces of the horses, of course, they had to bring the pan gourd, so they took out the bamboo whistle and blew it.

This whistle is inaudible to ordinary people, but before Pan Gu appeared, a war drum came from the mountains and forests in the distance. Listen carefully to the sound of war drums, but a strange beast roar, and then I saw a terrifying monster suddenly rush out.

The beast has a white body and a black tail like a horse, thick limbs, claws like tigers, a pointed and long horn on the door of the head that is bright silver, and a bush of mane at the base of the horn. The horn, which was more than an inch thick at the base and more than a foot long at the tip, shimmered with a little silver light in the sun, and rushed out with a loud snort, startling the villagers who were working in the fields.

People in the vicinity fled in surprise, children also ran up the high slope to cry for their fathers and mothers, and many people fell down in fright, and they didn't care about the pain to get up and continue running. The tiger baby then realized that it might be his whistle that caused the trouble, and ordinary people could not hear it, but let the monster run after the sound, and it was the horse he was looking for.

The horse galloped recklessly through the fields, trampling on the most fertile and open flat field at the foot of the mountain, and the villagers were so distressed that they almost cried, but none of them dared to provoke the monster.

Even if it was a bear or a wild boar, the villagers would snatch up all kinds of weapons to coax them away or hunt them. In the past, wild animals such as roe deer or muntjac often escaped from the mountains and forests, and most of them were hunted by the villagers as a delicious meal. But this monster was so terrible that no one knew what it was, and no one dared to approach it.

At this moment, people suddenly heard a young voice shouting angrily: "Stinky beast, get out of the way, don't step on the seedlings!" I saw Dongsheng's child stone egg standing in the field at the edge of the field, and the monster happened to run not far in front of him, he picked up a fist-sized stone and smashed it hard.

Shi Dan heard his father tell him what the monster he encountered in the mountains looked like, and he recognized it at this moment. It was this beast that suddenly rushed from the mountains and forests, causing his father to fall down the hill and fall seriously and almost lose his life. The children in the village have been taught or taught by adults since they were young, and they are not allowed to trample on the green seedlings when they play, and when he sees this monster running around in the fields like this, he hates it even more.

Children sometimes don't know that they are afraid, but at this moment they dare to throw a stone at a monster. The horse snorted, and when it flew close to it, the stone was crumpled far into the air, and it jumped a few times triumphantly, as if to show off its kung fu.

Stone Egg shouted again, "Stinky beast, you are still stepping on it!" and then slammed into a bigger stone. This kid is really a tiger, and his strength is not small.

The horse was nearly smashed, and the stone snapped a foot in front of it, and the splinters touched its body. The beast was furious, lowered its head and pointed forward with its sharp horns, turned and rushed towards the stone egg.

The stone egg was frightened now, and ran along the edge of the field, and the horse chased in the field, but he deliberately did not let go of his speed, and always ran several feet behind, letting out one terrible roar after another. The stone egg fell several times in succession, and then got up and ran again, and the horse always chased him in the field, and his knees and hands were broken.

At this time, the grandfather of the stone egg had rushed down the hillside, holding a long hoe with a crane's beak to block the edge of the field, and shouted, "Beast, go away...... Stone Egg, Run!" (To be continued......)
