When the horse runs, it can't stop, Xiao Chenglin's family is considered middle-class, and he can ride horses, but he only accompanies adults to ride in the city and around the city, and his riding skills are half-hanging, and he has never galloped on a horse.

The dark cloud cover snow is a royal horse, just like a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, like Xiao Chenglin, it is difficult to come out of a trip, run out of sex, scatter the wild, Xiao Chenglin can't stop the horse several times, the bumps are terrible, almost fell off the horse, as a last resort, lying on the horse's back, holding the horse's neck tightly with both hands, where to go, only God knows.

It wasn't until a big river stopped in front of him that it stopped.

The muddy yellow river is like a giant dragon, roaring and rolling down, looking up and down, there is no half of the sail shadow, the front and back ends, the water and the sky are connected, and the momentum is magnificent.

This is the Yellow River?

Cheng Lin is not a poet, he didn't feel much, he was shocked by the majestic Yellow River, and he was thinking about what to do.

The Yellow River is not far from Bianliang, but Cheng Lin really hasn't been here, he frowned and rolled off his horse, how could he come here?

You can't see the tall Bianliang city wall on the bank of the river, and I don't know how far the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River are, which section is this?

The dark clouds covered the snow with constant sweat, and its black and shiny skin was as shiny as satin, and it ran so comfortably, sweating thoroughly, and snorted proudly at the unfamiliar little master, and stepped to the river to drink water.

The water is muddy and yellow, you can see the ups and downs of the sediment, Xiao Chenglin didn't dare to ask the dark clouds to cover the snow to drink this water, before going out, the horse breeder told him that the dark clouds cover the snow is very precious, and it is easy to run away if you don't pay attention to it.

He tied the dark clouds to a tree, dug a big pit by the river, dug a small ditch, brought in the water, and then blocked the ditch with mud to let the water clear slowly.

It's a pity that there is no brush, and I can't brush the sweat of the dark cloud cover snow.

While waiting, a large group of people and horses walked along the road upstream of the Yellow River.

There were hundreds of people in this group, in the middle were more than a dozen oxen, mules and donkey carts, many people were talking and walking on both sides, more than ten knights guarded, and behind the vehicles, there were more than a dozen people carrying burdens, most of them were shirtless, and the shoulders were padded with cloth pads, and their bodies were gray-headed, and they looked like a caravan, and they had walked many long roads.

The first two horses are the most divine horses, and the horses are the Qingtang horses on the Western Xia side, with big physique and stamina and strong sprints, although they are worse than the dark clouds and snow, they are much stronger than ordinary war horses.

Immediately, a man with a face like a silver plate, fair skin, strong physique, moderate height, wearing a round neck and sleeves, a wide leather belt tied around his waist, about twenty years old, very energetic, walking in the middle of the road;

The other person was wearing a dark blue robe, with a cloud crown on his head, slightly smaller, his face was slightly red, but his eyes were blazing, shining with wisdom, and three thin strands of long beard floated on his chest.

The man in the middle saw the dark clouds covering the snow from a distance, and couldn't help but admire: "What a handsome horse!"

The man next to him smiled: "The young master likes it, let's take it." It's just such a good horse, how can the owner of the horse be a little Taoist, and it's strange. ”

The young master smiled: "Shopkeeper Zhu, more things are better than less things, don't come nonsense, give more money to buy it." "It's easy to say, I didn't consider whether the other party agreed to sell it.

Shopkeeper Zhu looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Young master, rest assured, we are more than 100 grown men, and we can still bully a little teenager." ”

After saying that, he stepped forward, and the closer he got closer, the more frightened he became, and the word "Yu" imprinted on the horse's hip seemed to indicate that this person was not ordinary.

Cheng Lin watched the horse drink water, gently stroked the horse's belly, and sweated a hand, but he was not tired of it, and suddenly heard a voice: "Little Zhenren, your horse has run too much!"

Cheng Lin looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man in the same Taoist outfit, so he was puzzled: "I've seen Brother Dao, I don't know what it means for the horse to run too much." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu turned over and dismounted, walked to the other side of the horse, and stretched out his hand to point at the horse: "You horse, it seems that you haven't come out for a walk for too long, and suddenly you run too much and too hard, and the horse is easy to get dehydrated and die." Just now I was far away when I saw you stopping here to rest, and you all walked to the front, and the sweat was not finished yet!"

Shopkeeper Zhu shook his head as he spoke: "There is also a problem with this water, the water of the Yellow River cannot be drunk directly, but it is a pity that a good horse, if it continues to be raised like this, it will be scrapped sooner or later." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu is right, the sweat glands of horses are developed, once excessive exercise, sweat drenched, it is easy to lead to the failure of various organs.

Generally, horses are not used for long-distance running, because horses are arrogant and expensive, and it is easy to finish the calf if they are not careful.

Shopkeeper Zhu's words were terrifying, Xiao Chenglin was very worried, Wuyun Gaixue still hated himself affectionately just now, but there was nothing to do, not to mention that this was a royal horse, and he had to return to the clouds.

He was a little anxious and asked the shopkeeper Zhu: "Brother Dao, how should I get this?"

Shopkeeper Zhu said: "Little Zhenren, don't let it drink this water first, I'll help you deal with it!"

Then he shouted to the man from behind: "Mix some salt water, get some beans, and get a brush, and brush the horse for this little real man." ”

A few men ran over, some of them held water bags and shook them vigorously, poured them into a basin of water, put them in front of Wuyun Gaixue, and let him drink water, some took wooden buckets to draw water from the Yellow River and put them next to the river to clarify, and some people opened the bean bags and fed Wuyun Gaixue food.

Then he took off the saddle on the back of the dark cloud cover snow, drew water with a brush, and cleaned it, the dark cloud covered snow is a royal horse, is used to being taken care of, and does not recognize life very much, these people are busy for it, it takes it for granted, stands firm, enjoys it very much.

Several people were busy, Xiao Chenglin was inexplicably moved, Pingshui met, so enthusiastic, it is really the world's own straight feelings.

Retreated to the side, expressed his gratitude to the shopkeeper Zhu, and saw the young master who came over, the shopkeeper Zhu introduced: "This is the young master of my family, Shi Jinshi, a senior official, my surname is Zhu, and my common name is Zhu Wu, I don't know what to call the little real person?"

Seeing that they were so enthusiastic and took good care of the dark clouds and snow, Xiao Chenglin was very grateful, and naturally he was also very polite, and the two sides talked very happily.

Shi Jin is like a confidant brother, with a warm smile like a spring breeze, telling Cheng Lin some precautions for traveling; Zhu Wu is an old man in the rivers and lakes, telling him a lot of knowledge about how to raise horses, and some ghost domain tricks on the rivers and lakes, reminding him that when he goes out, he should be more attentive and protect himself.

At this time, Xiao Chenglin knew that the place where he was now was about two hundred miles away from Bianliang, at the boundary of Yanzhou, and half the distance from Qingzhou, and the horse was indeed fast enough.

Good people, all good people!

Xiao Chenglin remembered that the master said that when he met people, he only said three points, and he couldn't throw away all his hearts, so his own origin, he only talked about the situation of his own layman, and did not say that he was the apprentice of Heavenly Master Guo Jing, nor did he talk about the task of Qingzhou, so as not to make the other party feel that he was too high born here and it was difficult to make friends.

Knowing that this group of people were merchants going to Jingdong Road, Xiao Chenglin was very happy, if it weren't for his group of followers, Xiao Chenglin really wanted to go with them.

Not long after, when the horses had rested enough, everyone brushed and cleaned up the dark clouds and snow, wiped off the sweat, and said goodbye to the group.

It's a pity that he couldn't walk two or three miles, and the dark clouds covered the snow and foamed at the mouth, irritable and restless, Xiao Chenglin was very depressed, standing in the middle of the road, waiting for Shi Jin and the others to arrive, begging everyone to help him take a look.

Shopkeeper Zhu looked pity: "Alas, your horse, you have been kept in the stable for too long, and you haven't moved much, and today you ran too hard, and you couldn't help it dissipate heat and clean it in time, replenish food, and it is estimated that it was affected by the wind, just like a human cold, and it didn't take ten days and a half months, and you couldn't walk a long way." ”

Xiao Chenglin was in a hurry to find his entourage, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Shopkeeper Zhu was kind and jumped off his Qingtang horse: "Little brother, if you are in a hurry, ride my horse, everyone will meet each other, talk about speculation, and pay me back in the future." ”

"Thank you, big brother, but my horse?"

"I have a lot of people, I will let a few subordinates go to the city and find a doctor, it is not a big problem, it should be cured, the little brother will leave a contact address, and I will send this horse to you when I go back!"

Xiao Chenglin pondered it again and again, and after thanking Shi Jin and the shopkeeper Zhu, he rode the Qingtang horse and looked for a way to Qingzhou.
