Chapter 1138 – Wild Horse Herd (IV)
“Painful, haha, really painful, I want to live in the grassland.”
Zhuang Rui was able to gallop his horse for more than an hour before he slowed down and waited for the arrival of Bartel’s several people, this feeling of smoothness completely swept away the depression that had built up from his unsuccessful search for the ancient tomb on this trip.
“I say Brother Zhuang, there’s no such thing as you! You ran out forty to fifty miles in an hour, you don’t know to sympathize with the horse’s stamina!”
The first to arrive was Bartel, but when he came in front of Zhuang Rui, his Red Blood was already panting heavily, Bartel complained about Zhuang Rui for a couple of sentences, then he hurriedly got off the horse, letting the Red Blood lighten the load a little bit.
Although the red blood contains some sweat blood horse blood, but not pure, so more than an hour running down, almost reached the limit.
To know, an hour to run out forty or fifty miles, compared to those legends of thousands of miles a day traveling thousands of miles a thousand miles of horse is not comparable, of course, the endurance that is not comparable.
Bartel patted Red Blood’s neck compassionately, signaling it to go and relax, and when he turned his face to look at Zhuang Rui who was still on his horse, he couldn’t help but pull down his face and said, “Brother Zhuang, I can understand that you haven’t ridden a horse and want to run faster, but now that you’ve stopped, you also need to let Little White relax a bit! Huh?”
Grassland people can’t see others who don’t love horses, but Bartel stopped his mouth halfway through his words, before the hard ones could be said.
Because Bartel found that the little white under Zhuang Rui’s crotch, in addition to sweating, there is no performance of any spirit that is not shocked, still holding his head high, his front hooves are uneasily plowing on the grass, even more energetic than Red Blood.
Of course the white horse had aura, just as Zhuang Rui stretched out his right hand, the aura in his eyes had already been fed into the white horse’s body in a steady stream.
Even while running, Zhuang Rui didn’t stop using his aura, which gave the white horse a feeling of energy that seemed to penetrate its body, which was why it was still so energized after running wildly for more than a child.
“This …… this …… what’s going on?”
Bartel was shocked, he grew up so big, he really hadn’t seen that horse after running wildly with extreme speed for an hour, but still so energetic, of course, except those wild horses.
“Ah …… oh, I came to have a while, just now already let Xiao Bai rest.”
Zhuang Rui secretly spat out his tongue, obediently rolled down from the small white back, he completely forgot to let the small white show some fatigue out, this is not …… a glance by Bartel to see the end.
“You came over seven or eight minutes earlier than me at most, right? How can you recover so quickly?”
Bartel frowned, walked to the side of the small white, reached out and grabbed the reins, broke its teeth and looked at it, but the wrinkles on his face were even more.
“That’s not eating either! Could it be that centaur-horse unification can make a horse consume less?”
Bartel could be called a horse nut, when he had just gotten Red Blood the year before, he had once slept with Red Blood in the stable for four or five months, and now that he had seen something he couldn’t comprehend, he immediately became obsessed with it.
“Right, Zhuang Rui, how did you make Little White so obedient?” After holding his head and pondering for a while without success, Bartel only thought to ask Zhuang Rui.
“I don’t know ah! Big brother Bartel, I’ve been especially attached to animals since I was a child, my family raised an African gorilla, a Snowy Mountain Golden Eagle, and several Tibetan Mastiffs, they all listen to me very well.”
Zhuang Rui face showed a very innocent expression, this aura secret can never be said, can only make up some blind words to fool this simple Mongolian big brother.
Little White seemed to be verifying Zhuang Rui’s words, walking over to Zhuang Rui’s side, rubbing Zhuang Rui’s face intimately with his big head, sticking out his tongue from time to time to help Zhuang Rui wash down his face.
“Don’t, don’t, Little White, go play by yourself.”
Zhuang Rui cried and laughed as he twisted the horse’s head to the side, how this animal expresses intimacy all in one action ah! He hadn’t been so affectionate by the white lion before.
“Brother Zhuang, you must be a kind-hearted person, that’s how you’ll be favored by the animals and receive the blessings of the Everlasting Heaven.”
After seeing this sight, Bartel dug his heart out and finally found an answer that he didn’t know if it was reasonable or not, but when this everything is related to religion, it’s always unclear.
“Bad Zhuangrui brother, why are you running so fast!”
Just as Zhuang Rui and Bartel were “exchanging” horsemanship, of course, just Bartel said that Zhuang Rui was listening, the people behind him also arrived one after another, and the second one to arrive was Uyun Qiqiqi.
“Xiao Bai, my Xiao Bai.”
Uyunqiqig with a sobbing voice climbed down from the horse to run to Xiaobai, in her thought, so wildly running for an hour, the horse should not be run away?
“Hm? It’s okay! Brother Zhuang Rui, what’s going on? Big brother’s Red Blood is exhausted, how come Little White is fine?” After hugging Little White’s neck, Wuyun Qiqig also discovered the problem.
“Kikiqig, it’s like this.”
Zhuang Rui had no choice but to recount the words that had just fooled Bartel to the little girl again, this time simply quoting the words directly from the Everlasting Sky or something like that, listening to the little girl nodding her head, and then when she looked at Zhuang Rui’s gaze, it was full of admiration.
“Uh, buddy won’t be taken as a godly man, right?”
Zhuang Rui was somewhat embarrassed by the little girl’s look, just at this time, Timur also rushed here, and quickly stood up to welcome him.
“Peng Fei, how is the mare? It’s a good match for you!”
After about five or six minutes, Peng Fei rode the yellow bit to arrive, this dude rode on the horse with a breathless look, watching Zhuang Rui laugh.
“Brother ah! You just give me some face!”
Peng Fei bashfully rolled off the horse and grabbed Bartel, saying, “Old Ba, you lost two horses to us a while ago! Give the best one to Brother Zhuang, and I’ll pick the other one first.”
Peng Fei had been tortured by the yellow bit, but he had no temper at all, because he was afraid that the little girl would get angry, and he didn’t dare to fight, and his voice was muffled when he yelled, but the yellow bit was still at the same speed, and he almost spat out Peng Fei’s blood.
Bartel really did not see Peng Fei has been soft, then laughed and said: “OK, when you catch the group of wild horses, you can pick one.”
Zhuang Rui heard Bartels words, could not help but froze for a moment, set Peng Fei to one side and asked: “Bartels big brother, we just a few people, to catch a few wild horses ah? On that horse cover you brought, can’t you only catch one?”
“One is enough.”
Bartel said with a smile, “As long as you catch that head horse, the other ones wild horses, you just can’t drive them away, when the time comes to circle to the horse farm to raise for a year or two, and then and the horse farm’s horse has been mated with the breed, even if it’s a captive horse.”
“Old Ba, Horse King can be hard to catch, if I don’t catch it this time, I’ll go back to your ranch and pick it.” Peng Fei hit Bartel very facelessly.
Bartel was not angry, nodded and said, “It’s really not good to catch, that horse king is not like a Mongolian horse, the body is taller than the red blood, it’s like an authentic Dawan sweatblood horse, I didn’t look at it from a close distance, I can’t really say.”
Last time Bartel rode the red blood to chase that head horse, all were thrown off the last even the shadow of the horse can not be seen, and that time he was only one person around, dry food carry not much, have no choice but to return to the gathering place first.
Do not give this time Bartel back to track the wild horse herd, still have a certain grasp of the head of the horse.
To know, although the horse can sleep standing up or lying down, but in the early morning of every day before dawn two hours, usually is the horse sleeps the most, Bartel is ready in this time period, sneak attack that wild horse herd.
“Alright, let’s all rest for two hours, let’s eat something, this is not far from the mountain pass, the last time the wild horse herd ran away from there, there must still be traces left.”
Bartel didn’t know how far that wild horse would run out these days, so it was still important to keep his team’s stamina, maybe he would have to chase them on the grassland for a few more days, don’t wait to catch up with the wild horse herd, and his own people would all be paralyzed with fatigue.
In the evening, Zhuang Rui and others rushed to the depression, just as Bartel said, there are traces of the remnants of the herd, Bartel like a hound around the depression a circle of several hundred meters around, with Zhuang Rui and his entourage chased down.
Fortunately, it did not rain on the grassland in the past few days, the grass that was gnawed by the wild horses and the hoofprints, leaving a lot of clues, to the afternoon of the next day, Bartel found the trail of the wild horse herd.
Bartel grabbed a streak of horse manure from the ground, and after rubbing his fingers together a few times, he said, “The horse manure is still hot, they just passed by not long ago.”
“Got it, just tell me how to do it.”
Zhuang Rui got goosebumps from Bartel’s action, although he knew that grassland people often used cow dung and horse dung for firewood, but those were dry! This soggy mess almost made Zhuang Rui vomit when he looked at it.
“Set up camp, rest, we can’t chase after them anymore now, or we’ll have to spook the snakes, when they all go to sleep at night, we’ll touch over then.”
Bartel knows that the horse’s sense of hearing and smell is very developed, especially those wild horses, once they feel that something is wrong, the inside will shift the place, then it will be difficult to chase again.
Zhuang Rui looked at the sky, it was already sunset, nodded and said: “Okay! But be sure to bring me when you go at night.”
Fear of smoke and fire disturbed the wild horse herd in front of them, the people did not make a fire, ate some air-dried beef and mutton and drank some water, even if it is to make a meal.
After eating, according to Bartel’s words, to have a good rest, the people set up their own tents and slept in.
The vast prairie was silent, the moonlight sprinkled on the grass that rippled with the breeze, as if covering the prairie with a layer of haze, it was beautiful.
“Oo …… ow ……” a miserable wolf howling sound, suddenly broke the silence of the grassland.
