Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.
Chapter 99 Catching the Horse
When the two came, they were just following the stream and the mushrooms. They didn't bring any tools except guns.
Carts and scythes were also thrown near the trap.
Mu Xi handed the gun to Zhao Yeqing,
"There is a rope on the cart. I'll get it. You stay here and watch first... Pay attention to your surroundings. There are often animals near the water source. Don't just look at the horses. You'll be fascinated by them."
Zhao Yeqing took the gun, looked at the horse without blinking, and waved his hand without looking back.
"go Go."
Mu Xi gritted his teeth, restrained his hand, did not hit some heartless people on the head, turned around and ran back.
The horse seemed to have become accustomed to the surrounding environment. After pacing for a while, it sat down on the ground after filling its stomach.
Zhao Yeqing sat on the top of the mountain and looked at the scene at the lake below.
The wild goose jumped up on the water, flew low over the lake for a short distance, then suddenly stopped, suddenly thrust its head into the water, and a small fish was picked up by its sharp beak and swallowed into its belly.
From the sky, a high-pitched and ethereal cry sounded, causing the animals by the lake to raise their heads.
Zhao Yeqing was afraid of being seen by the horse, so he hid behind the hillside before looking up.
A white-bellied mountain eagle hovered in the sky, staring at the geese below.
The wild geese took off in a hurry, flying from the lake to the grass in the distance, and the mountain eagle followed closely behind.
Flying far away, Zhao Yeqing couldn't see clearly.
Mountain eagles eat geese, and wild geese eat fish. This is also a food chain.
After more than 20 days of heavy rain, the surviving animals came out to look for food impatiently.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Mu Xi ran back with the rope.
When they got closer, they slowed down slightly and calmed down their breathing.
The two of them discussed how to catch the horse.
"Slowly approach, you walk from the front, don't get too close to it, I will look for an opportunity to grab its bridle from the side."
Zhao Yeqing nodded. She could keep her distance to attract attention, but she wouldn't dare to catch the horse.
A trained horse, as long as it is not manic, is rarely likely to bump into people, and even if it does, it can move aside.
Catching a horse is more dangerous. If you don't catch it, you can easily get kicked.
The two dogs approached the horse furtively, and when they were close, they separated.
Zhao Yeqing whispered, "Be careful."
He walked towards the horse slowly and leisurely.
The horse is a reddish-brown horse. Although it has not been brushed for a long time, the luster of its coat can still be seen.
Feeling someone approaching, the red-brown horse immediately stood up.
The muscles of the horse's chest, buttocks and legs were suddenly exposed, and the lines made her eyes light up.
Zhao Yeqing stopped and stood looking at it.
The red-brown horse's eyes were bright and alert.
Horses can understand human speech. Zhao Yeqing tried to communicate with it.
"Don't move. I won't hurt you. Do you want to go home with me?"
She pointed to the horse's hoof and said, "I can help you trim it."
Horse hooves are made of keratin tissue, which, like human fingernails, never stops growing.
The hooves of this brown horse had obviously not been trimmed for a while.
The horse's own weight is very heavy, and if the hooves are not trimmed in time, the stress on the tendons and ligaments will change, causing injury.
Domesticated horses are not like wild horses, and their survivability is not strong. If their legs are broken in the wild, they will almost die.
If it doesn't go back with Zhao Yeqing, it may not be able to survive alone.
Zhao Yeqing tried his best to appear harmless and discussed with it.
In fact, her heart was tense. If the horse rushed towards her, she would fly to the side.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Mu Xi had lowered his body and approached the horse. Zhao Yeqing felt a little nervous. What if the horse was frightened and kicked him directly.
She gestured to Mu Xi to stop.
The horse seemed to understand some of her words. He looked very smart, not like he couldn't communicate.
Zhao Yeqing stretched out his hand and gradually approached the horse, muttering, "Be good, I won't hurt you..."
The horse slowly backed away, the alertness in its eyes not completely gone, but it didn't charge forward either.
Zhao Yeqing thought it was funny, and Ma didn't show any manic or rebellious emotions.
Her hand slowly approached the horse's head. Instead of grabbing the leather rope of the halter directly, she touched its head first to calm down her emotions.
Horses are herbivores, but unlike sheep and cows, their stomachs are very small and they cannot chew cud. They cannot eat a lot of food at once and can only eat small meals every day.
This long rainy season is probably not easy for it. The previous owner must have been very good to it, otherwise it wouldn't be so unwary of humans.
Only then did Zhao Yeqing take it home so easily.
Mu Xi stepped forward and tied the rope to both sides of the halter, using it as a rein.
Zhao Yeqing touched the horse's back, raised his chin at Mu Xi with bright eyes,
"Bull or not!"
Mu Xi was so affected by her appearance that he couldn't help but curl up his lips and said, "Cow."
Fortunately, the owner of this horse did not put a bit on the horse before, otherwise it is hard to say whether it would have survived to this day.
A horse bit is a small metal stick that is held horizontally in the mouth to suppress the tongue and prevent the horse from eating grass.
There was no saddle or stirrups on the horse, so she didn't dare to ride on it, so she planned to take the reins back first.
After successfully taming the horse, she remembered to take a look at the lake.
The plants on the grassy beach near the lake are somewhat different from those on the meadow.
There are many more moisture-loving plants growing near the lake.
Such as calamus.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a sickle this time, otherwise I would have cut one back and hung it on the door to ward off evil spirits.
Anxious to take the horse home, Zhao Yeqing planned to take a closer look at the lake when he could find time to pick mushrooms tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Maybe because Zhao Yeqing was the one communicating with the red and brown horse, he was a little hostile to Mu Xi who appeared behind him.
Every time Mu Xi tried to take the reins and lead him, the red-brown horse would turn its head away.
This amused Zhao Yeqing. For the first time, an animal in the house didn't like Mu Xi.
He won her heart.
Zhao Yeqing looked down again and let out a satisfied 'tsk'.
It's a girl, no wonder she's so cute.
"Let me think about it... you will be called Xiaohong from now on!"
Little yellow, little flower, little black and little red.
Very suitable.
It sounds like a family.
As for the glutinous rice cakes and snow cakes, they are brought back from the mountains. Nature and grassland are not the same system.
Zhao Yeqing led the horse home, shouting 'Xiaohong, Xiaohong, Xiaohong...' all the way.
By the time we got home, Xiaohong had completely memorized her name.
Zhao Yeqing was frozen in place.
This horse has come back, but he still doesn’t have a place to live.
Mu Xi dragged the cart and returned home. He carried the grass on it to the hay house. After entering the tool room, he pulled up the cart and headed out again.
Before Zhao Yeqing could speak to him, he had already rushed to answer.
"I'll go chop down the trees and come back to build the stables, ancestor."
