Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 191
Chen Qizheng was tanning the feathers of the snow goose basking in the sun. Hearing that, his eyes lit up. He wanted to get a mount early in the morning. Before, because he didn’t come across an animal suitable for a mount, now all the animals on the plains are all over the place. The migration is back, if you have tamed the wild horses, then you don’t need to have to travel so hard every time when you go out.
“Where did you meet?”
“Not far from the habitat of the snow goose, just walk along the upper reaches of the Chishui River for a while.” Ake pulled out his own share of the beggar snow goose, and knocked on the outside layer that had been burnt black. soil, replied.
In order to facilitate the handling of the prey, the camp for several people was chosen near the Chishui River. Chen Qi nodded clearly when he heard the words, and planned to wait for Ake to finish the lunch before leaving.
Chen Qi took out a pottery cup from his backpack, then took out a few dried flowers from a small cloth bag and put them in the cup, poured half a cup of boiled water into it, and waited for the flower tea to be brewed. Later, he walked to Aze’s side, “Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?”
A Ze took the tea, shook his head, pulled Chen Qi to sit beside him, gathered the few leaves he picked up just now, and gently fanned Chen Qi to dissipate the heat. Since he fell asleep for a few days, Chen Qi has always worried that he will be tired. Now Chen Qi will take over many things by himself, and he will not let himself do it at all. Although he is very happy to be carefully taken care of by Chen Qi, he is after all. It’s a female, he should be the one to take care of his partner.
Chen Qi took the leaf used as a fan from the opponent’s hand, and leaned against the opponent while shaking it. As soon as the thunderstorm stopped, the temperature began to rise continuously. After a lunch, Chen Qi’s clothes were already soaked with sweat. Aze’s body temperature was cold, just like a large mobile air conditioner. As long as Chen Qi was close to the other party, he felt that the heat around him was dissipated a lot.
“I don’t know if your body temperature has anything to do with the drowsiness last time. Last year, your body temperature was not that low.” Chen Qi leaned his head comfortably, and couldn’t help but muttered worriedly.
“Don’t worry, I know my own body best, and if there is something uncomfortable, I will be the first to tell you.” Aze wiped the sweat from the other’s forehead, smiled and reassured.
Chen Qi didn’t talk about this topic anymore, although he was still a little worried, but if he talked too much, he was afraid that A Ze would think more, “You should drink tea while it’s hot, your body is too cold, drinking a little of this tea should make you feel better. Better.” A few slices of wild ginseng were added to the tea, which has the effect of invigorating qi and blood. Although I don’t know how big the effect is, it’s still good to drink a little.
It was the first time that Ah Jing and the little wolf cub could stay in the wild for so long. After they were full, they plunged into the surrounding grass to rummage for something they could use. After all, they were in the wild, and Ah Shu was worried about these two The safety of this little guy has been following behind them to help guard.
After Ake finished his lunch, the group rested for a while, before starting to look for the herd of wild horses when the sun was less violent.
There were no large carnivores in this area, and the herbivores they encountered were relatively leisurely. When a few people found them, the group of wild horses were resting under the shade of an acacia tree.
There are not many wild horses in this group. There are only about ten horses. Among them, there are four or five foals that are immature. The coat color is snow-white all over, which is very conspicuous among the wild horses.
As soon as Aze saw the foal, he liked it very much. Since Chen Qi wanted to raise a wild horse, it was just right to catch such a beautiful foal.
Unloading the animal skin backpack on his body and handing it to Chen Qi, A Ze whispered: “You stand here and watch things, and I’ll go get the wild horse back.”
“You have to be careful.” Chen Qi actually wanted to try to catch wild horses. Those tall and strong adult wild horses may be a little dangerous to catch, but with his current strength, if he only catches those underage foals Should still be possible. It’s just that this thought can only be turned around in his mind, and it is impossible for Azer to let himself take risks.
Ake also handed over the luggage he was carrying to Ashu, and told him to protect Chen Qi and Ajing. The size and fighting power of the wild horses are not comparable to Xueyan’s. Naturally, he can’t let a male and an underage female on the side.
Ashu pouted, in fact, he also wanted to try to catch wild horses, but he also knew that his strength was not comparable to Aze and Ake, so he could only take Ajing and Chen Qi to climb an acacia tree not far away up, and watched as the two orcs slowly approached the wild horses.
The little wolf cub was also backed by A Jing to the branch, where they were able to see the following situation clearly.
Aze held a noose in his hand. When he was resting just now, he heard Chen Qi explain in detail how to catch wild horses. Now he and Ake exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then headed towards the target he chose.
The foal selected by Azer stood at the outermost edge of the horse group. I don’t know if it was because the coat color was too different from other wild horses. Trends outside the herd. But this is convenient for Azer.
The noose in his hand hangs on his waist, and Aze’s pace is very slow. The horses did not show much response to the approach of the orcs, but some wild horses who had bowed their heads and gnawed on the weeds raised their heads, with a trace in their eyes. Be alert, quietly watching the approach of the orcs.
The foal tried to approach the adult female wild horse next to him for shelter, but the female wild horse only arched the other’s body with her head, and after driving the foal a distance away, she took another mottled coat with her. The foal went the other direction. The white-haired foal spun around in place a little bewildered, looking at Aze with big, round eyes, two air bursts from his nostrils, and his front hooves digging the soil under his feet a little uneasily.
A Ze raised his hand without holding the lasso and slowly approached, originally intending to appease the pony’s emotions, but the pony suddenly threw its hooves and ran wildly.
Azer’s reaction was quick, and almost the moment the foal moved, the noose in his hand was thrown out, just hitting the foal’s neck. As soon as the foal ran forward, it was restrained by the noose. Azer was led by the foal and took a few steps forward. He quickly stabilized his body shape. He was very strong. , was pulled by A Ze and fell unsteadily to the ground.
At this time, the horses also reacted, and they ran quickly when they saw this situation. They don’t have the group consciousness like elephants. As long as they are not caught, they will not care about the life and death of other companions.
However, when they passed a tall grass, a lasso flew out of the grass and was caught in the neck of an adult female wild horse. The other wild horses were startled and scattered, until they were far away. The tall grass only reunited, and the wild horses were fast. When Ake was dragged out of the tall grass by the female wild horse, the group of wild horses had already run a certain distance.
“It’s a pity, I only caught two.” Ah Shu looked at the wild horses that were about to run out of sight and said regretfully. He touched the rope hanging around his waist and felt a little anxious to rush down.
“It’s not a catch.” Chen Qi looked at A Ze’s direction with a little worry. Although the other party chose a pony, there would not be too much danger, but Chen Qi watched A Ze pounce towards him. When the foal was still beating, his heart beat a little faster. He reached out and pressed the position of his heart, frowning tightly.
After Aze fell the foal to the ground, he stepped forward and tied the opponent’s struggling limbs with ropes. He had planned to catch another one, but when he looked back, he found that the wild horses had already disappeared. , glanced in the direction of Ake, and after seeing that the other party was at ease and did not need his own help, he directly carried the sturdy little pony on his shoulders and returned to the acacia tree where the others were.
The strength of the female wild horse is much stronger than that of the foal, but the lasso is also very strong. As soon as the female wild horse struggles, the rope is deeply strangled into the neck, and a clear mark is strangled on the burgundy fur. The female wild horse is in pain. He had to keep neighing, his hooves swayed, and he rammed around.
Ake wrapped the end of the rope around his arm a few times so as not to be freed by the female wild horse, then pulled the rope and took a few steps forward, taking care of the female wild horse’s hooves while pulling each other around.
The noose was already very tight because it was pulled, and the female mustang had difficulty breathing, and wasted a lot of strength because of the constant struggle. After confronting Ake for a while, it slowly calmed down.
Ake didn’t dare to be careless. He also caught wild horses when he was hunting prey before, but at that time he hunted them directly. Now it feels quite troublesome to catch live wild horses. He waited patiently for the wild horses to calm down. Only slowly leaned up.
The female mustang has been strangled to the point of foaming at the mouth, and her footsteps have staggered a few times.
Reaching out and touching the female wild horse’s face soothingly, Ake loosened the noose on the other’s neck. After the female wild horse recovered a little breath, he pulled the female wild horse and walked under the acacia tree.
Chen Qi saw that A Ze came back carrying the pony, and he had already climbed down the acacia tree by himself. Regardless of the pony, he took A Ze to look up and down first. Take off each other’s clothes and check. “Are you injured?”
“I’m fine and I’m not injured.” A Ze threw the pony to the ground and let Chen Qi look at it.
Ake, who was dragging the female wild horse back, couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he saw this scene. Why didn’t he think that Chen Qi was so tired before, with Aze’s strength, let alone a small colt, even if it was a capture A full-grown wild horse doesn’t have to be injured.
With the female wild horse by his side, the foal didn’t struggle to escape as much as it had at first. Aze untied the ropes from the foal’s four hooves, and the foal climbed up from the ground in a hurry, far away. He wanted to stay away from those orcs in the distance, but because the rope around his neck was limited by the distance, he could only stand in a place not far or near and anxiously walk.
The female wild horse looked a little sullen after being caught. The injuries from the strangulation on her neck were obvious, and there were even faint bloodstains oozing out. You can imagine how hard she struggled when it was captured.
