The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 167
The winter in Beizhou is very long, but time passes unconsciously. As if in the blink of an eye, the thick snow in the courtyard has melted, and the withered branches have re-emerged with buds.
The spring is bright and beautiful, and the spring breeze blowing on the face still brings the spring cold. People who have been holding back for a winter can no longer bear it. They put on their heavy winter clothes and stepped out of the house with brisk steps.
Wen Fei has been very busy these few days. She is still training soldiers and dare not slack in the slightest. As for military training, there are winter training methods in winter, and spring training methods in spring. So after the beginning of spring, she has been busy in the military for several days, all for this.
Fortunately, after a winter, Chu Xi had already been familiar with life in Beizhou. Without her company, it would not hinder much. On the contrary, taking advantage of Wen Fei’s busy time, she cleaned up the general mansion.
When Wen Fei returned to the house that day, he was seeing Chu Xi commanding his servants to move a big jar into the courtyard. The tank is filled with water, lotus flowers are planted, and fish are raised. It looks very elegant. The only worry is whether the things in this tank can survive the winter?
Wen Fei glanced into the water tank, or swallowed the words back, only a few steps forward and asked: “This is the beginning of spring, where are the lotus flowers and fish?”
After hearing the words, Chu Xi replied: “I just met on the street today when I went out, so I bought some back, and I don’t know if I can support it.” After speaking, he remembered what was normal, turned to look at Wen Fei, and asked her: ” Why did you come back so early today? It’s not yet Shen Shi.”
These days Wen Fei always leaves early and returns late, and today is no exception, she disappeared before dawn. Chu Xi thought that she would have to wait until dark to wait until she came back, but before it was time for dinner, she actually came back early.
Speaking of Wen Fei’s spirit, he stopped looking at the fish in the tank, and asked Chu Xi enthusiastically, “A Chu, do you like horses?”
Chu Xi didn’t expect her to ask this suddenly, blinked, and looked at her puzzled.
Wen Fei asked again: “Do you want a pony?”
When Chu Xi heard it, her eyes couldn’t help but brighten—small animals are always cute, girls especially like these, and Chu Xi is no exception. What’s more, Beizhou is a border city, close to the grassland, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and horses are almost irreplaceable means of transportation. It’s all about activities in the city, but when you go out, you must ride horses. So having a pony that belongs to you alone is also a very meaningful thing in North State.
Thinking of this, Chu Xi nodded hurriedly and said, “I want to raise it myself. But where is the foal now? I haven’t heard of which horse in the palace is pregnant with a pony?”
There are many horses in the General’s Mansion, and they are all good horses. Some are horses bestowed by your majesty, some are good horses from your uncle, and some are BMWs that Wen Fei bought at a high price. It is no exaggeration to say that one of these horses a day is enough for her for half a month, and it is enough to take them out for war to replace them, and they don’t feel distressed if they are assigned to their daughter-in-law for riding.
It’s just that the horses are expensive, and the birth of the mares will reduce the mare’s physical strength, so Wen Fei never bred her own horses. At this time, the horses in her stable are innocent and there is no foal at all.
She was referring to something else: “No, the horses in the mansion are all fine, but a caravan came to the west recently. I heard that there are ponies with good pedigrees, so I want to ask if you want it.” He paused, and said: “But I heard that BMWs of Western descent are exceptionally tall. If you don’t like it, the wild horses on the grassland should be active after the beginning of the spring. I will take you to get a few horses back.”
After listening to her solemnly speaking, Chu Xi really didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh. She rolled her eyes and said, “Okay, I haven’t seen a horse-riding guy yet, I can see it.”
Wen Fei didn’t doubt that he was there, and happily agreed: “Okay, I will make people pay attention to the movement of the wild horses, and when the traces are found, I will take you with you.”
Seeing that she promised without hesitation, Chu Xi hesitated herself instead, and paused and asked: “Well, is the Mustang good? Is it dangerous?”
It is said that animals have the instinct to protect their cubs, and it is even more difficult to move the foals in the wild horse herd.
Wen Fei waved his hand, looking indifferently: “It’s okay, there are veterans in our army.” After that, he explained: “Most of my troops are cavalry, but the horses provided by the court are always not enough. They I set horses by myself. When the harvest is good, I can not only use the horses myself, but also sell them for money, but I make a lot of money.”
When Chu Xi heard that she was not alone in her hands, she was relieved a lot, and talked about what kind of pony she likes with great interest.
************************************************** ********
You need to wait for the caravan to buy a horse, and you need to wait for the wild horse group even more. It wasn’t until Chu Xi almost forgot about it that the news of the wild horses finally came back.
Wen Fei went to the barracks again early in the morning, but before midday she returned from horseback. As soon as she entered the door and saw Chu Xi, she pulled her out and said, “Walk, the wild horses have found it, let’s go now. .”
There is no shortage of scouts in the army. Even if Beiman is now maimed, the soldiers garrisoned at the border still dare not slacken the slightest—the Beiman was beaten by Wen Fei in the past two years. Did you gather the people to go south? Since then, Wen Fei has been deeply aware of the principle that the Centipede is dead but not stiff, and now the troops stationed in Beizhou are also very vigilant.
The scouts are sent out every day, looking for the wild horses is actually a way to go, and only today has the news.
Chu Xi was caught off guard by her, still staggering under her feet. Hearing that, her eyes were slightly bright, and she followed her staggered footsteps: “Where? Is it far?”
Wen Fei didn’t stop at his feet, and took the person out of the door directly: “You come with me.”
While they were talking, the two of them went out, Wen Fei turned over and jumped onto the horseback, and then stretched out his hand to pull Chu Xi up. She wrapped her hands around Chu Xi’s waist, grabbed the reins and pinched the horse’s belly, and the horse ran away immediately.
Chu Xi was accustomed to riding with her, and found a comfortable position right now, and immediately nestled in Wen Fei’s arms.
The spring breeze rushing towards you is still cool, but the embrace of the people behind is as soft and warm as you remember. Even if you don’t think about the horses, just going out for a run like this is refreshing in your heart.
Horse riding is not forbidden in Beizhou City, and the two quickly rode out of the city. Then he galloped all the way, crossed mountains and rivers, and finally came under a high mountain after running for about half an hour.
It was a rare mountain on the grassland, and now the snow and ice melted all around, but the mountain top was still a snow-white scenery from a distance. The wild horses are right at the bottom of the mountain, gnawing the young grass that has just sprouted at the foot of the mountain, drinking the stream formed by the melting of the snow in the mountain, shaking their heads and tails, looking so leisurely.
Naturally, the two did not directly appear in front of the wild horses. Wen Fei skillfully found a gentle slope. As soon as he took Chu Xi over, several heads appeared after the gentle slope: “General, are you here?”
Chu Xi took a look and found that they were not familiar faces, not the guards around Wen Fei.
When Wen Fei saw it, he explained a few words to Chu Xi in a low voice, saying that these are all good horses. Then he jumped off his horse and did not gossip, and asked the few people: “How is it? Are you sure?”
These people have been observing the horses for a period of time, not just today. The scouts brought back clues and they took heart. They have been tracking and observing for several days. At the moment, they patted their chests and promised: “General, rest assured, no problem. Yes, it’s on my brothers.”
Wen Fei had nothing to worry about after hearing this, so he pointed to the wild horses in the distance and turned to ask Chu Xi: “A Chu, which horse do you want?”
Wild horses must also migrate in winter, otherwise they will not find food and will only starve to death. But migration itself is a process of elimination, but everyone who is not strong enough has been eliminated on the road of migration. The same goes for the horses. The ones that can still appear in front of them today are the winners after the survival of the fittest, so it doesn’t matter which horse you choose.
In this case, Chu Xi is her daughter’s home, so naturally she has to choose a beautiful one for her little pony.
After watching, Chu Xi caught a white pony in the herd. In other words, the white horse is not always true. The spring sun shines on the white horse, reflecting its fur into a light golden color, which looks very beautiful from a distance.
Such a horse is not very suitable as a war horse, because it is too dazzling. The battlefield will attract the attention of the enemy, and the fur during the night attack has nowhere to hide in the dark. Unless it is good enough to make people ignore these “deficiencies”, this horse is only suitable for swaggering through the market, not being taken. On the battlefield.
But Chu Xi likes it. As her mount, it’s okay, and she won’t be on the battlefield either.
Chu Xi pointed at the light golden pony far away, with bright eyes, and asked Wen Fei with some expectation: “Affi, look, how about that pony?”
Wen Fei followed what she was pointing at and saw the dazzling horse at a glance. She squinted her eyes and observed it carefully. After taking a closer look at the horse’s posture, she nodded in praise and said, “It’s very beautiful, and it’s also a good horse.”
With her approval, Chu Xi identified the horse. Wen Fei discussed a few words with others, then turned around and exhorted: “A Chu, you are waiting here, I will bring you back the horse in a while.”
After saying this, Wen Fei led the people down the gentle **** and sneaked towards the wild horses.
Chu Xi looked at it from a distance. She thought that the horse riding was to be done by those familiar hands, so she didn’t worry too much. Unexpectedly, it was Wen Fei who caught the sight of a few people nearby.
She didn’t go for the light golden pony, on the contrary, she leaped up and chose the strongest horse in the herd. Suddenly she took a challenge and jumped onto the horse’s back. Wild horses are different from domesticated horses. Their backs are smooth, without saddles and no focus, and they will easily slip off the horses. So Wen Fei, who jumped on his horse’s back, did not hesitate, grabbed the horse’s mane first, and then bent over and hugged the horse’s neck.
Unprepared, the leader who was still grazing leisurely did not react at all. When it reacted, it felt a pain in the mane on its back, and then the neck was tightly clamped, and the horse’s belly was still clamped strongly, which was very uncomfortable.
The head horse suddenly became frightened and angry, and while neighing, he bounced three feet high, his sturdy horse hooves flew around and kicked all his companions away from him in shock.
The originally peaceful wild horses suddenly became chaotic. Before the wild horses could react and rescue the first horse, the people who had been ambushing around also jumped up at this moment, and rushed towards the target they had chosen.
The wild horse is a stubborn creature. If you want to ride on its back, you must first let it surrender to you.
Chu Xi watched thrillingly from a distance, only watching the horses hoof raised, and the people on horsebacks were pushed up and down by the crazy wild horses. She almost rushed forward in shock several times, but the person who was thrown up high can always fall back on the horse back like an autumn sunset leaf… She regrets it a bit, she knew how dangerous a horse riding is. , It is better to buy a foal directly in the caravan.
But now it’s obviously too late to regret. The horse-rider is lying on the horse’s back, trying every means to tame his wild horses.
This is a contest, and there is no room to look back. Either the man tamed the wild horse and gained a fortune. Either a person is thrown off his horse, and what he will face is countless horseshoes.
Chu Xi watched from a distance, and became more nervous as she watched, her clenched fists and nails were pinched in the flesh without noticing it.
Fortunately, Wen Fei did not do anything unsure. After she picked the horse, she was confident to tame it. What’s more, there were companions around her who helped to control the horses—at first she fell on the horse back and hugged tightly. The horse’s neck, let the horse jump and bump, never let go. When the first horse hit the other horses, she jumped up flexibly, avoiding the impact. When the first horse was forced to start rolling on the spot, she dodged more calmly, never being overwhelmed by the horse.
Finally, the head horse was tired and realized that he could no longer get rid of this person, so he looked up at her exhaustedly. Then he made a light hiss, and lay down on the ground with a whistling pant, as if he had accepted his fate.
Wen Fei was actually exhausted, but it was her who won in the end, so her face still raised a bright smile.
She stood up, patted off the horse’s mane from the palm of her hand, glanced away, and quickly found the panicked light golden pony among the wild horses.
As you get closer, it becomes clearer to see that this horse is really not a white horse, but a rare light golden fur. The sun shines on it, dazzling. It was that Xiao Maju was not too courageous. Seeing Wen Fei approaching him, he stepped back subconsciously, with a little fear.
It’s just that Wen Fei has just tamed the first horse, and the entire group of horses will surrender to her, and the little pony has nowhere to hide even if it is afraid. So it backed down two steps and leaned forward again, and also took the initiative to arch Wen Fei with its head in order to please.
Wen Fei suddenly laughed, touched Pony’s head, and then took it back to see his wife.
“A Chu, look, your little pony.” As soon as he reached the gentle slope, Wen Fei raised his arm and waved at Chu Xi on the slope, smiling with a bright sun.
Only then did Chu Xi on the gentle **** put the weight of the lift back again.
She looked at Wen Fei condescendingly, and the warm spring sun fell on her casually, reflecting the grass clippings on her head, and allowing Chu Xi to see her embarrassment… But anyway, Wen Fei at this time In Chu Xi’s eyes, it was even more dazzling than the golden pony beside her.
So Chu Xi lifted the skirt, ran down the gentle slope, and plunged straight into the man’s open arms.
