I Have 48 Hours a Day

Chapter 607 Note

Zhang Heng originally thought that Lightning was a pony, and Wendy did indeed say so, but Zhang Heng ignored the time at that time. Wendy tamed Lightning when she was 7 years old, and five years later, Lightning had successfully grown into a pony. There was a big horse, with a tall body, shiny fur, strong muscles all over the body, and piercing eyes full of vitality and strength.

In comparison, the carrot standing next to it looks like it was given as a free phone charge.

"If you want to advance part of the reward, you can go to my ranch to pick a horse first..."

"No need," Zhang Heng interrupted the girl, "I am a nostalgic person. You are right. It would be better for us to leave earlier."

"You have the final say." Wendy climbed onto her horse with deft and agile movements.

Zhang Heng also rode on the carrot. At this time, the genius began to shine. Most of the residents in the county were still asleep, and no one noticed the departure of the two figures, one big and one small.

…………

To Zhang Heng's expectation, Wendy had always followed the rules along the way. She basically answered whatever Zhang Heng asked. At other times, she sat on the horse honestly. However, after half a day passed, the two of them just left. Halfway through the planned journey, Wendy couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, you don't have to worry about me. Just speed up. I promise you won't fall behind."

"As you can see, my horse is very old. I don't think it can withstand such a strenuous long-distance run." Zhang Heng said.

Wendy hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"Your horse is very old, but not that old. It can take two steps and still secretly eat grass. I think it is far from reaching its limit."

"Do you know horses very well?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, to be precise, my father knows horses very well. Our ranch may not be the largest in Lincoln County, but my father can indeed be said to be the person who knows horses best within a hundred miles. He knows everything about horses. He gave it to me."

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "How about we revise the contract we signed before."

"What?" Wendy suddenly became nervous when she heard this.

She had no choice but to choose Zhang Heng. Her father had been missing for many days, and she could no longer delay it. However, there were not many outsiders in Lincoln County, let alone someone with Zhang Heng's skills, but the two of them She had never met Zhang Heng before. She didn't know Zhang Heng at all, and she didn't know what kind of person he was. Although she had been trying to be calm, this was no longer a hotel. If the other party really showed any evil behavior, Unfortunately, there isn't much she can do.

Wendy silently held the knife in her pocket with one hand.

Zhang Heng noticed her little move, but didn't pay much attention to it. He said, "How about if you teach me about horses, I can charge you 10 US dollars less."

"Do you want to know about horses?" A strange look appeared on Wendy's face, and she let go of the knife, "In what way."

"Various aspects, including how to choose a horse, raise a horse, ride a horse, how to calm down a violent horse, and how to use spurs." Zhang Heng pointed to the spiked gear behind his boots. He had seen this gadget from previous novels and western movies. He knew that it was used to stimulate horses to make them run faster, and at the same time, it could free up both hands for fighting, but he had no idea how to use it specifically. .

This was a more advanced skill, something he hadn't learned that night with the bailiff.

"I am happy to share this knowledge with you, but most of it is very basic, and you may feel impatient after listening to it." Wendy said cautiously.

"No." As a newbie, Zhang Heng couldn't find Dalao too verbose.

"Then where do we start?" This was the first time Wendy faced such a strange request.

"Why don't we start with the type of horse?" Zhang Heng pointed at Lightning, "What type of horse is yours?"

Wendy stroked her mane and said, "Lightning is an Indian pony. It was first brought to the American continent by Spanish colonists. It thrived here and eventually became what it is now. He is seven years old this year, which is considered to be 7 years old according to human age. Just entering middle age, he is my best companion.”

"What about it?" Zhang Heng then pointed at the carrot and asked.

Wendy looked at the carrot carefully for a while, "I want to take it back, its breed is actually not bad. If I read it correctly, it should be a Hungarian mixed-blood horse. It is a stable breed of mixed horses. This Stallions are generally very smart and can often complete tasks that other horses cannot complete after training, and they have strong self-control."

"Really? Why didn't I see it?" Zhang Heng asked suspiciously as he watched the unorganized and undisciplined carrot who was gnawing grass after taking a few steps.

"You have to learn to control it, and it is indeed old. It is probably almost 25 or 26 years old, which is considered old among humans."

"What about riding?"

…………

After a while, Wendy has determined that Zhang Heng is indeed blank in a certain field, which seems a bit incredible to her. Although there are still quite a few men on the east coast who cannot ride horses and they travel by carriages and trains, however In the west, especially in more remote places where trains are not yet developed, most men learn to ride horses. Especially in the ranch environment where Wendy is located, there are many equestrian masters around.

Although Zhang Heng himself has never said that he can ride a horse, he came to Lincoln County with one person and one horse. With his superb marksmanship and cowboy dress, people subconsciously thought that his riding skills were also very good, no matter how bad he was. It shouldn't be this bad. Just half a day after going out, Wendy felt like she had bought a fake.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Wendy could only comfort herself. At least she was safer. If Zhang Heng really had any bad thoughts towards her, he would not be able to catch up with her.

These thoughts just circulated in Wendy's mind and were not expressed. Wendy remained patient along the way and gave Zhang Heng all kinds of science knowledge he wanted to know. Zhang Heng originally wanted to learn about the customs of the west. Favor, it turned out that Wendy was also blank in this aspect.

According to her, except for family outings, this is the first time she has been so far away from home. In the past, her range of activities was only Lincoln County, or to be more precise, only her family's ranch and county.

Zhang Heng suddenly remembered a question and asked Wendy, "Does your mother know that you are looking for your father?"

"Yes sir," Wendy said calmly, "I left her a note."

"That means you sneaked out."

"No, I left a note." Wendy pointed out the note.

"That's why we call it sneaking out. You didn't tell your mother because you knew she wouldn't approve."
