Chapter 219 Interlude
Zhang Xiaohu helped Zhang Xiaohua onto the horse, and said with a smile: "This is your first time riding a horse. Let me lead you for a couple of laps first. Let's go after you get used to it. In fact, riding a horse is quite simple, you just need to be consistent with the horse. , Just keep your balance, and then manipulate the reins to let the horse know your intentions, these two horses were trained by our Misty faction, they are very obedient."
So, Zhang Xiaohua sat on the horseback, and Zhang Xiaohu led the horse and walked around the square in front of Huanxi Villa twice. Give me some tips, and I will soon know how to control it, and Zhang Xiaohua has already learned the technique of floating in the air. The technique of floating in the air pays attention to balance, and the movement technique in Misty Step also pays attention to balance. How difficult is it to balance on the back of a horse? Down him?
After getting familiar with it for two laps, Zhang Xiaohua was able to trot slowly on the horse by herself, and ran two more laps in the square. Zhang Xiaohu also got on the horse and said, "Okay, Xiaohua, you learn very quickly. Now that you have learned , then let's go back quickly."
Zhang Xiaohua agreed with a smile, and both of them turned their horses' heads and ran out of the square of Huanxi Villa.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohua was not used to it, not only because it was the first time riding a horse in the true sense, she couldn't grasp the essentials, and sometimes she staggered a little. These skills and movements became more proficient with time, and Zhang Xiaohua His hands and feet are always faster than his mind, and before he can think it over, his figure is already very adapted to the posture on horseback; what makes Zhang Xiaohua even more uncomfortable is riding a tall horse galloping in the middle of the road That kind of feeling, that kind of awning on her back, that feeling that people all over the street are watching her, makes Zhang Xiaohua lower her head from time to time to see what's wrong with her clothes, and what's wrong with her riding posture .
This feeling made his mind go crazy, and he couldn't even hear what the second brother said to him.
Zhang Xiaohu rode in front, turned around to talk to Zhang Xiaohua, saw that he was absent-minded, felt strange, let go of the rein, slowed down the horse, and made it even with Zhang Xiaohua, then asked: "Xiaohua, are you feeling well?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked around and said, "No, Second Brother, it's pretty good."
"Then, are you just learning how to ride a horse, so it's awkward?"
"That's right, second brother, sitting so high on a horse, people all over the street look at me, it's very cramped."
"Hahaha." Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu laughed loudly, and said: "Normal, normal, Xiaohua, it was the same when I was riding a horse for the first time. I felt that I was the focus of the world, and others were watching me. I don’t know how to put my hands and feet like this, but after a long time, I realized that this is not the case. Although others really look at you, they just look at you like you on the ground. How can you talk about staring? I just changed it myself. It’s just that you don’t quite get used to an environment, but when you get used to it a little bit, you’ll understand, if you don’t believe me, when you look at their eyes, they’re all swept away from you, and they don’t stay very long.”
Zhang Xiaohua listened, and really had to pay attention, sure enough, he just cast a glance, how could he stare like thinking for himself? At most, seeing such a handsome horse riding an ordinary young man immediately showed a little surprise, and some of them were only slightly envious.
Everything is at work!
Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have wiped away a bit of dust in her heart, realized a little, then laughed, shook the horse's reins, and hit the horse's butt with a whip, the horse hurt and galloped away.
This move caused the eyes of the whole street to roll.
However, how can the attention of other people leave traces in Zhang Xiaohua's heart?
The two brothers Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua let their horses rein, and controlled the horses according to their temperament, and they gradually moved away from Pingyang City.
As soon as he walked outside the city, Zhang Xiaohu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Xiaohua, did I forget one thing?"
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said, "No way, second brother, you didn't ask about the way home, did you?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly: "That's not true.
"
"Well, it must be the silver money that I brought home, and I left it in the house. It doesn't matter, I still have it here."
Zhang Xiaohu still shook his head and said: "I will never forget those things. I have been busy training my internal strength and packing my things these two days, but I forgot to look for Mr. Li. He came to our house to see him during the Chinese New Year. If we go back this time , it would be rude not to pay a follow-up visit."
Zhang Xiaohua let go of her heart, and said: "What do I think is the matter? I have been there recently, and Mr. Li is not here. I heard that I went out to collect wind with my husband."
"Oh, you've been there, that's good." Zhang Xiaohu was relieved this time, but then asked again: "Caifeng? What kind of wind? Are you sure it's not picking flowers, or having a stroke?"
Zhang Xiaohua laughed loudly and said: "I can't see that the second brother really has a sense of humor, but this collection of folk songs and music is not what you said. Sigh, I only want to learn from a literati like Mr. Li. In addition, go to the fields, observe the customs, and compose songs. Like we hang out in the fields every day, how can there be such leisure fun?"
Zhang Xiaohu knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I have personal interests, and I don't know how my parents and eldest brother and sister-in-law are doing in Guozhuang. Let's go, don't care if they are collecting wind or stroke, let's talk about it when we go home."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "That is, but I have already asked Mr. Li's home address, and when we are free, let's go and visit."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Young Master Li has treated us very kindly, you really should go to see him at his home."
When Zhang Xiaohu and his brother came to Pingyang City two years ago, their hands were empty, their eyes were darkened, they were full of longing for the road ahead, and they were more ignorant. Returning home, I felt like returning to my homeland, abandoning the carriage and sitting on a tall horse. The good times along the way continued, and it was really a joy.
Although Zhang Xiaohua has gone through darts before, but after all, the team is the main body. This is the first time to ride a long distance alone. There are many differences in it. For this reason, Zhang Xiaohu has really done his homework. It must be clear that even the precautions along the way are all in mind. However, based on his previous experience, these are not a problem. The two of them talked and walked until noon, when they saw a small car on the side of the road. Shop, the two slowed down their horses, ready to stop and rest.
This is a very ordinary roadside shed, very simple, with a few thin pillars in front of the shed, and a few bad horses tied up indiscriminately. There are only a few broken tables, a few stools, and few people under the shed. , were too lazy to sit there, and when they heard the sound of horseshoes stop, they immediately cheered up and raised their eyes to look outside.
Zhang Xiaohu jumped off his horse first, and was about to turn around and take Zhang Xiaohua's horse, and carry him down, but he looked at the poor horse tied in front of the shed, and at the people in the shed, he couldn't help frowning, at this moment, in the shed A rogue-eyed man walked out, and asked with a smile on his face, "May I ask whether you want to eat or not?"
Seeing him, Zhang Xiaohu immediately said, "No, we don't plan to rest."
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Zhang Xiaohua, gave a signal, led his horse, walked a few steps, got on the horse, waited for Zhang Xiaohua to come to the front, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, let's go, go to the front and rest. "
After finishing speaking, he hit Zhang Xiaohua's horse with a whip, and when Zhang Xiaohua's horse ran away, he pinched his legs and ran away.
Seeing that the two of them rode away, the guy walked back to the shed resentfully, threw the black towel on his shoulders on the seat, and said, "Boss, I can't do this job anymore. This is already the fourth group of people today." No, why don't you eat at our place?"
A ferocious-looking man with a fat head and big ears came out and shouted loudly: "Nonsense, look at you one by one, do you seem to be guests passing by for a rest? Can you show some professionalism!"
The other lazily opened his mouth and said, "Brother, it's not that we don't pretend, but it's true that we can't pretend. You want us to rob and be robbers. Of course we are professionals, but we can make such a small face." , Waiting for people to come to the door and beat Sap, we really can't do it."
"Yes, Boss, don't be angry. Look at the two people just now, that is, the horse is worth a little money, and the clothes are also average. I guess there is nothing lucrative, so let's go."
"Yes, Boss, it's been several days, and no one has come in yet. Our sap is almost rusted, so we might as well go and rob."
The boss was anxious, and said: "You think I don't want to, but the current situation is not right, it is really not suitable for us young people to go out and make trouble. Damn, I don't know what is going on in Xicui Mountain , since they changed their leader, they have been calm for a period of time, each doing his own thing, leaving us a way to survive. During this period of time, why did they change their style, harass everywhere, engage in integration and expansion, if it weren't for them , we don’t have to leave our hometown and come here to make a living.”
"Yes, boss, this is the sphere of influence of the Misty Sect. If we do this, if someone finds out, our lives will be lost."
"Yeah, Boss, I've always been having a chug in my heart."
Suddenly, the rat-headed guy hesitated and said: "I have an idea, I don't know if the boss wants to hear it."
The boss was very happy and said: "Quickly tell me and listen."
"I said, don't blame me."
"Tell me, it's not strange."
"Boss, I don't think it's better, why don't we really open a roadside shop, what do you think?"
"Bah, I know you can't come up with any good ideas. Instead of robbing such a promising career, do business in small roadside shops." Just after hearing this, the boss became anxious.
The guy hurriedly said: "Boss, I'm just talking, just talking."
The boss had an inhuman hatred on his face, and swaggered back behind the scenes. After the figure disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue collapsing on the stool. What you said makes sense, let's make a plan first and discuss it at night!"
