Chapter 219 Interlude

Zhang Xiaohu helped Zhang Xiaohua onto the horse and said with a smile: "This is your first time riding a horse. I will lead you for two rounds first. When you get used to it, we will go again. In fact, riding a horse is quite simple. You just need to be consistent with the horse. , just keep the balance, and then control the reins to let the horses know your intentions. These two horses were trained by our Miao Miao Sect and are very obedient."

So, Zhang Xiaohua sat on the horse, and Zhang Xiaohu led the horse for two laps in the square in front of Huanxi Villa. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua had ridden a horse before, and she roughly knew what it felt like. After being given some tips, he soon knew how to control it, and Zhang Xiaohua had already learned the art of floating. The art of floating pays great attention to balance. The movement of the Piao Miao step also emphasizes balance. How difficult is it to balance on horseback? Down him?

After getting familiar with it for two laps, Zhang Xiaohua was able to hit the horse and trot slowly. After running two 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 responded with a smile, and both of them turned their horses' heads and ran out of the square of Huanxi Villa.

At first, Zhang Xiaohua was quite uncomfortable, not only because it was her first time riding a horse, and she couldn't grasp the essentials, and even stumbled a bit when something happened. However, these skills and movements gradually became more proficient over time, and Zhang Xiaohua became more and more proficient. His hands and feet have always been faster than his brain. Before he could think about it, his figure was already very adapted to the posture on the horse. What made Zhang Xiaohua even more uncomfortable was that he was galloping in the middle of the road on a tall horse. That feeling, that kind of light on the back, that feeling as if people all over the street were watching her, made Zhang Xiaohua lower her head from time to time to see what was wrong with her clothes and her riding posture. .

This feeling made his mind so chaotic that even some of the words his second brother said to him could not be heard clearly.

Zhang Xiaohu was riding in front and turned around to talk to Zhang Xiaohua. Seeing that he was absent-minded and feeling strange, he loosened the reins, slowed the horse down to be level with Zhang Xiaohua, and then asked: "Xiaohua, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked around and said, "No, second brother, it's pretty good."

"So, is it awkward to just learn to ride a horse?"

"Yes, second brother, riding a horse and sitting so high up, people all over the street are looking at me, it's very awkward."

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu laughed loudly and said: "Normal, normal, Xiaohua, it was the same when I rode a horse for the first time. I felt like I was the focus of the world, and everyone was watching me. I didn’t know how to let my hands and feet go like this, but as time went by, I realized that it was actually not like this. Although others were really looking at you, they were just looking at you like you were on the ground. How could you talk about looking at me? I just changed it myself. It’s just an environment that you’re not used to, but once you get used to it, you’ll understand that if you don’t believe it, the look in their eyes will sweep past you and not stay much.”

After Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she really had to pay attention. Sure enough, she just glanced at her. How could she look at her like she was thinking about it? At most, they were a little surprised to see such a majestic horse riding an ordinary young man, and some were only slightly envious.

Everything is caused by the state of mind!

Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have wiped away some of the dust in her heart, and had a slight enlightenment. Then she laughed, shook the horse's reins, and hit the horse's butt with a whip. The horse felt pain and galloped away quickly.

This move made the whole street look down upon him.

However, how can the attention of others leave any trace in Zhang Xiaohua's heart?

The two brothers, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua, let their horses rest and controlled them according to their temperament, walking further and further away from Pingyang City.

Just as he walked outside the city, Zhang Xiaohu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Xiaohua, did I forget something?"

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua said in shock: "No way, second brother, you didn't ask about the way home, did you?"

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said: "That's not true.

"

"Well, I must have left the money I brought home 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 practicing my internal strength and packing things these two days, but I forgot to go to Mr. Li. He even visited our house during the Chinese New Year. If we go back this time , it would be rude not to pay a return visit."

Zhang Xiaohua put her mind at ease and said, "What do I think is going on? I have been there recently, and Mr. Li is not here. I heard that he and his husband went out to collect scenery."

"Oh, you've been there, that's good." Zhang Xiaohu felt reassured this time, but then asked again: "Collecting wind? What kind of wind? Are you sure it's not picking flowers, or having a stroke?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed loudly and said: "I don't know that my second brother really has a sense of humor. This collection of styles is not what you said, but to collect folk songs and music. Alas, I only think that a scholar like Mr. Li can learn from it." In addition, go to the fields to experience the customs and compose songs. We hang out in the fields every day, how can we have such leisurely fun? "

Zhang Xiaohu knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I have my own personal interests, and I don't know how my parents, elder brothers and sisters are doing in Guozhuang. Let's go. I don't care if they are collecting the wind or having a stroke. Let's talk about it when we go back home."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "That's true. However, I have already asked Mr. Li for his home address. When we are free, we will go and visit him."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Master Li treats us very kindly. We should really go and have a look at his home."

When the two brothers Zhang Xiaohu came to Pingyang City two years ago, they had empty hands, dark eyes, longing for the road ahead, and more importantly, ignorance. They hit Pingyang City like this while sitting in a carriage, and now Returning home, it felt like returning home in fine clothes. I abandoned the carriage and sat on a tall horse. The good times continued along the way. It was really a joy.

Although Zhang Xiaohua has been an escort before, after all, it is a team as the main body. This is the first time to ride a horse alone for a long distance. There are many differences. Zhang Xiaohu has really done his homework for this. He not only asked about the route home, It was clear that he kept all the things he should pay attention to along the way in mind. However, based on his previous experience, these were not a problem. The two of them talked and walked until noon, when they saw a small road on the roadside. In the store, the two slowed down their horses and prepared to stop and rest.

This is a very ordinary roadside shed, very simple. There are a few thin pillars in front of the shed, and a few bad horses are tied randomly. There are only a few broken tables, a few stools, and not many people under the shed. , were too lazy to sit there. When they heard the sound of horse hooves stopping, they immediately became energetic and raised their eyes to look outside.

Zhang Xiaohu jumped off the horse first, and was about to turn around to hold Zhang Xiaohua's horse and take him down. He looked at the poor horse tied in front of the shed and the people in the shed, and couldn't help but frown. At this time, in the shed, A boy with a deer-headed head and rat-like eyes walked out and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, do you want to have a tip or eat?"

When Zhang Xiaohu saw it, he immediately said: "No, we have no intention of taking a rest."

After saying that, he looked back at Zhang Xiaohua, signaled, led his horse again, walked a few steps, turned on the horse, waited for Zhang Xiaohua to come forward, and whispered: "Stop talking, let's go, and rest at the front." "

After saying that, he hit Zhang Xiaohua's horse with a whip. When Zhang Xiaohua's horse ran, he clamped his legs and ran after him.

When the man saw the two of them riding away, he walked back to the shed angrily, threw the black towel on his shoulder on the seat, and said: "Boss, this job can't be done. This is already the fourth group of people today." Why don't you eat at our place?"

A man with a fat head and big ears came out and yelled loudly: "What nonsense, are you all looking at each of you, like a guest passing by to rest? Can you show some professionalism!"

The other one, who was lazy, spoke up and said: "Brother, it's not that we don't pretend, but it's true that we don't know how to pretend. You want us to rob and be robbers. Of course we are professionals, but we have such a small reputation." , we really can’t do it when people come to our door and sap them.”

"Yes, boss, don't be angry. Look at the two people just now. Their horses are worth some money, and their clothes are average. They probably don't have much money. Let's go."

"Yes, boss, it's been several days, and no one has come in yet. Our sap is almost getting rusty, so we might as well go and rob."

The boss became anxious and said: "You think I don't want to, but the current situation is not right. It's really not suitable for us little guys to go out and cause trouble. Damn it, I don't know what's going on in Xicui Mountain." , ever since they changed their leader, things have been calm for a while, each doing his or her own thing, leaving us with a way to survive. However, during this period, they changed their style, harassed everywhere, and engaged in integration and expansion. If they hadn't been like this , 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 Miao Miao Sect. If we are discovered by others, our lives will be in danger."

"Yes, boss, I've always had a tug-of-war in my heart."

Suddenly, the deer-headed and rat-eyed guy hesitated: "I have an idea, I don't know if the boss wants to hear it."

The boss was very happy and said: "Please tell me quickly and listen."

"I said, don't blame me."

"Tell me, it's not strange."

"Boss, I don't think so. Why don't we really open a roadside store? What do you think?"

"Bah, I know you can't come up with any good ideas. Instead of pursuing such a promising career as robbery, you can do business in a roadside shop." As soon as he heard this, the boss became anxious.

The guy quickly said: "Boss, I'm just talking, just talking."

The boss, with a look of inhuman hatred on his face, swaggered back behind the scenes. When the figure disappeared, everyone relaxed a little and were about to continue slumping on the stool. Suddenly, the boss's fat head and big ears reappeared and said: "Rat, What you said makes sense, let’s make a plan first and discuss it together tonight!”
