At dusk, the western sun shines in the valley and hits the old horse's butt under Wu Nian's crotch.
He slapped his back hard and chased after the uncle in front of him.
This old horse was pitiful, and he didn't want to spank it, but this horse was not as fast as the uncle's horse. The uncle was also careless and was not afraid of losing his employer. He threw Wu Nian away for a hundred meters.
distance.
When passing the curve, no one could be seen. Wu Nian was afraid that if there was a fork in the road ahead, he would be in trouble if he took the wrong route.
"Damn it, I have to deduct his salary!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, and the uncle had no intention of waiting, Wu Nian could only shout at the top of his lungs.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle?"
Even though he knew that the uncle was deaf, he still habitually ignored this problem and did not reflect on himself at all. This situation has happened many times, and he has not yet summed up his experience, so he just took off his pants and farted.
Echoes echoed in the valley, but the deaf uncle had no reaction at all.
Wu Nian was speechless. If he didn't have a rough understanding of the uncle's temperament, he would have doubted whether the uncle did it on purpose.
"I can't help it, it's the same old rules."
Wu Nian turned over and dismounted, patted the old horse's long face, and said reluctantly: "I'm really taking advantage of you, let you feel the joy of flying again!"
There seemed to be a flash of panic in the old horse's eyes. The horse's hoof moved and he took two steps back.
Wu Nian grabbed the reins, a little helpless. He didn't want to do such a thing. If he knew the way, why would he need to chase people on horseback? With his strength, he could chase horses on horseback.
Oh no, there is no need for a horse at all. He can run eight hundred miles at night.
No need for grass yet.
"Be good, don't be afraid, don't be naughty! It's a matter of life and death, you have to help me."
Turn your back to the old horse, grab one of the horse's front hoofs in each hand, arch your body, like those athletes who sprinted 100 meters in previous lives, and then take a deep breath.
The old horse shivered for a while and neighed uneasily.
"call……"
He looked ahead, adjusted his posture, and then exerted force on his front foot.
"Bang!" The ground cracked.
Eject directly and take off!
A trail of dust and smoke was left in the valley.
Running wildly all the way, at an extremely fast speed, the scenery behind him quickly retreated. The old horse was blown by the strong wind so that he could not open his eyes, his ears were pulled close to his neck, and his mouth was blown out, revealing a yellow mouth.
tooth.
In the valley, the frightened and violent neighing of horses can be heard endlessly...
Outside the valley.
At the crossroads where a narrow trail connects to a wide official road, a brown-haired horse gnaws on licorice. Next to it, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing brown linen twists his thick waist, slaps his thighs, and relaxes his long hair.
The soreness of time riding.
If there hadn't been a fork in the road here, and the young man would have taken the wrong path, he would never have stopped unless the horse couldn't hold on.
There are two reasons for this.
When he set off, his mother-in-law translated the employer's request for him. In addition to the basic employment fee, there was also a reward. The premise was that the sooner he arrived at Songhai, the more reward he would get. This was the main reason.
It's not because he is stubborn and refuses to obey his old age that he wants to compete with his employer on speed and equestrian skills.
At first, he was very proud of having left his employer a few blocks away. If he hadn't been afraid of losing the person, he would not have gone back to look for him.
That time, the employer was very unconvinced and felt that he was better because the horse was younger. He gestured to ask for a change of horse, but his horse was not young either. It was only born five or six years later than the employer's horse.
Moreover, this horse has a fierce temper and is very accommodating, so the employer will definitely not be able to control it.
Well, that's it.
Later, he discovered that his employer was really anxious. The way he chased him shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Every time he got away a little from him, he would catch up with him on his back. When he first saw this kind of operation, he was frightened.
Shout loudly.
The employer is so impatient that he cannot hold him back.
Besides, the earlier you arrive, the more reward you will get. If you don’t have the business power, how can you be worthy of your employer and his wallet?
The misunderstanding between the two got deeper and deeper, until the deaf uncle couldn't bear it anymore, but Wu Nian was still so impatient.
Fortunately for the uncle, he had to take a shortcut through a narrow path to get here, so he could stop briefly and stretch his muscles.
He sat down on the ground, took out his water bottle and drank a few big gulps. He glanced around and saw Wu Nian pulling the old horse out of the valley like a cart driver.
Then he braked suddenly and stopped beside him.
The man was fine, but the old horse lay on the ground and foamed at the ground. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed. This was a crime!
He determined that the horse had been tortured by its employer to the point that it could no longer run, and was not at all due to old age.
The strange thing is that when he thought the horse was about to die, it became energetic again after his employer gave it a few massages.
He couldn't imagine the world of martial arts practitioners.
Wu Nian clapped his hands, took out the water bottle and took a sip. Looking at the deaf uncle who looked indifferent and seemed to have been used to this situation, he asked: "Uncle, how long will it take for us to reach Songhai?"
The uncle looked at Wu Nian's moving lips carefully, hesitated for a moment, then raised his middle finger, and then bent it again.
Although he is not yet good at lip reading, he has mastered a pattern after many "smooth" communications.
The first sentence every time his employer communicates with him is to ask: "How long will it take to arrive?"
So this time it’s the same old rules.
Wu Nian saw him making unprofessional gestures, hesitated, and asked in a very slow voice: "One and a half days?"
In fact, it’s not that the uncle’s sign language is unprofessional, but that Wu Nian can’t understand professional sign language at all!
This time the uncle understood what Wu Nian meant, shook his head like a rattle, and shouted Aba Aba and waved his hands.
He turned his head left and right, then picked up a dry branch from the ground, shook it at Wu Nian, and then broke it with a click. After throwing away the other half, he inserted the half of the branch into the ground with some frustration.
Then he folded his arms and gave Wu Nian a caring look. He pointed to the half branch stuck on the ground with his chin and asked Wu Nian to figure it out for himself.
"Oh..." Wu Nian looked like he had suddenly realized something, and nodded hard, without giving an answer to show that he was a smart person.
Wu Nian saw that his uncle looked tired and the horse was tired, so he simply took out the dry food, and the two of them sat together and began to eat.
It's almost dark.
The two of them planned to rest for half an hour before setting off.
At this time, the sound of galloping horse hooves sounded in the valley, and a strong black horse rushed out quickly.
The uncle is deaf and cannot hear, so he is still eating dry food by himself.
Wu Nian heard the sound and looked up.
On the horseback was a man wearing black armor, a helmet and a Rakshasa mask.
"Cover the sun!"
Wu Nian became alert for a moment, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant, lowering his head to gnaw on the food.
He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble at the moment, unless the other party insisted on getting close to him like that crazy guy from Shengqi.
He was injured, and although he was used to the pain, he would not do anything if he could. The wound seemed to be cursed, and there was no sign of improvement at all. He guessed that he was still in an abnormal state, not something bad.
On the relationship between "living people".
This kind of problem may not be solved until you get to know Yan Lu.
Thinking of Yan Lu...
"Isn't this Hidden Sun going to hunt down the Amazing Salamander?"
Hiding the sun, he went on horseback and noticed these two people as early as he came out of the valley.
Looking at the clothes of these two people, one is a farmer; the other seems to have a good family background. The two horses around him are also the poorest old horses. The dry food they eat looks very rough.
When he passed by the two of them, he just glanced sideways, then walked up the path and walked away. He didn't sense any internal energy fluctuations in the two of them.
In fact, the moment Wu Nian saw the hidden sun, he tried his best to suppress his inner strength and did not reveal even a single bit.
The deaf uncle just looked up and saw that the man looked like a soldier. Although he was a little scared, he turned his head and glanced at Wu Nian next to him and immediately felt at ease.
After the two rested for a while, they were ready to hit the road.
As soon as he got up, the old horse looked at Wu Nian and quickly hid behind the other horse, roaring uneasily.
But how could Wu Nian know how to feel pity? He grabbed its mane and climbed onto the horse's back.
The uncle also got on his horse, pointed domineeringly at the path over the mountain, and set off at the lead.
Wu Nian casually took a look at the terrain here. The official road went along the foot of the mountain, and the small road went up the mountain. It should be a shortcut, so he didn't ask much and followed the uncle up the mountain road.
He couldn't help but think of the same path that Hidden Sun took.
"Will we meet by chance again?"
Wu Nian couldn't help but have such an idea in his heart, he had a premonition. This chapter has been completed!
