Xiaohuan has always obeyed Li Yi's words. Although he was still wondering why my uncle had to starve the horse for three days, what my uncle said was right, and he put the horse grass back.
Liu Ruyi walked in from the outside, watched the little maid walking back with the horse grass in her arms, and asked, "Xiaohuan, have you fed the horse yet?"
"Young master said that you will starve it for three days." The little maid shook her head and said.
"Give me the horse grass, you go to work." Liu Ruyi took the horse grass from her hand and walked towards the stable.
"oh."
The little maid responded, looked at the back of her leaving, and thought that my uncle would not let me feed the horse, and the second young lady wanted to feed the horse, so what if my uncle is not happy
Forget it, I still don't want to, this matter is left to the uncle and the second lady to solve by themselves, thinking that her little rabbit hasn't been fed yet, the little maid shook her head, took some fresh vegetable leaves from the kitchen, and walked to the inner courtyard .
When Liu Ruyi walked into the stable with horse grass, Li Yi was squatting on the soft ground in front of the stable, holding a brush and white paper, as if rubbing something.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, Li Yi stood up, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Ruyi walking towards this side holding the horse grass.
Li Yi saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with her expression, and she didn't look like she was hiding a weapon in the grass, so she felt relieved.
After all, what happened on the horse just now was purely an accident and had nothing to do with him at all. Although Second Miss Liu had a bad temper, she was not an indiscriminate and unreasonable person who made trouble. She didn't draw her sword to chop him at that time, so she probably wouldn't retaliate afterwards.
However, just in case, it's better to make sure first, looked at her with a little vigilance, and asked: "What happened just now, I didn't..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Ruyi pretended to be nonchalant, but didn't want Li Yi to bring up the matter, a blush appeared on her pretty face again, she threw the horse grass into the trough, glared at Li Yi viciously, turned and left .
Now Li Yi is finally relieved, it seems that Miss Liu Er really doesn't intend to care about this matter, but it's the first time I saw her pretty face Feixia just now, a generation of heroines has become a shy little girl , Li Yi was really not used to it in a short time.
In the stables, the bullying Crazy Horse ate horse grass and snorted. Li Yi raised his head and glanced at it. This time, for the sake of Ruyi, he let it go first. Starve it for three days first, this guy doesn't know how many eyes Lord Ma has.
Using white paper and a brush, draw the horseshoe prints in real size on the soft mud floor around the stables, and order some horseshoes from the blacksmith. Although this horse does not give himself face, it is undeniable that it is a good horse. It would be a pity if the horseshoe was worn away.
The blacksmith's workmanship was good, Li Yi asked to tell him, and got four horseshoes the next day.
Out of professional habits, the blacksmith didn't ask Li Yi what these things were for. He had been a blacksmith for many years, so of course he knew the rules of the trade.
Lao Fang held four strangely shaped gadgets in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "My lord, what are these for?"
"horseshoe."
"What is it?" The doubts on Lao Fang's face deepened, "What is a horseshoe?"
Listening to the name, this thing seems to have something to do with horses. However, Lao Fang has experience in raising horses and is familiar with horse-related things, but he has never heard of such things as horseshoes.
"It's shoes for horses." There is no horseshoe in this world, and it's no wonder that Lao Fang is ignorant, Li Yi explained to him.
"What?"
Lao Fang stopped suddenly, and couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Li Yi and asked, "Do horses still need shoes?"
After living for decades, I only know that people wear shoes, but I have never heard of horses wearing shoes. Isn’t this a joke
"They also run on the ground. You need to wear shoes. Why don't horses need them?" Li Yi looked at him and asked back.
Lao Fang really wanted to scold "nonsense", but he held back before he could say it.
"Walking barefoot without shoes hurts your feet. If you step on a stone, you will feel flustered. Horses don't know the pain. What are you doing wearing shoes?" Old Fang said confidently.
He wondered if my uncle had been bewitched by an evil spirit today, and suddenly wanted to put shoes on the horse, and if he wanted to hunt cattle and sheep again in two days.
"You also know how to grind your feet. A horse can run a lot more than you. After a long time, if the horse's hoof wears off, that horse should also be useless."
Lao Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "Grandpa, it's unnecessary, that horse runs back and forth between Fucheng and the stockade every day, it's only a few miles away, and the worn out horseshoe will grow back..., but According to this, the war horses in the army are often used, and the growth speed of the horseshoe is not as fast as the speed of wear, so it is necessary to wear shoes."
Lao Fang understood what Li Yi meant this time. He used to raise horses, and he knew that horses should be used with discretion. He tied the horse in the stable all day long, and if he didn't pull it out for a run often, the horse's hoof would grow deformed. Running for a long time every day, the horse's hoof will be polished again. The former can still be saved, and the latter can only become a useless horse.
My uncle's method is very good. After he reminded me just now, Lao Fang already understood that this strange thing is likely to be nailed to the horse's shoe. Although the horse at home can't use this method, if the war horse in the army has Once you have this treasure, you will no longer be afraid of the horseshoe wearing out.
After listening to what Lao Fang said, Li Yi was also taken aback for a moment. He only remembered reading those time-travel novels in the past. The protagonist invented a horseshoe, which could immediately startle those emperors and ministers. Thinking about rewarding money and giving officials, he subconsciously thought that all horses should be shoed. Hearing what Lao Fang said, he seemed to be really unnecessary this time.
However, since the horseshoe has been made, if you don't install it, you will be sorry for the money you paid to the blacksmith.
Two days ago, it was because this guy lost his face in front of Ruyi, and I will ask those yamen servants to help, tie up this guy, and put horseshoes on it. I think this bullying guy has never seen such a formation before. Scared it to death, if you still act wild in front of me next time, eat horse meat hot pot in front of it...
When Li Yi and Lao Fang went down the mountain this time, they deliberately pulled the horse down in order to shoe him.
In the open space not far from the entrance of the county government office, with the help of Lao Fang, the servants easily put the horse down and tied it up.
The huge horse's eyes were full of fear, and it neighed loudly, but its four feet were tied, and there were so many people around it, it couldn't struggle even if it wanted to.
Lao Fang was about to nail the horse's shoe on it according to the method Li Yi said, when a voice suddenly came from behind.
"What are you doing here?"
A woman in a policeman's costume walked towards this side.
