"Mom, I'm back." Zhu Xiaohua led the horse back to the stable in the backyard and shouted immediately when he saw a middle-aged woman.
"You damn kid, I heard that you lost your horse again. You lost it once half a year ago. Fortunately, it came back on its own after dark. That time, your dad beat the shit out of you. You didn't learn your lesson. , and lost the horse again." The middle-aged woman scolded.
I was lucky last time. Although the cows are tall and the horses are big, domestic cows and horses will be scared when it gets dark. If you take your domesticated cow or horse out into the wild, it will usually stick to you when it gets dark and follow you wherever you go. If they were alone outside, they would try to get home, that's how old horses know their way. However, not all cows and horses can find their way home, and cows and horses are very valuable. Even if they are slaughtered and sold for meat, they can be sold for a lot. They are easy to be targeted, so it is definitely very dangerous to get lost.
"How could it be lost? Isn't it here?" Zhu Xiaohua quickly argued and lowered his head guiltily.
"I've heard it all. You were looking for a horse just now. I almost asked someone to look for it with you. Fortunately you found it, otherwise your father wouldn't have beaten you to death when he came back." The middle-aged woman scolded, even if a horse is thin The low-quality horses of the Gulingding breed are also very valuable to such a rural family.
"It's really not lost, it just ran a little far away accidentally. Do you think I fed it well?" Zhu Xiaohua said, patting the thin horse's bulging belly and laughing. To see whether cows and horses are full, just look at whether their belly is flat or round.
"You're quite full, but you didn't eat other people's crops, right?" The middle-aged woman was still worried. It took Zhu Xiaohua a lot of effort to persuade her mother to feel relieved, and also persuaded her not to use this food. Tell dad about it.
It was getting dark now, so there was no need for the horse to do any work, so he locked it in the small stable. Early the next morning, as soon as he woke up, Zhu Xiaohua ran into the stable to take a look at his old horse. In fact, he agreed readily to Su Jing and didn't think much about it. But when I thought about it later, I felt that Su Jing's words were a bit strange. How could this old horse of mine change? Is there anything worth observing
However, since you have agreed to your idol's request, you can't break your promise, and you must do what you say. Therefore, I plan to observe carefully every morning and evening to see if there are any changes in Lao Ma so that I can report to Su Jing.
However, when he walked into the stable and saw his old horse for the first time, his eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He was stunned for five seconds before he screamed: "Holy shit, who changed it?" My horse?”
There is a horse in the stable that is a little thin but has strong muscles. It has oily skin, black hair, and piercing eyes. Especially its four legs, which are long and strong, and it looks like it is good at running.
Zhu Xiaohua's first reaction was that someone had exchanged his own horse, but then he thought about it and it was wrong. Who would trade such a good-looking horse for his old, thin and weak horse? What are you doing with nothing to do?
Moreover, the reins are obviously his own. When Zhu Xiaohua approached, the black horse, which looked very strong, stretched out its long face to rub against it. When Zhu Xiaohua stretched out his hand, he even stuck out his tongue to lick his hand. This kind of intimacy was just like what he used to do in his family. The old horse is exactly the same.
"I'll go, this is my horse, right?" Zhu Xiaohua looked horrified and couldn't believe it. He simply untied the horse, released it, put on the saddle, and then rode on it to test it out. In addition, it seemed to be more brisk and powerful. Other than that, his behavior is exactly the same as his own old horse.
Zhu Xiaohua was shocked. This seemed to be his own horse. He thought of Su Jing's words and finally understood what Su Jing meant by change. Even if there was a change in his expectation, it would be a weak change. He never expected that it would be completely transformed overnight.
"Oh my God, this is true or false. I can't be dreaming." Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but scream.
"Xiaohua, why are you yelling so early in the morning?" Zhu's mother, who was making breakfast in an apron, came out with a plate. When she saw the black horse Zhu Xiaohua was riding, she was startled and the plate clattered. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces on the spot.
"What are you two doing, mother and son?" Zhu's father walked out of the bathroom and was stunned when he saw the black horse Zhu Xiaohua was riding.
"Say, Xiaohua, I didn't look carefully yesterday. Did you really lose our horse and then steal someone else's horse? You're a good kid who doesn't want to learn from the bad. ." Mother Zhu said angrily, wanting to pull Zhu Xiaohua off his horse.
"Which horse is missing and what's the situation?" Zhu's father asked. With such questioning, the matter that was finally concealed was revealed again.
"Mom and Dad, I swear, the horse I brought back yesterday was definitely our old horse. How could I have brought it to the wrong horse?" Zhu Xiaohua said anxiously.
"Then according to what you said, someone replaced our old horse with a stronger and younger horse in the middle of the night? Is this possible? Who would be so boring?" Mother Zhu still expressed doubts.
"Of course it's not someone who changed our horse, but our horse changed a lot in one night. This is our horse. If it changes a little bit, wouldn't you recognize it?" Zhu Xiaohua said.
"This is impossible. How many more years can our old horse live? Can he become younger and stronger?" Mother Zhu said.
"Xiaohua, do you think we are old so quickly and so easy to deceive?" Zhu's father said.
"This is really our horse. If you don't believe me, try it." Zhu Xiaohua said. Zhu's father and mother really tried it, but they had to believe it. Their old horse has been with their family for twenty or thirty years and is as familiar as the family. Although its appearance has changed a bit, its behavior and behavior are exactly the same. Besides, he was hungry. If it were a strange horse, he probably wouldn't listen to them so much.
"Oh my God, it's really our horse. How come it changed so much overnight?" Father Zhu and Mother Zhu asked in surprise.
"Actually, yesterday..." Zhu Xiaohua simply broke into Su Jing's house and was fed some grass by Su Jing. Before leaving, he recounted what Su Jing had told him from beginning to end, leaving Zhu's father and mother stunned. .
"Could this be because of Su Jing? I have long heard that A Jing from Sujia Village is legendary for her ability to tame animals. I didn't expect that she was so good at it. So our horse ran out for a while, and it was so good. I've earned it." Mother Zhu said in shock and surprise.
"You can't just look at the appearance. You'll know it after running around. Xiaohua rides it out for a run around to see." Father Zhu still didn't believe it.
"Okay." Zhu Xiaohua nodded, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and pulled the reins. The black horse used its legs and suddenly ran out. The starting speed was so fast that Zhu Xiaohua almost fell off the horse. Moreover, the black horse ran faster and faster. In the end, it was like those professional horses on the racetrack. It was so fast that it disappeared from the sight of Father Zhu and Mother Zhu in a moment, leaving Father Zhu and Mother Zhu completely dumbfounded.
