"Old Bai! It's hard to describe." She smiled and shook her head, looking at the mud and sand all over his body, and said, "There is a stream not far ahead. Do you want to take a bath? Change clothes?"
"Okay, let's talk after I wash myself. It's really rude to do this now." He said a little embarrassedly, and followed the direction Fengjiu said, found the stream, took off his clothes and jumped in to take a bath.
Fengjiu did not follow him, but took advantage of the time when he went to take a shower to catch a pheasant and roast it.
"It smells so good! Fengjiu, I've been hungry for the whole day and they didn't give me any food." He put on new clothes with his hair still dripping with water. He came to sit next to Fengjiu, staring at the chicken roasting on the fire with drooling.
"Come, have a drink first." She took out a small jar of wine from the space and poured him half a bowl.
"That's enough." He held the bowl with both hands: "I'm not very good at drinking."
"If you're not good at drinking, you can't drink on an empty stomach. Let's put it this way! Wait a minute, the chicken is almost done." She smiled and started to add some seasonings, while asking: "Why do you always wander around every time I see you? Where are you going?"
"I don't want to go anywhere. I was just kicked out by my family and asked to go out and gain some experience, but I've run into obstacles everywhere." He said, holding the wine in both hands, his eyes fixed on the roast chicken, while telling everything that had happened to him in the past few days.
"Oh? Are you from a beast taming family?" She was slightly surprised, and then she suddenly realized, yes, if you are not from that kind of family, it is impossible to get a strange horse like Lao Bai.
"Well, but it's useless. I'm not good at fighting. I can only control animals, but sometimes accidents happen. I can't control a strange horse like Lao Bai. For example, the pet of the lady of the two men just now jumped and scratched around for some reason, tearing its master's new clothes and scratching the back of its master's hand until it bled."
Fengjiu used a knife to cut a chicken leg for him: "So, you have nowhere to go now?"
"Well, my family won't let me go back. They told me to make a name for myself out there. However, it's too difficult to make a name for myself. I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
He swallowed and took the chicken leg. Because it was slightly hot, he used a leaf to cushion it from the heat. Then he took a bite. The rich aroma of meat filled his mouth, making his eyes red.
"Fengjiu, you treat me too well. You don't know that the family asked me to train animals, but they only gave me vegetables and steamed buns every day. I was so hungry that I lost a lot of weight. Yesterday they didn't give me any food, and today they caught me and buried me alive. It's really too much."
"Can you really tame animals?" She was also very skeptical. After all, when she first met him, he made Old Bai fall off his horse.
"Of course, there may be accidents occasionally, but I can really tame animals, really." As if afraid that he would not believe it, he emphasized again.
"Since you have nowhere to go, do you want to follow me?" She smiled harmlessly like a big-tailed wolf: "The place I'm going to this time has many beasts, and you can practice your skills there. How about it? Do you want to go?"
Hearing this, he did not immediately agree, but looked at him seriously and asked: "If you see me being chased by a ferocious beast with nowhere to escape, will you save me?"
