Probably for horses, running is a kind of happiness.
Seeing the fire wind speeding around the racecourse, Shen Shenxue was a little envious of it. An animal born free can run as much as it wants.
But when he saw it running past him again, all that envy was gone.
Circle after circle, back to the starting point again and again in the circle of confinement. No matter how big the racecourse is, it has boundaries. It is not free after all.
It's just that I'm stuck in this beautiful wish and deceiving myself and others.
Huofeng seemed to notice that Shen Shenxue was in a daze, and it suddenly turned and rushed towards the fence when it was supposed to run over.
Shen Shenxue hurriedly ran over and took advantage of Huofeng's slowdown to grab the reins and signal it to stop.
However, Huo Feng had already run wild and could not bear the restraints. He raised his front hooves to break away from Shen Shenxue.
Shen Shenxue stubbornly held the reins tightly, and the forceful movement caused a burst of pain from the unhealed burn on her arm.
But she was determined to subdue this fierce horse. The more it resisted, the more she became more motivated to fight.
Shen Shenxue's body was swayed left and right by Huo Feng. After trying several times and failing to break free, Huo Feng stopped and looked at Shen Shenxue with his big eyes.
Shen Shenxue caught a glimpse of a lacquered gold saddle lying next to him, and suddenly remembered the powerful look on Huofeng's face when he first saw it, so she walked over, picked up the saddle, and put it on Huofeng's back, with a wicked smile on her lips. .
It wasn't until Shen Shenxue fastened the saddle that Huofeng realized what the man in front of him was planning to do, but Shen Shenxue had already jumped up and sat on the stirrup.
Huofeng immediately raised his front hooves and kept screaming, trying to throw Shen Shenxue off.
Shen Shenxue leaned on the ground and held the reins tightly, but Huo Feng's violent movements still caused her to fall.
There was a dull pain in his shoulders and back. Shen Shenxue gritted her teeth and whispered: "Quan Shi, I don't believe I can't subjugate you."
With that said, he climbed up again while the fire wind was quiet for a while. Huofeng repeated his old trick, swinging from side to side and standing upright, and Shen Shenxue was thrown down again.
Seeing the person lying on the ground, Huofeng immediately stood quietly and looked down at her, with a proud and contemptuous look in his eyes.
That look reminded Shen Shenxue of Quan Shi even more, as she seemed to be thinking of Quan Shi all the time recently.
Shen Shenxue picked up a whip from the side, climbed back on the horse again, and before Huofeng had time to raise its hooves, she swung the whip on its butt.
Huo Feng hissed and was driven forward by the pain.
The ups and downs of the horse's back made Shen Shenxue's whole body hurt even more. Every time the fire wind tried to lift its hooves, Shen Shenxue would give it a whip, forcing it to keep running forward.
After running like this for nearly an hour, Shen Shenxue finally pulled the reins and made Huofeng stop.
Probably because he was still frightened by the merciless whip, Huofeng was much more obedient than at the beginning.
Shen Shenxue led him back to the stable, washed two apples for him and fed them to him, saying, "As long as you are obedient, I will be good to you."
Huofeng turned around angrily and pointed his horse's ass at her.
Shen Shenxue left the apple in the trough and went to have lunch with her sore shoulders.
Seeing Shen Shenxue coming back in a slightly embarrassed state, the maids looked at her with gloating eyes, and one of them said, "I think she feeds the horses very well. Fifth Sister, why don't we let her take charge from now on."
Xiao Wu looked at Shen Shenxue and saw that she was silent, so he said, "Okay, you will be responsible for feeding the horses from now on."
These words hit Shen Shenxue right in her heart. She nodded and said, "Yes."
From then on, every day, the game between Shen Shenxue and Huo Feng could be seen on the racecourse.
After yesterday's torment, Huo Feng had obviously spent the night recharging his energy and preparing to teach Shen Shenxue a lesson. After falling off the horse twice, Shen Shenxue seized the opportunity again, forcing Huofeng to run forward against the whip.
Of course, after the game, Shen Shenxue took better care of it and even took the initiative to clean it.
Shen Shenxue was particularly gentle under the racecourse, and Huo Feng had gradually become accustomed to her preparing food and cleaning for him.
On this day, when Shen Shenxue led Huofeng into the racecourse again, she gently stroked it with one hand and said, "Good horse, please be obedient today."
Huo Feng seemed to understand and snorted lightly.
Shen Shenxue rode it slowly around the racecourse. As expected, Huo Feng no longer showed his temper, and Shen Shenxue was happy to be nice to it.
After the walk, Shen Shenxue fed it delicious food as usual. Occasionally, when Shen Shenxue stood next to it in a daze, it would stretch its head and nuzzle her.
"It would be great if your master was as obedient as you." Shen Shenxue whispered.
Several days of horse training had actually exhausted Shen Shenxue's energy. She had bruises all over her body and even a layer of skin on her thighs.
She decided to let Huofeng wander around on her own for the next few days and take this opportunity to take a good rest.
Who would have expected that early the next morning, Quan Shi would ask Li Chuan to take her to the racecourse.
Quan Shi was dressed in riding attire, with the breeze blowing through his hair, and he looked indescribably heroic.
Seeing Shen Shenxue's tired face, he held a riding crop in one hand, walked over and lifted her chin with the other, with a cold and arrogant look: "If you are more obedient, I can consider letting you go back."
Shen Shenxue looked at him with a smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I've been able to train horses quite easily these days. Speaking of which, this horse's temperament is really similar to yours. It must be whipped a few times before it becomes honest."
Quan Shi's face turned cold, and he pinched her chin a little harder, saying, "You always have to choke me to be happy, right? Didn't you say you wanted me to love you? Did you forget it so quickly?"
Shen Shenxue's smile deepened and she retorted: "Of course I haven't forgotten it. I think of you all the time. When I train the horse these days, I treat it like you. It feels pretty good when I ride it."
"Do you want to be whipped again? Can't you learn the rules after all this time?"
Shen Shenxue's words touched Quan Shi's pain, and every time what happened that night was brought up, his self-esteem would still be hit.
Shen Shenxue laughed, with contempt in her eyes.
"Quan Shi, this is the only way you can do it." The corner of her mouth curled up with a mocking smile, and her voice was cold.
"Haven't you ever thought about how you get the love of others and how you can love others?"
When he said the last sentence, Quan Shi noticed that Shen Shenxue's eyes were slightly red, and the disappointment and regret of that day resurfaced again, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"If," Quan Shi said with emphasis, "if I really fall in love with you, but you want to dump me, haven't you ever thought about how I can love someone else again?"
This time it was Shen Shenxue's turn to be stunned. Was she pushing Quan Shi into the abyss
Today's Quan world already has such a cruel character. If that day comes, will he never trust others again
From then on, I always stood alone in front of the window, looking for the lark deep in the forest.
