A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
On the training field, the little wild donkey took the lead, more like a horse than a fine steed.
Behind it were dozens of military horses of various colors, the fastest of which was two full lengths behind.
Behind the military horse were Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox.
They both run very fast, especially Xiao Hua, whose top speed is even faster than the little wild donkey, but it's not sustainable, only a momentary burst of speed.
"Whoa~"
"Whoa~"
"Platoon leader, we really can't outrun it. This guy is really fast; its four legs are practically leaving afterimages."
One of the soldiers, riding on horseback, wished he could dismount and run alongside Big Black.
That cheeky wild donkey runs really fast.
"Oh...ah..."
Not far away, a little wild donkey stood on a small hillside, braying proudly at them.
Soon, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox also ran over.
They trained together frequently, and the warhorses became familiar with Xiaohua, so they weren't afraid anymore.
"Look at it, it's grinning at us, I really want to punch it."
"Don't talk nonsense. These are raised by my sister-in-law. Have you forgotten who took the last photo? Have you forgotten who raised the quail eggs we ate?"
The platoon leader, gazing at the wild donkey with its mouth wide open in the distance, felt a bit itchy to bite it.
In the military, everything depends on ability; if you can't outrun someone, you just can't outrun them.
But... it's really too cheap.
Beside him, the soldier scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I was just saying it casually, how could I actually hit it?"
"If I beat her up, not only will my sister-in-law suffer, but even the regimental commander won't let me off the hook."
...
Not far away, Zhuang Mingcheng arrived on a chestnut horse, accompanied by several men from the company.
Seeing the group gathered together on horseback, he was puzzled and spurred his horse over.
"Why aren't you training properly? What are you all doing here?"
Everyone was taken aback, but then immediately began to report.
Seeing how fast the little wild donkey was running, they even had a little idea: it would be really impressive to ride it for a while.
"Really?"
Zhuang Mingcheng looked at the little wild donkey on the hillside, somewhat surprised.
How can the wild donkey that pulls his cart run so fast?
Even dozens of well-trained warhorses couldn't catch up with it.
"Captain, it's true. Not only is it fast, it also has great stamina. It ran several laps and didn't seem tired at all."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Mingcheng simply waved towards the hillside.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey snorted and came running over quickly.
It is very excited now, showing no trace of the despair it felt yesterday.
Zhuang Mingcheng, still on horseback, leaned down and touched its lips. Seeing that the swelling had subsided, he was relieved.
"You stubborn little donkey, are you really running that fast?"
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey tilted its head back and nudged his arm, then moved closer to the chestnut horse and sniffed it.
"This guy is actually quite interesting."
Zhuang Mingcheng looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.
Gripping the reins, he touched the horse's belly with his heel, wanting to test the quality of the young wild donkey.
"Attention, all personnel. Target: Training Ground One. Full speed ahead!"
"drive!"
Zhuang Mingcheng cracked his whip, and the chestnut horse darted off.
The horse he rode was, if not the best in the troupe, its speed was definitely in the top ten. If the little wild donkey could outrun him, it would be considered truly fast.
The soldiers behind them followed suit.
"Boom!"
The little wild donkey was sniffing around when it saw the army horses all run away.
"Oh...ah..."
It let out a neigh and immediately started chasing after it.
Although its braying wasn't very pleasant, the little wild donkey was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, it had moved from the back to the middle.
At the very front was Zhuang Mingcheng riding a chestnut horse, which was very fast.
The little wild donkey looked on and immediately became excited.
With all its might, the four donkey legs caught up with Zhuang Mingcheng's chestnut horse in no time.
A donkey and a horse ran side by side. The little wild donkey turned its head and glanced at them, then grinned.
On the crimson horse, Zhuang Mingcheng's lips twitched. He wished he could whip it. The little wild donkey's cheeky behavior was really asking for a beating.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey brayed and strode past the chestnut horse, running to the front.
Looking back, it had slowed down a bit, maintaining a two-body-length distance, running at a leisurely pace.
Zhuang Mingcheng stared at him, secretly grinding his teeth.
This big, clumsy donkey looks like it's running very easily; it could probably go even faster. I just don't know if it can still run after carrying a person.
"Boom!"
After a while, everyone ran to Training Ground No. 1.
Zhuang Mingcheng pulled on the reins and slowly brought the car to a stop.
He dismounted and beckoned to the little wild donkey, "Little stubborn donkey, come here."
Turning his head, he said to the messenger, "Hao Dazhuang, bring me a saddle."
"yes."
Seeing that the regimental commander seemed to be about to ride a donkey, the soldiers watched curiously.
If the wild donkey could maintain the same speed while carrying people, it would be the fastest horse...donkey in the regiment.
Soon, Hao Dazhuang returned carrying a saddle, and with Zhuang Mingcheng's comforting words, the saddle was successfully mounted on the little wild donkey's back.
But when Zhuang Mingcheng tried to ride it, the little wild donkey became reluctant.
The little wild donkey shook its head and nudged Zhuang Mingcheng, not wanting him to go up.
"Good boy, you stubborn little donkey, let me try. This afternoon I'll take you to the troupe and let you eat the finest feed from the horse stable."
Zhuang Mingcheng stroked its head, comforting it.
He took an egg out of his pocket and offered it to the donkey's mouth.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey turned its head away, refusing even its favorite food.
It bit the saddle off its body and pulled it off.
With a neigh and a head raised, it galloped towards the distant grassland amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Behind it, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox followed.
"That stubborn mule..."
"It seems that only Fangfang will have the chance to ride."
Zhuang Mingcheng watched the little wild donkey running towards his wife and couldn't help but smile.
He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. A good horse can only recognize one master, just like Red Hare.
Yes, donkeys should be like that too. His little wild donkey runs so fast; that must be Red Hare Donkey.
"Commander, you can't ride it either?"
"Commander, this donkey should be trained like a horse. It will be fine once it gets used to it."
Zhuang Mingcheng turned to look at the soldiers, shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's very stubborn, and training it won't work. Only your sister-in-law has the chance to ride it."
"Alright, let's all train hard."
"yes!"
Zhuang Mingcheng mounted his chestnut horse and led his men on another inspection tour.
After a while, he turned his head and saw his wife sitting on the grass, busy with something.
The little wild donkey, the little flower, and the little Tibetan fox all rushed towards her.
Zhuang Mingcheng glanced at it again, but showed no intention of going over.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he's very busy today. He has to hurry back to the regiment to be with Xiao Aiguo and visit the outposts below.
