Three-and-a-half-year-old Chao Chao runs away from home because she is afraid of getting beaten up. She accidentally bonds with a system meant to redeem villains. Her task is to persuade villains t...
Viewers with an omniscient perspective were eagerly anticipating Jiang Chi's reaction when he discovered Chaochao wandering around the cattle pen. Sure enough, they were overjoyed to see Jiang Chi's blank expression.
[Jiang Chi, show some respect to your sister! She's the one who rules the entire cattle pen! (doge emoji)]
[This is hilarious! Jiang Chi is speechless about his sister's day!]
[Has Chaochao forgotten that she's not in the milking team, but in the horse feeding team? lol]
Jiang Chi felt incredibly lucky to witness such a grand spectacle of vying for attention with Niu Niu. The problem was, Niu Niu was a small, pitiful, but enormous cow, not some cat or dog.
Just as Jiang Chi was about to pull this unofficial member of the milking team back, Chaochao turned around as she walked and said to a herdsman uncle in a childish voice, "Niu Niu said that the hay was changed today and it doesn't like to eat it."
Her little finger pointed to the grumpy Brother Niu who had been kicking the iron bucket.
Chaochao put herself in her shoes and realized that if lunch were suddenly changed to something she didn't like, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to be unhappy.
Although the system was reluctant to expose it, but—
"The question is, Chaochao, are there any foods you don't like to eat?"
This is a very difficult question. Chaochao rested her chin on her hand, thinking: "Let me think about it..."
Chaochao was pulled away by Jiang Chi, leaving behind a puzzled herdsman uncle who kept looking the cow up and down.
How did this little girl know he was changing the hay today?
As soon as Chaochao thought about it, she thought of the stables.
Philosophical thinking is paused.
Lei Bao and Hao Guoli had been waiting at the door for quite a while, wanting to wait for Chao Chao to come back before starting the mission together.
Feeding horses grass is much easier than milking cows.
It only takes two steps.
Pick up a handful of grass and offer it to the horse's mouth.
Furthermore, the horses are kept inside a fence, so they won't accidentally hurt the animals outside, which is one of the production team's considerations.
Lei Bao and Chao Chao followed the adults past rows of horses, whispering in amazement, "Wow, the horses' faces are so long!"
Chaochao nodded in deep agreement. The long, horse-like face reminded her of someone: Jingcheng's father.
That day at the restaurant was the last time I saw him. Uncle Xie had such a long face back then, it was quite frightening.
Thinking of this, Chaochao gave the innocent horse an apologetic look: "I didn't mean to say that you scared me, little horse."
After a brief tour of the stables, the herdsmen allowed the guests to start feeding the horses. Encouraged by Hao Guoli, Lei Bao quickly got the hang of it, and all the horses he fed were docile, readily accepting the hay from the children.
Although there would be no collective punishment, the moment Chaochao saw the horse face, Xie Yulin's image would involuntarily appear in her mind, and the little bundle of joy would immediately fall silent.
Jiang Chi was a little puzzled by her reaction. Logically speaking, shouldn't Chaochao, who was so enthusiastic about feeding small animals, be very excited? The little gray birds in the Huo family garden were almost as fat as balls.
Jiang Chi had already fed the horses quite a bit of fodder. He was fairly familiar with horses, and he owned his own horse farm abroad. During his studies abroad, he would occasionally compare riding skills with his friends.
He stuffed a handful of hay into Chaochao's dazed hand, then picked her up and brought her closer to the horse. "Here, feed it hay like this."
Suddenly snapping back to her senses, Chaochao saw the horse's face magnified before her. With a "woof," she turned and buried her head in her brother's neck, nearly shoving the hay into Jiang Chi's mouth.
Jiang Chi, forced to mute: "..."
He subtly shifted his neck back, finally getting some distance from the hay, then patted the little dumpling's back, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Don't you want to feed it?"
The horse, having witnessed the grass it was about to eat fly away, stamped its hooves, making a crisp clattering sound.
Hearing this, Chaochao hesitantly lifted her head from Jiang Chi's shoulder, glanced at the horse, and said, "I... I don't dislike you... it's just that you look too much like someone..."
She found it hard to accept the thought of Uncle Xie's face...
Chaochao sighed in frustration.
Isn't that a bit unfair to the horse?
The system tried to comfort her: "Chaochao, have you forgotten Uncle Xie? Think about My Little Pony, wasn't it super cute?"
The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly.
Jiang Chi asked curiously, "Who does it look like?"
Having successfully overcome her inner demons, Chaochao didn't hear what was said. At this moment, she looked completely refreshed and held out a blade of grass to the horse's mouth, saying, "Baoli, here, have some!"
The horse snorted. First of all, its name isn't Polly!
Seeing the horse begin to chew the hay, Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed... it wasn't quite like that anymore?
Seeing that the little dumpling had inexplicably overcome her psychological barrier again, Jiang Chi didn't ask any further questions. He gave her another handful of grass so she could feed her more.
After feeding the grass, Chaochao finally completed her experience mission. As she was walking back hand in hand with Jiang Chi, she suddenly caught sight of a fine horse on her right.
It must be said that this reddish-brown horse was quite eye-catching among the large herd. It had a full and graceful build, a long and strong body, a slender neck, and a thick and magnificent dark brown mane and tail. It was separated from the other horses, in its own compartment, which was why the others hadn't gone this way earlier.
At this moment, the horse looked down at the little glutinous rice ball on the ground from its high position, with an elegant and noble posture.
The herdsman who manages the horses came over and proudly introduced them: "This is our Akhal-Teke horse, named Daryachi, nicknamed Achi, and it's the leader of the herd here."
Daryachi means "suppression" in Mongolian.
However, talking about the other herders gave him a slight headache. "Achi has the fiercest temper, and we still haven't been able to completely tame him." Towards the end, he simply muttered in Mongolian. Jiang Chi guessed that this was probably an expression of distress.
But Jiang Chi had to admit that, at present, this horse truly deserved the title of "precious horse," both in terms of its size and posture.
Chaochao looked up at Achi in a daze, no longer seeing Yulin's face in her mind. For the first time, she completely cast aside external influences and seemed to be attracted by the beautiful creature in front of her. She couldn't help but take a step forward.
Achi also lowered his head slightly to look at her.
Then, "Sizzle—"
Its nostrils vibrated, exhaling a heavy breath, blowing all the fluffy tufts of hair on its forehead, revealing a blank and bewildered little face.
Hao Guoli, who happened to be passing by, was so frightened that he quickly covered his hair, which was about to float away, and retreated at top speed.
That was close! I almost exposed my receding hairline!
