Chapter 116 Live great, die miserably!
Old Master Tai laughed heartily and replied, "The children are delighted. This big black horse is so majestic, it deserves a good name to suit it."
After that, he told the origin of the big dark horse, and Mr. Tai San was amazed.
"No wonder, no wonder! I was wondering how such fine horses could have ended up in our family! It turns out it was just an accident!"
Old Master Tai nodded and replied, "Otherwise, the border troops wouldn't have sent so many people to track it down. After all, our family took good care of it, and they were embarrassed to take it away directly, so they told us to keep it for now and talk about it later."
Mr. Tai San stroked his beard and smiled smugly and cunningly.
"Once he's well-fed, he's ours. Why would you leave? You have to treat Dahei better from now on and feed him more tender grass and grain."
Old Master Tai wanted to speak more, but Zhuzhu, who was lying on his shoulder, was a little drowsy and was awakened by the laughter of the two men.
The fat girl occasionally looked up and saw the mute moving bricks a few steps away, and subconsciously hugged her grandfather's neck tightly!
The grandfather and grandson had a good understanding of each other. The old man immediately realized that something was wrong and made an excuse to go to the front yard.
"My stomach hurts, I need to go back to the front yard!"
Master Tai San didn't care. Instead, he laughed and said, "Hurry up and go. I drank mutton soup the day before yesterday, and I went to the toilet several times. We are wild boars that can't eat fine bran. We will rebel if we eat a little."
The old man carried his fat granddaughter all the way back to the front. Seeing that there was no one around, he quietly asked his granddaughter a few questions.
Zhuzhu whispered quietly in her grandfather's ear and kept talking in a low voice.
Old Master Tai frowned and warned, "Zhuzhu, don't tell this to anyone again. If you see this person again in the future, stay away from him, understand?"
"Yes!" Zhuzhu nodded vigorously, "Zhuzhu listens to grandpa!"
"Good girl! Our Zhuzhu is so smart, she must be rewarded with a snack!" The old man smiled and happily carried his fat granddaughter back to the room to find the snack box.
Yang Lihua had just taken the time to count the household income and expenditure, and she felt a little anxious.
During this period of time, there has been no income but only spending, and the family savings are rapidly decreasing.
Seeing that the old man had sent his daughter back, she put her daughter aside to eat some snacks, and then calculated it again from beginning to end, but the result was the same.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, thinking about discussing it with her family someday. She must find a way to increase income and reduce expenditure.
After closing the account book and turning around, I found that the fat girl had fallen asleep with the snacks in her arms.
Yang Lihua subconsciously touched the fat girl's forehead and found it was not hot, but her eyebrows were wrinkled as she slept, obviously not feeling very comfortable.
Yang Lihua couldn't help but feel anxious. She went out and quickly said a few words to her sister-in-law, then returned to watch over her sleeping daughter...
On a dirt road about a hundred miles away, He Xiong was running at full speed with two hundred cavalrymen.
Originally, we should have returned to the border directly on the day we left Tai's house, but some minor matters at Tunhewei delayed us.
It has been a month since I left. I don’t know how the border is doing, whether those elusive wolf riders on the grassland, and those tough-skinned and thick-fleshed yellow-haired guys in the north have come to harass us.
He Xiong was a little anxious, and he whipped the warhorse twice with the whip in his hand.
The warhorse felt a little pain and ran even faster.
But after a while, He Xiong felt a faint pain in his stomach. He endured it again and again, and slowly sweat appeared on his forehead.
In desperation, he gestured to the back.
The team slowly stopped, and He Xiong loudly ordered, "Rest for an incense stick, and then continue on the journey."
Upon hearing the sound, the soldiers dismounted, stretched their sore legs, and let their horses rest.
Some people who care about horses even pour out the water in their water bags to share with the horses.
He Xiong found a deserted place and relieved himself. When he came back, his personal guards handed him a water bag.
He casually drank two sips, looked at the mountain pass in the distance and said, "We'll be home after crossing the mountain pass and running a few dozen miles."
The personal soldier also smiled and replied, "That's right. Normally I dislike this place because it's cold and remote, but after walking for a long time, I really miss it."
He Xiong handed the water bag back and was about to give the order to hurry on when he saw the huge rock on the side of the mountain pass in the distance suddenly roll down and hit the path below.
The rumbling sound was like thunder, and the smoke and dust stirred up by the fallen rocks and gravel covered the sky!
Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to speak and their faces looked extremely ugly.
If they had not rested for a moment, they would probably have become ghosts under the boulder.
They guard the border with their heads tied to their pockets almost every day, so naturally no one is afraid of death.
But there are many kinds of death. It is an honor to die in battle like the Seventh Battalion did. But if you are killed by a stone while walking, that would be too cowardly!
Fortunately, fortunately...
He Xiong subconsciously touched his stomach. It was very painful just now, but now he felt nothing at all.
Could it be that God blessed them and saved them from death?
Zhu. Oh my God. Zhu slept until dusk, then got up rubbing his eyes, his little face looking listless.
Yang Lihua sat aside, not even daring to do needlework, her eyes were bloodshot.
After waiting for a long time, her daughter finally woke up and didn't cry or make a fuss. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up her daughter and patted her gently.
"Damn, Zhuzhu is awake. Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry?"
Zhuzhu snuggled into her mother's warm embrace, and said coquettishly, "Mom, Zhuzhu still wants to sleep. My hands and feet are sore!"
Yang Lihua was heartbroken. She didn't understand why her daughter suddenly became weak. Otherwise, she would have wanted to sacrifice herself in her place and didn't want her child to suffer at all.
