Chapter 216: Frightened Horse
After talking to Qin Mengyue, Chen Fenghe went to find Chen Wu and others. It was Yuan Xun who took her and the people sent by other families in the exile team to go to the city to purchase.
Dingzhou is close to the northern border, and the market offers a wide variety of goods, rich in local flavor. Thick animal skins, fresh chickens, ducks, and sheep, various dried goods, and medicinal herbs like deer antlers and ginseng are all available. The people at the market are also dressed in animal skins, giving them a rugged and burly appearance.
While observing the people and things around her, Chen Fenghe quickly bought some hens, wild mushrooms, goji berries, and other ingredients from the old hen stall. She didn't buy much of anything, so she could just use the food stored in her space to make up for the shortfall.
After buying things, everyone returned to the inn.
As I was walking down the street, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me, and a woman's voice shrilly shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Help!"
Then, there was the sound of a frightened horse neighing, and people on the street were scared and avoided it.
Chen Fenghe looked towards the source of the sound and saw two horses galloping towards them out of control!
There was a man and a woman sitting on each horse. The woman held the reins tightly. She obviously didn't expect the horse to get out of control. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her whole body was stiff and trembling.
Because she was nervous and panicked, she whipped the horse with a whip in a panic, making the horse even more violent and out of control!
The horse behind her was not in a much better condition. Although the man on the horse did not shamefully shout, his face was obviously pale. He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly and held the reins with his hands, trying to control the horse.
There were many vendors selling buns, fried cakes and other things on the roadside, but now they were also frightened and fled in panic, and countless stalls were knocked away.
A few steps behind the two men, there were several other horsemen. Seeing that their horses were out of control, they also rushed over and shouted:
"Your Highness!"
"Princess!"
Chen Fenghe looked over and recognized that the woman on the horse was Qu Wan'er.
According to rumors heard in the city, the fair-faced man on the other horse must be the second prince Xiao Yuncong, who was ordered to come to the border to inspect the military defense.
Chen Fenghe was somewhat speechless.
Qu Wan'er is really good at getting into trouble. She was probably spoiled since she was a child, and Dingzhou City is her father's territory, so she is so domineering.
No wonder the innkeeper said they knocked over someone's vegetable cart and cursed...
Now, those whose stalls were knocked down on the street can only sigh and consider themselves unlucky.
The out-of-control horses rushed towards Chen Fenghe and his friends like a tornado. Chen Fenghe and his friends hid on the side of the road. Just as the frightened horses were about to pass by, a child's cry suddenly rang out.
"Mom! My little wooden horse! Woohoo!"
The child was crying and suddenly, when the adults were not paying attention, he broke free from his mother's hand and rushed towards the center of the street!
On the ground in the middle of the street was a small wooden horse toy that his mother had accidentally dropped when she was pulling him out of the way.
This incident happened very quickly, and Qu Wan'er's horse just happened to rush over.
The horses were frightened again and the men stood up!
"Ah! Get out of here! Are you trying to kill yourself?" Qu Wan'er grabbed the reins with a pale face. Her body was thrown directly into the air because of the horse's upright movement, and she was about to fall off the horse!
In panic, she whipped the child angrily!
