With the combined efforts of the three, Bai Song found a foothold and quickly stood up by pulling the rope. Maintaining a forward posture, he quickly climbed up.
But the horse that Baisong was riding was not so lucky. The more it struggled, the more it could not maintain stability, and it slipped faster and faster.
By the time Baisong came up, the horse had already passed the middle part of the slope.
Bai Song was about to pull the rope and turn around to save the horse, but Ma Zhiyuan stopped him immediately.
"It's good that everyone is okay. The horse is too heavy and it can't be saved at this speed." Ma Zhiyuan took a look at the horse and didn't look at it again.
The horse struggled for six or seven seconds, finally let out a wail, and disappeared from sight. Then six or seven seconds later, the sound of a horse falling to the ground was heard at the bottom of the cliff.
Bai Song sat on the ground helplessly, his heart beating fast and his body shaking violently. It is difficult to understand this moment without experiencing it personally.
"Thank you everyone," Bai Song recovered his composure, sat on the ground and bowed to the three of them.
"You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay. You don't have to thank us. Just thank Xiao Ma." Sun Yi waved his hand.
"Brother Ma," Bai Song supported himself and stood up, hugging Ma Zhiyuan, "I'm really sorry that you lost a good horse. I, I will definitely compensate you."
"Why are you saying that? I'm your guide, how can I let anything happen to you here?" Ma Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's just a horse, it's no big deal."
Bai Song didn't say much, he already had a plan in mind. He patted Ma Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and he felt a little better.
It only took 20 seconds from start to finish. If it weren't for Ma Zhiyuan, Bai Song really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be. It was such a pity for this good horse.
After a while, Bai Song found that his pants were worn out in several places, and there was a large abrasion on the outside of his calf, and the muscle layer was faintly exposed. Not only Bai Song, but Ma Zhiyuan was also injured. When he grabbed Bai Song and the horse with one hand, his arm was also strained, but fortunately it was not serious and it was not serious.
After applying some common medicine, Bai Song said, "We are not too far from the village, let's hurry over there."
"Your leg is injured, you can ride my horse and I can walk," Liu Gang handed over the reins.
"No, thank you." Bai Song was already traumatized by the horses. "I have no problem walking."
Several people also understood Bai Song's condition. Sun Yi looked at Bai Song's injury again and said, "In your case, the wound is still prone to infection. So, you follow Xiao Ma back to town. Xiao Liu and I can solve the problem. We are more familiar with this place."
"No, you guys just go ahead. I've walked this road several times. It's just one road. I can walk there slowly." Bai Song shook his head: "I'm fine. You guys ride your horses and go there earlier. I can walk there."
At Bai Song's insistence, Sun Yi and Liu Gang set off first, and Ma Zhiyuan accompanied Bai Song. The horse's knee was a little scratched and it was not suitable for carrying people. Ma Zhiyuan's arm was injured and it was not convenient to ride a horse. The two supported each other and walked little by little.
After walking for almost twenty minutes, Bai Song's heart rate finally returned to normal. Who would have thought that such a peaceful road could be so dangerous.
"I really don't know how to thank you." Bai Song hammered his chest with one hand: "If you go to the capital or Tianhua City in the future, don't forget to inform me. I will be responsible for the whole process."
"Okay." Ma Zhiyuan smiled sincerely, "My sister will take the college entrance examination next year. If she can get into a university in the capital, I will send her there."
This was the first time Ma Zhiyuan mentioned his sister to Bai Song, which surprised Bai Song. "You have a sister? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
"I'm your guide, why would I bring this up?" Ma Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Bai Song. "I didn't receive much education myself, but I need my sister to go to a good school. My parents don't really support girls studying, so I'll just be responsible. However, I heard that things are very expensive in big cities, so I'll go everywhere and take any job."
"Your sister is so lucky to have you." Bai Song sighed, and then asked, "How much does a horse cost here?"
"Why are you asking this?" Ma Zhiyuan quickly responded: "It's okay, I didn't spend any money to buy this horse. The one that fell was born to a previous horse. It's only two years old."
"Ah? Which one are you talking about?" Bai Song asked ashamedly.
"That one also fell off the cliff." Ma Zhiyuan was a little helpless.
Bai Song was speechless, and then asked: "Then how much is a horse worth?"
"It's not much money." Ma Zhiyuan changed the subject: "Walk slower. My arm injury won't affect my walking. Watch the road. If you step on empty space again, I may not be able to pull you up."
Bai Song thought to himself that he would ask Sun Yi or Lao Ma later and that he had to compensate the money no matter what.
The two chatted and told each other some interesting things, so they were not too tired. After walking for more than two hours, they were not far from the village. Bai Song heard a rustling sound coming from the woods ahead.
Ma Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly focused, he knew that this sound was very wrong. There was only this one road nearby, and the rest were cliffs or woods. It was normal to occasionally encounter horse riders along the way, but this sound coming from the woods was definitely not normal.
"What's wrong?" Bai Song stopped and asked Ma Zhiyuan.
"I don't know." Ma Zhiyuan took out a half-foot long knife from the backpack on the back of the horse. Knives are very common self-defense tools when walking in these places. "Take this rope. If it is a wolf or something, we can scare it. It will run away when it sees that we have weapons. If there are several wolves, we must find a way to kill one! We can give up the horse, but we can't let it get bitten."
"What if it wasn't a wolf?" Bai Song was actually a little excited at this moment.
"If it's not a wolf," Ma Zhiyuan said softly, "With such a big commotion, it must be either a human or a Bengal tiger."
"Really?" Bai Song was shocked. Tigers are no joke. Although Bengal tigers are not as majestic as Siberian tigers, they are not something that two injured people with no good weapons can easily deal with. "Give me the knife. Your arm is injured and you can't use it. I'll stand in front."
“People who have never used a knife won’t be able to use it well,” Ma Zhiyuan said, “I think you police officers shouldn’t learn how to use a knife.”
"Besides," Ma Zhiyuan looked at his horse distressedly, "If it was a tiger, I would kill the horse."
Bai Song was about to speak when the "thing" in the woods over there appeared.
What came out was not a tiger or a wolf, but two people.
Bai Song saw that they were people and was about to relax, but then he saw at a glance that these two people were the two men who set up the tent!
After confirming their eyes, neither of them moved.
After looking at each other, they knew from the look in Bai Song's eyes that Bai Song must have seen or knew them!
