The woman gently waved the reins behind him, and the horse obediently followed her command and moved forward.
Pei Wen is tall, about 1.8 meters tall, and in a suit, he looks neat and straight. It is really embarrassing and uncomfortable for him to be "carried" by Si Lan, who is 1.7 meters tall.
He couldn't help but ask Si Lan: "Don't you feel awkward?"
Si Lan: "What's wrong?"
"……posture?"
Si Lan answered truthfully: "A little bit."
Pei Wen took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Why don't I do it myself?"
Si Lan: "Why don't you sit in the back."
Pei: “…”
But Si Lan showed no intention of giving in, and Pei Wen really didn't want to be watched by a group of people behind him as a grown man being protected by Si Lan like this.
He had no choice but to give up struggling: "Then come on."
Si Lan had an expression that said "That's right" and gestured for him to sit in the back.
Pei Wen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so he dismounted and moved behind her.
Si Lan said to the people behind her, "I'll take him back first. You guys go slowly."
He glanced at Pei Wen again and said, "Hold on tight, don't fall."
Pei Wen didn't react at first, but when he came to his senses, he was slightly shocked: "Can I hold her?"
Si Lan:?
"Do I have thorns on my body?"
Pei Wenxin said that you are full of thorns inside and out.
After confirming again and again that she was not joking, he pursed his lips, suspecting that she didn't think much of it.
But if you think too much, it won't be her...
Pei Wen sighed silently and put his hand on her waist: "You said it."
Si Lan looked at him in confusion, waved goodbye to the people behind her, and pulled the stick in her hand back: "Go!"
Ma Fei rushed out.
Pei Wen: ???
His hands subconsciously moved from lightly climbing to tightly encircling, and his tone was filled with shock: "Slow down!"
Unfortunately, Si Lan turned a deaf ear to him and in the blink of an eye she had taken him on horseback and disappeared in front of Fang Xun and the others.
Fang Xun and others: "..."
Fan Wenqing looked at the two people riding away in a hurry and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Lan is so cool."
Fang Xun and the others felt full of pity for Pei Wen.
After a while, confirming that not even the sound of horse hooves could be heard ahead, Fang Xun asked Qian Ming, the assistant Pei Wen had left behind, "Is your professor really... so vulnerable to the slightest bump?"
Qian Ming also looked ahead with a puzzled look on his face.
But after hearing Fang Xun's question, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "It is true that he is a bit frail and sickly, which is inconsistent with his image, but..."
He recalled his professor's panicked look and shook his head violently. "I've never seen a professor like that before. Don't ask me. I don't dare to say anything."
Fang Xun: “…”
Later, they walked back slowly, while Si Lan took Pei Wen and rushed back to the camp in more than two hours.
When she returned, everyone in the camp heard the neighing of horses and came out to watch in surprise.
When they saw that it was Si Lan, and Pei Wen was holding her helplessly behind her, everyone was stunned again.
Only a few children who couldn't understand anything saw the horse that Si Lan was riding.
He immediately ran over and said, "Sister, sister! Where did this big white horse come from?!"
Perhaps they were running too fast and there were so many of them that they startled the horses.
The horse neighed and rioted on the spot, trying to break free from Si Lan's restraints!
Pei Wen was startled and subconsciously protected her: "Lanlan!"
Si Lan just frowned, and put her right hand around to support him from behind: "Sit tight." With the other hand, she pulled the reins hard and pulled the horse up!
The horse was restrained by her shackles, with its hind legs supporting the ground, and it circled backwards for a long time under her force.
When it landed again, Si Lan patted the side of its face gently, saying with extreme tenderness: "Shh, be quiet, it's okay."
As she spoke, her hand stroked its head rhythmically. The steady rhythm of her caressing gradually calmed the wild horse, which finally lowered its head submissively, allowing her to stroke it.
Si Lan stopped only after she was sure that it would not get angry again.
The first thing he asked Pei Wen was, "Are you okay?"
Pei Wen was afraid that something might happen to her, and he had already gone through countless roller coaster rides in his mind. He had even thought about what position he would take to cushion her if she fell.
Seeing that she had completely subdued the horse, he let out a barely perceptible sigh.
Seeing her calm expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you still need to learn horse training in the Infinite Flow World?"
Si Lan smiled unhappily and gestured for him to dismount: "You still have to learn this? It's a talent."
Pei Wen: "Really?"
Si Lan, who was just joking: "..."
She didn't answer, but waited for him to go down and then followed him down.
The children behind were also frightened. Until she turned around, they were still hugging each other and trembling in panic.
When Si Lan saw them, even though she wasn't particularly patient with children, she still asked, "Are you okay?"
Several children hesitated and shook their heads helplessly.
Si Lan also told them: "Don't run towards any wild animals. The more excited you are, the more excited they will be. Those that don't eat meat may just charge in recklessly, but if they eat meat, you will be gone."
The children were frightened by her.
She played the villain, and Pei Wen could only play the good guy, comforting them: "It's okay now. Remember to be careful next time. Go back."
Si Lan glanced at him inconspicuously.
Noticing that her expression was not right, Pei Wen asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Lan: "You are so gentle."
Pei Wen: “…”
It's not even one ten-thousandth as gentle as I am to you.
But he couldn't say that.
The two men led their horses towards the big tree on the side of the camp.
Since Fang Xun learned that they would have horses, he looked for residents who were good at carpentry to build a stable.
The stable was only a few steps away from completion, so they could only tie the horses under a tree first.
The residents had just seen the horse out of control, and even if they wanted to go and take a look, they didn't dare to go too close. They just asked a few questions nearby.
When they learned that Fang Xun and others had horses, everyone was extremely excited. They asked Si Lan if it was difficult to learn how to ride a horse, and whether it would be possible for everyone to have one in the future, so that they could go to more distant places to collect resources, and also find a new camp with Fang Xun.
Si Lan thought for a moment and said, "Even if you have a horse, you still need to know how to tame it. Why don't you try to learn first?"
Everyone immediately said: "Okay, sure! Will you teach us?"
Si Lan has taught a lot recently. In the past, in the infinite world, she met many teammates who refused to learn even when taught, and who couldn't learn even when taught, and just wanted to curry favor with others.
When she was first drawn into this game, she was worried that there would be many similar people. However, perhaps because they were all in the same country and were fellow countrymen, the positivity and harmony shown by everyone surprised her.
Then don't be afraid to pass on more experience. No one will throw the baby out with the bathwater, put the cart before the horse, and slow down everyone's progress in vain just to hide a little experience.
That same day she began demonstrating a series of horse trapping and taming techniques to those who were interested.
Everyone gathered around her and listened with great interest.
The construction corps observers who were observing the camp that day were a little fascinated.
Although he couldn't hear anything being said inside, he couldn't see many things clearly because of the uneven flow of time.
However, this did not prevent him from finding these scenes very interesting.
During the night shift, he separated from Chip and took over from the observer who took over. Xiao Wu also asked him: "How is it going? Has there been any progress at Camp A1 today?"
——Because this camp is developing so fast, whenever people mention this camp, they tend to ask if there has been any progress today.
The observer smiled and replied, "Now that we've found the horse, I think we should build a carriage. With a carriage, our efficiency will double."
Xiao Wu: "Sure. This camp is really Hope Star. It changes every day. It's not heavy."
Observer: "The leader is strong."
Xiao Wu: "Professor Pei is really amazing, right?"
When he was mentioned, the observer hesitated.
"Actually, the main leader isn't Professor Pei."
As one of the regular people who mainly observes this camp, he can see that it is not Pei Wen who is leading everyone's development.
"Professor Pei is in charge of guiding our infrastructure team and leading us, but in the game..." He suddenly remembered the scene he had just witnessed: "Hey, does Professor Pei have a girlfriend?"
Xiaowu didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. The topic had gone too far off topic.
"I've never heard of that. Just because someone is rich, good-looking, educated, and has status, does that mean anyone can gossip about their private life?"
Observer: "I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but I feel like Professor Pei and the girl leading the construction in the camp are quite familiar with each other, and they seem to have some kind of relationship."
Xiao Wu scratched his head: "Is this true?"
"...No, you're too nosy. What's the time and the situation? Are you curious about whether someone is in a relationship?"
The observer cried out in injustice: "No!"
"I just think that being able to be with someone like the professor—never mind, let's change the word—get to know and befriend him, what if he's also a big shot in the industry?"
"If they are all powerful, we can investigate their identities and expertise, communicate with them, and perhaps even gain some inspiration. We desperately need effective advice from all sides right now."
Xiaowu pursed his lips and thought: It makes sense.
If the person mentioned by the observer is the one who has been communicating with their infrastructure team using code a while ago and helped Professor Pei set up a communication station, then this person is undoubtedly quite capable and has a complicated identity.
Now they have contacted and registered with all the military and police in the game, but this girl has not provided any information to prove that she is not their official figure.
But she was also proficient in their codes - even though Morse code was now internationally accepted, she was too proficient in it, even more proficient than people like Fang Xun and Professor Pei who had received official training.
More importantly, if she was not an internal staff member of the agency, it would be unlikely for Professor Pei, who was carrying out a secret mission, to get too close to her.
Fang Xun and others would not trust her so much.
The only explanation is that she is the only one who has both the ability and the status.
But what is his identity...
Xiao Wu suddenly asked the observer, "What was her name? Did she give her personal information when she registered for their camp that day?"
Observer: "Si Lan."
But he spoke a little too quickly, and his pronunciation was a little unclear. Xiaowu didn't hear it clearly at all. He frowned and said, "What? Is there a normal person with this name? -Three?"
The author has something to say:
