Chapter 145 White-browed Grandpa
Xue Che: "Then let's ask Grandpa Wei."
Su Zhizhi went to talk about this with Wei Dashuan and Qin Xiao.
The two old men thought that since it was boring to travel anyway, they might as well teach them some riding skills on the way, so they agreed immediately:
"good!"
After twelve hours, Xue Che's leg was healed and he could move freely again.
The wind outside is getting colder and colder.
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan also wore furry animal skin hats and animal skin coats. From a distance, they looked like two lonely and skinny animals riding on horses.
They rode on either side of the carriage, and Su Zhizhi and Xue Che each stuck their heads out to the windows on both sides.
Hao Ren sat in the middle wrapped in his winter coat, watching the two children stick their heads out one by one on each side. He had given up on giving any instructions and went to think about something important.
"Before getting on the horse, check the reins and stirrups..." Wei Dashuan was explaining the key points to Xue Che on the left.
"When getting on the horse, you have to pull in the reins, support the saddle with one hand, and step on the stirrup with the front of your left foot..." Qin Xiao walked on the right and taught Su Zhizhi.
One-on-one teaching and live demonstration.
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che were so focused on their studies that they forgot to blink.
Su Zhizhi kept the key points in mind, and when she took a break in the evening, she stepped on a large rock and climbed up and down the horse's back, having a lot of fun.
Xue Che felt itchy and practiced getting on the horse by stepping on the stones.
Both children learned quickly, and after a few days, they were able to ride the horses steadily.
By the time the marching team entered the northwest, Su Zhizhi and Xue Che, who had been riding horses every day, were already able to ride their horses into the wind.
"A-choo! A-choo!"
"A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!"
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che sneezed one after another.
The wind in the northwest is even more biting, blowing on the face like a cold blade.
Qiu Jinyu took out the animal skin masks made for them by the villagers and asked everyone to wear them, and their faces felt much warmer immediately.
Su Zhizhi "provokes" Xue Che while riding on a horse:
"Whoever reaches the foot of the hill first wins."
Xue Che looked in the direction of Su Zhizhi's finger and saw a very high mountain with a white top.
I can't tell whether it is white snow or white clouds.
Xue Che: "Okay."
"Gee!" The two horses rushed out at the same time.
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan also rode their horses to follow behind to ensure the safety of the two children.
Qin Yuan and Captain Zhou, who were walking in the front, only felt a gust of wind passing by them, and then they saw four galloping horses in front of their sight.
"Gee! Go!" Su Zhizhi rushed forward with great momentum.
Xue Che was not willing to fall behind.
The two horses are running side by side.
If you look closely, Su Zhizhi's horse's head is slightly forward.
Just as the winner was about to be decided at the foot of the mountain, suddenly a shadow ran up to them.
"Whoa—" Su Zhizhi and Xue Che quickly reined in their horses.
The horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves, and almost threw the person off its back.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan had already taught Su Zhizhi and Xue Che how to deal with emergencies, and the two children kept their balance on horseback.
The horses stopped in time, but the person in front fell down.
Su Zhizhi: ???
He wasn't hit, so why did he fall down?
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan also dismounted to check:
"What's going on?"
A few people walked to the fallen figure and saw that it was an old man with white eyebrows and beard, wearing a white robe, looking a bit like an immortal.
Judging from his white hair and beard, he should be older than Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan, but his skin is quite rosy, like the old centenarian in the sticker.
The old man fell to the ground with his eyes closed, not moving at all.
Qin Xiao sniffed and breathed: "There's still breath."
He took the old man's pulse again and said, "It doesn't look like he's injured or sick."
Su Zhizhi: "Does Grandpa Leopard know medicine?"
Wei Dashuan mocked him from the side: "His medical skills are only enough to treat common minor ailments. He can't diagnose those with profound internal energy or serious illnesses."
Qin Xiao's medical skills are indeed limited, but they played a big role many years ago when there was a shortage of doctors and medicine on the battlefield.
Later, he insisted on passing on his limited medical skills to his sons and grandsons, so Qin Yuan and Concubine Shu also knew a little bit of medical skills, just a little bit.
Su Zhizhi dragged the old man with white eyebrows halfway up:
"Grandpa fainted, but Leopard Grandpa couldn't diagnose him. He's probably seriously ill. Let's take him back and give Doctor Yu a surprise."
"Doctor Yu will definitely be very happy to see this."
Qin Xiao looked at Su Zhizhi in amazement.
I suspect that if Su Zhizhi had a big pocket, she could put everyone she picked up on the street into her pocket.
Several people worked together to put the white-browed old man on the horse, and then turned back.
The other side.
At the end of the marching team, Qiu Jinyu and Hua Erniang were sitting in a carriage, chatting with each other.
Hua Erniang sincerely asked, "Sister Qiu, how did you convince Pavilion Master Ni to fall in love with you back then? I see Pavilion Master Ni is completely focused on you."
Qiu Jinyu thought for a moment: "I didn't do anything. I just bandaged his wounds, cooked a few meals, and then stole his things."
Hua Erniang studiously took note and began to reflect: "I bandaged his wounds and cooked for him... Is it because I never stole anything from him?"
Qiu Jinyu: "...possibly."
In the carriage at the back sat Song Yu, Doctor Yu, and Ni Tianji.
Doctor Yu is always a man of few words, and he was reading a medical book in his hand.
Apart from talking a lot to Qiu Jinyu, Ni Tianji didn't talk much to others.
Song Yu is a lively person. He used to do business and deal with people outside, so he is very good at talking.
But when he thought of his family who were exiled to the northwest, he felt heavy-hearted and had no mood to talk.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet most of the time.
Ni Tianji is a little different today.
Because Qiu Jinyu gave him an extra steamed bun during breakfast in the morning.
Feel sorry for him.
He was happy and there was a smile in his eyes for the rest of the day.
Ni Tianji was in a good mood and talked a lot, so he took the initiative to start a conversation in the carriage:
"Doctor Yu and Xiao Song are both so young, and they've come out on their own. I wonder where their hometown is?"
Song Yu frowned: "Chang'an."
Doctor Yu didn't even raise his eyes: "Northwest."
Ni Tianji looked at Doctor Yu and asked, "Are you going home to visit your family?"
Doctor Yu replied vaguely, "I guess so."
Ni Tianji: "Did Xiao Song come to the northwest to expand the sales of Black Mountain Ink?"
Song Yu had a complicated expression and uttered, "I guess so."
Now Ni Tianji was silent.
There's nothing more to talk about.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the car.
Su Zhizhi and his companions were getting closer and closer on horseback.
Hua Erniang lifted the curtain and saw that Qin Xiao seemed to be carrying something on his horse's back.
Hua Erniang: "Did they catch some game?"
Qiu Jinyu became excited: "I'll find some barbecue ingredients. Maybe we can have barbecue tonight."
Su Zhizhi and a few others rode their horses closer and went straight to the last carriage.
"Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu, we found an old man who fainted."
When the people in the carriages in front and behind heard Su Zhizhi's voice, they all looked puzzled.
Where would an old man appear in this vast wilderness with few people?
Several people leaned out to look.
"Who is it? Let me see." Doctor Yu also lifted the curtain.
The long wind was whistling through the air.
The hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind.
Doctor Yu leaned out of the carriage and paused when his eyes fell on the white-browed old man on Qin Xiao's horse.
The words he uttered were blown away by the wind:
"Uncle Master?"
When the white-browed old man who had "fainted" on Qin Xiao's horse heard the word "Uncle Master", he immediately looked up and opened his eyes, and happened to meet Doctor Yu's eyes.
The old man with white eyebrows patted the horse's belly excitedly:
"Xiaobai! You're back!"
