Chapter 378 Return
Compared with Wang Pengfei, who obviously lacks social abuse, Ma Guotao is undoubtedly much more tactful and can better understand the situation.
He knew that in such an environment, he would not be able to survive without Zhou Xu.
So the moment I turned around, I heard him calling me boss or leader, without any sense of unfamiliarity.
Zhou Xu didn't dislike this.
Although he was not completely sure what Ma Guotao was thinking, Zhou Xu, who had seen his face plate, knew that he was a good candidate to be a "horse farm owner".
According to Ma Guotao's ability, if you want to survive here, you can only rely on his protection. Your existence itself cannot pose a threat to him.
At the same time, judging from the other party's performance just now, combined with the information before death and his attribute panel, Ma Guotao's enthusiasm should be all on "horses", and he probably doesn't have much interest in other things.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu.
After returning to Tieshan Village, Zhou Xu asked someone to help Ma Guotao settle down first. Although they were fellow time travelers, he had no intention of introducing him to Wang Pengfei.
Because according to his plan, they would leave early tomorrow morning.
Originally, according to Zhou Xu's idea, he had just finished the summoning and must have consumed a lot of energy. He had to rest for a few days and recover before setting off again.
As a result, this summoning unexpectedly did not require much effort.
Then there is no need for him to stay in Tieshan Village any longer. After all, he has already finished everything he came here for.
Ma Guotao will definitely be taken to Caoyuan Village to run a horse farm, while Wang Pengfei will just continue to clean up here.
As it is, for quite a long time to come, these two people probably won't have any interactions, so there's no need to introduce them.
The next morning, Ma Guotao woke up according to his biological clock without anyone calling him.
He has to take care of his beloved horses personally every day, and actually gets up earlier than many workers.
Compared to Wang Pengfei, who was completely unadapted to the life here when he first arrived, Ma Guotao seemed much more at ease, and it seemed that he didn't even need to adapt.
Needless to say, he has a fast pace of life and doesn't eat junk food. To some extent, the food here is actually quite in line with his taste.
"Chief, where are we going now?"
Following Zhou Xu, they left Tieshan Village. After walking for a while, Ma Guotao started a conversation with Zhou Xu in a casual manner.
"Let's go to the grassland. Aren't you eager to see the horse farm over there?"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ma Guotao became excited, and even his steps quickened. It looked like he couldn't wait to get there today.
But that is obviously impossible.
However, Zhou Xu had to admit that although this guy was not particularly good at walking on this kind of mountain road, he was still very good in terms of physical fitness. Looking at his physique before, he knew that he exercised on a daily basis.
Along the way, Zhou Xu walked at a normal pace, and the other party did not show any sign of being unable to keep up.
They must rest for a night in a deserted mountain village on the way.
Looking at Huangshan Village, which was obviously better developed than Tieshan Village, Ma Guotao's eyes were filled with surprise.
He knew that Zhou Xu should own multiple villages. After all, from previous conversations, he already knew that Zhou Xu also had a horse farm on the grassland, which meant that Zhou Xu must have more than one village.
What surprised him was that every aspect of this deserted mountain village was better than the Tieshan Village where he had stayed for a night before!
As a person with entrepreneurial experience, who had built a horse farm by himself and made it a success, Ma Guotao certainly knew how difficult it was to build something from scratch.
In fact, even with the help of money and connections from my family, it was still very difficult.
And what about Zhou Xu? He was in a primitive era where there was nothing!
Although Ma Guotao didn't say it before, deep down he actually had some admiration for Zhou Xu.
Under this premise, according to his idea, the situation in other villages should be similar to that of Tieshan Village.
Who would have thought that the existence of Huangshan Village would suddenly create a gap between it and Tieshan Village.
This made Ma Guotao couldn't help but ask.
"Chief, this village is finally developing better in your village, right?"
“I guess so.”
Zhou Xu nodded.
"Huangshan Village has a special geographical location. Transportation is inconvenient in the mountains. So considering these problems, the scale of the village has been expanded to ensure that they can be self-sufficient when necessary."
After resting for a night in Huangshan Village, they set out again early the next morning. However, after a long journey through mountains and rivers, it could be felt that although Ma Guotao did not complain out loud, his strength had obviously decreased.
After passing through the relatively flat col area and looking at another mountain in front of him, he couldn't help but ask...
"Chief, how far do we have to go?"
"After we cross this barren mountain and reach the post station at the foot of the other side, we can travel on horseback, and our efficiency will be high."
When he heard that he could ride a horse, Ma Guotao felt as if he had been given a new life, as if he had a last burst of vitality.
Compared with the following mountains, Huangshan is relatively small. If they start from Huangshan Village and move quickly, and take a short break at the outpost on the mountainside, they will be able to reach the post station before dark.
Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, Ma Guotao couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw the horses tied up in the stable of the post station and eating grass.
You know, as an avid horse lover, he used to come into contact with horses every day and take care of his beloved horses personally.
But since he was summoned by Zhou Xu, he had been climbing mountains and crossing rivers for several days without touching a horse. He had some symptoms similar to withdrawal reactions, until now! The moment he touched the horses in the stable, he couldn't help but show a hint of intoxication on his face.
"Phew, it feels good."
“…”
Looking at Ma Guotao like this, Zhou Xu felt that there was really no need to worry too much about what this guy might do.
As a horse-loving horse farm owner, Ma Guotao himself has a hobby of riding horses. To a certain extent, his riding skills are more standardized than Zhou Xu's riding skills that he has learned through his own exploration. This has also made their mobility efficiency begin to rise sharply, and they believe that they will reach Salt Lake Village soon.
Meanwhile, the grassland elves that Zhou Xu had previously arranged in Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village were not having an easy time recently...
Update is here, thanks to 'Leonardo D Xinhan' for the reward!
