Chapter 131 War Horse Chrysanthemum Green
When it comes to taking care of Yunniang, Xiao An, who has always been well-behaved and obedient, behaves out of character.
Not only does he open his mouth for food and stretch out his hand for clothes, but he even loses his temper like never before.
For no reason, he punched and kicked Yunniang, yelling, "Get out! Leave it alone!"
It's like a child taking out his anger on his mother who abandoned him.
Every time, Yunniang just hugged him without saying a word, and let him fight with tears streaming down her face.
This situation lasted for five days before it ended after Xiao An burst into tears.
In his eleven years of life, he had no idea what this thing called "maternal love" that suddenly appeared in his life was.
Fortunately, he has always been obedient, and under the guidance of Song Liyun and Song Zhenping, he gradually accepted the meticulous care of strangers.
Heijin also took advantage of his injury to get some maternal love.
Yunniang was also frightened by its ugly monkey face at first.
But she did not see Hei Jin when he was healthy. She only saw the big monkey lying in the quilt, "dying and pitiful", so weak that there was no harm at all.
Xiao An had to climb up and down to take care of it, so he took over and fed it water and food.
Heijin is the best at observing people's words and expressions, and is the least afraid of embarrassment.
Seeing that Yunniang was willing to take care of herself, she immediately turned into a big baby.
By changing the person he cried to every day to Yunniang, he successfully became Yunniang's third son and competed with Xiaoan for favor every day.
It’s just that this son is too ugly and has too much hair, but Yunniang still likes Xiaoan.
After the New Year, the fields and mountains in Suijin Town are still covered with snow.
After Song Zhenping finished tending to the vegetables in the greenhouse, he hurriedly pulled out a chrysanthemum green horse from the corner of the greenhouse in the backyard.
He needed to go to the guard post every day to ask Lin Xiaoqi, who was in charge of the livestock, to check on the horse's injuries and learn how to take care of the horse.
As soon as he went out, he saw some hay on the horse's head and reached out to pick it up.
Ju Qingma obviously disagreed with Song Zhenping as his master.
As soon as Song Zhenping approached, he would kick his hooves and jump around, causing the wound on his front leg, which had just healed, to burst with blood again.
Song Zhenping frantically pulled the reins and played tug-of-war with the horse, shouting, "I won't touch you, don't jump, don't jump!"
White air was coming out of the chrysanthemum-green horse's nose, and its big, unruly eyes stared at Song Zhenping, as if it would kick him to death with one hoof if he dared to get close.
"Brother, I told you, if you want it to be obedient, you need to use a whip!" Song Liyun stood at the door and shouted from a distance.
"No, you can't hit it. It's already injured. Besides, it's not familiar with me. It will be fine later!"
When he heard that the horse was going to be beaten, Song Zhenping quickly pulled the reins and walked away.
Yun'er said she would beat him and she would really beat him. On the day Qingju Ma was sent here by the garrison, he kicked and trampled on the ground and refused to obey and enter the yard.
In the end, he was beaten by Song Liyun.
After being whipped by the vicious Song Liyun, Da Qingju accepted Song Zhenping's kindness.
It only accepts the leash, and it is impossible to touch it like today.
Watching the man and the horse pulling and tugging each other as they walked away awkwardly, Song Liyun shook her head helplessly.
It was a war horse, a proud war horse.
I don’t know what the people in the garrison were thinking, they actually sent horses to Baolinju.
With Song Zhenping's thin body, how could he control a tall horse, and a war horse at that?
Thinking about the fate of Heijin and Xiaoan, Song Liyun decided not to care about it. Maybe Song Zhenping would slowly get along well with Ma.
As for myself... just think about how Ju Qingma would want to bite me when he saw me, so forget it.
I don't know why he doesn't like me like this!
Song Liyun thought angrily.
Han Ming came over carrying a bundle of hay sent by the garrison. Seeing Song Liyun looking at the horses, he smiled and said, "Miss, horses are psychic. As long as the master treats them well and slowly cultivates their temper, they will be obedient in the future."
"I hope so!"
Song Liyun was worried. She didn't think Song Zhenping could tame a warhorse.
Just thinking about that two-meter-tall horse head made her anxious, and she couldn't help but curse at the person who came up with the idea of sending a horse to the Song family: "Idiot!"
Song Liyun had never come into contact with mutant horses before in the apocalypse.
The thing ran too fast and was extremely alert, staying away from human settlements.
Compared to other mutated animals, horses pose little threat to humans.
This chrysanthemum-green horse was delivered by Wang Qi on the third day after the New Year. At that time, there was a deep arrow wound on its front thigh, and it walked with a limp.
They said they were injured in battle, and even after they recovered they could no longer charge or run, and could only do things like pulling carts to get around.
But such horses cannot work as well as large mules that are specially designed for work, and they have to be raised in vain for several months.
If the Song family doesn't want it, there will be only one outcome, and that is to slaughter and eat the meat.
Thinking about the horse meat that Song Liyun sent back from the garrison a few days ago, Song Zhenping accepted it almost without hesitation.
After this horse is well raised, no matter how unable it is to work, it can still be a large animal that can carry things.
He had never dared to imagine that he would have a horse before.
It was because Wang Qi sent the horse that Song Liyun knew the reason why the fire shot up into the sky at Suijin Pass that night.
It turned out that it was not a drill that night, but there were real Di Lu people.
Song Liyun was filled with fear.
If the people in Suijin Town knew that nearly a hundred Di Lu people were attacking the city wall and that there were bandits rioting in the town, everyone in the town would have run away without even putting out the fire.
This includes myself.
Song Liyun said that there were bandits that day and the garrison was attacked from both sides, which was really dangerous.
Wang Qi was unconcerned. "With Suijin Pass here, even twice as many Dilu troops can't get in. We have enough manpower. We only need to send a small team into the town to wipe out the bandits."
"Brother Wang Qi, so you've also made a contribution?"
Hearing that Wang Qi was also killing enemies on the wall that day, Song Zhenping next to him was full of admiration.
Wang Qi said proudly, "Of course, I am also a brave general! That day I killed a Di tribe member and recovered three horses. Brother Zhou will report my military achievements."
At the beginning of the day, he was almost cut in two, but later he stabbed a wall climber to death and went out to the mountains to retrieve three horses.
The gains of the Broken Gold Guards in this battle were not only captured prisoners and heads, but also a large number of horses.
Song Liyun saw the garrison slaughtering horses for meat. There were more than 30 horses that were shot dead on the spot or seriously injured and died. The 50 good horses that were confiscated made the garrison rich overnight.
The battlefield was cleared and the battle report arrived.
The total number of the Suijin Guards is only one hundred people, and they cannot afford to support so many horses.
Only ten horses were left behind, and the rest were sent to Hecheng along with the battle report documents.
In the Xishi Pass camp, Zhao Tinglei looked at the battle report of the Broken Gold Guards and the forty war horses, and could not hide his joy.
Since the beginning of winter, several garrisons have been attacked. Although only Pingliang Fort was lost, it still caused panic among the people.
Especially those bandits who committed crimes everywhere, looted villages and towns, and the government was unable to suppress them. Some people also said that it was the Di Lu people who were mixed in, which made it impossible for the government to fight against them.
Now that the Suijin Guards have killed more than 80 enemies, they are still able to eliminate small gangs of bandits. They should be reported to the court and rewarded.
After reading the battle report, Zhao Yanjiao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, also expressed his happiness and praised the Suijin Guards highly.
After leaving the crowd, he asked his eldest son, "Tell me, why did Yue Lun's tribe go to Suijin Town?"
These two men stayed in Xishi Pass for decades, and their understanding of the Di Lu people may be better than their understanding of their own women.
