Chapter 50: An Experienced Horse Knows the Way
The layers of problems in his stomach made him feel a little restless. He got up from the ground with a wry smile on his face and moved stealthily towards the crab next to him.
"Well, Wanjie, I'll just stay aside. I won't delay your business."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already run away a few feet away.
Jiang Wan didn't have the time to chat with him. He quickly packed up the pheasant and brought it back to the fire, thinking about how to set up a wilderness kitchen.
Although I have never actually done this kind of thing, fortunately I have watched a few episodes of a live-action wilderness survival variety show on a certain channel, so I have a certain theoretical foundation.
She was very busy here, but Li Laosi, who was squatting by the stream in the distance, was watching and sighing.
"Alas, my sister is so young, why is she so stubborn?
How great would it be for us to become sworn brothers? You have a brother and I have a sister, and I can even help you get my brother. Isn't this a good deal for both of us?
Why is she staring at me so intently? Oh, this girl is really annoying..."
He lowered his head with a sad look on his face, muttering to himself.
"Although you are really beautiful, I really don't want to marry a mean girl! Isn't it enough for my father to endure this hardship alone? How can he take me with him?"
He moved closer to the water surface sadly, stretched his head to look at the handsome and elegant young man in it, and wanted to cry out to the sky helplessly.
"Oh, it's all my fault for looking so good lately!"
Ruhua, who was strolling over slowly to drink water, saw the two-legged beast lying by the water source and scratched her hooves tiredly.
It's a pity that Ma didn't complain enough, otherwise he would have to say something. This class of bipeds is the worst I've ever seen!
The females compete with the horses for grass, and the males compete with the horses for water.
Is this even possible?
"Whee~Whee~"
Raise your head and neigh to alert the other party.
If you don't give way, I'll step on your hooves.
Li Chengxiu, who had been lying by the water, daydreaming about how handsome he would be, was finally brought back to his senses by the sound of a horse. He turned his head to look at the rather human-like steed and asked in a low, somewhat shameless voice.
"Ruhua, do you think I'm handsome?"
I think you're a little crazy.
The horse wanted to roll his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to these two-legged animals who obviously didn't want to be human. He took a few quick steps, stepped on the stones in the stream and jumped to the other side to drink water.
Li Chengxiu could only continue to lie back at the water's edge, looking at his handsome and elegant appearance as a young man, and straightened his messy hair with a little pride.
Wow, I really have grown better!
Time usually flies when you're busy, even though Jiang Wan didn't produce any particularly good results. Without the right tools and seasonings, you can imagine how indescribable the roast chicken must taste.
But it was cooked food after all. They scraped off the burnt, scorched and blackened parts, and ate the rest to fill their stomachs.
The two people who were not full and satisfied, after washing their hands by the stream, started to communicate with Ruhua Dacongming through various body languages for about half an hour.
After talking and gesturing for a long time, in the end, regardless of whether they understood or not, the two men and the horse went straight back in the direction they had escaped, braving the sun.
At first, the two of them felt embarrassed to sit on the guide. They were counting on Ruhua to lead them home, so how could they not coax her in a gentle manner?
So one of us stayed on either side of the horse, and we took turns saying nice things. After making many big wishes, we were led around by the horse for a long time.
In the last rays of light left by the setting sun, after seeing the familiar pile of pheasant remains by the stream, Jiang Wan domineeringly held up the horse's face with both hands and asked a soul-searching question.
"Tell me the truth, Comrade Ruhua, were you deliberately teasing us, or did you not understand what we were saying to you just now?
I asked you to help me find my way home, not to help me digest my food! Do you understand now? If you do, nod your head."
The horse was very considerate and twisted its neck.
After shaking off the little bastard's claws, it quickly took several steps to the side. The guilty conscience that was already tangible on its face actually made Jiang Wan laugh.
"No wonder my father sent you home from the battlefield to retire at such a young age. After all this time, you didn't injure your legs or feet, but your brain, right?
Admit it, Ruhua, you're also directionally challenged, right? You don't even know the way back, right?
“Whee!”
A proud horse won't tolerate slander! Anyway, I've gotten away with it, I've exacted my revenge, so let's get down to business.
The mixed-haired big blue horse shook its thick hair and barked a few more times with a confident look on its face.
Li Chengxiu, who was already sitting on the ground exhausted, asked weakly.
"What's it planning? It's really vindictive today. How did we really hurt it?"
"How would I know? Do you really think I understand animal language? Get up now!"
"Please let me rest for a while. I really can't walk anymore, Sister Wan."
Jiang Wan took two steps forward, forcefully pulled the man up from the ground, and helped him climb onto the horse's back.
"Get on the horse! It's getting dark. If you're not afraid of becoming a meal for those wild beasts, just sit here and rest. I'm going to leave first!"
"No, sister, I'll go up right away!"
"What are you yelling about? Put your foot on the stirrup and move back. You're squatting on it alone, so where am I supposed to sit?"
"I know, I know. Isn't it moving?"
"Then you better move faster!"
"I know, ouch, you stepped on my foot..."
"Nonsense! How am I supposed to get on the horse without stepping on your foot? When I rushed back to get you, didn't you step on my foot to get on the horse? Didn't I say anything?"
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
The sky was getting darker and darker, and one or two birds would fly over the dense woods from time to time.
There are those guys who like to join in the fun. When they pass by, they think the two bipeds under the tree are quite amusing with their chattering. They will even rest on the branches and listen for a while to relieve their boredom.
Ruhua is indeed a smart guy who understands human nature. After feeling that the two people on her back were sitting firmly, she just spread her hooves and ran madly in the direction she came from.
Although it was already pitch black, it didn't affect the horse's vision at all. Jiang Wan boldly began to ride blindly, choosing to trust the wicked horse under his crotch with a gambler's mentality.
The autumn night wind feels a little cold on my face, and when it blows into my collar, I feel a chill that goes through my body.
Li Chengxiu didn't know if it was fear or he was aware of the girl on horseback ahead of him, but his frail body trembled involuntarily in the wind. He clenched his fists back and forth in the darkness for several times before finally reaching out with all his might to grab the girl.
