Chapter 324 Taming the Foal
Tong Huaqiong took a breath.
Although she guessed that the dead person was a scapegoat, her heart was still in turmoil when she heard it with her own ears.
The dead soldier who was sixteen or seventeen years old can be said to be his own choice.
Where is the child disguised as a dragon?
He probably didn't even understand what happened, so he was sacrificed.
"The prince is dead, the tutor is dead, many people are dead." Su Chengmin said.
Tong Huaqiong wanted to cover her ears, she didn't want to hear these secrets.
The more secrets you know, the faster you will die.
Although this era is not good, she doesn't want to die so early.
"Just now, Aunt Tong offered to give them a penny for their salvation. Let me thank you on their behalf." There was no fluctuation in Su Chengmin's voice.
He looked at Xiaolong.
Someone has already died for them.
Now he and Xiaolong are completely safe.
As long as you remain anonymous, you can live forever.
Tong Huaqiong followed Su Chengmin's gaze and said, "Has Xiaolong never shown his true face to others?"
Su Chengmin nodded and said, "The grandson of Taifu's housekeeper was born at the same time as Xiaolong. He has been hugged since he was born. To the Prince's Mansion"
Tong Huaqiong understood that the child chosen from the beginning was Xiaolong's scapegoat.
A gust of wind hit me.
Tong Huaqiong felt the biting coldness of the autumn wind in the countryside.
Tong Huaqiong sneered and said to Su Chengmin: "Let me tell you, I save you just because you have a life. Regardless of whether Xiaolong is the son of a prince or a beggar, I save you because of a life. I regard your life as my life, I also hope that you will take the fate of me and the Gu family into consideration. In my eyes, our lives are equally important as yours. I, Tong Huaqiong, will never trade our lives for yours."
Su Chengmin looked at Tong Huaqiong, nodded for a long time and said, "I know! ”
Su Chengmin thought Aunt Tong still didn’t understand him.
If he could, he would rather die by himself.
Tong Huaqiong kicked the corn under his feet and said, "Okay, you can take off the corn kernels."
Su Chengmin picked up the corn.
Seeing Su Chengmin peeling corn kernels, Man'er and Xiaolong Yaozu ran over and handed the peeled corn to Su Chengmin.
"Uncle Laifu, Xiaolong said that you can train horses. When your legs are healed, you can help me train the foal." Man'er said to Su Chengmin.
Since Su Chengmin was named Xiaolong’s uncle, the children in the family now call him Uncle Laifu.
Su Chengmin said: "Okay. When my legs can walk normally, I will help you train the horse."
He will gradually adapt to the life of a farmer in the future.
Training horses is the only imprint of his life that is related to his past life.
"Cousin." Xiaolong still called Su Chengmin his cousin in private. Xiaolong said, "Sister Maner's pony is very similar to your horse."
Su Chengmin shook his head after hearing this. .
Xiaolong said: "It's really similar."
Xiaolong really wanted Su Chengmin to see Little Pony.
However, Su Chengmin had difficulty walking with his legs, and Gu Taohua was sitting on the porch staring at him while he was working. He was afraid that he would offend this fat girl and be scolded by her.
"Let's bring the little pony to Uncle Laifu to see." Man'er said.
Man'er's proposal was approved by Xiaolong and Yaozu.
The three children swarmed to the horse pen.
The foal has grown stronger in the past few days, and its temper has become fiercer. It doesn't listen to anyone except Man'er.
Even Gu Dahan, who was responsible for feeding him, was not angry. "Little Pony, let's go meet Uncle Laifu." Man'er said.
The little pony lowered its head and sniffed Man'er's hand, and Man'er led it towards the yard.
When the little pony saw Su Chengmin, he kicked his hoofs and ran towards Su Chengmin.
He ran to Su Chengmin and rubbed his head against his arm.
Liu Yue'e, who was rubbing her clothes, stood up and exclaimed: "This little pony has no conscience. His family is so kind to him, so why is he so close to Laifu?"
Su Chengmin touched the little pony's head seriously, and the little pony couldn't help sniffing Su Chengmin's hand.
Tong Huaqiong looked at Xiao Pony thoughtfully, they all say that there must be fate between people, but how come there is fate between animals and people?
This little pony didn't even pay attention to her, Tong Huaqiong, and actually sniffed Su Chengmin with a flattering look on her face.
I remember that when Gu Dashu bought this colt, the horse seller made up a story, saying that it was the offspring of a certain general's war horse.
Looking at the relationship between Xiao Pony and Su Chengmin, this theory may be true.
In other words, the foal's mother is Su Chengmin's mount. It is not difficult to understand why the war horse's cub ended up in the cattle and horse market for people to choose from. His owners were like bereaved dogs and ended up in Qinghe Bay. What's more, Not to mention his horse.
Su Chengmin only took one look and realized that the little pony was Feixue's child.
The same nose, the same eyes, the same white body with only a little black on the tip of the tail.
Feixue, the war horse given to him by his uncle the general, stayed with him at the border for many years and accompanied him back to the capital. However, he was shot by an arrow to cover him during his escape and disappeared.
Su Chengmin was surprised and happy when he touched the foal.
Gu Yaozu clapped his hands and said, "Xiaolong is right, any horse will be honest when meeting Uncle Laifu."
Gu Yaozu looked envious.
The little pony has never given him a good look since his father bought him back.
Man'er said: "Uncle Laifu, the little pony doesn't have a name yet. Give him a name."
Su Chengmin thought for a while and said: "The fur all over its body is white, like snow. , let’s call it Sai Xue.”
Man’er touched the pony and said, “This is a nice name. You will be called Sai Xue from now on.”
Tong Huaqiong also thinks this name is nice.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Laifu has seen the foal, Man'er, please lead the foal back into the circle."
Otherwise, the foal will poop all over the yard, which will be very troublesome to clean up.
Man'er promised, leading Xiaolong Yaozu to lead the foal into the circle again.
Gu Dahan walked into the yard carrying a basket on his back.
The whole body is covered with thorns and grass seeds.
Tong Huaqiong asked: "Where are you from?"
Gu Dahan said: "Man'er mother got up early and wanted to eat wild wild jujubes, so I went into the mountains to pick jujubes. This year's jujubes were almost ripe and had already been picked. I walked a little further and went deep into the mountains to pick them. ”
Gu Dahan poured the dates into the basin to wash them, with a dull look on his face.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Gu Dahan must have heard a lot of gossip outside.
Tong Huaqiong comforted her stepson and said, "Don't take it to heart what is said outside. As long as you don't care, what they say will be boring, so if it's boring, stop talking."
Gu Dahan went out for the first time today.
The people in the village were extremely curious about him, the person involved in the illegitimate child incident, and they grabbed him and asked him questions. He was always clumsy and honest, and he was afraid that he would reveal his secrets if he talked too much.
Therefore, Gu Dahan decided not to get into the crowd in the future, so as not to say the wrong thing and bring disaster to his family.
Xiaolong walked over from the horse pen and saw Gu Dahan coming back, and shouted happily: "Dad."
Gu Dahan's hand washing the dates froze.
Tong Huaqiong’s mouth twitched.
Xiaolong has entered the role and cannot get out.
He quite enjoyed being Gu Dahan’s son.
