Zhang Xiaohu helped Zhang Xiaohua onto the horse's back and said with a smile, "This is your first time riding a horse. I'll lead you for two laps first. When you get used to it, we'll continue.
In fact, riding a horse is quite simple. You just need to keep your balance with the horse and then control the reins to let the horse know your intention. These two horses were trained by our Misty School and are very obedient. "
Thus, Zhang Xiaohua sat on the horse's back and let Zhang Xiaohu lead the horse for two laps around the square in front of Huan Xi Manor. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua had ridden a horse before and knew how it felt inside. After Zhang Xiaohu's guidance, he quickly learned how to control it. Zhang Xiaohua had also learned the Levitation Technique. The Levitation Technique was very particular about balance. The Levitation Technique was also very particular about balance. How could the balance on the horse's back be difficult for him?
After familiarizing himself with the horse for two laps, Zhang Xiaohua could slowly trot the horse by himself. After running two laps around the square, Zhang Xiaohu also mounted the horse and said, "Well, Xiaohua, you learn very quickly. Since you have learned it, let's go back quickly."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and agreed. The two turned the horse's head and galloped out of the square of Huan Xi Manor.
At first, Zhang Xiaohua was not quite used to it. It was not only because it was his first time riding a horse and he couldn't grasp the essentials. These skills and movements were becoming more skillful as time passed. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua had always been faster with his hands and feet than his brain. Before Zhang Xiaohua could think, his body had already adapted to the posture on the horse's back. What made Zhang Xiaohua even more uncomfortable was the feeling of riding a tall horse in the middle of the road. That kind of feeling was like a thorn on his back and that kind of feeling that the whole street was looking at him. From time to time, Zhang Xiaohua had to lower his head to check if there was anything wrong with his clothes and riding posture.
This kind of feeling made his mind a mess. He couldn't even hear some of the words that his second brother said to him clearly.
Zhang Xiaohu rode in front and turned back to talk to Zhang Xiaohua. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was absent-minded, he felt strange. He loosened the reins and slowed down the horse until it was level with Zhang Xiaohua. Then he asked, "Xiaohua, are you not feeling well?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked around and said, "No, second brother, it's quite good."
"Then, is it because you have just learned to ride a horse?"
"That's right, Second Brother. I'm sitting so high up on the horse. Everyone on the street is looking at me.
"Hahaha.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu laughed loudly and said, "It's normal, it's normal. Xiaohua, when I first rode a horse, it was the same. I felt like I was the focus of the world. Everyone was looking at me, and I didn't know where to put my hands and feet. But after a long time, I realized that it wasn't like that. Although others were looking at you, they were just looking at you as if you were on the ground. How could it be called attention?
It's just that I'm not used to a new environment. Once you get used to it, you'll understand. If you don't believe me, look at their eyes. They just sweep past you and don't stay on you. "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he really paid attention. Sure enough, they just glanced at him. How could they be looking at him like he was thinking about?
At most, they would be a little surprised when they saw such a handsome horse riding an ordinary young man. Some would only be slightly envious.
Everything was caused by his state of mind!
Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have wiped away some of the dust in his heart. He seemed to have understood something. Then, he laughed and shook the reins of his horse. He whipped the horse's buttocks. The horse felt the pain and quickly galloped away.
This action attracted the disdain of everyone on the street.
However, how could the attention of others leave any trace in Zhang Xiaohua's heart?
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua, the two brothers, rode their horses freely and according to their moods, gradually moving away from Ping Yang City.
Just as they reached the outskirts of the city, Zhang Xiaohu slapped his forehead and said, "Aiyo, Xiaohua, I forgot something."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said, "It can't be, second brother. Don't tell me you didn't ask for the way home?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "That's not it."
"Mm, then you must have left the money you brought home in the house. It's okay, I still have some here."
Zhang Xiaohu still shook his head and said, "I won't forget those. These two days, I was busy cultivating my inner energy and packing my things. I forgot to look for Young Master Li. He even came to our house to visit during the New Year. If we don't pay him a visit when we go back this time, it will be rude."
Zhang Xiaohua felt relieved and said, "I thought it was something serious.
I already went there. Young Master Li is not around. I heard that he went out with Teacher to gather wind. "
"Oh, you went there. That's good." Zhang Xiaohu was relieved this time. However, he immediately asked, "Gathering wind?
What wind?
Are you sure it's not gathering flowers or having a stroke? "
Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "I couldn't tell that second brother has such a sense of humor. Gathering wind is not what you said, which is to collect folk songs and music.
Sigh, only a refined scholar like Young Master Li would go to the fields to observe the customs and compose songs in addition to his studies.
We are just fooling around in the fields every day. How can we have the time to do that? "
Zhang Xiaohu knew that he had misunderstood and said with a smile, "Everyone has their own interests. I wonder how Father, Mother, Brother and Sister-in-law are doing in the Guozhuang House. Let's go. Who cares if they are gathering wind or having a stroke? Let's talk about it when we go back home."
Zhang Xiaohua said, "That's true. However, I have already asked for Young Master Li's house address. When we are free, let's pay him a visit."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Young Master Li treats us very well. Indeed, we should pay him a visit."
When Zhang Xiaohu and his brother came to Ping Yang City two years ago, they were empty-handed and had nothing in front of them. They were looking forward to the road ahead, but more than that, they were ignorant. They sat in the horse carriage and crashed into people in Ping Yang City. Now that they were back home, they felt like they had returned home in glory. They abandoned the horse carriage and sat upright on the tall horses. The scenery along the way was really carefree.
Although Zhang Xiaohua had been an escort before, it was a team after all. This was her first time riding a horse on a long journey alone. There were many differences. For this reason, Zhang Xiaohu had done his homework. Not only did he ask for the route home clearly, he also remembered the things to take note of along the way. However, with his previous experience, these were not difficult. The two of them chatted as they walked. It was not until noon that they saw a small shop by the roadside. The two of them slowed down and prepared to rest.
This was a very ordinary roadside shed, very simple and crude. There were a few thin pillars in front of the shed, and a few inferior horses were randomly tied to it. Under the shed, there were only a few broken tables and a few stools. There were not many people, and they were all too lazy to sit there. When they heard the sound of the horse hooves stopping, they immediately perked up and looked outside.
Zhang Xiaohu jumped off his horse first. He was about to turn around and hold Zhang Xiaohua's horse and carry him down when he saw the inferior horses tied in front of the shed and the people in the shed. He could not help but frown. At this moment, a slick-looking waiter walked out of the shed and asked with a smile, "Sir, are you here for a snack or lunch?"
When Zhang Xiaohu saw this, he immediately said, "No, we don't intend to rest."
After that, he looked back at Zhang Xiaohua and gestured. He led his horse, walked a few steps, and turned over. When Zhang Xiaohua came in front of him, he whispered, "Don't talk. Let's go. We'll rest in the front."
After that, he whipped Zhang Xiaohua's horse. When Zhang Xiaohua's horse started to move, he clamped his legs and followed closely.
When the man saw that the two men had gone far away, he resentfully walked back to the shed. He threw the black towel on his shoulder onto the seat and said, "Boss, this job can't be done anymore. This is already the fourth group of people today. Why didn't they come to eat at our place?"
A fat man with big ears and a fierce appearance came out and shouted, "Nonsense. Look at all of you. Do you look like guests who are passing by to rest?
Can't you show some professionalism? "
Another lazy man opened his mouth and said, "Boss, it's not that we don't want to pretend, but we really don't know how to pretend. If you want us to rob and be bandits, of course we are professionals. But we really can't make such a small shop and wait for people to come and beat them up."
"Yes, boss, don't be angry. Look at the two people just now. Their horses are worth a little money, and their clothes are also ordinary. I guess they don't have much money. Let them go."
"Yes, boss, it's been several days, and no one has come in. Our stick is almost rusty. It's better to rob."
The boss was anxious and said, "Do you think I don't want to? However, the current situation is not right. It's really not suitable for us small fries to go out and make trouble.
Motherf * cker, I don't know what's going on in Xicui Mountain. Since they changed their leader, it was calm for a while. They did their own things and left us a way out. But during this time, they changed their style and harassed everywhere. What integration and expansion? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have to leave our hometown and come here to make a living. "
"Yes, boss, this is the sphere of influence of the Misty School. If we do this and are discovered by others, our lives will be in danger."
"That's right, Boss. My heart has been pounding as well."
Suddenly, the waiter hesitated and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if boss wants to hear it."
The boss was very happy and said, "Tell me."
"If I say it, don't blame me."
"Say it, I won't blame you."
"Boss, I think it's better if we really open a roadside shop. What do you think?"
"Bah, I know you can't come up with any good ideas. You don't want to do such a promising career as robbery. Why do you want to do business in a roadside shop?" As soon as he heard this, the boss was anxious.
The waiter quickly said, "Boss, I'm just saying, just saying."
The boss's face was full of hatred and he swaggered back to the backstage. When his figure disappeared, everyone was slightly relieved. When they were about to continue to collapse on the stool, suddenly, the boss's fat head and big ears appeared again and said, "Haozi, what you said makes a bit of sense. Let's make a plan first and discuss it together in the evening!"
