My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 217 Horses will also die in romance

   "Huh? Why is there a quarrel ahead?"

  Chen Ling was thinking about his own affairs, when Station Master Li suddenly looked at a place and said.

  Laoba also took a look, and soon laughed: "Hey, interesting, Lao Ma's brush is also in trouble."

Seeing Chen Ling looking at him suspiciously, he continued to explain: "In the mule and horse market, the most taboo thing is to give one animal to two families. That's why there is a quarrel over there. Remember not to do this kind of thing..."

  If one woman does not marry two husbands, one animal cannot be sold to two people.

  Some masters had promised to sell to A in advance, and they were about to trade, but when they heard that B's bid was high, they suddenly regretted it.

   This kind of thing is very inauthentic, and it is also bad when it happens. Once this kind of thing happens, the two sides will easily break out into quarrels, and there are many people who have bad tempers and fight over this matter.

  Chen Ling was listening and nodded again and again.

   After a while, an old man with a lanky goatee wearing a Jiefang hat came over with his hands behind his back, cursing, and occasionally turning around and cursing.

   Laoba laughed and joked when he saw it: "Hey, old horse brush, wasn't you very arrogant when you were an old back, why did you get someone to do it today?"

   "Bah, you old yellow mud, you're making fun of people."

The old man with the goatee glared at Laoba and said angrily, "There are two idiots who don't understand the rules. I'm unlucky today. When I met these two old turtles and grandchildren, they both negotiated a good price and paid a fixed price, so I went to buy it. I bought a new bridle, and when I heard that they were paying 400 yuan more, I wouldn't sell it to me. I had to change it to my temperament a few years ago. I appointed someone to come and fight him. what."

   People who are not familiar with the livestock trade do not understand this.

After a large animal such as a mule and horse is sold, the new owner will give the mule and horse new bridles and new reins.

  This old man with a goatee has gone to buy a new bridle, which means that the owner of the livestock is also sure to sell it to him, not to mention paying the deposit, to this extent, but to regret it, it is indeed very popular.

"Hehe, there are always such unreasonable people. It's useless to be angry. You can only admit that you are unlucky when you meet." Laoba still smiled and didn't care, he was really in this market. I've seen this kind of thing a lot, and I've already gotten used to it.

"Hey, you don't know, how many episodes I have been to from last autumn to this spring, but I couldn't catch my eye. Today I finally got my eye on that horse, and this kind of bad thing happened. "

   The old man with the goatee sighed.

   "Uncle Ma, who did you sell that horse to?" Station Master Li asked.

   "Who else could it be? Old Yang Yu'er from Yangtougou, this old guy has been growing mushrooms for two years, but he has made money, and he is willing to spend four hundred yuan more all of a sudden. He is clamoring for a new carriage..."

  The old man with the goatee was swearing again.

   After a while, he calmed down and noticed Chen Ling.

   "Huh? You're a descendant, you're here to find the old bus again?"

   "Yeah, during the fair, let's go to the mule and horse market with Lao Bage."

Chen Ling smiled at him. This old man is also an old veterinarian in the village. He is from Majia'ao. He likes to keep horses and sells them all year round, so he is also very good at training horses. Pick a good horse seed.

   But unlike Laoba, he never acts as an agent for others, he only buys horses that he likes. In addition, he often comes to help people train horses. After all, this is his hobby.

   After a long time, others called him "Old Horse Brush".

  Chen Ling sometimes passes by Majia'ao and can see a few horses tied outside their house, which is very conspicuous.

  Last time there was a problem with the feed in the village, Lao Ba called a few of them veterinarians together to vaccinate the farm, so we met.

  The old horse brush also appreciates Chen Ling, a junior who is willing to work as a veterinarian.

   "Besides taking you to pick animals, what else can you do with you, old man, let's go, I'll take you to train horses."

   Lao Ma threw the bridle in his hand to Lao Ba, and dragged Chen Ling to the depths of the Mule Market.

   is obviously still a little angry.

   Laoba took the bridle in his hand, smiled helplessly, and followed behind with Station Master Li.

   "Huh? The old horse brush, the little mare you bought?"

   "Buy a fart, run into two unreasonable old turtles and grandsons, and have blood mold."

   "Oh, where are these people, how can they do such a thing..."

   "One in Yangtougou and one in Zhuweiling, they are all small places that don't work. If you want to be such a stingy person, you have already given the money. If you say you regret it, you will regret it."

   Zhuweiling, Majiaao, Niuduzhai and Yangtougou are the four famous villages with Zhu, Ma, Niu and Yang surnames in Changle Township.

   But these four families often look down on each other, saying that one is poor, and that one is not up to par, the villages are close to each other, and there are many conflicts.

  Sometimes, the four villages often fight with each other in order to order medicinal materials, prey, and even the water source on the mountain.

   So under the anger of the old horse brush, it is not surprising that he scolded the two villages together.

   "Okay, old man, don't be angry, don't be angry, this little stallion in my family is still waiting for you to train, let's not talk to those unreasonable general knowledge..."

The main family who want to train horses is a couple, a simple middle-aged couple. They have just sold a mule. At this time, the people who watched the mule sales have just dispersed, and they all came back after listening to the old horse brush here. , circled around their scooter, ready to watch the fun.

  The old horse brush also noticed that everyone was looking at him, so he took a breath and asked, "Is your little stallion still the little stallion you kept at home?"

"Yeah, it's still the same horse, it's growing well and has a good temper, but it's been more than two years in a row, and I'm not very honest in private. When I'm carrying people, I always want to lie down on the mare. There was a lot of trouble, and when he saw the mare, he wouldn’t leave, and he couldn’t even pull it away, and he secretly pulled the reins several times to try to run out…”

  The man of the host brought the little stallion to the people. This little stallion is a small pintail horse, with red and white fur, and the tip of the nose to the top of the forehead is also white, and it looks very beautiful.

  The old horse took a look at the brush and said, "Well, when you are three years old, it is time to train a horse, otherwise it will be difficult in the future."

  A horse will become a complete adult at the age of three or three and a half years old. At this time, the horse is relatively easy to train.

  If you pass the age of three, even if you reach the age of four after another year, it is not something that ordinary people can train, and you have to invite the old man to come over.

   "It's actually quite trainable now. Such a small stallion has a good temper. You can tell by its looks."

   Lao Ma smiled, turned around, and said to Chen Ling and Lao Ba again.

  Laoba nodded: "Indeed, he can pull on the left and drive on the right, and he is not afraid of being born in this time. This little stallion looks good-tempered..."

  Chen Ling followed and looked at it, and his heart was clear.

  The left can be pulled, the right can be driven, and it is not afraid of being born in the present. It is the pattern on the horse.

   Whether it is a red horse or a black horse, there is a white hair on the face that grows from the nose to the top of the head. This kind of horse has the most tame temper.

   And the next thing really confirmed this.

   "Rich, can you ride a horse?"

   asked the old horse brush.

   "Uh, I did when I was a kid, I haven't ridden it in years."

  Chen Ling told the truth.

   "Then do you dare to ride a raw horse?" The old horse brush asked again.

  A raw horse is a horse that has not been trained yet, and it is not easy for anyone to ride it.

  A familiar horse is a horse that has been trained. Some can pull a plow, some can ride a pole, and some are specially designed to be ridden.

  Training horses, most of which are training horses, pay attention to quickly subduing it, successfully riding the saddle and mastering in a short period of time.

   "Dare to dare, just to be afraid of hurting the horse."

   "Good guy, you baby, everyone else is afraid of being hurt by the horse, you are afraid of hurting the horse, your tone is really big."

The old horse brush suddenly couldn't help laughing, pointed at the little stallion and said: "You, don't look at this little stallion is much thinner than those big horses, and it is no bigger than the pack horses in the mountains. In fact, at least seven or eight hundred It's heavy, and you have a lot of energy..."

   "But don't worry, with me watching, I'm sure it won't make him lose his temper, you just ride on it."

"it is good."

   Hearing Chen Ling's agreement, the old horse brush put the liberation cap on his head into his pocket, and shouted to the master, "Then let's start training the horse."

  The main family led the little stallion and followed behind, walking towards the side of the mule and horse market.

  The outside of Luoma City is full of wild fields, you can go out in any direction, and it is very convenient to train horses.

   A group of people quickly led their horses into the field, followed by a group of people watching the fun.

  The old horse brush didn't care about this, and first said to the host: "Put the saddle on first, you can ride up and try for a lap."

   After all, this little stallion was raised by the owner’s family, so let him get acquainted with it before training the horse.

Behind the    is a horse versus a stranger.

  Untrained horses can only be considered thoroughly trained if they can be ridden by strangers.

  The host then saddled the little stallion, and the old horse brushed the horse's reins, attracting the little stallion's attention.

   Waiting for the saddle to be put on, the old horse's brush signaled the host to ride on it.

   However, as soon as the master man got on, the little stallion began to struggle, shaking his head, trying to throw him off.

   "Call, call, call..."

  The owner saw that his little stallion was struggling a bit and shouted again and again.

   But the little stallion didn't listen, and still shook his head frequently, not wanting to let him ride.

   Seeing this, the host hurriedly jumped off his horse.

   "Hey, why did you come down, you can't come down, you haven't trained well yet..." the people watching the lively around shouted.

   At this time, the little stallion noticed something was wrong, pouted his ass, pulled the reins, and confronted the old horse's brush.

   But compared to the big stallion in heat, it is obviously too gentle, and the brush of the old horse is not serious.

   instead smiled and said to the master: "No way, this untrained horse is not allowed to ride, and your master can't do it either. You have to slip it away before letting you ride."

   "How is it? Try again?"

   The host waved his hand and said with a wry smile that he would not try.

   "Oh, I know you can't be ruthless, rich and noble, come quickly, it's your turn to go out."

  The old horse brush beckons.

  Chen Ling stepped forward: "What's the matter, do you just ride up?"

   "Well, just ride on it."

  The old horse brush nodded, and comforted: "This little stallion has a good temper, you don't have to be afraid."

  Chen Lingxin said that I was really not afraid, so he stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse.

   Chen Ling, a stranger, came up, and the little stallion's reaction was much stronger than before.

   shook his head and swayed his tail and struggled non-stop, trying to overturn Chen Ling.

   But for Chen Ling, the strength is actually not great.

   "Don't be afraid, go, follow along, and slowly slip it around first." Lao Ma Shushu shouted, pulling on the reins to help Chen Ling control the direction.

   Then he slowly pulled the little stallion along the field and walked around in circles.

   During this period, the little stallion was still struggling, raised his head, screamed rhythmically, and tried to shake Chen Ling off, but to no avail.

   The main reason is that the struggle is not large. Compared with the big stallion in heat, it is completely pediatric.

   As you can see, this is indeed a mild-tempered foal.

   After slipping around for two laps, he found that Chen Ling was very courageous, and the little stallion struggled and did not change his face, the old horse brushed the reins and handed it to him.

   "Go, run fast and slip it, hold on tight, don't throw you down."

"understood."

  Chen Ling nodded and shouted softly, "Drive."

   The little stallion trotted and trotted. As he ran, he still wanted to throw Chen Ling down. Chen Ling didn't care about it, he just clamped the horse's belly and the reins, and urged him to run faster.

   "Drive, drive, drive..."

  Once it runs fast, it only cares about running, and this little stallion that has just been trained has no intention of throwing people down.

   In addition, it runs fast, and the horse is also comfortable, which will speed up its adaptation to the feeling of human riding.

   However, it is not suitable for all horses. For horses with too strong temper, this trick will not work, and you have to think of other ways.

   "Drive."

Chen Ling is still very unfamiliar with horseback riding. After all, he only rode a few times when he was a child. It was purely for fun, but the little stallion under his crotch ran faster and faster, galloping on the ridge and in the wheat fields, as if the more he ran, the more comfortable he was. .

   At this time, the winter wheat in the wheat field didn't have a pole, and you could go in and step on it. Chen Ling rode a horse and ran back and forth in the field against the cold spring breeze.

   After running for two laps, I gradually became familiar with the feeling of riding a horse. I felt that it was not very enjoyable before, so I continued to run again.

   "Alright, alright, come back soon."

  The old horse brush jumped and waved and shouted.

  Chen Ling pretended not to hear, turned the horse's head, and continued to gallop away on the horse.

   The people watching the lively around couldn't help but burst into laughter.

   Someone followed along and said, "Don't worry about him in the future, go run two more laps."

When Chen Ling came back riding the little stallion in a good mood, the old horse brush immediately stepped forward and snatched the reins, patted him on the shoulder: "You are so addicted, you want to ride a horse and buy a horse yourself, I will follow Laoba help you choose."

   Then he handed the little stallion back to the main house, and the man from the main house couldn't wait to get on the horse and go for a walk.

  Chen Ling saw hehe smiled and knew that this was the urgency of the master's waiting.

  The horse is trained, and people want to ride it.

   "Then I can't ride a horse yet. I'll come to the collection more in the future. When I'm familiar with it, I'll pick a few good horses to buy back."

   "That's okay, let's go, I have to go to the next master's house, don't train horses, go and choose a good stallion for breeding, will you go?"

  Old Ma Brush took the money from the host's mother-in-law, put it in his pocket and said.

Chen Ling shook his head. After riding a horse, he was so addicted to it that he also learned some horse skills. Next, he would be busy with his own business. Anyway, the mule and horse market is open here. the same.

  If Chen Ling didn't go, Lao Ba and Station Master Li naturally wouldn't go either. They had seen many things about the livestock.

   I just didn't expect that when I was walking outside the Luomashi market, I encountered another lively thing.

   is a common livestock fight in the spring mule market.

   In previous years, most of the stallions fought for the mare, but this year is different. The mare fights with the stallion.

   And the mare kicked the stallion to death.

   "Damn it, that big white horse died?"

  Chen Ling was very surprised when he saw the big white horse lying on the ground through the crowd.

   He was deeply impressed by the big white horse, mainly because the big white horse's whip was old, and the estrus period was dishonest.

   It is easy to remind Chen Ling of a dish made with a donkey whip, money and meat.

   At this time, of course he didn't think about money, money and meat, but he couldn't stop sighing in his heart, the horse was tied to the tree just now, and now the mare is dead.

  The crowd was lively, the horse owners on both sides were arguing constantly, and Chen Ling couldn't hear what they were saying.

   stepped on the ox cart and looked inside, only to see the man raising the white horse dragging an old man with a white hood, shouting angrily, the old man was so anxious that the two almost got into a fight.

Next to    there was a blue mare tied to a tree, snorting uneasily.

The    scene can be said to be very hot.

   And Laoba and Station Master Li had already squeezed into the crowd to ask.

The two of them had many acquaintances, and they quickly asked the cause and effect. After coming back, they told Chen Ling that it was the big white horse that encountered a mare passing by, broke free of the reins, ran behind the mare, and squatted up, only to be avoided by the mare several times. , and finally got on the ground, and had already been forcibly matched with the mare. The mare broke free again angrily, and then kicked it to death.

   "How did this get kicked to death?"

  Chen Ling looked at it carefully and was very curious. He really knew little about livestock.

   "The horse's hoof kicked it. That mare weighed more than a thousand pounds and was so powerful. There were horseshoes nailed to its hoofs, and the hooves kicked it on the forehead. It was just a matter of time."

Lao Ba shook his head and said with emotion: "This is a mess today, I don't know that this old Yang Yu'er will not regret it later, the horse he grabbed from the old horse's brush, and now he kicked someone else's stallion to death, now You have to pay a lot of money."

   "Oh? He was the first person in Yangtugou to build a shed to grow mushrooms? Is it his mare?"

   Hearing this, Chen Ling also felt that the world was strange. There was an extra 400 yuan of horses that were snatched up, and it ended up causing trouble. I really don't know what to say.

  Lao Ma Shushu also heard the movement and rushed over, dragging Chen Ling forward to take a look.

   I saw that although this big white horse was dead, it seemed to be grinning with its white teeth and a comfortable face.

   "Good guy, they all say that peony flowers die, and it's romantic to be a ghost, and this horse also died of romance..."

  Chen Ling was immediately amazed, and immediately laughed. It's okay to be kicked to death after being comfortable. He was kicked to death before being comfortable. The male beast in estrus is really unreasonable.

And the old horse's brush was beside him, and he didn't mean to laugh at the man in Yangtougou. He just stared at the green horse next to him and couldn't bear to move away, and muttered in his mouth: "I knew this horse was a good horse, I knew it. , Look at this strong temper, it really makes people like it from the heart."
