Chapter 190: A Horse in Shoes

[ps: The beginning of the previous chapter has been modified, and the world of horseshoes is not there for the time being, so everyone remembers that there is such a thing.] Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info】

Xiaohuan has always been obedient to Li Yi's words, although he was still wondering why his uncle was starving the horse for three days, but what his uncle said was right, and he put the horse grass back.

Liu Ruyi walked in from outside, watched the little maid walk back with the horse grass in her arms, and asked, "Xiaohuan, have you fed the horse?" ”

"Uncle said he would starve it for three days." The little maid shook her head and said.

"Give me the horse grass, you go and get busy." Liu Ruyi took the horse grass from her hand and walked towards the stable.

"Oh."

The little maid responded, looked at the back of her leaving, and said in her heart that Uncle didn't let herself feed the horse, and the second lady wanted to feed it, what if Uncle was unhappy?

Forget it, I still don't want to think about it, let my uncle and the second lady solve this matter by themselves, thinking that her little rabbit has not been fed yet, the little maid shook her head, took some fresh vegetable leaves from the kitchen, and walked to the inner courtyard.

When Liu Ruyi walked into the stable with the horse grass, Li Yizheng was squatting on the soft ground in front of the stable, holding a brush and white paper, as if he was rubbing something.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Li Yi stood up, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Ruyi walking towards this side with Ma Cao.

Li Yi saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with her expression, and it didn't look like she was hiding a weapon in the horse grass, and her heart was a little relieved.

After all, what happened on the horse just now was purely accidental, and it had nothing to do with him at all, although Miss Liu Er had a bad temper, she was not an indiscriminate and unreasonable person, she didn't draw her sword to cut him at that time, and she would probably not retaliate afterwards.

However, just in case, it is better to make sure first, looked at her with a little vigilance, and asked, "What happened just now, I didn't ......"

"Shut up!"

Liu Ruyi pretended to be casual, but she didn't want Li Yi to mention this matter, a trace of shame appeared on her face again, she threw the horse grass into the trough, glared at Li Yi viciously, and turned to leave.

Now Li Yi is finally relieved, it seems that Miss Liu Er really doesn't plan to care about this matter, but her pretty face just now is the first time to see that a generation of heroines has become a shy little girl, and Li Yi is really a little uncomfortable in a short period of time.

In the stable, the crazy horse who bullied the soft and afraid of the hard ate ate the horse grass, and snorted, Li Yi raised his head and glanced at it, this time for the sake of Ruyi's face, let it go first, and next time if he doesn't know what to do, if he doesn't starve it for three days, he won't know how many eyes the horse prince has.

Using white paper and brushes, drawing the horseshoe prints in real size on the soft mud around the stables, and ordering some horseshoes from the blacksmith, although this horse does not give itself much face, it is undeniably a good horse, and it would be a pity if the horse's shoes were worn out.

The blacksmith's craftsmanship was good, and Li Yi told him about his request, and the next day he got four horseshoes.

Out of professional habits, the blacksmith didn't ask Li Yi about the use of these things, he has been a blacksmith for many years, and of course he has to understand the rules of the industry.

The old man held four strange-shaped things in his hands and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, what is this for?" ”

"Horseshoe."

"What's that?" The confusion on the old man's face deepened, "What is a horseshoe?" ”

Listening to the name, this thing seems to have something to do with horses, but the old man has experience in raising horses, and he is no stranger to things related to horses, but he still has never heard of such a thing as a horseshoe.

"It's shoes for horses." There is no horseshoe in this world, and it is no wonder that Lao Fang has no knowledge, Li Yi explained to him.

"What?"

The old man's footsteps stopped suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears, looked at Li Yi and asked, "The horse still needs to wear shoes?" ”

Isn't it a joke that I have lived for decades and only know that people have to wear shoes, and I have never heard that horses also wear shoes?

"It's all the same on the ground, you need to wear shoes, why don't horses?" Li Yi looked at him and asked rhetorically.

The old man wanted to scold a "nonsense", but before the words could be spoken, he held back again.

"Walking barefoot without shoes and grinding your feet, stepping on a stone is also panicking, and the horse doesn't know the pain, what are you doing with shoes?" Lao Fang said confidently.

He was a little skeptical that his uncle had fallen into evil today, and suddenly wanted to put shoes on the horses, and in two days he had the idea of hunting cattle and sheep again.

"You also know that grinding feet, horses can run a lot more than you, and after a long time, the horse's hooves wear out, and the horse should be ruined."

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Uncle, you are doing this too much, that horse is running back and forth in the city and the village every day, and it is only a few miles away, and the grinding horse's paw will grow out again, but, according to this, those war horses in the army are often used, and the speed of the horse's hooves growth is not as fast as the speed ......of grinding off, so it is necessary to wear shoes." ”

Lao Fang understood what Li Yi meant this time, he used to raise horses, and knew that he should use horses in moderation, and tied the horses in the stables all day long, and if he didn't often pull them out to run, the horse's hooves would grow deformed, and if he ran for a long time every day, the horse's hooves would be polished out, and the former would be saved, and the latter would only become a waste horse.

Uncle this method is very good, just now after he reminded him, the old party has understood, this strange thing is afraid to be nailed to the horse's shoe, although the horse at home does not use this method, but if the war horse in the army has this treasure, it will no longer be afraid of the horse's hooves wear out.

After listening to Lao Fang's words, Li Yi was also stunned for a moment, he only remembered that he used to read those time-traveling novels, and the protagonist invented a horseshoe, which could immediately startle those emperor ministers and the like, shouting How could no one have thought of such a simple method before, and it was a reward and an official, he subconsciously thought that all horses should be nailed to the horseshoe, listening to Lao Fang's words, he seemed to be really redundant this time.

However, since the horseshoe has been laid, if the goods are not installed, they are sorry for the few coins of silver paid to the blacksmith.

Two days ago, because this guy lost someone in front of Ruyi, he would let those officials help, tie up this goods, and nail it to the horseshoe......

When Li Yi and Lao Fang went down the mountain this time, they deliberately led the horse down, in order to nail him a horseshoe.

In the open space not far from the entrance of the county government, with the help of the old party, the officials easily put down the horse and tied it up with all four hooves facing the sky.

The huge horse's eyes were full of fear, and he neighed loudly, but his four feet were tied, and there were so many people around him that he couldn't struggle even if he wanted to.

Lao Fang was about to nail the horse's shoe to it according to the method Li Yi said, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

A woman dressed in a fast-catching costume walked this way.
