Chapter 12 A Thousand Miles of Ink and Smoke
Xiao Yi proudly walked on the way back to the Taoist temple, holding a rope in his hand, tethering the caught vegetable thief...... a mud-drewn foal; Ma Liu, who followed behind, knocked the butt of the foal who refused to walk with the stick in his hand from time to time, and the big bull grinned on the side, and there were two rows of big tooth marks on his arms, and all three of them were covered in muddy water......
It took a great deal of effort for the three of them to catch it, and even if they fell into the mud pit of the trap, the foal was still dishonest, kicking and biting, and neighing, even more powerful than the beast; In the end, the three of them jumped into the mud pit together and forcibly used brute force to catch the vegetable thief alive.
In this way, the big cow was accidentally bitten by it; Looking at the foal who still wanted to open his mouth to bite, Xiao Yat once suspected that the little guy they had caught was actually some kind of beast that looked like a horse; Otherwise, how can the average foal be so fierce, opening its mouth to bite people at every turn, and its strength is surprisingly strong, and it can't hold it down with Xiao Yi's divine power.
The 'vegetable thief' was chained to the old jujube tree in the Taoist temple, and the three of them began a three-hall trial to study how to punish the guy who had made them sleep well for several nights.
Sell? β¦β¦ I guess no one dares to buy it!
Leave the grinding and ploughing? β¦β¦ Just kidding, who can tame it!
Put it in? β¦β¦ It's a little unwilling!
In the end, the three people made a preliminary decision to eat a meal of braised horse meat in the evening to improve their diet.
When the foal is one step away from turning into a pot of roasted meat, its fate is twisted by a look.
Listening to the sound of knives sharpening in the kitchen, the foal, who seemed to realize something, pricked up his ears sharply, clamped his tail, began to tremble, and opened a pair of eyes full of fear, helplessness, and pity, while Xiao Yat was looking up and down in confusion, how could such a little thing run as fast as the wind and easily jump over such a high fence wall; So the gaze of the two pairs of eyes collided.
The foal's eyes touched the weakness that Xiao Yi had hidden in his heart, and suddenly crossed over, in a strange world, like this foal far away from the race, far away from his parents, lonely, struggling in this world full of dangers; At this time, the eyes of the two are so similar, they can feel the deep loneliness and loneliness in each other's heartsββββ it's not that I want to be strong and cold, but in this world, I have nothing else to rely on except myself!
Sticking out his tongue and licking Xiao Yi's face, the foal chooses to comfort his equally lonely foe when he is about to turn into braised pork.
(Humanity?) Animal? I think of a true story, a Spanish bullfighter, in the gladiatorial arena suddenly felt unwell, sitting in pain in the gladiatorial arena, then the first to come forward to comfort him, is the bull who had just been stabbed by him covered in blood, in the face of great goodness, the matador cried bitterly, terminated the game, quit the matador career, and from then on, for the rest of his life, did not enter the gladiatorial arena for half a step; Turned into a pious animal protection. οΌ
Xiao Yat's inner defense, which had been armed by layers, finally collapsed, holding the muddy foal, silent tears flowing in the two fragile hearts at the same time.
decisively stopped the atrocities of Da Niu and Ma Liu (the two wanted to cry without tears, the conscience of heaven and earth, and it was the little Taoist priest himself who proposed to eat braised pork); and personally went to bring the best bean cakes, and brought the cabbage heart from the kitchen; So, the later king of horses was bought by a pot of cheap bean cakes and a few cabbage hearts, and signed a lifelong deed of sale.
Looking at the well-fed foal covered in mud, the sympathetic Xiao Yat took the brush and took it to the river below the mountain; In the place where you crossed over, you and the foal to accept the baptism of autumn water, wash away the loneliness and loneliness of the world together, and from then on, you and I will live and die together, and rely on each other!
What Xiao Yi brought out was a dirty, messy, and savage little beast, but what he brought back was a pony with black fur and about a year old.
Gao Li's small ears rotated flexibly, some of which resembled a rabbit-shaped head, its limbs were slender and powerful, and there were a few claw marks of wild beasts on its thin skin, showing that it had experienced great danger, and its full body was full and its steps were light, like a little elf in the mountains, which immediately attracted everyone's attention; Such a wise and mighty foal is rare in the world.
Looking at the foal running around him, Xiao Yi hugged it and said, "In the future, you will follow my brother, my brother will definitely let you eat cabbage heart every day, and I have to give you a name......
In order to give the foal a nice name, all three of them began to desperately turn their brains, "Black Wind? Black Dragon? Black Tiger? Panther? Black...... After vetoing the names that countless Da Niu and Ma Liu came up with, Xiao Yi pulled out countless hairs and killed countless brain cells, and made the final decision: "Since you like to eat cabbage heart so much, I will call you ----- cabbage!" β
looked at the foal hiding in Xiao Yi's arms and nodded repeatedly...... Oh no, it's ...... "Pony Cabbage", and the other two are foaming at the mouth and are thundered to the ground......
In the future, around the mansion of Xiao Yi, the general of Wuchou and Shenwei Tiance, hundreds of acres of Chinese cabbage will inevitably be planted, so the reputation of "Wuchou Hou" who loves to eat cabbage is known to the world, and Xiao Yi only eats cabbage bangzi, not only eats it himself, but also sends a large number of relatives and friends to eat together, as for the cabbage heart, it is thrown out to feed the horses.
In later generations, there has been a debate about which is more nutritious, cabbage heart and cabbage bangzi; The argument in favor of the cabbage bangzi faction is that during the Three Kingdoms period, a large number of Wenchen and military generals of the Wei State ate cabbage only cabbage, and the representative figure was ----- Xiaoyi.
The movement in the courtyard finally woke up the 'Dusty' who was in retreat, and Old Dao walked out of the house, his dark eyes suddenly brightening as he looked at the foal. strode forward and grabbed the foal who wanted to hide behind Yat Shaw; looked at it carefully, touched the horse's head, touched the neck, touched the shoulder blades and ribs, and even raised the pony's hooves to look and see, seeing that the old way was like this, Ma Liu, who was standing on the side, also looked thoughtful.
In the end, Lao Dao, who even touched the pony's buttocks, asked in surprise: "Where did you get such a fetish?" β
Xiao Yi was inexplicable, Ma Liu was thoughtful, so he had to reply from Da Niu: "This thief who stole cabbage was caught by us with a trap."
"Smack! ......" Lao Dao slapped the big bull on the head, the power was so great that Xiao Yi's teeth on the side of the listen were sour;
"Such a divine object has fallen into the hands of a few of you ignorant people, it is simply a tyrannical thing, do you know who it is? Do you know where it came from? β
The three of them hurriedly and honestly stood in a row, looking at Lao Dao with a curious baby's look, waiting for the explanation.
Lao Dao touched the mane of the pony and said: "This horse is produced in the far west, belongs to a kind of sweat and blood horse, this horse grows up, infinitely powerful, intelligent, can be one with the master's mind, and once the Lord is recognized, the swear to death remains unchanged, is the dream of countless battlefield generals; Its name is ---Thousand Miles of Ink Smoke Horse!
After thinking for a while, Lao Dao continued: "In the far west of the country, there is a great Wan country, there is a holy mountain in the country, there is a kind of heavenly horse on the mountain, galloping like flying, pulling mountains and wading like walking on flat ground, manpower cannot be captured; So there are smart people in March and April when the horses are in estrus every year, put the beautiful, young, and divine five-colored mare at the foot of the mountain, lure the king of the Pegasus to come and mate, and then take it back after the mare is pregnant, and give birth to a sweaty and bloody horse; And one of the pure black is it, and the old road refers to the little black foal.
Because the coat color is pure black, galloping like electricity, people can only see the smoke and dust left behind after it runs, so it is named --- Qianli Ink Smoke Pony!
In that year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to Dawan with a golden horse as big as the BMW to exchange but could not get it, and then sent Li Guangli, the general of the second division, to lead the troops to the west twice, with countless casualties, before using force to get this kind of BMW.
Hearing Lao Dao explaining his life experience, "Pony Cabbage" also raised his head high, looking proud! And Xiao Yi and the three of them secretly wiped their cold sweat, fortunately they didn't turn this 'Thousand Miles of Ink Smoke Pony' into a pot of braised pork, otherwise Lao Dao would have to beat the three of them out again, as for beating it out from above or from below, it is unknown......
"Smack! ......" Finally, the 'dusty' old Taoist slapped Xiao Yi on the head: "Cabbage? What a broken name! Such a fetish is given such a name, scoundrel! Scoundrel! You're mad at being a teacher......"
"Song of the Pegasus of the West Pole".
Heavenly horses from the West Pole,
After thousands of miles of virtue,
Bearing the spirit of the majesty descended to foreign countries,
Wading in quicksand and four suits.
The old man turned around and went back to the house to continue his enlightenment while reading the lyrics, leaving an innocent Xiao Yi and a smug colt on the side, "Cabbage!" β
Xiao Yi carefully touched the 'foal cabbage' that was jumping around with his hand, and secretly sighed in his heart, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty version of the 'Rolls-Royce Phantom'......
