Chapter 324 Taming the Colt
Tong Huaqiong gasped.
Even though she guessed that the dead person was a scapegoat, her heart was still in turmoil when she heard it with her own ears.
It can be said that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old assassin made his own choice.
What about the kid disguised as a little dragon?
He probably didn't even understand what was happening before he was sacrificed.
"The prince is dead, the grand tutor is dead, and 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 die.
Although this era is not good, she doesn't want to die so early.
"Aunt Tong just now offered to give them a penny for their salvation. I would like to thank you on their behalf." There was no fluctuation in Su Chengmin's voice.
He looked at Xiaolong.
Someone has died for them.
Now he and Xiaolong are completely safe.
As long as you keep your identity secret, you can stay alive forever.
Tong Huaqiong followed Su Chengmin's gaze and said, "Has Xiaolong never shown his true face to anyone?"
Su Chengmin nodded and said, "The grandson of the housekeeper Taifu was born at the same time as Xiaolong. He was brought to the Prince's Mansion since he was born..."
Tong Huaqiong understood that the child chosen from the very beginning was Xiaolong's scapegoat.
A gust of wind blew and hit my body.
Tong Huaqiong felt the biting cold of the autumn wind in the countryside.
Tong Huaqiong sneered at Su Chengmin and said, "I tell you, I saved you just because you are a life. No matter whether Xiaolong is the son of a prince or a beggar, I saved you because of a life. I regard your life as your life, and I also hope that you regard my life and the life of the Gu family as your life. In my eyes, our lives are equally important as yours, and I, Tong Huaqiong, will never exchange 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.
Tong Huaqiong kicked the corn under his feet and said, "Okay, you peel the corn kernels."
Su Chengmin picked up the corn.
Maner and Xiaolong Yaozu saw Su Chengmin peeling corn kernels, and they ran over and handed the peeled corn to Su Chengmin.
"Uncle Lai Fu, Xiaolong said you can train horses. When your leg is healed, help me train the foal." Maner said to Su Chengmin.
Ever since Su Chengmin was named Xiaolong's uncle, all the children in the family now call him Uncle Lai Fu.
Su Chengmin said, "Okay. When my legs can walk normally, I will help you train the horse."
He will have to gradually adapt to the life of a farmer.
Horse training was the only trace of his past life.
"Uncle." Xiaolong still called Su Chengmin his uncle in private. Xiaolong said, "Sister Maner's pony looks a lot like your horse."
Su Chengmin shook his head after hearing this.
Xiaolong said: "It really looks like it."
Xiaolong really wanted Su Chengmin to go see the foal.
However, Su Chengmin had difficulty walking, and Gu Taohua was sitting in the corridor, staring at him while he worked. He was afraid that if he offended this fat girl, he would be scolded by her again.
"Let's bring the foal here for Uncle Lai Fu to see." Maner said.
Maner's proposal was approved by Xiaolong and Yaozu.
The three children swarmed to the stable.
The foal has grown stronger these days and its temper has become more fierce. It doesn't listen to anyone except Maner.
He was even angry with Gu Dahan, who was responsible for feeding him.
"Little Pony, let's go meet Uncle Lai Fu." Maner said.
The foal lowered its head and sniffed Maner's hand, and Maner led it towards the yard.
When the foal saw Su Chengmin, it kicked its hooves and ran towards Su Chengmin from a distance.
She ran to Su Chengmin and rubbed her head against his arm.
Liu Yue'e, who was washing clothes, stood up and exclaimed, "This little colt has no conscience. His family treats him so well, why is he so close to Lai Fu?"
Su Chengmin touched the foal's head carefully, and the foal kept sniffing Su Chengmin's hand.
Tong Huaqiong looked at the foal thoughtfully. It is said that there should be a connection between people, so how come there is a connection between animals and humans?
This little pony ignored even Tong Huaqiong, and sniffed Su Chengmin with a flattering look on his face.
I remember when Gu Dashu bought this foal, the horse seller made up a story, saying that this was the foal of a general's war horse.
Now looking at the relationship between Xiao Maju and Su Chengmin, this statement may be true.
In other words, the foal's mother was Su Chengmin's mount. As for why the foal of the warhorse ended up in the cattle and horse market for people to pick, it was not difficult to understand. His owner was like a stray dog who ended up in Qinghe Bay, let alone his horse.
Su Chengmin only took one glance to realize that the foal was Feixue's child.
Same nose, same eyes, same snow-white body with only a little black on the tip of the tail.
Feixue, the warhorse given to him by his uncle the general, accompanied him at the border for many years and returned to the capital with him. However, she was shot by an arrow while trying to protect him during his escape and eventually disappeared.
Su Chengmin touched the foal, feeling surprised and happy.
Gu Yaozu clapped his hands and said, "Xiaolong is right. Any horse will behave itself when it meets Uncle Laifu."
Gu Yaozu looked envious.
The foal has never given his father a good look since he was bought by him.
Maner said: "Uncle Laifu, the foal doesn't have a name yet, please give him a name."
Su Chengmin thought for a moment and said, "Its fur is all white, like snow, so let's call it Saixue."
Maner stroked the foal and said, "This is a nice name. From now on, you will be called Saixue."
Tong Huaqiong also thinks this name is nice.
Tong Huaqiong said, "Laifu has seen the foal. Maner, you guys can take the foal back to the pen."
Otherwise the foal would poop all over the yard, which would be very troublesome to clean up.
Maner agreed verbally, and took Xiaolong Yaozu to lead the foal back to the pen.
Gu Dahan walked into the yard carrying a basket on his back.
Covered with thorns and grass seeds.
Tong Huaqiong asked, "Where are you from?"
Gu Dahan said, "Man'er's mother got up early and wanted to eat wild jujubes, so I went into the mountains to pick them. Most of the ripe jujubes this year have been picked a long time ago, so I walked a little further and went deep into the mountains to pick them."
Gu Dahan poured the dates into a basin and washed them, looking depressed.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Gu Dahan must have heard a lot of gossip outside.
Tong Huaqiong comforted her stepson, "Don't take what people say outside to heart. As long as you don't care, they will stop talking after a while."
This is the first time Gu Dahan goes out today.
The villagers were extremely curious about him as the person involved in the illegitimate child incident, and they asked him all kinds of questions. He was honest and talkative to begin with, so he was afraid that if he said too much, he would be exposed.
Therefore, Gu Dahan decided to stay away from the crowd in the future, so as to avoid saying the wrong thing and bringing disaster to his family.
Xiaolong came over from the stable and saw Gu Dahan coming back. He shouted happily, "Dad."
Gu Dahan's hands froze as he washed the dates.
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched.
Xiaolong has gotten into the role and can't get out of it.
He quite enjoyed being Gu Dahan's son.
