Chapter 2220 The Scourge Comes Again

The wind blows snowflakes across the bare ground, the creek freezes, the tops of the cedar trees rustle, and the hard snow particles fly and swirl in the wind.

There was a large herd of wild horses in the white cedar forest, most of these wild horses were brown, maybe they had never been in contact with humans, when Chu Beichen approached them with a sledge, they were not afraid at all.

These horses are tall, their reddish-brown fur is as smooth as silk, their brown fur and tails are black, and there is a docile light in their big bright eyes.

Su Nian got off the sleigh and tentatively approached a wild horse. Chu Beichen was a little worried and called her name behind Su Nian, but the horse didn't run away or panic, instead sticking out its nose as soft as velvet , moved to Su Nian's hand and licked it, exhaling warm breath.

"Oh, Beichen's wild horse is not afraid of people." Su Nian was both surprised and delighted, she thought that the wild horse would run wildly when it saw them, and the horse would be tame only if it was caught with a harness.

Su Nian took out some yellow rock candy and put it in his hand. The wild horse smelled it, stuck out his tongue and licked it, then rolled his tongue, rolled the candy into his mouth, and started chewing.

After chewing the candy, the Mustang couldn't do without Su Nian. It kept pushing Su Nian with its head, as if it wanted more candies.

"Hahaha, I want to coax some horses back with rock candy," Su Nian said, pouring out more candies from the pocket of the fur vest.

Some young ponies smelled the sugar and came over with great interest.

The fur of these ponies is glossy, their manes flap in the wind, their feet are light and their eyes are gentle.

Su Nian quickly tamed five ponies with sugar grains. These ponies didn't even care about the horses, and kept surrounding Su Nian, begging for sugar grains. Seeing that Su Nian's rock sugar had already been distributed , but they still refused to leave.

At this time, the leading horse let out a cry, calling everyone to go on the road, and the horse group began to move towards the distance. They had to rush to the next habitat before the heavy snowstorm came.

However, the ponies around Su Nian didn't seem to notice them, they were like naughty children, they would not leave when they met something delicious and fun.

Seeing the group of horses leave, the five ponies became a little flustered.

At this time, Chu Beichen had already twisted a soft straw rope, wrapped it gently around the pony's neck, and led them home.

Contrary to Su Nian and Chu Beichen's expectations, the other villagers in Huodong Village did not ask for wild horses. They felt that this kind of animal was too expensive to feed in winter.

After bringing back several batches of wild horses, the barn in the yard was not enough.

Fortunately, the barn was built with logs, and one wall could be removed for expansion. Chu Beichen quickly found enough materials.

He has a high prestige in the village now. When everyone heard that he was going to build a barn, they immediately came to help. It only took half a day to expand the original barn by another third.

The barn was extended to accommodate five wild horses.

"You only have one sled. Why do you raise so many horses? You should first think about what to feed them this winter. You can't tear down your cabin and feed them with wood, right?" the bearded village chief found it hard to understand. According to Chu Beichen's behavior, the local residents have become accustomed to using deer to pull the sled, because deer save feed more.

Chu Beichen smiled, "When next spring, you will know the benefits of horses!"

Compared with deer, horses are faster, more powerful, and of course consume more feed.

With wild horses, Chu Beichen and Su Nian hurried to ask Wali's grandfather. The old man wandered around here all year round and knew where to find weeds.

With the guidance of the old man, Su Nian and Chu Beichen ran for several days, and brought back hay as high as a mountain. These hay could no longer be piled into the feed shed, so Chu Beichen had to pile the hay in front of the feed shed. yard.

The haystacks quickly tire as high as the house.

Seeing that the husband and wife are so energetic, the villagers of Huodong Village are a little ashamed. They now understand why the people on the south bank of the Gangwa River are richer. If you have food and drink, you will never go out to hunt.

Day by day, the blizzard has begun to rage, and sometimes it will blow blizzard for three or four days in a row.

What made Su Nian and Chu Beichen feel gratified was that the pastures in the cedar forest area remained bright green throughout the winter, and even though the place where they lived had a violent snowstorm, these pastures only fell small snowflakes.

This is equivalent to leaving a way for nearby residents. When their feed or food is not enough, they only need to rush to the pasture in the snow to collect some food and grass.

This is also the reason why Chu Beichen dared to raise five wild horses.

Su Nian and Chu Beichen thought that winter would be spent peacefully like this, but they were wrong.

During the short gap between two snowstorms, Huo Dong Village once again ushered in a group of uninvited guests. What made everyone feel angry was that the person who led the way for the uninvited guests this time turned out to be Xie Na, the scourge they drove out not long ago. .

Xie Na looked smug, and she was wearing brand new fur clothes, as if she was a little fatter than before.

She looked arrogant, as if she didn't know the villagers of Huodong Village at all.

She pointed to Su Nian and Chu Beichen's hut, and said to the tall black-haired man beside her, "I saw a golden ball at Chu's house, it should be the one you lost."

The black-haired man has a long face and a pair of cold gray eyes. Hearing what Xie Na said, he waved his hand, and the dozen or so people he brought got off the sleigh one after another, ready to rush into Chu Beichen's house to grab things. .

However, Chu Beichen was not easy to provoke, he didn't even need to do it himself now, the black panther had already brought seven or eight dogs to guard the gate of the fence.

Now the panther's children have grown up a bit, but they haven't changed their teeth yet, so now is also the time when the panther is most fierce and has the strongest fighting power.

These dogs are old hunters in the cedar forest. They don't bark at all, they just look out vigilantly with their coats raised. As long as a person is not only allowed to come in, a dog will rush to tear his throat.

However, the people standing outside didn't know the existence of these dogs, they were still walking forward arrogantly, and they already regarded Chu Beichen's collection as their own.

At this time, a large group of villagers with weapons came running from the small road in the village. The leader was the bearded village chief. The bearded village chief once told Chu Beichen that their village was mainly guarded by Ye Xiao. If outsiders break in, Ye Xiao will issue a warning in advance.
