Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 10 Horse King
Its daybreak.

A Lu opened his eyes and found that he was actually lying on the ground with his head resting on a grass nest, but his body was not cold, because there was a baby lying in his arms, face sideways, obediently lying on his stomach.

The fire that burned last night has been extinguished, leaving a pile of ashes.

Seeing the scapegoat beside him, he remembered that he fell asleep just like that last night.

He couldn't remember when he put his sister in his arms and slept.

My sister is so soft, a small one, like a small heater.

A Lu looked at the younger sister in his arms, she was sleeping soundly, her chubby face was flattened, and her eyelashes were so long.

A Lu carefully put his sister on the grass nest, and saw two horseshoe marks on the ground in front of him, very deep, A Lu was very puzzled, when he swept the floor yesterday, there seemed to be no traces.

The horse was gone too.

Alu pushed open the door.

Seeing the vast expanse of ice crystals, he was stunned.

The yellow grass on the grass was frozen into clumps, covered with a layer of transparent ice.

The whole grassland is shiny.

it's beautiful.

But there is no horse at the door, the black horse seen last night is like a dream, I don't know if it is real or not.

A Lu closed the door and turned on the fire again. There was still a layer of crust on the bottom of the pot last night. Add some water to boil it, and it was a meal.

"Squeak!" The door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open.

The warmth in the room was instantly blown away by the incoming wind.

The hunchbacked old bus stood at the door like a ghost running out of a dark world.

A Lu was startled.

"Follow me!" the old bus said.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Ah Lu didn't argue, he quickly poured the water from the pot into the wooden bucket containing goat's milk before, carried his sister who hadn't woken up on his back, and went out.

It was very windy and cold outside.

The old bus saw that he carried the child on his back, so he didn't say anything, just kept walking.

Alu followed closely.

There was a clicking sound underfoot.

These frozen grasses looked beautiful, but it was uncomfortable to step on them. Every step I took was like being pricked by ice needles.

Asaka came out.

The whole meadow is glistening and more beautiful.

The hunchback seems to enjoy the scene.

"What's your name?" The old bus suddenly asked.

"Ah Lu, I run fast, they all call me Alu." Ah Lu spoke, and a puff of white smoke came out of his mouth.

The old bus snorted and didn't continue to speak.

He didn't ask Ah Lu the name of the cub behind his back.

On Dry Bones Mountain, such a small cub would not be able to survive.

The two continued to walk, and Ah Lu no longer felt the pain on the soles of his feet. The icicles slowly melted into ice water, and when they stepped on them, there was no crackling sound, but a wet creaking sound.

This feeling is even more uncomfortable.

The old bus didn't ask her sister's name, but Ah Lu suddenly wanted to say it.

In fact, his younger sister hadn't had time to be named yet. His father was dead, and his mother remarried. The younger sister who didn't have a name left, and no one knew about it.

Ah Lu wanted to name his current younger sister.

"My sister's name is Shenyou, and she is blessed by the gods." Not a disaster star, A Lu added in his heart, he stubbornly wanted to give his sister such a name, and she would be fine in the future.

A Lu walked behind the old bus. He didn't hear the old bus's response, so he didn't speak any more. He just walked for a while and adjusted the swaddle on his back. The younger sister seemed to wake up and felt moving.

His legs were cold, but his body was warm, and his sister was hot on his back.

Whenever A Lu adjusted the swaddle on his back, the hunchbacked old man inadvertently slowed down his pace, and when he was done, he walked fast again.

The two walked for a long time.

A Lu was a little curious, but he still didn't see the horse.

The winter came early this year, and the cattle and sheep of the Dabus family came back early. A Lu thought that maybe the horses in the Dry Bones Mountain had also been driven somewhere.

Suddenly heard a booming sound.

It seems that there are thousands of troops coming.

Ah Lu stopped subconsciously.

The old hunchback also stopped.

"The horses in the mountains are very wild, especially the horse king. If you don't pay attention, you will be kicked to death for nothing. Watch it later." The old man explained.

A Lu felt the excitement of the old man, because he spoke very plainly before, but when he talked about horses, he stretched his head forward a little, making his neck very long and his hunchback more obvious.

"Understood, thank you Uncle Ba."

Alu was a very clever young man when he was grazing in Dabus, with a sweet mouth and hard work, but he was too young and brought a sick child with him, so he was thrown out.

When the old bus heard this address, he was stunned.

He has a hunchback and gray hair. He looks like an old man in his 50s. This kid calls him a grandfather, although he is actually less than [-] years old.

The old bus is not tall, about the same size as the half-grown boy Alu, and the two are standing on a slope.

Looking from the back at this moment, the two are surprisingly similar.

The Hunchback is carrying a huge hump.

But Ah Lu was carrying a baby on his back.

There is something behind both of them.

The sun is shining.

The shadows that came out all looked like hunchbacks.

Two similar shadows stretched long on the grass.

A herd of horses appeared.

The first majestic horse stepped over their shadows, and behind it were countless horses galloping past them together.

Ah Lu opened his mouth wide, very surprised.

Seeing the young man's appearance at the moment, the old man finally had a smile on his mouth. He was also like this when he saw so many horses for the first time. He was very surprised. Who would have thought that there would be so many horses in the Dry Bones Mountain.

And Ah Lu was surprised to see so many horses, but what made him open his mouth was the horse king that the old man said could kick people to death. The horse that led the run was the black horse that played with his sister last night. That's right, there was a rotten bag on the horse's head, and A Lu watched his sister's little hand pat it several times.
