Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 124
"Sister Pei, you said that we have all climbed to such a high place. If we cross the river and climb up, it will be even colder. Will there really be horses?" Now that Chunyushan and Ruiyi have made friends, the two After the age of teeth continued, Rui Yi was slightly older than her, so she took one bite at a time and became even more affectionate with Sister Pei.

Rui Yi thought for a while, and then said: "According to the geographical literature, the geographical situation in the mountains is complicated, and there may inevitably be some unexpected situations. I don't dare to say it without seeing it with my own eyes. Just go up and have a look." Now she doesn't know what it looks like above, and what is said in the book must be adapted to local conditions, so she can only go up and have a look.

Ta Gaozhuo heard the words and said: "What the eldest girl said is that it will be even colder if you climb up. We can't stand it here. I'm afraid no one has climbed up. It's better. There are really good horses here. No one else had time to grab it."

In a word, everyone laughed again. Who in Dirong doesn't like good horses, even if there are no real thoroughbred horses on them, even wild horses with strong limbs are fine.Wild horses are also much better than the horses raised in captivity now, and it would be better to have a few more horses.

Everyone finished their meal quickly, and Hu Chiyan first got up and squatted down to the river to check the water depth and the situation of crossing the river.Chunyu Heng followed suit. Rui Yi didn't have much experience in riding a horse across a river, so she didn't want to get involved.

Ban Gaoge came over, looked at Rui Yi and asked, "Do you think we can go up tonight?"

"You seem to be asking the wrong person when you ask me this." Ruiyi laughed, knowing why Ban Gaoge came here to find something to talk about, so he smiled and said: "Ask Shanshan, she understands better, I'll go to Aunt Wei's have a look."

Rui Yi glanced at Ban Gaoge, Ban Gaoge raised his eyebrows at her, she smiled slightly and walked away.

As soon as Aunt Wei finished packing, she saw Rui Yi walking over quickly, and hurriedly said, "Why are you back?"

"General Ban's drunkard's intention is not to drink, but I have to help others." Rui Yi pursed his lips and chuckled.

Aunt Wei rolled her eyes, but she still said: "I see this is not easy, Chunyu's family..."

Rui Yi understood the meaning of these words, Aunt Wei felt that Chunyu's family would not agree to this marriage.Although Di Rong is much more free and casual than Dayan in marriage between men and women, but that only refers to the common people.The higher the status of the family and officials, the marriage is actually similar to Dayan.When the rights reach a certain level, the marriage of children is indeed a convenient and powerful tool that binds each other, and it is the same everywhere.

Rui Yi just smiled and didn't say much when she heard the words, after all, there are some things that she can't express her opinion on, Aunt Wei can talk about it, but she can't.

Aunt Wei might also feel that what she said was inappropriate, so she quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.

Standing here, Rui Yi watched the group of people by the river discussing things, and saw that Hu Chiyan's back was the most eye-catching among the group of people.He is not very strong, but he is slender and well-proportioned and very powerful, like standing out from the crowd.

Xu Shi noticed something, Hu Chiyan suddenly turned around and met Rui Yi's straightforward gaze.

Ruiyi: ...

Does this man have the touch of a wolf?
Hu Chiyan beckoned to Ruiyi, but Ruiyi had no choice but to lift his foot and walked over. After walking a few steps, he heard Chunyuheng say: "It's not dangerous to cross the river. The deepest part of the river is as far as the horse's leg." At the root, the difficulty is that after crossing the river, there is a long section of mountain road that is extremely difficult. And the weather gets colder as you go up, I’m afraid the horses will not be able to bear it.”

Not all horses are very cold-resistant. Fortunately, the horses they selected for this trip are all high-quality, but no one can guarantee that the box will be fine.

Rui Yi approached Hu Chiyan, and asked in a low voice, "What do you need from me?"

"Can you find it if you have nothing to do?"

Rui Yi pursed his lips, this man was getting more and more difficult to talk to, so many people Rui Yi didn't play tricks with him, so he changed the subject and said, "How high can we climb before night falls?"

"It's hard to estimate. It depends on whether the road is good or not. Now it seems that it should be a bit difficult." Hu Chiyan looked down at Ruiyi and said.

Rui Yi nodded and didn't ask any further questions. After Chunyu Heng discussed with Ta Gaozhuo over there, he asked everyone to get ready to start on the road.

After getting ready, everyone waded across the river. As expected, the deepest part of the river was only the horse's legs, but the splashing of the river water easily wetted the shoes.Rui Yi was afraid of the cold, so naturally he couldn't be as fearless as the tough native Di Rong, so he hesitated.

Hu Chiyan got on the horse, stretched out his hand to help Rui Yi up, but this time she let her sit on her side, Rui Yi looked at him, and saw him put her legs on his, and tightened the rein , galloped out and stepped into the river, splashing water everywhere.It was only then that Rui Yi realized that she was sitting sideways with her legs resting on him, the splash of water was blocked by his cloak, and the shoes were not stained with the slightest drop of water.

The river was about seven to eight feet wide, and when the horse waded across, Rui Yi saw that the hem of Hu Chiyan's cloak was soaked, but he didn't care, and rushed to the front like the wind in the blink of an eye.

After crossing the river and reaching the front, Ruiyi resumed his previous sitting posture, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.He can even consider such small things for her. Although the eldest lady loved her, although Jiu Yiniang took care of her, and Ruihua treated her very kindly, they would not think of her so much in such a small matter. .It doesn't really matter whether the shoes are wet or not, they don't care if her shoes are uncomfortable or cold if they are wet, they only think about the big places they can see.

It's the subtleties that tell people's hearts.

Once she asked him a word, why did he treat her so well?

He said there are so many whys.

Think about it, Rui Yi smiled happily against the cold wind.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Even Chidian started to run on such a road, and could only climb up slowly.In the middle of the afternoon, because it was too steep, everyone dismounted and led the horses on foot to reduce the burden on the horses.

Rui Yi panted heavily beside Hu Chiyan, and said as he walked, "Look, there are already traces of grass on the side of the road, although not many, but there are."

Hu Chiyan watched the situation under his feet intently, and said: "You will know when you climb to the top of the mountain."

Listening to Rui Yi's words, everyone became active again, full of strength, and this time they accelerated, and it didn't take long to climb to the top of the mountain. At sunset, everyone stood on the top of the hillside, looking at the new The scene was so breathless, and some people shouted excitedly.

The top of the hillside is no longer the gravel like the valley when they came, but sparse grass as far as the eye can see.The tall weeds have brought new hope to everyone. If such grasses can appear in such a place, is there something that surprises them more in the deeper and higher places ahead?
Climbing up this high slope, the road became a little flatter. Everyone was full of motivation, stepped on their horses and galloped towards the deeper mountains of Chile Mountain.After working hard all the way, when it was getting dark, Rui Yi looked at the map in his hand and said to Hu Chiyan: "We have reached the boundary of Chile Mountain, which is more than nine hundred feet high."

As soon as the words were finished, they turned a mountain pass, and Rui Yi swallowed the words behind him immediately, and what appeared in front of them was a scene of lush greenery.Under the faint afterglow of the setting sun, the whole valley appeared in front of them in new clothes. Ruiyi couldn't express his feelings at this time, grabbed Huchiyan's hand and pointed forward, and said excitedly: "Look, we found it."

All the people appeared at the mouth of the valley, staring at the scene in front of them for a long time speechless.

At the end of this alpine meadow, they had never expected to see such a magnificent herd of horses.In the afterglow of the setting sun, there are a large group of horses running or standing on the meadow.

I thought it would be exciting enough to find one, but I never expected to find such a herd of horses, a herd of wild horses, in the depths of this high mountain.
