Dominate the Game of Thrones with Mount and Blade

Chapter 46 Heavy Rain

Arthur looked at the clothes scattered on the ground and felt a little depressed. It seemed that he could only walk next.

But how can a man say no and it won’t work?

In order to reduce the pressure, the horse's luggage was Arthur's change of clothes, which included a silk top and pants to wear in King's Landing.

After all, if you are going to the capital, you still have to maintain some decency.

But these clothes are now lying quietly on the ground, letting the rain get wet.

His personal servant Mei Dan immediately got off his horse and ran over to clean up.

Desmond was walking in front and stopped and turned back to check the situation.

"Whoever is thinner will ride on the same horse as Mr. Arthur." The trainer of Riverrun shouted loudly.

A clever follower immediately responded: "I can, I'm lighter."

Arthur rejected the proposal: "I'd better carry the hammer and Shuoyue. The two together are very heavy, and if they are shared with other horses, they will fall down."

"As for the poor pony, let him lie here."

Arthur still felt a little pity for the horse. When he came ashore, he specially picked a red horse, just to match his family crest of the golden shield and red horse.

"Guys, it looks like you're in trouble, can I help?"

At this moment, an old farmer drove a carriage by. He saw the group of nobles and their entourage standing in the rain and asked aloud.

"Hey, you're here by chance, we need your car." Patrick said cheerfully.

"Draw this lord to your village, take us there too, and give you a silver deer."

The old farmer jumped off the oxcart, walked to the red horse's head that was still foaming, looked at it, raised his head and said: "This horse is just tired and has lost its strength. It can be saved slowly. You have to leave it here." ”

When Arthur heard this, he immediately thought: "Your bullock cart looks very big. Can it pull the horse besides the two of us?"

He was a kind and friendly man who, when circumstances permitted, took care of the animals that served him.

The old farmer looked at the red horse and said hesitantly: "My cart can pull it, but it's hard to get it onto the cart."

Seeing that Arthur intended to take the horse away, Desmond suggested: "Gentlemen, there are twenty of us. Together, we can get this poor thing into the oxcart."

Arthur handed the hammer and the meteorite sword Shuoyue to his servant Mei Dan, then wiped the rainwater from his hands and said, "Do you still need your help? I can carry it up alone."

Seeing that this group of people was very easy-going, the old farmer didn't care about what he said: "It's already this time, Sir, please stop being so showy and let them come together, otherwise it will rain for a long time in vain."

Although Desmond also knew that Arthur was born with supernatural powers, he was not optimistic that he could lift the horse alone. He dismounted and ordered: "It's better for everyone to get on together and dismount to help Mr. Arthur."

The attendants got the order and dismounted one after another.

But Arthur was obviously one step faster.

He squatted next to the red horse, holding one hand under the horse's neck and reaching under the horse's belly with the other.

Then his legs and hands exerted force at the same time, and he suddenly picked up this huge creature, walked a few steps quickly, and slowly placed it on the bullock cart.

Although the bullock cart is large, it can only keep the torso of the red horse on the cart, while the four hooves and the horse's head stick out of the cart board.

The old farmer looked at Arthur blankly, his mouth wide open and speechless.

Desmond and the attendants also widened their eyes. They knew that Arthur was strong, but they did not expect him to be so strong.

This is a strong adult horse, and it was picked up like this.

Is this something that human power can do?

"What are you doing standing around, let's go quickly, we're still wet in the rain!"

Arthur reminded the shocked gang, then took the sledgehammer and Shuo Yue from Mei Dan and jumped to the front of the oxcart.

Everyone also reacted. With emotions such as shock, doubt, admiration, etc., those who should get on the horse got on the horse, those who should get on the car got on the car, and the team set off.

Along the way, even though it was raining, the old farmer continued to express his surprise and admiration.

"Honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed anyone could pick up a horse."

Arthur ignored the old farmer's nonsense and asked, "Does your village have a hotel?"

"A hotel? That's a new thing only found near the King's Road. We only have our own home."

"Then it looks like I'm going to trouble you." Arthur touched his belly and didn't know what delicious food the villagers had.

After they left Harrenhal yesterday morning, they traveled a whole day and night to get here, and they hadn't eaten yet.

According to his own feeling, every time he adds some strength, his appetite will always increase greatly.

And if it’s a day of strenuous exercise, you tend to eat more.

So now he wants to eat something good, beef or mutton is the best, chicken or goose will also work.

Forget about trout, the most common meat for farmers in the riverlands is trout, and he is already tired of eating it.

Add some meat and fry it over low heat, and the pure meaty aroma will make people salivate.

It would be better if there are millet pepper, garlic powder, vinegar or something for dipping.

There is a slight spiciness on the tongue, plus the sourness of the vinegar, combined with the mellow flavor of the meat, hey, it’s delicious!

The rainstorm comes and goes quickly.

Unexpectedly, when they just arrived at the old farmer's village, the rain stopped.

"It's really unlucky." Desmond smoothed his hair.

"New rain washes away old dust, good luck." Although he was soaked all over, Arthur liked the rain quite a lot.

He took out a silver deer from his purse and threw it to the old farmer.

"This is what I promised you. Now go and mobilize your villagers to find us some clean clothes to change into and some meat. We are hungry."

The old farmer had been staring at the silver deer since Arthur took out the money. At this time, he said happily: "Okay, my lord. What kind of meat do you want? There are chickens, sheep, fish, and dogs in the village for you to choose from. They are all freshly killed. The price is based on the market price. What do you think?"

Arthur was very satisfied with this service attitude. "Then kill two lambs and get seven or eight chickens. You can decide on the staple food. Go quickly."

Twenty adult men have a large appetite.

The old farmer drove the ox cart to the center of the village, then jumped off the car to find the village chief.

The others also found a dry place, dismounted and waited.

Arthur moved the red horse down and let it lie more comfortably.

After a while, it was able to open its eyes and its belly rose and fell. It looked like it had recovered well.

"This village is quite rich. There is a circle of stone walls outside, and dozens of households still live in stone houses." Patrick expressed his opinion.

Desmond couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you see whose territory this is? Does the Hean family have the ability to come here to collect taxes? They don't have to pay taxes, so they are naturally rich."

Patrick agreed with this view, and he added, "What's even better is that it's only three or four days' ride from King's Landing, so there's no need to worry about bandits."

Arthur was not in the mood to discuss these things. He was worrying about what he should ride next.

After all, he still had to travel today, and this horse couldn't stand up in a short time.
