father - home

When we got home, Zhao was very tired. I let him rest in the study, and I went to the kitchen with Yu to make dumplings.After a week, Mrs. Reininger is already very familiar with Chinese pastry. She has already prepared the dough for making dumplings and is just waiting for the filling to be mixed.There was Mr. Reininger, who was now in the kitchen whenever he could, and Lily and her brother Bill.There were quite a lot of people in the kitchen, and it was a bit noisy, so I stayed for a while and then exited to visit Zhao in the study.

Going to town this afternoon was too tiring for Zhao. He was lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly. I covered him with a blanket, went to the kitchen to pick up two big watermelons I just brought back from town, and walked to the stables. go.Anyway, I have to look at my silver sword and red rabbit, I haven't seen them for a week.

"Hi! My baby, how are you?"

Yinjian and Chitu had heard my footsteps a long time ago, and stood at the door of the stable, stretching their necks and looking out.

I cut the watermelon into four, took a piece in each hand, took a big bite of the reddest and sweetest part in the center, and then fed them respectively.Yin Jian was elated, and within a few bites, only the watermelon rind was left.The strange thing is that Chitu looked at the watermelon, as if not very interested, and looked up at me.

"What? Chitu, don't you want to eat it?" I put the watermelon under Chitu's mouth, and stroked the fluff on Chitu's forehead with my right hand. There was a twist there, and the fluff spread out.Because the hair is reddish-brown, if you don't twist it carefully, you can't see it. It feels very comfortable and soft.

Chitu sniffed it, and his thick lips touched the watermelon sac, but suddenly shook his head, took a breath, and rubbed against my face.

"Okay, baby, you miss me, I know, I came to see you, and I brought watermelon, eat it quickly!"

I hugged the red rabbit's neck, and suddenly found a corner of its hoof protruding from the wooden door of the stable.I wonder, how could the Chitu stand like this?Shifting all the weight of the body to the right side, the left front leg sticks out and emerges from under the wooden door of the stable, like a person resting.Does it stand like this so I can see its hooves?Is there something wrong with its feet?

I quickly threw the watermelon and opened the wooden door.Sure enough, Chitu was injured!There was a white bandage on the left front leg, one palm wide, the bandage was very thick, and some darker colors were faintly visible, I don't know if it was blood or a plaster.

I bent down to examine Chitu's injury carefully.It actively lifted its left leg cooperatively, resting its hoof on my knee.I kneaded it lightly, and it seemed that the injury was not serious, but it didn't hurt the bones, nor was it in the joints. It should be fine after a few days of rest.

"Okay, baby, are you still hurting? Just bear with it, come on, eat watermelon, eat more, and get better soon."

Just now Chitu was really whining.Now, before the watermelon was brought in front of it, it couldn't wait to get close to it, lowered its head, and gnawed furiously, watermelon juice dripping down its thick lips.

I put the bridle on both the silver sword and the red rabbit, and led them out of the stable.It was almost dusk, and it was a bit late to take them out.I put them in the pen and just play here for a while.

"Tell me, Chitu, how did you get hurt? You must have been naughty. It's okay, it will be fine in a few days. Should you be honest now?" I talked to Chitu and watched it walk carefully. look.It seems that Chitu's wound is really painful, and he no longer walks like usual, and seems to be a little limping, but this is all an illusion, but it can't fool me, it's all pretend, Chitu just wants to Acting like a baby, making a fuss, wanting us to spend more time with it, it is the same as when a child is sick.

I leaned against the wooden fence of the fence, smoking a cigarette.Chitu was beside me, strolling leisurely.I didn't let go of its rein, for fear that it would lose track of form and run along with the silver sword.

In the fence, the silver sword is running and jumping happily. The flowing mane and long tail on the back follow the undulations of the body, reflecting the silver light in the fiery red sunset. The toned muscles, smooth lines, and the shiny silver fur are really beautiful. A perfect picture of strength, passion and hope.

I feel that the adrenaline in my body is increasing, and my heart is surging. If I was not afraid of affecting Chitu's emotions, I would really fly directly on the back of Yinjian-I haven't ridden naked for a long time.To be honest, I don’t like naked riding very much, because I always feel that there is a danger of falling off without a saddle, so I have to clamp my legs tightly to the horse’s belly, which is very tiring and a pain.But now, seeing the silhouette of Silver Sword's crotch in the setting sun, the faint ribs on its back, and the powerful muscles on its neck, I just want to touch them, kiss them, and feel them skin-to-skin.It must be very wonderful, I have never felt it, Zhao once told me, that indescribable feeling, that is the true intimacy between man and horse, life and death, and the feeling of being one.Giving ourselves to the horse under the crotch, to the silver sword, is like handing over to nature, to the universe, it is a complete relaxation, like returning to the womb of the mother, when we grow and mature, we fight against fate, the head When the blood is broken, we need to rely on, rest, and trust.This is the relationship between man and horse, not that you control it, but give yourself to it.Horses are spiritual animals. It seems that all animals except human beings have spirituality, but human beings have lost a lot while trying to get more things, including this mysterious ability to communicate with nature. animals, such as horses.

These are all Zhao told me, he is so obsessed with horses, so cherished.How could he hurt Chitu?Still hiding it from me?Are you afraid that my heart will hurt or you don't want me to know why Chitu was injured?So he didn't come to ask me to ride a horse in the morning, so they arranged to go to the town in the afternoon, all in order not to let me know that Chitu was injured.Why hide it?Besides this, how many other things did Zhao hide from me?By the way, Yu's hand was also injured, is there any connection between them?Looking back on Zhao's performance today, Zhao didn't know that Yu had an injury on his hand beforehand, but after he found out, Zhao also didn't ask Yu the reason for the injury.Then there is only one explanation, that is, Zhao Zhi.It's just that when the accident happened, Zhao didn't pay attention to Yu at all. Zhao's attention was all focused on what he cared more about, which was Chitu—Chitu was injured, and the injury was not serious.

Zhao didn't want me to know that Chitu was injured, because it was caused by Yu.Last time, when Zhao talked about Yin Jian throwing Yu, I once said: Then don’t let Yu ride a horse.At that time, I was worried about Yu's safety and about Zhao's body. There was no major problem with him riding by himself, but it was always worrying to control the horse and take care of Yu's safety.Zhao said it was all right.As a result, something happened now, so Zhao didn't want me to know.

My mind ran wild for a while, and my heart felt comfortable for a while, and panicked for a while.In Zhao's heart, Chitu is more important than jade, so I grinned subconsciously; Chitu was injured because of Yu, and I frowned again; a few days ago, no matter how late I came home, Zhao always waited for me in the study, He chattered and told me the anecdotes of the day, but yesterday, such a big event, he didn't say anything... I took a few puffs of my cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt on the stake.
