"Remember! From now on, you will not be called a bastard, you will be called Wang Kaile!"
Wang Cheng warned the little boy again, fearing that he would call him a bastard again.
"Okay! Master, I've written it down!" Wang Kaile nodded solemnly.
After touching his little head, Wang Cheng suddenly frowned and led him to an inn.
When he came out again, Wang Kaile had put on a new set of clothes, and his face was washed clean. It was a little dark, but his eyes were more spiritual. He was no longer as timid as before, and he dared to take the initiative to speak.
"Master, what are we doing here?" Wang Kaile said with a northwest accent.
Wang Cheng touched his little head and said, "Buy a horse! We can't just walk back like this, right?"
In fact, he had no idea where he was going next.
The master is dead and the entire town of Mixi is destroyed. What's the point of him going back?
Besides, Marquis Ning is arresting him, and the people outside the building are also looking for him. If he goes back, isn't he throwing himself into a trap?
This world is so big that almost everyone has a destination, except him, a stranger.
"Master, I know where to sell horses here." Wang Kaile said as if to show his merit.
"you?"
Wang Cheng smiled and shook his head. He may not know about other places in Ma Tou Town. Horse sellers are everywhere.
"Master, I really know. If you don't believe me, I will take you there!" Wang Kaile took his hand and walked away.
Wang Cheng followed him all the way, turned several corners, and came to an open space.
It's very big, and there are stables with horses everywhere, so you can't even see them at a glance.
There were many people coming in and out, and almost every wave of people led a horse or even a group of horses.
Wang Cheng also saw the hawker who sold horses to them before. It turned out that their horses all came from here.
He immediately realized where he had arrived. This was the real horse trading market.
"Master, there are many, many horses here. I used to come here when I had nothing to eat. As long as I kowtow, the rich people would give me money." Wang Kaile said.
Wang Cheng patted his head habitually. This little guy must have suffered a lot unknown to others.
In his part of the world, he should be in junior high school at this age. Who is not the treasure of the family?
Walking inside, there are signs in front of each stable, such as Qianli Horse Store and Shunfeng Horse Store.
There were people in almost every shop, and no one paid any attention to Wang Cheng when he passed by.
"Good horsemanship!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the racecourse ahead.
I saw a horse as tall as an adult on the racecourse, raising its hooves wantonly. Its fur was all black, as black as ink, and it ran like a gust of wind.
Sitting on the horseback was a young man, twenty-three or four years old, with a tough appearance. His sleeves were all rolled up, revealing two forearms with full lines.
There were no stirrups, no saddle, and no reins. He just grabbed the horse's mane with both hands, and no matter how fast the black horse ran, he could not throw him away.
"Good horse!"
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up. He had heard the old blind man from Lianyunbao talk about the art of horse-reading, and he could tell a little bit about it.
This horse has soft hair, bright color, slender limbs, light steps, well-proportioned body, mighty and powerful, and is a top-grade horse.
What concerned him even more was that the young man on the horse, who was about the same age as him, was really good at equestrian skills. He could sit firmly on the horse with just one pair of legs and one hand, almost becoming one with the black horse underneath him. .
Unlike him, although he can also ride a horse, he can never be as nimble as this person.
This is the strongest equestrian he has ever seen!
After running around the racecourse for more than ten laps, the dark horse finally slowed down.
The young man on the horse clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the black horse stopped in time.
"Okay! Tamed!"
"It's been a few days since this horse came in, and more than a dozen people have been injured by it. It's finally tamed!"
…
Everyone around that scene cheered in unison.
"Old horse! Come out quickly! Your horse has been tamed. You must keep your promise and give this horse away without taking any money!"
At this time, someone shouted into the horse shop.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the horse shop.
He was about fifty years old, dressed in rich brocade clothes, and wearing a tall hat that wealthy locals liked to wear. Before anyone arrived, he had already bowed to everyone.
"Everyone, when did my old horse fail to keep track of his words? Since I said, whoever tames this horse will give it away without taking any money from him!"
The old horse walked to the fence, hugged the young man on the horse and said, "Master, this horse belongs to you!"
"Thank you!" The young man gave the old horse a punch in return.
The old horse waved his hand and said with a smile: "A thousand-mile horse is naturally worthy of a young hero!"
"Is this considered a thousand-mile horse?"
At this moment, a group of people came over, and the leader was dressed like Lao Ma.
He was also about fifty years old, also dressed in rich clothes, and also wearing a high hat that wealthy locals like to wear. The difference was that he was much thinner than Lao Ma, and he had a lot of leprosy on his dark face.
If Lao Ma is a nouveau riche, then this man is more like a rich old man.
"Li Qiansheng from Sitongmadian is here!"
"Hey! Now there's something exciting to watch. These two have been fighting for years, and it looks like they're going to have another fight today!"
…
Many people outside the fence recognized these two people and knew that they had a feud, so they all stayed here to watch the show.
Lao Ma glanced at Li Qiansheng, and then at the group of people following him.
They are very unfamiliar, but each one is dressed in a majestic manner, and one can tell at a glance that they have extraordinary origins.
Come prepared!
Lao Ma snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Li Lezi, you damn young man is so weird here. If you want to make trouble, just draw the line. If I'm afraid, I'm not the son of the father!"
"good!"
Li Qiansheng clapped his palms and said with a smile: "I heard that Lao Ma just got a few BMWs from the west. It just so happens that I also got a few horses. Why don't we compete?"
"Compare! Compete with him!"
"Yes! Old horse! Compare with him! If you are afraid of him, you are a son of a bitch!"
…
Before Lao Ma could say anything, the theatergoers around him started shouting, and they didn't think it was a big deal at all.
"race?"
Wang Cheng also became interested. In the past, this thing could only be watched on TV, and there were too many modern horse racing rules, so the excitement could not be compared to here.
"It's not a horse race, it's a horse fight!" said a middle-aged man standing next to Wang Cheng.
"Douma?" Wang Cheng looked strange.
He had heard of cockfighting, dogfighting, and bullfighting, but he had never heard of horsefighting.
The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Cheng and said, "Is this your first time here?"
"It's indeed my first time here." Wang Cheng had nothing to hide.
The middle-aged man smiled and then explained the rules and details of horse fighting.
After Wang Cheng heard this, he finally understood.
It turns out that horse fighting is different from cock fighting and dog fighting. It is said to be a horse fighting, but in fact it is more of a human fighting.
Each side of the competition has a horse and one person, and one's own people have to tame the other's horse. The one who tames the other's horse first within the specified time is the winner, and the one who tames the other's horse first is the loser.
Of course, in the process of training horses, no one is allowed to use medicine, weapons, or abuse the horses. They can only rely on their hands. Anyone who violates this will be the loser.
While they were still talking, two horses and two people appeared in the racecourse.
The two horses, one green and one red, are not only tall, but also strong, with nothing on them.
As soon as they entered the racecourse, the two horses began to become restless, raising their hooves from time to time.
Coming out of the old horse's side was an elderly gray-haired man, who looked like an old horse trainer.
The person coming out from Li Qiansheng's side was one of the people who came with him, a very tall young man.
"clang!!"
As the referee swung the gong and hit it, the two horses in the field moved at the same time.
The old horse trainer was indeed a veteran. He hugged the horse's neck almost as soon as the gong sounded and quickly turned over on the horse's back.
"good!!!"
Lao Ma and his men immediately clapped their hands and applauded, and others also applauded one after another.
Because this step is very important. If you cannot mount the horse immediately, the horse will run away, and it will be difficult to catch up with it.
How to tame a fierce horse if you can't climb on the horse's back and can't use other methods?
The tall young man led by Li Qiansheng was a step slower, and the horse ran away immediately.
But when he saw this man flashing, leaving an afterimage on the spot, he had already landed on the horse.
"Good skill!"
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded again, this move was enough to show that the opponent was extraordinary.
Even Wang Cheng couldn't help but applaud, because to do this, not only must he be fast, but he must also be able to land steadily on the horse's back when it is running at top speed, and at least he must have superb equestrian skills.
"Interesting! I thought it was Lao Ma who won again this time, but it seems that Mr. Li has been idle for so many days!"
The middle-aged man on the side watched with gusto.
"Master! What are they doing? Aren't they selling horses?" Wang Kaile asked curiously.
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "You can think of them as a performance."
"Performance?"
It was the middle-aged man who spoke. His expression changed slightly, and then he asked with a smile: "My brother's words are quite novel, but do you mean something?"
"I can't say it! If I did, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of here tonight!" Wang Cheng shook his head.
In this world, few people may understand it, but in their place, this kind of thing is a mess.
In fact, this is just a hype, not even a hype, just a gimmick.
For example: a xxx female star and a xxx female star are having sex because of a certain male star or director, and a crowd of fans are watching, and this matter can easily make the headlines.
The final result is often no results and nothing happens, but the economic company's purpose is achieved.
With the help of this hype, the popularity of the two female celebrities immediately increased, avoiding being reduced to the 18th-tier.
Lao Ma and Li Qiansheng seem to be mortal enemies and have been fighting for a long time. However, neither of them has defeated the other for so many years. On the contrary, the two companies' business is booming.
Why?
Notability is on the rise!
Regardless of whether you are here to buy horses or not, anyone who has seen "horse fighting" knows that both families have good horses.
