Chapter 81: Letting Go Of Nothing
The Red Horse galloped to the front of the camel caravan, like a vibrant and melodious flag, bringing joy.
“This horse is really good-looking.”
The people in the caravan looked on with envy.
However, this horse belonged to the City Lord, so even if they envied it, they didn’t dare to want it.
The caravan walked slowly, and Qin Wanwan occasionally looked at the egg in the small bag hanging on her chest.
“Daddy, when will the eagle come out?”
Shang Wuyang: “I don’t know, it will come out when it’s supposed to.”
Keke: “That’s speaking nonsense.”
The man glanced at the bird: “Do you not want the fur on your buttocks anymore?”
Keke: “I’ll shut up.”
Traveling in the desert, it’s not boring with someone accompanying you.
Children always have sudden whims, like suddenly starting to sing a song.
“I have a little donkey, I never ride it…”
Shang Wuyang: What is this song!
Or searching for treasures in the desert.
The short legs ran quickly everywhere looking for things in the desert other than sand.
“Daddy, look, this stone is so pretty.”
Qin Wanwan found a pretty stone, about the size of an adult’s fist, and ran back holding it.
Shang Wuyang glanced at it: “You really found something good.”
It was a stone clustered together like scales.
The one Qin Wanwan picked up was well-shaped.
Many people who love stones are willing to purchase such stones at high prices.
They also call this stone scale stone here.
“It’s a rose stone.”
Keke called out, looking at the stone.
Shang Wuyang took the stone that the little one was holding with both hands: “This is scale stone.”
“Not bad, keep it for yourself.”
Qin Wanwan giggled: “Yay.”
The energy of children is sometimes so astonishing that adults marvel at it.
After picking up the stone, Qin Wanwan ran out to look for treasure again.
Then she caught a desert lizard.
“Daddy, look, a big lizard.”
Shang Wuyang: “…Take it away!”
Daddy doesn’t like it, Qin Wanwan put the lizard down with a little disappointment.
“What about a snake, Daddy, do you like this snake?”
The little one ran back again, this time holding a snake.
The moment they saw the snake, everyone in the caravan’s eyeballs almost popped out.
“Ahhh!!! That’s a venomous snake, highly venomous!”
After a moment of chaos, Qin Wanwan threw the snake away, and the others broke out in cold sweat.
Shang Wuyang clutched his chest: “You, sit on the camel and be honest!”
Qin Wanwan said “Oh”: “That big fat snake isn’t scary at all.”
Shang Wuyang handed Xiao Hei to her: “If you want to play with snakes, you have one right here.”
Really, if she’s allowed to go out again, won’t she find all the poisonous things in this desert!
Qin Wanwan’s energy was vigorous when she was active, but as soon as she sat down, the fatigue hit her.
She yawned, and refused to ride the camel, insisting on Shang Wuyang holding her to sleep.
Shang Wuyang held her and watched her fall asleep almost instantly.
“Being a father is really not easy.”
This daughter of his is bolder than any boy when she’s being fierce.
Finally, after leaving the desert, Shang Wuyang thought this little one would finally settle down.
Who knew that as she rode the horse, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shang Wuyang: …She’s a runaway!
“Go find her.”
He’ll rest for a while.
Shang Wuyang’s poisoned and sickly body was truly tormented by that good daughter.
When they first met, Qin Wanwan’s impression of him was timid and obedient.
Now, she’s a complete little rascal!
They were also nearing the grassland, and Qin Wanwan was happily galloping on Little Red’s horse on the grassland.
Big Goldy was also there; only the few that couldn’t run fast weren’t brought along.
“Big Goldy, there’s a super big rat over there!”
Qin Wanwan saw it, and Big Goldy naturally saw it too, and instantly shot out like an arrow, then bit down on the unescapable rat.
Keke stood on the horse’s head and taught the little one: “Wanwan, that thing is called a marmot. Big Goldy can eat people, but you can’t. That thing is full of viruses, do you understand?”
Qin Wanwan nodded seriously: “I understand.”
Big Goldy was savoring the marmot over there, and after licking the blood from its mouth, it slowly walked over.
In the desert, Big Goldy mostly ate dried meat that was prepared in advance.
Now it could finally eat fresh meat.
But this one plump rat wasn’t enough for it to eat, so after greeting Qin Wanwan, it ran off to find food on its own.
When Shang Wuyang’s people found them, Big Goldy was full, and Qin Wanwan and the Red Horse… had led away the horse raised by a herdsman.
The herdsman was holding his horse and jabbering.
Qin Wanwan could understand what he was saying.
“Your Red Horse is so good, so beautiful. Can you sell it to me as a stud? If it mates with my horse, it will surely give birth to beautiful foals!”
Little Red kicked away the mare that was approaching it with its hoof.
Go away, who wants to breed!
Qin Wanwan: “Little Red doesn’t want to.”
Her Little Red was beautiful and strong, so handsome.
But it hadn’t reached adulthood yet.
Shang Wuyang’s men came over, and after understanding what had happened, they were all amused and speechless.
In the end, the matter naturally didn’t go through. Qin Wanwan, riding Little Red, left under the reluctant gaze of the herdsman and the little mare.
Qin Wanwan didn’t expect a surprise waiting for her upon her return.
“Daddy!”
With a “Daddy,” both heads turned.
That’s right, Xie Chong had also arrived.
“Daddy, Wanwan misses you so much.”
Qin Wanwan got off the horse and threw herself into the man’s arms, her voice full of joy.
Shang Wuyang said sarcastically: “Oh, I brought the person here and completed my mission, should I be going back now?”
Qin Wanwan looked at him: “Father Shang isn’t going back, he wants to be with Wanwan.”
Xie Chong and Qin Wanwan, father and daughter, were reunited after a long separation. The Border Army that came with Xie Chong originally had their eyes on Qin Wanwan, but they were quickly attracted by the incredibly imposing Red Horse.
“My goodness, what kind of horse is this?”
“Is this a blood-sweating horse?”
The sweat dripping from Little Red’s body after running for so long, against the backdrop of its bright red fur, truly looked as bright as blood.
Blood-sweating steeds come in different colors, and this bright red one is extremely rare.
Even in the Tianqi Dynasty of the Central Plains, there was only one blood-sweating steed, and it was black.
Among the most powerful Tartar royalty on the grassland, blood-sweating steeds could be counted on one hand.
Those horses were cherished by the Grassland People.
They never expected to see such a legendary steed today.
“It’s a strong little colt!”
“Where did you get it? Did City Lord Shang buy it?”
Qin Wanwan raised her hand: “Me, me, me, it was Wanwan who bought Little Red for thirty taels.”
“Thirty taels!!!”
For such a precious horse, people would fight over it for a thousand gold.
Shang Wuyang slightly raised his chin with a hint of pride: “The cub has good eyes and good luck. When this horse was bought, its coat was dull and it was emaciated. The villagers who didn’t know its worth used it to pull carts, and it even broke a leg, giving this cub a bargain.”
