Chapter Seven, the horse wrangler, you are mighty and strong

Two people and one horse closely followed behind the herd of horses

He held a rope in his left hand, slapped the black horse's rear with his right palm, twisted his body, and then steadily landed on the horse's back

He tightly clamped his legs around Huey, half of his body protruding out, his waist and abdomen tightening, and his arms bulging with veins, coiling like a green dragon

The black horse was extremely agitated, running faster and faster, beads of sweat oozing from its dark skin. The person on its back was not in a much better condition. This man and horse were locked in a stalemate, galloping across the desolate plains of the western highlands, heading westward towards the horizon where the sun was about to set.

With a whistle from the flying bird, Huey leveraged his strength to once again desperately close the distance to the dark horse

The native wild horses of the North American continent have long been extinct. Later, with the arrival of Europeans, many domesticated horses were "released" onto this continent, similar to the situation they encountered last night.

Let us hasten our journey

The herd of horses that was just drinking water also began to run.

"Chen, look, there are people ahead," said the bird leading the horse, suddenly addressing the two of them.

The black horse grew increasingly furious, wildly twisting its body in an attempt to throw off the person clinging to its back like a parasite.

This horse is exceptionally fierce

"Boss, if things go wrong, we might die here" Sean looked up at the sun overhead, filled with concern

He quickly became engrossed in the picture book, his attention drawn to a pure black horse among the herd, which appeared taller than the other horses beside it

At this moment, it finished drinking a couple of sips of water, raised its head, and impatiently pawed at the ground with its hooves

As he drew closer, he was gradually able to discern the specific appearance of the horse. Its coat was black from top to bottom, and its strong muscles were highlighted by the sunlight, showcasing lines that were truly captivating

The bird is somewhat at a loss: "First, it is best for you to slowly approach him when he is young..."

It didn't even exert its full strength just now

The temperature difference in the mainland wilderness is extremely significant between day and night. Despite the presence of a campfire and jackets, he still felt an overwhelming chill. The bird scratched at some nearby bushes that did not seem so prickly, and only then did the three of them take turns sleeping until dawn

"Are you regretting not holding in that bag of urine from last night?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at the anxious Black man, grinning playfully, "Don't worry, if it really comes to it, you can chew on the grass on the ground."

We only have one chance! The bird, ignoring the dust swirling towards it, said to Chen Jianqiu

Chen Jianqiu's half body was thrown high into the air; he struggled to maintain his balance, but his bottom was still flung off the horse's back

Hello, stop the * picture * book for a moment

You all wait for me here for a moment, eat and drink as you please, I will go and give it a try. Chen Jianqiu crouched down.

He clamped the horse's neck with one arm, and as the rear half of his body touched the ground, he lightly tapped the ground with one foot, akin to a dragonfly skimming the water, and gracefully flipped back onto the horse's back.

They seem to be drinking water, " said the sharp-eyed bird.

Hugh also seemed to be in a temper, as he urged his horse forward at a gallop, seemingly intent on competing with the black horse. However, burdened by the weight of two riders, the black horse suddenly increased its speed, quickly creating a distance from the herd, and the gap between it and the two riders widened further.

It was quite fitting; a gust of wind blew by, and a few clumps of yellow tumbleweeds rolled joyfully past them. The Black man was teased into silence, and due to the color of his skin, no noticeable change could be seen in his expression.

He hid in the bushes, cautiously approaching the herd of horses from the downwind direction.

The three of them continued to walk forward for a long time

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the galloping herd of horses behind the dark horse, fully aware that if he fell to the ground, he would inevitably face the fate of being dragged for hundreds of meters and then trampled to death by the herd.

Ahead appeared a chasm several meters wide. The black horse galloped forward and leaped high over it, landing on the ground that was more than one meter lower than the edge of the chasm.

The lassoer behind him, hetushu.comcom, slowed his breathing, focused intently, assessed the rise and fall of the black horse's body, and once again launched the lasso in his hand

The black horse, feeling pain in its rear, galloped forward with all its might, quickly leaving the herd of horses and the flying birds far behind. Chen Jianqiu clung tightly to the horse's back, his legs gripping its belly, and his hands grasping the mane to prevent himself from being thrown off.

Three individuals walked towards the herd of horses

Let's go, first let's replenish some water

Suddenly, a herd of wild horses appeared within their line of sight

As Chen Jianqiu walked, he observed the situation ahead. Along the way, he also noted the changes in vegetation. The annual rainfall here is quite low, and if there is indeed water ahead, it indicates that they are not far from the Green River.

Last night, the horse was frightened away, taking all the water bags with it, including the one that was originally on their horse, Shalma. Now they are left with only half a bag of water in the hands of the flying bird

The taste of the biscuit is not particularly good, especially in the absence of sufficient moisture.

As the horse approached, it first gradually slowed down, then stopped about one hundred meters away from Sean and the others. The rider on the horse seemed to observe for a moment, then immediately turned the horse around and fled.

Although the Chinese man before me is quite valiant, the sturdy black horse and the book ahead are clearly the leaders of the wild horse herd, and even the most experienced cowboy may not be able to handle them

Sean dashed onto the road, with the birds hurriedly following behind. The two of them stood in the middle of the road, waving their arms and shouting loudly at the horse.

The lasso's speed was faster than the last time, and the dark horse tried to dodge but ended up getting caught tightly.

Yes, I think that black horse looks good

One principle is that you must make it recognize your ability and courage. Wait, you wouldn't want to catch a wild horse right now, would you

Freedom is a precious commodity for any living being; thus, domesticated horses have transformed into wild horses, leading to the formation of new populations.

"Mount up!" The sound of birds flew from behind Chen Jianqiu, accompanied by the swift approach of the same racing steed, the Huey—the mount of the birds.

A rock formation appeared ahead, and the black horse changed its direction while moving at high speed. Chen Jianqiu seized the opportunity and threw out the lasso.

When there was still half a body length between him and the black horse, Chen Jianqiu exerted force with his legs and leaped forward, pouncing towards the black horse

Chen Jianqiu pulled Feiniaos hand and flipped over, landing on the horse.

A bird brought over a lasso: "Wait a moment, lasso the horse's neck."

It suddenly shook its head, and Chen Jianqiu, at the other end of the lasso, felt a tremendous pulling force transmitted through the rope. In an instant, he was unexpectedly dragged off the horse.

Chen, this seems rather difficult... the bird still wanted to say something

Then they discovered a more serious problem

"Then, what about the adult wild horses?" Chen Jianqiu interrupted his words

Yet he still underestimated the vigilance of the wild horses. The black horse sensed the commotion, as if a previously paused film had suddenly pressed the play button, charging out like a bolt of black lightning

Given the perception of those white individuals, along with the appearance of the three of them now, it is likely that they are mostly regarded as a band of robbers blocking the way.

Chen Jianqiu looked into the distance, where a cloud of yellow dust was rising on the road. A passerby was riding a horse along the main road, coming towards them.

Chen Jianqiu had a terrible night of sleep. They chose a sheltered spot at Shiyan to set up a temporary camp, so they would not be crushed to death by falling rocks blown by the wind in the middle of the night

"Please stop causing trouble." Chen Jianqiu walked over, leading the horse.

There is not much water left

"Bird, I would like to ask you a question." Chen Jianqiu pulled over the still looking around Bird and asked, "What is the method of training a horse?"

The black horse, unhurried, turned its head, and the lasso missed its mark.

The bird is somewhat surprised; taming a wild horse is not something that can be accomplished without several years of study. One cannot succeed without falling on their backside ten or so times.
