Little Life on An American Ranch

After a short rest, the leading man gave Jian Heng a black coarse cloth belt.

After receiving the belt, Jian Heng looked at the leading man with a very strange look, and thought to himself: I walked for half a day without covering my eyes, isn't it a bit late for you to take out the cloth belt now? And with my ability, as far as you guys are concerned, I can come and go whenever I want!

Seeing Jian Heng's puzzled look, the man in the lead said, "Blindfold the horses' eyes, or they won't dare to walk."

"oh oh!"

It was only then that Jian Heng realized that the cloth straps were used to blindfold the horse's eyes, not his own eyes. Turning around, he found that all the men were blindfolded, but they used special blindfolds, and he The side is a piece of black coarse cloth.

After blindfolding the horse's eyes as others said, Jian Heng supported the horse's chin with one hand, and waited for everyone to tidy up, and everyone filed into the gap in the cliff.

The gap was not wide, and after walking about ten meters, there was almost no light. The man in the lead turned on the strong light, and Jian Heng suddenly found that there was a stone step in front of him, and he didn't know how many steps, leading all the way to the top of his head. The slope is very steep, at least fifty or sixty degrees. At this moment, Jian Heng understands why all the horses are blindfolded. Horses may not have the guts to go up such a slope.

"Are you all right?" The leading man led his horse up the stone steps, and when he saw Jian Heng leading his horse up, he turned his head and asked.

"It's okay!" Jian Heng replied.

Jian Heng's horse already had 120% trust in Jian Heng, so he didn't have any negative emotions, and he didn't make any sound except for lifting his foot to try the steps.

Seeing how brave and obedient Jian Heng's horse is, all the men fell in love with this big horse a little bit more. Their horses have been specially trained, and few of them could walk well in the first few times , A cowardly animal like a horse must have fear in his heart if he is blindfolded.

Moreover, fear is also contagious among horses. Once a horse has this condition, it will immediately spread to the whole herd. So when the man came with the horse, the men who followed Jian Heng led the horse and landed at the entrance. Because Jian Heng didn't look back now, he concentrated on climbing his own steps and supporting his horse, so he didn't realize this.

The steps were excavated by hand, and they were excavated some years ago, because such steps are obviously not in line with ergonomics, some are higher and some are shorter, and the gap is still a bit big, as far as Jian Heng is walking now It is said that the largest reached about five centimeters.

This kind of steps has created a lot of troubles for people and horses. The whole horse team seems to be wriggling in the gaps. For Jian Heng, it is the first time to walk such a mountain path, and he feels that his breathing is also rapid. stand up.

Anyway, just looking down at the road like this, there is no time to look ahead, even if he wants to look ahead, Jian Heng is only left with a faint ass two meters away, and the whole process is boring.

I don't know how long it took, when suddenly a bright light appeared above Jian Heng's head, and at the same time, a man's voice came: "Sir, we are almost there."

As soon as Jian Heng raised his head, the front of himself was almost above his head. There was a small square opening, which looked like a patio.

"Then hurry up," Jian Heng said to the leading man.

Just like this, the team went up again, and as the exit got closer and closer, there were only the sound of horses breathing and people panting, and gradually there were a little bit of bird singing, and there was also a little bit of wind sound mixed with the sound of water flow from time to time. Soothing Jian Heng's ears.

When Jian Heng stood at the exit, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.

At this time, Jian Heng stood at the mouth of a cliff less than 50 square meters, with a cliff more than ten feet deep under his feet, and below the cliff was a rushing river, and there was hardly any slow flow on the entire river, it was all white What makes people feel weird is that although the river is rushing, it doesn't make much noise.

On the opposite side of Jian Heng, there is also a cliff, but on the top of the cliff, there is an idyllic scenery, Chinese-style cottages with blue bricks and gray tiles, dozens of randomly dotted on it, hidden among weeping willows and phoenix trees, from time to time There is also a light mist rising from the forest, brushing over the small village, and the small village seems like a fairyland on earth.

"Sir, let's go!" The man in the lead urged Jian Heng lightly.

Jian Heng, who came back to his senses, hummed, and was about to lead his horse and follow the leading man onto the suspension bridge.

"Sir, please wait a moment, wait for my eldest brother to walk halfway, and then you can lead your horse." The man standing behind Jian Heng said quickly.

"Oh, not strong?" Jian Heng asked.

The suspension bridge in front of me looks quite solid, with six or seven iron chains, each of which is as thick as Jian Heng's arm, let alone leaving, it seems that there is no problem with Jian Heng running a light truck.

"No, the draft here has no spectrum. If there is a strong wind, it will be dangerous to put so much weight on the bridge," Hanzi and Jian Heng explained.

Jian Heng asked curiously: "What if you ship the goods from outside?"

The man behind replied: "If it is light, someone will move it. If it is too heavy, it will be dismantled. I have no choice but to not transport the things that cannot be dismantled."

While speaking, the man in the lead had already passed half of the suspension bridge, and the man behind him raised his hand to signal Jian Heng to go on the bridge.

Jian Heng stepped on the bridge carefully, and the further he walked in, the more he could feel the shaking of the bridge. Fortunately, the horse behind him trusted Jian Heng wholeheartedly, so the bridge crossed without much twists and turns. That is, in five minutes, one person and one horse reached the opposite side safely.

"Mr. Jane, let's meet again"

What Jian Heng didn't expect was that Mr. Yao led a group of old men to stand on the bridge, apparently coming to greet him.

Among them, the old man standing in position c has a fat and gray head, pale face, two white eyebrows hanging down to his cheekbones, he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, and he looks like he is over a hundred years old, anyway, he looks like a fairy appearance.

The other few didn't give way too much, they were all dressed in this way, and they went out one by one in this appearance. They would surely be able to set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and ensure a prosperous business.

All the old men are wearing Hanfu with wide sleeves and wide sleeves, and they also wear walking shoes on their feet. Looking around, only Jian Heng is wearing leather shoes. The whole scene looks as if a modern man suddenly appeared in ancient times.

"Sir, this is the suzerain of our sect! The same surname is Yao." Mr. Yao introduced Jian Heng to the old man who stood in the c position.

"Hello, Mr. Yao." Jian Heng was thinking about what to do, shaking hands was a little awkward, but after thinking about it, he thought it was better to clasp his fists.

The old man at position c arched his hand at Jian Heng: "Sovereign Jian, your honorable guest, make us look more radiant."

"...Well, don't be so polite, I'm here to bother you." Jian Heng couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the old man's speech.

Old man Yao introduced several other old men next to old man c, so Jian Heng understood that there were five gatherings in front of him. Except for old man Yao, he brought his humble boy to gather together. The five sects of Gao, Yan, Qian, Ling, and Kui, and the suzerains of the five sects, are all here.

It's just that when Jian Heng put them in front of these old cabbages, he immediately looked like a baby.

The old men and Jian Heng hummed a few words, then turned and left.

Mr. Yao explained to Jian Heng: "The uncles are all retreating separately. If you hadn't come, they wouldn't have come out to welcome you."

"Forget it, I also seem restrained when I'm with them, how about this, take me to see the blue blood tree python you got back?" Jian Heng said.

The old man Yao laughed: "No hurry, no hurry, I will take you to the place where you live first."

After finishing speaking, old man Yao waved his hand at the leading man, and then signaled Jian Heng to follow him.

Jian Heng didn't say much here, he stopped after taking two steps, and waved at the leading man, and when he came in front of him, he handed over the horse in his hand.

"This horse is for you," Jian Heng said with a smile.

The man is also a simple and honest person. Although he was happy when he heard the words, he didn't accept it. He said: "Mr. gave me the horse, how can I go back?"

Old Master Yao laughed and said to the man, "Silly, he is the suzerain of the Mausoleum, he can refute all beasts, and can recruit thousands of troops, so what does it matter when he sees a horse!"

The man looked at Jian Heng and saw that Jian Heng smiled and nodded, so he cupped his hands and thanked him, and happily led the horse.
