Chapter 450 - 450 Distracted?
450 Distracted?
Once the saddle was fixed, the horse seller immediately handed the reins and whip to Xue Sanfu.
Xue Sanfu didn’t say anything. He took the reins and whip and led the horse around the wooden fence to a large empty field surrounded with another fence. He began to try riding the horse.
This empty field was the horse farm that the horse seller was talking about.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could only watch from outside the fence.
The horse seller stood outside the fence and looked on happily. He felt that he would definitely be able to sell a horse today, and it would be a high-grade horse at that!
Xue Sanfu held the reins and stood next to his horse. He was in no hurry to Mount his horse, and after a moment of silence, he turned to the seller and indifferently asked,”What should I pay attention to when riding a horse?”
The person selling the horse was also a smart person. He understood the moment he heard something go on. “Don’t tell me… You’ve never ridden a horse before, haven’t you? Is this your first time riding it? Why don’t I let someone lead the horse and you try riding it again?”
After he spoke, he called for someone who was familiar with the horse to bring them around. However, Xue Sanfu cut him off, “No need. You just need to tell me what I should pay attention to.”
“This…” The horse seller was afraid that something would happen and was very hesitant. Once he saw Xue Sanfu’s stoic and insistent expression, he began to explain the steps on how to move around with a horse.
“Yes.” Xue Sanfu nodded and touched the horse’s head before stepping on the pedal and getting on the horse.
With a person on its back, the horse immediately became excited. As if it had been frightened, it ran around, trying to shake Xue Sanfu off its back.
Xue Sanfu couldn’t even sit still and was on the verge of collapse.
Yet, his persistence allowed him to stay on the back of the horse.
The horse seller was so scared that he quickly called for people, but those people didn’t dare to go over, afraid that they would die under the horse’s random stomping.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue was very calm. This was his first time riding a horse. It was already a good sign that Sanfu wasn’t falling off.
Moreover, when she looked at Sanfu’s posture, she could tell that he definitely wouldn’t fall. He should really be able to sit firmly on the horse once he gets used to it. He just needed time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue shot a glance at Xue Yan. She saw that Xue Yan was lost in thought again.
Xue Yan looked really distracted. He looked at Sanfu frowning and desperately trying to sit on the horse. Such stubbornness, Sanfu rarely had such stubbornness. It made him think of Sanfu’s stubbornness in his previous life, and those days when he had to personally lead people to secretly protect him.
He had said many times that he didn’t want Sanfu to be like this, he couldn’t help but feel regret seeing it again. He didn’t want Sanfu to be in danger. In the end, Sanfu was annoyed and didn’t talk to him anymore. He even brought people to protect him secretly without being discovered.
In his past life, only Sanfu had been able to bring so many people close to him without being discovered.
Now that Sanfu wanted to ride this horse steadily, he felt that Sanfu would definitely be able to do it. However, he had really neglected Sanfu too much in his previous life and felt bad if he cheered him on.
“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment, but she still lowered her voice and asked.
Xue Yan closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again and continued to look at the horse track. He lowered his voice and said in a voice only she could hear, “I’m thinking if I should not have been picked up by this family.”
If he was not a member of this family, everything that happened in his previous life would not have happened.
No matter what, it was all because of him that everyone in the family reached an unfortunate end.
He had always felt that he had let down Da Ling, the Emperor, and the people. The only ones he had truly let down were his family, and he felt like he owed them his life.
