Chapter 1541 - A tranquil mountain village (1/2)
Who would have thought, when she went out, there was only a cloud of dust left on the mountain road. The young man in red’s figure was nowhere to be seen.“He left like this?” The woman stomped her foot and bit her lip. She didn’t ask the young man’s name!
In the night, a white horse and a young man in red were rus.h.i.+ng along the mountain road. The night wind blew on her face head-on, making her eyes ache.
As Old White galloped, it asked, “Mistress, is it really alright to leave that beauty there? What if she’s in danger?” In its view, the woman was beautiful and curvaceous. If she went on the road alone, she would very likely encounter danger.
If its mistress would take her, perhaps it would not have been so worried.
Feng Jiu’s lips curved up, showing a devilish smile. “Old White, when it’s time to go home, I’ll find you a mare! How about taking care of it?”
“Mistress, I’m a mutated horse. How can an ordinary horse be worthy of me? There’s no need.”
Galloping through the night, Old White’s voice was dispersed by the wind. The woman and the horse chatted perfunctorily until a small village materialized in front of them at the break of dawn.
“Mistress, there’s a small village. Let’s get some rest!” Old White was already trotting towards the village while talking.
“Once we enter the village, don’t speak. You’ll scare people otherwise.” Feng Jiu instructed it.
“Yes, I know that.”
Old White a.s.sented, shut its mouth, and followed the path to enter the village. At dawn, some of the villagers had gone out with their hoes on their shoulders or wooden casks on their shoulder pole. Smokes spiralled out from the chimneys, signifying some of the villagers were already making breakfast.
