Chapter 333 - Eye-Catching White Cloud Attracts Buyers (1/2)
Anar rides on the horse of heaven, coming here like white lightning across the sky at dusk. It’s the final group, so audiences are tired of watching. However, they soon feel refreshed when they see the perfect cooperation between the unique white horse and the valiant heroic female rider.
While all men of the gra.s.sland are still not convinced, Anar wins easily on the horse of heaven without any doubt.
In a chorus of praise, Anar jumps down and leads the white horse to Ze Yitong. The little girl’s face is incredibly red. She is too excited to say anything.
Now she knows—At the very start, what Anar really wanted to catch was not wild horses, but the horse of heaven!
“Ajia, how dare you… Hmm…”
Anar covers her mouth, not letting her finish her sentence. She signals to Ze Yitong that many people here might hear what she says.
Ze Yitong nods, “Let’s take it back to our yurt. Otherwise, if it is stolen, what should we do?” Saying it, Ze Yitong tries to lead the white horse. However, it stands still, without even moving its hoof.
Ze Yitong pouts, “Ajia, it only obeys you.”
Anar smiles and touches the mane of the white horse. Of course, it only obeys her, its only owner in the world. People can see how s.h.i.+ny she is now. But they don’t know how much she suffered in the Snow Mountains for taming the so-called horse of heaven. It makes Anar think that her victory this time is not about taming the white horse, but conquers herself.
They lead the white horse to their yurt. Dun Zhu and nana are overjoyed when they see Anar back here.
“It is a very daring thing to catch wild horses. Let us see… are you OK?”
Nana can’t help weeping. Dun Zhu is not good at Mandarin, so she doesn’t know how to express it even when she anxiously wants to stand up and check Anar. Anar tells them what happened, avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. Certainly, she doesn’t mention it’s the horse of heaven.
It’s not uncommon to see white horses. The horse of heaven is nothing different but more unique. Without famous sayings, ordinary people can’t a.s.sociate it with the horse of heaven—Besides, who can believe she, an ordinary woman, could tame the horse of heaven?
It’s very crowded and noisy in the yurts tonight. Anar follows Ze Yitong to wander around. There are herdsmen singing and dancing around the campfire. They all recognize Anar as the owner of the white horse and invite her and Ze Yitong to dance together.
Everyone smiles so happily by the campfire. Anar feels that she really gets involved in this atmosphere.
After much laughter, Anar and Ze Yitong both get a lot of roast whole lamb and then they choose to go back. The four of them share the lamb together. Ze Yitong sleeps next to Anar at night. She quietly asks Anar if she has named the white horse.
Anar remembers the pure ice and snowcapped mountains. The holy white horse is like a cloud, looked like floating when running.
“How about, White Cloud?”
Ze Yitong mutters in a low voice. She seems to think the name is too normal for it. However, she can’t come up with a more suitable name so she can only accept it.
Outside the yurt, White Cloud seems to hear their conversation. It swings its tail. Anar also doesn’t know whether it likes this name or not. Forget about it. Isn’t she its owner who makes decisions?
All three of Dun Zhu fall asleep. Anar gently presses her outer thighs, and the sharp pain makes her mouth twitch. White Cloud was really stubborn. After three days’ stalemate, it still throws her out and she hits a rock very hard. There must be a lot of bruises all over her body. She doesn’t know when it will be better.
The fatigue of riding here and taming White Cloud these days finally makes Anar sink into her dream.
…
In an insignificant yurt, it is bright here even without lighting, because of the bonfire outside.
A man dressed as a herdsman gets in. He tells the news that Anar rode a white horse to join in the racing at the last minute.
