Chapter 258: Chapter 256: Husband and Wife Travel Together, On Horseback, Laughing to the Sky!
A horse carrying two people sped along a small path between the mountains.
In the chilly wind of early winter morning, the accumulated snow from last night was swept up by the galloping horse. With each pounding of its hooves, the snow splattered all around, accompanied by a shower of fine ice and raindrops falling down.
The horse, with snow splashing beneath its hooves, sped along the path, carrying the two riders on its back. Breathing in the cold air, thick mist puffed out but dissipated in the air before condensing.
Liu Sisi covered her face tightly, as the howling wind blinded her eyes. She tried to open them countless times, but her hair whipped wildly in her face.
She could only turn her head to the side and finally caught sight of their surroundings.
The scenery on both sides of her body was fast retreating, and it was so familiar yet endearing in her eyes at that moment.
How long had it been since she last saw such rapidly retreating scenery!
Di Yelei held Liu Sisi firmly in his embrace, descended from the small path and raced along the riverbank.
There were not many people on the riverbank in the early morning winter. Occasionally, there were two or three little kittens washing their clothes in the shallow water. Seeing the galloping horse with the two riders, they straightened up and looked at the receding figures, whispering to each other.
They rode on, galloping all the way, not knowing how long they had been running.
From the initial fear to now sitting comfortably on the horse’s back, Liu Sisi went through a tremendous change!
Di Yelei was delighted!
It seemed like Sisi liked horse riding! What a good sign!
“Ye Lei, Ye Lei over there!”
Liu Sisi exclaimed with joy, quickly pointing a finger, prompting Di Yelei to look.
It was a vast sandy beach with a few low shrubs on the ground covered in a layer of accumulated snow, completely white as far as the eye could see.
“Alright! Let’s go check it out.”
While speaking, he swiftly pulled the reins, and the horse changed directions, speeding towards the wide expanse of snowy wilderness.
Trotting on the wilderness, drawing circles, horse hooves stirring up, and leaving behind a series of peculiar horseshoe prints on the snow.
There were hoof-shaped ones, strip-shaped ones, and fan-shaped ones. Underneath the snow was the accumulated sand. When the horse stepped on it, it would leave a hoof-shaped hole. But with the force of the horse’s leg lifting varying, all sorts of shapes were swiftly left on the snow, extending the trail all the way to where the two approached.
Liu Sisi laughed! Her silvery laughter was contagious to Di Yelei behind her. He suddenly let go of the reins, raised his head with a sudden swing, and cupped both hands around his cheeks, letting out a long howl!
“Rooooar!!”
The deep and mellow roar echoed through the valley, startling countless unidentified birds. Fluttering wings sent countless snowflakes swirling, making the mountains lively all of a sudden!
The joy of the two riders also spurred on the horse, making it increasingly playful. It eagerly pranced around, gradually beginning to speed up.
Di Yelei gently held the reins, allowing the horse beneath him to gallop freely, running wildly along the mountain stream.
Faster and faster, faster and faster, faster and faster!
Suddenly, the horse stopped in its tracks. Before Liu Sisi could adapt to the abrupt change, it couldn’t help but rear up, letting out a skyward howl!
Drip, drip, drip!
As the howl continued, the horse fiercely shook its head several times.
While the horse was in high spirits, the two riders on its back were not having as much fun!
