Ma Chao hadn’t had time to move when Su Su felt relieved and used all his strength to slap the horse’s buttocks. The horse jumped up, throwing Ma Chao to the ground, and then ran away, chasing after Yue Gu and Feng Bei. The people on the ground were immobilized for half a day, and a blue sky suddenly appeared with Su Su’s shocked expression.
“Are you okay?”
Ma Chao glanced at him, said nothing, and slowly got up, while Su Su rode out another small horse.
The old lady carefully prepared the horse, patting its back and telling Su Su, “Horses are like people, with thousands of different personalities. Some can’t be hit from the front, some can’t be hit from behind, some are timid, some love to wander, some run sideways, some are disobedient, some love to bite. Don’t just jump on the horse and run, don’t shout on the horse, or it’ll get scared. When the horse runs, you need to follow its rhythm. This horse is called Yan Hua, just two and a half years old, with a small temper. You should follow its pace, and if Yue Gu is on the horse, he won’t be able to do anything and might hide inside.”
Ma Chao hurriedly got on the horse, afraid Su Su would sit in front of him. Su Su didn’t compete for a seat and sat on the ground, carefully observing a few half-open tea flowers. Those tea flowers were similar to the azalea in the milk hospital, with external flower clusters flat and stretched, and internal twists and turns, forming a high-necked flower shape. The flower buds grew from the folded flower branches. Su Su silently counted the flower petals. The old lady hadn’t seen flowers for several years and knew this flower would grow very tall, becoming a tree that would bloom like a burning cloud, which was quite extraordinary.
Su Su said, “I feel like it’s sick.”
The old lady and Su Su studied together, confirming that the flower’s nutrition was indeed poor and had grown abnormally. Summer kicked the Yan Hua’s belly with his foot, and Yan Hua walked away, exiting the courtyard. Yue Gu and Feng Bei had already moved far away, becoming two small black dots, with a hidden laugh.
The passage continues with detailed descriptions of their journey and interactions, set against a backdrop of landscape and historical context.
My car has a summer.”
“Then let Suse take me!”
Suse said: “You should go first.”
Jia Xing happily laughed: “That’s right! You’re a girl who’s playing with a man!”
Song Yanru was furious: “I’m going to play with a girl? The world’s emperors are all men, and women have no status.”
“This day belongs to women,” said Zhao Bei.
“This day I know that she became an empress only by marrying two men!”
Jia Xing said: “Do you think we can become emperors by playing together?”
Song Yanru was stunned but unconvinced, suddenly saying: “I’ve long thought about it. After I become an empress, Zhao Bei will be the prime minister, Suse will be the empress, I’ll be the East Pearl, and you’ll be the West Pearl.”
The gate opened, and the three “men” were caught. The prime minister was the supervisor, and Zhao Bei was under house arrest. This matter for the “men” was very serious, even a three-year-old “man” would know; the fleet commander Suse became the “old lady” and didn’t need to say more; Jia Xing was “biased” or a “western family”, originally this was called not bringing face.
Suse’s expression was not good, but she didn’t respond. Zhao Bei whistled, and the summer could not bear it, maliciously saying: “You go and get married first!”
Song Yanru’s face turned red, and Jia Xing and Zhao Bei’s atmosphere was gone. She secretly looked at Suse, who was writing homework. Guan Xiu silently picked up Suse’s pencil case, carefully cutting the pencil tip, and placing it back meticulously. Suse did not respond.
Suse still didn’t look up, saying: “You touched my things.”
“How many days are you going?” Guan Xiu asked in a demanding tone.
Suse continued writing: “Three days.”
“I can help you cook. That place has few people, and you can’t buy food.”
Suse finally looked up at her.
Song Yanru seized the opportunity again: “Take me with you?”
Suse did not reply, continuing to do homework. Guan Xiu turned to look at Zhao Bei, Jia Xing didn’t see her talking to Suse, watching nervously. Guan Xiu gestured to Song Yanru by raising his fist and shaking it twice, saying: “Forget it, it seems like things are good with the East.”
Zhao Bei had no choice but to say angrily: “We won’t discuss this day.”
Jia Xing felt Song Yanru was really stubborn. Hearing Zhao Bei say that Guan Xiu often went to play with Suse, Suse’s mother had no daughter, took her as a baby, Guan Xiu and Suse’s mother fought fiercely. When school first started, Song Yanru and Suse were not originally in the same class, but ended up in the same class and even at the same desk. The summer Zhao Bei didn’t separate them, but Guan Xiu let him come to calm down.
That day, at the youth’s door. The summer stood on Zhao Bei’s modified mountain road vehicle, holding Zhao Bei’s clothes and looking, guessing he would soon see Guan Xiu sitting in front of Suse’s car. The beautiful 24-speed mountain bike’s horizontal tube and angle were horizontal, very suitable for girls to sit, and the summer thought Suse must have chosen this bike early on.
Zhao Bei sat in the car, one foot on the pedal and one foot braking, occasionally playing with the car. The summer saw Suse coming from far away, then patted Zhao Bei, and Zhao Bei hit the car horn loudly. Suse was backed by two white mountains, the car hanging with various materials and water, with no sign of Guan Xiu. The summer breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunnan Province’s interior is mostly the Three Rivers Concurrent Area, the Jinsha River and Minjiang River’s shortest direct line distance is less than 19 kilometers, Minjiang and Jinshajiang’s shortest direct line distance is over 66 kilometers. The three rivers are in an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, no matter how, it is impossible.
When the sun rises over the river, the water flows gently, and the scenery is beautiful. The group of mountains in the south and north are lush, with flowers blooming and ancient trees reaching to the sky, creating a picturesque landscape.
Su Se said, “When the Western Expedition was launched, sixteen thousand troops crossed the river in anger, not knowing if they had ever passed through here before.”
Zhu Ge’s long voice rang out, “The iron cavalry has been worn down, and the soldiers march forward. If we can’t eat or drink comfortably, we might as well go downstream to wash.”
Feng Bei found this idea appealing. Zhu Ge was the first to take off his clothes and jump down, with Zhao Bei following closely, but he didn’t dare to go too far. He found a rock by the riverbank, clenched his fists, and watched the river’s current slowly flow, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Zhu Ge pushed back towards the riverbank, and Su Se saw him moving quickly like a small dog, finally going into the water. Confirming there were no others around, he took off his clothes and climbed onto the cart, jumping down into the water.
Holding onto a stone, Zhao Bei challenged him to a race, saying they should compete to see who was faster. They played together and joked around. On the first return, Su Se said he hadn’t eaten well and needed nutrition, which wasn’t fair.
Just then, they heard a horse’s hooves approaching. Three riders appeared – first a white horse, then a red-clothed and yellow-bridled horse, with a woman and child riding on top.
The woman’s child peeked out from the green forest, her red lips parted like a blooming flower.
It was Song Ying Er.
Song Ying Er gripped the horse’s reins, unable to dismount, her light body swaying on the horse. She reached out and hung Zhu Ge’s clothes on the cart.
