Chapter 60 Horse, horse, slow down!

Wen Chengbin stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, as the foals disappeared before his eyes.

Wen Chengjian quickly came to his senses and pointed to the spot where the foal had disappeared. "That's it?"

Wenwen answered seriously, "Yes, that's it."

Wen Chengjian pointed to the center of the tree, a mixture of excitement and disbelief in his eyes, "Then, what about those?"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Wen Chengjian rubbed his hands together, his expression a mixture of trepidation and secret delight. "If it's possible, then... then..."

Wen Chengbin finally accepted reality and calmed down, looking at him with starry eyes, "Big brother, I want that white one outside. Give me your Star Lotus Grass, and I'll go lure it over?"

Wenwen: ......

Uh, my second brother always looks like a fool who can't keep up with the latest trends. He's always been so unreliable. I don't know how my eldest brother puts up with him.

She quickly grabbed him and said bluntly, "Second Brother, this trick only works for those who are alone. There are too many people gathered outside, making it difficult to get close. Let's think of another way."

After Wenwen's reminder, Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin regained their senses.

Wen Chengjian pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question, "Sister, what conditions do you need for this 'go you'?"

"You have to get close."

"Close? The pony was that close just now?"

"Yes, it has to be that close."

After thinking for a moment and whispering a few words to Wen Changbin, Wen Chengjian made a decision: "Little sister, your second brother and I will use our 'Shedding Shell Technique' to support you from either side, quickly approach, and then quickly retreat. Is that alright?"

Wen Chengbin nodded and assured him, "I will definitely hold my sister well, she'll be perfectly stable, don't worry."

Now it was Wenwen's turn to be stunned. My goodness, with two big brothers protecting her, there was nothing she couldn't get close to, nothing she couldn't take! However, we are socialist successors who have received higher education, and we must also adhere to the principle of taking from the people and using for the people, right? We can't drive everything to ruin.

Wenwen's eyes lit up with a smile, and she swallowed hard. "That's a good idea, hehehe..."

The three of them whispered amongst themselves, rubbing their hands together in anticipation, and discussed their plan.

This scene caught the eye of the father and son in the tree not far away. Wen Qikang used his signature voice prompt, "Pfft, pfft, hey, we want to come down and take a look."

Wenwen waved her hand to them in refusal, then made a telescope-like gesture with her hands over her eyes and pointed forward, asking them to keep observing.

Wen Chengjian also conveyed in a low voice, "Third Uncle, you and Fourth Brother stay in the tree and don't move around."

Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin got ready, each grabbing Wenwen's arm on either side, and looked seriously ahead.

Wen Chengjian turned his head and said, "Second brother, let's go!"

The three stood close together in a row. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." Like a gust of wind, Wenwen felt a blur before her eyes and was in the center of the big tree. She dared not be distracted. After judging the distance, she put several horses into her space with a thought.

"Quick, change direction."

Her two older brothers held her arms and turned her around in another direction, bringing in a few more horses.

"Change direction quickly." As soon as she spoke, the two of them used all their strength to change direction.

Following the proper procedures, they successfully acquired over a dozen horses.

In the blink of an eye, the horses found themselves in a different environment. Looking up, they saw three high mountains, and the scent emanating from them instantly snapped them out of their daze. This was truly a wonderful place, filled with the pleasant fragrance of flowers and grass, much better than the mountain streams they usually ran through. In no time, the horses readily accepted this place and obeyed Xianbao's commands, shaking their heads and running up the mountain.

While directing these new companions, Xianbao reported to Wenwen, "Master, don't worry, leave these horses to me."

"Line Boy, there will be new friends coming soon, so you'd better keep an eye on them."

"Yes, yes, Linebao guarantees to complete the mission."

The three siblings drifted by, and soon only the five horses at the very back remained under the big tree.

The five horses—one white, one red, one black and white, and two black—were vying for the Star Lotus Grass on their heads. Suddenly sensing that their competitors were decreasing, the horses looked around in bewilderment. At that moment, Wenwen had a sudden thought and took the bundle of Star Lotus Grass from the horses' heads.

The sudden disappearance of the scent caused the horses to instantly stiffen, pointing their ears forward, their tails clenched around their hindquarters, and their necks arched, looking tense and anxious.

Wenwen quickly stuffed a handful of star lotus grass into each of her two older brothers' hands, "Quick, go and try it."

Wen Chengbin carefully gathered the grass, a wide smile spreading across his face. He took off running towards his beloved horse, loudly singing his self-composed tune, "Horse, horse, slow down, wait for your second brother to come find you..."

Wenwen was speechless. Her second brother was so enthusiastic about the white horse. What if the white horse kicked up its heels? Let's see if he can still sing. If he can tame it without Xinghecao's help, then he'll be considered amazing.

Wen Chengjian, similarly, put away the Star Lotus Grass and ran towards the black and white horse.

The two blocked off two directions, leaving only one exit, which was where Wenwen was standing.

The other three horses, seeing the two of them rushing towards their companions, were startled and hurriedly retreated, only able to charge straight towards Wenwen.

Wenwen thought to herself, "The opportunity has come!" She stood still, took out the Star Lotus Grass, held it up like a bouquet of flowers, and shook it at the horses.

The three horses, smelling the familiar scent ahead, slowed their disordered pace, their frightened expressions gradually subsided, and their eyes shone brightly as they looked at the grass in Wenwen's hand, a string of drool dripping from the corner of their mouths onto the ground.

Wenwen boldly strolled closer to them and found that they showed no signs of fighting over her; they simply stretched their necks to get closer to her, as if waiting for her permission.

Wenwen stroked the backs of each horse one by one, and as a reward, fed each horse a few stalks of grass.

The horses finally got to taste the star lotus grass they had been dreaming of. They raised their necks high, neighed, and then lowered their heads to approach Wenwen, even trying to gently bite the hem of her clothes.

Wenwen also sensed their kindness, and on a whim, fed each of them an apple, saying, "Be good and you'll get something good to eat. Go inside and stay there for now."

Having discussed the potential for income...

After Wenwen finished collecting the three horses, she turned around to look at the two brothers training the horses.

Wen Chengjian and the black and white horse were locked in a fierce battle, going back and forth. One wanted to ride, while the other wouldn't let him. In the end, Wen Chengjian's skill prevailed, and the black and white horse was tamed. Only after it was tamed could the star lotus grass be eaten.

Wen Chengjian patted the horse's head, "From now on, you'll follow me closely, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Wen Chengbin wasn't so lucky.

He followed the white horse all the way, trying to persuade it with both kind and harsh words, but the white horse remained unmoved. Left with no other choice, he took out his withered tree branch and engaged the white horse in a fierce battle, using all his skills to finally make the white horse submit.

Wen Cheng pointed his sword at the horse's head and scolded, "I told you to slow down, you scoundrel! You made me go through so much trouble. Here, have this. From now on, you must listen to me. Remember that."

After the white horse finished eating the star lotus grass, it felt refreshed and nuzzled Wen Chengbin's leg. Wen Chengbin let out a "woof" and pushed the horse's head away. "Oh, now you know how good I am. Humph, I'm ignoring you."

Wenwen was speechless and wondered the heavens. Her second brother definitely had a horse-loving brain, and was arrogant to an absurd degree.

Wen Qikang and Wen Chengfeng, perched in the tree, watched the scene unfolding below with immense envy.

Fortunately, Wen Qikang hadn't forgotten his mission. "Pfft, pfft, something's up."
