Chapter 74: Unusual Pair
Qin Feng was really suffering while riding on horseback.
For someone who couldn’t ride, the jolting motion would make one’s stomach feel like it’s turning upside down.
What made it even worse for Qin Feng was the gourd that Si Zheng carried on his back. It would frequently bump into him, especially when the horse jumped. The enormous gourd would press against him, causing an indescribable discomfort.
If they were traveling on mountain or river roads, it would be tolerable since the terrain would be relatively smooth, with fewer bumps and holes. The horses would also jump less frequently.
But Qin Feng had no idea what possessed Yang He and the other person to avoid the main road and choose to traverse the mountains and forests. The horses frequently stumbled, and he wondered, could any man endure this?
No, this couldn’t go on. My life will be ruined at this rate, thought Qin Feng, his face contorted in pain. He wanted to ask to switch to another horse.
Just then, Yang He pulled the reins, and his steed neighed before coming to a halt. Zhang Tiannan, who was at the back of the group, reacted swiftly. Without a word, he pulled the reins, and his horse came to a stop.
“What’s going on?” Si Zheng asked.
Yang He replied, “Yesterday, my and Zhang Tiannan’s steeds traveled a long distance. The horses are already very tired. We don’t need to rush back to Qiyuan City today. Let’s take a rest here.”
