Chapter 228: Spurring the Horse and Cracking the Whip
Qin Yi paid the fare and also paid the taxi driver four times the usual amount.
Old Man Niu brought out a tall chestnut horse for Qin Yi, grinning with his yellow teeth, he said, "Kid, there’s less than two hours until it’s dark. You’d better stay the night before heading out."
Qin Yi thanked Old Man Niu for his kindness, but Lan Jiaojiao was in danger, and there was no time to delay.
Old Man Niu first helped Qin Yi prepare some dry food and water, then he set up the saddle, handed him a whip, and casually asked, "Kid, have you ever ridden a horse?"
Qin Yi shook his head; he had indeed never ridden a horse.
Old Man Niu said, "Try it first. This horse has a fiery temperament. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll get you a docile one."
Qin Yi smiled and mounted the horse.
Horses are spiritual animals; they recognize their master and knew the person on their back wasn’t their owner, so they immediately got agitated, trying to throw Qin Yi off.
Qin Yi snorted coldly and pressed down on the horse’s neck with one hand. With such overpowering strength, it couldn’t even move, let alone lift its forelegs.
The horse immediately calmed down, realizing the person on its back was not to be trifled with.
