How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 111

By mid-afternoon, Xia Chu couldn't take it anymore. Her thighs ached, her back ached. The novelty of learning a new skill had completely worn off, leaving only fatigue.

Bai Wuxia was still galloping, not even needing to pull the reins. She and Bai Ma Wushuang were in perfect sync, and when the mood struck, they would stand on the horse's back and show off their skills.

Lin Lang and the others cooperated very well and clapped their hands in applause. Bai Wuxia performed the trick of hiding in the stirrup with a little pride and turned around immediately.

"Wuxia is so amazing. I'm lucky enough to be able to ride it." Lin Lang said.

Li Yun looked at him and smiled, but said nothing.

The sun began to set, and the girls packed up and started to head back. If we were to say who was the happiest today, it would probably be Da An and Xiao An.

Before leaving, Da'an and Xiao'an looked back frequently. Xia Chu's heart softened, and he hugged the two dogs and comforted them, saying, "Come and play again next time." At the same time, he made up his mind to take them to the hunting ground to play.

"Don't be sad, Da'an. I'll bring you back tomorrow." Influenced by Xia Chu, Bai Wuxia also called herself "sister." She had previously found it strange. But Da'an and Xiao'an were so smart that it was hard to just treat them as dogs.

Xiao An buried his head in Bai Wuxia's arms, sticking out his tongue and breathing out, as if he was laughing.

When I took a shower at night in early summer, I found that the skin on the inside of my thigh was a little rubbed. Thinking that I had to go out again the next day, it hurt even more.

There was still some medicine left from the one Zhao Huazhang sent last time. She could hardly see any signs of it on her face. The medicine must be really effective.

After three days of going to the stables, Xia Chu now has no problem trotting. She's also become adept at getting on and off a horse, and as long as she doesn't gallop, she can ride well.

Bai Wuxia told her that there was a section of the route where they would need to ride horses, but they couldn't ride in the hunting forest. So, it didn't require any special skills, just knowing how to ride would be enough. This made Xia Chu feel relieved. She asked her second brother, and he also went back, which made things safer.

The day of going to the hunting grounds soon arrived, and Zhang Zhou was waiting for Xu Shiqing at the door. The last time his carriage arrived, Xu Shiqing looked disdainful, "This carriage hasn't been cleaned in ten years, has it? You just rode it here?"

As he spoke, he even sniffed the smell on Zhang Zhou's body, and felt that it smelled very stinky.

Zhang Zhou looked helpless, "How can it be that exaggerated?"

"Next time I come to pick you up, if you take this kind of carriage again, stay away from me." Xu Shiqing almost covered his nose at the time, and did not invite him to ride in his own carriage. It was probably because he disliked him and could not overcome the psychological barrier.

The Xu family's carriage was spotless and still smelled of rosin. It was incomparable to the rental car. Zhang Zhou didn't think Xu Shiqing was showing off or showing off.

Xu Shiqing was a man who wouldn't even glance at someone if he didn't like them, let alone invite them to ride in his carriage. Most people didn't have that privilege.

For example, their good friend, Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin naturally had a carriage, but he loved teasing Xu Shiqing. He was active in martial arts and sweated easily. Xu Shiqing always said he smelled of sweat and was disgusted by it.

But Zhang Xin insisted on getting close, riding a horse and squeezing into the carriage. Xu Shiqing couldn't beat him, and he couldn't persuade him, so he could only wait for his luck in a corner of the carriage.

Zhang Zhou came up and saw this scene. The two of them were each in a corner. Zhang Xin was smiling, while Xu Shiqing sat on the other side angrily. "Brother Yuanshan, what did you do again?"

Zhang Xin was about to answer when Xu Shiqing spoke first, "He was sweating all over from riding a horse, but he insisted on getting in. The carriage had become stinky, and he wouldn't ride the horse even though it was outside."

"I'm tired of riding, let's take a break." Zhang Xin curled his lips and smiled. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Shiqing angry.

Xu Shiqing glared at Zhang Xin fiercely and said to Zhang Zhou, "Where's my sister? Isn't she going?"

"If she wants to go, the eldest daughter of the Bai family will pick her up." Zhang Zhou didn't smell any sweat in the car. He didn't understand Zhang Xin's bad taste and Xu Shiqing's pampering. But he believed that everyone was different, as long as they agreed with him on the major issues.

The He family's hunting grounds encompassed two mountains, and a farm was built at their foot. It's said there's a hot spring on the mountain, making winters even more comfortable. Fresh vegetables can even be grown near the hot springs, a testament to the He family's wealth.

It is called a manor, and it covers a very large area. There are also many horses raised here for people who come here to have fun.

Xia Chu felt like she was really like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Such a big place was actually privately owned by a certain family.

There are horse farms and farmland at the foot of the mountain, hunting grounds and hot spring resorts on the mountain.

Just how rich was the He family? Xia Chu didn't dare to think about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that if she fell into He Suowei's hands, she would have no chance of resistance. Even if He Suowei killed her, her family would be completely helpless against him.

This is probably the allure of power, right?

Xia Chu looked up at the distant mountains and suddenly felt like retreating.

"Xia Chu, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Lang asked with concern when he saw that she suddenly stopped leaving.

Seeing the others showing worried expressions, Daan beside her also nudged her legs. Xia Chu smiled and said, "It's okay."

"I'll help you pick horses." Seeing that nothing was wrong, Bai Wuxia took the lead and walked in front.

As soon as she entered the stables of the horse farm, she saw her second brother, Bai Wuyu.

"Second brother." Bai Wuxia jumped and ran over.

"Hmm?" Bai Wuyu turned back with a smile, "Are you so late? I picked out a few docile ones, and Wushuang brought them to you too."

"You left later than me, but you're here first?" Bai Wuxia pulled her brother's arm. "Those are all my friends over there."

"Well, you should be more dignified now that you're a grown-up girl." Bai Wuyu said this, but he followed his sister's force and walked over. He had seen three of them before, but only the last one was the first time he met, so he thought she was a new acquaintance. "How are you, ladies?"

"Hello, Second Brother Bai." Li Yun bowed gently.

Xia Chu observed them and followed suit. She then secretly observed Bai Wuxia's second brother. He had a similar temperament to hers, like a scholar. But he had a sharper edge than Zhang Zhou. Perhaps it was because his expression was more intense, Xia Chu thought.

"My second brother has already chosen the horses. We will ride to the mountainside and rest there for a while." Bai Wuxia introduced. It was obvious that this was not his first time here.

The servants brought the horses over, and Xia Chu received her own. It had a chestnut coat and large, calm, gentle eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a docile horse.

"Good dogs." Bai Wuyu couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he saw the two hounds squatting obediently.

"Right, right? I specially asked Xia Chu to bring them here." Bai Wuxia said proudly, "They are the Da'an and Xiao'an I told you about. They are so smart."

Bai Wuyu nodded at Xia Chu and said, "An ordinary horse would probably get agitated with this dog, so why not let me lead it?"

Xia Chu hesitated and frowned, "Is it not okay to follow behind? I'll keep them away."

Bai Wuyu shook his head slightly, "If Ma feels that he is being chased, I'm afraid something will happen."

Bai Wuxia persuaded, "Xia Chu, let my second brother take care of it. His horse is a warhorse and is not afraid of dogs. We will meet on the mountainside then. Don't worry. My second brother is very reliable."

Xia Chu could only nod.
