However, I was so eager to save people that I forgot that I was on a slope.
The horse's front legs were raised high under the crotch, and the two hind legs of the horse lost its center of gravity.
When the horse's hoof fell, it failed to hit the centipede as expected, and instead fell towards the slope.
I stumbled in the downward direction, but I didn't rein in the horse.
The horse took me down the grassy slope.
When I looked back, I saw that the experienced "Lao Sheeppi" was not galloping on the slope.
He knew that there might be other rat holes on the grass hill, and in this kind of terrain, if one hit failed to save him, Before Ding Sixian arrived, it was already too late to turn around, so he was half a step slower than Fatty and I.
At this time, Lao Yangpi had pulled the "Kangxi Sword" out of its sheath, and the red sunset reflected the blade.
With cold light.
It was too late to say, but soon, just as the centipede was about to pounce on Ding Sitian, he saw a flash of the knife in Lao Yangpi's hand, and slashed the opponent's foot on the side of the centipede.
Yes, The shell will gradually become harder, but only the legs are so thin that they are incompatible with the body.
They often break, but they can be regenerated.
The old sheepskin swung the knife and cut off all three long legs of the giant centipede.
The centipede rolled several times in the long grass in pain, but finally failed to bite Ding Sitian.
However, it twisted its body and swam in the grass like the wind, and then jumped into the air with a rush, heading straight towards Lao Sheepskin.
Pounced over, Lao Yangpi saw that the blow just now had failed.
After swinging the centipede in two parts, the opponent came back again.
Fortunately, although he was old, his years of nomadic life made him still flexible.
He hurriedly leaned down on the saddle bridge, and the centipede flew from his back with a gust of fishy wind.
Passed, missed.
Centipedes have strange habits.
They cannot be seen during the day.
They emerge after dusk and move when they smell fishy smell.
The black-spotted centipede on the grassland is the most poisonous.
It is not surprising that it kills horses, cattle and sheep.
I saw the empty centipede falling behind Lao Sheeppi. , without turning around, climbed straight onto the bay-red horse with a broken leg.
Just as he was unable to move, he saw a thick centipede crawling onto his body.
He knew that if he was bitten by it, he would be doomed.
He wanted to turn his horse over and crush the poisonous insect with his own weight, but before it could move, he was killed by the centipede's gills and legs.
It penetrated into a nerve, and his eyes instantly turned blue, and he died stiffly in the grass.
Although centipedes can poison cattle and horses, cattle and horses are thick, so they usually only eat small animals, and some large centipedes occasionally eat humans.
The herdsmen value the horses as much as their lives.
When Lao Sheeppi saw the bay red horse died, he was naturally very sad.
In addition to feeling sorry for the horses, he was also worried that many cows and horses had died this time, and he would not be able to explain it to the pastoral area when he returned.
However, he soon discovered that the big yellow-green-and-black-spotted centipede had killed the horses and then turned towards him and Ding Sitian.
Pounced over.
At the critical moment, she didn't even bother to feel sorry for the bay red horse.
She quickly reached out to Ding Sitian and pulled her onto the mount.
The two of them rode the retired old army horse together, knocking the stirrups with both feet, and the old army horse carried the old sheepskin.
He and Ding Sitian jumped down from the slope of the grassy hill.
The fat man and I turned our horses around and were about to rush back again, when we saw Lao Yangpi and Ding Sitian running towards us.
There was a rustle in the grass behind them, and the giant centipede more than one meter long was also chasing after us.
Come on, let me see that The centipede was coming so fiercely that it could poison a Mongolian horse to death in an instant.
They didn't dare to step on it anymore.
They made a gesture, and Fatty Yu turned the horse's head again.

Everyone urged the horse to escape into the forest, hoping to use the horse's speed.
Get rid of the pursuing centipede.
But as soon as I entered the woods, I regretted it.
The deeper we went into the mountain, the denser the trees became.
It was indeed a pleasure to run a horse on the wide grassland without any obstruction, but riding a horse in a place with trees was really dizzying.
The horses were galloping among the trees, watching the strange-shaped ancient trees fly by, feeling as if they would hit the trees at any time.
I didn’t run very far, but my clothes had already been torn several times by branches, and I didn’t know where my dog-skin hat had fallen.
I saw that the trees in the forest were growing sideways and towering, blocking out the sun.
If I continued running, everyone would have to run away. , I quickly pulled the reins, but only a specially trained horse can stop at will.
My horse was not very obedient.
Instead of stopping, it rushed out diagonally, pushing the fat man riding beside him out of the way. route.
The fat man's horse led him towards an old tree.
The old tree had a thick branch that grew very low, just across the fat man's path.
When the fat man saw this, he hurriedly hid in the grass.
This move only looked at the grassland.
The herdsman on the horse had done this before, but he had never practiced it.
He pulled his legs out of the pedals, leaned awkwardly on the horse's back, curled up and fell to the side of the mount.
Although the movement was ugly, he just avoided the Horizontal branches.
The fat man was quite proud of his performance.
He was worried that other people wouldn't see his move, so he shouted for everyone to pay attention to his movements.
However, he could only half-imitate his movements while hiding in the pedals.
He was fat and heavy.
It was difficult to get back on the horse.
At this time, his mount was about to run between two big trees.
The tree was wide enough to pass a horse, but the horse's side and the fat man couldn't pass it anyway.
Seeing that he was about to hit the tree, the fat man had no way to hide, and it was impossible to stop the horse, so he simply closed his eyes.
The abandoned horse rolled to the ground and fell into a mess of grass.
The horse jumped deep into the dense forest without looking back.
I was just watching the fat man hide in his legs, but he was also knocked off his horse by a thick branch.
Thanks to the thick clothes he wore, his ribs were not broken.
Moreover, he held the branch with both hands and hung in the air, while the horse galloped with his hips.
After getting up, he and the fat man's horse ran into the dense forest and thick fog, and disappeared in a moment, leaving only the sound of a bunch of horse hooves.
I was hanging in the air holding a tree branch, unable to reach the sky or the ground.
My ribs were hurt from being hit.
I was about to let go and let myself down, but I heard a few rustling sounds in the grass under my feet, and the ribs were cut away.
A big centipede with three pairs of legs popped up from the grass, raised its head with its teeth and claws, and jumped at my feet.
When I didn't see it, I quickly used my waist and legs to turn over and climb up the branch of the tree.
Lao Yangpi was skilled in equestrian skills.
Although he and Ding Sitian were riding together, and they were riding an old horse, they still ran much faster than us in the woods.
After entering the woods, they left the fat man and me behind.
Ding Sitian When they turned around and saw the fat man and I falling off the horse, they immediately told Lao Yangpi.
The two turned around and saw me hiding from the centipedes on a tree branch.
The centipede was moving forward and backward in the old trees and long grass.
Before Lao Sheepskin's horse could advance, it turned from the grass to behind them.
It stood up and spread its paws and bit the old army horse's hindquarters.

I lay on the branch of the tree.
Seeing it so clearly, I exclaimed, thinking that it was a pity that this retired military horse, which could understand people, died tragically at the mouth of a centipede
