201 Fighting For Favor

When the black horse heard what she said, it suddenly turned around and lifted its hind legs at the barrier in the middle of the stable. It kicked the wooden board so hard that it cracked. The brown horse and the big young mule next door were so shocked that they started to spin around.

Mo Ruyue knew that the better a horse was, the more violent its temper would be, so she didn't get angry when she saw the black horse kicking up a fuss. She was just trying to figure out the reason for the horse's sudden outburst.

Although the black horse still looked weak, it was still breathing air at the brown horse and gritting its teeth. Its hooves kept digging at the ground, as if threatening the brown horse.

So, it was trying to fight for its favor?

"If you want me to take you there, you have to recover first. Otherwise, you can't run for long distances. Are you still trying to be brave?"

Although Mo Ruyue's mouth was scolding, she still handed over an apple to it. No matter how one looked at it, she was pampering it very much.

If she had bought this horse earlier, she might have been able to take it with her this time. It would definitely be a good horse if it was raised well. But why did such a good horse fall into the hands of a horse dealer like that, and become so sick?

Fortunately, it had met her in the end. Otherwise, if it had been delayed for a few more days, she would not have been able to save it.

After the big black horse ate the apple, it came to rub against Mo Ruyue and was very intimate with her. It was recovering very quickly now. It seemed that it would be completely cured when she came back. Then, it would be her company when they traveled far in the future.

Very soon, it was time to set off for Ping City.

It was originally Mo Ruyue's turn to give medical services, but after she received the reply from the magistrate, she changed her shift schedule and changed her medical service time to yesterday. Moreover, it was only half a day's time, and she went home early.

When Mo Ruyue led the brown horse out of the stable, the black horse threw a tantrum again. However, this time, Mo Ruyue did not comfort it. Instead, she looked at it indifferently, and the black horse actually quieted down.

The babies followed behind Mo Ruyue and were stopped by her when they reached the courtyard gate.

"Alright, let's stop here. You don't need to send me off."

Mo Ruyue didn't want the villagers to think that she was the one who wanted to abandon her son and run away.

"When you're not at home, take care of yourselves. Da Bao, Mother will leave your younger siblings to you."

She warned the babies and then looked at Da Bao.

"I will, don't worry."

Da Bao nodded. Although his answer was short, it was as firm as ever, making people believe in his promise instinctively.

Mo Ruyue suddenly realized that Da Bao seemed to have grown a lot taller. His physical body was that of a tall person, about 1.7 meters tall. Now, Da Bao seemed to be only half a head shorter than her. He was only 12 years old and he was already so tall. Wouldn't he grow into a man like an iron tower in the future?

She shook her head in her heart.

Although Da Bao was young, his facial features had gradually opened up. He was handsome and heroic. If he was matched with the body of an iron tower muscular man, it was really very out of place.
