After closing the door, Zhou Mingshu took off his pants and took a look.

There is no skin breakage, just a little redness and swelling.

I have to apply some medicine after taking a shower, otherwise it will be worse after training tomorrow.

The food he had eaten at noon had long been digested, and Zhou Mingshu couldn't hold on until dinner time.

He took half a steamed bun and sat aside to eat it.

"Saya, if you're hungry, go find a place to have a proper meal."

"Alright."

It’s not like there’s no food at home. Just bring in any dish to fill your stomach.

Zhou Mingshu had dinner early and was busy packing up after dinner, hoping to go home early today.

Riding a horse is really tiring. Most of her energy for the day has been used up, and she urgently needs sleep to replenish her strength.

……

In this way, Zhou Mingshu and Lightning would take a few laps around the horse farm every day.

You know what, Lord Qi's 'companion training' is really good.

After a few days of contact, she was no longer so afraid of the horse, and even liked this horse quite a bit.

"Master Qi, why don't we try running today? I can't wait any longer."

Zhou Mingshu suggested happily.

"Okay, that's what I meant. But there's a difference between walking and running. If you run, the range of motion will be greater. For your safety, I'd better go get another horse."

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Mingshu agreed crisply.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and her clothes are getting thinner, she really doesn't want to ride with adults anymore.

Now one person riding a horse is very much to her liking.

She thought her behavior was not that obvious, but in fact Qi Rui beside her saw all her little movements.

"Girl, I think you're just hoping I'll leave soon."

"You are joking, my Lord. How dare Mingshu?"

Qi Rui tilted his head slightly, his eyes so bright that they almost glowed.

"Not yet. I saw it all just now."

Zhou Mingshu couldn't get away with it now.

"Mingshu just feels a little hot now, but I don't mean to dislike you, it's just that your temperature is too high."

Zhou Mingshu was talking so wildly that Qi Rui's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue learning the following movements. I hope you can learn to ride a horse soon so that I can take you out for a run and get some fresh air. The scenery on horseback is still better than on the ground."

"Okay, I can't wait either."

After Zhou Mingshu finished speaking, he tightened the reins, and Lightning below started to trot.

Qi Rui, who was standing by, was extremely nervous and said, "Be careful, don't run too fast."

He raised the whip in his hand and followed closely.

"You are getting more and more daring. You dare to run without waiting for me to teach you. Aren't you afraid that the lightning will knock you down?"

"My Lord, don't worry. Lightning and I have become very close now. It will definitely not want me to get hurt."

Zhou Mingshu was somewhat confident and courageous, so he tried to run.

Qi Rui just asked her to relax and let her body adapt to the rhythm of the horse.

"Don't be too tense, or your back will hurt later."

Zhou Mingshu kept the key points in mind and gave his body to Lightning.

She finally ran!

No matter in her past life or this life, she longed to ride a horse.

Whether it is galloping on the grassland or running in the fields and countryside, it is something she wants to try very much.

What she failed to do in her previous life, she has now accomplished here!

It would be a lie for Zhou Mingshu to say that he had no feelings.

She turned her head and looked at Qi Rui beside her, with a hint of warmth in her eyes.

"What? Are you crying because of excitement? Why are your eyes so light?"

Qi Rui stopped the horse and helped Zhou Mingshu down from the horse.

They came to a meadow and sat down, quietly admiring the colorful clouds in the evening.

"Sir, you don't understand how incredible it is for us rural girls to learn to ride a horse. Looking around, every family is focusing on the boys in the family. Many girls have to burn incense and pray to Buddha just to have three meals a day."

"I am relatively lucky. My family was poor only in the past two years. In the past two years, we have been doing various jobs to make a living. That's why we bought a donkey and a pig. Now I have learned to ride a horse. We can have another horse in the future, which will make it more convenient for us to do things."

"Time is money, efficiency is life. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Once the roads are built, you must improve your means of transportation. Now we have a better start."

Zhou Mingshu was so moved that he shed tears when he thought of the bright future.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I had been talking so much that I scared Lord Qi.

She wiped the tears from her face and looked up at Lord Qi again.

Qi Rui looked at the girl in front of him, his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be an unremovable sadness between his eyebrows.

She was already so talented, but she still shed tears the moment she learned how to ride a horse.

"Mingshu, if there is anything you want to learn, I can teach you."

Qi Rui is not good at comforting people. He thought about it and said this.

Zhou Mingshu was successfully amused.

"Sir, what do you know? I want to hear if there is anything I want to learn."

Seeing her face relax, Qi Rui also smiled.

"What can I do?" Qi Rui thought seriously.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and this is also what he is good at.

"I can teach you martial arts. Dancing with swords and knives is a piece of cake. Besides this, I can also do archery and wrestling..."

Zhou Mingshu listened to the whole process but didn't find anything interesting, so he kept shaking his head.

Qi Rui became less and less confident as he spoke, and it seemed that girls were not interested in what he knew.

"I think it's better to forget it. I'm a rough guy, wielding swords and guns every day, which is really not suitable for a little girl like you."

Zhou Mingshu smiled and said, "How could that be? Learning a little martial arts can not only strengthen your body, but also protect you from being bullied by others. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely learn it. But now that I am stronger, it is not easy to practice. Besides, I don't have time. I am almost exhausted from work all day long. It is rare for me to have any free time."

Besides, no one is so blind as to dare to come here.

Qi Rui thought so too. With him around, who would dare to bully her?

"Mingshu, when is your birthday?"

Qi Rui said this out of the blue, and Zhou Mingshu was a little surprised.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Is your birthday coming soon? How are you going to celebrate it?"

"My birthday is in the winter month, so it's still early. I just thought of it and asked casually."

Zhou Mingshu nodded thoughtfully, "My birthday should be about the same as yours, also in winter."

Qi Rui raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence! I will definitely ask you for a birthday gift when the time comes!"
