Jing Chunxi stood in the corner of the cabin, his eyes fixed on the restless horses. The horses seemed to be extremely uneasy, having never experienced the dynamics of a large ship before, as they were entering the narrow cabin for the first time. They kicked and thrashed each other, trying to avoid the crowding and seeking a sense of security.

Several horses even squeezed into the middle of the cabin, jostling each other and making low neighing sounds.

Jing Chunxi noticed that although the horses were moving, the movements were not too loud. They seemed to be listless, their movements were a bit slow, and they didn't seem to have much strength in their kicks.

Jing Chunxi thought to herself that Ah Qi and Chong San must still be worried about her and had taken action first. She didn't believe that the horses hadn't been drugged, but the drug was just not very effective.

But it was a good thing to take precautions. Otherwise, if she hadn't gotten off, the conflict between the horses would have escalated. The old captain's concerns were not unnecessary; with so many horses, accidents could happen at any time.

The horse tying posts were at the four corners of the boat. There was no other way, so she had to untie the reins one by one.

She squatted down at the pillar closest to the door and began to try to untie the reins as quickly as possible. More than thirty horses meant more than thirty reins, each tied with several knots that needed to be carefully untied.

Jing Chunxi squatted for a long time, her feet starting to feel numb, before she finally managed to untie the two reins. She felt a little helpless, as it seemed like she wouldn't be able to do it anytime soon.

The horses were clearly frightened by her sudden intrusion, something unlike her. Their agitation grew more pronounced, and the entire cabin was filled with a tense atmosphere. Fortunately, the horses only kept whinnying, bumping into each other, or crowding around each other, without kicking or stamping with much force.

But Jing Chunxi was still worried that the noise would alert the guards outside. What worried her most was that if the boatmen heard the noise, they might doubt the credibility of their promise and might abandon the boat.

If she wasn't worried about having to explain herself later, she really wanted to take out her dagger, cut all the reins, and then put all the horses into the space with a wave of her hand. But her reason told her that doing so might bring more trouble.

Jing Chunxi had no choice but to put down her work and stand up. She used the space to place a large wooden basin in the four corners near the pillars where the horses were gathered, as well as in the two locations in the middle, and then filled the basin with well water from the space.

The light below the hold was dim, but the restless horses seemed to smell the scent of well water, their restlessness and impulsiveness instantly calmed. The horses stopped their restless movements, their feet stilled. After a moment's pause, they began to twitch their nostrils, then poked their heads out and stalked forward, each heading towards the water basin closest to them.

Soon, the horses had found the location of the water basin accurately. Once they saw the water, they ignored everything else and just lowered their heads to go in.

At first, the horses would touch each other, but for a bite of food, they would touch left and right, but they did not get angry with each other.

When they lowered their heads, they were very close to each other. From the initial crowding and touching, they slowly adjusted to find a position that suited everyone. Surprisingly, no fighting occurred, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. They completely forgot about Jing Chunxi, the intruder.

Seeing that the horses finally calmed down, Jing Chunxi felt a little relieved. The well water must be powerful enough.

After several large basins of water were drunk, all the reins were finally loosened. Jing Chunxi stood up, patted her hands, which were already slightly red, and with a wave of her hand, more than 30 horses were taken into the space, including the empty large wooden basins.

Looking at the empty bottom warehouse, Jing Chunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed into the space. She didn't know how the horse would behave in an unfamiliar environment, but she was still a little worried.

It takes time to adapt to an unfamiliar environment. As soon as the horses landed, they froze, their feet beginning to tread anxiously, appearing uneasy.

Looking out, I saw the blue sky, the blue stream, and the green grass. My originally dizzy nerves were immediately healed by the well water and fresh air.

They suddenly became excited and began to run in the space. Most of the horses ran to the stream first and nibbled the fresh green grass on the river bank.

After eating a few bites, they looked up and saw the rice straw still piled up in the rice fields after the harvest, and the green grass growing on the ridges of the fields. It seemed that the other side was more attractive, and then some horses tried to wade across the stream.

The stream was not deep to begin with. After several attempts, when the first horse bravely waded to the other side and enjoyed the beauty and richer food there alone, the other horses also became restless.

They all raised their heads and neighed loudly, then rushed to the other side one after another. The sound of "splash" and "splash" of birds falling into the water could be heard continuously in the stream.

The horses are in much better spirits than in the mortal world.
