He and It

I'm going to be free, it thought, I'm almost going to be free!

Yu Mengzhou patted its belly and told it to stand up straight: "Good boy, hold on a little longer."

He broke off the other front hoof, followed the method of repairing the first one, clipped off the copper pipe, pulled out the flesh-sucking spikes, and then loosened the curse nails... All steps were advanced in an orderly manner, and his movements were smooth and smooth. Skillfully and naturally, without any pretense or cumbersome embellishment, things just happened, like a breeze, like a river heading into the distance.

The demon horses watching were stunned, maybe they would never get tired of watching this process.

The human had no time to wipe away his sweat. He looked serious, sometimes smiling relaxedly, sometimes frowning worriedly. In the simple cave, the hoof trimmer jingled and waved his shiny tools, radiant with his wholehearted devotion.

In contrast, the master craftsmen who profess to master the secrets of suffering wander around luxurious palaces, each pretending to be an artist of dominion over torture. They are dressed in gold and complicated attire, and are surrounded by a large number of obsequious dogs and horses, but they are not even as good as a drop of sweat flowing from human temples - at least the sweat is purer and more moving, and it falls from the corners of human eyes. .

All the copper pipes restraining the horses were pinched off, and the cursed nails fell clumsily to the ground. Four tattered but completely free and loose horse hooves appeared in front of Yu Mengzhou.

He let out a long breath. Although there was not much medicine left, he couldn't save what he shouldn't. Yu Mengzhou still squeezed out a sufficient amount of ointment, put it into the hole with a knife and spread it evenly, and then tied it tightly with a bandage.

"Okay!" He ordered smoothly, "Don't get water on the wound, and don't do strenuous exercise to avoid it opening again. I'll open it up and take a look in two days..."

Gao Er was panting heavily with excitement. The ecstasy completely occupied its mind and made it abandon its unnecessary arrogance and reserve. The demon horse arched its head into Yu Mengzhou's arms and closed its eyes tremblingly.

"...Ouch!" The force was really extraordinary. Before he could finish his words, Yu Mengzhou fell to the ground. The horses were all frightened and nervous, worried that humans would be angry because of this.

Yu Mengzhou hugged the big horse's head and smiled.

"Ouch," he laughed, avoiding the messy thorns and barbs on the horse's bit and reins, and skillfully stroked the magic horse's nose. His arms went around the back, and he tried hard to scratch the horse's ears and the mane on its forehead.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, everything will be okay in the future..."

As he spoke, he pinched the copper ring locked on the nostril cartilage and asked softly: "When you have time again, can I help you take this off, okay?"

"You...you don't have to do this at all," Gao Er whispered, trying his best not to let the longing in his words highlight how tragic it was, "You have already removed the cursed nails, we can..."

"I want to do this," Yu Mengzhou touched its bright red sweat and told it firmly, "Nothing else, I think."

Gao Er lay on the ground, trembling helplessly in his arms. There was no smell of fear, no smell of hatred and curse, it could only smell such happiness, such a soft and fluffy breath. It can even be said that human beings are very fragrant, the kind of fragrance that satisfies its hungry soul.

It rubs against the exposed skin of human beings, like a desert traveler drinking from the clear spring, swaying back and forth in Yu Mengzhou's arms to his heart's content.

The horses stared at them blankly, and Falce waited quietly for a long time before blowing out a breath of hot, sparkling air.

The Blood Butcher first glanced at the leader, then turned around openly, walked up to Gao Er, and lowered his head to take a bite of its back like a surprise.

"I want to see the hooves too!" it shouted confidently, "I should... that word means re-examination, I should re-examine!"

Gao Er trembled all over, and the peaceful time was suddenly broken. It raised its head in extreme annoyance, spit out its long blood-red tongue, and hissed to threaten its companions.

"Ah," Yu Mengzhou smiled, "You're right! I fell down that day and forgot to see how you were doing..."

He patted Gao Er's head and asked softly: "Get up? It's time for me to give it another look, and so are you. I'll take off the bandage when the time comes."

The tall horse's ears fell back and it grinned unhappily, but since Yu Mengzhou said so, it could only raise its head from the human embrace unhappily, stand aside, and sulk at the rock wall. .

Yu Mengzhou cut off the bandage that had become dark and worn, and raised a horseshoe to take a closer look.

It is indeed a magic horse, and its recovery ability is truly amazing. An ordinary horse might need to nurse a wound for several months or even longer. It had only been two days and it was already so healed that it was almost invisible.

The hoof walls and soles that were eaten away like honeycombs have been completely repaired, and the cuticle is also dense and dense. When you knock it with a hoof knife, you can barely hear the sound of residual pus and blood...

Yu Mengzhou decided to take a look. He guided the blood butcher to pad the legs, outline the fork of the hoof with a circular knife, cut the sole of the hoof flat with a hoof trimming knife, and then use pliers to cut off the edge.

The pitch-black hooves fell down one after another, and Yu Mengzhou was surprised: "It's really good?"

Not to mention the situation of the Blood Butcher that day, even the rotten hooves of the brown horse that Yu Mengzhou repaired that day required the hoof trimmer to check on the condition every other week. It would take at least a month for the maggot-eaten hooves to heal.

Sure enough, they are not creatures of the earth, he sighed in his heart.

"I don't..." The Blood Butcher was about to say, "I don't think there is any problem." Then he thought about it and changed his words urgently, "I don't know what is good and what is bad. You also know that we have been imprisoned for too long. …”

Hearing its low tone, Yu Mengzhou hurriedly stepped forward and touched the demon horse's neck soothingly: "Based on my experience, you are really well."

He hesitated for a moment: "It's just... you may need to put some shoes on, so it might be easier for you to run."

He didn't dare to say "nail" for fear of stirring up any bad memories.

I don't know when, Falce has quietly come closer. It lowered its head and touched Yu Mengzhou's shoulder with its lips, fading away the burning evil fire. Its mane was soft and warm, gently brushing against human skin. Cheeks.
