Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Ma Jinhua's Bizarre Disappearance

After rectifying, Zhuo Changgen let out a roar, and galloped forward with the rest of the herdsmen. At this time, none of them could say that the horse was strong. In fact, the gallop just now had exhausted both the horse and the horse, but they still squeezed out every ounce of strength in their bodies and galloped forward. Zhuo Changgen was extremely anxious. Although he and Ma Jinhua had not spoken to each other all the time, his love for Ma Jinhua became more and more serious. This kind of love that was hard to express and buried deep in his heart made him feel extremely painful. At that time, although the twenty riders set off together, Zhuo Changgen quickly left the rest of them.

He galloped forward, worried, because he couldn't imagine what happened to the horses and Ma Jinhua in front of him, but he also had a secret wish in his heart. After catching up, as long as he saw Ma Jinhua, he would definitely To break the stalemate of many years, not only talk to her, but also hug her tightly. After galloping for nearly twenty miles without a trace of horses, Zhuo Changgen was already drenched in sweat. Looking forward, there were some undulating small hills in front of him. He picked a higher one. Gang, galloped up, and when he reached the hill, he was greatly relieved.

The group of horses, just in front of a piece of grass, looked very normal, some were chasing at small steps, some were gnawing grass with their heads down, and some were jumping on their feet.The herd of horses had already stopped, no wonder the sound of horseshoes could not be heard even when listening to the ground.Now that the horse herd has been brought under control, Ma Jinhua is naturally fine. Zhuo Changgen's heart was beating very violently. He looked back, but the others hadn't caught up. If there were too many people, his secret wish would be more difficult to realize. If he rushed down now, he would have a chance to be alone with Ma Jinhua. good time.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Changgen yelled excitedly, shook the reins, and rushed straight down the hill, at most two or three miles away, and rushed to the front all at once. When he was rushing down, he was already shouting loudly: "Golden flower! Golden flower!" He wanted to call out first, because he was really not sure whether he would have the courage to shout after seeing Ma Jinhua. He rode into the group of horses, causing a small commotion in the group of horses, and a dozen or so horses were rushed out by him, but they didn't go far and stopped. Zhuo Changgen saw Ma Jinhua's "Little White Dragon" at a glance. Although there were many white horses in the herd, there was none as white as this white horse. Under the sun, the little white dragon's All in white, it was dazzling, the little white dragon was gnawing on the grass with his head down, Zhuo Changgen rushed straight to the little white dragon, and only then reined in, he was still shouting: "Golden flower!"

He couldn't get an answer, which made him feel extremely discouraged for an instant. After so many years, he finally plucked up the courage to break the deadlock between him and Ma Jinhua, but he got no answer.Ma Jinhua didn't pay attention to him at all, maybe she was right behind him, sneering at him with her haughty expression, mocking him as a man, and what she said didn't count. The sweat on Zhuo Changgen's body suddenly turned into cold sweat. With Xiao Bailong here, Ma Jinhua must not be far away. She is lying on the grass?Zhuo Changgen turned around slowly, he didn't have the courage to meet Ma Jinhua, but he knew that this humiliation was inevitable.

However, he did not see Ma Jinhua. Unless Ma Jinhua hid on purpose, Zhuo Changgen would definitely be able to see her.The situation on the grass was clear at a glance, but he didn't see Ma Jinhua. The rest of the horsemen are galloping here, the sound of hooves can already be heard, and they are approaching quickly.Zhuo Changgen bit the bullet and said loudly: "Okay, I'm the loser, I'm the one who spoke to you first, where are you hiding, come out." His words have still not been answered. At this time, Zhuo Changgen didn't even think that Ma Jinhua would disappear. He thought that Ma Jinhua would not forgive him at all, and wanted him to make a big fight in front of many people.

He sighed, feeling very sad in his heart, he seemed to be stiff on the horse.He didn't stay in a daze for a long time, and the nineteen horse herders he had left behind had arrived one after another. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the herd of horses on the grass. Perhaps because they were too nervous just now, when they saw the herd of horses peacefully on the grass, one of the most important questions suddenly came up. , no one thought of it, until all the people were present, only one person suddenly remembered and asked loudly: "Hey, where is the Golden Flower girl?"

This question made everyone startled, and they looked at Zhuo Changgen together, because he was the first to arrive, so he should know where Ma Jinhua was.Zhuo Changgen avoided everyone's eyes and said in a stiff voice, "I don't know where she is." Everyone was stunned again, the awkwardness between Zhuo Changgen and Ma Jinhua was well known.Immediately, someone thought that Ma Jinhua might not want to be alone with Zhuo Changgen, so she avoided Zhuo Changgen as soon as he arrived.But those who think this way immediately know that their thinking is wrong, because Ma Jinhua won't go far because of Xiao Bailong's presence.

Little Bailong is Ma Jinhua's life, even at night, little Bailong is not in the stable, but outside her boudoir.Looking over the grass, there was no one to be seen. Several people shouted loudly, and several people rode forward to see if Ma Jinhua had reached a small river nearby. Ma Jinhua never showed up. At first, no one was nervous, but as time passed, Ma Jinhua still did not appear, and everyone felt that something was wrong.Especially Zhuo Changgen, he even grabbed the little white dragon's mane and asked loudly, "Where did Miss Jinhua go?" Little White Dragon's mouth moved—it's a pity that it can't speak, otherwise it would definitely tell where Ma Jinhua went.

Zhuo Changgen said in a deep voice, "Gather the horses together first, as long as four people are enough, and the rest come with me in groups of two." Find the Golden Flower girl." Sixteen riders rode out in eight different directions. Zhuo Changgen and a horse herder rode the farthest. Although they knew that Ma Jinhua would not go too far, they still rode for more than sixty miles before turning back. When they returned to the grassland, another thirty or twenty horse herders arrived. The sun was about to set, and everyone looked at each other: Ma Jinhua was still gone! This is simply impossible, making everyone feel like they are in a nightmare. Ma Jinhua is gone, her horse is here, and she is gone!

Zhuo Changgen was so anxious that he seemed crazy, and when the dusk was getting darker, he gave another order: "Let's look for it again, send someone to the ranch and report to the owner." The two set off immediately, Zhuo Changgen waited for dozens of people, and then scattered around, the sky quickly turned dark, and everyone was exhausted.But Ma Jinhua was nowhere to be found. These people would rather die of exhaustion than to keep looking for Ma Jinhua, and they cannot just let Ma Jinhua disappear. Zhuo Changgen returned to the grassland and lit several large bonfires. It was already past midnight and it was almost dawn.Ma Zuimu and several of his right-hand assistants had also arrived. There were at least one or two hundred people gathered around the campfire. The flames flickered and reflected on their anxious faces, but no one made a sound. Zhuo Changgen saw Ma Zuimu standing in front of the little white dragon, staring at the little white dragon like a clay sculpture. Zhuo Changgen got off his horse, took a deep breath, and came to Ma Zuimu's body. Ma Zuimu's voice was terribly low. For many years, Zhuo Changgen had never heard him speak in such a voice. Ask: "Where can Jinhua go?" He asked like this, then slowly raised his head and looked into the distance. He didn't know what he was looking at. The undulating mountain shadow in the distance looked very mysterious in the darkness. Zhuo Changgen felt as if something was stuck in his throat, if he could answer Ma Zuimu's question, that would be great. Zhuo Changgen didn't answer Ma Zuimu's question, but just how he chased him up. As soon as he got on the hill, he saw the passing of the horse herd. After he told it again, his voice seemed to be torn apart by some force, which sounded very weird. . He said: "When I rushed down, I kept calling her, the host, I decided to call her, but she was not there, I thought she couldn't hear... I was calling her." Ma Zuimu shook suddenly, his eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Boy, what do you mean by that?" Zhuo Changgen gave him a drink, but just stood upright without making a sound, Ma Zuimu yelled: "Jinhua will not die, she must have run away, where is she going, maybe we go back, she is already at home! " When he reached this point, he stopped abruptly, because he found that what he said, not to mention that others would not believe it, even he himself would not believe it at all. Where did Ma Jinhua go?The search started again, led by Ma Zuimu himself. Although Ma Zuimu was a little out of order due to the accident, he handled things in an orderly manner.He wanted Zhuo Changgen's group to rest on the grass, and he led the new arrivals to search. Ma Zuimu's search team did not return until noon.At this time, the news had spread quickly, and everyone who was related to Ma's Ranch in the vicinity rushed to this grassland.All the homing pigeons in Ma's ranch were released, and all the places connected with the ranch were notified to pay attention to Ma Jinhua's whereabouts. When Ma Zuimu came back at noon, his eyes were covered with red threads, looking very frightening. As soon as he got off his horse, he was surrounded by about twenty people, all of them knew their own status and could discuss matters with Ma Zuimu, while the rest stood far away. Ma Zuimu opened a jug of wine, stood there, and gulped down the wine, the wine flowing down the corner of his mouth.After he had had enough, he said, "Which group of bandits will the golden flower fall into?" Zhuo Changgen has also thought about this issue. Ma's Ranch and the gangsters in the vicinity once had a life-and-death struggle, and Ma's Ranch has always had the upper hand. Last year, the gang of bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain were killed by Ma Jinhua. Surprise soldiers raided and completely wiped out, and the bandits were terrified. How dare they make trouble within the sphere of influence of Ma's Ranch?So as soon as he thought about it, he immediately denied it. At this moment, he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid no bandit would dare." Ma Zuimu asked: "What about small stocks?" Zhuo Changgen said: "Ten or eight small groups of bandits, Miss Jinhua can handle them by herself." Everyone agrees with Zhuo Changgen's words, if Ma Jinhua wants to submit and be captured, there must be an earth-shattering fight, but Xiao Bailong and the horses are in good condition, there is no sign of a fight on the grass. Ma Zuimu smiled wryly. After this day and night, he seemed to be getting old. He had asked the same question countless times. At this time, he asked again: "Then, where did the golden flower go?" Where did Ma Jinhua go? All kinds of possibilities were raised, but none of them could be established. In the end, all kinds of news came: there was no trace of Ma Jinhua, and it was midnight again. , Everyone thought of it, but no one dared to say it. The most terrifying possibility, someone finally said it first. A horse shepherd asked in a trembling voice: "Would Miss Jinhua... be knocked down when the horses... were running fast?" After the wrangler made this point, the meadow was utterly silent except for the crackling crackle of the campfire.Ma Zuimu screamed first: "No!" Zhuo Changgen also called out: "No!" But after the two of them said "No", there was an extreme silence. Of course, no one wanted that to happen, but otherwise, nothing else seemed possible.And if this is the case, then Ma Jinhua's whole person may have already ceased to exist under the trampling of the horses. Thinking of this, Zhuo Changgen trembled involuntarily, but he still tried his best to calm down: "Okay, at dawn, let's go around and look for it, there is always something left—" What Zhuo Changgen meant was that even if Ma Jinhua had died tragically under the horse's hooves and was trampled to nothing by hundreds of galloping horses, there would still be something and signs left behind.But before he finished speaking, a person rushed over, and he was punched heavily in the face. That punch made him fall to the ground. When he jumped up, he could clearly see who was hitting him. When the horse was drunk, he didn't say a word, but silently wiped away the blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. Ma Zuimu said sharply: "No one is allowed to say that, Jin Hua will not die." He yelled that sentence, and this iron-clad, well-respected hero suddenly swayed, fell down, and passed out. Such a strong person, who is like a god, can't stand it!This was another unacceptable thing for the people around Ma Zuimu. Even his capable old subordinates panicked, but Zhuo Changgen was calmer, helping him up while commanding, Drizzle with cold water. Ma Zuimu woke up, Zhuo Changgen was in front of him, and his first words were: "Bring the wine!" A skin bag of spirits was passed into his hands, he tilted his neck up, gulped down the whole skin bag of wine in one breath, and then fixed Zhuo Changgen with his bloodshot eyes: "Chang Gen , you must get the golden flower back." Zhuo Changgen calmly agreed, although at this moment, he himself was in a state of confusion: "The owner of the racecourse, definitely, must get the golden flower back." Ma Zuimu said the third sentence: "Bring the wine." From that day on, Ma Zuimu seemed not to say anything else. He was in the drunkenness all day long, and it was rare for him to be sober for a moment. He always used eyes full of expectations, Looking at the people around him. No matter who is around him, they all know this bold, brave, upright and chivalrous man, and hope he can hear news about his daughter. Everyone hoped to bring good news to him, but Ma Jinhua disappeared without a trace. He exhausted all methods, no one knew how much bounty he had promised, no one knew how many people he had contacted, and no news at all. . Therefore, Ma Zuimu seldom wakes up for a moment, looking at everyone, no one dares to make eye contact with him, and everyone avoids his eyes.Therefore, Ma Zuimu also knew what was going on, so he would use his throat burnt by strong alcohol to hoarsely call: "Bring the wine." A person's pain can reach this level.Everyone knows that he loves his daughter, but it was only then that he realized how much he loves his daughter. As for Ma Jinhua's mother, she still didn't say a word. As long as she was awake, she used her delicate With a weak hand, he held Ma Zuimu's rough and thick hand, looked at her husband, and wept silently. Only once, she said a few words to Zhuo Changgen: "Changgen, this child Jinhua, knows how her father loves her, she will never come back for no reason, she... must be dead." At that time, Zhuo Changgen's pain was not as severe as that of a drunken horse. He replied emotionally: "No, Jinhua will not die." Jinhua's mother burst into tears: "If she didn't die and didn't come back, then she must have fallen into someone's hands. Poor Jinhua... Her father never did anything bad in his life..." Women are always like this, especially the rural women of that era, when they encountered tragic changes, they had no other way to vent their grief except to complain about their fate. That was something Zhuo Changgen didn't even dare to think about: the golden flower fell into the wrong hands!If a beautiful girl like Ma Jinhua falls into the hands of bad guys and loses the ability to resist, what will happen? Just thinking about it will drive people crazy!Zhuo Changgen yelled at that time: "No way! No way!" Ma Jinhua disappeared, Ma Zuimu didn't dare to face reality, and was intoxicated all day long. Most of the things in Ma's ranch fell on Zhuo Changgen. Zhuo Changgen hardly had a moment of free time from morning to night, but whenever he was free, he He would ride Xiaobailong to the grassland under the mound, stop, and talk to him for a long time, hoping that Xiaobailong could point him out and tell him where Ma Jinhua had gone. Of course, he got no answer. When Zhuo Changgen narrated this passage, he stretched out his hands, which were as big as palm-leaf fans, and covered his face.That happened three-quarters of a century ago, and he still couldn't hide the pain in his heart when he talked about it until now. You can see how much pain he endured at that time!Bai Su and I, before he started to tell us, he had already told us that Ma Jinhua had mysteriously disappeared for five years, and after five years, Ma Jinhua who had mysteriously disappeared appeared again. Why did Zhuo Changgen feel so hurt when he brought up the past?Could it be that after Ma Jinhua came back, things had another twists and turns? (If you tell a disappearance story, it seems that a person who mysteriously disappeared and reappeared five years later does not seem to be a good storytelling technique at the beginning, because there is no "suspense", and the result has already been known.) (However, Zhuo Changgen is not telling stories, he is telling his own experiences.) (Also, even if Zhuo Changgen is telling a story, he is still a master among the masters. He doesn’t try to imitate the mediocre ones. He deliberately tricks and creates suspense. He tells people the result early in the morning, but the people who listen What’s more, what happened five years later? What happened after Ma Jinhua reappeared? Where was she during these five years?) I was like this at the time, Zhuo Changgen suddenly covered his face with his hands and stopped, I don’t know how many questions I wanted to ask him, but Bai Su was at the side again, winking and gesticulating, telling me not to disturb, I was so anxious Scratching ears and cheeks, fidgeting. At this moment, Boss Bai walked in with a large bunch of grapes, saw Zhuo Changgen's situation, and said with a "hum": "The old guy is thinking about his first love again?" Zhuo Changgen didn't respond, but Bai Su tried to glare at her father.Boss Bai pointed at Bai Su and said with a smile: "The most touching part of his story is the pain of the horse farm owner after his daughter disappeared. Xiao Su, if you disappeared suddenly back then, I would do the same." Bai Su couldn't help laughing: "Where did you talk about?" I took the opportunity to ask: "Ma Jinhua has been missing for five years? Did she come back later? Where did she go?" Boss Bai said "Oh": "He hasn't talked about this yet, Xiao Wei, don't you think, the most peculiar point in his story is——" I hurriedly said, "I just want to know about Ma Jinhua—" Boss Bai also interrupted me: "Xiaowei, don't listen to him describe his little lover as heaven and earth, his little lover, that Ma Jinhua, is ninety-one years old this year." I want to argue a few words, but when I think about it, I can't argue clearly. I am indeed concerned about everything about Ma Jinhua because of Zhuo Changgen's narration.I had no choice but to say: "She...wasn't ninety-one years old at the time." Boss Bai made a grimace at Bai Su: "Xiao Su, tell me, what is the most peculiar thing?" Bai Su immediately said: "It's Mr. Zhuo's father." Boss Bai slapped it hard on the table: "Take a picture! His father came and went without a trace, and he has such great abilities. Xiao Su, who do you think he looks like?" When Boss Bai asked Bai Su like this, he squinted at me.Bai Su immediately said: "It's a bit like the aliens described by someone who likes to write and describe some weird events." Boss Bai let out a burst of laughter: "It's kind of like, it's just like that." The two of them, father and daughter, are teaming up and making fun of me like this. Apart from laughing along with them, am I always ashamed and angry?But I still said: "It's not impossible." Boss Bai laughed and said, "Of course it's possible. He, this old guy is the descendant of aliens and Mongols. Xiao Wei, I remember you recorded a story about aliens marrying and having children with earthlings?" I was a little helpless: "Yes, it is recorded in the story of 'Dead Change'." Boss Bai deliberately lowered his voice: "What happened to the alien bastard in the story?" I smiled wryly and looked at Zhuo Changgen. Zhuo Changgen was still covering his face with his hands and sitting motionless. I really lowered my voice: "That person...after knowing his identity...became incorrigible. madman." Boss Bai pointed at Zhuo Changgen again: "But the old guy is not crazy at all, you can take him as your research object." At this moment, Zhuo Changgen put down his hand abruptly, straightened his body, and shouted: "Xiaobai, have you finished farting yet?" Boss Bai stared: "Let me tell you, your father of unknown origin came from outer space. You didn't think of it at the time. Later, you studied a little bit hard, and you should understand now." Zhuo Changgen turned out to have "studied a little bit hard" later on. I know Boss Bai himself has multiple doctorate titles. He would say that a person who "studied a little hard" must have been very difficult. A long-term knowledge-seeking process. Zhuo Changgen shook his head: "From the first time you mentioned this to me, I didn't believe it, but I still made the most thorough examination, and the result is that my physical structure is completely normal." Boss Bai blinked: "Perhaps, the physical structure of the aliens is the same as that of the earthlings?" Zhuo Changgen seemed very angry. In this situation, it is inconvenient for me to express any opinions. Bai Su shook his head: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, listen to the old man." Boss Bai waved his hands: "I don't want to listen. His first love has been missing for five years. It's not unusual at all. There's nothing mysterious about it. He was captured by aliens." Zhuo Changgen let out a muffled roar and glared at Boss Bai.Boss Bai spread his hands indifferently.I was afraid that although the friendship between these two old people is strong, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts in this situation, so I hurriedly said: "It's better to listen to the old man." Mr. Bai laughed loudly: "I'm not dead, I'm not wrong, these two little kids will listen to your stories, oh! By the way, have you seen his piece of white jade?" Bai Su and I nodded together.Boss Bai's expression was no longer so silly. He tilted his head: "This piece of white jade is another very strange point. Such pure white jade is extremely rare in ancient times. Once found, ordinary people dare not keep it. It was dedicated to the monarch at that time, and it was something in the court." I said: "Even if it belonged to the monarch at that time, it has been handed down to this day, and it is nothing special." Bai Lao Dao: "I have spent a lot of time studying this piece of white jade. The carving was completed 2,200 years ago, probably during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the era of Qin Shihuang. Moreover, this piece of white jade has never been buried in the soil, and has always been in the hands of living people. According to legend, this is quite rare. Generally speaking, such beautiful jade will be buried with him, because the ancients believed that beautiful jade would bring good luck to the soul of the dead. Also, it is engraved with tiger-shaped patterns. If the monarch wears it himself, it will not Tiger-shaped patterns are engraved, and most of them are carved with dragon-shaped patterns or Kui-shaped patterns." I spread my hands and said, "I don't see any great effect in researching this piece of white jade." Boss Bai pointed to his right forehead: "This is my judgment, Xiaowei. Although I am old, my brain has not degenerated. I feel that this piece of white jade is an important key." I didn't say anything more, but I didn't take Boss Bai's words for granted.I glanced at Bai Su, Bai Su was frowning and thinking. (Later, it turned out that Boss Bai's words were very reasonable. That piece of jade, which seemed to have nothing to do with the whole thing, was a major key to the whole thing.) Boss Bai stretched out his hand and patted Zhuo Changgen on the shoulder: "There is nothing wrong with being the son of aliens and earthlings. There are many sayings that all kinds of gods are all kinds of aliens. Then, you He is the son of God." Zhuo Changgen waved his hands: "Go! Hot hot hot hot" Boss Bai raised his hands and stepped back: "Don't you think that you are already ninety-three years old and still so strong, and this alone is already different from the physical condition of people on Earth?" Zhuo Changgen snorted: "There are many people over a hundred years old, what's so strange about it." At this time, I was really puzzled in my heart. Although Boss Bai's words were said in a joking tone, if you think about it carefully, it may not be completely unreasonable. Zhuo Changgen's father, who came from an alien, passed away after living on the earth for ten years. This is a very simple and acceptable explanation!Why is he particularly good at raising horses?It can also be said that the people on that planet can raise horses at all. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Bai Su said just now: "It looks like an alien described by someone who likes to write...." Although this kind of thinking is possible, it is too regular . Although many things in the universe cannot escape one or more laws, wouldn't it be better if they could escape? Boss Bai pointed to the grapes on the table and gestured for us to taste them, then he turned and walked away. Zhuo Changgen looked at his back and sighed: "He's not joking, you see, my father is really an alien?" This question is not very difficult to answer, I blurted out: "It is possible." Bai Su took a breath: "I think, I can only say that he is very mysterious, his origin is unknown, his whereabouts are unknown, and he cannot be said to be from another planet." Zhuo Changgen smiled wryly: "Actually, I don't care, since most of my life has passed anyway." Bai Su said: "Yes, what will happen to Ma's Ranch in the future?" Zhuo Changgen shook his head slowly: "As time goes by, anyone who has news about Ma Jinhua can get a huge bonus, and it is still valid. There is also a lot of confusion during the period. I will also send someone to report the news indiscriminately." Checked, but there has been no result." At this point, he paused before continuing: "Until five years later——" Although it has been five years, no one in the ranch has forgotten Ma Jinhua's disappearance. On that day, all activities in the ranch stopped, and everyone missed Ma Jinhua in silence. Every year on this day, Zhuo Changgen rode the little white dragon to leave the pasture as usual, and galloped along the route where the horses were herding. On the day when the incident happened, everything happened, to Zhuo Changgen, it was like it just happened yesterday. All the scenes of that day flashed in his mind, from the moment when the horses started running, until he saw the stationary horses .Every time he was on this road, he had to ask thousands of times: "What happened? What happened?" Now, although five years have passed and Xiao Bailong has grown up, he is considered an old horse as a good horse, but when he gallops, he is still a steed, and he gallops extremely fast without needing to be urged. Zhuo Changgen came to the grass, got off the horse, and let the little white dragon nibble the grass freely. He lay down on the soft grass with his arms as a pillow, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. His thoughts were very disordered. At that time, he was already a young man, strong and capable, and the entire Ma's Ranch was completely in charge of him.The unmarried girls with a radius of thousands of miles saw him, and although they blushed and their hearts beat, they would definitely not avoid his gaze, let him take a good look at it, there is no girl who is unwilling to marry this young man.Girls who are more flirtatious by nature even openly seduce him and tease him. But Zhuo Changgen is indifferent to all the girls, he only has one person in his heart, a person who has disappeared, Ma Jinhua. At this time, he closed his eyes and thought of Ma Jinhua again.At this moment, he suddenly heard a whistle. The whistle was very sweet, Zhuo Changgen's heart jumped when he heard it, and before he could open his eyes, he heard Xiao Bailong hiss again. This time, Zhuo Changgen had no doubts anymore. He would imagine the whistling sound, but Xiao Bailong would not. He jumped up suddenly, first jumped up, and then opened his eyes. Running forward, there is a tall woman with flying long hair, dressed in white, who is rushing forward quickly, the man and the horse are combined together at once, when the man is on the horse's back, the horse neighs louder and louder, like a whirlwind , swept forward. Zhuo Changgen couldn't see clearly, his eyes were wide open, he didn't even dare to blink, although the people and horses had already galloped away, he still stared straight at him. Who is that girl right now, not Ma Jinhua? I haven't seen her for five years. She seems to be taller and more mature. Although she was just a glimpse when people and horses passed by, he was absolutely sure that it was Ma Jinhua, that was Ma Jinhua! He didn't know how long he had been in a daze, but it seemed that there was only one little white dot left between Xiaobailong and Ma Jinhua, so he suddenly called out and ran forward. Running with human power, it is impossible to catch up with Xiaobailong, Zhuo Changgen desperately ran forward, shouting, Xiaobailong was already out of sight, and he was still running forward. When he ran until his chest almost exploded from panting, he was still running forward. And at this moment, the little white dot reappeared in his vision blurred by sweat. Little Bai Longchi is back. Zhuo Changgen stopped, his heart was beating almost out of his body, his heart was beating not because of the running just now, but because he was afraid that when the little white dragon ran back, Ma Jinhua would not be on its back. He couldn't help wiping the sweat off his face so that his vision could be clearer. Finally, he saw clearly that the man and the horse came back together, and Ma Jinhua was still on the horse. Xiaobailong went and came quickly, rolled up in front of him at once, Ma Jinhua reined in the horse, and looked at him obliquely from the horse, so bright and beautiful, Zhuo Changgen opened his mouth wide and closed his eyes. Not close.The two looked at each other for a while, before Zhuo Changgen exhausted all his strength and called out: "Golden Flower." Ma Jinhua also stared at Zhuo Changgen, on the tip of her nose, there were tiny beads of sweat oozing out, reflecting the sunlight, shining like tiny pearls. She didn't stay for long, and she called out: "Long Root, it's you!" At that moment, Zhuo Changgen seemed to have collapsed, shaking, dazzled for a while, and fell down uncontrollably. Ma Jinhua, who was on the horse, uttered a low cry, "Chang Gen!" Zhuo Changgen had already fallen down, but Ma Jinhua's cry gave him the strength to support him again. He propped his hands on the ground, and the sweat dripped down his forehead in big drops. He gritted his teeth and stood upright. Straightening up and standing up again, Ma Jinhua dismounted too. Zhuo Changgen looked at her and said a thousand words, but he really didn't know where to start. Ma Jinhua also looked like he didn't know what to say. After a while, she said: "Little Bailong... these days, Still tough." Zhuo Changgen smiled bitterly: "It's just difficult for the owner of the racecourse. In the past five years, he has been almost immersed in wine." Ma Jinhua turned her head slightly, and murmured: "Five years, really, five years!" Zhuo Changgen took a step forward, urgently and reproachfully: "Jinhua, you──" But he only said three words, and Ma Jinhua made a gesture to stop him from shouting any more. She raised her head and looked into the distance.Zhuo Changgen followed her line of sight, except for the continuous mountain shadow in the distance, there was nothing particularly worth seeing. Zhuo Changgen waited patiently. After a while, Ma Jinhua paused every word, and said slowly: "Don't ask me, don't ask me anything, if you ask, I won't say anything." Zhuo Changgen suddenly said: "How can you not tell me? Where have you been for the past five years?" The first question Zhuo Changgen asked was what everyone wanted to ask after seeing Ma Jinhua again.But Ma Jinhua just smiled lightly: "Chang Gen, do you want us to stop talking again?" Zhuo Changgen was startled, and hurriedly said: "No, no, of course not..." Ma Jinhua's voice became very gentle. In Zhuo Changgen's memory, he had never heard Ma Jinhua speak in such a tone: "Then, just listen to me and don't ask me any more questions." Zhuo Changgen stared at Ma Jinhua in a daze. He found a mature and more sensible look on Ma Jinhua's face. She had grown up, a twenty-one-year-old girl.Although her temper is still so stubborn, she has grown up after all. For a moment, Zhuo Changgen didn't know what to say, but Ma Jinhua kept waiting for Zhuo Changgen's answer with her gentle and mature eyes.After a while, Zhuo Changgen said: "Okay, I won't ask. If I don't ask, there will be people who will ask, and the owner of the racecourse must ask." Ma Jinhua frowned: "I'll tell him not to ask, what's the use of asking? I'm already back, that's the most important thing! Do you want me back, or do you want to find out where I have been for the past five years?" Zhuo Changgen swallowed, his heart full of doubts, but he really didn't ask any more, Ma Jinhua took a deep breath: "Let's go back. Only Xiaobailong? Are there no other horses?" Zhuo Changgen shook his head, Ma Jinhua got on his horse and stretched out his hand to Zhuo Changgen. Only Xiaobailong had a horse, so she invited Zhuo Changgen to ride with him.Zhuo Changgen's heart was beating wildly. He stood there for a while, and then he shrugged and got on the horse, riding behind Ma Jinhua.The front of his body suddenly seemed to be approaching a stove, or it seemed that his own body was about to spew out fire. 马金花却若无其事，抖缰策马，向前驰去，驰出了没有多远，就遇上了一群在放牧中的马，马金花回头向卓长根看了一眼，卓长根立时会意，就在小白龙的背上，换到了另一匹马的背上。 当他们两人一直向前，遇到马群和牧马人，所有的牧马人，一看到马金花回来，立时放下了一切，发出近乎哽咽的欢呼声，一齐跟在后面。 所以，他们驰进马氏牧场的大栅门，并不是只有马金花和卓长根两人，而是已经汇成了一支上百的马队。 自进牧场，马金花和所有人打着招呼，看到她的人都傻了眼，正在洗马的，把水泼到了自己的身上，正在锄草的，几乎没把自己的手锄了下来，人人都放下了手头的事，围了上来。 整个马氏牧场，简直就像是开了锅的沸水，呼叫声此起彼落，所有人都毫无目的地狂叫，叫的是甚么，连发出呼叫声的人自己都不知道。他们只是要表示心中的欢乐，要把五年来的哀痛、屈辱，在狂呼大叫之中，一起发泄。 马金花和卓长根来到了房舍之前，惊天动地的呼叫声，早已把马醉木和他的老手下惊动，两人扶着马醉木走了出来。 马醉木已经有好久没有见阳光了，他苍白的皮肤在阳光下显得可怜的瑟缩，他的双眼，眯成了一道缝，躲避着阳光，但是他又竭力想把眼睛睁得大些。他不断望向左，又望向右，用发颤的声音问：“金花回来了？金花回来了？” 本来是铁塔一样的一条壮汉，这时就像是风中残烛。 所有人在那一霎间，一起静了下来，马金花自马上跃下，张大了口，可是也发不出声音，泪水自她眼中，滚滚涌出。 她的脚步有点踉跄，一下子扑到了她父亲的身前，紧紧伏在她父亲的身上，叫：“爹，是我，金花！” 马醉木的身子剧烈发抖，口张老大，可是自他口中喷出来的只是浓冽的酒气，他一点声音也发不出，只听到他由于身子剧烈的颤动，而令得骨节相搓的“格格”声。 不少人激动地奔向前，大声叫：“马场主，是金花姑娘回来了。” 马醉木直到这时，才像是火山迸发一样地叫：“金花。”
