Lin Ci could not help but laugh. “She’s so stubborn even when she was young.” Lu Jingzhi rode past on a pony and retorted unhappily, “Sister isn’t stubborn.”
Lin Ci lowered her eyes at him. “Oh? And how long have you known your sister? She’s real stubborn when it comes to things she cares about—you’ll learn it when you get to really know her.”
Lu Jingzhi pouted. Lin Ci looked at him and laughed. “Don’t believe me, huh?
You’d better not provoke your sister. If someone really rubs her the wrong way she becomes really obstinate; n.o.body will be able to persuade her. When it comes down to that she’ll even ignore you.” Lu Jingzhi replied, “There’s no way.”
However, he still kept these words in his mind.
The horse trainer could not restrain his laughter when he heard the two of them quibbling. As he laughed, he looked at Lu Jingzhi and said, “Little kid, trust this lady when she says your sister is really stubborn.”
Hearing this, Lin Ci’s interest was piqued. She laid flat on the horse’s back and looked at the horse trainer. “Do you have a lot of stories from when she’s younger? Quick, tell me about them.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at Lin Ci seriously. “Sister Ci, you shouldn’t ask about others behind their backs.”
Lin Ci clicked her tongue. “What do you know? I’m just concerned about my good friend.”
Laughing, the horse trainer looked at the two of them. “I actually have quite a number of them, but there’s one which is particularly interesting. We still find it funny when we think back on it nowadays.”
“Oh! What is it?”
Lin Ci could not help but probe, and Lu Jingzhi could not help but p.r.i.c.k his ears up.
The two horse trainers looked at each other; they pulled their horses along as they strolled leisurely on the side. “When Linlang first arrived, he had a bad temper and often fought with the other horses…”
“Horses will fight too?”
“Of course. They aren’t that different from people. Animals have tempers too.”
“Hahaha, so what happened next?”
The horse trainer continued, “Linlang has a bad temper and is also aggressive, so not many horses can beat him; but later on, an even more aggressive horse came. when the two of them went out together for their walks, they started fighting. No one could hold them back—the horse trainer even got kicked twice and didn’t dare to go over.
“In the end, the young Miss Lu came over and subdued Linlang, and the other horse stopped. However, Linlang’s body was bleeding all over from bites, and Miss Lu’s heart ached for him. She was so upset that she proclaimed she was going to castrate that other horse, but it turned out to be a mare?’
Hearing this, Lin Ci could not help but laugh.
“And what happened next?”
“Well, later on Miss Lu found that horse an eyesore and often wanted to find trouble with it. However, that horse began to recognize her and refused to let her get close. After trying to approach her a few more times, she did not try anything else again. Afterwards, we thought she had forgotten all about that matter. We always separated Linlang from that mare and never let them out together.
However, after a long time, Miss Lu told us that she was here to see the horses and told us not to worry about her. So we went to serve the other guests, but not long after we heard a lot of neighing from the stables; many of the horses were neighing all at the same time. We were shocked and thought that something had happened, so we rushed over to the stalls—however, there we saw Miss Lu throwing something into the mare’s stall.
Only after the incident did we learn that those were firecrackers; who knows where she’d gotten them, but she threw a fair few into the mare’s stall. All the other horses were yelping in fright; that mare was also making a ruckus, but partly out of disgust.
She was particular about cleanliness, and Miss Lu’s firecrackers had caused horse dung to splatter all over her. Miss Lu did it on purpose and had not hurt the mare, but she angered it so much that it charged out of the stall chasing after her! So she had to escape, and while running away she was also cursing and yelling at that mare.
It was all because she still bears a grudge against her for biting Linlang..”
