Of course, Mo Henian was just scaring Yang Yi. This was his son-in-law's first visit, and he didn't really ask Yang Yi to herd cows or do farm work. In fact, Mo Henian took Xi Xi for a stroll during the day and came back to play with Tong Tong at night. He had so much fun that he didn't have time to make things difficult for Yang Yi.
"Xi Xi, Grandpa will take you to ride a horse today, okay?" The next morning, Mo Henian suggested with a smile. "This year, Grandpa bought a batch of ponies. Your Grandpa Ford has already trained them. You can go and pick a pony that you like."
"Really?" The little girl looked at her grandfather in surprise. Xi Xi also liked horses because they looked very beautiful. Compared to other livestock except for little sheep, horses with big faces and elegant "long hair" were more in line with Xi Xi's aesthetic standards.
"Really!" Mo Henian nodded affirmatively and looked serious. "There are all kinds of colors. Grandpa wanted to help you pick one, but I think you'll find one that you like!"
"Ride a horse?" Murphy heard and said hesitantly, "Dad, if you want to teach Xi Xi how to ride a horse, it's best to let Yang Yi watch over her."
Although Murphy had learned how to ride a horse from Mo Henian before, Xi Xi was still young after all. Murphy still trusted Yang Yi.
"Why do you want him? Is your old man too old to lead a horse? "Mo Henian felt a sense of distrust and asked angrily with a glare.
But in the end, Mo Henian still brought Yang Yi with him. They went to the stable together with Xi Xi.
In the past, Mo Henian's farm didn't raise ponies. The horses that the cowboys rode were all adult horses. However, the price of horses had been rising in the past two years, so Mo Henian bought a batch of ponies to raise them and sell them for a good price!
"Wow, so many horses. But, but Grandpa, why aren't there any ponies?" Xixi walked into the very clean stable. She was both happy and scared. She held her father's hand tightly and looked at the tall horses in the pen one after another. Compared to her small stature, these horses were all very tall!
"These are all ponies. They're only a little over a year old and haven't matured yet!" Mo Henian explained.
Yang Yi could tell that these horses were indeed still very small. From their appearance, they were one size smaller than adult horses. Their bodies were also thinner and weaker. They did not have the muscular feeling of adult horses!
When someone arrived, these young ponies came over curiously.
Xi Xi looked at these "behemoths" and held her father's hand, not daring to get close. However, Xi Xi soon saw her grandfather holding a long carrot and walking towards a yellow pony.
The little girl's eyes widened. She was surprised to see the yellow pony snorting softly and coming over. It first sniffed, then opened its mouth and ate the carrot that her grandfather handed to it.
Mo Henian stroked its forehead, but the yellow-fat pony did not respond. It only cared about eating.
"Is it fun?" Mo Henian turned around and smiled at Xi Xi. He encouraged, "Xi Xi, do you want to try too?"
"But I'm scared. I'm scared that it will bite me." Xi Xi looked at the pony eating the carrot with envy, but the fear in her heart did not disappear.
The current situation was that they did not know who was watching. A group of ponies gathered in front of the stable, breathing heavily as if they had smelled the carrot. They paced around restlessly. Although horses had poor eyesight, the way they raised their heads and looked at the humans was as if they were the spectators.
Under Mo Henian's encouragement, Xi Xi finally mustered her courage. Holding a carrot, she walked towards a white pony. However, she wanted her father to hold her other hand. With her father by her side, she would have some confidence to approach these behemoths.
Feeding a horse was a magical feeling!
Especially when this white pony used a pair of gentle and weak eyes to "look" at her. Xi Xi felt her little heart pounding.
She liked it a lot, but she was also a little scared!
"Why is it looking at me? Does it like me too? "Xi Xi mumbled softly.
"That's right! It likes you too, "Yang Yi said gently.
The white pony opened its mouth and bit the carrot with its thick lips. Although they were far away, Xi Xi was still frightened and hurriedly dropped the carrot.
Before the carrot fell out of the stable, the white pony had already caught it in its mouth. It ate it with relish.
"Papa, it ate the carrot I gave it!" Xi Xi did not feel regretful. Instead, she turned her head to look at her father happily.
"You try to touch it too!" Yang Yi demonstrated. He gently touched the pony's forehead to encourage the little girl.
Xi Xi mustered her courage and timidly touched the big long face. However, there was no problem. The white pony chewed on the carrot and did not forget the person who dug the well while drinking water. It even obediently came over and let the little girl touch it.
"Wow!" Xi Xi did not know how to describe it. Her face was full of joy. The feeling of touching a pony was wonderful. She also felt a sense of accomplishment when she overcame her fear!
…
At the same time, in California, in the OK city across the sea from San Francisco, several people carrying cameras approached a bearded man who had just gotten out of a car and was about to walk to his house.
The person in the lead said, "Germaine Lee, you need to start running away immediately!"
This was not a Chinese person. In the United States, Lee was also a relatively common surname. Germaine Lee was also a white man.
"So sudden?" The man who looked to be in his forties was a little surprised. However, he did not waste any time. He quickly quickened his pace and ran home.
At his house, his partner, Hill, was also notified. Hill was younger than Germaine. He was Germaine's relative and was temporarily living with Germaine.
"You two have one hour. After one hour, the hunters will start chasing after you!" The visitor said ruthlessly.
Germaine and Hill did not say anything. Before this, they already knew the rules of the game. So, they quickly packed up their things and said goodbye to their families.
After that, Germaine and Hill got into the car that they had prepared. With only one cameraman, they hurriedly left the OK city.
Yes, it looked like they were running away. In fact … they were indeed running away.
There was a hunter team made up of more than thirty experienced investigators from intelligence agencies, retired police officers, retired special forces and other tracking experts. They would be tracking them down from every nook and cranny for the next twenty-eight days!
Of course, this was just an American reality show called 'Undercover Tracking'. This show had just been designed, and this was only the first season of the show.
It was different from the reality show that Yang Yi and the rest produced. The American reality show did not invite any celebrities. Instead, it was completely composed of ordinary people. So, Germaine and Hill were also ordinary people!
Germaine owned an escape room game shop. Hill was an ordinary university student. However, they would still try their best to fight against the professional hunters.
This was because if they could escape from the hunters' pursuit in twenty-eight days, they would also be rewarded with 250,000 dollars!
They were not alone. Other than that, there were eight other groups of fugitives. Everyone had started their escape journey.
Of course, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Yang Yi who was far away on a small farm in Texas.
