“Weier——!”
Outside the courtyard of the two-story Western-style building, Gantz was dressed in festive attire, riding on a tall maroon horse, holding the reins in his hands and looking up and shouting to the second floor.
Compared to his childhood, his wheat-colored skin has become darker, emitting a sunshine-like health and vitality. His eyes are as bright as stars, sparkling with spirit.
The magpie feathers hanging at the end of his hair refracted colorful waves as they swung, and combined with his unique temperament, he seemed like a son of the mountains and forests.
After shouting, Ganz stared at a window on the second floor and waited quietly. Suddenly, the curtains shook a few times, and a dog's head emerged from inside.
Gantz: Withdraws a smile.
The dog's head disappeared, and after a few breaths, a pair of arms as thin as lotus roots pulled open the curtains and pushed up the window.
Ganz's pupils shrank and he subconsciously held his breath.
A girl who seemed to have walked out of a myth was lying on the window sill with sleepy eyes. Her fluffy red hair was naturally curly. Because she had just woken up, her hair was fuzzy and fluffy, making her face look smaller and whiter.
Gantz thought silently: Red really makes whiter.
No, maybe Sister Wei’er is just white.
Xu Weiwei covered her mouth, yawned, rubbed her eyes, then put her hands together and rubbed her face hard. After doing all this, she felt instantly refreshed.
He stretched out his arm and waved to Gantz below, "Brother Gantz, good morning! Wait for me, I'll be quick!" After that, he turned around and disappeared from the window.
"Good morning! Take your time! There's no rush..." Ganz shouted towards the empty window, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and he didn't know if the other party heard him.
Today, the Guder people are going to hold a horse race. As a race that lives on horseback, riding and archery have always been their survival skills and their most proud abilities.
At this convention, people competed in horsemanship, tamed newly acquired wild horses, and those who were capable could even return home with a cart full of prey.
This kind of event is basically held once a year, with an irregular time, usually on a certain day between May and mid-June, depending on the weather.
During the years she lived on the planet Gudel, Xu Weiwei naturally learned how to ride a horse. It was not like when she was a child, when she was carried by a horse in circles under the protection of her family, but she could really gallop on a horse.
She is 14 years old this year and has been attending this event since the year before last. Of course, the main thing is to participate and enjoy the atmosphere.
Xu Weiwei combed her hair twice, then gathered them all together and tied them into a high ponytail. She washed her face with clean water under the tap, put a piece of toothpaste in her mouth, and applied it to her face while chewing. The whole process took less than three minutes.
The night before, Hong had prepared the clothes she was going to wear and placed them on her bed.
After going out, Xu Weiwei took off her pajamas, changed into an exotic-style top and skirt, tied her belt, put on her boots, tied her shoelaces tightly, stomped her feet, and checked herself in the mirror.
Eight years have passed, and that adorable little child has grown into a graceful young girl.
Half a month ago, Hong measured her height in order to make clothes for this festival. Then she was surprised to find that Xu Weiwei had grown to 170cm, which was taller than the average height of girls of the same age in the Empire.
There are many tall women in the army. Hong herself is 178 cm tall. But having seen how weak and thin Xu Weiwei was when she was a child, it is hard to imagine that she could grow up to be so tall.
Xu Weiwei was also surprised. Surrounded by tall people, it is easy to lose the concept of height when living among them.
In her previous life, she was not short, 167cm tall, because her grandfather and father were both tall. Unexpectedly, she is even taller in this life, jumping directly to 170cm.
Xu Weiwei looked at herself in the mirror and raised her lips: Mom and Dad will be shocked if they see her again. And my brothers, I don't know how tall they are, they can't be shorter than me, right? Hehe.
"Woof!" Beta barked and brought a large comb to remind his owner.
"Oh, right! And you too." Xu Weiwei took the comb, combed her hair perfunctorily twice, then went downstairs to the restaurant despite Beta's "protest".
"Good morning, Aunt Hong, have Uncle Dao and Uncle Kai left?" Xu Weiwei asked while peeling eggs.
"No, the two of them are outside cleaning up the snow."
"Oh," Xu Wei didn't bother to speak. Ganz was still waiting outside. She wanted to eat quickly, but her habit prevented her from wolfing down the food.
Hong saw this and walked outside the yard and asked Ganz, "Have you eaten yet? Come in and eat a little more. Keep Wei'er company."
Ganz dismounted, swallowed his refusal, and followed Hong into the house obediently.
"I cooked a lot, so you're welcome. There's porridge in the kitchen. I'll serve you a bowl." After saying that, Hong went into the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a bowl of beef and egg porridge and placed it in front of Ganz.
"Brother Ganz, haven't you had breakfast either?" Xu Weiwei asked.
"Ah, well, I didn't eat." Ganz said reluctantly, and his hand under the table unconsciously touched his stomach. It was filled with two ribs, a whole vegetable pie, and two large meat-filled buns.
Ganz was ready to eat more, but he was surprised by the deliciousness of the food the moment it entered his mouth. His appetite was greatly increased, and he ate a lot more. When he stood up, he was almost unable to walk and burped twice in a row. He blushed at Xu Wei's smiling eyes.
After dinner, Xu Weiwei went outside to see how Bai Xue was treated.
Four years ago, Dao and Kai got her a pony from the wild. The people of Gudel were good at riding, and since they were here, they had to adapt to the local customs. Besides, horse riding was a compulsory course for the nobles, and no one could suffer but the children. Even in a foreign land, Xu Weiwei's education could not fall behind.
I wanted to buy it directly from the locals, but no matter who I asked, they insisted on giving it to them. As soldiers of the empire, they have always believed that they will not take a single needle or thread from the masses.
They certainly wouldn't do anything that violates their code of conduct, so they had no choice but to look for wild ones in the wild.
Their original plan was to take a big horse back to tame, but unexpectedly they came across a mare that had just given birth. They immediately decided to change their target and take the foal back after it was born.
The process was not smooth, of course, as they encountered hostility from the entire herd of wild horses. Later, they learned from talking to others that the mare might be one of the mates of the horse king, and they had kidnapped the horse king's "daughter", and they were lucky not to be trampled to death by the horses.
The two of them did not mention that they relied on tranquilizer guns to knock out a lot of wild horses before taking the child away. It was not really aboveboard, and it could even be said to be a bit embarrassing.
Anyway, Xu Weiwei had a pony of her own, a pure black mare. Everyone was delighted by the arrival of this new family member.
"What should we name it? Dark clouds? Thunder? Lightning?" Kai suggested excitedly.
"Is it male or female?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
Kai picked it up by one of its hind legs. "It's a female."
"Oh, a girl, then call her Snow White."
"……Good name."
