Yuan Shu’s sitting posture was a little casual. After staying in this world for a long time, Yuan Shu was no longer as tense as before. Occasionally, she would make some relaxed postures to make her body more comfortable.
For example, like now, with her legs crossed and her elbows on her knees, she leaned forward slightly and supported her chin with her palms. Her waist felt much more comfortable when she placed her weight on her hands and legs.
As Yuan Shu looked at the horse in the field, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The horse’s tail was wagging too quickly and it kept snorting. These signs showed that the horse was on the verge of becoming irritable.
“Oh no!” Yuan Shu exclaimed and sat up straight, ready to get up at any time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJiang Chen, who was sitting next to her, also noticed the horse’s movement. He frowned slightly, but then he looked at Yuan Shu, who was beside him. He was worried that she would rush out and get injured by the horse.
The horse became more and more uneasy, and Zhang Zhang became more and more afraid as he sat on the horse’s back. The horse below her was wriggling, as if it wanted to throw her down.
Zhang Zhang was a little afraid, and her expression was very unnatural, but the director had yet to shout “cut”, so she didn’t dare to act rashly and continued to say her lines.
Finally, amidst the horse’s irritable neigh, Zhang Zhang’s body swayed. She hugged the horse’s neck tightly in fear to stabilize her body, but the horse was frightened by this. It wanted to break free from the reins and rush out.
The male actor, who was holding the reins, let go of the reins in fear when he heard the first neigh. Then, he ignored Zhang Zhang and ran to a safe place.
Shi Lu, who was watching the performance from the side, also realized that something was wrong. She wanted to approach Zhang Zhang and help her, but she was also worried that she would be hit by the horse, so she waited for an opportunity.
Yuan Shu also stood up immediately and ran to the racecourse. Jiang Chen wanted to stop her, but he was too late, so he could only follow closely behind her to protect her.
Yuan Shu looked at the frightened Zhang Zhang and the horse, who was also frightened and uneasy. Then, she said in a very calm voice, “Zhang Zhang, don’t be afraid. Don’t grab the mane on the horse’s neck. It will hurt very much and it won’t be able to help but run!”
At the same time, Yuan Shu slowly walked in front of the horse and raised a hand to comfort it.
She had grown up on the back of a horse and was very familiar with horses, so she knew how to calm them down.
At this moment, Jiang Chen also walked to Yuan Shu’s side carefully. Yuan Shu had no time to pay attention to anything else at the moment. She knew that someone was approaching from behind, but she didn’t know who it was.
She said to the person behind her, “I’ll stabilize this horse. Help Zhang Zhang down.”
When the horse stopped moving, Yuan Shu instructed Zhang Zhang, “Zhang Zhang, let go slowly now. Then, hold the saddle and move your feet out from the footrest. You have to be careful!”
Zhang Zhang followed Yuan Shu’s instructions obediently. Her every move was very gentle and careful. She was already trembling in fear, but she resisted the urge to cry.

Zhang Zhang could no longer keep her balance and she fell off the horse.
If she fell to the ground at this height, especially when her back was facing down, her spine would definitely be injured and she might even be disabled!
Zhang Zhang screamed in fear and couldn’t hold back her tears anymore as she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Shi Lu, who had been guarding her carefully, hugged her. However, the gravity of falling from a high place was very strong, and Shi Lu fell to the ground as well. After the two of them fell to the ground together, Zhang Zhang fell on Shi Lu.
Although it was very dangerous to fall off the horse, fortunately, with Shi Lu as a buffer, the two of them were not seriously injured.
However, Yuan Shu was in a very dangerous situation.
Yuan Shu had been standing in front of the horse, so if the horse was agitated and wanted to rush out, the first person it would charge at would be Yuan Shu!
Of course, Yuan Shu knew how strong the impact of a horse’s attack was. It might injure her, so she focused on the horse and didn’t dare to relax at all.
As soon as the horse’s front foot left the ground and hung in the air, Yuan Shu immediately dodged to the side to avoid being stepped on when the horse’s hooves fell. Then, while the horse’s hooves fell and the reins floated in the air, Yuan Shu grabbed the reins tightly and got on the horse.
“Yuan Shu!”
