Cao Dali had never ridden a horse before, but the body's owner, Will, was a good horse rider, after receiving the reins handed over by a free rider, Cao Dali attempted to roll over and get on the horse, and unexpectedly, his movements were clean and appeared to be excellent at riding.
Ed led the way with his horse, not very fast, following him was the pretty little boy Bran, three other hip teenagers, then the captain of the guards, Jory Kessel, the head of the stables, Huron, the head of affairs, Desmond and the others followed, and then a dozen or so free riders, who swept past Cao Da Li, either not looking at Cao Da Li at all or scornful in indifference. Cao Dali set his horse aside to make way for them, having fused Will's memories, he knew that he was not qualified to walk side by side with them.
He was unarmed, and these free riders, all armed with lances and distinctive armour, were not at all afraid of his riding away behind him.
As the one horse and two riders passed by Cao Dali, Cao Dali saluted the two riders who scorned him as a sign of gratitude. One Horse, Two Riders, as one of the riders gave his horse to Cao Dali.
After all the riders had gone by, Cao Dali wasn't in a hurry to follow, all of them weren't going fast, and the horses' hooves had to go all the way south.
Cao Dali hissed and tore off a piece of his black coat, biting one end with his teeth and wrapping one end towards his right hand. It was freezing cold and his right hand had a very serious abrasion, if he didn't keep it warm in time, when it was all bruised around the wound, his hand would be damaged from frostbite and abrasions, and his dexterity in making swords would be greatly reduced in the future.
As a guy who learnt Chinese medicine from his father since he was a child and memorised the prescription to recognise the herbs, plus the young doctor who went to university and specialised in western medicine, Cao Dali knows that his right hand must be protected as soon as possible, and if the temperature drops further, the right hand will not be able to get timely sterilisation and treatment, and the infection will run off pus coupled with frostbite, and the complete destruction of the nervous system on the right hand will be very possible.
The sound of tearing cloth was very loud and special, the few free riders behind them all turned back to look and saw Cao Dali tearing a piece of cloth from his own black clothes, nimbly biting the end of the cloth with his teeth, and one-handedly and skilfully began to bandage his right hand which was badly frostbitten and traumatised, the few riders were all moved in their minds, this handful of nimbly self-bandaging was not something that they were able to do. But then released, in the desperate Great Wall stayed for several years of black guy, proficient in a little bandaging and first aid means should not be a big deal.
Cao Dali quickly wrapped his right hand, pulled the horse's reins with his left hand, and put his right hand into his chest.
Keeping the right hand warm ensures the flow of blood to the hand and prevents necrosis of the cellular tissues of the traumatised hand due to freezing. As soon as the hand was placed into the chest, it was as if it had been placed into a piece of solid ice, causing the whole body to shiver with cold.
It was hard to bear, but Cao Dali's face expression was unchanged, and his nerves were like steel wires.
His current soul and body bearing capacity were the sum of the energies of both Cao Dali and Will, which had far exceeded that of an average person. The two, Will and Cao Dali, were well merged into one, fusing into the current Cao Dali.
As the group moved forward, Cao Dali's gaze skimmed over the dozen or so free riders, skimmed over Jory and the others, and landed on the back of a red-haired teenager. This red-haired teenager stared at Cao Da Li as he passed by his side, his gaze was cold and resolute, his skin was very white, the pupils of his eyes were turquoise blue, exactly the same as Pretty Boy Bran's hair and pupils as well as his skin, and Cao Da Li knew that this martial and extraordinary teenager should be Robb Stark.
The Icewolf family crest on his black sable fur also confirmed Cao Dali's judgement.
According to their pre-travelling memories, Robb, Bran, Rickon, Sansa and Arya all take after their mother in appearance, with the Tully family's trademark date-red hair and typical turquoise-blue pupils.
The teenager beside Robb Stark looks slightly slimmer than him, but his eyes are sharper, grey pupils of his eyes are almost ink-black, his skin is blackish, his black hair is shiny and curly, he wears the same noble and elegant as Robb, but there is no Ice Harvest Wolves family emblem on the mouth of the corset, and his face is very much like that of Edd, and Eddard Stark's eyeballs are also of grey colour. Cao Dali understood that this teenager should be Jon Snow.
As for the other fellow with a lean figure and a look with a faintly mocking smile, it must be Eddard Stark's adopted son, Theon Greyjoy. If I remember correctly, he should be nineteen years old this year, five years older than Jon Snow and Robb Stark, but a little shorter than both of them. Theon Greyjoy's nostrils hummed very softly as he rode past Cao Dali, the right corner of his mouth rising slightly, and Cao Dali could see the condescending cruelty hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Cao Dali could see at a glance that Sien Greyjoy was eager to kill himself with his hands, but had a superior arrogance that was afraid of dirtying his hands.
Xion was a very dangerous fellow, but Cao Dali had no fear in his heart. With Cao Dali's current fusion of Will's skills, he could easily stab his sword into Xion's throat with his left hand even with a sword.
Four years of training in the Great Wall of Desperation, not out of the mission to be practical training, out of the mission at any time will encounter unpredictable dangers in the patrol, these cruel days are not for nothing. Taking the experience of his previous life, Cao vigorously fused Will's part, equivalent to the most iron blooded special forces warrior sharpened by four years in the most arduous environment. And before that, Will was already an inveterate thief, having crawled through the kingdoms of the Seven Lords, and was proficient in swordsmanship and stealing.
Cao Dali knew that Xion was a typical double-faced personality, arrogant but timid, murderous but cowardly, arrogant but inferior, honour-seeking but backstabbing, but there was still a deep-seated goodness deep in his bones, just that he didn't know it himself.
Cao Dali maintained a small distance to follow the group forward, while reliving the trajectory of this world in his memory. If the change in the world's trajectory wasn't too big, not far ahead should be the place where the dead giant Ice Plains Wolf was found. The several children of the Stark family would each receive an Ice Plains Wolf pup.
For the first time in hundreds of years, an ice wolf will appear on the southern edge of the Great Wall of Extinction, and a dead one at that, the second sign that winter has arrived.
Up ahead, Jon Snow looked at a grove of trees in the distance and said to Robb and Theon, "Hey, dare we test our riding skills and see who gets to the grove first?"
Jon Snow was ridiculed and looked down upon because of his status as a bastard, so he was the one who trained the sword and riding skills the hardest, and he had already overpowered Robb in swordplay, and in riding skills he was very confident that he was already one of the best in the castle. Only in front of his father, Jon Snow dared to do what he wanted to do, if Lady Catelyn was there, he would not dare to say such provocative words.
"Just compare!" Robb immediately said.
"Okay, let's see who gets to the grove first." Theon's legs clamped together, and the dwarf horse at his crotch was the first to charge out.
The children know that their father is as cold as a rock on the outside, but as soft as cotton on the inside.
So as long as Mother Superior isn't around, they all dare to let loose a little.
The three horses immediately huffed and puffed.
A rare faint smile appeared on Ed Stark's frosty-like face, his love for his children was always non-expressive, but unfortunately, his children were all extremely intelligent and had long known the softness of his heart.
Eddard Stark reined in his horse and said, "Desmond, you go back to the castle and tell Maester Luwin to come to the Godswood. Jory, tell that black man Will to follow, and the three of us will take the path behind the village and enter the castle through the back door and go to the Godswood first. Huron, you take the party and follow the young masters."
"Yes, my lord."
Desmond hit his horse and galloped towards King's Landing.
Jory strangled his horse and turned back, shouting at Cao Dali at the back of the group, "Stinky Will, keep up, we'll go the other way."
