"Asu, you have to take it easy, don't be too nervous, if you are nervous, the horse will feel it, and you should pay attention to the horse's reaction, find the bumpy feeling when the horse walks, and get used to that feeling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" An Jiuniang patiently taught.

Aso also tried to relax his body, sitting on the walking horse did have a feeling of jolting on the waves, and slowly began to let his body grasp this rhythm, Aso gradually felt better.

An Jiuniang saw that Asu felt better riding a horse, and slowly led the horse to walk a little faster, who knew that if she was a little faster, Asu on horseback begged for mercy, "Sister An, are you walking fast, no, I can't be so fast." ”

"Don't you care about my speed, you should care about yourself being relaxed? Asu, let me tell you, riding a horse is also a process for you to tame a horse, especially when riding a strange horse, you must relax in your heart. It's really so magical, a person's state, the horse can really feel it. An Jiuniang said slowly.

Asu nodded silently, and admired An Jiuniang even more in her heart, she can ride a horse and play, her qualifications are mediocre and timid, and she can still teach so tirelessly, which shows that her heart is also broad and bright.

After a few laps, under An Jiuniang's careful teaching, Asu can already sit calmly on horseback and walk by the horse, and occasionally An Jiuniang deliberately speeds up and she can also adapt. "You're already familiar with the horse, Asu, next, I'll let go of the reins, can you sit on the horse and try to follow the horse in circles?" An Jiuniang raised her head and presented a new challenge to Asu.

Asu looked at An Jiuniang's face with a layer of fine beads of sweat, thinking about riding a horse, but she walked, after a few laps, her physical strength would indeed consume a lot, and she hurriedly said, "My good sister, you can rest for a while, I brought pastries in the food box, and today really made you tired." ”

An Jiuniang smiled, wiped the beads of sweat on her head, and agreed to Asu's proposal without prevarication. So they found a small tree and tied their horses, and sat down on the spot to rest.

Just as Asu untied the food box and was about to take out the pastries, at this time, a sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near in the distance, and then looked over, only to see dust rolling on the road in front of him, and two horsemen and horses galloped over, Asu and An Jiuniang quickly got up and looked over, the figure was getting closer and closer, and when he saw it clearly, Aso jumped up, "It's the second cousin, ah, and Fugu Goro." Then he raised his hand and shouted, "Second cousin." ”

It turned out that Li Xiang and Fu Guyang came here today to practice riding and archery. It is said that during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, the Wuju people exams were produced, and the exams were passed for horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, weight-bearing wrestling, etc. Merit-based admission to military attachés is also based on merit.

Li Guangbi and Fugu Huaien are both high-ranking officials of the third or fourth grade of the imperial court, but not all of their sons can be officials directly through Enyin, their official rank is generally only Enyin one son, this discount is given to many people's eldest son, and the later sons can choose the imperial examination or the martial arts examination if they want to be officials.

Li Xiang and Fu Guyang have been preparing for the martial arts examination, while San Lang Li Hui is preparing for the imperial examination.

Li Xiang heard Asu's voice, and hurriedly signaled to Fu Guyang, the two stopped the horse, and after dismounting, they directly took the bow and arrow in their hands and walked towards Asu and An Jiuniang.

"Asu, An Jiuniang, why are you here?" Li Xiang couldn't help but wonder when the two came together.

"Sister An taught me how to ride a horse today, just sit here and rest for a while, second cousin, are you out hunting today?" When Aso saw the bow and arrow, he immediately thought of hunting.

Li Xiang and Fu Guyang looked at each other and smiled, and Fu Guyang answered, "We are practicing riding and archery, and in two months, the military department's martial arts examination will start to register, and we have to practice diligently." ”

Asu nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, he knew a little about the imperial examination, and he did know very little about the martial arts, so he thought of the dim sum in the food box, so he hurriedly greeted, "Oh, by the way, I brought my own pastries, let's go over and taste them together." ”

"It's okay, it's still Sister Asu's preparation, as soon as I say it, I also feel a little hungry, haha" Li Xiang ran to the food box completely unceremoniously, and the other three looked at each other and smiled, and also followed.

The four of them sat down under a small tree next to the road, and Aso spread out the wrapping cloth that wrapped the food box, and opened the food box on top, and today she brought a variety of steamed small pastries.

These pastries are boiled with mint water first, and then Aso makes the mint water boiled into the pastry, and the snack has a refreshing feeling in the mouth, which is perfect for eating in summer. An Jiuniang praised them after tasting them.

Just as they were savoring the sweetness and coolness brought by the pastries, they didn't know that the aroma of the food also attracted danger in the depths of the grass, and there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the grass. ”

But An Jiuniang was sitting on the side of the grass shaking at this time, and when the lightning was shining, An Jiuniang just got up and said, "Ah! With a bang, his right hand shook vigorously and threw out a big snake with a yellow pattern on a black background, and Fu Guyang and Aso hurried over. On the other side, Li Xiang picked up the bow and arrow casually, and shot out with an arrow, hitting the snake's body, and the danger was instantly lifted, but An Jiuniang's hand was bitten by this thing.

"Sister An, was your hand bitten by a snake?"

"An Jiuniang, let me see your hands."

Asu and Fuguyang surrounded An Jiuniang, both of them anxiously asked to check the situation, An Jiuniang stretched out her hand, and at the mouth of the tiger on her slender white hand, there was an obvious tooth mark, and there was a trace of blood oozing, which made Asu's heart tighten.

"Look at this snake, what kind of snake is this? I can't remember where I've seen it, but it shouldn't be poisonous. Li Xiang walked over with a dead snake.

"I don't know, I'm afraid of poison, if An Jiuniang doesn't mind, let me help you suck out the poisonous blood." Fu Guyang glanced at the snake, and he couldn't judge it, afraid that it was a poisonous snake that hurt An Jiuniang, so he offered to help her suck poisonous blood.

An Jiuniang was both anxious and a little overwhelmed at this time, Asu took a closer look at his expression and relaxed, and said to An Jiuniang, "Sister An, don't worry, this snake is not poisonous, I have not only seen this snake before, but also eaten it, we call it cauliflower snake there." You can see that it has yellow flowers on a black background, like rape flowers. ”

Saying this, everyone suddenly relaxed, but looked at her with an incredulous face, Aso said she had eaten? This Asu really didn't lie to them, Aso is a southerner in modern times, and snake meat is a rare delicacy over there.

"It's true, this snake can be eaten, so let's do it, second cousin, you peel the snake skin, I'll take it back and boil the snake soup for you to eat." Asu hasn't eaten snake meat for a long time, not to mention how delicious the snake meat stew is, saying dragon meat in the sky and snake meat on the ground.

But who knew that the three of them waved their hands after hearing this idea, and An Jiuniang still had a complicated expression of gagging. It is said that eating snake meat, whether it is ancient or modern, is popular in the southern region, and Shuofang, which is located in the northwest border, has not had the habit of eating snake meat from ancient times to the present.

"Asu, I can help you skin the snake, but eat, let's forget it, you can keep it for yourself." Li Xiang also had to admire Asu, eating snakes? It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
