145.Chapter 145 The Frightened Jockey
Chen Ershao's decision surprised Lin Tian a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Secretary Zhao praised him before, and hated that he educated Chen Ershao with iron and steel.
Lin Tian could see that Chen Ershao must be a little unconvinced, after all, he was also a little arrogant.
But he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Chen Ershao trusted him so much and had such courage to make a decision.
This made Lin Tian's perception of Chen Ershao much better than before.
Chen Ershao smiled at Lin Tian and only said one sentence, "Come on, help me abuse him!" ”
Lin Tian nodded, his expression and eyes were very calm.
Then, Chen Ershao snapped his fingers, "Little Liu, go and take out the black general I usually ride." ”
A young man in a shirt beside him quickly turned around and went to lead the horse in the stable.
After a while, Xiao Liu brought a black horse and handed the reins to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian looked at it and saw that this black horse was the same as the brown horse of the professional jockey, and it was a precious thoroughbred.
Both horses have bright fur, steady steps, long and long strides, and walk with a noble and demure attitude.
At first glance, these two horses are professional racehorses with excellent pedigrees and mature training.
Next, Xiaoliu and the two youths were busy.
The three of them found bows and arrows and arrow targets from the equestrian club, handed over the bows and arrows to Lin Tian and Du Lifan, and Xiao Liu went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to install the arrow targets.
The dark-skinned jockey carried a wooden bow diagonally on his body and tied a quiver containing three feathered arrows to his saddle.
Then he rolled over and mounted the brown horse, and began to adjust the saddle and stirrups.
Moreover, he stroked the neck of the brown horse with his hand and muttered something in a low voice, as if he was communicating with the brown horse.
Miraculously, the brown horse stood still and waited until he had finished speaking, and then snorted, as if nodding in response.
There is no doubt that the brown horse of the professional jockey was also carefully selected by him, and it is very spiritual and intelligent.
Lin Tian glanced at the jockey expressionlessly, and also turned over on the horse with a bow and arrow, and hung the quiver on the saddle.
A few minutes later, Xiao Liu installed the arrow target, left the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and returned to Chen Ershao's side.
Du Lifan clapped his hands and smiled proudly: "You two can get ready to start!" ”
Lin Tian and the jockey held the reins, and both rode to the cobblestone path, standing side by side, waiting for the race to begin.
The path was too narrow, and the two of them couldn't squeeze in on horseback side by side, Lin Tian leaned on the side of the lake, and his legs were almost attached to the iron fence by the lake.
At this moment, Du Lifan suddenly snorted coldly: "Begin!" ”
As soon as the swarthy jockey clamped his legs around the horse's belly, he immediately shot out, throwing Lin Tian a few meters away.
Lin Tian also began to gallop on horseback, following closely behind the brown horse, his eyes fixed on the jockey on horseback.
He hadn't ridden a horse before, and he didn't even know the essentials of riding a horse.
Chen Ershao and his companions saw him sitting on horseback with his waist straight, and suddenly three black lines hung down on his forehead.
"Second Shao, Lin Tianhe...... You really can't ride a horse? ”
"I said, just now I thought he deliberately said that he couldn't ride, because he wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!"
"This ...... His posture will affect the performance of the dark horse, and he can't run the real strength at all. ”
Chen Ershao frowned, and shook his head calmly, "Don't worry, let's see." ”
Sure enough, about a few tens of seconds later, Lin Tian observed the movements of the jockey in front of him and probably learned the correct posture and essentials of horse racing.
He pressed his legs hard on the stirrup, clamped the horse's belly, lifted his butt up and hung in the air, and leaned forward 15 degrees, maintaining the same center of gravity as the black horse.
The black horse seemed to relieve some of the pressure and ran a little faster, and the horseshoe struck on the cobblestone path with a "clattering" sound.
The distance between Lin Tian and the jockey gradually narrowed from twenty meters to about ten meters.
More than a minute later, seeing that Lin Tian was about to catch up with the jockey, the distance between the two was only about four meters.
At this time, the jockey saw a clump of green bamboos more than four meters high on the side of the road, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.
As he passed through the green bamboo bushes, he suddenly reached out and grabbed an arm-thick green bamboo and pushed it forward.
The jockey's tremendous strength, coupled with the inertia of the brown horse's galloping, suddenly bent the green bamboo into a half-moon shape.
Then he suddenly let go, and the green bamboo with thick arms bounced back violently, whistling and sweeping towards Lin Tian and the black horse.
The strength of Qingzhu's rebound was extremely great, and once it swept Lin Tian, it would definitely knock him off the horse.
Even if Qingzhu misses him and hits the dark horse, the black horse will be forced to stop even if he is not injured.
"! Despicable bastard! ”
Lin Tian's pupils immediately shrank, and a cold light flashed under his eyes.
At the critical moment, he twisted the reins so hard that the black horse lowered his head and leaned towards the lake.
At the same time, he also lay sideways on the outside belly of the black horse, and his hands clung to the saddle so that he did not fall.
Qingzhu swept over his head with a "whoosh" sound, and only 20 centimeters missed hitting him.
Lin Tian narrowly escaped the catastrophe, and rode a black horse to chase the jockey in front of him at high speed.
After a while, the two of them reached the other side of the lake, and there was a tall camphor tree on the shore.
This area is the closest to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, only about 30 meters away.
Of course, it is still very difficult for people who have not undergone professional training to shoot an arrow target at a distance of 30 meters.
The jockey took the lead and reached the camphor tree, pulled the reins to stop the brown horse, and then quickly took out his bow and arrows.
He clamped his legs tightly between the horse's belly, kept his body balanced, held the bow and arrows steadily and forcefully in his arms, and aimed sharply at the arrow target in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Although he has no professional training, his archery skills are average.
But aiming at a stationary state, he still has a good chance of hitting.
The jockey drew his wooden bow, fixed his eyes on the target, and immediately shot an arrow.
At this time, Lin Tian caught up from behind, and the black horse rushed under the camphor tree without slowing down at all.
Lin Tian sat on horseback, held a wooden bow and looked at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, immediately took out two arrows and put them on the bowstring, and shot them out without hesitation.
The arrow flew out of the air with a "boom", which immediately made the jockey show a stunned expression and turn his head to look at Lin Tian's arrow.
To the jockey's surprise, one of Lin Tian's arrows actually stopped his arrow in mid-air, and broke his arrow in half.
And the other arrow shot by Lin Tian accurately hit the target in the pavilion in the middle of the lake with a tilt angle of fifteen degrees!
That arrow actually hit the heart of the target!
Moreover, the huge force of the arrow burst out directly pierced a hole in the arrow target and knocked the arrow target to the ground!
The jockey was dumbfounded on the spot, stunned and completely stunned.
