(091), rescue
When the horse was startled, Lin Shan, who was closest to Mo Ye, soon saw her horse rushing away from the arena, and he immediately picked up the reins and chased the horse out. The teachers and students who were watching not far away discovered this abnormal situation, and they were all shocked, so Xing Feng, who ran farther away, had also sensed that something was wrong, and after looking sideways, his eyes widened slightly, and he immediately turned his horse's head and chased out.
Mo Ye, who was riding on the back of the frightened horse, was flustered for a while and then forcibly calmed down, she did not have the physical fitness and skills to subdue the frightened horse, even if this frightened horse was known as a merchant horse with a warm temperament, so she was thinking about two problems at this time, the first was how to keep herself from being thrown off her back by the frightened horse, and the second was how to get out of the horse safely. When encountering danger, if she is unable to solve the danger, then use a qiē method to save her life to avoid danger, this is what Lin Shan once taught her.
It's just that such an escape seems to be hard to find. The places where Crazy Horse ran were stone roads in the mountains, it was early in spring, and the grass on the ground had just grown, Mo Ye secretly wondered if he jumped off the horse at such a forward speed, and he didn't know how many bones he would break? How many patches of skin have you scratched?
Just when she was hesitating, she suddenly heard Master's voice behind her.
"Ye'er, I'll shout three times, you get ready."
Mo Ye glanced back, and saw Lin Shan galloping about two feet behind him. Now he was carrying the reins in his left hand, and with his right hand he loosened the reins, and reached into the horse's sideways saddlebag, and pulled out the buckle of a rope.
There was no need for Lin Shan to be detailed, Mo Ye had already understood what he was going to do, but Mo Ye looked at the intersection in front of her that was about to turn less than five zhang, and her heart couldn't help but get nervous. But tension is tension, and what should be faced has to be faced, and in such a situation, it is best to end this chaos as soon as possible. Mo Ye believed that Master would be able to save her, and even if she bled a little because of this, she was willing to entrust her trust, and she was courageous because of this trust.
Her hand holding the reins suddenly turned into a fist, grabbed the horse's back fiercely, and then shouted: "Come on! ”
Hearing a "whoosh" sound in his ears, Mo Ye saw a rope ring falling from the sky and accurately putting it on himself. The rope loop loosened slightly after lassing herself, and fell to her waist under the shaking of the galloping horse, and at the same time she heard Lin Shan's voice shouting: "Three, two, one, up!" ”
When Lin Shan shouted "two", Mo Ye's hand holding the reins was slowly loosening, gradually removing the reins and losing the strength to maintain the balance of her body, and at the same time she had to increase the strength to pick at the horse's back fur. She used the flesh and skin of the horse's back as the reins to keep her body balanced in an instant, so that she could let go of the rope when Lin Shan pulled the rope in the next moment, and would not be caught in the reins. When Lin Shan shouted "one", her feet had already left the horseshoe, and the purpose was the same.
The rope in Lin Shan's hand was wrapped around Mo Ye's waist, leaving a little time for the rope to be tightened, and in this interval he made a password with Mo Ye again, and then he suddenly pulled the rope, and Mo Ye's body flew off the back of the startled horse, and fell backwards on Lin Shan's horse. This urgently needed to grasp the angle and force, so that Lin Shan's forehead was already sweating because of nervousness.
Mo Ye only felt that his waist was strangled by the rope, but fortunately, the spring shirt at this time was not thin, so his skin was not strangled. Fortunately, the dismount was very accurate, and she finally got away from the startled horse. After escaping, Mo Ye looked at the startled horse that ran into the bend in front of the mountain road in the next moment, and she directly breathed a long sigh of relief - if she was one step later, she would lose a chance to be saved by the master because of the turn.
After Lin Shan's own old horse under the seat of Lin Shan was in full pursuit, when Mo Ye was rescued, it also began to reduce its speed, but it had already run over the turning mountain road, and then saw the torture wind riding the horse galloping past him, Mo Ye blurted out: "Brother Xing, what are you doing?!" ”
Xing Feng didn't look back, but his voice stayed: "I'll go and chase the startled horse back." ”
Before Mo Ye could speak, he heard Lin Shan behind him suddenly exclaim: "Come back quickly, there is a deep water shore ahead!" ”
When Lin Shan shouted, Xing Feng had already run away, Lin Shan saw that Xing Feng did not reply, his brows tightened, and he immediately signaled Mo Ye to dismount. Mo Ye realized that the problem became strict, and he also took a decisive action to remove the rope cover on his body, and at the same time jumped directly from the horse.
Because of the danger she had just experienced, her shock disappeared at this time, and her legs were still a little weak, so she fell when she jumped off the horse. But she didn't care about these at all, and when she got up, she saw that Lin Shan had galloped away, and she didn't have time to take pictures of the dust on her body, so she hurriedly ran on foot and chased after her.
When Lin Shan approached Xingfeng, he saw that the rope in Xingfeng's hand was already hanging on the neck of the startled horse at the front, but the waterfront in front was also visible. The waterfront looked very ordinary from this direction of the forest cedar, but the forest cedar knew the depth of the water bank here.
A few years ago, before Song De left, taking the county seat as a point, the rivers and lakes in the surrounding area of more than ten miles were studied by Lin Shan and Song De from deep to shallow, of course, no one knew why they did this. Putting those things aside at this time, Lin Shan's biggest impression of the deep water bank here is the stubborn aquatic plants growing under the water bank. Even in winter, this terrifyingly growing aquatic plant only withers at the edges, but if you fold it, you can find that the grass ridge is green all year round, and it is still very entangled.
Horses have four hooves and are equipped with various saddle buckles, so if they fall into that water, even if they are born to float, they are prone to become entangled in aquatic weeds that are as long and flexible as a woman's hair. No matter how strong the horse's four hooves are, it is easy to get into danger because of this, let alone a human.
However, Lin Shan knew the dangers hidden under this water, and that was because he had conducted field surveys here in order to guide Song De in something, which did not mean that Xing Feng also knew about this. In the eyes of Xingfeng, there is nothing more than a shallow shoal ahead, and with the wild nature and domineering strength of the wild horses below, it is enough to wade through the water easily.
Seeing that Xingfeng had lassoed the startled horse in front of him with a rope noose, and that he had the momentum to continue moving forward, Lin Shan pressed the horse to approach and shouted again: "Xingfeng stop!" There is a lot of water and grass ahead, so you can't go any further! ”
Xing Feng finally heard Lin Shan's voice, and he no longer drove the horse forward, but he did not let go of the rope in his hand, but held the reins in one hand and pulled the rope that was holding the frightened horse backwards with the other. The speed of Torture Wind's mount slowed down, but the startled horse in front of him still had the momentum of galloping, so he pulled the rope straight, and also pulled Torture Wind's man and one horse to slide forward.
The startling horse was originally used for business, although it couldn't compete with the speed and explosiveness of the wild horse under the Xingfeng seat, but if it wanted to fight the strength of the four hooves, it was actually on par with the wild horse of the Xingfeng. At this moment, it was delirious, and the force of the fury increased, and the momentum of the horse of the torture wind had not been completely reduced, and the wild horse, which felt its body leaning forward, realized that if it jumped at this time, it was afraid that it would be overturned to the ground, but when it stopped and grabbed the ground with four hooves, it was pulled by the frightened horse in front of it, and the four hooves made four marks on the ground.
"Let go!"
When Lin Shan's shouting came again, it was already a little too late. At this time, even if Xing Feng suddenly let go, he had already been pulled to the water's edge by the frightened horse. But Xing Feng finally let go of the leash when he was about to fall into the water, and watched the startled horse leap into the water, but his own mount forward kick had already slipped to the shore, even if he turned the horse's body at this moment and forcibly twisted the horse's body to tilt, there was still a possibility of falling into the water.
At this moment, Xing Feng suddenly saw a rope noose flying in the air, but it was put on the neck of the wild horse under his seat, and at the same time, he heard Lin Shan shouting "let go" and then shouted: "Press the horse, hold on!" ”
Xing Feng suddenly remembered something, and the hands that were pulling the reins quickly freed up one fist and slapped it heavily on the horse's neck. This palm contains the true power of the punishment wind, not the usual method of small punishment, the wild horse took a blow, neighed and deviated at the same time, but it was to let the forest fir behind it with a rope lasso grasp the angle, and pull hard. I saw that the wild horse kicked forward without moving, and the hind hooves turned after volleying, and the body changed to face the water bank.
At this moment, the strength of a horse and a man fell to a pair of forward kicks when its hind hooves were volleyed in the air, and through the torture wind and then pressed down with both palms, the body sank, and it finally bent down on the knees of a pair of horses that it could not bear, and knelt on the ground. The horse's belly was close to the ground, the resistance increased greatly, and there was a rope pull from the forest cedar behind it, and the horse finally stopped when it fell halfway into the water.
Listening to the sound of a pair of hind hooves of his wild horse hitting the water, Xing Feng was still shocked in his heart.
His figure at this time reversed with the horse, his back to the waterfront and facing the forest fir, and he saw that the forest fir not far away from the opposite side was also pressing the horse to the ground, but the kneeling posture of the old horse that Lin Shan was riding was much more upright than his own appearance. And Lin Shan, after seeing his horse stopped, only let go, and the old horse under the seat stood up naturally, as if he was already proficient in kneeling and standing, and only needed a signal from the master, and did not need to be as violent as him.
After Lin Shan got up on his horse, he turned his horse's head and ran away a few steps, and then pulled Xingfeng's mount up from the water's edge. Both the torture wind and the mount were fine, but the knees of the first two hooves of the two mounts were bruised, and the fur on the horse's knees was as if a piece had been flattened off by a sharp blade due to friction, revealing bright red flesh, which looked a little miserable.
Lin Shan didn't care about these at all, seeing that Xingfeng was completely out of danger, he had jumped off the horse, and before the person approached, he already said loudly: "Are you okay?" ”
Xing Feng replied apologetically after dismounting, "I'm fine." ”
"That's good." Lin Shan simply said hello, and then he walked to the water's edge, looking at the startled horse floating in the water, competing with the water with its four hooves, he suddenly exhaled, and then bent down to pick up a few stones and threw them at the startled horse.
Xing Feng was puzzled, and after approaching, he asked, "Why is Mr. like this?" ”
"It can make trouble as long as it wants, but don't make trouble in this area. The grass is deep underwater, and it will be a real trouble if it gets entangled. After Lin Shan threw the stones in his hand, he saw that the startled horse swam away, bent down and picked up a few more pieces in his hand, and then continued: "You also pick up some stones and help me drive it away from this water." ”
Xing Feng picked up the stone as he said, but he was still puzzled, and asked again, "Isn't the gentleman going to pull it up?" ”
"It takes a lot of effort for the man to pull the horse, and our horse is wounded, but it is still in the midst of madness." Lin Shan smiled and said, "The merchant horse is also a well-trained horse, and when it is crazy enough, it will naturally be able to find its way home, but before that, it can't be really trapped." ”
Xing Feng nodded, threw a few stones at the startled horse, and saw that it finally swam far away in the water, and a question suddenly appeared in his heart, looking at the forest cedar who was patting the ashes on his hand and asked: "In the wilderness here, how does Mr. know that the water is deep and the grass grows here?" How does the gentleman know that there is no grass in other places?
