Chapter 14: The First Door
Li Cheng did not disturb Noah reading, but quietly left the villa with the harness and went to the stable to prepare the saddle for Chitu. Although I have seen the actions of Lao Pique and others to put on the harness, they are still extremely rusty, but fortunately, Chitu is not disgusted, and it took Li Cheng more than half an hour to finally get it done.
"Chitu, let you see the joke, I will try to learn the skill of saddle preparation in the future, but now, let's learn the riding skills first......" Chitu's horse was brushed by old Peake in the morning, and now I don't know where to go, and the windy Quarter Maianos is nowhere to be seen.
"Deku, where's old Peake?" Li Cheng took Chitu around the ranch and found that Deku was the only one leisurely watching TV in the room, holding a hot magazine in his hand.
"Oh, old Peake, they're going to patrol the ranch, and it's estimated that it will take a while to come back, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just want old Peake to teach me some riding skills, you also know that I haven't ridden a horse in China at all, and my level is very poor, if I don't work hard, how can I mix in the ranch!" Li Cheng's modest and studious appearance made Deku very impressed, as a rancher, he didn't have to learn these at all, just hand them over to his cowboys.
Like old Toth, he stayed in the villa all day and counted his money......
Deku walked over, touched Chitu's forehead, and was forced to retreat by Chitu's snort, he didn't laugh angrily, and said, "Hey, boy, you're very angry." ”
Then he said to Li Cheng: "Boss, if you don't mind, I can teach you basic equestrian skills, the old cowboy of the same level as old Peake, experienced and skilled, is actually not suitable for teaching you this kind of novice, when the grizzly bear ranch also undertook the task of tourist attractions, I have been serving as an equestrian instructor, and I have some experience in teaching novices." ”
"Okay, if you're not busy......"
Li Cheng noticed that this kid was actually holding a copy of "Playboy" in his hand in the name of watching TV, and was interrupted on his head, Li Cheng estimated that Deku should be unhappy, but Deku threw away the latest issue of the magazine and said: "Today's issue is too boring, it is better to go horseback riding, and it is such a proud horse, it is very fulfilling!" By the way, Boss, if I can, I'd like to try riding a ruler later...... Degree! ”
"It's a red rabbit, it's not a scale, the pronunciation is on time, you see it's not happy." Li Cheng took out a carrot and put it in the center of his palm, quieting Chitu.
"Oh, oh, Chitu, Chitu, right." Deku repeated the pronunciation several times, and finally it was tuned, and foreigners learning Chinese, no matter how they spoke, they could not always distinguish the pronunciation of intonation, flat tongue, and curved tongue.
Li Cheng and Deku came to the vast field, and the grizzly bear ranch was about 10,000 acres, which was enough for the two of them to practice equestrianism.
Don't look at Deku's usual grin, but when it's time to be serious, he will be serious, teach Li Cheng to learn the foundation of equestrianism, dare not be sloppy, settle down, and said: "Boss, the essence of equestrianism is in the word 'training', and getting the approval of the mount is one thing, the most important thing is the daily training, so I suggest that you master the horse training first." ”
"Oh?" Li Cheng agreed, and listened carefully to the wonderful explanation of the deku equestrian, in fact, he was also worried that the old Peake, a Jishu exquisite old cowboy, would be impatient to teach Li Cheng the basics, or Li Cheng would not be able to understand the good intentions of the old Peake.
But seriously, Deku's teaching is more in line with a layman like Li Cheng, who is not even a beginner, and what he means about horse training includes leading the horse forward, turning, stopping, retreating, and tuning rope training.
Each step is a bit famous, Li Cheng completed the adaptation step by step, Zuihou spent a lot of time in the training rope training, this step is to allow the horse to resolutely obey the rider's orders, to achieve the unity of man and horse, pointing where to fight.
"Yes, yes, the strength of the whip should be greater, the traction of the reins should be stepped on at the same point as the lower whip, and the number of turns should be fixed when turning circles, and the direction should be changed, otherwise you will be dizzy!"
"Oh, I see." Li Cheng and Chitu repeated hundreds of circular movements, Chitu was still alive, but Li Cheng was a little dizzy, hearing Deku say that he could change the direction of the circle, he was relieved, and began to train from the opposite direction.
"It can be a bit monotonous, but it's a necessary process to strengthen the muscles on both sides of the horse and allow the horse to adapt to the rider's commands, laying the groundwork for the next horse training." In one afternoon, Li Chengdu was learning jishu under the horse, and he had never even been on horseback, so he knew that he wouldn't spend so much time preparing the saddle.
No matter what kind of competitive sport it is, the basics seem to be useless but the most useful things, such as dribbling and passing in basketball; Zama step in martial arts......
Equestrian training is a must-have training for novices, if you go directly to the horse to ride, it is estimated that you will not be able to control the horse, and it is normal to fall on your back.
Li Cheng's embarrassment last time is still vivid! Therefore, I didn't dare to slack off, and I trained until the sunset, Deku was also competent, and stood next to him throughout the whole process, guiding Li Cheng's movements, so that he could make rapid progress, and there was basically no problem with the training points under the horse, and this kind of training should be carried out every day in the future, so as to enhance the communication with the red rabbit horse, and the training immediately, Deku felt that it could be advanced.
"Boss, you have a lot of talent for horseback riding, Chitu is also very obedient, this set of movements is very smooth, basically up to standard, let's start training right away every morning, and then go wild."
"Okay, you've worked hard all day today, why don't you have a meal together?"
"No, I'll eat with George." Deku seems to be still entangled in Li Cheng's plan to cook bear paws, and he doesn't know what kind of heavy taste today's dishes are, if he chops the fish head with pepper, he will be very hungry when he drinks beer, of course, if he keeps eating, he doesn't want to become a fish lip! Yesterday I ate a lot of Deku, and my stomach still hurts faintly, so I pulled it all morning.
The physique of white people is different from that of Li Cheng and Noah, and it is estimated that they are not very suitable for rice, so it doesn't matter if they eat occasionally, but if they eat it all the time, their stomach will be uncomfortable!
It's not that Li Cheng's cuisine doesn't meet Deku's food standards, but it's his own physical problem, and he is not very interested in rice. Li Cheng understands very well, he spent a lot of effort in Calgary, only to buy a bag of Thai fragrant rice in a large supermarket, there are still very few domestic immigrants here, not as good as Toronto, Vancouver and other cities, there are many Chinese, rice sales are naturally good, but Calgary is very few, so Li Cheng walked around Calgary, stunned and did not find Chinese immigrants.
"It is estimated that the small number of Chinese in the big cities in the Midwest is related to the relevant immigration policies." Li Cheng pondered secretly for a while, and when he saw that Old Peake and others were back, he led the Red Rabbit over, and the dusty Old Peake, George, and Byron searched the situation around the Grizzly Bear Ranch again.
Old Peake's face was a little wrong, and after getting off the horse, he pulled Li Cheng into the room, didn't even have time to drink water, and said, "Cheng, when we went out on patrol, we found this, take a look." ”
Old Peake took a photo with his mobile phone, an obvious grizzly bear footprint, which surprised Li Cheng, and it was within the ranch.
"What does this indicate?"
"When we went to see it yesterday, there were no bear-infested footprints in this area, and after we hunted the male and female, the bear appeared, judging from the depth and size of the footprints, this is a big guy, probably a male grizzly bear, maybe it's here for revenge, or the smart grizzly bear smelled the breath of the bear big and the bear in the pasture......"
The grizzly bear's olfactory system is very developed, and it is not difficult to track the location of the grizzly bear, and it is estimated that it also smells the breath of humans, so there is no rush to do it.
"How far are the footprints from the ranch living area?"
"It's a bad feeling to be watched by a grizzly bear for less than a mile, we haven't found out where it's hiding yet, and it's safe to assume that this big grizzly bear has already infiltrated the ranch and could attack us at any moment!" The elder Peake's worried words further illustrated the severity of the situation.
"I understand, from now on, take turns on duty at night to prevent the grizzly bear invasion!"
"Yes."
After the old Peake left, Li Cheng couldn't think of a more effective countermeasure for a while, so he had to comfort himself: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what kind of bird is a big grizzly bear afraid of!" On the basis of training riding, it is necessary to increase the training of marksmanship...... "When Li Cheng applied for a gun license in Calgary, he learned the basic firearms management regulations and how to use them, but his accuracy has not improved, and he has to spare time to consume some of the large box of bullets.
Otherwise, when he encounters a grizzly bear, he doesn't have the strength to fight with hand-to-hand, and the Damascus saber is difficult to kill with one hit!
Li Cheng fried a braised beef, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cooked rice for one person, and today's dinner is over.
The dragon tattoo on Li Cheng's back who was sleeping loomed, a golden light flashed, and the dragon tattoo was shining! In an instant, Li Cheng returned to the crystal maze again, and Li Cheng, who looked around, found that there were some changes here, several doors appeared on the walls of the crystal maze, and there was a protruding crystal screen, on which it was written in Chinese characters:
Crystal Palace City Lord: Li Cheng
Prestige: 5
Achievements: 10
Skill: Longwei LV1
Pets: Xiong Da, Xiong Er
Mount: Red Rabbit Horse
Seeing this situation, Li Cheng shouted: "Your sister's! I'm in the play space? So there is such an interface? Li Cheng, who couldn't figure out the situation, shouted: "GM, is GM there?" Explain to me about reputation, achievements, skills, and what pets, mounts, and birds are used for! Come on! ”
Li Cheng shouted for a long time, no one answered, and the inexplicable appearance of the crystal interface made Li Cheng even more confused, and after calming down, Li Cheng was a little puzzled, feeling that this number was a bit strange.
Prestige 5, isn't there five cowboys in Grizzly Bear Ranch? Does prestige have more to do with the number of employees you have? Or do you really serve your own subordinates? Achievement 10? What have you accomplished? Subdued the Red Rabbit Horse and Xiong Da and Xiong Er?
Although he doesn't know what the role of pets and mounts is, Li Cheng faintly feels that this interface seems to be explaining that Red Rabbit Horse, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er can also enter this space?
Say what kind of game it is.,There's no relevant game rules and upgrade conditions.,Say no.,The mode of this interface is exactly the same as a web game!
"I don't understand, I don't understand!" Li Cheng fixed his eyes, and a door opened, and the chaotic cosmic vortex was attracting Li Cheng to enter.
"Do you want to enter this first door? See what's going on? No, try to open the other doors? Li Cheng tried to open the rest of the doors, but they couldn't open them, what is the magic of this door that opens automatically?
"Probably won't take me to the other world, right?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Cheng's curiosity overcame reason and stepped into the first door!
