13. Dark clouds tread the snow

A day later, in the afternoon, the new instructor also arrived. And with them came five grooms and seventy horses!

"My name is Baturu, a native of Rongdi. Heavy cavalry commander, big doctor. "The instructors gathered together and introduced themselves in the very unproficient Chinese language." From now on, he will be your mounted archery instructor. You must love your horses more than your own women. Love your horses today and start training tomorrow. "Baturu has a round face, a thick beard, a strong body, and a glittering iron eagle pinned to his chest. There are scars on his face and hands, and the scars on his face range from the right forehead to the left side of his face, making people look like an Iron Eagle Warrior who has fought for a long time!

"Hello Instructor Baturu! I am their handsome Black Mountain, please advise me in the future! Montenegro took the initiative to greet Baturu.

"Handsome Montenegro, your great name Sun Meng has already told me! You have a lot of ghosts, and he is very optimistic about you! "The two salute each other! Baturu said again: "Handsome Montenegro, you go and pick a good horse first, these are authentic Yinshan grassland horses, and the general specially transferred them to you!" ”

"Thank you Instructor Baturu for reminding me, then I'll go pick the horse first, and I'll talk about it later." After saying that, Montenegro walked towards the stable.

The whole camp gathered around the stables, admiring the tall horses one by one. Just like the young people of later generations are very excited to appreciate the sports car that is about to belong to them.

"Go back, don't gather around here, you'll scare the horses here." A new white-bearded old soldier shouted to everyone. The crowd still did not disperse.

"That's not too much to stay, the rest of the people go back, the smell of and horse urine, does it smell so good?" Black Mountain gave an order, and everyone had to leave very reluctantly, standing far away, looking this way. "That's not right, you can pick a good horse for me first, and then pick one for each of the other eight sharps."

He smiled and said, "It's been three months, Shuai Chief, you're finally going to use me as a Tun Chief!" These are all very good Yinshan war horses. I've heard that only the elite heavy cavalry of the Qin army can match such a good horse. ”

"I'm the horse supervisor of the base camp, and I've seen the handsome commander!" The white-bearded military officer bowed to Montenegro!

Montenegro also replied: "Junior, Montenegro, how do you call your seniors?" ”

"I don't dare to be a senior, I will be a soldier under you in the future, my surname is Bi, please call me Bi Sheng." Bi Sheng replied.

"KPM, you get busy first! I'm not quite with that to see for myself. "Montenegro took the whole stable around with it.

"Sir, you can use this horse! He's as young as you, less than six years old, and he's a standard horse in height and length! "That's not quite right.

Montenegro touched the head of the yellow horse, these dozens of horses are all of this color and size. "Then I'll take this one!"

"Whew...!" A long mournful cry of a horse! Montenegro looks at the sound of horses! It turned out that the groom had brought back a large cart of hay! The sound of the horse was the neighing of a black horse pulling the cart! Montenegro seemed to hear the horse's call from the sound of the horse, and said to the horse, "Let's go, let's go and see the forage." ”

Montenegro came to the carriage and looked at the horse pulling the cart seriously, it was tall and long, but it was thin, with pure black hair all over its body, dirty, it seemed that it had been working for a long time and no one took care of it. When the black horse saw Montenegro coming, he rubbed Montenegro's hand with his horse's nose very humanely. Xiao Hei, who was following him, was not happy, and yelled at the black horse a few times! Montenegro felt that this horse was humane and already liked this horse.

"This horse seems to be very psychic," Montenegro said to him, "how about you look at this horse?" ”

"What a good horse!" Before Montenegro could speak, his eyes lit up not too early!

"Hurry up and unload the carriage first." Together with the groom, the Montenegrin speaker unloaded the carriage and led the horse out.

That doesn't take the horse too seriously. After a while, he sighed, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, this horse's hooves are injured and useless, and the pull-up cart is okay." ”

Montenegro is in a hurry! "Isn't this horse good on all four legs? Where did the injury hurt? Then he turned to the groom and said, "Go and call me Bimawin." ”

"Shuai Si, may I ask who is Bi Ma Wen?" The groom asked cautiously.

"It's the KPMG prisoner, tell him to come quickly!" Montenegro shouted anxiously.

"The horse's hooves are made up of two layers, one that touches the ground is a hard horn about three fingers thick, and the upper layer is living. When the horse runs for a long time, the horse's hooves come into contact with the ground, and they will be quickly smoothed or fallen off by the friction of the ground and the corrosion of stagnant water. After smoothing or falling off, the horse should be allowed to rest immediately until new hooves grow, otherwise it will hurt the living keratin and the horse will be useless. The horse was supposed to have lost its left front hoof, and the owner did not let it rest, thus injuring the living horn. Later, when a new hoof grows, there will be a slight crack, and when you run again and step on a small stone, the new hooves will quickly fall off. So this horse can only be used to pull a cart in the future, and it can't be a war horse at all, what a pity! ”

Montenegro looked closely at the place where he didn't point his fingers, and there was really a thin crack on the horse's hooves. "With such a thin crack, this horse is useless, can't you think of a way?"

"Who has a way to do this? Why do cavalry fight with the fastest loss of horses? Most of the horses were lost due to injuries to horses' hooves! That replied with a little sigh.

Black Mountain turned his head and saw that Bimawin had come to his side, so he was so anxious that he scolded: "Bimawin, are you fucking lazy?" How could this horse's foot hurt? What's going on? ”

"Wronged, handsome chief, we serve these horses more than we serve our own children! Where do you dare to slack off? Military law is so strict, you have to lose your head. The horse was already injured when it was handed over to us, and every horse here has a roster with detailed notes. When I handed over the horses, they said that when I bought a horse, this horse was bought for pulling a cart by a wounded horse. KPMG replied aggrievedly.

At this time, the black horse's nose rubbed against the black mountain's body again! provoked the little black next to him to yell at it jealously. Montenegro was very unwilling and said: "KPMWIN, from today onwards, this horse will no longer pull carts." With the best forage, the stables should be the cleanest. This dark horse will be my brother in the future, who wronged my brother? I'm sure I'll clean him up. ”

"That's not very good, you go get a brush, let's bathe the horse!" Montenegro led his horse to the well as he commanded! Seeing that everyone was watching, he hurriedly shouted, "Look at what you see! What's there to see? Dead fat man, gather everyone to practice sword and shield battles! Meatloaf and Brother Ahei, stay and help me fetch water! ”

Four people, two carrying water and two brushing the bristles, were busy bathing the horses. Montenegro asked him again: "How much do you think this horse is worth if it is not injured?" ”

That didn't say very seriously: "The war horses of the Yinshan Grassland are about 10,000 yuan each." If this horse is not injured, it will be worth ten thousand dollars! ”

"Wanjin? Is there such an expensive war horse? Was the horse made of gold? Montenegro thought it wasn't a joke and asked questioningly!

"I followed my father and raised horses in the grassland of Yunzhong County, Zhao Guo, since I was a child. A good horse must have a tubular body, a narrow chest, a long back and hips, and a shiny and thin fur. This horse has all of the above characteristics and is seven feet tall, with a thin head and a tall neck, slender limbs, a slender and graceful body, a high neck, and a perfect body. The most important point is to understand human nature, first-class BMW is human, likes to communicate with the owner, and can understand the needs of the owner. If this horse is not injured, it will be a lot of money! "That's not a lot of talk!

After listening to those words, Montenegro preferred this dark horse. "I must cure you and let you accompany me on the field!" Montenegro said loudly to the dark horse.

"Look at the white fur on the horses' hooves!" Meatloaf shouted.

"The horse was so dirty just now that I didn't even notice that the horse's hooves were white," Montenegro said to the black horse again: "Your name will be Dark Cloud Treading Snow from now on!" I'll just call you big black, do you understand? Big Black! ”

"咴~~". The dark clouds stepped on the snow and let out a long hiss! Seems to be happy with the name.

The four of them were busy for a while, and finally washed the big black clean. Except for the four horses' hooves that are white, all of them are pure black, and there is no miscellaneous hair, which looks very godlike.

"It's too thin now, raise it for another two months, and it will be even more beautiful when you raise it strong!" Montenegro thought to himself.

At night, Montenegro, who rarely suffers from insomnia, can't sleep this time, and his mind is full of thoughts about what to do with the big black horse's hooves? He knew that the Mongol cavalry of later generations, relying on high saddles and stirrups, swept across Europe and Asia. The Mongolian cavalry can gallop thousands of miles, why are they not afraid of being injured by horses' hooves? Horseshoe, nail horseshoe! Montenegro had a flash of inspiration, yes, the current horse has not nailed the horseshoe! If you nail the four feet of Daikoku to the horseshoe, won't everything be solved?

Thinking of this, Montenegro was so excited that he couldn't sleep! Just get up and get out in the shade! At night, the moon was full, the cool breeze was blowing, and the sound of frogs could be heard in the distance. I just remembered that there is a saying, called horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, since the matter of horses' hooves can be solved, then I will go and feed some night grass to the horses. So he stepped on the moonlight and walked in the direction of the stable.

KPMG was taking a few grooms with him to feed the horses in the stable with night grass. When I saw Montenegro coming, I thought Montenegro was coming to inspect the work in the middle of the night. "Shuai Sir, we are feeding the war horses night grass according to the regulations, do you have anything to explain?" KPMG said.

Montenegro simply pretended to be serious about the work and said: "It seems that you are still relatively industrious, and you are not lazy in the middle of the night!" Let me ask you, did you feed the night grass to the big black? ”

"Originally, according to the regulations, you could only feed night grass to war horses, but in the afternoon, you explained that you should feed Da Hei with the best feed, and we will also feed Da Hei night grass from night onwards." KPMG replied.

"If carefully cared for, how long will it take for the big black to return to the strongest state?" Montenegro asked KPWIN again.

"With Da Hei's current physical condition, two months will be fine, but Da Hei's foot has been scrapped, so it's useless!" KPMG replied.

"Hahaha," Black Mountain laughed, "I've already thought of a solution, you just take good care of Big Black, and in two months, I promise Big Black will be the best horse you've ever seen." ”

At dawn the next day, Montenegro still got up early, and as soon as he came out of the room, Baturu next door was already waiting for him at the door! "I also have to learn singing and white crane boxing every day."

"Why do you want to learn?" Montenegro asked.

"I used to fight with Sun Meng, and we were always on par, and the night before yesterday I fought with him, and I lost all of a sudden. I asked him why he was so good? He said that he learned to sing with you and beat me in the white crane boxing! Baturu replied in the Chinese language of turtle feet.

"Then I'll practice together every day!" As he spoke, he walked with Baturu like a school yard.

The other personnel have already been led by Brother Ahei, singing "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", and standing up at the same time! Dong Jian, who practiced better, and Dead Fat Man corrected everyone's movements in the team.

Montenegro personally demonstrated to Baturu and instructed him to stand on the pile! "With your feet shoulder-width apart and the soles of your feet parallel, half-squat in a horseback shape, with your hands straight forward and your palms forward."

"Standing all day, three months at a time, we were already standing very well. Can you hurry up and teach us the kind of kung fu that can throw the fat man out! The troublesome Miron said to Montenegro.

Montenegro knows that Mi Long, the thorn in the head, is stirring up trouble again! After three months of standing on horseback, many soldiers already felt bored. He said loudly to everyone: "For the study of "White Crane Boxing", you must practice hard, for many years, you must learn to coordinate your hands and feet to echo each other, the muscles and joints are harmonious, the veins are through, the spirit is smooth, and the whole body has the tendency to sink and push. If the joints of the whole body run through, you can exert your whole body force as soon as you make a move, and the momentum is like a bamboo. Seeing that everyone was in a fog when they heard it, Montenegro was half-puzzled, so he simply came directly, "Mi Long, you come to attack me!" ”

After saying that, Montenegro picked up a branch, drew a circle on the ground, and said, "As long as you can beat both of my feet out of this circle, you will win." ”

With that, Montenegro squatted in the circle, and his luck was in his palms.

Seeing that Montenegro didn't plan to dodge, Mi Long immediately smashed it towards Montenegro with a punch! On the side of Montenegro's body, he used his right shoulder to meet Mi Long's fist, and at the same time his right hand blocked upward, blocking Mi Long's hand, and pushing his left palm towards Mi Long's chest. Mi Long's punch seemed to hit the wood, and then his right hand was blocked, and a force hit his chest, and he immediately couldn't stand it, and took a few steps backwards and sat on the ground. Everything was only in two breaths, and everyone didn't see it clearly. Montenegro said to Mi Long again: "You come again, just like that, slow motion, we will show you." So the two of them did it again in slow motion. Now everyone can see clearly, it is the fifth step in the seven steps and three battles.

"Everyone must wonder, how could my palm have so much power just now?" Montenegro explained: "When I did it manually, my legs turned from horse steps to lunges, and the power started from the ground of my left foot to my thigh and then to my waist and my arms and palms struck out, although it was only a moment, and the two hands struck out of the palm force from the ground. ”

"Instructor Baturu, you slap this tree with your best strength." Montenegro said to the instructor.

Baturu did not hesitate, and used all his strength to slap a tree the size of a bucket on the side of the school grounds. With a bang, the whole tree shook, and many dead branches and leaves fell.

Montenegro said to everyone: "Instructor, this palm just now only used the palm power of the upper body!" It's not easy to practice to be so big! I'm going to show you my maximum palm. ”

After that, Montenegro stood in front of the tree, took a deep breath, moved his whole body, and slapped his palm on the tree with all his might. With a "bang", the whole tree shook a few times, and many slightly yellowed leaves fell one after another, and it was over after a while. Everyone understands that this palm is many times more powerful than Baturu's palm.

"This is the difference between one's own palm power and the palm power after learning Yongchun White Crane Fist. Do you understand? ”

Now everyone understands it, and everyone applauds! No one is bored anymore.
