Chapter 8 The boy bends his bow and shoots the eagle
There was only a "plop" sound, as if a wall had collapsed, and it was not Temujin who was struck on the ground, but Hemur.
It turned out that when Heimur lifted Temujin above his head, Temujin's hand quickly shone on the back of Heimur's head with a palm, and this palm slashed into Heimur's Fengchi acupoint impartially. Heimur's eyes darkened, and he slammed into the ground. Temujin took advantage of the strength of Hemur's hands, and with a leap as light as a swallow, he landed steadily on the ground, took out a thin rope from his bosom to tie the rabbit, and tied Heimur with his backhand. Get up and clap your hands and say, "Big camel sleep for a while!" ”
This wonderful wrestling match provoked the crowd to chant countless times: "Temujin! Temujin! Temujin! ”
The leaders of the Golden Nobles opened their mouths in shock, unable to believe what was happening in front of them, and sighed. He Erlun happily gave a thumbs up to the frequency. It is also necessary to owe the body, and it is difficult to hide the joy.
At this time, Temujin had already walked up to Mongeza, who was the first in riding, and said, "It's your turn, your riding skills are indeed good, what do you say?" ”
Mongeza looked at Temujin contemptuously and said, "Don't think that your little idea can be fooled, I am not a black mur. Hum! ”
Temujin leaned forward and whispered, "Gorilla, you have lost worse than Hemur!" ”
Mongeza looks like a gorilla and is most afraid of being called a gorilla. Provoked by Temujin like this, he was immediately furious, and reached out to grab Temujin. Temujin flashed back and said, "Do you want to wrestle?" You're the loser of my men, and you're still wrestling for me, it's too self-conscious, so let's come to your strengths, but you'll still lose in riding. ”
Mongeza was mocked by Temujin, his teeth and claws, and he shook his big face and sneered at Temujin, who just "giggled" and laughed. At this time, Todol ran over and stood between the two and said, "Since you two want to compete in riding, then abide by the rules of riding, not only to compete in speed, but also to compete in riding skills......
Before Toduo could finish speaking, Mengeza suddenly yelled impatiently, "Don't be verbose! Come on! ”
Ignoring Mongeza, Todo continued to shout, "Temujin won the first round. The second round was a riding competition between Temujin and Mongeza. ”
Mongeza asked the servant to lead his big black horse around the field and make a show. Oh, what a horse. Tall and fat, with black and shiny hair, pointed ears and a raised tail, it looks like a good breed among horses. Coupled with the golden and luxurious saddle, it is brilliant and awe-inspiring. Mongeza took the reins, and without stepping on his feet, he flew on his horse, sat firmly in the saddle, and made a slashing gesture to Temujin.
Temujin bent his index finger and put it in his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and a loud "whistle" resounded over the grassland. Before the whistle fell, a silver-gray horse passed through the crowd, ran to Temujin with joy, lowered his head and rubbed Temujin's face, and raised his head to the air and neighed a few times. Temujin jumped up and smoothed the long neck of the milky horse, and the milky horse meekly raised its front hooves and put it on Temujin's shoulder, and the people and horses were like a pair of friends, which surprised the audience. What is even more amazing is that Temujin's horse is a naked horse, unsaddled, unbridled, and haltered. Hehe, how can this horse race?
When everyone was puzzled, Temujin patted the horse's back, and the front of the Milky Way horse leaned down slightly, and Temujin took advantage of the situation to "rub" the wide horse's back, brushed the long horse's mane and said, "We must defeat him!" ”
The milky way horse shook his head and "smack" twice, which means rest assured, master.
Temujin and Mongeza rode their horses to the starting position, and Todo shouted down with his hand: "The equestrian competition begins!" ”
The two horses flew out like arrows from a string.
The black horse was already tall and long-legged, and Mongeza did not wait for the "start" exit of the deduo to rush out of the horse, and the milky horse could only follow behind the black horse's shelter, but Temujin was not in a hurry or impatient, nor did he rush the horse, but did all kinds of movements on the horse like an acrobatic show, standing on the horse's back for a while, drilling under the horse's belly for a while, or attaching it to the horse on the side or right, pulling the horse's tail upside down for a while, and hooking the horse's head and falling on the horse's neck for a swing, winning the applause of the audience.
Seeing that everyone was applauding Temujin, Mongeza also performed various riding and archery maneuvers on the horse. However, the black horse had a saddle on it, and he did not do anything as easily and gracefully as Temujin, and the more he tried to do it, the more he made mistakes, and several times he almost slipped off the horse. At this moment, Temujin seized the opportunity and pressed the front clamp of the galaxy horse and said, "Go ahead!" ”
The milky horse received the master's secret signal, and rushed from the right side of the black horse to the front of the black horse. Temujin climbed on the Galactic Horse's body to reduce resistance. Coupled with Temujin's small size and light weight, and the weight of a saddle, the Milky Way Horse was like running naked alone, and after a while, he left the big black horse behind.
After Mongeza found out, it was too late. In the final three laps, the Galaxy Horse was well ahead of the dark horse by more than half a lap. The victory was decided, Temujin straightened up, flipped backwards and sat on horseback, pointed at Mongeza and said with a smile: "Gorilla, come chase, come, come!" ”
The audience laughed too. Mongeza found out that he had been fooled and desperately beat the black horse, trying to catch up. But it was too late, at this time the galaxy horse ran faster and faster, soaring in the air, and it was impossible to see the four hooves on the ground, and when it was almost time to sprint, the black horse still had a lap away.
"Temujin! Temujin! Temujin! There was another boiling shout, and there was no doubt that Temujin had won the second game.
Temujin crossed the finish line, jumped off his horse, stroked the neck of the milky horse and kissed his ear, and said, "Well done! ”
When the Galactic Horse received the master's reward, he jumped up happily on all fours, and for a while he was happy, and then leaned on Temujin and licked Temujin's little hand with his long tongue, which caused an uproar in the audience.
In the midst of the uproar, Herik, who was the first in archery, came behind Temujin and shouted: "Temujin, don't be complacent too soon, I will defeat you!" ”
Temujin looked back at Herik and smiled, "Okay, show off your unique skills." ”
The third round was about to begin, and Monlik had two copper coin targets set up at a distance of 100 meters, and the copper coins were hung from a horizontal stick with silk thread. Whoever shoots the copper coin wins.
Temujin and Herik each took their bows and arrows. Ready to draw the bow with an arrow. Deduo shouted "start", "Whoosh! Sou! The two arrows were fired almost at the same time, and with a "dang long" sound, the two copper coins also landed at the same time. Draw! One more round, let the two Pegasus shoot copper coins. The difficulty increases.
The two of them each mounted their own horses and circled and galloped in the middle of the field, and Todo shouted, "Go!" The two of them took arrows and drew bows in the middle of the pegasus, and "whoosh" and two copper coins landed together. Another draw.
What to do? I am afraid there is no end to this comparison. At this moment, three eagle eagles flew in the air, and Duoduo shouted with a wit: "Whoever shoots down the three eagle eagles in the sky will be the winner!" ”
The two received the referee's order and immediately prepared bows and arrows.
Todo shouted, "Are you ready?" ”
Temujin nodded and said, "Temujin is ready, uncle!" ”
Helikli also looked at the sky, a little stunned. The accuracy of stationary archery is impeccable, and the moving target can only be said to have a high probability, such as hunting, for the prey that is running, it can be shot anyway, and as for the middle there, I am not sure in my heart. Air targets are small and fast, and it is really difficult to hit every arrow.
Wait for the password of Deduo "Start!" "Whoosh, Herrick!" "I shot an arrow first, but it missed and missed. Wait for the second arrow to be drawn with the bow. The three eagle eagles have landed on the ground.
It turned out that Temujin had three arrows in one bow, and the three arrows were not missing, and before Helik could send the second arrow, the three eagles were hit by the arrows and landed.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the audience was terrible, and the mountains were boiling like a tsunami, "Temujin! Temujin! Temujin! "Hero! Hero! Hero! "One after another, resounding through the prairie.
At the end of the three tournaments, the miracle turned Temujin into a steppe hero without a doubt. At this point, the name of the young Condor hero spread to all the tribes of the Mongolian steppe.
On this day, the autumn is high and cool, the grass is fat and the horses are strong, and it is a good time for hunting. Temujin carried a bow and arrows on his back, rode the red-maned hused horse of his father Khan, galloped out of the camp and came to the Mongolian steppe hunting grounds. When the horse was galloping, suddenly, a cunning rabbit in front of him burst out, Temujin Pegasus took an arrow and drew a bow, and a "whoosh" arrow whistle sounded, and the cunning rabbit galloping in the distance fell to the ground.
Suddenly, a handsome young man rode out of the forest on a white steed, leaned down, almost upside down on the horse, and carried the rabbit in his hand with a copy of his hand.
Temujin was very unhappy when he saw a young man on a white horse about his age snatching his prey. But I saw that the young man looked complacent and arrogant. Arrogance and plundering are inherent in the nature of men in the prairie, and they are beyond reproach. However, this naked plunder is a provocation against oneself. Father Khan once said that it was a shame for the steppe people to face a provocative and cowardly man.
Temujin restrangles his horse's head, raises his bow and arrows and points at the boy, and says, "A good hunter shoots his own prey, but do you play with the arrows in your hand?" Why are you robbing my prey? ”
The young man on the white horse turned his head to look at the little boy on the red-maned huspherd, who was not as tall as himself, and must be younger than himself. However, that look was very noble, and when he sat down, he was still a good horse, and he must be the child of a golden nobleman, and he was very unhappy in his heart. What happened to the Golden Aristocrats? Obviously I shot the prey, insisting that it was his, how could it be reasonable, he held his head high and said: "This prey is clearly shot by me, what's the great thing about you riding a good horse, are you trying to snatch my prey?" ”
"Huh! You shot? Look at the arrows on the rabbit! Temujin thought that this young man was really domineering enough, and the high sun on his head actually talked about the dream of the black sky, which was extremely funny, and said disdainfully.
The young man on the white horse picked up the rabbit in his hand and looked at it, and sure enough, in addition to his own silver arrow, there was also a golden arrow on his body. The golden arrow was engraved with the words "Temujin". "Ah" The young man on the white horse exclaimed in his heart, could this little boy in front of him be the legendary Condor boy, the son of the Mongol Great Khan Temujin?! A boy younger than himself turned out to be a hero who resounded throughout the Mongolian steppe? The arrogance on the white horse boy's face disappeared a lot, but he still said unconvinced: "You! You! Is that the child who shot the condor, Temujin? ”
Temujin raised his head and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't it like? The arrow clearly reads. ”
"Humph! So what? This rabbit also has my arrows on it. The white horse boy lifted the rabbit and shook it, very complacent.
Temujin looked at it in disbelief, and saw that there was indeed a silver arrow that was put together with his own arrow and pierced on the rabbit. I couldn't help but be surprised, this white horse boy didn't look much older than himself, he was dignified, very handsome, and his archery skills were not under him, he must be the child of a nobleman in the grassland, he couldn't help but like it, and smiled very frankly: "Haha, it turns out that you are also a good hunter, and your archery skills are very good, since the rabbit was shot by the two of us, then it is better for each of us." ”
"No way!" The young man on the white horse shook his head and said, "If you are really Temujin who shoots the eagle, do you dare to compete with me?" If you win, I will recognize you as a Condor hero, and the prey will be yours. ”
"Ho-ho! Okay, that's fair, and Temujin would be happy to try it out with you. Temujin saw that the young man on the white horse was going to compete with himself, not to mention how happy he was, this is the hobby and instinct of a grassland man, and only by competing in martial arts can he grow into a big man. So, he replied very happily, "How to compare, you decide." ”
The young man on the white horse looked up at the sky, pointed with his hand, and said, "Whoever shoots down the leading wild goose first will win!" ”
Temujin looked up and saw a flock of geese in the sky flying in a "human" shape from afar, so he nodded and said, "One word is a deal!" ”
The young man on the white horse said proudly: "The horse is difficult to chase!" ”
So, the two little boys took out their arrows from their quivers, put on their bows, and pulled the strings like a full moon, waiting for the geese to fly overhead. When the geese just flew within the range, they could only hear the "whoosh" of two arrows at the same time, and the wild goose leading the air fell in response.
The two boys rode up and hit the goose with both arrows. The difference is that the golden arrow hit the head of the wild goose, and the silver arrow shot into the belly of the wild goose, which was obviously the golden arrow that shot more accurately.
Temujin smiled and said, "You lost!" ”
The white horse boy looked at his arrow, lowered his head and said, "Who said I lost?" ”
The most taboo thing on the grassland is that words don't count, and words are not believed. Temujin was obviously a little angry and said: "You are not a real man!" ”
"Who's going back on their word?" The white horse boy argued.
"It's obvious that you lost, why don't you dare to admit defeat?" Temujin pointed at the young man on the white horse and said, "Do you want to play tricks?" ”
"Who's cheating?" The white horse boy said, "Only two wins in three games can you decide whether you win or lose." I lost this game, and there are two more rounds, so surely you can beat me? ”
"Oh......" Temujin thought for a moment, and seemed to make sense, it was better to be better than to be happy, he had never met an opponent, and now he showed his skills, so he said, "Okay, what do you say?" ”
When the young man on the white horse saw that Temujin had promised to compare again, and that he was innocent and unconcerned and afraid, he secretly began to like each other in his heart. But the psychology of a competitive teenager is that he likes to like, the game is to the game, the win or loss is to win or lose, and he will not stop regardless of the victory or defeat.
The young man on the white horse looked at Temujin, he was not as big as me, he would definitely be able to beat him in wrestling, and if he didn't dare to compare, he would admit defeat. So, he put away his bow and arrows, jumped off his horse and said, "We are better than wrestling, do you dare?" ”
"Huh! Of course. Temujin, knowing that wrestling was a true man's charm, jumped off his horse, put away his bow and arrows, and happily agreed: "Come!" ”
The two little teenagers rolled up their sleeves, tucked their robes, and walked around a few times. Temujin was small, and he was thinking about how to outwit his opponent, but he didn't expect that the white horse boy didn't give him time to think at all. Suddenly, Leng Bu rushed up with an arrow step, crushing Temujin under him.
"You've lost! One draw! The white horse boy said proudly.
"That's right, I lost this game." Temujin was not discouraged at all, and said very calmly, "What about another game?" How about I propose to race horses in this round? ”
Racehorse? The young man on the white horse looked at Temujin's red horse, and then at his own white horse, obviously not very happy. He knew that his white horse was just an ordinary war horse, and Temujin's red horse was a good horse in a thousand miles, and the result of the race could be imagined. However, the best-of-three games and the first two games were all proposed by themselves, and the wrestling proposed by himself was also a big bully, and he had an absolute advantage, and Temujin did not refuse or raise objections. So, he said, "Okay then......"
Temujin seemed to see the worry and reluctance of the young man on the white horse, but felt that his proposal was a bit difficult for a strong man. Father Khan's red-maned huss is the best horse in the steppe, and the white horse is just an ordinary war horse, so the race is unfair and disgraceful to win. So he said: "Hey, my riding skills are not very good, and I definitely can't do it than equestrianism, or you say what you compare in the third game, I will compare anything." ”
The young man on the white horse was worried that he was going to lose, how to end it, and when he heard Temujin say this, he was very grateful, and felt that the little boy Temujin had such a mind, and was very chivalrous, and different, and he felt more admiration in his heart. I was embarrassed to propose the competition again, and I didn't want to compare it anymore, so I said: "Don't compare, I admit defeat, the rabbit and the wild goose are all yours." ”
The young man on the white horse did not have the arrogance and wildness he had before, and Temujin was overjoyed, so he said: "We didn't lose, it's just a tie." The prey is divided equally. ”
"Okay then." The boy on the white horse was obviously very happy to meet a boy of the same age who was wise and brave, and had a big heart, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope to accept his share of the prey.
The young man on the white horse hung his share of prey on his horse and was about to leave, when Temujin stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the white horse and said, "I don't know your name yet, what is your name, which tribe is you?" ”
The young man on the white horse nodded and said, "My name is Zamuhe, and I belong to the Zalanda tribe. ”
"Huh?" Temujin originally thought that the young man of the white horse was a boy from some golden noble tribe, but when he heard that he was a child of the Zalanda tribe, he was a little surprised, so he exclaimed, "You are from the Zalanda clan?" ”
"What's wrong? You also dislike our Zaranta tribe? Zamuhe was surprised to see Temujin, but he didn't expect that the child he liked also hated the Zalanda tribe, so he was angry and rolled up his sleeves to beat Temujin.
