Volume 1: The Great Song Fengyun Chapter 051: Killing the Tartar Soldiers (9)
Xue Jin'er said while untying the reins of the sweaty horse: "Brother Shuang swallowed it on the rake in one gulp!" Jin'er's golden eagle can't help but be empathetic and understanding, and last autumn Jin'er and her grandfather were digging lotus roots on Parrot Island; When the four bad wolves saw the sweaty horse tied to the big tree on the riverbank alone, they outflanked it and tried to eat it! ”
After a pause, he cleared his throat and said, "The sweaty horse saw the four wolves surrounding him, desperately screaming and kicking; Grandpa heard the horse's cry and said that he might encounter a wolf or a leopard, and Jin'er hurried to the horse! ”
Xue Jin'er said and looked around, and saw that there was silence on the bank of the river; When the burning reeds burned in front of the river, they extinguished themselves, and then laughed and said, "The fire has been extinguished!" ”
Dingjing continued the previous words: "Jin'er and Grandpa rushed to the sweaty horse for some distance, and the golden eagle saw this, so they flapped their wings and flew to the sweaty horse; See a wolf has bitten one of the horse's legs! The trail erupted instantly, pecking at the wolf's eyes; When the other three wolves saw the majesty of the golden eagle, they dragged the blind wolf and fled; Since then, whenever a sweaty horse is tied to a big tree alone, the golden eagle will be a guardian for it! ”
Miss Jin'er's words brought tears to Zheng Shuang's eyes, he said that he really didn't expect the golden eagle to be so humane; Horse-ridden.
Xue Jin'er smiled and stepped on the sweaty horse, touched the horse's body and showed off to Zheng Shuang behind her: "This horse was given by the Khan of the Night Fall when Jin'er and Grandpa went to Ganzhou to the Uighur Kingdom!" ”
Xue Jin'er said and twisted her body on the horse's back, and continued: "Sweat and blood BMW has thin skin, and the blood flowing in the blood vessels is easy to see when running; Horses have well-developed sweat glands on the shoulders and neck, and when horses sweat, they are first damp and then wet; After sweating, the local color will appear more vivid, giving people the illusion of bleeding, so it is called sweat and blood horse! ”
Xue Jin'er chattered, waiting for Zheng Shuang to climb on the horse; Zheng Shuang made several efforts and couldn't get on horseback, and twice went up and slid down!
Xue Jin'er stared at her and frolicked: "It turns out that Brother Shuang is really a good mallet, and he can't even get on the horse?" How can a manly man not be able to ride a horse! ”
Zheng Shuang couldn't get on the horse, and he sat on the ground and was disheartened: "Sister Jin only knows how to sell her mouth!" Can't you teach Zheng Zi to ride a horse? ”
Xue Jin'er jumped off the horse with a flick of her legs, and said with a smile: "Jin'er said earlier that she would teach Brother Shuang to ride a horse, but I thought you would get on the horse; It turns out that the mallet is not one or two! ”
Xue Jin'er dug Zheng Shuang up, and then said: "As long as Brother Shuang is serious, when we rush to Tianzhuling Racecourse, you will be a knight!" ”
Zheng Shuang bowed and said, "Amitabha! Thank God! Zheng Zi really met a real god! ”
After a pause, he stuck out his tongue comically and said, "Sister Jin let Zheng Zi hug it!" Dare not teach Zheng Zi to ride a horse? See how Zheng Zi comes to spank your ass! ”
Xue Jin'er glanced at Zheng Shuang and said, "Don't say something bottomless and faceless!" ”
As he spoke, he took the sweaty horse in his hand and shouted: "Listen to the stupid goose, the horse's sense of touch is very sensitive; A qualified rider uses the horse's sense of touch to convey human intent! For example, patting the horse's neck makes the horse feel something! ”
Xue Jin'er said as she gently patted the horse's neck and said, "Look clearly, you have to shoot like this; Horses are obedient! ”
After a pause, he raised his arms and said: "When the horse is angry, the ears will be put back against the neck, and the head will be raised or nod and blow; This means that the horse is likely to be aggressive, and it is necessary to keep a certain distance from the horse when you find this sign; When the horse is impatient, it is manifested by restlessness and the forelimbs are constantly plowing the ground; Pay attention to its emotional changes to prevent problems, after all, horses are animals; Don't be hurt by it! ”
Zheng Shuang sighed: "Zheng Zi usually watches others ride horses so freely, it turns out that there are so many famous halls!" ”
looked at Xue Jin'er in surprise and said, "Sister Jin'er knows so much about the nature of horses at a young age, she really deserves to be the descendant of the Xue family general!" ”
Xue Jin'er glanced at Zheng Shuang and said with a smile: "Don't make a sycophant!" ”
After a pause, he raised his arm and said: "Sister Jin rode a horse with her grandfather on the Tianzhuling grassland when she was five or six years old, and it was easy to run up and down and even somersault on horseback, and she knew a little bit about the nature of horses!" ”
Gege smiled and continued: "The horse is a spiritual animal with the ability to learn and remember; As long as it is handled properly, it will work closely with the rider's movements. On the contrary, it is difficult to understand if you have used excitement at will, and it is easy for shocking things to happen! ”
Xue Jin'er walked to the side of the horse, turned back to the horse in the oblique spur, and said, "When approaching the horse, you should come from the front diagonally, and do not make violent or sudden movements in front of the horse; The horse's kicking skills are not in vain! When approaching the horse, speak softly and communicate feelings! ”
He smiled and said, "Before getting on the horse, you must check whether the horse's belly belt is tightened, and whether the reins and pedals are firm; You also have to adjust the length of the foot and the position of the saddle! Come, Brother Shuang will take the horse and try it......"
Zheng Shuangxing rushed forward and stood in front of the horse to hold the reins, Xue Jin'er picked up the flute and waved it on his ditch egg and said, "How to hold it!" The lead horse should be on the left side of the horse, parallel to the horse's head or shoulder; Never go ahead of a horse! ”
paused, pulled the reins of the horse from Zheng Shuang's hand; Carrying it in his own hand, he demonstrated: "Hold the reins with your right hand at the lower part of the horse's head, and extend your right arm; The reins should not be wrapped around your hands. The excited horse should be shortened, and the arm should be stretched out when the horse turns to the right; Just let the horse's head turn to the right first! ”
Zheng Shuang operated according to Xue Jin'er's movements, and it was really very practical.
Xue Jin'er pulled the reins of the horse from Zheng Shuang's hand again, stepped on the stirrups and demonstrated: "When riding a horse, don't step too deep on the pedals, it's best to step on the stirrups with the front third of your feet; If you step too deeply, the hind legs of the horse are dragged on the stirrups, and the horse kicks and jumps and drags; The rider's life is in danger! ”
Zheng Shuang bowed deeply to Xue Jin'er, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in horseback riding, Zheng Zi is convinced!" ”
Xue Jin'er smiled and continued: "The rider's effective weapon to control the horse is the reins, and the horse cannot be felt through the reins when there is any abnormal movement; It's easy to lose your center of gravity and fall off your horse! ”
He grinned and said solemnly: "The reins of the hand should be lowered, and the reins should not be wrapped around the hands or tied to the waist; When the horse is frightened, the rider must be calm and not shout, but comfort the horse through soft sounds and movements, such as gently patting and slowly stroking the horse's neck, and never be nervous; At the same time, control the horse calmly - pull the reins of the horse vigorously and quickly pull from side to side, clamp the horse's belly with both legs, and shout"; If you can't calm the horse, pull a bridle to make the horse spin around or slow down near the railing! ”
His head turned around on the Neck Lang Pavilion, stared at Zheng Shuang and said, "Don't run when riding a horse downhill, the reason is that the horse's hind legs are stronger than the front legs; But most of the horse's weight is supported by the front legs when going downhill, which is easy to cause the embarrassment of the horse losing its front hooves! When the horse loses its front hooves, it should hold the reins in time and lean back with the center of gravity, under normal circumstances, the horse loses its front hooves because the horse's front legs are weak or the front legs trip or step on something; For example, rat holes, pits, etc. At this time, the horse's front legs are already overwhelmed, and if you hug the horse's neck again, it will increase the pressure on the horse's front legs, causing people to turn over on their backs! ”
Xue Jin'er talked about the essentials of horseback riding, and Zheng Shuang was about to move: "It's better to practice than to listen, Zheng Zi is on a horse and practice!" ”
Zheng Shuang said, walked up to the sweaty horse and touched the horse's neck; The long legs stepped onto the horse, and this time it did not slip down again.
Zheng Shuang was overjoyed, grabbed his bridle and straightened up in the saddle; Put your feet firmly on the stirrups, and then clamp the horse's belly between your legs; And the horse ran forward.
Zheng Shuang was overjoyed in his heart, and galloped from slow to fast on the bank of the river.
Zheng Shuang looked around on the horse, only to see the Tianzhu Ridge in the distance getting closer and closer; Nearby, the river slid like lightning.
Zheng Shuang rode up and couldn't help singing the song "Horses, You Walk Slowly":
Horses, you go slowly, you go slowly,
I'm going to get enough of this magnificent view.
The fertile earth seems to be soaked with oil,
Ten thousand acres of fertile land seem to be paved with gold.
I haven't seen the green mountains dripping beautifully picturesque,
I've never seen people make a good harvest in the painting,
I've never seen green grass like a silk carpet,
I've never seen horses and cows on a green silk blanket.
……
Xue Jin'er saw that Zheng Shuang had mastered the skill of horseback riding so quickly, and she was complacent and sang on horseback; He waved the flute in his hand at him and said, "Come back, come back, come back!" ”
Zheng Shuang sped up and circled around Xianghe Bay a few times before returning, and drove the horse to Xue Jin'er to restrain the horse's head; Turned over and dismounted and stood in front of Xue Jin'er, bowed deeply and said, "Sister Jin'er, how are Zheng Zi's riding skills!" ”
Xue Jin'er took the transverse flute in her hand and spun it and snorted coldly: "Just started, if you want to be a good rider, you have to climb and roll and continue to practice......
Xue Jin'er spoke, waiting for Zheng Shuang to get on the horse; Seeing Zheng Shuang standing on the ground and not moving, he said "hey, hey" a few times: "Why are you a stupid goose again?" Not on horseback yet! ”
Zheng Shuang saw Xue Jin'er greeting, picked up the red travel bag from the ground, put it on his back, walked to the sweaty horse, sat behind Xue Jin'er with long legs, and hugged her waist tightly!
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xue Jin'er shouted angrily: "Don't always want to be cheap, now you are the driver, Sister Jin'er will take a break!" ”
Xue Jin'er said, stuffed the reins of the horse into Zheng Shuang's hand and said, "Here, hurry up!" ”
Zheng Shuang grabbed the reins of the horse; One arm tightly wrapped around Xue Jin'er's waist and drove the horse forward.
The sweaty horses galloped on the banks of the Xianghe River, and Zheng Shuang said with interest: "Sister Jin, did you say that we will still be here when we rush to the Tianzhuling Horse Farm?" ”
Xue Jin'er pondered for a moment and said, "Tartar is walking now, although we have been delayed here for a little time; But now riding on horseback and chasing after them will definitely catch up with them......"
