The financial problem was solved, the life of the small Taoist temple returned to its former peace, and the matter of learning to ride a horse was included in Xiao Yi's schedule, and it was impatient.

In this era without cars, horseback riding is the fastest and most majestic mode of transportation, if you ride a good horse to run around the street, it will be the same as driving a Ferrari on the second ring road in Beijing......

Glancing at the 'foal cabbage' that was spreading joy around him, this little guy had grown up a lot, and he didn't eat so many cabbage hearts in vain; he usually kept an inch away from himself, the two Hun horses lived in the horse pen, it slept in the house with Xiao Yi, and the other horses slept standing up, it liked to lie down and sleep, and liked to sleep on the kang.

Sometimes Xiao Yat wonders, is this little guy a horse or a human? It's surprising to be smart, do sweaty BMWs have such a high IQ? Or maybe it was reincarnated by a great god, but it was unlucky when it was reincarnated, like the marshal of the canopy, and fell into the horse pen......

A Thousand Miles of Ink Smoke Horse! The aristocracy in the sweat-blooded BMW is equivalent to the global limited edition 'Rolls-Royce Phantom' in later generations, but the 'cabbage' is only a little more than a year old, and the 'dusty' old way who is proficient in the art of Soma tells him that a good horse can not be ridden until at least three years old, and only after the age of six can it really enter adulthood; as the 'cabbage' of the sweat-blooded BMW, the growth period may be extended, and similarly, the life of the 'cabbage' will be much longer than that of other horses......

Having such a BMW and not being able to ride it is equivalent to having a good car but not being able to drive it, you can only watch others drive your good car and take the girl out for a ride, while you can only stay in the guest seat in the back, crying silently with envy......

Yat would never allow such a thing to happen!

A good horse is equivalent to a good car, and with a good car, there can be a beautiful girl, and no girl will marry a poor ** silk who rides a flying pigeon electric car...... Why was Lu Bu able to soak Diao Chan? It's not because he has a red rabbit horse!

With the great dream of the bubble girl, Xiao Yi strode to the horse circle behind the Taoist temple, the two horses sent by the yellow squirrel are fed here, usually the big cow, Ma Liu often rides for a ride, and his saliva is drooling with envy, since the "Rolls-Royce Phantom-Cabbage" can't be ridden yet, then there is no famous car, and it is good to have a second-hand Alto, and a man must have a car...... Oh no, there has to be a horse, no.

Came to the horse circle, the two fat and strong Hun horses were taken care of by Ma Liu, first looked at the saddle, it was flat, it was estimated that it would not be very comfortable to sit on; Then I looked at ...... and no! I looked for ...... again, but I still didn't! Finally, I searched back and forth, and finally determined it...... There were no stirrups in the Eastern Han Dynasty in this era!

Circled around one of the black war horses a few times, [Records of the Three Kingdoms: Wuchou - Xiao Yi has a preference for black all his life, black war horses, black armor, and black military flags、...... In short, even the toilet bowl of the 'Wushou' mansion is painted black; some people say that because the black is solemn, atmospheric, and has an aristocratic temperament, some people say that black belongs to water, and Xiao Yat is the reincarnation of the evil dragon, and he is alive when he encounters water...... Speculation varies!

In short, the preference for all black things has become one of the three unsolved mysteries of Xiao Yat in the future......

There are even gossip historians who believe that the reason why Xiao Yi took refuge in Cao Cao in the future instead of choosing Liu Bei or Sun Quan was because Cao Cao was 'short in stature' and had a dark complexion!

In fact, it was because Xiao Yi found that he was born with dark skin, even if he hid in the house every day, the color of his body was much heavier than others...... So when you are with black things, you don't set off yourself so black, isn't it......

There is no difficulty to get on, there are difficulties, customer service difficulties also have to go, Xiao Yi, who easily got his driver's license in his previous life, felt that riding a horse should be similar to driving, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the fourth year, in the future, he has always been known for his rapid march and offensive like fire, 'Dawei Wuchou Hou' - Xiao Yi, climbed on horseback for the first time!

In the morning, Xiao Yi put the black war horse on the saddle with both sides, climbed up hard, and went out with great interest in the malicious eyes of the Taoist temple......

At noon, the black horse came running back alone......

In the evening, in the deep darkness of the night, a poor black shadow dragged his frayed thighs, covered his choked buttocks, and moved back to the small courtyard of the Taoist temple step by step with all his strength, and then plunged into the house and never came out again.

………………………………

It's time to recite the [Pure Heart Mantra] again, Xiao Yi is lying on the futon today and chanting the scriptures, pouting his buttocks, spreading his legs, and supporting the ground with his hands, as if he is practicing toad skills, but the grinning teeth on his little face, and the appearance of gasping a few cold breaths in pain from time to time are not ridiculous.

After chanting, Xiao Yat began to touch his chin again......

The next day, taking out the pen and ink, Xiao Yi began to draw, this action frightened everyone in the Taoist temple, "What is this young master going to do?" Everyone can see the hexagonal kang every day", seeing Xiao Yi's drawing:

Da Niu's face turned blue and trembled;

Ma Liu's face was pale, and his face was colorless;

Zhang Yan's baby face is wrinkled like a bun;

The old way of 'out of the dust' is fine on the surface, but the heartbeat when meditating and chanting is significantly faster......

Even the colt 'Cabbage', who usually follows Xiao Yat's side, ran away without a trace and took refuge!

As a result, later generations left a sentence after the break: "No worries about Hou drawing------- scare people to death!" ”

On the third day, Xiao Yi took the drawings and triumphantly went down the mountain to find the cattle blacksmith, and then the oil lamp in the blacksmith's house was lit until late...... Very late.

Three days later, the blacksmith Niu Hong came up the hill carrying a large package, a strange-looking saddle, and two semicircular iron rings; When the package was opened, it was a black leather garment, with a narrow collar and short sleeves, tight cuffs, and the pants below were also short and simple, and the whole dress was very close.

Xiao Yi took off the mixed yuan robe with wide robes and large sleeves on his body, and put on a tights designed by himself, I have to say that the craftsmanship of the tailors in the Eastern Han Dynasty is really good, there is no sense of restraint between reaching out and lifting legs, this is the real riding costume!

The little Taoist priest was dressed in a heroic attire, and the others in the Taoist temple imitated it after he went back, and then spread to the entire Crouching Tiger Pavilion, and finally spread to the entire Central Plains by the merchants who came and went from the south to the north......

The saddle is one of the most important inventions in human history. In the past, people rode on the back of a bare horse, and they had to grasp the reins or mane with their hands and clamp the horse's belly tightly with their legs to ride. Not only is it easy to get tired, but it also makes it difficult to use weapons effectively on the back of a running horse, and in close combat, the rider's slash or assassination can easily miss, and the impact of the blades of both sides can even cause the rider to slip off the horse. Therefore, for a long time, in addition to the speed advantage, the cavalry was far inferior to the down-to-earth infantry, so the ancient cavalry often preferred to dismount as infantry and put into the battlefield after arriving at the destination.

The saddle of the Eastern Han Dynasty was relatively large, with two large pieces on both sides, and the front and back were slightly arched and flat, and it was very unstable for people to sit on it, and it was very easy to fall off from the fast horse that was galloping. The saddle designed by Yat is very different: the front saddle bridge is high, and the rear saddle bridge is slightly lower, which is more in line with the physiological structure of the human body, more comfortable to ride, and has two strange iron rings on each side of the saddle.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Xiao Yi took out the two semi-circular iron rings with belts, adjusted the length, and tied them to the iron rings of the saddle respectively; (The structure refers to the string and loop ties of the schoolbag when I was a child). Then he raised his head with his chest up, turned over the saddle and stepped on the horse, sat on the flat and stable, and then knocked his legs on the belly of the war horse, and galloped away in a loud shout.........
