Chapter 120: Horseback riding

Six Fingers thought about it for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem, although this deer is relatively late, but if it is taken care of, it will definitely be fine to survive this winter." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but this deer is still too small, and Xiangxiang wants to raise it, so she has to wait for it to be weaned. ”

Tang Ge smiled at Yuexiang when he heard this: "Did you hear it, the deer is still too small now, you can't take it away." When it's a little bigger, you'll be able to keep it. ”

Yuexiang thought for a while and asked Tang Ge, "Then can I come here to play with it?" ”

Tang Ge looked at Six Fingers, and Six Fingers hurriedly replied, "Of course you can." If Miss Xiangxiang often comes to play with the fawn from now on, the fawn will like Xiangxiang more, and when it grows up, it will listen to you more. ”

Xiangxiang applauded and laughed, "Great! Then I'm going to play with the fawn every day! ”

Tang Ge smiled with satisfaction: "Then shall we give the deer a name?" ”

Xiangxiang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No! The names of the little tigers and little monkeys are all from you! My fawn wants me to come up with my own name. ”

Tang Ge laughed when he heard this, and asked, "Then what name are you going to give the little deer?" ”

Xiangxiang said without thinking: "These deer are too stinky, so the deer is called stinky!" ”

Tang Ge smiled: "How do you call it stinky?" It's ugly! ”

Xiangxiang argued: "It's not bad at all! I like to call him stinky! ”

Tang Ge shook his head speechlessly. At the age of four or five, it is the time to start learning all kinds of cognition. In the simple thinking of the little girl, the animal shed is stinky, and the deer should naturally be called stinky. Although this name is not good, Tang Ge does not plan to correct it. Just like the little girl herself said, her little deer, the right to name it naturally belongs to her.

So Tang Ge nodded and said to Yuexiang: "Okay, this little deer is called Stinky and Stinky." But today my brother has to go somewhere else to do errands, and Xiangxiang will come to play with Xiaolu tomorrow. Good no good? ”

Yuexiang bit her fingers and thought for a long time before asking, "What day is tomorrow?" ”

Tang Ge smiled: "Tomorrow is tomorrow." ”

Yuexiang asked seriously: "Is it waiting for dark, after I wake up, it will be tomorrow?" ”

Tang Ge and Six Fingers were amused by Yuexiang's innocent words, and the little girl who had been laughing had a frost on her face, and Tang Ge hurriedly explained: "Yes." When you fall asleep at night and wake up again, it's tomorrow. ”

The little girl nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand at the deer, and said reluctantly: "Goodbye deer, you have to be obedient." I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

Leaving the deer shed, Tang Ge came directly to the stable. These eight horses are what Tang Ge cares about the most.

Eight separate stables are lined up in the stables, and the key horses are leisurely eating their own forage. There are eight horses in total, but they are black, white, red, and flowery, and there are all kinds of hair colors, and the colors are very mixed.

Tang Ge came to a stable, and living in this stable, there was a black horse with white spots, this horse had been unreined, and when he saw Tang Ge approaching, he looked at him curiously.

Tang Ge touched the head of the black horse, the black horse did not have the slightest intention of resisting, let Tang Ge's little hand gently rub the top of its head, and even took the initiative to lower his head a little in order to cooperate.

"What age are these horses?" Tang Ge asked.

Six fingers replied: "This batch of horses, except for the white horse inside, which has four teeth, the others have two teeth, and it is the time to have strength." As he spoke, the six fingers stepped forward to support the black horse's dismounting, and with a slight break of the other hand, the black horse opened its mouth in cooperation, Tang Ge took a look, and found that the pair of horse teeth in the middle was obviously thicker than the other teeth, so he nodded with satisfaction.

The teeth of livestock grow with age. Experienced people only need to open their mouths and look at the animals to know the age and health of the animals. Only the two middle pairs of teeth of this horse are large teeth (two on the top and the bottom), and the others are young teeth, commonly known as two teeth. This shows that the horse has just matured, and it is the time when it is young and strong. If it is six teeth, it means that the horse's physical strength has begun to decline. If it is eight teeth (eight on the top and eight), it means that the horse's old meat is no longer boiled. Tang Ge was afraid of buying back a group of useless old horses, but now that he has verified it himself, he is finally relieved.

"These are well-trained horses?" Tang Ge asked again.

Six Fingers explained: "It's all fed in small numbers. Such a horse is obedient and will not hesitate. There are people in Zhongzhou who specialize in raising horses, and these horses are also sold from there. ”

Tang Ge asked, "There are many wild horses in the wasteland, why don't you go and catch them in the wasteland?" ”

Six Fingers smiled: "Those horses are wild and not easy to domesticate." As soon as they carry things, they can't get along well with other beasts, so the pack beasts of the caravan generally don't use wild horses. ”

Tang Ge nodded, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

After a moment, Tang Ge looked at the reins hanging on the wall of the stable and asked, "Can these horses be ridden?" ”

Six Fingers asked with some surprise: "You can ride, but you must pay attention to safety." How? Young witch wants to ride a horse? ”

Tang Ge nodded, pointed to the black horse and said, "That's it." You put on the reins, and I'm going to ride. ”

Six Fingers said with some embarrassment: "Young Wu, maybe you don't know. These animals are not fun to ride, not only are they very bumpy, but their backs are also slippery, and they are easy to fall. The cows over there are good, with wide backs and thick meat, and they can walk steadily. If you want to have fun, why don't you try bull riding? ”

Tang Ge couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not a cowboy, he rides a fart cow!" Besides, what's so fun about bull riding! If you want to ride, you have to ride a horse. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put on the reins, I am sure to ride this horse today. ”

Six-finger sighed, and took a set of reins with some helplessness, and the black horse cooperated with Six-Finger to put it on him. At this time, the reins are also quite simple, nothing more than tying a rope around the horse's face and neck, and then connecting a rope as a leash. In Tang Ge's opinion, such a rein is very unscientific, and the rope around the neck is tied relatively tightly in order to prevent it from falling off, which will directly affect the horse's breathing and cause the horse to not be able to exert its physical strength with all its might.

Leading the horse out of the stable, Six Fingers asked worriedly, "Shaowu, you really don't think about it?" If I fall on you, my sin will be great. ”

Tang Ge said: "Don't fart!" Even if I fall, no one will trouble you. Hurry up and find a place for the master to get on the horse! "Although this horse is not majestic, it is also about six or seven meters long, and if you don't use tools or terrain, it will be a huge test for Tang Ge's height to climb onto its back.

Six Fingers led the horse to a big stone with a sad face, let the black horse stand still against the big stone, Tang Ge climbed onto the big stone, and with a light step, he sat on the horse's back. These horses have been carrying things since they were young, so they have not resisted the slightest act of being ridden on their backs.

Tang Ge had played horseback riding in his previous life, but it was the first time to ride a horse without any saddle. As soon as he sat on horseback, Tang Ge understood why even Six Fingers said that it was not safe to ride a horse. The horse's back was slippery, Tang Ge didn't sit firmly, and almost slipped down from the other side, it took a lot of effort to find the right position, and after his legs clamped the horse's belly, Tang Ge dared to let the six fingers lead the horse slowly forward.

Six Fingers controlled the horse's speed in fear, staring at Tang Ge without blinking. He decided that as long as Tang Ge's situation was slightly wrong with him, he would immediately come forward to help, even if he put himself under him, he would definitely not fall Shaowu. He knows, don't look at Tang Ge's young age, but he is the baby bump of all the people, and anyone who sees this little boy is loved and respected from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, if he let the people know that he was injured here, it is estimated that he will not have a good life in the future.

As soon as the horse took two steps, Tang Ge knew why no one was riding a horse. Originally, he finally found a riding posture, but as soon as the horse took a step, with the twisting of the horse's back muscles, he immediately swayed him upside down, sliding his butt back and forth on the horse's back, and his body swayed left and right, and he couldn't sit steadily at all. He had only taken a dozen steps, and he had almost fallen twice.

Six Fingers hurriedly grabbed the reins and asked Tang Ge, "Young Wu, you see what I said is right, right?" Why don't we ride it? ”

Tang Ge raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Take your horse well, I don't believe it today, master, how difficult it can be to ride a horse!" ”

Six Fingers had no choice but to lead the horse slowly forward again.

In fact, it was not difficult to ride a horse, in the earliest times, there was no saddle, and the knights rode on bareback horses. The reason why Tang Ge can't sit steadily is that he has never ridden and is not used to this kind of bump. The second is because he has short legs and can't wrap his legs around the horse to fix his body like an adult, so he staggers from side to side. If you change to an adult, it probably won't take long to get used to it.

Ignoring the frightened six fingers, Tang Ge struggled to adjust his posture on horseback, while Yuexiang bit her fingers and stared at the side with envy.

Tang Ge sat on the back of the slick horse, circled around the stable, and after more than ten laps, Tang Ge finally found the center of gravity and was able to ride on it steadily.

After adapting to this riding method, Tang Ge was extremely excited, and kept urging the six fingers to go faster, but the six fingers were worried about falling into Tang Ge, so they refused to speed up. The impatient Tang Ge snatched the reins and gently knocked the horse's belly with his foot, and the black horse immediately trotted up. Six Fingers was shocked and hurriedly trotted all the way to the side.

Tang Ge got used to the horse's back for a while, and found that although he felt a little bumpy at this time, he was still able to sit steadily, so Tang Ge was overjoyed and knocked the horse's belly again, and the speed of the black horse increased again. The breeze was blowing, and the feeling of wind in his ears made Tang Ge very excited, so he urged the horse to speed up again and again, and finally, the black horse spread its four hooves and began to run rapidly with a bang. Seeing this, the little tiger Adam was also interested, and the tiger roared and ran happily next to the black horse.
