Xi Gui held the reins of the horse, and when he saw that the practice had resumed, he urged the horse to follow Zhang Mengcheng and continue to practice riding. As the only person in the cavalry who was still learning to ride, he was very hardworking, and even in his spare time, he practiced with the help of the cottage's homemade wooden frames.

Although he has been learning to ride a horse for less than two months, he has already been able to complete a lot of riding moves. I believe that if he is given some more time, he will be able to keep up with all the training items of the Jinding Mountain Chinese Army Cavalry.

The smooth progress of his riding training made Xi Gui wonder if it was the blessing of his ancestor Khan Ke Ig-Tei from several generations ago, so he wondered if he should make a tablet and put incense on it.

It's just that Khan cowardly Xue Yi (ke ig-tei) is a few words, and how to write it in the same way, Xigui doesn't know anything. He can only hope for the Xiucai Gong in front of him, the leader of the cottage is really knowledgeable.

Time flies quickly, and half a year has passed since Huihui, to which Xigui originally belonged, was defeated and he was captured in Jinding Mountain. After being rescued by Zhang Mengcheng that day, Xigui was arranged to be incorporated into the infantry team.

Xigui, who was originally complaining about his fate, figured it out by himself in two days. There is actually no difference between being a thief under Hui Hui and being a thief under the leaders of Jinding Mountain.

Xigui gave full play to his hard-working advantages and practiced hard in the infantry team. In the days that followed, he also followed the leaders of Jinding Mountain and went down the mountain to participate in the burning, killing and looting operations. But every time he acted, he tried to stay aside, even if he was ordered to do something harmful, he only carried it out passively, and even if he was whipped, Xigui was unwilling to change.

Xigui's greatest pride is not his ancestor who lived several generations ago. It's that he is willing to endure hardships and work carefully, and live earnestly every day. He will not have any resistance to murder, if it is a robber, a horse bandit, a bully who bullies, or an officer and soldier who loves to steal things.

But whenever he faced the people who were just working hard with their heads down at the loess on the ground every day, just like he had before, Xigui really couldn't let himself start. Every time he saw their frightened expressions, angry and desperate eyes, he always felt like he could see his own shadow.

Xi Gui believed that these people who lived hard should be respected, and he always felt that the calluses on their hands and the deep wrinkles on their faces were much more noble than the jewelry and jade of those dignitaries. Xigui felt that these people who grew food from a wasteland with their own hands, and woven cotton, silk or wool into clothes, were the ones who lived a meaningful life.

Thinking of this, Xigui couldn't help but smile, the words "noble" and "meaningful" were still taught to him by Master Xiucai. Hee-g-ki, who didn't know how to organize words and told other people what he thought before, was often ridiculed for being stupid. But after that escape, when he told Xiucai in front of him to listen, Xiucai also smiled. But it's not like those people laughed at themselves before, but a smile that looks quite comfortable.

Xi Gui learned from Xiucai that he admired those people's feelings because he felt that they were "noble". The way to live that I think is great is "to live meaningfully".

Although he didn't understand what Xiucai said later, what it meant that he was "moved" by his own words, and he chased after Xiucai and didn't say anything, but Xigui knew that Xiucai was not making fun of himself. Master Xiucai is a capable person, and the sweet potato field he presided over was harvested a while ago. Those things called sweet potatoes can collect seven or eight stones for one acre of land, and the average one can collect ten stones, and the highest even collects fifteen stones.

There were so many harvests in the field, which almost made Xigui think that he had seen a monster. In the end, it was calculated that more than 350 stones of sweet potatoes were planted in 30 acres of land, and the people in the entire cottage were frightened. Xiucai later roasted some sweet potatoes and distributed them to Xigui and dozens of students to eat, so that Xigui knew that the roasted sweet potatoes tasted very fragrant.

Xiucai said that with some fine grains, these sweet potatoes are enough to feed 70 people for a year. He also said that the harvest of the next fifty acres would not be less, and it turned out to be the case afterwards. Since then, Xigui has finally learned what it means to be a reader.

……

There was a sudden neighing of the horses behind him, and Zhang Mengcheng immediately stopped the horse for the student, and he looked back. After seeing Xigui patting the horse's neck and signaling nothing to Zhang Mengcheng, he continued to practice. In Zhang Mengcheng's eyes, Xigui is a person who is brave and cowardly. He did not dare to resist the whip punished by the stewards, and he did not dare to take up the weapon in his hand to defend the rights and interests of those whom he felt noble. As a result, everyone in the team thought he was a coward, so they all joined forces to bully him.

But under Xigui's optimistic and serious attitude towards life, the people in the infantry team gradually stopped bullying Xigui, but hoped to become friends with Xigui.

Although Hee-gui is cowardly, he can take his life seriously and treat his friends sincerely. Perhaps everyone in the Jinding Mountain Infantry Team, who seems to do all kinds of evil, has a desire for a positive life in their hearts. Even if all of them refuse to admit it, thinking that they are scumbags who do all kinds of evil. So everyone in the foot team bullied Xigui at first, but then they gradually changed, and they wanted to be friends with Xigui instead. It is because they have discovered that Xigui is a simple and true embodiment of their heart's desire.

Xigui, whose hands have not been stained with blood, finally ushered in the decisive battle between Jindingshan and Sha Liluan. When Jindingshan was suppressed one after another, and there were large casualties, Xi Gui followed the infantry team led by Yu Baocheng and Wei Heyong to support Zhang Mengjin who was in trouble.

Sha Lilu's fierce general, Dadao Xiong, led his men to inflict heavy casualties on Xigui, and all three of Xigui's friends were killed by Dadao Xiong. Xi Gui, who had already hung the lottery at that time, angrily stabbed and killed an enemy cavalryman. Then he attacked the Broadsword Bear, although he was directly knocked into the Broadsword Bear. But it created an opportunity for Zhang Zhaoen to kill the big sword bear. It was only then that Hee-gui showed his bravery to everyone.

After the battle, people found Xi Gui still breathing in the pile of dead bodies, and the people who hurriedly bandaged him took him back to the cottage to recuperate. After feeding the porridge for a few days, it didn't get better, and several friends from the infantry team even found ginseng soup for Xigui to help him continue to hang his life.

But Hee-gui continued to get weaker and weaker, and after a few days, everyone discovered that maggots had grown on Hee-guk's wounds. Everyone hesitated to give him a good time, and then Zhang Mengcheng happened to pass by, and remembered this farmer who could speak a few broken Mongolian words.

Zhang Mengcheng checked it and found that the strip of cloth that bandaged Xigui's wound was too dirty. The treatment of the wound was also too rough, which caused the infection of Kikami's wound. Originally, in this era, wound infection was almost a death sentence. But fortunately, the maggots that grew ate the carrion on Xigui's wound.

Zhang Mengcheng, who found that he was still saved, specially went to the top of Artemisia. Brought in their best knife wound doctor. The doctor retreated Xigui's wound and performed a suturing operation for Xigui with the mulberry white leather thread prepared in advance. Zhang Mengcheng then borrowed a few chickens from the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law in the village to make up for Xigui's body. After some careful treatment, Xigui quickly recovered.

After recovery, Xigui directly found Zhang Mengcheng to express his gratitude. At that time, Zhang Mengcheng was worried about the sweet potato field he planned to cultivate, because although the eldest brother Zhang Mengjin agreed to his plan, he only transferred ten Ding Zhuang and a bunch of his students to him.

Xigui learned of Zhang Mengcheng's troubles and took the initiative to ask for help, and his farm work was perfect. If you want to rank the abilities of some people in Jinding Mountain, Zhang Mengguang has the best riding skills, Ma Xiang Zhongbu is the strongest, Zhang Zhaoen is the most fierce when he fights, Zhang Mengcheng's education is the highest in the cottage, and Fan Shunjiang's riding and shooting is the most accurate, then Xigui is definitely the MAX of farm skills.

In just one day, Xigui finished the work that Zhang Mengcheng originally planned to take three Ding Zhuang to complete. After Zhang Mengcheng returned to the cottage, the first thing he did when he saw his eldest brother was to ask to transfer Xigui to him as a helper.

After all the early-maturing thirty acres of sweet potato fields were harvested, the yield of the sweet potato fields made everyone in the cottage dumbfounded. After that, the yield obtained by the late-maturing fifty acres of yield no longer surprised the cottage people, but happily harvested with Zhang Mengcheng and others.

The two batches of harvested sweet potatoes totaled nearly 1,000 stones. It can almost meet the needs of 200 people in the cottage for a year. With the perfect performance of the sweet potato field this time, Xigui was directly promoted to the cavalry team. Zhang Mengcheng, who is free today, is responsible for teaching Xigui to practice riding.

Time passed like this, and near evening, the second brother Zhang Mengguang finished the training of the cavalry. He found his cherished mount, a horse with a lively temperament and a very divine horse. After that, Zhang Mengguang and Zhang Mengcheng together, beckoned everyone to drive the horses, walked back to the cottage, and met Zhao Wankui and Yu Baocheng on the way back to the cottage.
