Chapter 41: Horse Racing
Dong Li's horse, which was given to him by Dong Li on Dong Li's eighth birthday, although it is not as good as those Dawan good horses, but it is also the best among the Xiliang horses, not only fast, but also very strong.
In order to take care of Xu Yu before, Dong Li had always used the horse transported by Dong Mansion to compete with Xu Yu. But during this period of time, Dong Li would also use this good horse to fight with Xu Yu from time to time.
However, this horse is good, but if it is compared to Xu Yu's Moyu, it is not a little bit worse. This is also the reason why Dong Li has always been jealous of Xu Yumoyu.
If you follow the development in the original book, although Dong Li's status in the Dong Mansion at this time is not too low, it is not too high. If it weren't for Dong Li's status that had grown a lot after Xu Yu's arrival, it is estimated that Dong Li would not have so much right to give this good horse to Xu Yu for the time being.
"The old rules?"
The two of them came out of the city and rode to the open area, and Dong Yan couldn't help but speak.
"Of course."
Xu Yu glanced at Dong Yan defiantly, and rode Moyu to take the lead.
"You guy."
Dong Yan shook his head speechlessly, didn't dare to slack off, lightly touched the horse's belly with his feet, and galloped away in the direction of Xu Yu.
This is also the norm every morning, Xu Yu has only been riding a horse for a few months, and Dong Yu has been learning for two years, although Xu Yu has a good horse, but he has no choice but to ride as well as Dong Li, and he will lose to Dong Li almost every morning before. So Xu Yu would set off early every morning.
Moyu is now two years old, and according to modern horse racing, he is already an adult. However, there is a natural law in the animal kingdom, that is, the lifespan is about 5 times that of the growing period, and the general growth period of horses is more than 5 years, so normal horses can live for 25 years.
However, this is the algorithm of ordinary horses, like Moyu, whose parents are good horses of the king of horses, and the growth period and maturity period will be higher than that of ordinary horses. Although it is not as good as Dong Li's later mount, the Lion's Mane Beast, it is not to be underestimated.
Although he has not yet grown to the peak, he is a descendant of the King of Horses. Mo Yu at this age should not be underestimated.
Dong Yu is now ten years old, with a height of more than one meter and six meters, about the same as Xu Yu, and weighs more than 100 catties, which is slightly lighter than Xu Yu. If the two of them don't bring any equipment and ride on the horse, Dong Li will take advantage of it a little.
If it is still the same as before, there is no change in the horses of the two, then Xu Yu estimates that it will take a period of growth equestrianism to catch up with Dong Li.
But now is different from the past, Xu Yu is a person with a terminal.
After riding a horse and running forward, Xu Yu heard the system prompt again.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading his riding (C) skill, the current level is LV3 (0/1000)."
Feeling the horseback riding knowledge from the terminal after the upgrade, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yu's mouth. Then he silently sorted out the key points of horseback riding in his mind and adjusted his riding posture.
"Haha. I'll go ahead and wait for you first. ”
Just as Xu Yu slowed down his horse speed and sorted out the complicated knowledge in his mind, Dong Yu quickly caught up with Xu Yu and made a provocation.
Xu Yu didn't speak, just continued to adjust his riding posture, until he could barely understand Dong Yan's figure. Only then did he silently pat Moyu's back and said:
"Moyu. You've been overtaken by that colt, and you must be very unhappy. Let's work together today to surpass it. ”
Mo Yu is very spiritual, if it is one-on-one, the horse will definitely not be Mo Yu's opponent, but because of many wrong operations when Xu Yu rides a horse, Mo Yu cannot run with all his strength. Therefore, Mo Yu has been holding down in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that this horse would only appear every once in a while, it is estimated that Mo Yu would have kicked Xu Yu away.
However, now that he heard Xu Yu's words, Mo Yu's unhappy mood immediately regained after being surpassed again. After giving Xu Yu a long hiss, he slowly sped up his speed.
Feeling that he was speeding up, Xu Yu did not tighten the stiff rope as before, nor did he clamp his stomach as before, so that he could not use his strength, and Mo Yu suddenly became excited.
Running forward with joy, the speed kept accelerating.
Xu Yu gritted his teeth, stubbornly controlled his desire to pull the stiff rope, and kept adjusting his posture on horseback, so that Moyu could run more easily.
Under the mutual efforts of one person and one horse, Dong Li's figure was seen from afar. It stimulates the running cells in Moyu's body even more. Again, the speed has accelerated.
If an outsider were to measure Moyu's speed now, they would be surprised to find that Moyu's speed at this time had reached a crazy 60 kilometers per hour, which has surpassed many of the top modern racehorses. The record is not far off.
What kind of concept is this kind of speed, which means that in the absence of any protection, once Mo Yuwei breaks his foot or stumbles, it is possible to die.
The first time Xu Yu rode a horse to this speed, it was not possible to sit on the back of a horse and pull the stiff rope, nor did he pull it. The whole person became stiff.
The sweat on his forehead was falling down, and his face was getting paler and paler. Xu Yu didn't dare to think about it, and frantically adjusted his sitting posture according to the knowledge of horseback riding in his mind, and at the same time motioned to Moyu to reduce the speed of the horse.
But victory is in sight, Mo Yu has already run out of character, where will he care about Xu is not afraid.
"I'll wipe it, and I'll die."
Xu Yujin is not, nor is he retreating. But he didn't dare to mess around, for fear that he would affect Moyu, causing one person and one horse to overturn.
Trying to use the knowledge in his mind, Xu Yu kept going up and down with Moyu's running, trying his best to minimize his burden.
Not to mention, the most fearful thing about riding a horse is that you can't let go, the tighter the stiff rope is pulled, the tighter the leg clamp, the easier it is to fall.
As soon as Xu Yu let go like this, it was as if he had found the trick, and the whole person became relaxed. I also knew clearly in my mind how I should be with Moyu's stride, and how I should be with Moyu's jump.
The experience of the skill of horseback riding in the terminal has also increased rapidly, and it has been raised to the limit of the third level in a short time.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for riding (C) skill upgrade, current level LV4 (0/10000)."
The prompt of the terminal sounded again, Xu Yu was even more relaxed, and his cooperation with Moyu became more and more tacit. The distance between Dong Li and his war horse and Mo Yu and Xu Yu was quickly pulled in, and it was surpassed after a while.
"Hahaha, Brother Dong, take your time. I'll go ahead and see the scenery first. ”
Ignoring Dong Li's quick eyes, Xu Yu said a word to Dong Li, turned around and gave Dong Li a provocative look, and then continued to ride on Moyu and run towards the finish line.
"I rub. This, this..."Dong Yan was speechless in surprise, but he didn't have time to complain like Xu Yu.
A man and a horse quickly disappeared in front of Dong Li's eyes, leaving Dong Li alone to ride on the horse silently and struggle.
"Ahh
Finally surpassed Dong Li, and his equestrian skills have also improved by leaps and bounds, Xu Yu couldn't help but shout happily.
In the past life plus this life, for almost forty years in the two lives, Xu Yu has always been accustomed to walking on land. It's okay to ride in a car, but I don't ride a motorcycle or ride it with others because I feel very insecure.
Even if he liked to ride a horse in his previous life, it was because he was influenced by martial arts novels, and for the feelings in his heart, Xu Yu dared to say that he liked horseback riding.
This life is different, when I rode a horse in my previous life, I didn't really like to ride a horse for the sake of feelings. It's okay if the horse is slow when riding, and it's safe to ride on it, but once you get up to speed, even if it's just jogging, it will feel new at first, and it will be boring after running for a long time.
Xu Yu is like this, even if he likes to ride a horse, but he rides every day and crushes his eggs.
But if you don't ride, you can't do it, because mission 2 can't ride a horse or can't do horsemanship, but you can die at any time. In order to add an insurance to his future survival, Xu Yu had to endure the risk of broken eggs even if he was tired of riding a horse, and practiced equestrianism every day.
Xu Yu naturally knew these problems, but in order to complete the task, Xu Yu had to force himself to like it. Therefore, Xu Yu's riding skills have not improved much since he reached level 2.
But today, because of this accident, Xu Yu no longer likes to ride horses because of his feelings, but likes it because he likes it, which is naturally very happy for Xu Yu.
Do you have any friends who can ride horses, and have you ever been upside down when you rode it for the first time? When the author's bacteria were upside down, he left a cold sweat for a long time, although he had long been cured, but every time he thought about it, he didn't feel pain.
