Chapter 17: Born to be a Good Rider

The chick lads of the old man Shug, referring to his precious horses.

As soon as Shu Yu and Wen Jing put down their luggage, he couldn't wait to take them to see his baby.

Shu Yu had only seen horses in materials and albums before, but that didn't stop him from liking them at first sight.

Horses are creatures with spirits, their eyes are gentle, their expressions are resolute, and they will never be easily shaken. Old man Xiuge's treasures are well tamed, and they won't hide away from Shu Yu when they are touched - of course, Xiuge warned Shu Yu at the beginning that they should never touch it from behind the horse, which will only frighten them.

Shu Yu held a piece of candy in his hand and sent it to a brown and yellow horse, it sniffed lightly, sniffed Shu Yu's palm, and rolled the sugar into its mouth with a slight roll of its tongue. Shu Yu laughed and touched its nose, not only did it not hide, but also rubbed it twice, as if expressing its love for him.

Wen Jing was taken to see horses when she was very young, and her performance was more skilled than Shu Yu, and one horse even came up and arched her face, making her laugh.

Xiuge looked at her, frowned and shook his head, and said, "Little girl, you can't ride a horse in this body." ”

Wen Jing looked at herself and frowned. Before she came, she hadn't thought about riding a horse at all. In her heart, she just accompanied Shu Yu over, this can only be regarded as a date? But now as soon as she touched the horse, the familiar memories in her heart came back uncontrollably, and she really wanted to ride.

She looked at Xiuge with distress, and Xiuge liked this beautiful and innocent girl very much, and helped her think of an idea: "I have a set of young man's clothes here, and I can wear them for horseback riding, but I am afraid that you will not be clean......"

Wen Jing hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't like to be clean!" As she spoke, she laughed herself and stuck out her tongue quietly.

Xiuge laughed: "Well, little girl who doesn't like cleanliness, I borrow your clothes for you, don't get them dirty!" As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Wen Jing again, revealing an obvious playful look.

Shu Yu watched with a smile on the side. Here, Wen Jing is obviously much more lively than when she was in school, and her expressions are much richer. She was led to the back by Xiuge to change clothes, and Shu Yu stayed here alone and looked at these horses one by one, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them.

He couldn't see it himself, his expression was also very relaxed, Xiuge saw it as soon as he came out, and said with a smile: "The babies like you too!" ”

"Huh?" Shu Yu turned his head suspiciously, "Really?" I love them too! ”

Xiuge patted this horse, touched that one, and said with a smile: "I've been with them for decades, and I've long recognized their expressions!" They all like you very much, and you are very rare! ”

Shu Yu laughed from the bottom of his heart: "That's it, that's great!" He reached over and touched the face with a horse, which came over and rubbed it, stuck out its tongue, and licked him softly.

Xiuge laughed, he handed Shu Yu a towel, there were some stains on it, but Shu Yu didn't care about wiping his face with it. Xiuge was even more happy, and said loudly: "Come, choose one, and we'll go out for a walk in a while!" ”

As if they understood his words, as soon as they said that they were choosing horses, all the horses were in an uproar and took the initiative to move forward.

Xiuge scolded with a smile: "What a make! I took you out for a walk this morning, for two hours! There's something for everyone! What, want to hang out with this kid? Guys who like the new and hate the old, aren't you afraid that I will be jealous? ”

He laughed and spoke loudly as if he could really talk to the horses. Shu Yu listened to his words, and was also very happy, looking at them one by one, only to feel that each one was vigorous and beautiful, with smart eyes and rich expressions, and he was reluctant to leave any of them behind.

Seeing him like this, Xiuge sighed helplessly, and said loudly: "Forget it, let's go out for a run together!" Rejoice! ”

The commotion of the horses suddenly became more intense, and Xiuge said in a loud voice: "If it is not quiet, everyone should not go out!" His words were immediate, and everyone fell silent, except for the occasional snort.

Shu Yu was very amused, and at this time, a voice came from behind him: "Uncle Xiuge, your treasures are so spiritual!" ”

Xiuge smirked: "Of course! He looked at them affectionately and said, "I brought up each and every one of them!" ”

Shu Yu looked back and suddenly laughed: "Little pony! ”

I saw Wen Jing wearing a slightly larger gray-yellow horse servant suit, which was tightly tied with a belt, especially showing the slender waist of the hand. She had her hair tucked into her hat and leggings, and was clearly determined to ride.

Shu Yu looked her up and down, feeling that although this body was not as beautiful as the one just now, it was more light and lively, and it was extremely cute. He laughs and says, "It doesn't look too dirty!" ”

Wen Jing wrinkled her nose cutely, leaned close to him and whispered, "It stinks!" I'm holding it all up! ”

"I hear you!" The thunderous sound of Shug suddenly sounded above her head, startling her. Seeing Wen Jing's shy and angry expression, his laughter became louder, and while he was busy saddleing his horse, he said, "Those lazy guys! For them, it's already clean! ”

As he spoke, he began to winkle his eyebrows: "But my clothes have been worn by such a beautiful little beauty, maybe this guy will never wash this again!" ”

Shu Yu listened interestingly and laughed with Wen Jing.

Here, he felt a whole sense of relaxation, and the careful and always depressed in the school had nothing to do with here, and he thought to himself, this time to accept the invitation of the princess, it was so right!

******************************

Opening the bars of the stables, Hug came out with a large group of horses with great ease.

He didn't saddle all the horses, only selected a few of the most honest and tame ones, Shu Yu is a novice, Wen Jing hasn't ridden for many years, he doesn't want to give them a dismount.

The sky is high and refreshing, the clouds and white wind are light, and the boundless grassland comes with the fragrance of fragrant grass, and Shu Yu's mood is even happier.

Wagley's horse farm is not purely for practice, but also has the meaning of leisure scenery, so it is not as regular as an ordinary horse farm, but allows the grass to grow, only a few places are selected for a little trimming, and a few equipment for hurdling around the column are erected.

Xiuge taught Shu Yu how to get on the horse and how to move with the pace of the horse. Shu Yu was born with a cordial fate with horses, he has been practicing boxing since he was a child, and his body coordination is excellent, and he doesn't need to work hard at all, he is already like a skilled veteran.

With a look of surprise in his eyes, he said, "Good boy, what a natural rider!" ”

Shu Yu looked at the grassland in the distance, with some expectation in his eyes, Xiuge nodded and said, "Go, it's okay!" My horse can't fall you! ”

Shu Yu smiled back, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the brown and yellow horse that stepped forward rushed forward as if it had a spirit. His body rose and fell rhythmically with the ups and downs of the horse's body, and even the horse himself felt that there was no burden on his back, and let go of all his strength and galloped forward.

As soon as he moved, almost all the horses followed. More than a dozen horses followed Shu Yu's brown and yellow horse and galloped wildly, the sound of hooves came and went, roaring like thunder, only a dozen horses, but they ran out of the momentum of thousands of horses.

The horse was extremely fast, and the fierce wind was coming, Shu Yu tried to keep his eyes open in the wind, and after a while, he got used to it. The surrounding grass swept backwards like a flowing green brocade with a barely visible red and white color. Some of the longer grass turned up and cut on a small part of his bare skin, and even the scorching pain brought a kind of pleasure.

The wind is moving, the horses are moving, the grass is moving, the sky and the clouds are flowing together.

Shu Yu only felt that something in his body was flowing with him, as if a strange energy was flowing out of that mysterious heart, flowing along some kind of wonderful trajectory.

Before he could savor it, he heard a hearty laugh behind him.

Shu Yu took advantage of the horse momentum to look back, and Wen Jing actually followed, right behind him! The horse's hooves were mixed up one after another, and he didn't even hear it for the first time!

Wen Jing was not slow at all, her expression was just as relaxed, and she smiled happily at Shu Yu's gaze: "I remembered!" The feeling of riding a horse! It's so comfortable, it's so enjoyable! ”

Shu Yu empathized with her heart and smiled. The brown and yellow horse under his crotch and Wen Jing's red horse ran one after the other, running together with a dozen horses behind him, Xiuge squinted and watched from afar, and his face was full of smiles.

***********************

Shu Yu returned happily, and Xiuge praised again and again: "Good boy, good job!" I'll just say it, born riders! ”

Wen Jing was a little tired, but Shu Yu didn't pant at all, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what will the general equestrian competition be compared to?" ”

Xiuge thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't tell, it's too much." Some of the more boring ones are riding horses and running dance steps, jumping over hurdles, and spinning in circles, and the little family is very angry! He pointed to the setting on the side, "I don't use those things very much!" Horses, should they let go of the big run, what kind of dance do you think, do you think it's really the same as people? ”

Shu Yu looked over, those settings were really old, and the wooden railings were covered with complete moss, and they had obviously not been touched for a long time.

He asked, "Are there any other types?" ”

"And the races, races, races of the old nomads!" Riding a horse and waving a horse to trap things! There are also horse fighting, horse riding and shooting...... But now very few people know this, alas, times are different......"

He looked a little regretful, Shu Yu thought about it leisurely, and was a little yearning.

Wen Jing sat on the side with her knees hugged, and suddenly asked, "Riding archery, is it shooting arrows on a horse?" ”

Xiuge nodded yes, and Wen Jing asked Shu Yu, "Do you think this shooting is like this compared to the Imperial Meeting?" ”

Shu Yu hesitated a little and said uncertainly: "I don't know, it's hard to say." The rules haven't come out yet, and no one knows what will happen. But that should be difficult, right? Not many people can do it now, right? ”

Xiuge patted his chest and said loudly, "I can!" ”

Although he is full of spirit in his speech and deeds, it can be seen from his gray beard and hair that he is really not young. As soon as he patted his chest, Shu Yu looked at him in surprise.

Xiuge looked at Shu Yu's surprised gaze and said angrily: "Don't you believe it! I'll show you! ”

Saying that, before Shu Yu could stop it, he stood up, pushed the door into a hut, and came out with a big bow on his back. There are no accessories such as sight shock absorbers on this bow, just like in ancient materials, a bow body and a bowstring, but it is very large, almost as tall as a quiet person.

Hug carried the big bow on his back, and carried a round target and a bag of feather arrows at the edge of the house, walked to a thick pillar nearby, and hung the target on it.

Shu Yu was a little worried that he would be injured, but he also knew that if an old man like this was stubborn, ten of them would not be able to stop him. He sighed and walked over to help him hang the target, and couldn't help but secretly plan in his heart that if he was in danger, even if he exposed his abilities, he would have to save him!

Shug glared at him, not appreciative, and walked over to an old horse with a bow on his back, and said, "Old fellow! Some of the lads thought we were old and looked down on us! Let's give them a good look together! His voice was very loud, obviously he intended to say it to Shu Yu. Shu Yu really smiled bitterly, and felt more and more that this old man was really cute.

The horse seemed to understand him, and raised its head and neighed twice.

Xiuge hung the quiver next to the saddle and landed on the horse neatly, just looking at the posture of the horse, he was more skilled than Shu Yu I don't know how many times. Shu Yu suddenly remembered, why didn't he see anyone else? Could it be that such a large horse farm is only managed by Xiuge alone?

He was just thinking about it when he heard Shug commanding loudly, "Carat! Come here, boy! Get these horses back first! ”

A large, honest man came out of a small room, trotted over and led the horse back.

The field was cleared, and Xiuge drove his horse to run slowly. The target was nearby, and he couldn't run deep into the grass with a horse like Shu Yu. He spun in circles from slow to fast, the speed of the horse became faster and faster, faster and faster, and in the end, it swept in front of Shu Yu like electricity!

Shu Yu was secretly frightened, and secretly calculated that when he was at full speed just now, it was estimated that he would not have this kind of speed! Is this horse better than your own? That's not necessarily, anyway, this is an obvious old horse, and his physical strength will inevitably decline with age. Why is it so much faster than your own? Is it possible to use technology to get to this point?

In the midst of the lightning running, Xiuge suddenly reached out and took the bow from his back, and with his other hand he picked up a feather arrow at the same time, easily pulled the large bow that was life-like, and after a slight pause, he gently released it. With a gentle "boom", the long feathered arrow turned into a flowing shadow and disappeared into the air in an instant.

In the next moment, after the sound of "grabbing", the feather arrow was inserted into the target squarely, hitting the red heart!
