Chapter 26: The Bow and the Horse
The news was quickly passed to the racecourse, and a trace of crimson flashed across Xie Yidan's pale face, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. Mi Gai laughed even more proudly and looked at Shu Yu defiantly. As soon as Chi Chuanle saw his gaze, he wanted to rush up and hit him, but was stopped by Shu Yu.
Meng understood that he didn't say anything, he still smiled with a good time, and looked at Shu Yu, who was extremely calm, and his eyes lit up.
When Xiuge heard the news, he was also a little excited. He quickly straightened his face, glanced at Shu Yu worriedly, turned around, and said loudly, "Then start choosing a horse!" Boys, change the target! β
He didn't pull all the horses out, but let everyone go into the stables to choose.
Xie Yidan was the first to go in and skillfully inspected them one by one. At first glance, you can tell that he is extremely familiar with horses and is definitely a veteran. He looked at the teeth first, then at the shoes, and finally touched the muscles, without showing any extra expression, and looked directly at the next horse.
Shu Yu didn't pick it, he stood aside and watched everyone's actions. Shuge looked at him, looked away, looked at him again, looked away again. After a while, he asked with some uneasiness, "Don't you choose?" β
Shu Yu said lightly: "I have already chosen!" β
Xiuge looked at him suspiciously, and Shu Yu pointed to the end of the stable, where there stood a big brown and yellow horse, the same one he had ridden the last time he came!
Looking at the horse, Xiuge's face was even more ashamed, he coughed lightly, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I should have directly objected...... It's just that as soon as I hear the word "riding and shooting", I get excited......"
Shu Yu shook his voice and lowered his voice: "It's okay, Uncle Xiuge, I didn't have any advantage in this area, but now I can get on the horse and shoot arrows, thanks to your guidance last time!" β
Xiuge touched his head and didn't speak.
After a while, everyone chose their horses one after another, and Chi Chuanle chose a pure white one very coquettishly, and there was not a single miscellaneous hair on his body; Migay chose a jet-black one, with only four hooves and a snow-white color; Meng understood that he was leading a light brown horse, and his eyes were extremely meek.
And Xie Yidan picked them one by one, and actually chose the brown and yellow horse that Shu Yu had chosen!
Shu Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, and before he could speak, Xiuge had already spoken out against it: "After choosing a horse, you have to come to me to report, Shu Yu has already reported, come first and come first, you can't choose that horse!" β
Xie Yidan looked at Shu Yu condescendingly and said, "Shu Yu is very happy to change another horse, isn't it?" β
"You!" Chi Chuanle immediately wanted to rush over, Shu Yu patted him on the shoulder, raised his head, and his voice was not loud, but very resolute: "No, I have already chosen!" β
Xie Yidan touched a nail in front of him, and his brows immediately tightened. Before, Chi Chuanle almost clashed with others for him many times, but he was always pressed down, Xie Yidan thought that this person had a flexible mind but a weak personality. I didn't expect to dare to confront him face to face this time!
He glared at Shu Yu fiercely, but he didn't say anything more, he pointed to the side with his hand, and chose the red one next to the brown horse, and he didn't know if it was carefully chosen, or if it was arbitrarily pointed out of anger.
After the horses were picked, they were put on the saddle, and after Shuge handed them the saddle, he looked carefully at the side, and gave instructions from time to time. These horses are his precious hearts, but he is reluctant to let them mess around and spoil them.
But to his surprise, the four people except Shu Yu were all very skilled, and although Shu Yu's gestures were rusty, there was nothing wrong with them. After finishing it, several people glanced at each other, and unconsciously, the smell of gunpowder became strong again.
While they were tossing their horses, the Freckled Boy brought five bows with the tall and silly Carat from the previous time. All of them are composite bows for competitions, and they are equipped with sights, shock absorbers, and handguards, so they look delicate and complex.
Xie Yidan glanced at them and said lightly: "No need, I have my own bow!" β
As he spoke, he took out a folding bow from his back bow and expertly installed it. The bow was dark and shiny, and extremely fine. The light is not because it's new, it's because it's old! At first glance, you can tell that it has been used countless times, exuding an elegant, restrained yet dangerous feeling.
Shu Yu glanced at him lightly, from the beginning when he proposed riding and shooting, Shu Yu could guess that he must be very familiar with this activity. I guess I also want to take this opportunity to get back the face of losing points at the bottom of the previous number of points......
However, he didn't choose those bows, walked up to Xiuge, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Xiuge, I don't have ready-made ones, can you lend me your bow?" β
Xiuge glanced at him with some surprise: "That bow doesn't have additional equipment, so it's definitely not as convenient as these!" β
Shu Yu said lightly: "It's okay, I've never touched these bows, and I won't use the things on them." It's not as good as yours, at least it's in your hands, and it has some feel! β
Shuge looked at him deeply, nodded, and walked to the next hut, took out the longbow, which was bare, with only a few carved patterns, and threw it into his bosom.
Xie Yidan laughed when he saw this, he checked the one in his hand and sneered: "With that, don't let the bowstring pop out and collapse into your face!" β
Shu Yu looked at him in confusion and asked, "You collapsed your face?" It must have hurt! β
Xie Yidan's face turned pale, closed his mouth, and turned his head. Chi Chuanle laughed out loud. Shu Yu, this kid, never suffers in his mouth!
********************************
The so-called full broadcast is to transfer it to everyone along with their selection of horses, saddles, bows, etc.
The students didn't hear the whispered conversation between Xiuge and Shu Yu, but they clearly heard Xiuge rejecting Xie Yidan's choice, saying that it had been given to Shu Yu, and there were violent boos in the stands. Some people scolded: "Is this old man blind or dizzy? Reject a high-level evolutionary and help a weak chicken? β
"Does anyone who is paralyzed know where this horse farm is? We're going to beat him up and smash all the remaining teeth out of him!" β
Insults, threats, and ridicule were all in the stands, and Wen Jing's face turned pale and she looked at the picture nervously.
When Shu Yu chose a bare longbow, the ridicule became louder, and Yang Jingyi couldn't help but whisper to Wen Jing: "How did Shu Yu choose?" Does he think he is a hero of ancient times? Any bow can pierce Yang in a hundred steps? β
Wen Jing couldn't help but whisper: "He should have his intentions......"
Yang Jingyi sighed and said, "Alas, forget it, he doesn't have much chance of winning this game anyway...... Take this bow, and then it can be said that it is a matter of bows......"
That's what almost everyone thinks. They all felt that the reason why Shu Yu chose this difficult bow was to put the responsibility for failure on the bow at that time.
If it were me, I would do the same, at least not so shamefully!
At this time, Shu Yu held the bow, touched the horse's back, and squinted his eyes slightly.
****************************************
"Let's take a look at this horse farm, it's a great place!"
Leibley said enthusiastically with open hands, as if embracing nature.
"The grass here is fat and strong, and the air is freshβ" he took a deep breath, "There is a strong smell of grass in the air, and people can't help but want to fall down and roll two more!" β
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, and the intelligent hovering camera followed him all the time, relaying his every move to the school venue.
"Oops!" Leibley suddenly exclaimed in a small exclamation, he looked down at his feet, his facial features wrinkled like buns, "This is so fresh, I stepped on a ball of horse manure, and it was steaming!" β
The students laughed and sat down to calm down for a while.
Leibley shook his foot and said, "First of all, let us thank the kind people who lent us this horse farm for use!" I can't name him here, but let's thank him together! β
After a few opening remarks, the camera pans to the contestants, who are already on their horses and striding on the grass.
Xie Yidan sat on the back of the horse with confidence, his expression was stable, his every move was very orderly, and he knew at a glance that he had been immersed in this aspect for a long time.
The others are not as down-to-earth as him, and they occasionally jump off the horse and adjust their saddle pedals, obviously except for Xie Yidan, they are all taking care of it by hand for the first time, and they are not very skilled.
Shu Yu bent over, the whole person almost lay on the horse's back, he leaned next to the horse's ear and whispered something, and took out a piece of candy and fed it to its mouth. The sugar was provided by Shug, who was forbidden to feed the horses anything else to avoid any accidents.
The other four were all dressed in crisp hunting suits, their riding boots shiny above their knees, and their hats pressed low to cover their brows. Only Shu Yu, like the last time he came, was wearing a casual suit and a pair of sneakers on his feet, which was simply out of place among the contestants.
Chi Chuanle looked at him and said with some regret: "I knew that I had to prepare my own uniforms for the competition, so I should have gotten you a set." β
Shu Yu looked up at him and asked, "Where did you come from?" Brought from home? β
Chi Chuanle shrugged: "Where can I be, how can I have this treatment before!" Even now, the news hasn't reached the house, right? β
He narrowed his eyes, apparently thinking of something, revealing some unpleasantness.
This look flashed in a flash, and he easily trotted the horse two steps, and said mockingly: "This body was made by the school, I thought everyone had it, dare to be affectionate or snobbish!" β
Now in the live broadcast, the conversation may be transmitted directly back to the school at any time, but Shu Yu didn't discuss this with him and asked, "How are your riding skills?" β
Chi Chuanle controlled the horse, let it jump two steps, showed a string of dance steps, and said, "I practiced it when I was a child." At that time, my family hadn't given up hope for me......"
The look on his face flashed again, and he turned his face and asked Shu Yu, "You practiced once two days ago, right?" Xie Yidan was in a hurry, if you can't do it, give up, first pay attention not to get hurt! One accidentally fell off his horse, but it was dangerous! β
Shu Yu was moved, nodded, and said, "I won't force myself." β
His palm was pressed against the horse's back, and the faint pulsation passed through the palm of his hand, making him feel extremely kind. He suddenly had a feeling that this horse would not let him fall!
As he thought this, the brown horse seemed to have a heart-to-heart with him, and turned his head and rubbed his leg in a gesture of affection.
Shu Yu's heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face. He trotted up to Shug and asked in a loud voice, "Uncle, what is the name of this horse?" β
Xiuge glanced at him, smiled, and replied equally loudly: "It's called Yellow Wind!" β
