CHAPTER IX
After three days, the school will have a riding and archery class, and you can also cultivate a relationship with the jujube cake for a few days, so you will take the jujube cake to the school.
More than a dozen people stood in a row, each leading a horse, and the gentleman demonstrated how to get on the horse and how to control it. Getting on the horse also includes stationary mounting, running and jumping on the horse, as well as a variety of fancy mounting, such as holding the horse's neck and turning around the horse, and kicking the horse's butt to pull the reins on the horse. Driving includes acceleration, braking, steering, and a lot of pretending actions, such as how to pull your chick sideways on a speeding horse, how to pull up the horse's front hooves, and make a perfect debut. In addition to the above, there are also one-handed horse-riding, double-handed horse-driving, and riding archery is to release both hands on the horse, hold the bow in one hand, and pull the arrow in the other, which is the highest state. Of course, there are also advanced ones, such as shooting on the stomach, shooting while lying down, shooting with various tricks, of course, they just need to learn to shoot while sitting.
The gentleman looked at the horse, "Qi can, how can you bring the donkey over in the riding and archery class!"
"Sir, jujube cake is not a donkey, it is a horse, but it has not yet grown and looks short, but it can also run very fast. ”
"This is clearly a donkey, look at this face, it's ugly, and it doesn't look handsome at all!" said the gentleman as he fiddled with the mouth of the jujube cake. Who knew that the jujube cake Gaba bit half of Mr. into his mouth, and Mr. pulled out the hand with his other hand while shouting.
"Jujube cake, loosen up!"
When the jujube cake heard the words, he spit out the gentleman's hand, "Sir, you can't look down on the jujube cake, it has a strong self-esteem." ”
"Hmph!" the gentleman rubbed his hand and brushed his sleeve away.
There are three steps to get on the horse, one, with the left foot on the footrest. Second, pull the saddle and sit on it with your right foot at the same time. Third, fix your foot on the footrest while pulling the reins. The modern footrest has two protective straps on it, so it is not easy to fall off if you put your foot in it.
It seems simple, but it is not so easy to do as a novice, some people can't go up at all, some people go up with too much force and fall off the other side, and some people don't even dare to get on the horse after one or two falls. When everyone is worried and helpless because they can't get on the horse, they can do it on the horse a long time ago, not because he is talented, but because the jujube cake is too short, and he can go up with a pout of his buttocks, and he usually doesn't like to move, so he sits on it properly.
After almost an hour, those who could climb up, those who stepped on the stool went up in various ways, and the gentleman who couldn't go up also went up with his buttocks. It doesn't matter how well the student learns, the important thing is not to procrastinate the course, whether the learning will only show the student's book, and if he can't finish the class, he is incompetent.
"Let's learn how to ride a horse, pay attention to listen, people who can ride horses are at ease, but the action is not essential, people who are not standard are often easy to fall, making a fool is secondary, and it is possible to go out of the funeral!"
There was silence below.
"First of all, you have to keep your voice down and lower your center of gravity, otherwise the horse will suddenly run fast and will fall back, and if you are unlucky, the kick will hit you directly in the head, and you will die. Another effect is to reduce the resistance of the air, so that the horse can run faster. It's like this, see no!" Mr. said as he made movements on it, up and down, very funny, and the people below began to imitate it.
"Well, stop for a moment, and then just slap your legs near the horse's buttocks, and swing the reins so that the horse will run forward. It should be noted that we are all novices nowadays, and it is not advisable to use a horsewhip, because if the whip is drawn, the horse will run too fast, so that you will fall back, and the horse's hooves will kick you in the head, and you will die. ”
"Then pulling the reins back is slowing down, pulling to the left is making a left turn, and pulling to the right is a right turn. ”
Mr. demonstrated again, and the horse really ran forward, although not very quickly, after running for a while, Mr. pulled the reins and the horse jumped, turned around and ran back, the action was done in one go, it looked professional and cool.
The students also couldn't wait to start riding the horses, and according to what the husband taught, the horses really ran! One horse was running so fast that you could recognize it as the black horse of "Lao Zhang Ma Xing" at a glance, and the students on it were completely lying on the horse's back, completely forgetting how to slow down and turn. The horse's body slid back onto the horse's belly, holding the reins with both hands and hanging on to the horse's belly with the foot rests hooked. At last the gentleman ran over and put him down, and was so frightened that he lost half of his soul, and he was trembling all the time, and he almost foamed at the mouth.
Seeing him like this, those who had not yet started riding their horses pushed and shoved and began to give way to others.
"You come first!"
"It's okay, it's okay, you go first!"
"Brother Ren is polite, it's better for you to go first!"
After a while, Xingle rode out on his horse, and when he was not far ahead, he turned a corner and ran back, his movements were very smooth, and the gentleman nodded with satisfaction as he stroked his beard.
"Jujube Cake, look at us!" You can lower your body, grasp the reins, and slap Jujube Cake's buttocks with both legs, but Jujube Cake only takes a few steps forward.
The eyes of the people around him were all focused on Kehe Jujube Cake, and they could look around, "Jujube Cake, run, so many people are watching!" So his legs slapped Jujube Cake's buttocks, making a snapping sound.
The jujube cake has no intention of running, and it is still moving forward step by step, but the speed of walking has become a little faster.
There was an uproar around, pointing fingers and talking.
"You also said that this is not a donkey, how can there be such a stupid horse!" Mr. pointed to the jujube cake and scolded, he could glance at the sneering students around him, and then looked at the many people on the side who were asking for advice on how to ride a horse, and felt that his face was all lost, and he wished that he could get into a crack in the ground. The jujube cake glanced at it, lowered its head and began to eat the grass on the ground, and the laughter of the people around him became louder.
As soon as she got home, her grandmother saw that she could be unhappy, and wrote it all on her face. Ah Huang ran out to greet him, and immediately went over and hugged his legs, wagging his tail vigorously, but he didn't have the heart to drag Ah Huang forward with his steps.
"What's wrong, okay? Who bullied you?"
"Jujube cake! Jujube cake can't run at all, he's not a horse, he's a donkey!"
"You know how to eat, you can't do anything, it's the stupidest donkey I've ever seen, I don't want you anymore!" He kicked the butt of the jujube cake and walked into the house. Grandma led the jujube cake to the backyard, Ah Huang sat on the ground, looking puzzled, and finally followed him into the house.
You can eat dinner sullenly, and after dinner, Xingle comes to him, "Yes, if you can't do it, you can ride my horse!"
"No need......" It can be seen that this is more like an insult to him, "Jujube cake is a stupid donkey!"
"How can there be a jujube red donkey, maybe it's still young, and he hasn't learned to run yet. ”
"But I've never seen a horse sleeping on the ground!"
"Donkeys don't sleep on the ground!"
In the midst of their argument, Grandma Qi ran over, "Yes, yes, it's too bad, the jujube cake is gone!"
You can run to the backyard with Xingle, only to see the rope that ties the jujube cake, but you don't see the jujube cake, it is empty. Suddenly, his heart became empty, remembering the eyes he looked at when he bought jujube cakes, for three days he led jujube cakes everywhere to eat grass, bathe him, lie on him and sleep, he liked jujube cakes so much. Thinking of what he had just said to him, the guilt and remorse in his heart arose, and he ran and shouted to find jujube cakes everywhere.
"Jujube cake, come back quickly, come back quickly. ”
"Jujube cake, jujube cake!" Grandma and Xingle also helped to find it, and Ah Huang also followed.
I've been looking for a long time, but my eyes are wet, and I feel that I am really going to lose the jujube cake this time, and I feel very uncomfortable, and I walk on the road alone. At this time, the moonlight was not cold, it melted into the warm eye sockets, and it was cut into crystal mottles, blurring the road in front of him, and he prayed that if God gave him another chance, he would treat the jujube cake well. Behind him was the call of Xingle and Grandma, as well as the cry of Ah Huang.
You can walk and walk, and suddenly something hits your little brother, soft, and the little brother is bounced back all of a sudden, but you can't see anything in front of you. He immediately wiped away his tears and saw a dark figure in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was jujube cake! Standing quietly in front of him, the moonlight projecting his face and a pinch of jujube red hair on his head.
"I finally found you, I was wrong about jujube cake, I shouldn't have said I didn't want you, don't run away from home in the future!"
Suddenly, the bead that was originally hanging around the neck jumped out and shook through the moonlight in front of the jujube cake. At this time, Ke Ke had already let go of the jujube cake and wanted to pull him back, but the jujube cake's expression became completely different, and his eyes were staring directly at the beads on Ke's chest.
"Where did the reins go?" can be felt around the neck of the jujube cake.
With a "plop", the jujube cake suddenly knelt in front of Ke and lowered his head. I could be startled by the scene in front of me, and I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to react.
"Jujube cake, what are you doing? Are you hurting your leg? Stand up!"
Who knew that it could be said that the jujube cake immediately stood up, and looked at it with both eyes.
"It's okay, I shouldn't call you a stupid donkey, just like I would be unhappy when people say I'm stupid. It doesn't matter if you can't run, we can learn slowly, you must be a very smart horse, even if you are not smart, you must be a very hard working horse!"
The jujube cake was motionless.
"You got the reins there, since you can't find it, then you can follow me back!" After speaking, you can go to the front, and the jujube cake follows quietly.
"Grandma, Xingle, I've found the jujube cake!" you can see two figures in front of you shouting and walking over.
"It's good to find it, it's good to find it!" said Grandma Qi.
Seeing that he could walk in front, there was no rope to lead the jujube cake, so he kept following behind, Xingle felt very strange, but what was even more strange was that "it turned out that the jujube cake really didn't make ......any sound when he walked."
