Chapter 154 Riding a Horse
It was still early, and Wang Zeren brought Xu Wenyan to the yard.
"Can you ride a horse?"
Looking at the black horse in front of him, Xu Wenyan walked forward and touched it. The horse was stunned for a moment, then closed its eyes and enjoyed it.
Wang Zeren walked forward with some surprise at this time: "Except for me, it's useless for anyone else to touch Mo Xuan. It has a bad temper." Wang Zeren touched the side of the black horse's face and smiled gently: "I didn't expect it to let you touch it. Does this mean that it agrees to our marriage?"
"Shh, talk less." Xu Wenyan also wondered if she had been a widow for too long in her previous life?
What is this situation when I travel through time?
But then again, I will definitely have to learn how to ride a horse when I go out in the future. Once I learn it, it will be easy to catch cows and donkeys, right?
"Can you teach me?" Xu Wenyan touched the saddle behind Mo Xuan again. The whip was always curled. It seemed that Wang Zeren loved his horse very much.
"What's the reward?"
Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes: "No."
"Okay, I'll teach you then."
Although it was different from what I expected, the result was good.
Wang Zeren pulled Mo Xuan out, and the two walked to a slightly empty road: "Don't be too impatient when approaching a horse, and move slowly because you are just touching it." Wang Zeren demonstrated as he spoke: "Then you can touch it first, let it get familiar with you and feel relaxed."
"Look, this is the reins. When you get on the horse, you have to pull the reins to the saddle to remind it that you are getting on the horse." Wang Zeren put his left leg on the stirrup, bent down and exerted force to complete the process of getting on the horse in one go.
"It will go in the direction you pull the reins on. If you pull both reins together, it will stop. Isn't it very obedient?"
Xu Wenyan could see that Wang Zeren really loved Mo Xuan: "Yeah, it looks quite simple."
"Of course, you're so smart, you'll definitely be able to learn it right away, why don't you give it a try?"
Xu Wenyan nodded.
"I'm right next to you, go ahead and don't worry."
Xu Wenyan imitated what Wang Zeren had done just now and approached Mo Xuan. At this time, you must be on the side of the horse so that its eyes can see you. Behind the horse's butt is its blind spot, and if it is frightened, it will kick with its hind legs.
So you must not go from the back.
This was the first time Xu Wenyan saw a pure black horse, and a war horse at that. It was said that Mo Xuan also had armor, which must have looked very handsome!
Xu Wenyan held the reins, and Mo Xuan was very obedient. From stepping on the stirrup to getting on the horse, everything was very natural.
The morning sun shone on the boy's face. The boy on horseback was smiling. He lifted his butt slightly and the horse started slowly.
Xu Wenyan raised his chin towards Wang Zeren: "What do you think? I'm pretty good, right?"
"awesome."
The reason why Xu Wenyan was so successful was mainly because of Wang Zeren's presence. The horse felt much more at ease. Xu Wenyan just rode Mo Xuan around the village.
"Brother Wang!" Luo Sanyuan ran over from the edge of the field: "Hey, Xu Wenyan, why are you on the horse?"
Having followed Wang Zeren for such a long time, Mo Xuan had never let himself touch him. Unexpectedly, he could let Xu Wenyan ride on him. Everyone was still puzzled.
Originally thinking that Mo Xuan had finally come to his senses, Luo Sanyuan reached out to touch him, but Mo Xuan raised his neck proudly and looked at him coldly.
"Come on, come on, I won't move you."
"Xu Wenyan, Xiaoman said you know where to find persimmons here. Let's go pick them now?"
Wang Zeren glanced at him and said coldly, "You've finished your work."
Luo Sanyuan touched his head and laughed, winking at Xu Wenyan from time to time.
"In the afternoon, I have to practice riding now." After all, this is a big deal. After the war is over, Xu Wenyan will have to buy a cow or a horse. How can he not know how to ride by then?
"Well, I'll wait for you." After saying that, Luo Sanyuan ran away. There was no guarantee what Wang Zeren would ask it to do.
Wang Zeren is really a good teacher.
After teaching for a whole morning, Xu Wenyan had almost learned it.
Whether getting on the horse, getting off the horse or walking with Mo Xuan, it's all fine. Wang Zeren even ran for a while with Xu Wenyan. It has to be said that this war horse runs very fast.
It turns out that running is exciting.
"Have lunch together?" After coming back, Wang Zeren tied up Mo Xuan and fed him some hay and half a sweet potato.
"Xiao Man is still waiting for me."
Wang Zeren grabbed Xu Wenyan's wrist and said, "Eat here."
Xu Wenyan was speechless. He had to eat here anyway, so why were he asking me?
Lunch was fried cabbage and bacon slices.
There is really nothing good to eat in this remote place.
"What did you eat in Dianzhou?" Xu Wenyan was not picky about food. He could swallow any food, no matter how unpalatable it was, as long as it was not poisonous.
He's a really bad cook.
"In the military camp, there wasn't much to eat. Most of the food was grilled by Luo Sanyuan. He liked to cook it. As for the restaurants we occasionally went to, we ordered what Luo Sanyuan liked.
Stir-fried guinea fowl, golden sparrow, eight-treasure rabbit cubes, five-spice pigeon, etc. ”
Ancient people were particular about the literary names of dishes: "Then there is nothing you like?"
"I loved the snacks my mother made. I was still young at that time and I only knew they were made from red beans."
Xu Wenyan nodded. No wonder this guy had so many oil papers in his house. It seemed that whenever someone came from the county, they would bring him snacks.
"When I have time next time, I'll make you some snacks as a way of repaying you for teaching me how to ride a horse today." Favors are hard to repay, and Xu Wenyan was afraid that the favor he had promised would be offset like this.
When you are away from home, interests come first.
"Really!" Wang Zeren's face was full of excitement.
Xu Wenyan said coldly: "It's fake."
"No, no, you've already agreed. A man's words should be kept. What do you need? Do it tonight?" Wang Zeren didn't even eat and kept asking Xu Wenyan what he wanted to do.
"Oh, don't worry about it, you'll find out later." Xu Wenyan finished the rice in his bowl in two mouthfuls: "I want to go pick persimmons with Xiaoman and the others, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay!... Forget it, just go." As the highest commander here, he cannot leave the base at will. If something happens, it will be very troublesome.
Xu Wenyan nodded and walked out. He had to stay one more night.
I have to leave early tomorrow morning, otherwise my family will be worried to death.
