Jian Yuezhu's eyes were full of concern, and her pretty fair face was about to burst into tears. Xue Poye stretched out his hand and took her little hand, his voice was soft, almost drunk but not drunk: "Good sister... I know you care about me... you
Yes...you are the girl who treats me best in this world...I will naturally not let you down...!"
Yuezhu's pretty face turned red immediately, she was so shy and wanted to retreat, but seeing that Xue Poye seemed very drunk, she could only say: "Brother Poye, you are drunk, I will get you a cup of ginger tea to relieve your hangover.
!”
Xue Poye smiled heartlessly and still held Yue Zhu's little hand without letting go: "Good sister, you...your brother Poye is not drunk...brother Poye pities you and loves you...!"
Yuezhu broke away her little hand, covered her red face, and ran out in a hurry.
On the side, Wu Lachi burst into laughter: "Good friend - really a man - if you like a woman, just say it - Southerners like to keep it in their stomach - hahahaha - isn't this your biological sister?"
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Best sworn sister!" Although the burning fire was very powerful, it went away quickly. Although he was a little dizzy just now, he has slowly woken up now.
Wu Lachi nodded and said: "Good girl——!"
Xue Poye set the dishes on the table, which were the special dishes of Lan Yuexuan, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, please try the signature dishes of my restaurant!"
Although the Hu people can't be said to eat raw meat and drink blood, they still eat beef and mutton barbecue on weekdays. This Jiangnan delicacy is extremely exquisite.
Wu Lachi took a few bites and gave a thumbs up, "It's delicious—it's delicious—!"
Xue Poye smiled and nodded, then continued the previous topic and asked: "Brother Wu, what did you mean by the integration of man and horse?"
Wu Lachi took a sip of wine and then said slowly: "Horses are like people. No matter how good a person's equestrian skills are, if he cannot communicate with the horse's mind, no matter how high his equestrian skills are and how precious the horse is, he still cannot reach the peak of equestrian skills.
!”
"Communicate with horses?"
Seeing that he seemed a little suspicious, Ulachi immediately said displeased: "My good friend doesn't believe it?"
Xue Poye was a little embarrassed and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, it's just that if you want to achieve spiritual communication with horses, will you have to spend a lot of energy?"
Wu Lachi was silent for a moment and said: "It's the same as people. Some people are together every day and can't like each other, but some people can get along with each other once they meet. As the southerners say, they feel like old friends at first sight. Some horses and their owners live together all day long.
They get along, but they are just familiar with each other, and they may not necessarily be able to communicate with each other. But some people and horses can hit it off right away, as if they are destined to be the best partners." Xue Poye took another sip, and was very surprised.
The fire was extremely spicy, and Wu Lachi's face remained calm when he drank it, just like drinking water. The amount of alcohol he drank was really terrifying.
Wu Lachi's Chu language was very jerky. Fortunately, Xue Poye's analytical ability was extremely good. Some words may not be spelled correctly, but Xue Poye could guess them.
"It's like a black colt. When it was a calf, I hit it off right away. We have been eating and drinking together all these years, and we are inseparable all day long. It is precisely in this way that I have a spiritual connection with it. Whatever actions I want to make, it will do whatever it takes.
You can sense it and cooperate with me to complete it!" Ulachi seemed to be very excited, patting his chest and said: "In our Barhut department, my equestrian skills are the best. Even in the prairie, I dare to say that my equestrian skills are unparalleled.
Comparable!"
Beihu people are not as modest and cautious as Chu people. Even if they have the ability, they would not dare to say it openly. They should be modest when others praise them. Beihu people are competitive in life and never admit defeat. Not only will they not be too coy when others praise them, but they will be very happy.
, and Hu people are not flattering. If they praise, it is naturally because the person being praised has something extraordinary.
Xue Poye looked at Wu Lachi's confident look and was convinced, and said sincerely: "I want to ask Brother Wu to teach me equestrian skills...!" Thinking that Wu Lachi's archery skills were also extraordinary, he continued: "...
…and archery!”
There was no excuse as expected, and Wu Lachi actually said happily: "Okay, I'll teach you. If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"
.
Wu Lachi, who was full of smiles, suddenly frowned. Xue Poye thought he had changed his mind, so he heard him slowly say: "It's just that I, Wu Longju, can't seem to communicate with you. Tomorrow you and I can go to the inn to choose one."
It’s such a beautiful horse, so close and intimate with it!”
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Brother Wu is so kind to me, and I can't thank you enough. Why don't you teach me some basic essentials of equestrianism first, and I'll understand it first. How about I wonder?"
Wu Lachi immediately stood up, took Xue Poye's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go now!" He was so strong that Xue Poye was dragged up from his seat.
"This big brother Wu is a nice guy, but a little reckless!" Xue Poye thought.
At that moment, Wu Lachi took Xue Poye out and explained the essentials of equestrianism in detail using the black horse as a prop.
"The breasts must be stable, put the force on the breasts, and lean forward as much as possible at the beginning. When the body is fully practiced, the upper body can move at will!" Wu Lachi spoke very seriously, and seemed to be very serious when teaching.
Extremely serious and unsmiling, Xue Poye was extremely moved when he saw him pouring all his money into teaching without hiding any personal secrets.
"The horse must be connected with the horse's back to be a real rider!" Wu Lachi demonstrated and guided: "Whether you are riding or charging, you must treat the horse as your friend or even your brother.
As long as you care about it, it will run for you!"
The teachings of Ulachi Chunchun are like a very responsible teacher. From his words, it is obvious that he cares deeply about horses.
Horses are the best friends of prairie people. Prairie people have grown up with horses since they were young. When children in the Central Plains are still shaking their heads and studying poems and books, children in the prairie are already riding horses on the grassland, bending bows and shooting arrows. It is difficult to be wild.
tame.
As they grew up, the Central Plains valued literature and the Northern Hu valued martial arts. Each one was civilized and the other martial arts widened the distance. The literary man was naturally well-informed and bound by all kinds of etiquette and rules, while the warrior was strong, rough and aggressive. In the end, one side was a docile sheep, and the other was a docile sheep.
On one side is a ferocious wild wolf.
After explaining the basic essentials, Wu Lachi even performed extremely difficult movements, which made Xue Poye feel terrified and admire him endlessly.
Wu Lachi even asked Xue Poye to get on the horse and try it out. The horse obviously didn't like Xue Poye. If Wu Lachi hadn't soothed him, he might have refused to ride on it.
Xue Poye followed Ulachi's method to control the black horse, but after all, it was unfamiliar and tight. If he made a slight movement, he would be in danger of falling off the horse. Although Ulachi was beside him to look after him, he still fell off.
His whole body ached, but Xue Poye knew in his heart that Ulachi had a profound knowledge of equestrianism and was a true master. If he were to learn equestrianism, equestrian masters like Ulachi would be hard to come by. If he had this opportunity today, even if he were to learn equestrianism again,
It's difficult, but you have to persevere.
Wu Lachi admired his perseverance, but the Beihu people have been able to get up again from falling down on horses since childhood, and have become excellent horse people after thousands of falls and setbacks. Xue Poye's small setback is simply enough.
can be ignored.
Under the moonlight, one was teaching and the other was learning. Occasionally, Xue Poye's screams and Wu Lachi's shouts could be heard...!
…
…
When the first ray of sunshine shone on the earth, Xue Poye returned to the restaurant exhausted and bruised and swollen.
Throughout the night, Xue Poye and Ulachi practiced equestrian skills in the open space next to Lan Yuexuan, teaching him various horsemanship skills. Although he was a beginner, Ulachi taught him as many horse riding essentials as possible, without expecting quick results.
At least it left a deep impression on Xue Poye.
After washing up, the two of them had breakfast and headed out to the inn.
Xue Poye promised Wu Lachi to exchange three horses for five hundred pieces of silk. This was a major event. Wu Lachi took Xue Poye to choose horses. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a carriage coming. Strangely,
An old man had already stepped out of the car tremblingly.
When Xue Poye was confused, the old man squinted his eyes and asked, "Is this where Xue Poye is?"
Xue Poye frowned, and with a thought, he suddenly realized that Lao Tan wanted to test himself as a scholar and found an old master. Now it seems that this is the legendary gentleman.
After taking a closer look, I found that this old gentleman was nearly sixty years old. He had a white beard, a green shirt and a long coat, and exuded the aloofness of a scholar.
"I am Xue Poye!" He saluted helplessly, Xue Poye was extremely depressed.
The old gentleman was very arrogant. He glanced sideways at Wu Lachi next to Xue Poye and said calmly: "Barbarian foreigners, barbaric land, stubborn and stubborn, how can you get entangled with these barbarians and be confused!"
Ulachi had a bad temper and couldn't stand such words. He didn't care about the old man's age. He grabbed the old man's collar and shouted: "Cunning Southerner, what did you say?"
Xue Poye thought that the old man would be scared to death when Wu Lachi drank like this. Who knew that although the gentleman's body was almost lifted up by Wu Lachi, he showed no fear, his face was extremely calm, and he sneered: "That barbarian Wu Lachi
, do you think you can scare me off like this? Wild people in the wilderness refuse to accept enlightenment, how can I, a great Chu scholar, be scared by a savage like you?"
Wu Lachi was a little surprised when he saw that the old man was not afraid, and said angrily: "If you were not an old man, I would tear you to pieces!"
The old man had a gloomy face and shouted: "Although I am old, my strength is still there, so what's the harm in letting a barbarian like you tear me apart? I drink blood like my hair, and I'm no different from an animal!" He didn't say anything anymore, and actually closed his eyes." -
