Chapter 113 Riding a Horse
Zhou Guo couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't wait any longer when she saw those horses. If there hadn't been an adult around, she would have gotten on by herself.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my wound is almost healed. It doesn't hurt anymore. It wasn't deep to begin with. I can just sit on it and ride slowly. It won't run, let alone bump. How can it make the wound worse? Master, go ahead. If you don't teach me, I will sneak up on my own. If the horse gets mad, it will run. I'm afraid the wound will really get worse."
The old man glared, his chest heaving with anger, because he knew that the kid could really do it, so he had to agree, "Okay, okay, you sit on it, and I will lead the horse. But you have to listen to me and can't sit for too long. One ride will be enough. If you don't get off, I will carry you down. Don't say that I didn't give you face in front of so many people."
Zhou Guo nodded happily, "Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."
The old man still picked the docile horse he had chosen before, patted the horse's neck, smoothed its fur, whispered in its ear for a while, turned around and waved his hand to signal Zhou Guo to get on, "Come on, get on."
Zhou Guo looked at him in amazement as he whispered something seriously into the horse's ear. He was so amazed that he couldn't help but ask, "Master, you... can even talk to it? Do you understand horse language?"
This scene reminded her of a TV series she watched when she was a child. For many years, she was worried about what the protagonist said in the horse's ear to make it so obedient. Now she discovered that her master might really have this skill?
But the old man said, "What are you talking about? If you don't know, you might think you are scolding me. I am not a horse and I don't understand horse language. I just said something nonsense to tell it to slow down. It doesn't matter if it can understand or not. I just want good luck."
Zhou Guo was a little disappointed, but also felt that it was reasonable. Yes, who in the world has this ability? Isn’t this world too fantasy?
She walked forward excitedly, and under the old man's instructions, she stepped on the stone, grabbed the saddle, put her feet in the stirrups, and jumped up in one smooth move.
"Good!" Even the old man couldn't help but cheer. "Hold the reins tightly, look forward, keep your back straight, relax your body, and place your legs lightly against the horse's belly. Don't use force. That's right. How about it? Not difficult, right? It's very simple. There's no trick. You will get it after riding it a few times. In ten days or half a month, you will be able to ride it by yourself."
Zhou Guo rode high on the horse and looked into the distance, fields, woods, mountains...
The breeze blew gently on her face, and the horse she was sitting on shook its legs restlessly. She held the reins in her hands, and for a moment she suddenly felt a sense of heroism. With a horse, there was no place in the world that she could not go.
"Sit tight, we're leaving." The old man's voice brought her back to reality.
She was still a little nervous when the horse started moving, but after walking around the camp about half a circle, the nervousness was gone. She looked at the wide roadside and felt eager to try and run.
The old man didn't even look at her, and said, "Don't even think about running. You can't run yet. Even if you don't want to think about the injuries on your body, you should think about me, your master. I'm old, my body is not as strong as before, and my reaction is not as fast. If I get stepped on by a horse, I'll be finished."
"Got it." She said, sitting quietly and feeling the different scenery on horseback.
This scene made the children in the camp envious. Their eyes turned red and they pointed at the majestic Zhou Guo and clamored to ride a horse, "Mom, mom, I want to ride a horse too, I want to ride a horse too..."
The adults disagreed. "Why ride a horse? A kid can't ride a horse. Are horses that easy to ride? Don't let you fall off and we have to call the doctor. It's costing our family a lot of money these days."
"Then how can Zhou Guo ride? I don't care. I want to ride a horse. I am older and taller than her. I want to ride a horse."
The camp was in chaos.
Zhou Dacang was very envious of his niece on horseback, but unfortunately his doctor told him not to move too violently.
The other children in the Zhou family looked at Zhou Guo riding leisurely, their eyes sparkling with envy. Zhou Su jumped up and said, "Mom, I want to ride too. I'll get on after my sister gets off, okay? Let Master take me for a ride, too."
Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "You are still young, you are not even as tall as a horse's legs. When you grow up to be as big as your sister, you will be able to ride a horse."
Zhou Su was not stupid. He calculated that it would take many years. He was frustrated and said, "That will take a long time!" Then he thought of a good idea and said happily, "Then, when my sister learns how to ride, I will let her take me on the horse. Then I can sit on the horse too."
The other children turned their eyes to Zhou Dacang, "Uncle, when are you going to learn?"
Zhou Dacang spread his hands and said, "Just wait, I still want to learn. When I can ride a horse, then I can have something to do with you."
Having said that, everyone is still very happy. My uncle has always been a quick learner, and their horse riding schedule is not far away!
Zhou Guo rode the horse slowly for a circle, and when he returned to his starting point, he didn't hesitate and jumped off the horse swiftly. There was no point in staying any longer anyway.
The old man was very satisfied, much better than when he was young.
All the children of the Zhou family gathered around.
"Sister, is riding a horse fun? Is it hard to learn? Can you take me for a ride next time?"
"Guoguo, Guoguo, what does it feel like to ride on a horse? Don't you feel so majestic and awesome?"
……
Everyone asked a lot of questions at once, and it was obvious that everyone was very interested in horse riding.
Zhou Guo said: "Don't worry, don't worry. When I learn how to ride, I will take you all to ride. I guarantee that everyone can learn it. I will never sell this horse if they can't learn it. All the children in the village can learn it. We have so many horses. It will be a waste if they don't learn it." Such a good resource.
The nearby children, who had been listening closely, were extremely excited when they heard that there was a chance for them to take part. They crowded around and asked in a loud voice, "Really? Really? Zhou Guo, can we all learn from him? Are you willing to teach us?"
"Yes, our mother wouldn't let us ride it, saying that the horse was too tall and we would have to be careful not to fall off it accidentally and get hurt."
Zhou Guo patiently made assurances one by one, and the children shouted with joy, almost overturning the camp with their shouts.
Before they had had fun for a while, they were called back home one by one by their family members.
If we want to stay here for two days, we have to go up the mountain to collect some firewood and dig some wild vegetables. We can't just eat food. The children are the main force and can't sit idle at home.
