Personality V: I will save everything
Chapter 76 Riding a Horse
After hearing Natasha's description, Cogan felt that the name Miles sounded familiar.
"What's wrong? Cogan." Natasha asked curiously.
"It's nothing Natasha, I just thought Miles was a name. I seemed to have heard it before coming to the manor, but I don't know the details. I haven't seen him in person, and I heard what others said." replied.
She had indeed heard Miles' name, but only from other people's mouths.
Corgan only knew that Miles married a foreign lady, but Miles' family did not approve of their marriage. Later, the foreign lady disappeared, and Corgan did not know what happened next.
"To be fair, he is a very nice gentleman. I heard that he came back from East Asia and married a foreign woman despite his family's opposition. Later, the woman disappeared and he has been looking for her." Cogan told Things she knew about the man.
"If that's the case, Natasha, maybe because you also have black hair and black eyes, he mistakenly thought that you might be related to his missing wife." Valletta speculated.
"Maybe." That's what Natasha said, but Natasha had a vague feeling that this matter was definitely not over yet.
"Okay, Natasha, don't think so much. Do you still remember the strawberry cake you talked to me about last time? I also tried it. It tasted pretty good." Looking at Natasha, Val said Leta decided to skip the topic.
"You're right, and I recently heard that there will be a violin concert in the outside world soon. Do you want to go with me then?" Cogan also instantly understood Valletta's plan, and began to transfer Na Tasha's attention.
Gradually, the girls' topics gradually deviated from food and music.
the other side,
After Andrew was thrown off his horse for the nth time, he finally mastered the technique.
This time, he rode on Cream's back again.
Cream is still the same as before, wanting to throw him off.
But this time it is destined not to go as expected.
Just when Andrew was thrown off the horse's back, his feet landed on the ground.
"Hey!"
Andrew shouted loudly, exerted force on his upper body, pressed the horse's abdomen with his shoulders, and pinned the horse to the ground.
The horse held down by Andrew still wanted to struggle, but Andrew firmly grabbed the horse's reins, exerted force on his shoulders, and suppressed it with his feet on the ground.
This is a competition of strength, it depends on which of them can suppress the other.
"Host, aren't you going to stop it?" the system said as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Need not."
"..." Okay, the host doesn't think it's necessary, and the system thinks it shouldn't say anything more.
……ten minutes later……
One man and one horse were still deadlocked in place.
The originally white horse was covered in muddy grass and dirt.
Andrew wasn't much better either. His hands were tightly gripping the reins, and some places were even red and bleeding.
But one person and one horse refused to admit defeat and remained in a stalemate.
"Andrew won." The manor owner said silently.
"?" Before the system could issue a question, the horse had given up its struggle.
Seeing that the horse was no longer struggling, Andrew let go of him. As expected, as the owner of the manor said, once a horse is tamed, it will listen to the owner's words. The horse rubbed its head affectionately on Andrew's palm and followed him. His original unruly appearance was completely different.
"Well done, Andrew." I walked up and congratulated Andrew.
"Dad, I succeeded." Andrew hugged the manor owner excitedly.
However, what Andrew didn't know was that when he was in a stalemate with the horse, his body and face were covered with grass and dirt.
"Okay, okay, look at you like this. I feel like you are almost full from eating grass. Let me see your hands."
I took Andrew's hands and examined them carefully. Almost the entire palm was red and bleeding.
"Does it hurt?" I asked Andrew a little distressed.
"It doesn't hurt, Dad, I have grown up." Andrew smiled and told me. He has indeed grown up, and he no longer cares about these injuries.
Looking at Andrew's look, I suddenly realized...it seemed like...it was me who had never been able to "grow up"...
Think about it, the children will grow up sooner or later and leave the manor... Think about it... I'm really reluctant to let go...
Oh, okay, what was I thinking? !
Manor Owner: What’s going on with this empty nester’s sense of immediacy?
Forget it, anyway, I'll heal Andrew's hands first.
I gently touched the injured area of Andrew's hand with my fingers and injected divine power into it. Soon, the wound on Andrew's hand healed.
"Okay, Andrew, you sit on the horse first, and I'll teach you how to ride a horse correctly."
After hearing what I said, Andrew immediately got on the horse eagerly.
In fact, to be honest, there are many different riding postures.
When the horse walks slowly,
The rider needs to step on the stirrups with the front half of his feet and sit upright on the saddle. At the same time, he should hold the reins without being too nervous.
When the horse walks and gallops,
The rider needs to clamp the horse with his calf knees and inner thighs firmly, lean forward, ensure that both feet are on the pedals, the buttocks and the saddle seem to be touching but not touching, and follow the rhythm of the horse's running.
The above are relatively simple correct postures when riding a horse.
But Andrew felt like he was not good just when the horse was walking slowly.
It was obvious that he was so bold just now and dared to fight a horse.
But now sitting on the horse, I feel that his whole body is frozen.
"Relax, Andrew, don't be so nervous." I could only comfort him.
But obviously, my comfort had no effect at all, and Andrew was still as stiff as a statue on the horse.
...Half an hour has passed...
Andrew was still the same. He didn't dare to let the horse go alone.
It was only because I was holding the horse's reins in front and Andrew was sitting on the horse that he dared to let the horse go.
As soon as I let go, Andrew would hold the horse's neck tightly and not dare to move.
When did this kid become so cowardly?
There is no other way, I can only find a "professional teacher" for him.
I called Nabu over.
I believe that Naib, who is Nepalese, will definitely be able to teach Andrew how to ride a horse.
After all, Naib's hometown, Nepal, has a festival specifically for horses, called "Horse Festival."
Every year from the end of March to the beginning of April, all the wranglers in Nepal will select their strongest horse to participate in the competition.
At the same time, among the horse herders in Nepal, every adult man can choose a horse as a coming-of-age ceremony.
Because in Nepal, horses are almost the most common means of transportation there.
So if you say Naib can't ride a horse, you're simply kidding.
Therefore, when I approached Naib and asked him to help me teach Andrew how to ride a horse, he agreed without hesitation.
Naib was originally in his mother's room, accompanying her. When the owner of the manor came to the door, he thought something had happened.
Unexpectedly, he was simply asked to teach Andrew how to ride a horse.
Naib thought to himself that this was too simple for him. There were almost no people in Nepal who could not ride a horse.
Speaking of which, Naib realized that he had not touched horses for a long time after arriving at the manor, so he suggested to the owner of the manor if he and his mother could go to the racecourse to have a look.
Of course the manor owner agreed.
But when Naib came to the racecourse and saw Andrew's look, he realized that his thoughts were too simple.
Naib helplessly held his forehead and thought, how could he forget that he had been exposed to horses since he was a child? He must not be afraid, but he had forgotten that Andrew had stayed in the manor since he was a child. Before that, there had never been any horses in the manor. A horse, that is to say, Andrew has never ridden a horse, and he is not afraid of anyone.
Looking at it again, Andrew looked like he was hugging the horse's neck tightly and not daring to let go.
Nabu's disgust almost spilled out of the screen.
Naib: The future is dark...
But Naib's mother didn't think so. Since she came to the manor, she has received attention from different people every day, especially the younger children.
Although Naib is still a bachelor, Naib's mother feels the joy of having children and grandchildren in advance.
The children were always full of sunshine, laughing and playing around her, and she happily played with them, telling them stories and making snacks.
Looking at Andrew now, he was so scared that he almost shed tears on the horseback.
"Oh, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Andrew is fine, don't be afraid." Naib's mother walked to Andrew, put her hand on Andrew's stiff back, and comforted him softly.
At the same time, she turned back and gave Nabu a sharp look.
After receiving his mother's signal, Nabu immediately calmed down his expression.
Nabu realized that his mother's intention was already obvious.
"If you can't teach him, just wait."
Naib: Mom, you don’t love me anymore (T ^ T)
In short, under the request of the manor owner and the pressure from Naib's mother, Naib promised that he would teach Andrew well.
…Two and a half months later…
"Come on, come on Andrew!"
"There's only one last lap left, come on Andrew!"
"come on! Come on!"
……
Somehow, the only people who came to check on Andrew's horse at first were the owner of the manor, Naib and Naib's mother.
Gradually, more and more people were watching, so much so that the whole manor came to watch every training session performed by Andrew.
But I have to say it.
Naib is really a very good equestrian teacher, should it be said that he is a national talent?
Since in less than three months, Andrew has gone from being afraid to ride a horse alone to being able to let the horse run fast on the track.
Even now Andrew is beginning to enjoy the excitement brought by this speed.
In response, Naib said, Oh, he didn't mean that he had vomited his soul.
God knows he taught Andrew how to ride, and it cost him half his life.
At first, Naib thought that Andrew simply didn't dare to ride a horse, so he tried every means to make him bolder.
then……
It's just too big...
Naib would never forget that day. He watched in silence as Andrew's horse galloped around the racecourse as if it was flying. Andrew even tried his best to speed up the horse.
Nabu felt that every time the horse's hoof stepped on the ground, it would step on his heart.
At that time, Naib was anxious and shouted for Andrew to pull the reins to stop, while he wanted to ride another horse to chase Andrew.
But what Naib didn't know was...the horse was set by the owner of the manor, and it was impossible to ride on it unless it was tamed first.
Nabu was thrown off the horse as soon as he mounted it.
No one knows what Naib was thinking when he was lying on the grass motionless and thinking about life.
Fortunately, Andrew stopped safely in the end.
But from then on, Naib never dared to let Andrew be more courageous. He was so courageous that Naib's courage almost broke his heart.
Naibu: It almost killed me at that time, and my heart almost stopped due to fright?_?
Back to now...
Finally, Andrew completed the last lap.
Everyone gathered around to congratulate Andrew on what was indeed a good run.
Andrew is very confident and says he will definitely win the championship in the autumn race at Clayburgh Racecourse.
But at this time, Karl, who had been silent, raised a fatal question.
"When the time comes, will Brother Andrew use the horses from the Clayburgh Racecourse or the horses from the manor?"
This may seem like an ordinary question, but it is anything but ordinary.
You know, the horses in the manor are different from ordinary horses. When the manor owner made them, he adjusted their speed and strength to three times that of ordinary horses!
Riding a horse like this to compete is almost indistinguishable from cheating.
However, if Andrew is allowed to ride a horse at the Clayburgh Racecourse, Andrew is still a beginner who has just learned to ride a horse. Let him switch to a horse that he has never ridden before and is not well-adjusted for such a big competition. Ma, this is also unfair.
So as soon as Karl said this, everyone in the manor fell silent.
Finally, the manor owner came up with a solution.
"Let's toss a coin, and it's up to you to decide, Andrew." After saying that, the manor owner took out a coin from his pocket.
"Heads, you ride the horse in the manor, tails, you ride the horse in Clayburgh Racecourse." The owner of the manor handed the coin to Andrew.
Everyone's eyes turned to Andrew.
Well, originally Andrew wasn't nervous because he felt that it didn't matter what kind of horse he rode, but when everyone saw him like this, he started to get nervous.
Andrew placed the coin on his right thumb and prepared to toss the coin...
"Can you stop looking at me like this? I'm breaking out in a cold sweat." Andrew suggested in a low voice.
"Throw it quickly..." Everyone said through gritted teeth. They were already very nervous, but Andrew was still reluctant to toss the coin.
"..." Andrew didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Ding!"
There was a crisp sound, and the coin was thrown high into the air by Andrew.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the coin.
"Snapped!"
Andrew caught the coin with the back of his left hand and covered it with his right hand. Even he didn't know whether the coin was heads or tails.
(takes a deep breath)
Andrew slowly revealed the answer.
"It's XX noodles..."
