Heartthrobs can't be unlucky all the time

Ning Yu and Zheng Xiuran got up early in the morning, and Zheng Xiuran finally woke up Ning Yu who was still in a daze. After the two of them washed up, they were ready to change their clothes.

Zheng Xiuran changed Ning Yu into an academy summer suit, and also asked him to put on a white square hat and white student clothes. Ning Yu looked indistinguishable from male and female, really good-looking.

He himself was wearing a school uniform of a similar style, but without a hat.

"Let's go."

Ning Yu took Zheng Xiuran's arm and led him out, it seemed that he was very satisfied with the dress.Although he doesn't mind wearing women's clothes, he may switch back to men's clothes, which is quite happy for him.

Zheng Xiuran took Ning Yu to the cafeteria of the academy to have breakfast first, and then began to take him to the back mountain. On the way, he also introduced to Ning Yu the riding and archery competition in a few days.

They and the Peiyou Academy in Feiyun City next door have always been the two most famous academies in the south of Dayu Country, but Zeying's reputation always overshadows Peiyou Academy, so every year they hold a competition about the six arts , the winning side will be awarded the title of First Academy by the imperial court.

In order to obtain this title, the two academies send the best students from each academies to compete every year. Last year, the competition was poetry and painting, but this year it was replaced by riding and shooting.

Zeying Academy has won the title of No. [-] Academy for more than three consecutive years. I heard that Peiyou Academy is very unconvinced. This year, it has recruited very good students, just to win this imperial archery competition.

Zheng Xiuran's riding and archery has always been the best among the students. He is strong and full of endurance. Every time he takes the riding and archery test, he gets full marks. Therefore, the dean sent him to participate this year.

However, this riding and archery competition, or imperial shooting competition, is divided into four rounds of competition, namely equestrian obstacle course, horse racing, long-distance shooting and mobile riding and shooting.

Show jumping is Zheng Xiuran's forte. When he was a child, his grandfather raised horses. He and his eldest brother rode around on horses from a very young age. The roads in the village and the mountains were the most obstacles. At that time, he learned how to control the horses.

The jumping competition is divided into two rounds, the individual competition and the team competition. After the selection by the academy, Zheng Xiuran was arranged for the single competition.

The horse race is also divided into two sessions, namely the team relay race and the single race.Because the key to horse racing is the quality of the horse, and a good horse is the key to horse racing.Of course, the person riding the horse is also important.

There will be a temporary point calculation after two rounds of competition.

Then there is the long-distance shooting competition, that is, long-distance archery. There will be several targets on the field, and each target is 50 meters away. Only when you hit the red heart can you score points. A total of five arrows are shot.

Mobile riding and shooting is even more difficult. There are two rounds in total. Each academy sends two people, and then shoots the mat thrown by the referee in the middle during the riding process, and finally counts the points for hitting the mat.

In addition to participating in the showjumping, Zheng Xiuran will also participate in the team competition of the show jumping, and the candidate for the individual horse racing is Fu Di who just moved next door to Zheng Xiuran's school building.

They did not participate in the long-distance shooting after that, but for the mobile riding and shooting, the two of them needed to participate in the final round.

Zheng Xiuran and Ning Yu walked while talking, and they had reached the horse farm before they knew it. When they were about to enter the stable, they saw many people surrounded in front of them.

They went forward and found that the crowd was surrounded by a bay red horse lying on the ground, and there was a figure in white student clothes squatting on the ground. Ning Yu felt that this figure was a bit familiar.

Zheng Xiuran asked the people outside in a low voice, and found out that the horse suddenly collapsed while running this morning. The veterinarian hadn't come yet, and the squatting student was saving the horse.

The man observed for a while, and when he turned to get the things in the stable, Ning Yu realized that this man was actually Fu Di.

He took a very large kettle and walked to the door of the stable. Everyone found a salt shaker in the corner. Fu Di grabbed a few handfuls of salt and shook them in the water, and then brought them to the lying horse. Opened its mouth and poured salt water into it.

Afterwards, the veterinarian finally arrived. After diagnosis, he found that the horse fell to the ground due to heatstroke and dehydration. Fortunately, Fu Di fed it salt water in time, otherwise the horse would be in danger.

People around couldn't help applauding, but Fu Di turned around and left after seeing the veterinarian take over, not paying attention to the applause at all.

Ning Yu looked at his leaving back and thought, "What a weird person."

After yesterday's arrow shot, Zheng Xiuran also had a little understanding of Fu Di's character, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Pulling out a tall black horse that he most often used for training, he said to Ning Yu;

"Ning Yu, I'll take you shopping."

He changed to a bigger saddle, carried Ning Yu onto the horse, and then rolled over himself.

Ning Yu sat on his chest, a little excited and a little scared, and kept leaning on the person behind him, until Zheng Xiuran put his arms around him and pulled the rein, Ning Yu's stiff body relaxed a little.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right behind you."

Zheng Xiuran shook the reins lightly, and the horse started to move, Ning Yu was so frightened that he hugged Zheng Xiuran's thick arms all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiuran took Ning Yu around the racecourse, and as he walked slowly, Ning Yu's heart gradually relaxed. He leaned on Zheng Xiuran's arms and observed the place.

The racecourse is very large. To be precise, the racecourse is not on the back mountain of the academy, but in a particularly large open space between the mountain and the academy.

There are many stepped wooden seats around the wide horse farm, which should be used for viewing.

Zheng Xiuran also told Ning Yu that during the game, all the audience would sit there and watch.

When the two passed by a disposal point, Ning Yu saw long bars and triangular bases placed around the racecourse. Zheng Xiuran explained to him that these are obstacle bars, and there will be a total of twelve groups placed in the entire racecourse during the race. , Participants in the competition need to jump through all twelve sets of obstacle bars on horseback and cross the finish line to score.

The number and height of the crossbars are also completely different, the highest is four feet eight inches, and not only these obstacles are placed alone, but also double obstacles and triple obstacles, that is, two or three crossbars are put together.

If the crossbar is knocked off when crossing an obstacle, points will be deducted, and these twelve obstacles need to be crossed within the time of a cup of tea, otherwise you will not be able to score.

Just when Zheng Xiuran saw the lowest crossbar on the road ahead, Zheng Xiuran saw that Ning Yu was still a little puzzled, so he suddenly leaned into Ning Yu's ear and said to Ning Yu;

"Ning Yu, you lie down a little bit forward, and I'll take you flying once."

Before Ning Yu could react, Zheng Xiuran was already pressed up by the weight of his whole body, and then he spread the whip and hit the horse. The horse was in pain and ran forward. When he was about to reach the crossbar, Zheng Xiuran lifted the rein vigorously, The horse's head was raised, and it took off subconsciously.

Ning Yu only felt a sense of weightlessness, and then fell quickly, his heart beating so fast.

Before he could react, the horse had already jumped over the lowest crossbar.

"How about it, Ning Yu, let's have fun."

"Are you alright, Ning Yu!"

Zheng Xiuran hugged Ning Yu who was trembling in his arms, and asked a little worriedly;

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so reckless, are you scared?"

Zheng Xiuran thought that the jump just now had frightened Ning Yu, so he quickly apologized.

At this time Ning Yu raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of smiles, he grinned and said to Zheng Xiuran;

"I'm not scared, it's fun, brother, let's do it again."

Seeing that Ning Yu didn't look frightened at all, Zheng Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK!"

So he played with Ning Yu twice again. Ning Yu kept reminiscing about the exciting feeling and was very happy. Afterwards, the two went back to the stable, and after feeding the horses some fodder, Zheng Xiuran planned to take Ning Yu to the shooting range .

The shooting range is next to the racecourse, and the stand they passed by just now can also see the shooting range.

The shooting range is also very wide, and there are grass targets with divided distances.

Zheng Xiuran went to the bow and arrow collection place next to him, borrowed a bow and a quiver full of arrows with his name tag, and gave them to Ning Yu.

Ning Yu stood where he was, staring at a student in white who was practicing next to him.

That person is Fu Di.

Fu Di's eyebrows and eyes are very sharp, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. Just one look can shock others. When he closes one eye and concentrates on aiming at the target, the aura of his whole body is even more fierce, like a bird out of the gate. The fierce tiger made the people around him have to focus on him.

At this time, he drew the black bow and pointed it at a target a hundred meters away. His eyebrows bulged slightly, and with a movement of his eyes, the arrow had already been shot.

"Om--" The bowstring of the black bow and arrow hummed, and that gust of arrow also hit the bull's-eye.

"It's amazing" Ning Yu blurted out involuntarily.

Zheng Xiuran, who came back with the arrow, also saw this scene, and he secretly admired that Fu Di really had two brushes.

"Ning Yu, can you shoot arrows?"

Ning Yu looked back at Fu Di and shook his head at Zheng Xiuran, he didn't even know how to hold a bow.

"I'll teach you..."

Seeing Ning Yu looking at him, Zheng Xiuran showed a smile, and began to teach Ning Yu how to shoot an arrow. He put one of his thumb rings on Ning Yu's hand, and then taught him to hold the bow with his left hand, draw the string with his thumb with his right hand, and use his index finger to hold the bow. Put the arrow shaft on the right side of the bow body, gently put the arrow shaft on the thumb of the archer, and pull the string back slowly with the right hand.

With a thought in Ning Yu's mind, this drawing of the bow is very similar to the last time the third child taught him to use the slingshot.

He held his breath, stared at the target ten meters away, squinted one eye, pulled the bowstring evenly, and then let go.

"Wow, Ning Yu, hit the heart!"

Zheng Xiuran excitedly raised Ning Yu's hand, very excited.

"You really don't know how to shoot arrows? You are so accurate in shooting arrows for the first time, Ning Yu, you are also very good."

Hearing the praise, Ning Yu said embarrassedly: "I'm just lucky."

But the next few arrows Ning Yu practiced, all of them hit the red heart, and the distance was getting farther each time. Zheng Xiuran kept exclaiming and admiring.

He really didn't expect Ning Yu to be so talented in archery.

When he was about to give Ning Yu some guidance, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards them out of the corner of his eye.

It was that Fu Di again.
