Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 4: One rein, hundreds of riders bow their heads, characteristic of 'waist and horse unity', pursuit of 'martial arts'!
One day later, early morning.

It was daybreak and dewdrops were hanging from the mulberry trees at the Lin residence.

Yao Shi yawned, suppressed a shiver, cleaned up yesterday's horse manure, and prepared to send it to the vegetable farmers and tenants on their farmland, with a bitter look on his face.

In the past, the groom, Old Man Yao, would order other servants to do these tasks.

He was unlucky yesterday. He just happened to hand over a cigarette in a flattering way, but ended up bumping into the muzzle of a gun.

Thinking about it now, I feel so sad that I have no tears.

"But fortunately, the old man said that this guy, Ji Xiu, is just a little bit of the second young lady's influence. He looks about the same age as me, and probably knows nothing about 'horse riding'."

"As long as he can hold on for a day or two, he will definitely not be able to bear the work in the stable. Then the old man will have a way to punish him."

Feeding horses, raising horses, and walking horses is not as simple as just talking about it.

After keeping him company for the whole night, today he only needs his method. If there are any flaws, his master will jump out to find fault and finally report it to the master of the inner courtyard.

Even if she is the second young lady, she is not good enough in front of the real owner of the Lin family, Mr. Lin.

Besides, a servant who knows nothing about horsemanship is not worth a second glance!

With this in mind, Yao Shi reluctantly went to deal with the horse manure. As a result, when he arrived at the "East Stable" covered with thatched tiles, he found
There should have been more than twenty horses tied up in front of the manger, quietly lying there, but not a single one was to be seen!

pat!

The dirty wooden barrel in his hand fell to the ground immediately, and he was so frightened that he almost died.

"Where did that man take the horse?"

The words had just fallen.

Da da da.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling in an orderly and orderly manner came slowly from the horse-racing track specially marked out on the side.

Yao Shi's face was stiff, and he forced himself to look back.
Just found out.
These strong and handsome horses carefully selected by Mr. Lin were as docile as sheep in front of the young man who was only wearing a thin brown coat in the freezing cold that day!

In that small gravel yard, it was spinning around and around, without any noise or disturbance!
Even though he just casually held a rein.

But in Yao Shi's eyes,
At this moment, it was as if the shepherd held the scepter in his hand.

It was like holding all the reins on the horses' necks tightly in his hands!
There were dozens of horses, but not a single one ran around.
Like an arm commanding!

"Is this really a ghost?"

Yao Shi rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still sleepy, but when he opened his eyes, he found that Ji Xiu in the distance actually nodded and greeted him in a friendly manner when he looked at him.

"Master, Master, please come out quickly!"

This move immediately frightened him and he ran back. After a while, Old Man Yao, with a messy goatee and cursing, was pushed and shoved out by him:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you grandson? You want horses to be as docile as sheep, and you can drive them in an orderly manner with just a crutch, without any of them running away?"

"I have been training horses for more than 40 years, and even now, I still lead them one by one and walk them in circles."

"Even so, the horses still rebel from time to time."

"If there is someone who can tame dozens or even hundreds of horses at once, I will kneel down on the spot and offer him tea, begging him to teach me the true meaning of horsemanship. You are kidding, aren't you? Did I, your master, give you too little push yesterday?"

Old man Yao was not wearing the thin coat he wore yesterday. He staggered due to the cold, his nose was running and tears were streaming down his face. His calves were trembling. It was obvious that he had rheumatoid arthritis.

As soon as I walked out of the wooden house next to the stable, I saw Ji Xiu whipping his horse whip and calling all the horses in the east stable to return to the trough obediently.

The one leading the group with a heroic and proud look on their faces was none other than Qianlixue, daughter of the second young lady Lin Ruyue!

"no,"

"It's so cold, is the old man hallucinating from the cold?"

Old man Yao was also confused.

Subsequently,

Then he saw Ji Xiu taking out hay, refined rice and flour from the feed frame, tinkering with them, and pouring them into each trough in an orderly manner, not too much or too little.

The twenty or so horses were so happy after eating the food that they looked not only more energetic but also stronger than yesterday!

[Lead the horse and untie the reins, release its nature, walk the horse for a quarter of an hour, and the horse training is complete! ]

[Equestrianism: 51/1000! ]

[Feed hay, rice, flour, and eggs to make your horse snort with pleasure! ]

[Equestrianism: 52/1000! ]

Watching my horsemanship improve bit by bit, and after the advance payment, I can actually make solid progress in the process of "paying off the debt", this feeling.
Ji Xiu, who got up early at five o'clock in the morning, was in high spirits.

Even if the belly is flat and the clothes are thin.

But this feeling of seeing hope made him feel extremely at ease!

"you you"

Watching myself return to the stable.

Old man Yao was trembling so much that he couldn't finish his words.

"Don't worry, old man. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"However, there is no need to kneel down and serve tea."

Ji Xiu smiled, but his words made Old Man Yao blush and he couldn't say a word.

this moment,
There was only one thought left in his mind, and that was——

"How come this boy has such proficient horsemanship skills?!"

"Old man, every time you feed the horse, you mix too much hay and beans into the food. The horse will get bloated if it eats too much. You are old too, and you can't just walk the horse once a day for a long time."

"I'll help you walk a few more times. Next time, remember to put more refined rice and flour, and less beans."

Ji Xiu was wearing brown clothes and was still thin, but his face had a slightly more rosy complexion.

An old goat man, wearing a thin black jacket and rubbing his hands and laughing, followed beside him.

"Oh, the old man is too old to run in circles. Isn't Brother Ji here? With someone as diligent as you who gets up at five o'clock every day, these horses will eat the same food."

After these few days, Old Man Yao has completely let it go.

In terms of horsemanship, he was not as good as Ji Xiu. In terms of health, he would die in a few years.

In terms of the above, no matter what, he was just a servant and could hardly see his master a few times a year.

But this kid might be protected by the second lady!

If it were twenty years earlier.

In order to preserve his position, Old Man Yao had to do everything he could to suppress this kid to prevent him from threatening his position.

but now
I have one foot almost in the ground, and I have already saved enough money for my coffin. What's left is just a few less benefits, so I've just let it go.

Besides, with this kid around, I have been having a really relaxing time these days!
Getting up at five in the morning and working until curfew at night, he is really like a horse or an ox, with a body like an ox or a horse!
This is what we do even when Master Lin is not here.

If it's here
Wouldn't my old bones be reduced to dust?
Old Man Yao sighed with emotion, and at the same time stole a few glances at Ji Xiu, and couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at this thin body, it seems like it will fall apart if the wind blows.

He was really afraid that this kid would be dead tomorrow.

If that's the case, how can I be so relaxed?

Yao Shi and several apprentices were afraid that after teaching them the real things, they would have no one to take care of them in their old age.

Anyway, he didn't expect this kid to support him in his old age, and he didn't need his equestrian skills to make a living.

So he looked around and saw that Yao Shi and several other apprentices were not there. Old Man Yao sneakily stuffed a few eggs over to him:
"Boy, since you have been working so hard these days, I will teach you some lessons."

"What about the horse? Why does it eat so well?"

"Each meal is made of refined rice and flour, and there are also meat like eggs. The animals eat better than humans!"

"Since you have been sold into slavery, you will be here for the rest of your life anyway. You might as well take care of yourself and take good care of your body. Maybe then you can..."

Old man Yao winked and forced the egg into Ji Xiu's pocket.

After a while.

He couldn't help but feel a little sorry, so he sighed:
"This kid is really hardworking. If he can become a qualified 'Warrior', maybe he can succeed."

"But then again, we are all slaves now, and this is how it will be in our lives."

"Hey."

"What's the point of working so hard and tiring yourself out?"

but,
In a corner that Old Man Yao never noticed.

[Horse Taming Success, Times +1! ]

[Equestrianism: 754/1000! ]

[Equestrianism: Great Mastery! ]

[Currently mastered feature: waist and horse combined into one! ]

[When you are riding a horse, the horse under you is like an extension of your legs, and you can control it as if you were using your arms! ]

[During the process of doing horse stance and standing meditation, you can gather strength and surpass the limits of the human body! ]

Equestrianism!

Dacheng!

It really was worth all the hard work for so long.

Looking at the skills advanced on the 'Yuanshi Daolu'.
Ji Xiu wiped the sweat off his face and finally smiled brightly.

He stared at Old Man Yao for a long while.

He looked at me with a shudder in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking, 'This kid is not so ruthless and stubborn, is he going to betray me, an old man?'
Just now he quietly turned his eyes away.

Then, he touched the bulge in his left chest.

There, there were 'several ounces of silver'.

This was the reward money he received for saving the second young lady, Lin Ruyue, when he entered the mansion a few days ago.

Because it was personally reviewed by a noble person, no one dared to be greedy.

A full five taels!

I heard that Mr. Lin was originally going to reward him with a hundred or eighty coins, but he just gave it away.

As for the rest, Miss Lin felt that it was too little and made up for it herself.

He is a kind-hearted man.

Although it was her fault that she let the horse go, he had figured out the cause and effect of it a few days ago. It was someone who set up the trap, so he didn't blame Lin Ruyue.

Ji Xiu secretly took note of this in his heart and clenched his fists.

Every drop of kindness will be remembered in my heart.

But right now.
There are more important things.

Just yesterday,

He has already made an appointment with the Lin residence's security guard, Qin Biao.

I intend to ask him how to find the "opportunity to practice martial arts" after training the horse today!
Whether it is a martial arts school, a gang, or a private teaching.
As long as there is a way,
Even if it is the lowest-quality street stall goods or common goods, he has the confidence that he can stand out!

Come to this world,

Ji Xiu had never been so excited as he was today.

Now that I have money, the advance payment for the Dao talisman has been completed immediately.
The signs of a turnaround have begun to emerge!

So, I didn’t stay for long.

Ji Xiu walked with great speed, swallowed the eggs whole, and then impatiently
Go in stride!

The golden sunlight of the early morning fell on his back.

At this moment, Ji Xiu looked like the rising sun, and the full of vitality began here!
