Chapter 84 Riding a Horse

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and pointed at four more books. Miss Ding snorted, "You are so greedy!", but immediately said, "Deal!"

"Don't damage them. Send them back to me after copying them. My father has read them, and there are his annotations on them. I won't give them to anyone else who wants to buy them for a lot of money!" she said proudly.

“And!” He added, “You are not allowed to lend it to others. You have to swear that if you don’t do it, you will be struck by lightning or die!”

Qin Yao raised her hand in a funny manner, swore a poisonous oath in a decent manner, then folded her arms and asked:

 “Any more requests?”

Ms. Ding said confidently: "Yes!"

Qin Yao has a good temper, "Please tell me."

 The girl suddenly lowered her voice, "Don't let my father know."

"This is no problem." Qin Yao raised her hand and picked up her little hand under her dazed look, "Givemefive!"

Ms. Ding asked blankly: "What kind of food?"

“Miss, it’s time for lunch!” Aunt Qiao shouted outside the study.

Qin Yao couldn't wait to walk out of the study, "Let's make some food."

 “Huh?” Miss Ding was startled. She was obviously not doing anything because her tone was missing one level.

Following Qin Yao’s butt, he asked persistently: “What meal did you just talk about?”

Qin Yao took the big bowl handed over by Cao'er, tapped the rim of the bowl with her chopsticks, and made two crisp sounds, and said nonsense seriously:

“I’m just talking about eating, there’s nothing else to do. Miss, please go in and have lunch. After eating, you can train in the afternoon.”

Hearing the word training, Miss Ding stopped asking further questions and hurried in to eat.

 She knew nothing about the training content at this time, and was full of naive expectations for the afternoon training.

There are horses in Ding Mansion. Although they are usually used to pull carts, they are not in the way.

There was also a saddle, which belonged to Master Ding. Qin Yao asked Zhang Ba to take it out and put it on the horse. He led the horse and took Miss Ding, who had changed into a pair of narrow-sleeved shorts and trousers, out of the stable and onto the road.

In front of Ding's house is a loess road more than two meters wide. It is a straight road from east to west, which is two to three hundred meters long.

 This road is the road leading from the town to the village of the Ding clan. It is rarely used by people on weekdays.

　　It had just rained in the morning, and the sun came out again at noon, so the road surface was already dry.

Seeing Qin Yao get on the horse and catch Miss Ding on the horse again, she shouted excitedly. Aunt Qiao and Butler Yu looked at each other with their hearts in their throats.

Fortunately, Qin Yao's horse control skills seemed to be pretty good, and the horse was already docile. The horse started running on the road, and the entire road was filled with Miss Ding's excited howls.

Butler Yu looked at Aunt Qiao with some sadness, "If the master comes back and finds that the young lady can actually ride and shoot, he will be very surprised, right?"

 Aunt Qiao said with a bitter face, "Probably"

 After all, the master loves the young lady very much, so he should, maybe, not mind her learning these things that only men can do.

Both of them were very nervous, but seeing the girl riding the horse and laughing freely, they felt that this was really beautiful.

They sat down next to the stone lion at the door and watched the horses carrying Qin Yao and Ding Xiang back on the road. It seemed that their hearts were flying away with them.

However, the silver bell-like laughter of the **** the horse gradually changed its tone, because the horse ran faster and faster, jolting everyone around her.

Ms. Ding couldn't laugh anymore. She lay on the horse's back in fear, hugged the horse's strong neck tightly, buried her head in the horse's mane, closed her eyes tightly, and shouted: "Let it stop quickly." , stop!”

However, it was of no use. A hand reached out from behind and straightened her head.

"Look ahead, look at the road, I'm behind you, don't be afraid." Qin Yao's calm and steady voice rang in his ears, Ding Xiang took a deep breath, followed her instructions, and slowly opened his eyes.

 A burst of dust made her want to close her eyes again in fright.

 “Open!”

 A sharp shout made the little girl's eyes widen in fright.

But soon her body was pushed down, and the two of them lay prone on the left side of the horse's back, leaning slightly. They used the horse's body to avoid the wind and sand, and they could see the road clearly.

Qin Yao said in a low voice: "We don't have time for you to communicate with the horse and adapt to the environment bit by bit, so you have to remember every word I tell you now."

“First of all, riding a horse does not mean that you ride on it and follow it, but you control it, control the reins in your hands, and let it match your rhythm.”

Ding Xiang thought to himself, shouldn’t people follow the rhythm of the horse’s running? She remembered what the riding master said when her brother learned to ride a horse.

But forget it, she can only listen to Qin Yao now. If she hesitates any longer, she will fall.

“Overcome the fear in your heart. There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you control the reins, you will not fall.”

Really? Ding Xiang was suspicious in his heart.

 But he still obeyed and took the reins handed over by Qin Yao.

 Then, the horse's speed obviously slowed down, because the person holding the reins was no longer Qin Yao.

Ding Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, listened to the tips in his ears, adjusted his sitting posture, held the reins, and tried to control the horse.

 Because there was someone behind her, knowing that she would definitely protect her, she gradually became less afraid.

 Without fear, everything seems to become gentler.

Under her control, the horse's speed became slower and slower, and finally maintained the rhythm of the step, strolling along the avenue in small steps.

“It’s so good~” Ding Xiang turned to Qin Yao and smiled in surprise. She began to feel a little bit of control.

Qin Yao curled her lips and smiled, "Try to speed up."

"Um!"

Ding Xiang shook the reins, and the horse received the command and started to trot.

It was not very obedient, so Qin Yao taught the girl in front of him to kick the horse's belly and tell her:

“Remember, you are an animal trainer. If the horse is obedient, give it a handful of grass. If it is disobedient, give it a warning. Remember, you have to tame it!”

Caught off guard, Butler Yu's heart skipped a beat. He always felt that there was something wrong with the equestrian skills taught by Qin Yao, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

 Forget it, it seems that the young lady has learned quite well, so she should be fine.

The two people on horseback ran back and forth on the road in front of the door for countless times until the sun went down, dark clouds came, and storm was about to come. Then they led the horse back, covered in sweat.

Qin Yao said: "I want to take a bath."

Ding Xiang nodded tiredly and asked Cao'er to boil Qin Yao's share of the bath water. The two of them took a quick shower in the house.

Due to excessive physical exertion, Ding Xiang finished three bowls of rice and stared at Aunt Qiao.

After eating and the excitement passed, Ding Xiang felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Qin Yao walked in, sat down opposite her, asked the little girl to put her legs on his knees, and massaged her muscles to relax.
