Poor family mother and son

Chapter 148 Sheep Shearing Festival ([-])

After all, Xiaobao bought all of Chu Qing's clothes, but Chu Qing couldn't persuade him.

Chu Yuan laughed at Xiaobao: "Little fool! Where are we going now? We have to go inside after the wool is harvested. What will you do if you come across better clothes?"

Xiao Bao patted his pocket: "Are you asking if the head of the house has any money?"

Chu Yuan stopped talking.

On the third day, it is purely a day for herdsmen to gather and celebrate.

Herdsmen usually hold horse races, wrestling or beauty competitions on this day.

Because of the arrival of the caravan, several villages decided that everyone should have a good time, and all three things will be held.First there is the horse racing meeting.

They are all herding horses for King Zuoxian. There are a lot of horses, and horses also need to run around from time to time. Horse racing is the most suitable sport.

They called the boys of the caravan and asked them to join them.Of course the boys are very happy to be able to ride a thoroughbred Voss horse!

Chu Qing was also invited to race horses.But she didn't want to agree, but Xiaobao said: "Mother, they can invite you because they regard you as a hero of the grassland. You can't be timid."

"Baby, mother is not timid, mother's arm hurts!" Chu Qing was extremely helpless.It's a timid thing!It's your mother who still hurts!
"Mother, why don't I participate too?" Xiaobao probed.

"Can you climb on the back of a horse? Can you reach the stirrups?" Chu Yuan curled his lips.

"Chu Yuan, can't you say nice things? I'll carry him on the horse, what the hell!" Zhuo Yao quit.

Chu Qing felt itchy when he saw his boys so keen on horse racing.After learning riding and archery from Lao Yu for so long, I really didn't have a chance to compete with the people of Voss.

However, I felt a little uneasy. It was like studying Mathematical Olympiad for a few months and then going to participate in the most advanced international competition. I was very uncertain.

Never mind!It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you won't be ashamed even if you lose in a horse race with a bunch of Worth men!Chu Qing picked out a horse that looked pleasing to the eye.

This is a maroon three-year-old mare with well-proportioned limbs, black legs, mane and tail, and a slightly slender figure compared to other horses.But the muscle lines of this horse are very obvious, and the hooves are well trimmed.

Chu Qing first braided her hair into a big braid, then rolled up half of it, tied it behind her head with a red ribbon, and tied it with a bow; then processed the ponytail in the same way, braided the ponytail and tied it with a red bow.

The bay red horse seemed to like this kind of dress very much, rubbed its big head against Chu Qing's rolled up bow, and Chu Qing took out an apple and fed it to it.

This was something Chu Qing had never been willing to eat. There was a shortage of vegetables and fruits on the grassland, and Chu Qing himself was not willing to eat a bite of apples except for Xiao Bao.

The horse seemed to understand Chuqing's thoughts, smelled the apple, and pushed the apple in the direction of Chuqing with his nose.Chu Qing still handed it to it persistently.

One person and one horse, one eats and the other looks at each other, their eyes meet each other with affection.Chu Yuan gritted his teeth.

"What are you doing? Hungry for apples?" Chu Qing couldn't see that Chu Yuan disliked his interaction with the horse, and asked with blank eyes.

"That...can you go up? There is no saddle!" Chu Yuan continued to suck his teeth.

"Ah?" It was only then that Chu Qing noticed that there was no saddle.

Looking around, the herdsmen are already eager to try. All the horses have no saddles, only bridles.

"This...they don't use saddles for horse racing?" Chu Qing was depressed.From the very beginning when I learned to ride a horse, I had saddles and stirrups.

"We don't use saddles for horse racing here, they are very expensive!" Lahm was explaining to Xiaobao, and it seemed that Xiaobao also had the same question.

"That's great, I can't reach it anyway!" Xiaobao was very optimistic.

"You're so young, do you really want to participate?" Lahm was not at ease, Xiaobao was only five years old, so why not knock him down?

"It's enough if the horse is big enough! Horse racing is not about me!" Xiaobao coaxed.

"Then I'll accompany you, eh." Lahm was not confident in his riding skills, but his father had told him to take good care of the young master of the caravan.

"I don't need you, I'm here!" Zhuo Yao took over the words, "It's fine if I'm here."

Chu Qing looked at them, she did not believe that Zhuo Yao's horse could not use a saddle.She was more worried about Xiaobao.

Little Treasure untied the steel plate on his calf, and handed it to Zhuo Yao: "While watching, I will show you one!"

Chu Qing: "..."

Ram: "..."

Zhuo Yao: "..."

Chu Qing really wanted Xiaobao to go back and eat some snacks!But she still whispered to Hua Yi: "Let your father take care of Xiaobao." Hua Yi nodded and ran to find her father.

"Sisters, I want to participate in the competition, can you take care of me?" Chu Qing patted the beautiful mare, and the mare twitched its lips and lay down on the ground.

look!The sisters agreed!After Chu Qing got on the horse and sat down, her "sisters" stood up.

"Brother, I want to participate in the competition, please cooperate?" Xiaobao asked.

Xiaobao's horse also got down.

Chu Qing: "..."

Ram: "..."

Zhuo Yao: "..."

The power of example!
Chu Qing rode to Antuta's side: "Is there any prize?"

"Yes!" Antuta took a colorful pulu, "This one, isn't it beautiful?"

Look at it clearly, it is really beautiful, this pulu has seven colors, and you can see that the wool thread is very fine and tight, it is really a very good handwork.

"Then I'll add a lottery too!" Chu Qing said with a smile, "Dude!"

"Okay!" Chu Yuan went to the motorcade to bring two large iron pots and two tin kettles.

"No. 1 has a pot and a pot, No. 2 has a pot, and No. 3 has a pot!" Chu Qing said.

It takes two horses to change an iron pot, and the herdsmen are all over the place!

The riders stand on their horses.Just like a marathon, everyone stood together compactly.Chu Qing received special treatment and stood in the leading position.One man and one horse.The red bow is fluttering slightly in the wind, which is really exciting!

Antuta took out his eagle bone flute again, and there was a short and loud sound, and the riders' legs clamped the horse's belly, and the galloping momentum of thousands of horses came out.

I saw the loess rolling, and I couldn't see the grass under my feet at all, sweeping into the distance like a sandstorm.

The galloping of the horse brought the sound of the wind, and the wind also came to join in the fun at this time. Just now it was sunny and sunny, but now the wind began to use the horse's momentum, and the horse helped the wind!

Fortunately, it was following the wind direction, and the clear red bow was tightly attached to the back of the head, and the bow of the filly under the legs was tightly attached to the buttocks.Everyone don't look at anything else, just look at the bow tie!Even the yellow sand can't cover those two touches of red!
Fortunately, both the man and the horse were braided and tied up, otherwise the hair would have covered the eyes by now.

The competition field is in the open space between the three villages, bounded by the surrounding yurts, it takes two laps to form a huge ellipse, about five or six kilometers long.

At this time, the horses hadn't picked up too much speed, and the riders were trying their best to conserve their horsepower, Chu Qing didn't dare to use their strength blindly, she had to see what the riders would do.

There were several skinned lambs, marmots, and rabbits in the field, and there were even some capes and three-color pulu that were pressed down by stones!
Chu Qing felt that these people were really ruthless!How difficult it is to pick up things on the ground without stirrups!Lambs and marmots don’t weigh more than ten to twenty catties, but they can’t be grasped without a handle; pulu is light and sticks to the ground!Who came up with this idea!

Seeing the things on the ground ahead, the voices of the men yelling at the horses became louder.

"Ho!"

"Ho!"

Ram's father was the first to speed up and rushed out. His target was the lamb. The lamb was so tender!
This is also a lamb that has not been born for a long time and has not survived, otherwise the herdsmen would not be willing to kill and eat it.

"Sisters, go to third gear!" Chu Qing clamped his legs on the horse's belly and shouted loudly!She also wants to speed up, it doesn't matter what she can pick up, she has to try it.There is pain in the left arm, no matter!

Her "sisters" felt the strength coming from the flanks, and even shook their heads, throwing the "bangs" aside, as if they were saying: "Sit down, look at me!"

Chu Qing followed closely behind Abba Ram, and saw... this guy was holding a noose in his hand!Clearly understand this depression!Clearly looking around again, it was discovered that almost all these men were wearing ropes, and they used the method of lassoing horses here!

This anger!Don't tell me sooner!Let's prepare something!
