Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

After lunch, Lin Shu handed over the remaining drawings to Yan Lie.

"You can find a craftsman and I'll explain it to him first."

Yan Lie nodded immediately and took Lin Shu to find the craftsman.

Here everyone uses one bow and one arrow, and very few people can shoot two arrows with one bow.

Now a crossbow can fire ten arrows, which is incredible to think about.

If the Bahraini army had such weapons, it would be a great help in combat.

Tubu looked at the picture in his hand and became more and more excited.

"Miss Lin, this picture is really wonderful. Why didn't I think of it before?"

Lin Shu looked at Tubu and thought that he should understand what he had drawn.

But think about it, I am a craftsman and have made so many things, so I have a basic concept of many items after going through them in my mind.

That’s good, communication will be much easier this way.

"Great, you can understand this. I'll just tell you the dimensions and you can try making one first. If there's anything wrong, we can fix it."

Tubu nodded, again with an expression of disbelief.

"Girl, are you really giving us this thing?"

Lin Shu didn't understand, "What's the problem?"

Tub explained with a smile,

"Haha, of course no problem. I've made many bows and arrows. Not only in our grasslands, but even in Qi, there haven't been any crossbows like this. Miss Lin, you're really amazing. As a woman, you have such accomplishments in this area."

After hearing this, Lin Shu blushed.

"Thank you for the compliment. This isn't something I came up with. My senior brother drew it. I just happened to see it, so I copied it. I'm happy to be able to help you."

Tubu pushed Yan Lie beside him,

"You have good taste and brought back a treasure."

Yan Lie smiled, looking proud.

"Nonsense, the woman I like must be the best."

Although Lin Shu was somewhat accustomed to his tone, that was only when they were alone. Why was he still like that in public?

Taking advantage of the opportunity to change the subject,

"How long does it take to make a crossbow like this?"

Tub thought for a moment.

"About three days. It's definitely going to take some time since it's your first time. Once you get the hang of it, it should be quicker."

"Okay then. If there are any problems later, I'll come and modify these drawings."

Tub nodded.

Next, Lin Shu explained to him all the annotations on the drawing himself, trying to avoid professional terms and use vernacular instead.

Yan Lie on the side looked at the little woman's serious expression, as if her whole body was coated with a layer of golden light, and his heart was full of amazement.

Such a talented and beautiful woman belongs to him.

The gods really treat him well!

. . . . . .

After leaving Tubu's place, Lin Shu didn't want to go back to the tent so early. He had been painting all morning and wanted to relax.

Suddenly seeing the horses in the distance, he felt that he should adapt to the life here and not rely on Yan Lie for everything. There were times when he couldn't take care of things. He turned around and looked at the man beside him.

"Yan Lie, I want to learn horse riding? Can you teach me?"

Yan Lie was a little surprised when he heard she wanted to ride a horse. When they first met, she said she was afraid of heights. Why did she want to learn now? Did she not want to ride with him anymore?

"Why do you suddenly want to learn horseback riding?"

Lin Shu told him his thoughts.

When Yan Lie heard that he had to adapt to the life here, his previous disappointment was swept away, and he excitedly took her hand.

"Haha, come on, I'll teach you. I guarantee you'll learn it in one day."

The two came to the horse farm, and Yan Lie picked out a chestnut pony for Lin Shu, which was not that tall.

He put the reins on her, installed the saddle, and considerately laid a mat on top.

Carry the person up.

Yan Lie rode his own horse and followed beside her.

Lin Shu looked at Yan Lie's horse, which looked familiar.

"Have I seen this horse before?"

Yan Lie looked at her and smiled.

"Didn't you give it a bath before? Did you forget?"

Lin Shu looked carefully at the horse next to him, and suddenly remembered that this was the horse he brushed by the river last time.

"So it's your horse."

Yan Lie smiled and looked at her eagerly.

"Haha, it's luckier than me. It can even enjoy you personally scrubbing it. I just don't know when I will be able to enjoy such treatment again."

Lin Shu blushed instantly when he heard the word "scrub bath". Thinking of the last time he rubbed her back, she said angrily,

"Are you going to teach me or not? If not, I'll go back."

"Shu'er, you're always so shy. I really like you more and more, hehe."

Lin Shu pinched his arm.

"If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll really go back."

Yan Lie looked at the little woman pinching him just now, worried that he would make her angry again.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll teach you, I'll teach you."

Yan Lie held Lin Shu's reins, asked her to hold the saddle firmly with both hands, and took her for a few steps to let her get used to it.

Then he handed her the rope.

Let her keep her body upright, with her knees and thighs clamped to the saddle, and her calves close to the horse's belly. When walking slowly, her body can be relaxed, but the reins must be held firmly in her hands.

When trotting, the waist and hips should swing with the horse's rhythm to reduce the impact and change the direction of the horse through the reins.

Yan Lie taught seriously and Lin Shu also learned seriously.

But this man never misses any opportunity to make a move.

"Shu'er, your hair is messy, let me help you sort it out."

"Shu'er, your posture just now was wrong. I'll sit behind you and teach you step by step."

"Shu'er, you smell so good. I never see you use perfume. Is it body odor?"

. . . . . .

Finally, Lin Shu got angry.

"If you do this again, I won't learn from you."

Seeing that she was really angry, Yan Lie immediately became obedient.

"I'm just teaching you! Don't be angry. Haha."

Lin Shu ignored him, just rolled his eyes, rode the horse alone, and went to the side to practice holding the reins.

Seeing this, Yan Lie hurried to catch up. This time he really taught seriously and stopped talking nonsense.

The two of them learned and rode along the way until they came to the river.

Because the horse was not that tall, Lin Shu was able to dismount by himself. However, as soon as he landed, he felt a little uncomfortable and staggered.

My legs still hurt a little.

After riding for so long, my feet are a little sweaty.

I walked to the river, sat down, took off my shoes and socks, and rolled up one leg of my trousers.

It was very comfortable to immerse my feet in the cool river water.

I remember when I was in elementary school, I would go to my grandparents’ house during the summer vacation. During the busy farming season, the villagers would release water into the ditches around the farmland.

Every time this happened, her cousin would take her to sit by the ditch and wade in the water.

Yan Lie chased after her and saw the exposed part of her calf, which was particularly white and dazzling in the sunlight.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, and the protruding blue veins were faintly visible under the skin.

Lin Shu also saw Yan Lie and waved to him.

"Yan Lie, this water is so comfortable, let's tread water together."

Yan Lie took a long breath, walked over to her and sat down, looking at her fair skin in the water, his voice a little hoarse.

"Here... the water is cold here, be careful not to catch a cold."
