Chapter 152 Tiger Plane
"Sir, where are we going?" Li Chengdao said weakly on his horse. The sun was scorching. Although it was morning, the weather was still hot, especially the sun above his head. The occasional wind brought a stream of heat, and the wind was mixed with dust, which made people feel even more irritable.
"Hold on for a while, it will be here soon!" Li Xiu was competing with the horse he was riding. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and he was riding a horse given up by Li Chengdao's guards. As a result, this broken horse was bullied, which forced Li Xiu to control it with all his strength, otherwise where would it run?
Seeing Li Xiu riding on the horse, Li Chengdao couldn't help but feel a little funny. He finally found that his husband was not as good as his, that is riding, which was completely different from the omnipotent image that Li Xiu gave him before, but it also made him feel that Li Xiu was very real. It turned out that his husband was not proficient in everything.
I rode my horse over a hillside very much, and immediately saw a valley with dense forests. Not far after entering the valley, I soon saw a gurgling stream. However, at a turn of the stream, a small pond appeared. The pond was not very deep. Through the pool water, you can see that the inquiry was covered with pebbles of different colors, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Okay, it should be this place!" Li Xiu looked at the pool in front of him, which was only a hundred steps in a radius, and said happily. It was half an hour away from his new home. If Ma Ye hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that such a small pool would be in the nearby valley no matter what.
"Sir, you don't want to bring Qi Niang here no matter what. Is it just to see a small pool?" Li Chengdao looked at the pool in front of him and said in disbelief. When he came today, Li Xiu was only willing to bring him alone. Qi Niang was very unhappy about this and argued that she wanted to come together, but Li Xiu refused.
"Of course, it's not for taking you here, but for letting you go out to swim!" Li Xiu laughed and then jumped off his horse, stripped off his already wet clothes in a few seconds, and jumped into the water with only one big shorts, and "bang~" in his mouth. The splashing water hit Li Chengdao all at once.
"Swimming?" Li Chengdao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his expression showed a longing expression, but then he looked at the guards behind him and said hesitantly, "But...but my father doesn't let me swim?"
Li Xiu also knew that Li Chengdao actually wanted to go into the water, but the guards behind him would definitely stop him, because their responsibility was to kill the dangers that Li Chengdao might encounter in the cradle. However, although this ensured Li Chengdao's safety, it was not a good thing for his growth. Therefore, Li Xiu stood up in the water and smiled and said, "Swimming is today's course. You can choose to go to or not. Moreover, the water in this pool is not deep, and it only reaches the chest of adults at most. With me and so many guards here, are you still worried about your safety?"
Seeing Li Xiu standing in the pool, the water surface was only reaching his chest, which made Li Chengdao even more moved. He hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and immediately prepared to take off his clothes. However, the head of the guard behind him immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "You can't. If the prince knows that you are going into the water to swim, you will definitely blame you!"
"My father didn't let me go into the water because he was worried that I would be in danger, but you have also seen it. The water is so shallow, so there is no danger at all. In addition, the weather is so hot, do you want to see me heatstroke?" Li Chengdao scolded with a stern face. Not to mention, he looks really as majestic as a emperor and grandson.
Hearing Li Chengdao's reprimand, the guards were at a loss. Li Chengdao took this opportunity to tax the clothes on his body, and only wore a piece of crotch and jumped out of the water. The guards were not able to stop them at this time, so they had to separate a few people to stand by the pool and stare at Li Chengdao with bright eyes. As long as there was something abnormal about him, they would immediately go into the water to rescue him.
There are tall trees around the pool, blocking the scorching sunlight outside, which also makes the water in the pool very cool. After jumping in, it feels that the heat will disappear immediately. This familiar feeling reminds Li Xiu of his childhood when he was a child. Whenever the heat was unbearable, he and a group of friends would secretly run out of the monk and come to the river to take a bath. Although he would inevitably beat him up every time he went back, he still enjoyed it.
It was also the first time that Li Chengdao was swimming in the wild. In the past, he had to slap in the bathtub in the palace for a few times. Now he suddenly came to such a pond and immediately started to slap in joy. Unfortunately, he couldn't swim at all. He was still in the same place after a long time. Moreover, he was short and dared not go to the middle of the pool, so he could only wander around.
In contrast, Li Xiu seemed much more relaxed. He lay on the water and exposed his head, his hands and feet were slid under the water regularly. This swimming posture was also the standard swimming posture he and his friends went down the river. The scientific name was the dog paddle style. It was secondly, as long as it was easy to use, and Li Xiu only knew this. When he grew up, he never had the chance to swim again, even if there was a swimming pool not far from his house.
"Sir, didn't you say you wanted to teach me swimming?" Li Chengdao tried by the water for a long time, but still couldn't master the key points of swimming. At that moment, he had to ask for help from Li Xiu who was swimming in the water.
"No problem, I'll support you. Just do what I said!" Li Xiu paddled the dog pad and came to Li Chengdao, then let him lie on the water, and he was supporting him and teaching him the key points of the dog pad.
Li Chengdao is very smart, and he often practices martial arts and rides horses. The coordination of his hands and feet is much better than that of ordinary children. After Li Xiu taught him for a while, he could already swim in the shallow water, and he became more skillful as he swam. Not only did his movements become more standard, but his swimming speed also increased faster.
"Sir, the swimming method you taught is really good. Is it a name?" Li Chengdao swam happily in the water, his hands and feet under the water slashing rapidly. It seemed that he had mastered the essence of dog digging.
"Of course there is a name, this one is... well~" Li Xiu originally wanted to talk about dog padding, but he also thought that this name was simply too frustrating. The swimming posture of dog padding was ugly, and with such a frustrating name, it was impossible to say it.
However, Li Xiu has always been very anxious about this kind of thing. He immediately started to speak with an idea: "Tiger Shave, yes, this name is Tiger Shave!"
"Tiger Paved? This name is really domineering. Is this swimming posture related to tigers?" Li Chengdao asked with great interest when he heard this.
"That's natural. Chengdao has you ever seen a tiger swimming?" Li Xiu said seriously.
"I have seen tigers, and there are many tigers in Xiyuan, but I have never seen them what it is like to swim?" Li Chengdao replied honestly. The so-called Xiyuan refers to a royal garden west of Chang'an. It has many rare animals and plants. It is a complex of the Royal Zoo and Botanical Garden. Many plants in Princess Pingyang's home were moved from Xiyuan.
"Haha~, it's good that I haven't seen it before. No, it's okay if I haven't seen it before. You saw me swimming just now, that's the tiger paddle created by imitating the tiger swimming!" Li Xiu said with a blushing face and heartlessness. In fact, he had never seen tiger swimming, but in his opinion, tigers and dogs both walk on four legs, and they probably looked the same when swimming.
"So that's it, sir is really knowledgeable!" Li Chengdao has always been very convinced of Li Xiu and never thought that he would lie to him, so he accepted Li Xiu's explanation of the so-called tiger pier, and even looked at Li Xiu with admiration.
After being tired of swimming, Li Xiu took Li Chengdao to the valley to hunt. This was discovered by Ma Ye accidentally while hunting. He often came here to swim and escape the summer heat. According to him, there were also a lot of prey in the valley, which was easy to catch.
However, what Ma Ye said was easy to be compared to him. For a person like Li Xiu who could not hit every shot within ten meters, and a child like Li Chengdao, it was too difficult to hit the pheasants flying around in the dense forest. In the end, the guards next to Li Chengdao took action and only then did he hit a few preys.
Li Xiu picked the fatest pheasant to clean the internal organs and remove the hair. After applying seasonings inside, he found a few large leaves to wrap it, and threw it into the fire to simmer.
"Sir, you have all the pheasants covered with mud. Can you still eat them?" Li Chengdao was a little suspicious of Li Xiu's cooking techniques, especially his guards had already started roasting chickens, and the tempting fragrance kept floating over. Anyway, his guards had hundreds of people, and even if they attracted any beast, they could only deliver vegetables to them.
"Hehe, if you think it's dirty, you can eat roasted chicken first!" Li Xiu said with a smile. Only the beggar chicken made in this way is the real original flavor of sweat. In later generations, I can't even eat it.
"No, I'd better wait to eat with my husband!" Li Chengdao also learned to be smart, and blinked at the moment. He knew that Li Xiu had always been treacherous and would definitely not be wronged. Although the mud ball just now looked ugly, maybe he would really make some delicious food?
Seeing Li Chengdao's shrewd look, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing. This kid is getting more and more cunning, and it will be difficult for him to lie to him again.
Just as Li Xiu and Li Chengdao were swimming and hunting in the valley, he didn't know that on the way in front of his house, a woman was running wildly. In the blink of an eye, she rushed to Li Xiu's house, then flew off the horse and rushed into the yard and asked loudly: "Where is Li Xiu, let him come out to see me!" (To be continued.)
