"Thank you for making this special trip." Wei Ting stood up and saluted Mr. Qu, then took the drawings and examined them carefully.
In the past, a whole set of horse armor was divided into two parts to protect the horse's head and torso.
The main use of war horses is cavalry. The imperial court organized heavy cavalry in which both men and horses were armored - armored cavalry. The structure of horse armor became increasingly complete, and from then on it was called armored armor or horse armor.
The cookie drawing consists of six parts: the "face curtain" to protect the horse's head, the "chicken neck" to protect the horse's neck, the "chest" to protect the horse's chest, the "horse armor" to protect the torso, the "back" to protect the horse's buttocks, and the "parasite" standing upright on the tail.
In this way, the warhorse's entire body is protected by armor except for its ears, eyes, mouth, nose, limbs, and tail.
"Actually, leaving the limbs exposed isn't safe either, but the equipment is too restrictive and will affect the horse's movements. So, after careful consideration, I decided to abandon the protection of the limbs and extend the horse armor to cover the limbs. This can be considered a simple layer of protection."
Cookie continued to talk: "I also added a muzzle to put on the horse's mouth to prevent the warhorse from chewing on food outside and getting infected..."
"I just came back, and I guess I haven't had time to inform Mr. Ting yet. Back in Anping, I told you about the horse armor, so I came here uninvited. I hope Mr. Ting won't blame me."
Wei Ting listened to him patiently and said gently, "Mr. Qu, you're welcome."
"Mr. Qu, these blueprints are like timely rain." He pointed at the blueprints in his hand. "Before the warhorse came back, my fifth cousin sent someone to tell me about the horse armor. I was worried about it, so Mr. Qu came to me."
Cookie was very modest. "I don't deserve your praise, Lord Ting, but as for the material, I suggest using leather."
Iron armor has stronger defensive capabilities, but as the armor's protective power increases, its weight also increases greatly.
If the load is too heavy, the warhorse will become useless to them. They need to protect the warhorse from being injured by zombies and causing wound infection. In fact, the leather is enough.
Wei Ting nodded slightly. "With only a hundred war horses, the leather materials should be enough. When we swept through the county, we cleared out several leatherwork shops, and the leather materials were all stored in the public warehouse and not put into use."
"If you have time, sir, I'll make one in a few days. Please come and take a look then."
Cookie smiled slightly and said, "It will be up to Mr. Ting to decide from now on. Mr. Ting may not know this, but these hundred war horses are worth two thousand pieces of dynamite. I need to help this girl pay off her debt first..."
Wei Ting paused, feeling that although Mr. Qu had a smile on his face when he said this, his tone was somewhat gritted.
He said, "In that case, I won't bother Mr. Qu any more. When the horse armor is ready, it will be the same for my fifth cousin to see it."
Cookie nodded slightly, "Of course, in the end it's up to the girl to decide anyway."
The sun had already set, and Cookie didn’t stay long.
Cookie said, "It's getting late, and I'm in a hurry to get to Shilin Village, so I'll take my leave now."
Wei Ting put away the drawings and personally escorted the person out.
………
After Wei Xiyin and the child met Master Qiu, they returned home.
This was the first time Wen Kang had walked out of the dock in such a long time.
The elders of the tribe often told the children that it was dangerous outside and ordered them not to approach the gate of the fort.
The child seemed to understand but was very curious, but the fort was full of clansmen and servants, and there were many guards guarding the gate. So far, only Gu Qiu had walked out of the fort, and that was when he was accompanied by someone and with the girl's consent.
Wenkang followed beside his fifth aunt, his eyes wide open, exploring with curiosity. He found everything strange, and his eyes rolled around as he looked at the scene outside in surprise.
There are so many people outside and so many houses.
Even when he stepped onto the suspension bridge, he was still looking back reluctantly.
After entering the fort, Wen Kang couldn't help but look up and ask, "Fifth Aunt, can I come out more often in the future?"
Wei Xiyin stared at him with a half-smile, "Then you have to be obedient. When you win the martial arts class one day, I will allow you to come out and play."
Wen Kang: “…”
"My aunt has her own instructor, and my third uncle has specially arranged guards for her. I don't have any..." Wen Kang looked depressed. "I want one too, but my second uncle doesn't know how to teach at all!"
Wei Xiyin paused, the child was disappointed.
The key is how can Erlang teach children!
It's good that he doesn't lead others into trouble. They are not on the same level.
"You should finish your studies first and wait until next year. Next year, when you are five years old, your fifth aunt will assign you a coach." Four years old is too young.
Practicing martial arts is purely for strengthening the body, it's like a joke, how can we arrange a coach alone? What if other young men and women also want to learn it? What should we do then?
Gu Qiu's situation was special, and the purpose was to help her get over the grief of losing her loved ones as soon as possible.
While they were talking, the two had already returned to the old house.
At the edge of the sky, colorful clouds passed by and gradually merged into the night. The surrounding scenery became hazy and the outlines were no longer clear.
As night fell, Wei Lang also returned home from the camp.
With two children around, the main courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, and it was a rare occasion for the family to get together for a meal.
Wei Ji was in a good mood seeing that his younger generations were all at home.
The weather was hot and he usually had no appetite, but today he ate half a bowl of rice more.
After dinner, Wen Kang and Wei Lang returned to their own courtyard to rest.
Wei Xiyin stayed in the main courtyard and chatted with her grandfather about family matters.
She was busy outside all day, and every time she came back she was talking about serious matters. It had been a long time since she had chatted with her grandfather to relieve his boredom.
Time passed quickly while we chatted.
Seeing that it was late at night, she slowly took her leave and returned to her own Chaoxi Courtyard.
Ningshuang had returned a long time ago and was waiting in the yard with the boiled water for bath.
Seeing someone coming back, Ning Shuang stepped forward and saluted, "Girl."
It was late at night, and an oil lamp was lit under the eaves to guide the way.
By the faint light.
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but look at the personal maid who grew up with her.
After not seeing her for many days, the little girl seemed to have opened up a little, her eyes became brighter and more lively. I wonder if it’s because she has been running around recently, but she looks much more energetic than before.
Wei Xiyin nodded with a smile, "Not bad, very well done."
Ning Shuang naturally understood what the girl was talking about. She felt a little embarrassed and lowered her eyes slightly and replied, "I am timid and cannot serve you all the time. Now I can help the tribe and help you do some things. It is my duty."
"There's no such thing as should or shouldn't. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone should live up to their own value."
Wei Xiyin walked slowly into the house, saying as she walked, "If I come back late in the future, you don't have to wait in the yard. You still have to go to the county town to work tomorrow, so go and rest early."
