Chapter 25
After Ye Tianhui moved to the horse farm, she lived a carefree but cautious life. She felt carefree and comfortable because her life was really good here and she could eat in the staff cafeteria for free.
The food in the staff cafeteria was naturally not as good as that served to guests, but it was pretty good for her.
As for this stable, even though it is next to the racehorses, the conditions are really good. You can take a shower at any time, and there is air conditioning. It can be said that Ye Tianhui has never enjoyed such comfort in her two lifetimes.
Although she was a general assisting the country in her previous life, she spent most of her time on military campaigns. Even if she stayed in Yanjing City for a short time, there was no air conditioning in that technologically backward era. In short, the level of enjoyment she had was definitely not as good as it is now.
But no matter how comfortable it is here, she still has to be wary of Ye Wenyin, so she still has to be careful everywhere.
Fortunately, after observing for the past few days, she found that although Ye Wenyin was the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she did not actually have much real power. In other words, she did not have any connections that she could mobilize to do dirty things that could be hidden from everyone.
This is understandable. After all, in a large family like the Ye family, there are probably strict regulations on the money that children can use, and they cannot spend it casually. So Ye Wenyin can buy brand-name clothes and expensive crocodile boots, but she cannot spend money lavishly.
Besides, she was only eighteen years old after all, and she did not hold real power in the Ye family. She had studied abroad for two years before. Ye Wenyin was at best a favored lady of a wealthy family. She did not have the energy to do anything to herself.
That day, after Ye Tianhui and Jessie bathed the racehorses, they wiped them clean. There was nothing to do in the stable for the time being, so Ye Tianhui thought about going over to see Lin Jianquan.
Lin Jianquan, as a bug boy, has now officially entered the bug boy training. From what she learned from the side, the rules of the horse farm for bug boys are very strict, so strict that it is inhumane. It is said that at least half of the bug boys will automatically quit because they cannot bear the torture-like training.
Ye Tianhui ran to Chongzai's training center, but couldn't even get in the door. Relying on her identity as a stable assistant, she asked around and found out that Chongzai was undergoing a three-month closed training. During the training period, he was absolutely not allowed to see outsiders, not even his relatives.
Ye Tianhui was a little disappointed and a little worried. After returning to the stable, she chatted with Jessie, but Jessie acted as if it was nothing new: "This is how Chongzi is trained."
Ye Tianhui: "What are they training for?"
Jessie shrugged and shook her head. "The content of their training is confidential, so I don't know. But I heard that they can't eat."
Can’t eat…
Ye Tianhui thought of Lin Jianquan's frail appearance, as if he would fall down with a gust of wind.
Jessie sighed. "For example, I know a jockey who, when we wash horses, will deliberately avoid us and won't look or listen."
Ye Tianhui: "Why?"
Jessie: "Because they go on a diet and abstain from water in order to strictly control their weight, when they reach a certain point, they hear the sound of dripping water and see the water flowing, which is torture."
Ye Tianhui was speechless for a moment.
Jessie: "I heard they have many other methods. In short, they will do anything to lose weight."
*********
Ye Wenyin hasn't appeared in the past few days, and Ye Tianhui feels a little relaxed.
She guessed that even if Ye Wenyin wanted to deal with her, it would not be so easy. After all, she was at the horse farm and did not go out easily, so she could do nothing.
That day, she went to the library at the racecourse, returned the book she had borrowed before, and found a few other books to read. She had gained a lot of knowledge at the racecourse recently, and had given up the idea of making small money by betting.
Before, she was able to win money only by luck. There are too many things to pay attention to in horse racing. It is extensive and profound. It is definitely not something that a person who understands horses can win money by just taking a few glances. If it were that simple, there would have been a horse expert who made a fortune long ago.
What she should do most now is to improve her knowledge and experience. Whether the Ye family recognizes her or not in the future, she must find a good way for herself.
As she was thinking this, she was about to go back to the stables with a few books she had borrowed, when she saw some people waiting outside the reception room, being watched over by the stable staff.
Judging from the clothes those people were wearing, they were all very poor.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused. After all, in a place like a horse farm, she, a girl from the mainland, came to work as a lowly stable assistant. Those rich girls seemed to think that it lowered the grade of the horse farm. Why were there so many poor people here suddenly?
She walked closer and chatted with the staff there. Perhaps because she was also a staff member of the stable, the other party was patient and mentioned to her that this was Chongzi's family.
It turns out that although those bug boys were undergoing closed training, in the early stages, in order to help them better survive the difficult training period, they had a chance to see their families once a week.
This kind of meeting lasts about ten minutes. It is separated by a glass fence and you cannot give anything to each other, but you can say a few words to find out about the situation at home.
Ye Tianhui listened and looked at the people in Chongzai's family. Most of them looked haggard and numb, and their clothes were very backward, similar to the style of the mainland more than ten years ago. There were old ladies wearing old-fashioned double-breasted jackets, and middle-aged people wearing coarse cloth jackets. In short, this was a group of people whose clothing style was completely different from that of the glamorous Hong Kong. This was also the shadow side of the prosperous world.
She couldn't help but wonder what Lin Jianquan's mother was like. I guess his mother would come to see him too.
But after looking around, she didn't see anyone who might be his mother in age.
At this time, the bugs were led by the horse trainer and lined up here.
Ye Tianhui saw that Lin Jianquan was indeed not among those bugs.
Chongzai approached and filed into the reception room. All the family members looked over at once.
But those bugs didn't look away. They all had pale faces and indifferent expressions. They wore hats, lowered their eyes slightly, and followed the horse trainer in unison.
Ye Tianhui probably understood that this should be the rule of Chongzi. The rule was so strict that even though they knew their relatives were right next to them, they could not even look up at them.
The families looked at Chongzi attentively. Some raised their hands to wipe away their tears, and some murmured their children's names in a low voice. However, they were quickly stopped by the staff of the stable next to them. Then the scene became silent, and the families looked at their children with eager and longing eyes.
Ye Tianhui whispered to the staff member next to her, "Excuse me, do you know Lin Jianquan? Didn't his family come to see him?"
The staff member listened and thought for a moment: "Lin Jianquan, are you talking about that bug with the black eyes? I heard he's doing very well, and all the horse trainers are optimistic about him."
Ye Tianhui: "Yes, the one with dark eyes."
By this time, Chongzai's family members had filed in. The staff member quickly marked off the names of the children and casually said, "His father died a long time ago. His mother was a prostitute and sold her body to support him. Then something happened to her. She was beaten and went crazy. No one in his family came to see him."
Chongzai and his family went in and the door of the reception room was closed.
Ye Tianhui held the book in her hand and went back to her stable with her head down.
The autumn wind blew, and the branches and leaves on the roadside swayed. A red and yellow mottled maple leaf floated down and landed in front of her.
She was stunned for a long moment before she bent down to pick it up and put it between the pages of her book.
**********
At six o'clock on Sunday morning, after morning exercises, the horses returned to the stables, and Ye Tianhui and Jessie began to prepare intensively for the upcoming internal race. This internal race is held within the racecourse and is not open to the public. It is held approximately every two weeks, and all jockeys within the racecourse can sign up.
Those bug boys will also participate, which is a good opportunity for new bug boys to accumulate points.
Jessie was very excited. He had already placed a bet with his friends on those bugs. He was optimistic about Lin Jianquan and thought that Lin Jianquan would achieve some results in this competition.
Jessie said slyly, "Those jockeys give these little buggers a handicap, like ten pounds!"
This is naturally a big advantage for Chongzi. They are young and light in weight, and regular riders have to give them some weight, so they are likely to achieve some results.
Ye Tianhui: "I hope so."
Jessie, however, has greater confidence in Lin Jianquan: "After all, he came from our stable. I hope he can succeed."
Ye Tianhui listened and recalled the day when her relatives met. She saw the cold and indifferent looks of those bugs who stared at her without blinking. They could not show any joy when they saw their relatives, but they should be happy in their hearts.
Where is Lin Jianquan?
Then he said, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
Jessie cheered and almost hugged her happily: "Great, let's cheer for Lin Jianquan together!"
However, what Ye Tianhui and Jessie did not expect was that this internal competition was larger than they thought. They even saw some VIP members of the racecourse coming over, reportedly to see the performance of their Chongzi.
As for Ye Tianhui, she was called over again to be the on-site assistant, responsible for serving those female VIPs.
Jessie felt a little sorry: "Then you won't be able to see Lin Jianquan."
In just a week or two, Lin Jianquan had become a somewhat legendary name among the bugs. Obviously, everyone had high hopes for him and believed that he could succeed.
Many VIP members of the racecourse began to take notice of him, and he became very popular.
For those members, buying out a bug's future before he becomes successful is so cheap that it is almost negligible, and may bring rich returns in the future.
Ye Tianhui also felt a little regretful, and she was also a little worried. She heard that someone from the Ye family would come today, and it was most likely Ye Wenyin.
Ye Wenyin brought Lin Jianquan to their stable. Although the contract has not been signed yet, with the power of the Ye family, Lin Jianquan is very likely to stay in the Ye family stable and then be signed with a long-term contract by the Ye family to buy out his lifelong riding career.
But she had no choice, so she tidied herself up a little, changed into the uniform, and went to the VIP area.
As soon as we arrived at the VIP area, we saw Ye Wenyin. She was wearing a plaid shirt and high-top riding boots, looking very heroic. And next to her was Gu Zhihan.
Gu Zhihan wore a khaki suit vest and jacket, with a white shirt and tie inside, and a tight riding and horse collar underneath. He looked casual and unrestrained, yet extremely handsome, more like the Prince Charming in a fairy tale.
There were other female waiters present as well, and many of them looked at Gu Zhihan and Ye Wenyin with envy.
As soon as Ye Tianhui passed by, Gu Zhihan's gaze swept over.
Afterwards, he sat on the leather sofa, lazily stretching his long legs, and asked Ye Wenyin beside him with a smile: "This woman looks familiar, do you remember her?"
Ye Tianhui stood aside, looking at her nose and pretending not to hear.
Gu Zhihan's comments, as if he were alone, revealed arrogance and indifference.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyin glanced at Ye Tianhui indifferently, then smiled and said, "Isn't this the northern girl from the Jockey Club before? Have you forgotten?"
Gu Zhihan propped his chin with one hand and glanced at Ye Tianhui thoughtfully: "I remember now. You were so kind and gave her the leftover snacks. Clothes make the man. She looks better now than before. I almost didn't recognize her."
As he said that, he instructed Ye Tianhui: "This room is a bit stuffy, open the window over there."
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin hurriedly said, "No, it's not a big deal. Besides, there are so many people here, and no one thinks it's a big deal. I'm here to do as the locals do."
Gu Zhihan listened and looked at Ye Tianhui again. Ye Tianhui was actually quite good-looking, but she looked too plain. Her hair was simply tied up, and she was wearing a blue stable uniform. She stood there with no expression, as if she didn't see him at all.
But he did remember the look in Ye Tianhui's eyes when she saw him for the first time. She paid a lot of attention to him and looked at him several times.
Why are you pretending? You are just a superficial woman who only cares about her looks!
He sneered with some disdain: "How can this kind of staff compare with you!"
Ye Wenyin smiled after hearing this, and glanced at Ye Tianhui lightly, but she gently advised: "Don't say that. The staff here are all professionals. Grandpa has high hopes for this horse race. I came here to do some research first, and I have to rely on the staff here."
Gu Zhihan glanced at Ye Tianhui with disdain: "There are many professionals at the horse farm. This mainland girl is nothing."
After he said this, he saw Ye Tianhui still looking straight ahead, as if he was not talking about her.
He found it more and more funny. This mainland girl was so shameless.
As they were talking, they saw that the riders and bugs had already arrived in the racecourse outside. Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhihan were in the best position on the third floor, and from their perspective they could see the situation on the field at a glance.
Ye Wenyin looked at Gu Zhihan with a smile: "I picked out three or four bugs, and I want to filter out a good one. Do you want to go with me to take a look?"
Gu Zhihan nodded: "Let's go."
Ye Wenyin and Gu Zhihan were about to go downstairs. When they were going downstairs, Gu Zhihan suddenly looked at Ye Tianhui next to him.
He raised his eyebrows and instructed the person in charge next to him: "Let this staff member follow us down. He will be at our disposal if you need anything."
When the person in charge heard this, he naturally had nothing to say and hurriedly said to Ye Tianhui, "You accompany Miss Ye and Mr. Gu down there and pay more attention."
At the same time, he said to Gu Zhihan, "Mr. Gu, this is a staff member of our stable. She is not very knowledgeable. Please feel free to ask her for anything. If she does something wrong, please forgive her."
Gu Zhihan curled his lips and smiled: "I know."
Ye Wenyin frowned slightly from the side. She didn't like this. She felt that Gu Zhihan paid too much attention to Ye Tianhui.
Gu Zhihan has been handsome since he was a child, and there are countless women who have fallen for him, but he is too picky and doesn't like any of them. He doesn't even look at ordinary women.
Ye Wenyin grew up with Gu Zhihan, knew his character well, and had a good relationship with him.
But Ye Wenyin has someone else she loves.
But she knew very well that the person she loved would never respond to her, and she would never have any further connection with that person. She could only bury all her thoughts deep in her heart.
Originally, with Ye Wenyin's identity, since she didn't like Gu Zhihan, she naturally didn't have to do anything with him. Even if her family wanted a marriage, she could refuse. After all, she was the legitimate granddaughter of the Ye family, so she had the confidence to do so.
But now all her confidence has vanished into thin air, and she began to understand that only by desperately holding on to Gu Zhihan can she grasp her own future.
Gu Zhihan was like a piece of driftwood to her, so she used all her skills and showed tenderness and consideration to him, and she really made Gu Zhihan fall into the love net she had woven, and he became a hundred times more gentle to her.
Given Gu Zhihan's arrogant character, no woman could easily catch his eye. If she could be noticed by him, she was already halfway to success. Therefore, she was confident about her marriage with Gu Zhihan.
She thought that if this marriage could be accomplished, it would actually be what she wanted.
Moreover, if it worked out, she would be one step closer to her dream. Even if they could not be husband and wife, they would have an indirect relationship.
This made Ye Wenyin feel a kind of incestuous pleasure in the unknown part of her heart.
However, now Gu Zhihan actually paid special attention to Ye Tianhui. Although that attention was contemptuous and condescending, it also made her feel a little uneasy.
As a woman, she is particularly sensitive to the thoughts of the men around her.
Perhaps because Ye Tianhui disdains Gu Zhihan, Gu Zhihan has a desire to conquer Ye Tianhui, and that desire to conquer is hidden under disdain and contempt——
Ye Wenyin didn't dare to think about it too much.
She didn't like Gu Zhihan in her heart, but Gu Zhihan was so important to her that she couldn't throw away this piece of driftwood.
Just as Ye Wenyin was thinking about something complicated and subtle, several people came to the racecourse downstairs. Here, all the jockeys and riders were already in their positions. Everyone had a number plate on their chest, waiting silently for their turn.
Ye Tianhui followed Gu Zhihan and Ye Wenyin, scanning the thin bugs and soon found Lin Jianquan.
He was wearing a black riding suit with a narrow waist that looked as if it would break with the slightest force.
In the autumn sunshine, his face was pale, his lips were almost bloodless, and he stood among the bugs with his eyes drooping and expressionless, like a soul from another world.
As Ye Tianhui was watching, she suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze.
When she looked away, she saw Gu Zhihan, who was looking at her with an inquiring interest.
Seeing that she had discovered it, Gu Zhihan said with a smile: "Who is that to you?"
Ye Tianhui said in a voice without any emotion: "Friend."
Gu Zhihan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, are you from the mainland too?"
Ye Tianhui looked at the meaningful smile on Gu Zhihan's face, as if God was looking down at lower creatures, and she felt an impulse.
Now, right now, raise your fist and hit him hard, knocking his narrow, beautiful nose crooked.
However, she certainly understood that impulsiveness was a luxury for those in power, and a lack of patience would ruin great plans.
So she finally said, "No."
Gu Zhihan narrowed his eyes slightly. He caught the suppressed anger in her eyes, which made him even more interested: "Don't you think I'm pretty? Why are you looking at someone else now?"
Ye Tianhui was surprised and looked at him in disbelief: "Sir...what are you thinking about? Are you overthinking it?"
Why are rich people so self-righteous?
Gu Zhihan bent down, looked at her drooping eyelids, and asked with interest: "Why, you say one thing and mean another, don't you?"
As he said this, Ye Wenyin next to him suddenly said, "Oh..."
Gu Zhihan listened and looked over, only to see that Ye Wenyin's finger seemed to be scratched by something, and the skin on her fair little finger was slightly broken.
He hurried over: "What's wrong?"
Ye Wenyin bit her lip and shook her head a little aggrievedly: "Nothing, I just wanted to look at the saddle over here, but I accidentally bumped into it."
Gu Zhihan frowned: "What's wrong with this saddle? It's too rough and the design is unreasonable."
I immediately questioned the staff next to me.
Ye Wenyin said hurriedly: "It's my own fault. I was careless. I can't blame them."
Gu Zhihan listened and shook his head: "Wen Yin, you are just too soft-hearted. I think you are too indulgent towards the Filipino maid at home."
Ye Wenyin glanced at Ye Tianhui, who was looking down beside her, without leaving any trace, and then said softly to Gu Zhihan, "I just feel sorry for them..."
Gu Zhihan laughed: "You, you!"
Ye Wenyin: "Okay, enough talking, let's go over and see if the bugs I picked are good. They're also going to participate in the competition today."
Gu Zhihan: "Let's go and take a look."
The two of them went to the horse racing area, and Ye Tianhui lingered from behind. She naturally didn't want to follow behind them, so she took the opportunity to linger and slipped aside.
She quickly found Jessie in the crowd. Jessie had obviously seen what had just happened and asked, "What did they say to you?"
Ye Tianhui: "Nothing, they went to watch the game."
Jessie said, "It is said that besides Miss Ye, the Ye family's consultants are also here. They are all here to observe the performance of these bugs."
Ye Tianhui was curious: "They buy whatever they see that's suitable, right?"
Jessie nodded. "Yes, after the competition, the results of the bugs will be submitted to the major VIP members. At that time, those VIP members will bid on the bugs according to their preferences. After that, the bugs will have competitions every few days, and the results of each competition will be accumulated into their points. These performances and overall points will be presented to these VIP members in a timely manner, so that they can get a good price at the auction later."
When Chongzai enters the horse farm, they sign a long-term contract. The farm trains them at all costs without charging any fees. It also gives them a certain subsidy so that they can support their families. In return, the farm also buys out their contracts for the next ten, twenty years or even longer.
These contracts will naturally give the bugs some share of the competition, but it is definitely not in their favor, as there is serious exploitation. However, most of the bugs have little choice. After all, if it were not for the careful training of the horse farm, they would be destined to poverty and have no chance of success. It is the horse farm that gives them a way to struggle.
Jessie said, "Hong Kong's most famous jockey right now is Ke Zhiming. He was born a cyborg. Although he also sold his body to the horse farm, he's now famous and his family lives in a mansion. I heard the horse farm even gave him some shares. In short, he's changed his life."
Ye Tianhui recalled the scene when everyone was crowded in front of the TV in front of the old house they rented. Obviously, the figure galloping on the racetrack was a legend and a dream for the poor boy.
Children living in slums can open their bright eyes wide, sparkling with desire, hoping to become someone like Ke Zhiming, and change their own lives and the fate of their families through hard work.
As we were talking, we saw the horse races had already begun. They were divided into groups by lottery, with ten riders in each group. Most of them were young, regular local jockeys, but there were also some young jockeys. These jockeys would give the young jockeys some weight allowances based on their racing experience.
Jessie lowered her voice and said, "Come on, let's go over there. I know the manager of the stable over there. When they go around the east track, we can see them up close."
Ye Tianhui naturally thought it was a good idea, so she followed Jessie and slipped into the crowd unnoticed. Soon they arrived at the east side of the track. The mountain road here was a bit rugged, but there was a grove of redbud trees and a stable not far away, so she could watch the race from here. The view was very good!
Ye Tianhui: "Our seat is so good, it must be a VIP seat at least!"
Jessie listened and said, "It's very high here, not low."
Ye Tianhui laughed out loud.
Jessie was at a loss: “What’s wrong, is it low?”
Ye Tianhui: "Not low, the terrain here is very high, it looks particularly good!"
Jessie still didn't understand, so Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Let's go, let's watch the game!"
Jessie nodded, then fished out two sugar cubes from her pocket: "Here, one for each of us."
Ye Tianhui looked at it and knew that this was what he had fed the horse before. She thought that he was really obsessed with it, so she took it and ate it. It tasted quite sweet.
While eating candy and watching the competition, it can be seen that after rounds of elimination, those bug boys are very talented and can be said to be natural riders. After only a short period of special training, they have already become quite good.
Even when regular jockeys gave up weight, there were actually some bug jockeys who were able to beat regular jockeys, and one bug jockey even won first place in the group stage with a half-head advantage.
Jessie was fascinated by the scene, occasionally cheering. He said to Ye Tianhui excitedly, "Look at that bug boy. His name is Chen Zongwan. He's also a bug boy. He's been doing it for several years and he's very good. Look, he won the group stage this time. VIP members will start asking about him soon. I guess his value will go up."
Ye Tianhui: "Aside from points, what other benefits can there be from winning this kind of competition?"
Jessie: "It's mainly about extra points. The more points you have, the higher your value is, and the higher your value is, the higher your share of the profits you'll get in the future. Besides that, the racecourse will also give out rewards. If you get first place in the overall score among the bugs, maybe you can get a reward of 500 Hong Kong dollars? I remember hearing them mention it, it was 500 Hong Kong dollars."
Ye Tianhui: "500 Hong Kong dollars if I win? That's not a small amount."
Jessie nodded. "Yes, that's a quarter of our wages. So even though these bug guys have a hard time, they keep coming back because they want to make money!"
Ye Tianhui: "Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best."
Jessie: "That's right. We work as assistants in the stables. It's hard to make a living in this world. We can only get a monthly salary."
As they were talking, they saw another match starting over there. Jessie peeked in and got a bit excited. "I looked at the schedule, and this time Lin Jianquan is on the team. I wonder how he'll perform? This is his first internal competition, right?"
Ye Tianhui also looked over, but because the distance was too far, she couldn't see the situation over there clearly. She could only see that behind the gate, there were racehorses ready to go. As for the riders, they all wore helmets and goggles, and their bodies were wrapped in black riding clothes.
At this moment, there was a gunshot, the gate opened, the race began, and the horse shot out from behind the gate!
Jessie whispered, "It's started!"
Ye Tianhui looked over and saw that the rider who took the lead at the moment the gate opened was rider number six. She vaguely remembered that Lin Jianquan was rider number twelve.
Jessie said, "He's a legitimate jockey. He usually has a 10% win rate. Lin Jianquan is at a real disadvantage against him!"
But this is a matter of luck, as it was drawn by lottery.
Ye Tianhui narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the scene in the distance. The racehorses were running like lightning, their hooves flying violently, and they had already shot far away.
Ye Tianhui finally caught rider number 12, who is currently in third place.
A position with some advantage, but he is on the outside circle.
In a race this intense where victory can be lost by just half a head, the difference between the inner and outer circles is naturally huge.
If you occupy the outer circle, you will have to run a longer distance than the horses in the inner circle, which is naturally a big disadvantage. However, compared to the inner circle, the advantage of the outer circle is that you will not be blocked when turning.
Because racehorses are huge beasts weighing thousands of pounds and carrying hundreds of pounds of weight on their backs, turning requires a certain amount of space, and running in the inner circle requires higher levels of driving skills and judgment.
Jessie muttered softly, "This is a bit of a disadvantage. I already bet on him, and I bet fifty Hong Kong dollars!"
Ye Tianhui raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jessie: "Fifty Hong Kong dollars, you are really willing to spend it."
This was naturally a small bet among internal employees. Fifty Hong Kong dollars was already a lot, after all, he probably only made more than two thousand Hong Kong dollars a month.
Jessie: "I bet Lin Jianquan is the best!"
Ye Tianhui sighed: "The road ahead is long and arduous. We have only been training for a short time. I hope he can take the path more steadily and not rush too much."
If you are too impatient to achieve success, you may end up with half the effort and twice the results, and end up making things worse.
Jessie looked at Ye Tianhui blankly. He obviously didn't understand what Ye Tianhui was talking about.
Ye Tianhui looked at the field and suddenly said, "Look, Lin Jianquan is going to the inner circle!"
Jessie looked over and saw that it was indeed the case!
He called out, "Inner circle, go to the inner circle!"
However, Ye Tianhui was not optimistic.
Walking in the inner circle requires superb riding skills, and fighting from the outer circle to the inner circle requires excellent judgment. In a split second, one must accurately judge the subtle information in the position of the horse in front, and rely on intuition to analyze whether the gap in front can accommodate him and his horse to pass.
This is not the time to leisurely measure dimensions: the acceleration ability of the horse in front, the size of the fleeting gap, and whether your horse can pass through the gap perfectly and accurately to reach the inner circle. This is something a mathematician needs to write a formula on a piece of paper to calculate, but for a rider, it is just an intuitive judgment that does not require thinking.
In fact, from the time Lin Jianquan expressed his intention to squeeze into the inner circle to the time Jessie shouted this sentence, it took less than half a second.
Ye Tianhui held her breath and stared at the situation on the field. She saw a horse in front of her on the left suddenly turn into the inner circle, blocking Lin Jianquan's way!
Jessie obviously realized it too, he opened his eyes wide and could hardly make a sound!
If they collided, the consequences would be disastrous! Either they would be disqualified from the competition or seriously injured!
Everything happened in an instant, like a flash of lightning across the sky, so fast that no one could react or think.
Ye Tianhui saw that Lin Jianquan's horse leaped forward and just stepped over the racehorse that turned into the inner circle, and rushed into the inner circle nimbly and swiftly.
The violently shaking horse's tail just happened to sweep the head of the horse that was rushing towards it!
It was just a gap of a few tenths of a second, and as they passed each other, Lin Jianquan succeeded and successfully rushed in front of the horse.
Jessie breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my God, my heart is beating out of my chest!"
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Ye Tianhui beside him, only to find that her expression was calm to the point of being cruel, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes, as if the scene before her had no effect on her at all.
He was a little surprised: "Don't you care about this? I thought you were worried about Lin Jianquan."
Although they had only been together for a short time, he could feel that Ye Tianhui still cared about Lin Jianquan.
Ye Tianhui's gaze had been following Lin Jianquan's figure. When she heard this, she whispered, "I care."
But the more you care, the more you need to stay extra calm. This is almost an inertia engraved in your bones and blood.
Jessie became increasingly confused, but his attention quickly returned to the game.
At this time, Lin Jianquan had successfully surpassed the second place by taking advantage of the inner circle and replaced him to become the second place. He is now only half a horse length away from the first place rider No. 6.
Jessie clenched her fists excitedly: "Come on, come on!!"
At this time, the galloping horses were about to run to the outside of the stable where they were. He didn't dare to shout loudly, and could only roar in a low voice to cheer them on. He was so excited that his face turned red and his eyes were shining.
However, Ye Tianhui felt something was wrong.
Although she hasn't seen much horse racing, she has extensive riding experience.
At this time, Lin Jianquan was between the first and third place horses. In front of him in the inner circle was the first place number six, and behind him in the outer circle was the third place number eleven, which meant that he was now surrounded in the middle. If he did not seize the opportunity to break through the first place number six as soon as possible, and the number eleven behind him suddenly started to overtake, he would most likely be sandwiched between the two horses, resulting in a collision between the horses, which would affect his speed and waste excellent sprint time.
Whether it is the number six in front of him or the number eleven behind him, they are obviously jockeys with rich experience. They understand the tricks and methods on the track far better than Lin Jianquan!
She frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on the horses, watching them galloping in the air on their backs, watching them rushing down the runway like meteors with tremendous power, and about to pass by the stable where they were.
At this moment, suddenly, Ye Tianhui saw that rider number three actually circled and stretched out his legs.
Jessie was surprised: "What is he going to do!"
Ye Tianhui had already rushed out like an arrow.
Jessie opened her mouth in amazement and wanted to stop him but it was too late.
The moment Ye Tianhui rushed out, she saw jockey number 11 kicking Lin Jianquan's horse with his leg.
The horse was galloping, and when he kicked with all his strength, he was obviously also affected. However, he cleverly used the force of the kick to spur the horse into a gallop and rush forward.
Lin Jianquan's horse was sprinting at full speed. A horse that is galloping at such a distance is defenseless and extremely sensitive. The horse was instantly enraged by this attack and rushed around wildly.
This is obviously extremely dangerous!
In front of this horse is horse number six. It rushes towards horse number six in a rage. Not to mention the impact it has on horse number six, as for itself, its front hooves step on the hind legs of the horse in front of it or its head hits the butt of the horse in front of it. No matter what happens, the final result is that its speed suddenly stops.
That sudden stop might be nothing for the horse, but for Lin Jianquan who was riding on the horse, he did not have any other safety measures. He only relied on his toes on the stirrups to gain strength while galloping at such a high speed.
Once this delicate and difficult balance is broken, he will be launched out in an instant and become a human sandbag!
But this is not some other place, this is the horse racing track, where horses weighing a thousand pounds will trample across the track with their iron hooves carrying a tremendous force.
Ye Tianhui leaped onto the runway.
It was obvious that Rider No. 11 did it on purpose. He clearly wanted to kill Lin Jianquan!
At this time, many people in the stands noticed the drastic changes here and opened their eyes wide.
Because rider No. 11 stretched out his other leg, no one saw his cheating move. Everyone only saw that Lin Jianquan's horse was suddenly frightened, became violent and agitated, and seemed to have lost control.
Lin Jianquan, who was on the horse, had turned his thin body into a bow with the rhythm of the galloping horse. His waist was hanging on the saddle bone, and his body was leaning forward so that his face was almost touching the horse's mane. In the violent and intense swinging of the racehorse, he struggled to control his balance and tried his best to nail himself to the stirrups.
This is obviously like walking on the edge of a knife in a sea of fire!
There were screams from the crowd, and the horse trainer growled. The field suddenly became chaotic with screams, calls, whistles, and scolding. More people held their breath and stared at the situation on the field.
A vague thought arose in everyone's mind: it's over, this bug is finished.
In this galloping collision, he will be thrown out by the angry racehorse, and he will do a somersault when he is out of the saddle, and then be shot out at a speed of more than 18 meters per second.
Afterwards, he might fall or bump into something, but no matter what it was, he would be seriously injured in the violent impact.
Next, he will be trampled by his own horse or other people's horses.
Every iron hoof will be a force as strong as a mountain to him.
The most terrifying thing is that the failure of a horse will cause a chain reaction, and the subsequent scene will be a disaster!
In this moment, when the brain has almost no time to think, experienced audiences have already foreseen the unbearable scene that will follow.
Grief and despair quickly surged through the body along with adrenaline.
Ye Wenyin stared at all this, pursed her lips, and a cruel coldness appeared in her eyes.
But at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared. Everyone saw a slender light blue figure running quickly towards the racecourse. The speed was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Everyone was shocked and could hardly believe it. Who was this person? How could someone suddenly appear here!
Are you trying to kill yourself?
Excitement instantly flashed in Ye Wenyin's eyes. This was Ye Tianhui. She knew, this was Ye Tianhui!
This is an unexpected turn of events!
Gu Zhihan recognized her almost immediately at first sight. This was the northern girl!
His pupils contracted as he looked at her incomprehensibly. Stupid, idiot indeed! What a stupid idiot! Isn't she afraid of death?!
But the next scene made him unable to believe his eyes.
Just as the aggressively galloping racehorse passed by her, the light blue figure took advantage of the situation, leaped up, and jumped onto the horse's back almost as if flying.
The smooth and freehand posture is like a blue cloud!
There were exclamations from the crowd, and some even raised their cameras.
But everything happened in an instant, a time that could hardly be measured with a stopwatch, and a speed that could not be captured by a camera.
Gu Zhihan stared at the scene in a daze. He felt his heart beating wildly and his blood rushing through his body. How could there be such a girl in the world who could do such a thing!
Is she human?
At this time, Ye Tianhui certainly knew that all this was very dangerous.
Lin Jianquan's horse was in a rage. With horse number 11 in front of it and no way to go, and horse number 6 behind it and no way to stop, she, Ye Tianhui, was so small between these two horses galloping at full speed, just like the antennae of an ant facing the power of an elephant.
A galloping horse weighing over a thousand pounds is an unimaginably powerful force. In the face of such a huge momentum, the flow of air, the change of the saddle, and the position of the hurdles are all immeasurable dangers.
However, Ye Tianhui also knew that if she did not take action, Lin Jianquan would be crippled if not dead.
Desires should be satisfied, dreams should be cherished, a troubled child needs the opportunity to struggle, and a weak eagle needs to fly freely in the sky without any restraint!
He shouldn't have had his wings clipped so early.
Besides, there is a possibility that I will be implicated by her.
She rushed onto the horse's back, wrapped her arms around Lin Jianquan's thin and tense body from behind, and used her toes to hook his stiff feet out of the stirrups.
At this time, Lin Jianquan was obviously completely strangled by fear. No matter how talented he was or how much experience he had, he was just a teenager and a novice who had only been on horseback for a week.
Ye Tianhui hugged his stiff body, then held his hand and loosened the reins. In that instant, the fragile support of the two people on the galloping horses was instantly broken, and they were thrown out at a rapid speed.
All of this may seem complicated, but in fact all the actions are completed quickly within one ten-thousandth of a second.
In the distant stands, what people saw with their naked eyes was just a blue figure running onto the galloping horse with a graceful and swift posture, and then with a slight pause on the horse's back, it was thrown out with the rider on it.
People held their breath and watched the scene with accelerated heartbeats. They saw the light blue figure wrapping around the rider in black tights, and saw them merge into one, sliding off the horse's back with the inertia of the galloping horse, and then flying out from the side at an incredible angle.
Next, with a big somersault in the air and a roll down the mountain path, most of the huge momentum was dissipated, and finally the two figures fell heavily on the lawn next to them.
As they landed, horse number 11 collided with horse number 8, which had no rider, and the stirrups of horse number 8 tripped over the stirrups of horse number 6. In this pause, the huge momentum of the fierce horses collided with each other, and the two riders were thrown out like rags. Then other horses followed, and the scene was in chaos.
A horse trainer rushed to the scene to try to save the situation, an ambulance was ready, and the crowd screamed...
Ye Wenyin's eyes were fixed on the light blue figure. She saw someone rushing over to rescue them, and saw that they seemed to be no longer moving.
Her face was pale and her lips trembled.
So, what happened?
Is he dead...
At this moment, Gu Zhihan beside him yelled, "Ambulance! Hurry up and save her! Hurry up and save her!"
Ye Wenyin looked at Gu Zhihan blankly, but saw that Gu Zhihan had already rushed towards the track.
She stared at it blankly, unable to understand for a moment.
What happened to Gu Zhihan?
