Baichuntai was first famous for its horse people. The style of riding and shooting prevailed among the princes and nobles in Qingyun County. This elegant and noble custom has been passed down for many years. During the three-year war in the Lihua period, tens of thousands of fine-bred Qingyun white horses galloped along the battlefield with the soldiers in the battle. The fortifications of the Great Wall are calling for all surviving horses, whether they are fine horses or sick horses, to follow the flow of people going north to build the city.The never-before-seen shortage of horses and the strict prohibition of raising horses for private use have made the custom of riding and shooting of princes and aristocrats almost like cooking without rice. The owner, Heng Mingjun, was an exception. The three hundred guests in the hall knew that the owner had an extraordinary love for riding and archery. In their keen eyes, his lost buttocks are more haggard than his face. The doormen are used to solving problems for their masters. Regarding the substitutes of horses, they work together, and their enthusiasm for creation and thinking spreads like a tide in Baichuntai. Invention came into being.

So the ancient book of riding and shooting opened the most magnificent chapter in history.Baichuntai's pioneering work of using people as horses is refreshing. Not only in Qingyun County, but also princes and nobles in seven counties and eighteen counties have followed suit. People included in the list exempt from corvee.When the news spread, young men from all over the city and country began to compete for a new profession, setting off a frenzy of running with heavy loads. They ran carrying stones on the mountains, and they carried logs in the woods. Running, they run with their old and useless grandparents on their backs at the door of the house, they practice the horse's steps, the horse's breath, and even the horse's neighing sound, run like a horse, and even run faster than a horse.Going to Baichun Terrace in Qingyun County, going to Helan Terrace and Fangcao Terrace in the north, and going to Yongjin Terrace in the south, to be the horsemen of the four princes, has become the dream of all young men.

The new fashion of riding and shooting has swept the aristocratic circles everywhere, and it is becoming more and more fierce. However, the development of new things will encounter some obstacles. The hilly area migrated to the high mountains, the birds disappeared, and the riding and archery game soon fell into a new predicament. The riders had no merit in shooting the moon, and the horsemen had no speed to chase the wind. The prey disappeared, and they had to return empty-handed. The owner, Heng Mingjun, was frowning, and the three hundred guests of Baichun Terrace set off a new wave of exploration and invention.A doorman named Gongsun Qin found a skinny boy in Lancao Jianren City one day. He was running under a tree, and the child on the tree shot him with grass spears, and the grass spears flying around made the boy jump and run. Get up and run like a deer!The talented Gongsun Qin's eyes lit up, and he bought the boy.On the way to Baichun Terrace, the boy followed Gongsun Qin, he timidly inquired about his future, my lord, will you buy me to be a horseman?Would you like to ride on me?Gongsun Qin said bluntly, boy, your dick hair hasn't grown yet, how can you be a horseman?You are not a horse man, but a deer man!

Most of the deer people are boys who have not reached the weak crown. As substitutes for wild deer and gazelle, their treatment is different from that of horse people. It is not easy to compare.When Gongsun Qin selects the deer, the first choice is their legs. The quality of the legs is based on the deer legs, and the second is their jumping height and endurance. As a result, those children with long and thin legs are favored.Since a large number of homeless children gather in the northern part of Qingyun County, especially in Lancao Jianren City, it is convenient for Gongsun Qin's deerman plan. Abandoning the imitation of horses, and putting aside the ideal of being a horse person, Gongsun Qin's slogan for the deer people is: the career of the horse people starts with the deer people!The boys were persuaded and willingly changed to deer jumping.They did not disappoint Gongsun Qin. Their age of eight or nine, dexterous bones and natural jumping ability made their imitation of the deer seamless. Compared with the young men's horse running, the deer jump of the little boys is undoubtedly better and more realistic. One day, Gongsun Qin pointed to the woods on the other side of the river on the high platform and showed the deer shadows there. No one found that the deer shadows in the woods were actually human figures. Notify Mr. Heng Ming!

The benefits of using the deer men were soon revealed. They come when they are called, they can jump when they come, and the hunting location and time can be completely controlled. , just to eat, not to enjoy the salary of the diners, and will not increase the expenses on the stage. Once the deer system came out, it caused a new wave of imitation in various places. , they combined their master's hobbies and geographical environment to create more complex and peculiar hunting chapters. Among them, the most talked about is the wild boar man raised by the master of Helantai, Yang Taijun. Yang Taijun loves hunting wild boars. There are a lot of people who are as fat as pigs and eat a lot, and Helantai's method of training wild boars is also unique. People say that those wild boars only do two things every day, one is to eat, and the other is to practice rolling on the hillside. Poe, the disciples of Baichuntai talked sarcastically about the rolling slope training of the wild boars in Helantai. They said that Yang Taijun was old and his eyesight was failing. It's just a rolling wild boar.
