Just after September, the weather gradually cooled down, especially after a rain the night before, and when I woke up the next day, the thin summer clothes were a little unbearable, and I needed to change into a slightly thicker autumn coat.

In such weather, riding and archery lessons for an hour or two outside are not so abhorrent. On the contrary, this season is a good time for autumn to be crisp, and the maple trees all over the mountain are also red, and it looks fiery red from a distance, and it is worthy of the name of Red Maple Academy. It is to go to the Red Maple Garden to play and hunt, only when riding and archery lessons here, it is also excellent to stand on the mountain and see the scenery.

Coincidentally, at the end of the month, there was a big exam in the academy, so on this day, whether it was cramming to practice riding archery temporarily, or simply to see the scenery, there were many more students who came to the riding and archery class than usual.

Wei Lai was very strict when he trained the black-armored cavalry in the army, but he was not strict with these students in the academy. She taught them if they wanted to come for riding and archery lessons, and they didn't want to come because of the hot weather, and she wouldn't deliberately embarrass or go to the mountain chief to talk too much. After all, for these literati, learning to ride and shoot is just the icing on the cake, and it is almost impossible to learn some good-looking fancy shelfs - the farthest arrow target in the academy assessment is only fifty steps, and Wei Lai can shoot it with his eyes closed.

Of course, for the arrow target fifty steps away, it was only Wei Lai who could shoot with his eyes closed. Many of her students had studied with her for months, but they couldn't even hit the target, but it was better to say that they couldn't reach the target, and there were even worse......

"Oops, I can't pull it away, sir, sir help me ......"

That's right, there are also those who have studied with her for a few months, but they can't even pull the bowstring!

Wei Lai was a little helpless, walked to the student who was still struggling with the bowstring, calmly raised his hand and took the bow and arrow from his hand, and then suggested very sincerely: "Zhang Qi, you better go and lift the stone lock first, practice for half an hour every day, don't be too big, start with the smallest." ”

The classes of Hongfeng Academy are not divided according to age, but are divided into four classes according to knowledge, and then teach according to their aptitude. So the ages of the students in each class are uneven, for example, Class A in today's riding and archery class, the oldest of them is older than Wei Laidu, just waiting for the next imperial examination, and the youngest is just over fourteen.

Zhang Qi is the youngest of that age.

At this moment, the fourteen-year-old boy heard Wei Lai's words, and when he looked at it with teary eyes, he was a little aggrieved: "Sir, I can't pull the bowstring, and I can't lift the stone lock......

Wei Lai held his forehead and reminded again: "The smallest stone lock weighs only ten catties. ”

Zhang Qi turned his head to look at the row of stone locks on the open ground outside the school grounds, the smallest one was actually not much bigger than the soup bowl, but he still remembered that he listened to Wei Lai's words half a year ago, and ran to lift the stone lock in a hurry - but after lifting it three or five times, he couldn't move a little, and the consequence of the strong support was that the stone lock got out of his hand and almost smashed his foot, and then he was laughed at by his classmates for a whole month!

Thinking of the embarrassment and shame at that time, Zhang Qi shook his head silently, not wanting to try again.

Wei Lai was not reluctant, only carrying a bow and arrow, he reminded faintly: "At the end of the month, there will be a big exam again." ”

Zhang Qi was about to cry when he heard this, he could already foresee that when the big exam at the end of the month, his "shot" would have to be followed by a big bad word. But he couldn't even pull the bow, even if Mr. Wei wanted his subordinates to be merciful, he couldn't find a chance to stay!

Leaving Zhang Qi, who was like a mourner, Wei Lai turned his head to look at the others again. The students in Class A are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they can read better books than the other, but as far as riding and archery is concerned, any one of the black-armored cavalry can throw them ten streets!

Standing aside and watching for a while, Wei Lai occasionally stepped forward to guide one or two, and just as he felt bored, someone came up and said, "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wei, we stand here like this every time we go to class and shoot the target, it's so boring." It's autumn, and the prey on the mountain is also fat, so why don't you take us out hunting, it's much more interesting to shoot than an arrow target. ”

Wei Lai was noncommittal for a while when he heard this, but he felt in his heart that these people were too ambitious, and they couldn't even shoot the target that was erected fifty steps away, but he wanted to shoot the living creature that could run and move and was extremely agile.

No matter how much Wei Lai disagreed in his heart, the other students next to him became excited one by one when they heard this, and even those students who stood far away to watch the scenery were gradually attracted to it. So one person's proposal gradually turned into a request from a group of people, and Wei Lai had no choice but to say: "If the mountain chief agrees, it's okay." ”

All of a sudden, everyone became excited, and even someone turned around and hurried towards the academy. Wei Lai and the others had only waited in the school yard for less than a quarter of an hour, and the gray-haired mountain chief followed the student to the school yard.

Wei Lai greeted him, and before he could speak, he heard the mountain chief say: "Little Wei, you want to take them hunting?" ”

Obviously, this group of students is making a fuss about going, so why did it become that I was going to take them to hunt? Wei Lai slandered, and in the eyes of the pleading crowd, he finally did not expose it, but said: "Wei Lai is ashamed of this long-distance trip to Laofu Mountain." As for hunting, they find it boring to shoot targets in the school yard, and shooting live animals is also good for them to practice archery, but they can't shoot well now, and I'm a little worried about their safety......"

The mountain chief smiled when he heard this, and he waved his hand to signal Wei Lai not to worry: "I see, but this little Wei doesn't have to worry, there will be people hunting on the mountain every autumn and winter, and I have never heard of wild beasts nearby." After speaking, he looked at the students in the school yard and said with a smile, "As long as they are not incompetent and can't ride horses well, there must be no danger." ”

Hearing this, some people sneered, some people blushed, but some people argued confidently: "Don't worry, mountain chief, since Mr. Xiao Wei came, our riding skills have not improved much." If you can't hide in the stirrups and stand up right away, how can you not ride a horse well! ”

As soon as these words fell, the surrounding students echoed each other, and even the students who were blushing and ashamed just now unconsciously straightened their chests.

Wei Lai couldn't laugh or cry, but the matter of hunting was just decided.

People who always return early every day, but this day is to return home with the sunset.

Wei Lai has always been a person with a strong sense of time, and if he has something to do, he will always return late, and he will always talk to his family in advance. So she didn't come back for a long time that day, He Zhi couldn't help but go to the door to see it several times, and Ah Zheng also hugged Wei Changan and followed her around - a few months have passed, and now this child has also learned a lot of words, although he still can't connect sentences, but he can already express the meaning simply, and he has also learned to instruct people.

A few people walked to the door, Wei Changan raised his little arm, stretched out a fleshy little finger and pointed out the door: "Go, go......"

The child has a big heart and is curious about everything, since He Zhi and Ah Zheng took her out to see the scenery once, he couldn't stay at home, and pointed out the door to let Ah Zheng carry him out at every opportunity. Of course, most of the time, he can't do it.

At this time, He Zhi hugged Wei Changan and coaxed softly: "Chang'an, if we don't go out today, we will wait here for Daddy to come back, okay?" ”

Wei Changan didn't know if he understood, but he stubbornly raised his hand and pointed out the door, and continued to shout eagerly: "Go, go......"

I wanted to coax a few more words, but at this moment, He Zhi heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near. So she looked up and saw Wei Lai riding back on her black steed.

"Why did you come back so late today?" He Zhi took a step forward with Wei Changan in her arms, and asked without waiting for Wei to dismount.

When Wei Lai came back on horseback, he saw He Zhi holding the child waiting for her at the door from a distance, and at that moment there was only warmth and stability in his heart. She jumped down with a smile, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Today, the students are clamoring to hunt, and the mountain chief agreed, so it was delayed for a while. Me, I didn't think it would be so late......"

He Zhi immediately glanced at Wei Lai's horse when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a string of pheasants and hares hanging behind the horse. So he didn't bother to complain about anything, but only advised: "Next time there is such a thing, remember to ask someone to come back and deliver a message." ”

Wei Lai nodded honestly, and didn't feel that He Zhi was too strict, she turned around with a smile and took a small bamboo basket from behind the saddle and handed it over: "Jin Rui, this is for you." ”

"What is it?" He Zhi handed Wei Changan to Ah Zheng to hold, and then took the bamboo basket with some curiosity. She thought it was Wei who caught a rabbit for her when she was hunting, but after opening the lid of the bamboo basket, although it was indeed a living thing, it was indeed a fluffy ball with white flowers, but it was not the rabbit He Zhi thought.

"Dog, dog, dog......" Wei Changan slapped the little meat, looked at the little thing that had just poked its head out of the bamboo basket with bright eyes, and then looked at it and wanted to reach out and grab it. He Zhi was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly took the bamboo basket away.

Wei Lai stretched out his hand to lift up the little thing in the bamboo basket, but it was a little wolf cub who had not yet been weaned, and he was still whimpering quietly. She hugged the little wolf and stroked it for a while, so even the whimper was quiet: "Jin Rui, it's okay, it's just a little wolf that hasn't been weaned yet." What I saw on the mountain when I was hunting today, the she-wolf seems to be gone, and she can't survive on the mountain, and the pure white wolf is rare, and it looks very beautiful, so I want to bring it back to you as a companion. ”

Indeed, this little wolf cub is very beautiful, the fluffy snow-white fur does not even have a trace of variegation, the eyes are beautiful sky blue, and when looking at people, it is not as fierce as a wild wolf, but it is somewhat innocent and simple.

Girls like this kind of fluffy little thing, and even Wei Lai couldn't help but like it a little when he saw it. So there is no doubt that He Zhi gladly accepted Wei Lai's gift after a little entanglement.

The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled gently, looking at the shallow smile on the corner of He Zhi's mouth, Wei Lai also had a feeling of contentment. 166 Reading Network
