Hearing this, Lin Shan sighed lightly and said, "When he shot the python just now, he was too impatient, it seemed that he had injured his hand, and he had to rest a little." ”

Hearing this, the dean nodded silently and continued to watch the game without asking anything further.

This year's outing event kicked off everyone's excitement with the start of this special archery competition.

Because the goal of each team is only five lanterns, in order to ensure that the notes in the lanterns are not shot by arrows, Song De's team took the lead in quietly playing the edge ball. In the whole team, except for a few students who have some real kung fu in archery, the other students seem to be all making up the number. If they did not shoot the lantern with full confidence, they kept pretending to draw their bows and miss the arrows, preferring to shoot ten arrows in the air rather than one shot indiscriminately.

However, as the captain of the left team, Song De's strategy was quickly seen by the senior brothers of the right team's main academy, and they immediately learned to play this game. But the practical problem is becoming more and more obvious, the number of arrows brought by the academy is limited, and if you continue to toss like this, I am afraid that the arrows will not be able to shoot down all the lanterns after they are fired. So the two teams later suspended the event and negotiated, re-equalizing the number of arrows, and then the real battle of wits began.

The small archery competition, with only ten objectives in total, consumed a third of the time of the outing conference, but it consumed most of the students' minds, but they all felt that this mysterious activity was very enjoyable. The cordial cooperation and competition with the brothers and sisters made them quietly understand some things that they felt precious.

After the archery competition, the sky gradually began to darken, and the students spent another hour getting together to share the food they had prepared before the meeting. After a short break, and at the same time, I also exchanged and discussed the understanding in the event just now, and this year's outing conference is complete. Only then did everyone get up and pack their own baggage, and when the red sun on the horizon hid the stratus clouds, leaving only the glow to stain half of the sky, they began to form a team and return to the academy.

According to the pattern of the team when they came, the dean and several masters who held positions were still at the front of the line, with students in the middle and teachers in the back.

However, there are still some differences when you come back and when you leave. After returning to the county seat, the dean did not ask the students who lived in the county to return to the academy today, but after entering the county seat, he counted the number of people and led about half of the students who lived in the academy back to the college, and the other students could go home directly on their own.

So, except for the students who followed the dean back to the hospital, the other students all made an appointment together. As they walked towards their homes, they were still discussing the archery race with great interest.

Xingfeng didn't know where he went when the dean announced the disbandment of the team. He is no longer a child, so he naturally does not have to worry about safety. It's just that Mo Ye had something in her heart, and when she didn't find the punishment wind, and saw Lin Shan approaching, her face naturally sank a little. After walking more than ten zhang away with Lin Shan, and some distance from the students of the academy, she looked at Lin Shan, and asked in a somewhat depressed tone: "Master, why did you call Xingfeng to retire just now?" ”

"I told him that his arm muscles are already a little overtired, and he should rest at the right time, what do you think is wrong with that?" Lin Shan did not directly answer Mo Ye's question, and he also asked Mo Ye a question in turn. But in the first half of this question, the answer to Mo Ye has been hidden, but the last sentence is a little imposing.

Mo Ye was stunned by the excitement, and immediately settled his mind and insisted on his thoughts: "Just now it was a great opportunity, and Xingfeng can almost use this to make a name for himself. ”

"You also know how to use 'almost' instead of 'definitely.'" Lin Shan's eyes did not smile slightly, and he continued: "The best opportunity to make Xingfeng famous, I have already given Xingfeng the best opportunity. ”

"Why?"

Before Lin Shan's words were finished, Mo Ye quickly asked these three words. There were several confusions in her heart, which were entangled because of Lin Shan's words. This 'why' is simply a question of things, not of people.

"The matter of shooting pythons, because I have seen the results of the punishment wind and arrow practice, I have eighty percent confidence in whether he can succeed, so I will just now, the reason is obviously a bit far-fetched, but I still pushed him to add fuel to the fire."

"The way he shot a python was different in nature from the purpose of archery in an archery competition. If the python shooting fails, I can help him send another arrow to compensate, Song De is still fine, and the punishment of failure will only be regarded by the brothers and sisters as saving people's hearts and missed, and they will not be too blamed; If it succeeds, it will be a slap in the face to the real strength among the students. ”

"The reason why a group of people can get together and not disperse always needs a central person. If he is allowed to leave some weight in the hearts of such central figures, it is equivalent to letting him leave weight in the hearts of others, so as to establish his own prestige in the crowd. ”

Lin Shan patiently spoke three paragraphs in a slow and clear tone, with a slight pause between each paragraph to emphasize, analyzing Mo Ye's best chance to give the punishment wind.

Mo Ye finally understood that the master was indeed helping Xing Feng with his heart. The confusion in her heart was solved, her mood was a lot lighter, and she hurriedly smiled at Lin Shan: "Master, Ye'er shouldn't have doubted you so much just now, I apologize to you." ”

"You little guy, where did you learn to change your face so quickly?" Lin Shan finally relaxed and solemnized, and couldn't help but smile, but there was a lot of helplessness in his smile. At the end, he sighed lightly: "Could it be that the master used to discipline you too much, and now the image of the wicked person has taken root in your heart?" ”

To Lin Shan's loving blame and self-deprecating sarcasm, Mo Ye could only smile with embarrassed teeth, and then quickly changed the topic: "Master, why do you think that the archery competition is not the best opportunity for the penal style to make a name for yourself?" Aren't they all the same archery, don't they all reflect the superiority of the penal style in archery? ”

"Going around and back." Lin Shan seems to have lost patience with Mo Ye's question. He didn't answer directly, but took Mo Ye to the pavilion. got into Ma An's carriage, and after the carriage left the county seat, he answered this question to Mo Ye in the carriage.

"The archery race is actually full of utilitarian meaning."

Under Mo Ye's serious gaze, Lin Shan said calmly: "The students of the academy and the main department have chosen the direction of their future in one direction. Therefore, including today's archery competition, the previous mystery events were specially arranged by me. In the academy, the students have gradually formed a faction, and in the officialdom, similar factions have always existed. At the beginning of the academy, the characters who have mastered the throat of this faction have formed this kind of ability and aura in their personalities, and most of them can be extended to the officialdom, and this is not an ability that can be supported by an arrow. ”

Lin Shan's words stopped here, and he pondered for a while before continuing: "People choose to live in groups, and the purpose of this group formation is sometimes to protect themselves, and sometimes to attack others. You must know that a group of people is not as simple as a ball of wet mud or a stone. The people in this group are inextricably linked to each other, and if you don't have the necessary purpose, or if you are very sure, don't try to rush into this group by yourself and stand out from the crowd. ”

Mo Ye was half-understood when he heard this, and asked in a daze: "What does this have to do with Xing Feng's non-participation in the archery competition?" ”

Lin Shan said slowly: "If Xing Feng participates in the competition, with his archery skills, he will inevitably fall into the suspicion of fighting for fame." He is a new student, and if he occupies all the limelight, I am afraid that not only will not many people obey him, but there will be people who will be jealous. Because some people will feel that the credit of the Xingfeng should be the deserved thing of the person they promoted, and the Xingfeng will act with his strength, and he will become a ruined person who has emerged in the middle of the road. Rather miss? Gentleman, don't be entangled by this kind of narrow-minded person who will be jealous because of his talent. ”

Lin Shan's analysis was a little indifferent, Mo Ye came to his senses and couldn't help but say two words: "Terrible." ”

Lin Shan smiled slightly and said, "If he competes but loses, I'm afraid the result will be even more terrible." So let's not rush to push him to a height that he can't get used to yet, and if he climbs in a hurry, he will fall hard. ”

Mo Ye nodded earnestly in agreement.

Lin Shan pondered for a while and said: "If it's good for him, it's better to worry less about this, the most important thing is to help him improve his homework level quickly, but it's ......"

Mo Ye's face was different when she saw Lin Shan's words here, and she hurriedly asked, "What is Master worried about?" ”

Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, but still told Mo Ye the truth about his evaluation of Xing Feng: "I don't think Xing Feng seems to have much talent in reading......

He didn't want to disappoint Mo Ye too much, because he knew that Xing Feng was the first friend Mo Ye had made and valued since he grew up alone, and Mo Ye was very much looking forward to learning and retreating with Xing Feng. So he didn't say anything, his tone was a little slow, and he immediately said: "This matter is not completely certain now, besides, talent is a very lucky thing, people can not always rely on external forces, and hard-working people can also achieve something." ”

Although Lin Shan's words were very tactful, Mo Ye also agreed with Master's point of view, but a trace of worry quietly rose in her heart.

After the official opening of the college, the penal style returned to kindergarten. In the past, when he was a young student, he was able to audit very few classes, but fewer classes also had the advantage of fewer classes, and the punishment style without class time could have more time to repeatedly practice the words he learned between classes. Now that he is back in kindergarten, he listens to a lot more lectures every day, but it is even more difficult to learn.

Mo Ye watched this scene from the sidelines, thinking of Master's judgment on the talent of the punishment style, and he was a little anxious.

She originally wanted to personally help Xing Feng answer her questions, but she didn't expect that this matter seemed to be taken care of by Senior Brother Song De, who was a young scholar. Mo Ye sometimes felt puzzled, the criminal style was no longer studying and listening to classes, how could Senior Brother Song still be so enthusiastic and selfless to help a junior with such poor qualifications? Could it be that his prejudice against Song De has really reached a pathological level, so he has never been able to agree with Song De's good intentions?
