(035), inferiority

"Senior Brother Song—"

On the string, Xing Feng opened his mouth and said three words to Song De, and there were no other words, but they contained several feelings.

Song De looked at Xing Feng, he didn't say a word, just nodded calmly to Xing Feng.

Xingfeng took a deep breath, and then he was like an old monk in a trance, and for a long time there was no longer the slightest sign of breathing—not that he was really not breathing, but at that moment, his breathing became slight and even—his fingers clasped the bowstring and slowly pulled it apart, and the bow arm began to make a slight 'gege' sound. But his shoulders and arms didn't swing with force, they were still as smooth as stones.

At this time, the python that had climbed to Song De's shoulder, I don't know if the snake head suddenly lost its attachment point on Song De's shoulder, looking for directions, or because of a trace of natural spirituality in the wild nature of an animal and noticed that there was a dangerous aura around it, it suddenly stood up the snake head from Song De's shoulder, spitting out a letter as if to search for something in the air.

Xing Feng seemed to have pinched this rare opportunity, and at this time, in the midst of everyone's bated gaze, the moment the python raised its head, the hand holding the feather arrow and slowly pulling the bowstring suddenly froze, and then let go and left the string.

The arrow on the string flew towards the long python on a straight trajectory, and Xingfeng's eyes were still locked on the python, and the hand that had just left the string reached to the side, and had accurately grasped the tail of the feathered arrow, pulled it from the ground, and put it on the bowstring again. It only took him two breaths for this continuous action, and he was ready to release the arrow for the second time.

The first arrow, as everyone expected, was seven inches long in the middle. The long python's life gate was hit hard, although it did not die immediately, but the python body that wrapped Song De's body three times was instantly relaxed, like a cable wrapped around the pile, and after being cut off, the rings faded from the pile one by one.

However, the python did not die, several months of hibernation made its aggression several times overpowered, at this time it was hit hard, almost fully awakened under the severe pain, and the first reaction was to fight back and hunt the prey that invaded it. At this time, Song De, who was still beside the long python, hurriedly ran away from the predicament, such an object that exuded heat and was moving rapidly was undoubtedly the prey that the long python wanted most when he woke up from hibernation.

I saw that the long python twisted its body on the ground a few times, and then there were signs of pounce on Song De again. It's just that when it was about to launch a second attack, it didn't expect that a cold feathered arrow was also aimed at it, ready to launch a second shot.

"Whoosh-"

When the long python will crawl on the ground and twist its head will be raised, at the critical moment when Song De is about to be attacked by the long python for the second time, a feathered arrow flew like a lightning speed, piercing the snake head that was slightly shrunk and was about to attack suddenly!

The feather arrow strung the snake's head, shaking the long python out of the way by several feet, so that the python could not get up again for the time being. At this time, Song De was finally completely out of danger. The students who had been silent around immediately burst into amazement, and at the same time, several students who had a good relationship with Song De on weekdays gathered around Song De, with constant voices of concern and comfort, and of course, praise for admiring Song De's unruly situation.

As the hero of this python shooting, Xing Feng did not rush to celebrate. Although the sharpness in his eyes had faded a lot at this time, his face was still solemn.

After a slight evening out, Xingfeng took two feather arrows from the arrow box on the ground beside him. One arrow was stuck diagonally in the girdle of his waist, and the other was somewhat loosely resting on the bowstring, and then he slowly approached the long python whose head had been shot through the snake's head but whose body was still wriggling.

His movements this time were not as swift as just now, but a little sluggish, but as long as someone with a martial arts foundation could see that his shoulders had been subconsciously tense.

Glancing at the long python, the hand holding the arrow and string in Xingfeng's hand suddenly tensed hard, and shot through the seven inches of the long python at close range. The python, which may still be holding up a breath to launch a dying onslaught, finally died ninety percent and completely lost its danger.

It was only at this point that Xing Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hand holding the bow slowly drooped, and was still trembling slightly. The high concentration and mental tension made his brain go blank for a moment when he relaxed instantly. He didn't think about it flawlessly, and he didn't pay attention to it, among the students who surrounded Song De, one of the students who looked at him had a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, and whispered to Song De: "It is worthy of being the son of Orion, he can kill them all, and he is not afraid of blood!" ”

Hearing this, Song De just said gently and calmly: "This time, thanks to Senior Brother Xing's action, I escaped. I didn't expect such a good player to come to the kindergarten this year, which is exciting. ”

He stopped looking at the face of the person who had just mocked Xingfeng, and walked straight towards Xingfeng.

"Senior Brother Xing, thank you so much just now." Song De, who approached Xingfeng, gave him a grateful look.

Xing Feng heard Song De's voice, and all his attention was taken away from the blue-spotted python. He was slightly stunned and then hurriedly returned the salute, and said with some embarrassment: "I am already very happy to be able to help Senior Brother Song." I was scared just now, and I really didn't want to go. ”

Song De smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't be like this, how can you not take some risks if you want to escape from the python's mouth?" However, the shocking arrows of the junior brother just now really filled my eyes, and the fear in my heart just now suddenly dissipated. ”

Song De's words always carried a touch of praise, which made Xing Feng subconsciously feel extremely flattered, but the words in his stomach were limited, and he didn't know how to be humble next. And Song De naturally removed the word 'punishment' in front of 'Senior Brother Xing', which made Xing Feng, the rescuer, feel a little grateful to the rescued person.

The ultimate in gratitude is to be grateful even if someone accepts your help. If a person with this kind of gratitude is not a true saint, he is very inferior in his heart, so inferior that he doesn't even know that he feels unworthy of helping others!

Just when Xing Feng was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, Lin Shan walked over. Seeing that Song De's attention had finally been taken away from him, Xing Feng couldn't help but feel a little lighter, and saluted Lin Shan with Song De.

Lin Shan nodded, first looked Song De up and down, and said gently: "You just escaped from danger, do you feel any discomfort now?" ”

Song De replied respectfully: "The student is fine, thank you Mr. for your concern, this time thanks to Senior Brother Xing's rescue." ”

As for Song De's words of thanking Xing Feng in front of him, he also witnessed the process of this incident. According to common sense, Song De would bring up this matter again because he was sincerely grateful to Xing Feng, but Lin Shan didn't have much more.

Lin Shan only turned his eyes to Xing Feng after smiling at Song De slightly, and also looked him up and down, and then smiled gradually, and said lightly: "Are you busy studying, and you haven't played the strings for a long time?" ”

Xing Feng hurriedly responded: "I haven't practiced much since I entered the school, it's because I'm lazy." ”

Lin Shan said solemnly: "I don't want to blame you for neglecting to practice archery, but for forgetting common sense." I haven't pulled the strings for a long time, and today I shot three arrows in a row, and my hands began to tremble, don't you know that I knead and relax the meridians of my arms? ”

Lin Shan's seemingly reproachful words actually contain real concern and attention.

The limbs of the body are suddenly exerted, and ordinary people can easily bruise their muscles and bones because of this. Even for those who practice martial arts, the seemingly sharp movements are actually assisted steps to keep them smooth and steady. And these common senses, if not all the criminal styles that have practiced archery, at least know the common sense of self-protection in archery practice. It's just that he forgot about it for a while because of the trivial things he just noticed.

At this time, after Lin Shan's mention, Xing Feng suddenly realized his omission. He didn't say much, and hurriedly used the left hand he used to hold the bow just now to knead the right arm that had just pulled the bowstring and was trembling uncontrollably at this time. At this time, as soon as his right arm was arched, he felt that his right hand was not only a little out of strength, but also a slight numbness, which was indeed due to the muscle fatigue caused by excessive force when pulling the string just now.

And Lin Shan had already turned his eyes to look at Song De and said, "In the wilderness of this place, we don't have tools to help explore whether this snake cave is a conjoined hole, but this is not a residential area, so there is no need to drive away snakes." You go and tell the students not to do anything, lest they may alarm the snakes. Let the students cover the mouth of the snake cave with a stone first, and mark the surrounding area, it is still the season of snake hibernation, and it will be okay if no one makes a big move. ”

Song De took the order to leave, and Lin Shan looked at him and walked away, and then walked up to the long python that was almost dead, but still nervously convulsed. After a little groaning, he slowly rolled up his sleeves, then pulled out a stack of white silk from the cuffs and put it on his hand, and then went to grasp the python's tail.

At this time, the dean of the academy happened to come over. Although he was the head of the academy and had experienced many ups and downs in the life of the academy, he rarely saw such a bloody scene directly, so when he saw Lin Shan going to hold the snake tail, he subconsciously wanted to dissuade him.

I heard the dean standing outside Zhangyu Kai and shouting, "Muwen, do you want to find a student to help?" ”

Lin Shan had already held the reckless tail through the white silk, and when he heard this, he smiled at the dean and said, "Don't call them, so as not to scare them." ”

Xing Feng, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation between Lin Shan and the dean and came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran to Lin Shan's side and said, "Sir, let me do this kind of rough work." ”

"Rough work?" Lin Shan meaningfully picked out these two words from Xingfeng's words, recited them emphatically, and then said with a flat expression: "Just find a place to throw this python, it's not a heavy burden, there is not much to go, so there is no need to rush to do such a trivial matter." ”

"Oh." Xing Feng felt the strange aura in Lin Shan's words, so he had to respond sullenly.

Just as he was stunned, he heard Lin Shan, who had already walked out of the country, turn around and shout at him: "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

As soon as Lin Shan's words came out, Xing Feng's heart couldn't help but feel a little tight, and he hurriedly trotted to keep up with Lin Shan's pace-

ps: The 'li' used here is a traditional distance measurement, not equal to kilometers, about 500 meters, in order to throw a snake corpse, you don't need to do a kilometer. The blue-spotted python is apocryphal, and if there is any similarity, I am wise.
