Chapter 109: Showing Your Hand
"In this way, the news of the second son's return is true." Hua Shangxue couldn't help but say.
"Hmm." Uncle Qi Fei responded, "Now that Xiao Mu is sick, tomorrow's selection, alas, ......"
Another sigh, this Uncle Qi Fei sighed and sighed that he was addicted.
"What selection?"
"Archery."
"Ah, it's archery, that's Komaki's strength."
"Yes. If he hadn't fallen ill, he would have been the first in tomorrow's competition, which is a pity. ”
"It's a shame indeed. It's a pity that he couldn't participate because of an illness after practicing for so long. Hua Shangxue couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle, will Xiao Mu's illness get better tomorrow?" ”
"The fever is terrible, and according to my experience, even if the fever subsides, he will not have the physical strength to participate in the selection tomorrow. It's okay if it's the day after tomorrow, it's tomorrow...... It's a pity. Uncle Qi Fei looked pity.
"Tomorrow is only better than archery?" Hua Shangxue couldn't help asking.
"Hmm. Only archery, the day after tomorrow equestrian, the day after tomorrow is the competition. After the competition, it's time to announce the list. According to Komaki's situation, I'm afraid it's hopeless. ”
"If it's just archery, do you think I can do it for him?" Hua Shangxue thought about it, and always felt that it would be a pity if Xiao Mu was defeated because of this. His archery skills are so good, at least among so many newcomers, he deserves to be the first.
It's a pity that he lost the advantage of being good because of an illness.
"You?" Uncle Qi Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Shangxue, with a look that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. Obviously just looked down on her.
"Uncle, it's good that I and Xiao Mu are almost the same in shape, so let me play in his position, as long as I don't know people too well, I can't recognize him at all. You don't have to worry about getting a goof. ”
"Xiaoxue, let me ask you, what is tomorrow's comparison?"
"Archery, you just said it."
"You also said it was archery, not disguise, not a person. Just make a show. That's the real thing. As a ten-year-old girl, can you shoot arrows? I'll admit that you have a bit of strength, but archery is not just about strength, it's about skill and eyesight. Do you understand? ”
"Uncle. Do you think I'm such a brainless person? "The snow on the flower is white, and Uncle Qi Fei glanced at it." When did I say I couldn't shoot an arrow? Are you really a little brute force kid who has no ability, I just opened my mouth indiscriminately, and I want to be Xiao Mu's stand-in? If it weren't for the fact that I thought Komaki's archery skills were pretty good. It's a pity that I lost the opportunity because of an illness, so I won't mention it, and it's not because I'm full. ”
Uncle Qi Fei looked at Hua Shangxue with a suspicious expression, "Do you know how to shoot arrows?" Why haven't I seen you do it before? ”
Hua Shangxue couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said angrily: "Uncle, Uncle Qi Fei, don't you want to think about what my identity is now?" Even if I can go to you for a walk, but it's also a person from the kitchen, do you think the guard camp is a casual place, and outsiders like me can touch your swords and arrows at will? ”
Uncle Qi Fei was completely silent, and he really asked a pretty idiotic question.
But if it's really like what Hua Shangxue said, this method will work, but it's just ......
"Are you sure you can be a stand-in for Komaki? To know the way, it will be the same as mastering it. ”
"Nonsense, you think I'm like a fool, don't you even understand this truth?"
"Okay, since you say so, then follow me to the shooting range to show your hand, if you are qualified, I will let you take Xiao Mu's position and play for him. Don't worry, with me covering up, no one knows that you will be an impostor. Uncle Qi Fei smiled, if this thing really happens, it will be terrible. I can't say that when I want to find someone to make a cameo in the future, at least Hua Shangxue is a good candidate.
Of course, the premise is that she really has good archery skills, and as for the rest, he can teach it slowly. Anyway, this Yao Yuan's errand has always been idle. I went to the kitchen to find work, followed to the guard camp to find work, and I did it anyway, and it was no worse to go anywhere.
"You're not going to find a doctor for Komaki, it's not good to go to the shooting range." Hua Shangxue was a little speechless.
Uncle Qi Fei's attitude is really a bit unprofessional, some of his subordinates are sick, is it really okay for him to leave people like this and let her follow her to the shooting range?
"It's fine. People are not so fragile, it is good to burn, at least let him have a long memory, next time I see if he dares to mess around like this. Uncle Qi Fei said that he had already grabbed Hua Shangxue's arm, pulled it and walked towards the shooting range, as for Fu'er, of course she followed obediently, she didn't dare to stay alone in that dark alley.
Soon the three of them arrived at the shooting range, where there was no one, but the torches were still dyed, illuminating the surroundings.
Uncle Qi Fei quickly took the bow and arrows, the bow was a standard bow equipped by the army, and there were only three arrows, which were directly handed over to Hua Shangxue.
"It's up to you."
Hua Shangxue took the bow and arrow handed by Uncle Qi Fei and weighed it, it was quite heavy, but it felt good, heavier than the longbow used in the bandit's den, and the bow power was stronger.
Uncle Qi Fei pulled Fu'er aside and watched from a distance.
Although he brought Hua Shangxue over, saying that he wanted to try her archery skills, but after all, he didn't want to be injured by mistake because of this, so it was naturally safer to stay away.
Hua Shangxue put the arrow feather on the table next to him, and first drew the bow into a full moon shape to determine the specific bow strength of the bow before starting to determine the distance of the target.
Watching Hua Shangxue pull the bow away, Uncle Qi Fei was not surprised.
I already knew that the strength of the snow on the road was not small, and it was not an accident to be able to pull the bow like this.
It is one thing to draw the bow away, and it is another thing to shoot an arrow, one relies on strength, and the other relies on eyesight and skill.
In archery, strength is important, but so is eyesight and skill.
It's useless to just open the bow and shoot inaccurately, but with vision and skill, you can't even pull the bow, which is even more.
Archery, the three talents are a qualified archer, and now it seems that Hua Shangxue has the first point, as for the latter two points, it is the standard for evaluating whether a person can be regarded as an archer.
After Hua Shangxue tried the longbow, he checked the arrows again, and then began to pose for archery.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Shangxue set her eyes on the bullseye in the distance, thinking back to Komaki's archery habits, since he wanted to be his stand-in, he naturally had to pretend to be, and he couldn't suddenly deduce two different styles of archery skills by himself.
That's not just poking for a poke.
Fortunately, I have watched Xiao Mu practice on weekdays, these little habits of archery, Hua Shangxue is also in my mind, and now it is also beautiful to imitate, so that Uncle Qi Fei who is watching from the side is a little trance, and the person standing in the shooting range at this moment is not looking for a fake Hua Shangxue, but the real Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu's habits are familiar to Uncle Qi Fei, and he can write them down and use them, even if he can't use the snow archery technique, at least this imitation skill makes Uncle Qi Fei have to be convinced.
One of the arrow feathers pierced the night and flew towards the target, and with a crisp sound, it was actually right in the bull's-eye.
Hua Shangxue, who was originally standing in place, reached out and took another arrow, but no longer stood in place, but began to run, pulling the bow and arrows in the run, and the arrow feathers shot out, and with a bang, it was a bull's-eye.
Just shot two arrows, Hua Shangxue was still quite satisfied with his state, although this was just a relatively simple static target archery, not too difficult, but, with Komaki's current strength, it was enough to show such a result.
Bang bang, Uncle Qi Fei high-fived three times, and looked at the snow on the flowers, his eyes were shining.
"Xiaoxue, I didn't expect you to have the ability, but I underestimated you. Were the people selected by Muyuan blind at the beginning, why didn't they pick you out, it's really a pearl of dust. However, are you interested in making a deal with me? Uncle Qi Fei smiled a little treacherously, and there was always a little bit of ill will.
"Uncle, what you want to say is straightforward, it's not like you."
"Hehe, Xiaoxue is smart. I mean, anyway, it won't take much time on your errand in Yao Yuan, so if you're interested, you will come over by chance to make a cameo appearance as a guard. As you know, sometimes there are always people who are a little sick or have urgent matters to deal with, and they want to find a reliable person to replace them, but they can't, so they can only endure it. ”
"You mean I want to be a stand-in for you? Uncle, your brain didn't burn out. Hua Shangxue couldn't help but squint at Uncle Qi Fei.
Please, she's only ten years old, and in the entire guard camp, except for Xiao Mu's awkward child, everyone is at least half a head taller than her. Let her be a stand-in for the guards, she had to suspect that this burnt person was Uncle Qi Fei and not Xiao Mu, otherwise how could she make such an unrealistic proposal.
"Don't be too busy refusing, I didn't say now. Even if you want to be our stand-in, you can't be too rubbish. At least I have to wait until I train you well, and when I feel like it's about the same, I might let you do it. As for the height and other problems you mentioned, don't worry, I have my own way to solve it, and it won't make it difficult for you. ”
Hearing what Uncle Qi Fei said, Hua Shangxue also felt that he could try it.
"Uncle, you should know the truth, my time is spent earning money, and I will be a stand-in for the people of your guard camp......"
"Don't worry, I know this. Whoever you have taken for that day will be paid to you in the number of hours. You must know that even if you only help for half an hour, it is no less than the money you get for a day of helping in the kitchen. This errand is not something I am willing to give to anyone, if it weren't for the fact that you and Fu'er are good sisters, and you are also a talented person, I wouldn't bother to say this. Uncle Qi Fei said in a dragging voice, as if he had given Hua Shangxue a great grace, and even his chin was raised unconsciously, with a slight hint of untouchable arrogance. (To be continued......)
