Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 20 She is very strong (Pet)
Gu Yunxi and Xiao Xiaoshen happily ran to the position where there was a wooden target on the school field.
Xiao Xiaoshen took a bow and a bundle of Xuanyu arrows, and collapsed the arrow pouch made of deerskin directly onto his shoulder, and handed the bow into Gu Yunxi's hand.
Gu Yunxi was almost taken by this bow.
The first feeling is: it's too heavy.
Xiao Xiaoshen smiled and began to explain in detail:
"The materials used to make the bow in our East Factory are the best wood. You see here, the patch on the inside of the bow arm is a unique buffalo horn slice in the water town of Southern Province, the toughest cow tendon is used as a string, and finally the most moisture-proof tung paint is cast. With such a good bow in your hand, it will naturally have some weight! ”
When he had finished speaking, he took an arrow from the buckskin holster on his back.
"The arrows in Dongchang are different from the military department, they are all made of black-colored eagle feathers, and there are casting marks on the arrows, here, you have to remember." Xiao Xiaoshen pointed the sharp arrows and showed Gu Yunxi a row of small characters on it.
Sure enough, she saw a very small row of seal seals on it: Cast by the East Investigation Factory.
At that time, Xiao Xiaoshen put the Xuanyu arrow on the bow in Gu Yunxi's hand and set it up, and helped her straighten the bow and put her in a correct posture:
"Now learn to do it, legs apart, steps steady-"
Gu Yunxi obediently learned to do it.
"Yes, yes, you must stand firm on your feet! This hand holds the bow, and this hand clenches the arrow's feathers...... Okay, hold still! ”
Xiao Xiaoshen retracted her posture, looked left and right around Gu Yunxi, felt that her posture was fine, and continued to order:
"Pull the strings hard, hard!"
Gu Yunxi followed his orders.
It's weird! She watched the soldiers below pull the bow very easily on the stage, and instead of doing the same thing herself, why is this bow not very obedient?
With all her strength, the strings made of cow tendons didn't pull out a few inches.
Her arms were weak, and she really had no strength. The moment the strength was relaxed, the sharp arrow on the bowstring immediately stretched out, wilting and weakly plunged into the yellow earth.
Xiao Xiaoshen comforted when he saw this:
"Don't worry! The weight of this bow and arrow is not light, and you are tired of practicing your arms when you return to the head, and it will be fine after a long time. ”
"It's okay, practice again!"
Gu Yunxi was full of energy and was not discouraged at all. Taking Xiao Xiaoshen's second arrow, she put the long arrow on the bow arm according to what he taught before, grabbed the arrow feather and pulled the string hard.
Indeed, as Xiao Xiaoshen said, the weight of this bow made of Zhemu is not light. Gu Yunxi is a weak woman, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other is not a simple matter. After only three arrows, she already had a sore back, and her arms were as weak as noodles.
Looking at the arrows he shot, each of them was inserted in the ground less than two meters in front of him, not to mention the red heart that hit the target, and even the edge of the wooden target was not touched.
Gu Yunxi sat on the ground, panting and wiping his sweat.
Xiao Xiaoshen squatted next to her and kept comforting:
"You're already remarkable, and you've shot so far with your bow and arrow. Yunxi, you don't have to think too much. Thou art the overseer, and he stands in the way of everything for thee, so why should thou be reckless! ”
Gu Yunxi frowned and looked directly at the wooden rake in front of him, and wiped his forehead again:
"You don't understand! It's because the Overseer always stands in the way for me that I can't have the idea of relying on him! The road is your own way, and you have to rely on your own legs to go down. Do you want me to be supported by the Overseer for the rest of my life? ”
Xiao Xiaoshen scratched the back of his head and pondered for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "What you said is also right!" I can't see it, you're not too ambitious! ”
"Of course! Which of the people in Dongchang is not full of pride and ambition? This time you're watching from the sidelines, leave me alone! ”
Gu Yunxi swallowed his saliva and stood up, shook the bow and continued to shoot. Soon, the full set of arrows ran out, and Xiao Xiaoshen instructed Fan Wei to take another set, put it on Gu Yunxi's back, and instructed her how to get the arrows behind her backhand. On the lookout, a green figure, looking at Gu Yunxi, who was working hard in a corner of the school field, the long swing of the python robe was blown into the air by the breeze, fluttering, and the two narrow phoenix eyes were full of gratification and approval.
Cheng Wanli, who was in charge of the execution, stood side by side with Leng Qingtang, looked in the direction of the overseer's far-sighted eyes, smiled and nodded:
"This girl is so strong! It seems that she doesn't need too much protection from her grandfather! ”
Leng Qingtang smiled without saying a word, and walked up the next high ladder.
"Overseer!" When the guards on the school ground saw Leng Qingtang coming, they bowed down and bowed one after another.
Leng Qingtang went straight to the place where Gu Yunxi practiced archery.
Xiao Xiaoshen hurriedly got up from the sand, saluted the overseer, and retreated to Master Cheng Wanli's side.
"Overseer......"
Seeing Leng Qingtang coming, Gu Yunxi was a little panicked and forgot to salute. Especially when he found that he was tilting his head to stare at himself with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, Shi Jun had a smiling and rather interested expression on his face, and he blushed at the moment.
"Want to learn archery?" He asked with his arms around her and looked directly at her sweat-soaked little red face.
"Yes!"
Gu Yunxi wiped his face and answered simply.
Her resolute attitude and her childish little face didn't match it originally, Leng Qingtang saw it in his eyes, and the more he felt that this little girl was really cute.
"Silly ......"
"Silly girl" almost blurted out, he suddenly realized that many guards were present, and quickly changed his words:
"Silly apprentice, archery and martial arts are the same, how can you practice it overnight? Come, I'll teach you! ”
Leng Qingtang walked over after speaking, took the bow from Gu Yunxi's hand, and took off the arrow sleeve on her back with one hand.
"What?" She was not happy and reached out to stop her.
"It's too heavy, don't carry it!" His tone was resolute, and there was no room for negotiation.
Throwing the arrow sleeve to a fanwei, Leng Qingtang only left a Xuanyu arrow in his hand, and while posing, he taught Gu Yunxi at the same time:
"Split your legs and pay attention to the distance between your feet. Hold the bow in your left hand and aim your shoulder at the target in front of you...... Keep your left foot slightly tilted inward......"
When the arrow was wound, Leng Qingtang deliberately moved a few fingers of his right hand to attract the special attention of the little apprentice, slightly aimed at the bull's-eye in front of him, and then turned his head to her and said:
"Look here! Clasp the string with your index finger, long finger and ring finger, and pull your right arm back as you push your left arm forward......"
Gu Yunxi stood next to him and watched seriously.
When the scorching sun was overhead, the dazzling light hit the white flower land, pulling out a majestic and slender black shadow, and the bow was raised to hold the string to the fullest. At this moment, Leng Qingtang's face was not smiling, and he squinted slightly at the red heart of the target rake.
There was a sharp light in his eyes, and then he shouted with half his mouth open: "Shoot!"
The moment he let go of his finger, the Xuanyu arrow turned into a white light and rushed straight out, galloping against the wind, straight to the red heart in the middle of the target rake. The body of the arrow trembled for a moment, and then became stable and immovable.
"The Overseer is a good worker!"
"Good archery—"
There was a surprising silence on the field for a moment, and after everyone reacted from a stunned state, they erupted in an endless stream of admiration and cheers in vain.
Leng Qingtang already has unique skills and a solid foundation in martial arts, and archery is like a joke for him. However, those who were clapping and cheering excitedly took advantage of the topic to play, and wanted to pat the overseer's ass.
Gu Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise, staring at the Xuanyu arrow on the wooden rake in the distance.
"This, I...... Before I could see it, I ......"
She stammered, knowing best that her distraction was due to the focus on the Overseer.
Leng Qingtang smiled disapprovingly, and beckoned to her: "Yun Guan'er, come here!"
Gu Yunxi came to Leng Qingtang's side, looking worried.
It's her turn to perform again, and there are already more and more guards coming around to watch the excitement, and there are all the people she knows and Xiao Xiaoshen, and she is beginning to worry that she will make a fool of herself.
"It's okay, follow me."
Leng Qingtang saw Gu Yunxi's concern, whispered in her ear, turned her body sideways and spread her arms, and her posture almost completely covered Gu Yunxi's small body. From a certain angle, his posture is like enclosing her whole body in his arms.
The fresh cold fragrance continued to evaporate, silently entering Gu Yunxi's nasal cavity.
She realized that her back was pressed against a solid pectoral muscle, and through several layers of clothing, she could clearly feel the warmth of that inch of skin, and her heart was beating suddenly in the depths of that skin.
And at this moment, she blushed again......
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, a solemn question sounded overhead.
Leng Qingtang sensed that she was a little absent-minded from the change in the strength of her hand, and said in an aggravated voice:
"Look up! Keep your eyes in line with the arrows and targets. Be careful, don't blink—"
He and her, holding a bow in four hands, and two large hands helped her slowly fill the strings.
Cheng Wanli stood by the side, quietly watching the pair of figures of Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi who were closely in harmony.
In the eyes, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is delicate and exquisite, but it is a perfect match, but it is just ......
Faintly thinking of something, Cheng Wanli's expression became darker.
"Good! Okay—"
The sound of praise and cheers woke up the thousand households who had fallen into solitude. When he was concentrating, Gu Yunxikong held a bow, and a Xuanyu arrow was nailed to the target on the opposite side.
Cheng Wanli was incredulous, closed his eyes and shook his head, opened his eyes and looked again, although the arrow did not hit the red heart, it just happened to shoot on the rake plate.
Gu Yunxi on the field got carried away, and was chanting with the people around him, raising his bow and jumping excitedly around the overseer:
"Wow! I shot! I shot! Overseer, I shot! Do you see—"
Leng Qingtang bent his eyes and smiled silently, staring at her quietly and screaming wildly, with a doting look in his eyes.
Cheng Wanli sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly, knowing in his heart that Gu Yunxi's arrow was just their benevolent and loving overseer who was secretly helping her with the help of internal strength. The purpose is very simple, just to make her smile, so that she can add more satisfaction and pride to success. Seeing the situation, she was happy, and he was happy.
This master, more and more childish-
Enough trouble, Gu Yunxi took an arrow from Fan Wei's hand again, and was just about to put it on the string when he was stopped by Leng Qingtang:
"That's all for today."
"I'm just getting started, and I'm going to practice a little more! This time I'm going to shoot the heart on the other side! ”
"Take it when you see it, and practice again next time! Come back, you are not hungry, but Bendok is hungry. ”
Grabbing the bow and arrow, he reached out his index finger and poked her forehead lightly, his thin, beautifully colored lips raised a gentle arc.
The hand became warm, and it turned out that he had taken her hand.
Gu Yunxi's heart was flustered, and a heavy layer of color appeared on his face that had just faded red.
The eyes are shining, and they are tossing and turning. She lowered her head and stopped looking at him, and let him pull her hand, like a good little lamb being led all the way forward by him.
The guards flashed to the sides to make way for them, and a pair of bright eyes were staring at them, but the overseer next to her seemed to enjoy it very much, and took her leisurely.
Cheng Wanli frowned and followed behind the Overseer, walking with the couple side by side at a distance, coughing or two as they went.
just finished acting in front of Minglan, why is this son tired of being together again? My lord, don't you want to fake it, do you? Your age, not to mention your father, is almost the same as being her uncle......
Leng Qingtang didn't seem to hear the hint of Lord Qianhu at all, so he just joined hands with Gu Yunxi, and his handsome face was full of a happy smile.
