“？！”

One tall and one short, the two Nuyun Zhai villagers looked at Xie Chao with incredible eyes, and then ...... continued to bow his head and whispered in front of Xie Chao, in fact, Xie Chao heard their voices clearly.

"This person is actually speaking Yunzhou dialect?"

"Did you hear me clearly?! I thought I misheard. ”

"But he's from Zhongzhou, right? Have you ever seen people in Zhongzhou who can speak Yunzhou dialect? ”

"Wasn't that the guy the other day?"

"Oh yes......"

Xie Chao couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said in his heart that these two people, are they big-hearted, stupid, or stupid?

But Xie Chao still didn't say anything, he cleared his throat and said, "We came from Fenglei Village, and we came here to find a man named 'Eagle', I don't know if the two of you can know him?" ”

"Are you looking for eagles?" The two men, one tall and one short, asked in unison, they raised their heads and looked at Xie Chao again.

As he was talking, Su Jingchen suddenly walked up, and along the way, after Xie Chao's "teaching", except for the occasional rare pronunciation, Su Jingchen has been able to understand a lot of Yunzhou dialect, and has also learned some daily conversations, but the pronunciation is still very stiff.

Su Jingchen opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before he could find the first pronunciation, but from the second word, his pronunciation became very awkward again, "Yes, we are looking for him, can you help us introduce him?" ”

The two men looked at each other, obviously, they didn't understand Su Jingchen's words.

What the hell is this Zhongzhou guy talking about? Why can't I understand a word, is this Zhongzhou dialect? The tall villager scolded in his heart.

Xie Chao was helpless, so he had to speak, "The brother next to me said that we are indeed here to find the eagle, can you help us introduce it?" ”

"Introduction? We don't dare, that guy looks like he owes him a few pigs to everyone," said the short villager, with a bitter face, "and no one will take the initiative to talk to him except the owner of the village." ”

"And his apprentices!" The tall villager corrected.

"Yes, yes, and his apprentices!" The short villager hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that the tall villager would rob him of the lines he wanted to say, "But his apprentices are very likable in the village, will help us do things, and they have always been smiling and welcoming people." ”

As he spoke, the short villager suddenly smiled maliciously and said, "Especially his female apprentice, who is really good-looking, I can't find her good-looking girl in the village." ”

"That's right." The tall villager agreed, but there was no sinister smile on his face.

"Can that tell us about the direction in which the eagle lives? We can find it ourselves. Xie Chao proposed again.

The tall villager nodded, turned and pointed to the northernmost part of the stockade, and said, "That's easy to find, the place where the eagle lives is in the northernmost part of the stockade, and there is a lonely place, just that room, it's easy to find." ”

Xie Chao thanked him, turned his head and called Su Jingchen, Su Jingchen also bowed slightly, and thanked the two, his pronunciation of "thank you" was very standard, and after doing it, the two walked into Nuyun Village side by side.

There were two symbolic guards standing on both sides of the gate, they were a little surprised when they saw Su Jingchen and Xie Chao, and then grabbed their spears and walked up to the two of them, and asked, "Where are you from?" Come to our Nuyun Village to do something

Is it? ”

"Come from Fenglei Village and go to Nuyun Village to find a man named 'Eagle'."

"Are you looking for eagles?" One of the guards froze for a moment.

"yes, what's wrong?" Xie Chao asked.

"Not much, let's go in." The guard waved his hand, removed the spears that stood in the way, and put them directly into the stockade.

They stood in place like this, watching Su Jingchen and Xie Chao walk away, and after a long time, another warrior suddenly asked, "The Zhongzhou people who will come to the village recently said by the owner of the village are the two of them?" ”

"It should be, after all, where we don't birds, except for those fierce beasts, nothing will come to patronize."

......

There is nearly one-fifth of the wind and thunder village in Nuyun Village, but there are less than two thousand people in the village, along the way, Su Jingchen and the two of them still met a lot of people, and those villagers without exception cast curious eyes on them, looked at them from a distance, and whispered together.

Xie Chao seemed to enjoy this feeling, he looked arrogant, as if he was not a sloppy man with greasy hair, but a new champion riding a high-headed horse through the streets.

Fortunately, there was no major incident along the way, and there was no "can't get used to Zhongzhou people" or "can't get used to Xie Chao's face" Nuyunzhai big man, and after a while, the two came to the northernmost part of the village.

"Huh? There is no wall here? Xie Chao squinted his eyes and stared at the front carefully, but still didn't find a trace of the existence of a wall-like wall, "I think the wall over there is more advanced than that of Fenglei Village, why isn't there a wall-based wall here?" Don't think people will come around this way? ”

After walking forward for a while, Xie Chao suddenly understood the reason why there was no walled wall here-because the north side of the village was close to an almost vertical cliff, from bottom to top, about fifty zhang, there was such a natural barrier, what else did the walled wall do?

"Deceived Kangxi"

"No wonder it's uphill just now." Su Jingchen stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down from above, except for the trees, a few white bones could be vaguely seen, but he couldn't see whether it was a human or an animal.

"Is that there?" Xie Chao suddenly pointed to a small lonely house in the distance, he looked around, and replied to himself, "It seems to be there." ”

Su Jingchen nodded, "Then let's go." ”

From where they were to the hut, it was still an uphill road, and they could only see the roof of the hut at the bottom of the slope, and they had to go up to find out what was going on on the hut.

On the other side of the hut, a man of about fifty years old was huddled under the eaves, sitting expressionlessly on a bamboo and rattan rocking chair, and in front of him, three young men were shooting arrows with bows and arrows.

The outermost one was still a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, he was just over six feet tall, his face was full of seriousness, at the moment his fingers were tightly on the bowstring, the arrows were ready to fire, opposite him, there were more than ten arrows inserted on the arrow target, most of the arrows inserted in the arrow target were also in the red circle, only a few would fall outside the red circle, probably because he was too young and did not have enough strength, so occasionally there would be arrows falling off the arrow target.

In the middle is a well-proportioned girl, she is slightly taller than the boy, probably to facilitate archery, she wears a light blue dress with a corset, her clean little face is slightly red, and a few beads of sweat can be seen on her forehead, Xie Chao looked at her heroic side face and suddenly couldn't help but admire, "What a beauty." ”

"It's on par with Sister Youduo." Xie Chao suddenly turned his head to look at Su Jingchen, raised his eyebrows and smiled, but unfortunately Su Jingchen didn't look at him, but carefully looked at the three people who were shooting arrows over there.

She had already shot the arrow, and it was right in the bull's-eye, and eighty paces away from them stood several stout and tall trees, and on the trunk of each tree hung an old target full of arrow holes, painted red with red paint, and in that red area I don't know how many arrows had been inserted.

The last man was more than seven feet tall, dark-skinned, and looked like a standard handsome Yunzhou guy, and his quiver was already empty, so he was putting down his bow and slowly stepped forward, as if he was going to retrieve the arrows that were stuck in the target.

Unlike the other two, his target seemed very new, even newer than the boy's, and the boy had hundreds of holes on his target, and the holes on his target seemed to be newly shot, and at a glance, there would never be more than thirty.

But Su Jingchen has already understood, this is their way of practicing archery, probably every time they shoot a bad arrow target, they will change to a new one, the boy is not strong enough, shoot hundreds of arrows, the arrow target is just a slight sign of cracking that can only be found by careful observation, the girl shot a hundred arrows, although it is a girl, but her strength is much greater than that boy, there are obvious cracks on her arrow target, another round, about twenty more arrows, she can divide the arrow target into several parts.

No, perhaps, ten arrows will be enough.

And the man in the innermost part, it can be seen that he has been learning arrows for the longest time, has the greatest strength, and has the highest accuracy, and the arrows he shoots are basically concentrated in one point, in Zhongzhou, this is already a well-deserved archer, with his archery skills, there is no problem at all when he is a centurion, so although he only shot less than thirty arrows, his arrow target is almost cracked, as long as there is another arrow, the arrow target can be completely broken.

This thing not only tests physical strength, but also tests the accuracy and strength of archery, both are indispensable, without one of them, it will be like that boy, even if he shoots hundreds, thousands of arrows, the arrow target is still the arrow target, as for that man, Su Jingchen has already estimated it in his heart, he shoots an arrow target, it takes about twenty, no! Sixteen arrows.

What if it were me? Su Jingchen couldn't help but think, if it was Zhongzhou's arrow target, he would need about four arrows, but their arrow target was obviously specially made, and he didn't know what the strength was, but in any case, the arrows consumed must be less than twenty.

Su Jingchen rubbed his hands, looking eager to try, "I really want to try it!" ”

"Try what?" Xie Chao turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Archery!" Su Jingchen suddenly laughed.

"Then go, I didn't pull you." Xie Chao spread his hands.

Su Jingchen suddenly shook his head again and said, "It's not good, I'd better watch it for a while." ”

"Wait, have you forgotten what we're here for?"

"It's all here, just let me watch it for a while, there shouldn't be anything, right?" Su Jingchen indulged himself for a rare time.

"Okay, okay, then whatever you want." Xie Chao sighed helplessly, and then involuntarily turned his head and began to look at the man who seemed to have fallen asleep under the eaves.

And the corners of the man's mouth suddenly floated into an imperceptible smile.
