Chapter 050: I see
A complete village ritual is first subjected to a toast and sacrifice similar to a drinking ceremony, but fortunately times have changed, and now the state school has integrated the two rites into one day in order to omit most of these repetitive formal steps.
When the musicians entered, these musicians were the musicians of the prostitute music division, and it was the officials who acted as musicians. They sat in the position where they had sat at the previous drinking ceremony, and after the shooting position, they directly began to play "Guan Ju", "Ge Tan", "Curly Ear" and other songs, which cheered the guests and also heralded the long-awaited shooting process that was about to debut.
The straight road in front of the pavilion is used as a shooting range, and the shooting position is more than 60 meters away from the target. The target was made of straw into a swan-shaped, and it stretched out not small, and it was lying on the ground at this time and did not stand up. And as long as you shoot, you will be counted, and it doesn't matter how many rings you hit.
The official behind a circular leather screen on the northeast side of the target was recorded, and he hid behind to see if the target was hit on both sides, and if he did, he would throw the counting chip to the ground.
The master is still Liu Tingshi, and Bin has been replaced by the owner of the evergreen study, Long Lianshan.
Evergreen Study seems to be a place to sell books. It is believed that selling books is also a commercial business, but because the things sold are elegant, and the dragon priest is also a famous scholar, this will not change with the change of dynasty, and he has also published some miscellaneous notes, so he is quite famous in this state.
Shu Hui also saw that Liu Tingshi's second daughter was standing in the pavilion closest to Wenchang Hall opposite at this time, beside several officials' family members, secretly looking over here, thinking that she had been found by Liu Tingshi.
The host and guest are matched into a couple, and there are three pairs of guests matched with each other, plus several pairs of couples formed by officials and scholars, which are the protagonists of this shooting salute. Because the part of the feast and sacrifice is simplified, their roles are basically the same, and the shooting salute is very interesting, so the invited officials are very happy to participate.
Shu Hui saw that the silent student who had led them the way before was one of the three pairs of guests, and he was obviously acting as a shot from the west position. And the other five people were the guests, intermediaries and guests at the previous drinking ceremony.
"This person's position is also weirdly awkward, just sixth. The drinking ceremony did not have his share, but the shooting salute intervened, I don't know whether he was more glad that the last position of the shooting salute allowed him to obtain it or if he was unwilling to drink the salute and almost became a guest. ”
Shu Hui pushed away the little girl who called herself "Qiaoqiao" with her left hand, thinking about what the mood of the student who couldn't go up or down, but the complaining words came out from the right hand that covered her mouth: "Get out of the way, don't squeeze so tightly, don't you feel hot?" ”
Jojo blinked, didn't speak, and hugged back again.
"This little man is so warm, he doesn't feel cold when he is so thinly dressed, I feel like I'm back in a warm house when I lean on, and it's very comfortable. And he's so clean and fragrant......"
If Shu Hui knew what Qiao Qiao was thinking, she wouldn't wonder why this girl was clinging to him.
The protagonist's aura is turned on all the time, but on weekdays, in order to save energy, only the air conditioner is shrouded in the surface of his body, Ao Guang, and Hongyu. The frost and spring breeze created when scaring Cheng Huaimo before were all withdrawn after loading, and now the air conditioner is still only shrouded in the three of them.
Because of this, they are dressed relatively thinly. Although you can't see it from a little farther away in a dress, the body heat emitted in this late autumn is several times that of others. Qiaoqiao's female baby has a weak physique, and at the same time, she is more sensitive to temperature changes, so she instinctively wants to lean over.
And the most important thing is that Shu Hui's healing aura has always been on, and it has always shrouded Shu Hui himself and the two red fish beside him.
As mentioned earlier, all the functions of the protagonist aura equipment basically share the same set of peripheral equipment, and this device envelops the three people after being transformed, providing temperature change and healing effects at the same time, so the scope of healing is also about two inches of the body surface that Shu Hui set up for temperature change before, which is roughly equivalent to a humanoid area wearing a hooded cloak.
Creatures within this radius will be healed as long as they have injuries and diseases, and they will recover slowly. Of course, Shu Hui could choose to narrow down one of the ranges alone, but he wasn't full of food, so why bothered so much......
So Jojo leaned next to him and desperately tried to squeeze closer, because it would make her feel relaxed and comfortable. Moreover, the osmanthus frankincense soap that Shu Hui used last night smelled much better than the mixed spices and herbs in the facial fat and bath beans that were popular at this time.
After pushing it several times, Shu Hui had no choice but to give up. What can he do? This is the daughter of the owner of this township shooting salute, what's wrong with squeezing with you...... What's more, he didn't think this girl was annoying, and he didn't keep calling him except for wanting to pull him down when he first came to this pavilion.
They were pushing and shoving here, but Cheng Huaimo shrank his head, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone. Shu Hui happened to see Chen Beijia, who was the shooting officer, and Liao Sima, who was originally Sima, making people engage in some performative shows of ritual movements of muscles that didn't exist at all, so he pouted his lips boringly, and turned around just to see his small movements.
"What's the matter, brother, who are you so afraid of?" In addition to himself, the only person who can make this guy show this expression is probably only him, right?
"Big brother ......", Cheng Huaimo still felt a little embarrassed by this title in the face of the "daughter" of the beautiful Liu Erniang who he had fantasized about before, but he still replied: "The one standing behind Liu Tingshi's pair over there, the last pair, the one on the right, is my second uncle." ”
Shu Hui hurriedly looked at it when he heard this, he didn't know who Cheng Huaimo was talking about, but the officials and scholars were coupled, and he could still tell who was the official.
This look made him stunned: "Isn't this Bao?" used to watch variety show channels, and his appearance rate was high. ”
couldn't help but look back at Cheng Huaimo suspiciously, his second uncle didn't match him at all in terms of figure or appearance. His second uncle was thin and thin, and his face looked like Bao; But Cheng Huaimo is a little tall, and his face is relatively round, the only similarity is that they are all darker.
"There's a story in it." Shu Hui thought maliciously, but he didn't know whether Cheng Huaimo was not like his father, or his father was not like his second uncle, or the three of them were not like him.
"Hey, yes, I didn't think of it before." After maliciously speculating about Cheng Huaimo's family affairs, Shu Hui suddenly grabbed a trace of inspiration as if she had suddenly become enlightened, and couldn't help but look back at the girl again.
"She has no genetic disease herself, but the other children of Liu Yuanjun and his wife after their eldest son have died, which is always abnormal. She was able to survive, maybe just because she was not born to Liu Yuanjun! ”
After opening up this strange line of thought, I can't help but feel that I think it makes sense, and I think that many things can make sense. But when I think about it, there are some things that I can't grasp.
"Well, there's so little information to say here, it's just speculation, and other people's family affairs have nothing to do with me. But the reason why they have died so many babies is better to figure out, I'm a man who wants to study medicine. ”
Don't think about it for the time being, anyway, I'm going to go to Yunzhilou to drink flower wine at night. The main purpose of Shu Hui's trip was to take out the quill and blue and black ink at that time to make a show, hoping that Liu Tingshi and others would help promote it.
At that time, it is inevitable to meet Liu Yuanjun again, help him take a look, and collect more data.
There was a drama and muscle show action over there, and the main topic of the salute came, and Qiao Qiao stabbed Shu Hui, who was distracted, and asked him to watch it.
As the master of the shooting, Chen Beijia first asked the small officials counting next to the target to stand up the two targets on the left and right, and then asked the disciple to hand him the Hu Lu holding with arrows and the richly decorated horn bow.
Pull up the left sleeve and put on an arm guard that tightens the muscles to increase strength and prevent the bowstring from scratching; Then put a wrench on the thumb attached to the bow to avoid being injured by the shaking of the bow body after launching; Then he put a finger guard on the finger of the hooked string of his right hand to do a full set of protection.
Then he stood on the shooting position and began to teach the six students the standard movements of archery in the upper, secondary, and downcoupled.
This part does not contain ceremonial postures, but rather instructs them on how to move their faces from right to forward and calculate the distance to get the most accurate aim by holding the bow in their left hand, the right hand on the string, and the left foot in a lunge position.
"If you don't have the certainty of hitting and your mind is not focused enough, don't shoot!"
He made a pretentious appearance, taught the trio how to regulate his breathing, and how to maintain a calm mind before opening the strings, and finally demonstrated how to shoot an arrow.
After his demonstration was completed, the trio composed of the six students also stepped forward in order to practice shooting. Shoot first and shoot first, shoot down and shoot later, and each person takes turns to shoot four arrows and then replace the next couple.
Although the first shot was demonstrative, and no points were scored whether it hit the target or not, but under the burning eyes of a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law, this group of young people still had enough energy to perform well.
The three couplings are not bad, and those that are not completely off the target seem to have been practiced in advance. The last student who led Shu Hui to the pavilion was even more successful, and he was a little arrogant, but in Shu Hui's opinion, he may have a crooked talent.
When they finished their performances, enjoying the admiring gazes of those who didn't know who they were looking at, they retracted their bows and sat down in a polite manner, waiting for Sima to let the little officials in the field pack up their arrows and start the second round of shooting.
"This Chen Beijia is not ambiguous, I thought I could shoot two arrows after watching him play." Shu Hui recalled the essentials he had just heard: "He said that the most important thing is to adjust his breathing and calm his mind, and when his heart is right, the arrow can be shot, which is probably the main purpose of the salute." ”
"The muscles driven by breathing have a great impact on the movement of the hand, and even if the hand is only a small angle away from the intended position of the aim due to breathing, it will be far away after more than 60 meters of amplification."
"The breathing method is like the internal strength in martial arts novels, which is a relatively simple skill, and ordinary people can find the right way by groping for themselves. And the real essence is the mental method, although this mental method is not difficult, but it cannot be simply said, so through this shooting salute let people understand by themselves. ”
