Chapter 022: Accidental Injury
Liu Xiu had no choice but to hold the bow, Gongsun Zhan took out an arrow, let him put it on the string, and then taught him how to buckle the string, how to fix the arrow, and where to put his arm. Liu Xiu complied one by one, then took a breath and pulled the bow hard.
"Squeak" There was a tooth-sour sound, and the hard bow with one and a half stones was easily pulled by Liu Xiu, and Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, he looked at Liu Xiu dumbfounded, and blurted out: "Damn, so fierce!" ”
"What?" Liu Xiu had been listening to his instructions to make movements, and when he heard this, he didn't think about it for a while, turned his head to look at him, and before he heard Gongsun Zhan's answer, he only heard a "bang", the tight bowstring suddenly broke, and the long arrow on the string "buzzed", and he didn't know where to fly.
"Ugh!" There was a scream from behind, and as soon as Liu Xiu turned around, he saw Liu Bei squatting down with his face covered, and the arrow fell in front of him.
"Damn!" Liu Xiu couldn't help but scold, this is too embarrassing, my brother just wants to be low-key, but he doesn't want to be embarrassed, this arrow ...... Really shot behind you?
He didn't care about Zifei, threw the bow, hurriedly hugged Liu Bei, and asked nervously, "Xuande, where are you injured?" ”
Although he doesn't like Liu Bei in history, he actually cares very much about such a young man in front of him, who is a little cunning but generally quite likable, and he can flirt with him, but he never wants to hurt him.
"Ugh!" Liu Bei was about to cry, this is too unlucky, he can be hit by an arrow standing behind him? I've seen poor archery, but I've never seen such a bad one, who will dare to stand behind you in the future.
When everyone saw it, they also looked at each other, this kind of thing is really the first time they have seen it, if you want to say it, you can only say that Liu Bei has carried it to the extreme.
Liu Xiu carefully pulled away Liu Bei's hand covering his face, and saw that Liu Bei's face and hands were full of blood, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and after a careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief. This arrow didn't have any strength, it just rubbed it on Liu Bei's eyebrows, and it looked like it was bleeding a lot, but in fact, the injury was not serious.
Gongsun Zhan also came over to check it, and he was also relieved, comforted Liu Bei, who had tears in his eyes, and forcibly endured Liu Bei, who didn't cry, said: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Who, go to Mao Zong and ask for medicine. ”
Someone answered and walked away quickly. Liu Xiu was also in no mood to practice archery, so he and Gongsun Zhan carried Liu Bei back to the dormitory. It didn't take long for Mao Zong to rush over with a nervous face with the medicine, and Gongsun Zhan said while cleaning Liu Bei's wound and applying the medicine: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay to hurt yourself, I guarantee that you will be fine tomorrow." ”
Mao Zong breathed a sigh of relief. The Mao family built a fine house to attract guests, and if someone died, it would be self-defeating. Seeing that Liu Bei's injuries were not serious and he regained his calm, he went back with confidence to report the matter to his sister Mao.
Mao Yan listened to Mao Zong's report, let go of the worries in her heart, grinned, and wanted to laugh but didn't come out. She glanced at Ah Chu, who also had a strange expression, and said, "I really heard a strange thing today, the arrow actually shot in the back." ”
Mao Zong had already told them about Liu Xiu's failure to solve the problem just now, Ah Chu was still a little interested in Liu Xiu, but now it has disappeared, and there is such a thing that makes people cry and laugh, she shook her head again and again in disappointment: "I didn't expect this person to be a useless waste, he can't write, he can't do martial arts." ”
Mao Yan laughed out loud, glanced at her meaningfully, and said with a smile: "What you said is not right, although it is really strange for an arrow to shoot in the back, but what is strange about him who has never practiced not shooting arrows?" I think this man is a little funny, how much strength does it take to be able to break a hard bow with one and a half stones? It is impossible to say that he can shoot a hard bow with two or even three stones, and with this extraordinary strength, he may become a fierce general. ”
"And!" Ah Chu was disdainful: "I think you are a little demonic if you want to attract guests, and when you see a little strength, you want to win it over." ”
"Of course, can our family recruit any talents?" Mao Yan didn't mind, and said with a faint smile: "If you want to protect your family and protect the hospital, of course, you need some outstanding force to be able to stop those Hu people and horse thieves, do you still expect to rely on a few words of the saint to say that you can quit Hu people and horse thieves?" Reading a few sentences of Spring and Autumn can make Hu people retreat in shame? If he really wants to have this effect, why would his old man be trapped between Chen Cai and almost starve to death. ”
"You, don't read yourself, and don't slander the saints, okay?" Ah Chu said angrily and funny, shook his head, and stopped arguing with Mao Yan.
Mao Zong listened on the sidelines, and his eyebrows danced. Although this distant cousin is beautiful and well-educated, she has some arrogance of the family, although she has deliberately concealed it, but the pride in her bones is still uncomfortable, and now he feels very happy to see that his sister has said so badly about the saint she respects, and she can only retreat.
"Chengming, what are you happy about?" Seeing Mao Zong's evil smile, Achu said with some anger: "You are determined to be a general who crisscrosses the battlefield, why don't you solve this problem?" Don't you have to think about food and grass in the future? ”
Mao Zong secretly screamed badly, shrunk his neck, turned around and wanted to leave. Mao Yan drank him, and said: "Achu is right, don't run, think about it yourself, this question is not difficult, even I can solve it, why don't you pay attention." She paused, and said undoubtedly: "If you don't solve it today, you won't be allowed to participate in the competition tomorrow." ”
Mao Zong's face suddenly became bitter, and he begged: "Sister, don't be so ruthless, right?" ”
"Don't say much, if you don't accept it, go to Ah Weng and sue him."
Mao Zong was inexplicably sad and angry, clenching his fists and beating his chest.
Gongsun Chan was right, Liu Bei's injury was fine soon, except for some pain when he frowned, it basically had no effect. Coupled with Liu Xiu and Gongsun Zhan by their side, taking care of him like his own brother, Liu Bei felt very warm and his mood was much better. When Mao Zong came back with the arithmetic problem in frustration, he was still full of energy to help Mao Zong find a way, but before he could figure it out, Gongsun Zhan only glanced at it, and quickly solved the problem, and told Mao Zong the way to solve this kind of problem, which made Mao Zong scream and admire.
Liu Xiu listened on the side and didn't say anything. With Gongsun Zhan's previous talents, and his experience in working in the Taishou Mansion, it is certainly not difficult to solve such a problem. Although the education of the Han Dynasty is not yet compared with the popularization of compulsory education in later generations, it can be regarded as a rough scale, state-owned schools, county schools, and scripture teachers, which is considered a relatively advanced education, and the county has a Zhen, gathering in an orderly manner, and the level is slightly lower, although it is not as formal as the school, but there are a lot of them, not to mention that there are also many private schools in various places. Arithmetic is not a serious science, and literacy, it belongs to the category of enlightenment, as long as you have studied for a few days, you know a little bit of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and the question that Mao Zong took should be from the book "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
However, for Liu Xiu, who has experienced more or less higher education, knowledge like "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is only equivalent to the level of a primary school student, at best, it is a junior high school, and it is not something to be proud of, he just doesn't want to attract too much attention, so he pretends not to understand. For Gongsun Zhan to solve this question, although he is complimenting, he is really insincere.
Gongsun Chan glanced at him, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
