Chapter 8: Zhou Tong presents a bow

Zhangba spear in hand, iron bow carved under the armpit. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and famous teachers have set the world.

It is said that Zhou Tong said goodbye to his old friend and went down the mountain and returned to the school, and he was very happy. He instructed Wang Gui, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and others to set up bows and arrows to practice shooting, and teach marksmanship to Yue Fei.

The four brothers shoot bows and arrows in the open field every day, and dance with swords and swords.

One day, Zhou Tong gathered the four brothers together and asked one by one, "Wang Gui, what martial arts do you want to learn?" Wang Gui replied: "The disciple still wants to use the big knife to enjoy it, wave the big knife, the tiger is vigorous, the knife cuts down, and killing the enemy is like chopping melons and vegetables." If you cut from morning to night, you don't know how many enemies you will kill. Zhou Dong saw that Wang Gui liked big knives and was a brave man, so he passed on his big knife skills.

"Tang Huai, what weapons do you like?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Disciples like to use guns, just like Brother Yue." Tang Huai said.

"Good! I'll teach you marksmanship. Zhou Tong agreed.

"Zhang Xian, what weapons do you like?" Zhou Tong asked.

"The disciple likes to use the gun, but I want to put a hook on the head of the gun, if a shot is stabbed, and if it is overdone, the hook and sickle can be hooked, and I will not miss." Zhang Xian said.

"Alright! I'll draw you a sketch of an ancient hook and sickle, and you can take it home and ask your father to go to the blacksmith's shop to make it. When it's done, I'll call you hook and sickle. ”

As for Yue Fei, with the spear in his hand, and the old monk's military calligraphy and marksmanship to teach, Zhou Tong did his best to teach Yue Fei all the skills he had learned in his life.

Since then, it has been said that it is both written and martial arts.

Zhou Tong vowed to train Yue Fei into a useful talent, and his skills surpassed those of Lu Junyi and Lin Chong's two apprentices. His first two apprentices were killed by Annihilator, and he hoped that Yue Fei would have a good future.

Yue Fei is a young man, with extraordinary courage and talent, and an inexhaustible force, Zhou Tong can't wait to pass on what he has learned in his life to this son of a moth.

But said that one day, Zhou Tong and the three staff members were chatting in the courtyard, and suddenly the chief came forward to give a salute: "The three staff members and Zhou Lao Hero are here, and the villain has something to say: Yesterday, the text was written, and the fifteenth day of this month was to take a small test in the county teaching field, and the villain saw that the four little heroes were all apprentices of Zhou Lao Hero, and they must have worked extraordinary, so they reported their names." On the fifteenth day of this month, four little heroes will enter the city, and I am here to inform you, and I hope you will prepare early. ”

"How are you going to be here, why didn't you notify us in advance of such an important matter? They are all young, how can they see that kind of scene? Wang Yuanwai blamed.

"Forget it! Now that the name has been sent, it's useless to blame. Although the four of them are young, they can still try their martial arts. Zhou Tong said.

When the people heard this, they had no choice but to give up and go home to get ready.

It is said that Zhou Tong walked into the school hall and said to Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui: "Apprentices, on the fifteenth day of this month, you are going to enter the county town for a small test, and you will go back to prepare for the things to be applied, and then you will set off." ”

Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui took the order and left, but Yue Fei was depressed.

"Fei'er, what's wrong with you? I didn't go back to discuss with my mother, and I went to the city to take the exam. Zhou Tong asked.

"Godfather Rongyu, the three brothers are all rich families, and they all go to prepare bow and horse clothes, but my family is poor, I don't have money to buy these things, and the clothes are shabby. Yue Fei said embarrassedly.

Zhou Tong understood Yue Fei's thoughts, nodded and said, "The child is reasonable, don't worry, these things have already been thought of for you." Come with me! Zhou Tong said, took Yue Fei to his bedroom, opened the box, took out a half-new and half-old white robe, a big red brocade, a big red luan belt, put it on the table, and said: "Son, these are all prepared for you a long time ago for your father, take it back and ask Lingtang to change a battle robe according to your figure, make a turban, make a shoulder, a pair of sleeves, and a big red luan belt, and use it to bind your body." As for the horse, it is for the Father's horse that you will ride. Yue Fei listened to his godfather's careful arrangement and was grateful.

"Godfather, if it is better than a gun to participate in the scientific examination in the city, my Zhangba spear can show its skills, if it is better than a bow and arrow, I ......" Yue Fei wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhou Tong understands that the three of them can buy bows and arrows, only Yue Fei has no money to buy them, if they participate in the competition, how can they play if they don't have the right guys?

"Fei'er, there is a good bow for the teacher, I originally planned to give it to you when you grow up and pull it, but now since you can't find a good bow and arrow that you like, then you should try it first. This is a good bow that has been handed down for hundreds of years, made of pure iron, and it cannot be opened without two hundred catties of strength. But I wonder if you can pull it? If you can pull it, I will give it to you as a teacher, if you can't pull it, I will give it to you when you grow up and pull it. Zhou Tong said.

Yue Fei was ecstatic when he heard this, he was eager to try, it can really be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Godfather, where is the Iron Bow? You might as well take it out for the child to see. Yue Fei asked impatiently.

Zhou Tong saw Yue Fei's eager look, so he had no choice but to take out the iron bow hanging on the back of the tent and hand it to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei took the iron bow, looked at it carefully, weighed the weight of the iron bow, and then tried to pull it.

"Fei'er, this iron bow is not an ordinary bow, it can't be pulled without innate divine power. Back then, when Emperor Taizu opened the country, he got this iron bow, and the only people who could open this bow were the old Linggong Yang Jiye and General Huyan. Later, after the Yang generals and the Hu family were killed by the annihilated ministers, this bow was collected by the military general Zong Ze. Zong Ze had a deep friendship with the teacher, and he gave it to the teacher. The teacher is now an old man and can't pull the bow anymore, so the teacher decided to give it to you as a special gift for the father to the son! Zhou Tong said with emotion.

When Yue Fei heard this, he was very moved, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Tong to thank him: "Godfather's great kindness, Yue Fei will never forget, if the godfather needs a child, the child is not ambiguous, and he will definitely do it for his godfather." ”

"Fei'er, get up and speak, my father is now old and can't always be by his side, the man is fighting for fame and serving the country. As a Father, I believe that you will live up to expectations. I have a wish for my father, and I hope you will help him achieve it in the future. ”

"Godfather, if you have any wishes, just say it! The child will help you do it. Yue Fei said.

"After a hundred years, I hope that the bones you can grasp will be buried next to the Liquan Cave in Liquan Mountain, and you will change the feng shui there." Zhou Tong said.

Yue Fei listened and was very grateful, and he readily agreed to Zhou Tong's request.

"Fei'er, what do you think of this iron bow? Can you show it to the father? Zhou Tong asked.

Yue Fei nodded, stood up, exerted all his strength, and pulled the bow and string three times, only to hear the three sounds of "poof, poof, poof", Zhou Dong saw it, smiled and nodded frequently.
