Chapter 9: School Field Arrows

It is said that Zhou Dong gave the iron bow to Yue Fei, Yue Fei was ecstatic, he pulled the iron bow three times in a row, and Zhou Tong nodded frequently.

Yue Fei took the iron bow and the clothes given by Zhou Tong and went home to see his mother, and explained everything, and his mother-in-law was very happy to hear it. She remade clothes for Yue Fei overnight. The next day, Zhou Tong was reading a book in the study, and suddenly Tang Huai walked in happily, and the wearer was dressed up in a new look. Zhou Tong saw Tang Huai wearing a white scarf on his head, embroidered with a big red peony flower on his top, wearing a plain white robe, wearing a red embroidered velvet shoulder, big red sleeves on both sides, a silver soft belt tied around his waist, and black oil foundation boots on his feet, looking majestic.

"Sir, is it good to go to the county to take a small test and dress up like this?" Tang Huai asked proudly.

"Very good, really heroic." Zhou Tong said approvingly.

"Sir, my father invites you to come to the house for dinner tomorrow, and then go to the county together." Tang Huai said.

"I appreciate your kindness. Tomorrow everyone will meet at the school grounds. Zhou Tong politely refused.

After Tang Huai left, Zhang Xian walked in with great interest, he wore a green satin scarf, also embroidered with a peony flower, wore a green satin embroidered robe, red shoulders, red sleeves, tied with soft gold belt, and wore silver bottom green satin boots.

"Sir, do you see this dress?" Zhang Xian asked.

"Yes, like a martial artist. Apprentice, you go back and tell Ling Zun, you don't have to wait for me tomorrow, everyone will meet at the school field. Zhou Dong commanded.

Zhang Xian said yes and walked out, just went out, and met Wang Gui with a full heart. Wang Gui also came to ask Mr. to see if his outfit was okay.

Zhou Tong looked at Wang Gui carefully, and saw that he was wearing a red robe, a big red envelope on his head, a big red shoulder, a big red sleeve, a red soft belt around his waist, and golden satin boots on his feet.

"What do you think, sir?" Wang Gui asked.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Your outfit just reflects your flushed face, just right. Apprentice, you said that you will go to the city with your father, you don't have to wait for me, I will eat at your eldest brother-in-law's house, and go into the city with him and meet you on the school field. Zhou Tong said.

Zhang Xian and Wang Gui had already left, and Zhou Tong was going to be quiet for a while, but who knew that Yue Fei walked in again.

"Godfather, the child will enter the city tomorrow, is it okay to dress up like this?" Yue Fei asked.

"Fei'er, there's really no way to do it right now, you just have some! I have already made an agreement with the three of them, and I will meet them at the school yard. Tomorrow morning, I will go to your house for dinner and go into the city with you. Zhou Tong said.

Yue Fei was flattered when he heard this, and said in his mouth: "Godfather can afford the child and go to the child's house to eat, but the child's family is poor and there is no good food to entertain." ”

"It's all my own family, whatever." Zhou Tong smiled.

Early in the morning of the fifteenth, Zhou Tong came over, he dined with Yue Fei, after eating, the two got up and went out, and the mother-in-law went out to see each other off, and repeatedly told Yue Fei.

It is said that Zhou Dong rode the jujube red horse delivered by the king and walked in front, followed by Yue Fei, hurrying all the way, and finally arrived at the school at noon.

The first time Yue Fei went out, everything felt novel, and when he came to the school, he looked left and right, but he saw a sea of people, the shouting of small merchants and vendors who bought and sold was endless, and the tea shed and wine shops could be seen everywhere, so it was not lively. Zhou Tong came to the door of the tea shed, tied the horse to the tree in front of the door, and walked into the tea shed, where the father and son sat on the side, drinking tea and looking out. It didn't take long for the three outsiders to walk into the school with their relatives and friends in the city. Wang Yuanwai instructed the family to look for Zhou Tong and Yue Fei, and the family took the order and left, suddenly, the family saw the jujube red horse at the door of the tea shed and recognized that it was given to Mr. Zhou by the master, so he walked into the tea shed, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Dong and Yue Fei drinking tea.

"Mr. Zhou, it turns out that you are here, and our lord asked me to come and find you to have dinner together at noon." Jia Ding said.

"Go back and report to your master, this is not a place to eat and drink, since they are here, just eat, don't take care of us." Zhou Tong excused himself.

After the family went back to report, the three little heroes came together and invited Zhou Tong and Brother Yue to dine together.

Zhou Tong said to the three apprentices: "You go over there, and when your name is called later, you will go up, and if the county lord asks about your eldest brother-in-law, you will say that he will come after walking."

"Teacher, why don't you ask Brother Yue to go up with us?" Wang Gui asked.

"'It's not that I don't agree to go up, but your eldest brother-in-law's bow and arrow are all hard guys, and if he competes with you, then he won't be able to show your ability. Therefore, I told him to take another test. Zhou Tong explained. The three of them listened, understood, said goodbye to Mr., returned to the big wine shed, and told the teachers what they said, and the outsiders listened and praised Zhou Tong and Yue Fei even more.

In a short time, the martial arts children from various towns rushed to the school grounds, most of them were children of rich families, neatly dressed and gorgeous, with tall horses and bright and dazzling saddle bridles. Poor and rich in martial arts, these children of rich families, all want to win the small test so that they can enter the capital to win fame.

In the school grounds, there are crowds of people, and the noise is endless.

After a while, I saw the county lord Li Chun riding a horse to the school with a group of officials, got off the horse, and went straight to the martial arts hall to sit down.

Li Chun stood on it, looked at the martial arts boys who were going to take the exam around him, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "If I can select a good protégé today, when I enter Beijing and win the middle school, my face will also be bright." ”

Li Chun drank a cup of tea, the scribe sent the roster, Li Chun looked at the roster, according to the order of the name, one by one, the ordered martial arts boys came up one by one to practice, first compare archery, and then look at the bow horse. At this time, in the martial arts hall, only the sound of "sneering" arrows could be heard, and the sound was endless, Zhou Dong listened to it and smiled slightly.

"Godfather, why do you laugh when you hear the arrows?" Yue Fei asked puzzled.

"Child, do you know that those martial arts boys shoot arrows, and every arrow misses, and they only hear the sound of bows and arrows, but they don't hear the sound of drums, so they laugh."

Yue Fei listened to it and understood what his godfather meant, and he was naturally a little happy in his heart.

After a while, the county lord called the names of Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui brothers, and Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui walked up in response.

"Why didn't Yue Fei come?" The county lord asked.

"Master, Brother Yue only has no money to buy a horse because his family is poor, he walked to the county, and then arrived." Zhang Xian said.

"Alright! Then the three of you will take the written test first. Yue Fei then tried again. The county lord said.

"Thank you, county master." The three of them spoke in unison.

At the beginning of the competition, the three brothers each took out the skills taught by their masters, and played them calmly, and as soon as the arrow left the string, they could only hear the sound of drums. There were bursts of cheers in the school grounds.

The county lord was so unhappy when he saw that the three young men were young and promising, so he immediately selected the three of them.

"Master, we are just lacking people, my eldest brother Yue Fei's ability is amazing." Wang Gui said.

When Li Chun heard this, he admired Yue Fei even more.

"Next, Yue Fei of Qilin Village—" The county lord shouted.

"Yue Fei has arrived!" Yue Fei responded to the voice, and the sound arrived.

Li Chun took a closer look at Yue Fei, but saw that he was lofty, with a strong physique, and an awe-inspiring righteousness between his eyebrows.

"Let's start-" Li Chun gave an order, Yue Fei took out an iron bow, stood on the stake, and with all his strength, he fired nine tailed arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the bull's eye.

When everyone saw Yue Fei firing nine arrows in a row, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
