Chapter 53: Threading the Needle
Feng Xiying waited for Du Yue at the inn the next day as agreed.
In the afternoon, Du Yue entered the inn with the support of Xiaocuo.
Feng Xiying was about to lose patience when she waited, and when Xiao Er led them into the room, Feng Xiying hurriedly asked, "Why did you come so late?" ”
Du Yue still smiled faintly: "It took some time to prepare the props. ”
"There are even props? Is it a knife or a sword? Feng Xiying immediately became interested when she heard this.
Du Yue smiled and took out a needle from his arms.
Feng Xiying looked at those crooked and strangely shaped needles, and wondered: "I took it wrong, right?" ”
Du Yue smiled and took out a line, "That's right." ”
"Isn't it learning martial arts? What do you do with a needle and thread? Feng Xiying couldn't understand it anymore.
"Miss Feng, learning martial arts is not only about the output of violence, but also about teaching students according to their aptitude many times." Du Yue explained patiently.
"I understand this, but what does it have to do with needlework?" Feng Xiying felt that her thinking couldn't keep up.
"Miss Feng didn't have a foundation in martial arts before, and she was petite, ordinary fist and foot kung fu is not suitable for you, as long as you learn some self-defense tricks in the short term." After Du Yue finished speaking, he grabbed the needle in his hand and spread it out.
Although Feng Xiying felt that he was reasonable, she still didn't understand.
Du Yue didn't say anything anymore, picked up the thread in his hand, and began to thread it against the needle he was holding in his other hand.
To Feng Xiying's shock, although Du Yue couldn't see it, he quickly threaded all those needles on a thread.
The location of the pinhole is different for each one, and the shape is also different from the normal needle, but Du Yue still wears it without falling to the ground.
Feng Xiying looked at it in surprise with her mouth wide open, then raised her hand and waved it in front of Du Yue's eyes.
"Miss Feng, don't doubt it, I really can't see it." Du Yue smiled and stopped Feng Xiying's movements.
"How can you get the thread in if you can't see it?" Feng Xiying thought it was amazing.
"For people with delicate bodies, a high degree of sensitivity and accurate judgment are the most important. If you rely on strength alone, you are not as good as a person with a strong body, and once you face it, you will definitely lose, so only by grasping the shortcomings of the opponent can you have the possibility of winning. Du Yue said the truth.
Feng Xiying nodded frequently when she heard this, "Then why do you want to thread the needle?" ”
"Miss Feng, don't underestimate this, you need to be calm and steady in your hands to thread a needle, and it is not difficult to wear one, but it is difficult to thread several needles in a row, and the eye of the needle is so changeable." Du Yue pulled out the thread and handed the needle to Feng Xiying.
Feng Xiying looked at the needle in her hand: "Then what does this have to do with sensitivity and judgment?" ”
"The thin thread through the eye of the needle itself is a delicate work, the smaller the thing, the more mental concentration is required, in this case, the sensitivity will naturally become higher, as for the judgment is because the position of the needle eye is different, each through the needle eye needs to immediately determine the position of the next needle, so as to control the direction of the thread, so as to complete." Du Yue is still very patient.
After hearing this, Feng Xiying suspiciously picked up a thread and began to wear it, the first needle eye quickly passed through, but the second needle eye was in the lower position, and Feng Xiying wanted to pass through the needle eye line but kept upturning.
I didn't agree to drop two needles before passing through the second needle's eye.
Du Yue smiled and pressed down the needle in Feng Xiying's hand, "Miss Feng, not a single needle can be dropped." ”
"How do you fit this?" Feng Xiying tried it herself, only to find that it was too difficult.
"Miss Feng, don't worry, needle threading is not something that can be practiced in a day, and when you can pass five needles at once, you can learn the rest." After Du Yue finished speaking, he stood up.
Feng Xiying stood up, "So I'm practicing needle threading these days?" ”
Du Yue nodded, and Xiao Cuo hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "When Miss Feng has finished practicing, she can go to the previous broken temple to find me." ”
After bidding farewell to Du Yue, Feng Xiying returned to the table and looked at the needlework a little confused, but still grabbed it and tried again.
For a few days in a row, Feng Xiying basically forgot to sleep and eat, and finally passed the five needles through at once.
Feng Xiying was so excited that her hand holding the needle was trembling slightly.
In the past few days, Feng Xiying has collapsed countless times, so angry that she can't put the needle on her body and fix it before wearing it, and she wanted to give up several times, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted.
When she passed through the third needle, Feng Xiying found that her hand was much more stable, and her mentality was not as impetuous as before.
When she passed through the four needle holes for the first time, Feng Xiying found that she seemed to understand what Du Yue meant by the direction of the control line.
Having finally successfully passed through the five needles today, Feng Xiying felt that she had stepped towards the path of a martial arts master.
Feng Xiying pulled out the thread and wore it again.
The speed was still slow, but this time it worked.
Feng Xiying changed five more needles, failed the first time, slowed down the second time, and finally passed through.
I tried several times with different needles, and finally all of them succeeded.
Feng Xiying put the needle on the table, turned around and went back to the bed and fell down.
Recently, I've been dreaming for a few days, and I can finally get a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Feng Xiying went to the broken temple to find Du Yue.
When I went in, Xiaocuo was not there, only Du Yue was alone.
"Du Gongzi, I'm here." Feng Xiying walked as she walked.
"Miss Feng is here, a day earlier than I thought." Du Yue stood up and said.
"You also counted the time I came?" Feng Xiying was very curious about Du Yue's words.
"Miss Feng also seems to be a person with perseverance, and she will definitely be able to complete it, but she didn't expect to work so hard." Du Yue smiled.
Feng Xiying admired this Du Yue a little, he had never seen himself, but he could still know his character to some extent, and he was indeed a master.
"Miss Feng sit down first, Xiaocuo went to buy breakfast, wait a little and eat together." Du Yue made a gesture of invitation to Feng Xiying, and sat down on the stool again.
Feng Xiying sat directly on the haystack and looked around the broken temple, "The previous silver is not enough, why don't you change to a better residence?" ”
Du Yue still smiled lightly, "I'm used to living here, and it's safe." ”
Feng Xiying listened and looked back at the gate that had been kicked by herself before, turned her head and said to Du Yue: "Why don't I ask someone to repair the door?" ”
Du Yue shook his head, "That's good." ”
Feng Xiying felt that the more he spoke, the more strange it became, and he always felt that there was something in his words.
Xiao Cuo ran in with a few buns in his arms, and when he saw that Feng Xiying was also there, he hurriedly took out a bun from his arms and handed it to her first.
Feng Xiying waved her hand, "I've eaten it, you can eat it." ”
"Childe, buns." Xiao Cuo was not polite, and handed the bun to Du Yue.
Du Yue stretched out his hand to take it, and Xiao Cuo sat down next to him and took a bun and began to eat.
Feng Xiying looked at Du Yue's eating appearance, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Du Gongzi used to be a rich and noble family?" ”
Du Yue still had a smile on his face, but he didn't speak.
Feng Xiying turned her head again and asked Xiao Cuo, "What did you do before?" ”
Xiao Cuo swallowed the bun before saying, "Childe said, eat without words, sleep without speaking." ”
Feng Xiying pursed her lips a little bored, so she could only sit and watch them finish eating.
Du Yue wiped the corners of his mouth before he said to Feng Xiying: "Miss Feng, since you have been able to successfully pass through the five needles, then we can start the next step." ”
Feng Xiying was very happy to hear this, stood up and hurriedly asked, "What are you studying today?" ”
"Piercing." Du Yue smiled lightly.
