And Shi Yiguang, who is accustomed to modern bows and arrows, always habitually puts down the focus when using bows and arrows in this era, but every time she puts down a little, the bow in her hand is a little incompatible, so she has to spend more effort than ordinary people every time she shoots an arrow.
"It's a good fit." Shi Yiguang smiled on his face, turned around and handed the bow in his hand to Ban'er: "Your eyesight is also good, and you can also see the strength and weakness of my archery." โ
"That is, I have been making a bow for seven or eight years, not to mention archery, just by seeing someone draw a bow, you can know the habit and strength of the person who draws the bow." Ban'er said proudly while taking the bow handed by Shi Yiguang.
Ban'er is only about ten years old, but he has been making a bow for seven or eight years, which Shi Yiguang did not expect.
The corners of Shi Yiguang's mouth hooked up a slight smile, looking at the half of the bow who lowered his head again, and the braid was thrown behind his head, and he was still tied with a red silk silk. She was in a better mood and teased: "Your bow, can you make a gentleman?" โ
"If it's better than Mr., it's not much worse." Ban'er didn't look back, just replied proudly while doing it.
"Besides, sir doesn't make bows now. I didn't do it for many years. Ban'er added: "After the last bow was made, it was pressed in the box, and it has not been done for many years." โ
Shi Yiguang listened to Ban'er's words, looked at Ban'er who was buried in his head, turned his head, looked at the sky outside the window, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
After a moment, Shi Yiguang turned around and walked towards the outside of the house. He said softly, "I'm going to practice archery first." โ
"Hmm." Ban'er answered softly behind him, then stopped the bow he was grinding, straightened up, looked at Shi Yiguang's figure walking out of the door, raised his hand and touched his head, and then lowered his head and continued to grind.
Shi Yiguang didn't come here too early to practice archery, and it took most of the hour to practice. When Ban'er brought the rice bran paste to Shi Yiguang, she was already sweating profusely.
She took half of the rice cereal and looked at Chen Yin's room: "Is Mr. still in the house?" Shi Yiguang drank the rice bran paste and handed the porcelain mustache in his hand to Ban'er.
Ban'er took the porcelain mustache and nodded: "I'll come over soon, and Mr. is still stunned inside." โ
As he spoke, Ban'er turned around and walked towards the outside of the school grounds.
Shi Yiguang turned around and began to practice arrows again.
She pulled her bow and arrows, pointed at the two circles of cinnabar thread on the cloth arrow, pulled the bow, her eyes narrowed, and an arrow shot out. Then it landed firmly on the second circle line on the top of the cloth arrow.
A practice is a morning. When Shi Yiguang finished practicing, Chen Yin was still in his room, writing something on a piece of cloth.
Shi Yiguang first stood outside Chen Yin's house, looked inside, and then raised his feet and walked to the half-room.
"Has the gentleman been in the house all morning?" Shi Yiguang walked into Ban'er's room and asked.
Ban'er raised his head, glanced at Shi Yiguang who walked in, said 'um', lowered his head again, and carved it with the sharp knife in his hand.
Shi Yiguang leaned over, glanced at the exquisite patterns carved on the bow and arrows, and then straightened up again, turned around and walked towards Chen Yin's house next door.
Shi Yiguang walked to the door of Chen Yin's house, first raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Hearing the voice, Chen Yin raised his head, glanced at Shi Yiguang, and then put away the cloth that was being written in his hand.
Shi Yiguang walked in, knelt on the cushion opposite Chen Yin's desk, thought for a while, and then said, "Sir, today's practice has been completed, and I am going home." โ
Chen Yin looked at Shi Yiguang opposite, first pursed his lips and was silent, and then nodded.
Seeing this, Shi Yiguang leaned over and saluted Chen Yin, then got up and prepared to walk outside.
After taking two steps, Chen Yin behind him said in a loud voice: "Wait." โ
Shi Yiguang stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Yin behind him, and did not speak.
Chen Yin looked at Shi Yiguang, who was standing opposite the case, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "You sit down, I have something to tell you." โ
Shi Yiguang raised his eyebrows. Then he turned around, walked to the futon, and sat down. Wait for Chen Yin to speak.
After seeing Shi Yiguang sit down, Chen Yin didn't speak at first, but only picked up the tea tripod from the tea pot on the side, picked the tea with a teaspoon and put it in the tea tripod, added water, put it on the tea stove, and boiled it.
Chen Yin didn't speak, and Shi Yiguang didn't say either. She only knelt opposite Chen Yin and watched her slowly make tea.
The fire on the tea stove was blazing, and the water began to boil. Chen Yin pinched the tea handkerchief and picked up the ear of the tea tripod, and gently poured it into the tea dock on the side.
After washing the tea, I poured the snow water that was stored in the winter and slowly boiled it.
Hojicha is a boring and slow process for people who are in acuteness. But fortunately, as long as Shi Yiguang is willing, her patience is also first-class.
She sat opposite Chen Yin, watching Chen Yin boiling tea little by little, after a long time, the tea was cooked, Chen Yin pinched the tea cloth and held the tea tripod, poured it into the tea pot, and put down the tea tripod.
picked up the teapot and put it in front of Shi Yiguang.
Generally, boiling tea in this way is not to entertain distinguished guests, but to enjoy life very leisurely.
Chen Yin's appearance today is obviously not very idle, and Shi Yiguang, as a student, is obviously not a distinguished guest.
Shi Yiguang couldn't understand what Chen Yin was going to do, so he didn't ask at all, so he naturally picked up the teapot in front of him, held the edge of the porcelain cup in one hand and the saucer in the other, and took a sip.
At the entrance of the tea, Shi Yiguang frowned at first, then stretched out, took another sip, and then put down the tea jar in his hand, looked at Chen Yin, and said, "The tea cooked by Mr. is really delicious." โ
It's just a little bitter. Shi Yiguang added in his heart. She has never liked to drink bitter tea. In fact, to put it bluntly, she doesn't know how to taste tea at all.
It's just to see Chen Yin's tea brewed so solemnly, if he says that he can't drink it at all, it will be too shameless.
Chen Yin glanced at her, and also took the tea in front of him, took a sip gently, and then nodded, and then put down the tea pot.
"After mid-spring, I'm leaving." Chen Yin put down the tea pot in his hand and said softly.
Shi Yiguang was holding the tea and preparing to give Chen Yin two more sips of face, when he heard the words, his movements stopped, and then he put down the tea pot in his hand and looked at Chen Yin opposite.
"Leave? Where to go? Shi Yiguang looked at Chen Yin and asked.
Chen Yin looked at Shi Yiguang and did not answer, but said: "Recently, looking at your archery skills, you can already be on your own, in the past, Sun Changqing entrusted you to me, just so that you can have a skill in the Chu State, and it will not be dangerous to be alone." โ
Chen Yin said, paused, and said, "Now that Sun Changqing has always thought too much. With your ability, you can be safe without me. โ
