Chapter Twenty-Nine: Spectator Psychology, Range Techniques
"Look, look! The young master of the Xu family is on the field! There's going to be a good show! ”
"I watched the jokes of the Guo family just now, and now I can watch the jokes of the Xu family!"
Outside the shooting range, the onlookers were not talking about high scores such as Wu Yi and Lei Laohu, but the foreign faces of the landlords' sons.
"At that time, if the son of the Xu family doesn't hit the target with an arrow, I must remember that it will be 5 years in the future!"
"Which one says 5 years? I'm going to tell my grandson! ”
These peasants were all frowning, and they were very interested in watching the landlord's son eat deflated. On weekdays, they live in hardship and have many resentful landlords, but they don't have an outlet, but today thanks to Xu Wenshan's feat, they can pour out everything they dare not say on weekdays.
They knew that they could only do this in their lives, and if nothing else, even their grandchildren would be like them, eating weeds and chaff every day, and working for the grandchildren of the landlord's family.
Therefore, they are very happy to prove that there is no essential difference between themselves and the landlord, and the landlord is even inferior to themselves in some aspects.
But at this point, a discordant voice broke their coziness.
"Hmph, a bunch of people who don't understand arrows, but they only know how to talk nonsense here."
It was Li Siliu who spoke.
A young man couldn't help but be angry, and said, "Uncle Li, you know arrows, why don't you go to the competition?" But they only know that we are spoken of here. ”
Li Siliu said quietly: "I know that I will be defeated, why do I have to go up and be embarrassed?" ”
The young man said proudly: "Then you are not a gutless rat?" ”
Li Siliu said: "I have been hunting for twenty or thirty years, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of times I have opened a bow, have you ever touched a bow?" I'm a rat, what are you? ”
These words made the young man speechless.
An old man next to him played a round and said, "Okay, okay, let's say a few words." Four-six, we haven't touched the bow and arrow, I don't understand, you give comments and comment scenes, let us also have a long experience? ”
When these words were spoken, the people around them echoed them. Although Li Siliu has a straight temperament, he is not a person who is not willing to share in the field of bows and arrows, so he seriously commented on it.
"This competition can be said to have brought out the bottom of our old hunters, and we lost completely. Not to mention Xu Wenshan, even if it is compared to the hunters of other villages, our hunters are all defeated. ”
As soon as Li Siliu's words came out, the people around him frowned, although this time, the old hunters didn't score well, but didn't everyone score very low? Why do you want to destroy your own ambition like this and increase the prestige of others?
"You don't believe me?" Li Siliu smiled, "Look at this time, who are the people who got the high scores?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, but they really didn't pay attention to who got the high score.
"One is Wu Yi from another village, and the other is Lei Laohu, who recently moved over. Neither of these people is the Orion of Luhegou, and their bow skills are all learned outside. Li Siliu said.
After a pause, Li Siliu said, "We are far worse than others." ”
There was silence for a while. They knew that Li Siliu was telling the truth.
……
"If you get those 5 times, how will you use them?" Wu Yi looked at Lei Laohu with a smile and said.
In the "Athletes' Lounge", the emotions of the archers were not as high as when they came, and they couldn't hold their heads up.
The only two high-spirited ones here are Wu Yi and Lei Laohu.
Their scores are 40 and 46 respectively.
After confirming the competitive relationship with each other, Wu Yi took the initiative to talk to Lei Laohu.
Lei Laohu glanced at Wu Yi and said, "What?" Gave up? ”
Wu Yi still smiled and said, "How can you give up?" For the sake of these 5 yuan, I even married my wife. I just want to see how much you want that 5 bucks. Anyway, if you really have 5 yuan of money, what do you want to do? ”
Lei Laohu said: "It's nothing, I just want to go home." ”
"You can go home whenever you want. Where are you from? Is your hometown far away? ”
"Well, far away. What about you? What would you do if you had 5 dollars? ”
Wu Yi was silent for a while and said:
"I'll kill someone."
Lei Lao Hu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said:
"You can kill whenever you want."
……
"You talk so badly about people from other villages, so why don't you compete yourself? You're the number one archer in Luhegou! Someone said to Li Siliu.
Li Siliu said: "Don't call me the first archer in Luhegou, I've never been." ”
"Then who is the first archer in Luhegou?"
Li Siliu said:
"Xu Wenshan."
"Who?"
"Xu Wenshan. The young master of the Xu family, Xu, Wen, and Shan. ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, wanting to laugh, but found that they couldn't laugh, because Li Siliu's expression seemed to be serious.
"Xu Wenshan? You said that the young master of the Xu family? Is he the first bow of the deer crane? ”
Li Siliu nodded: "I don't need to lie to you." ”
"I think you're old fool," said the young man, "how can you talk nonsense?" If he is the first to bow to the deer crane, I will eat all the in our dung pit! ”
……
"All in place, ready!"
Ah Fa glanced at the "athletes" on the arrow platform, and when he saw his young master, his heart was slightly nervous.
"Let's go!"
When Li Dazhuang started archery, there were no more superfluous things in his heart, Xu Wenshan, the first archer, 5,000 yuan, these things are not important, only the target and the bow and arrow in his hand are important.
First arrow! It's on target, but it's a little crooked, about 6 rings.
Second Arrow! This time it's good, it's closer to the center.
The third arrow! Fourth Arrow!
……
Li Dazhuang practiced the shooting range for many days, and gradually discovered the difference between the bow and arrow at the shooting range and the bow and arrow in the mountains and forests.
When hunting in the mountains, accuracy is important, but what is more important is reaction, speed, calmness, and judgment. Prey is mobile, and it is necessary to anticipate the prey's movements, and at the same time, be calm to ensure that the arrow hits the target.
And the archery in the shooting range is only accurate.
Accuracy! Accuracy! Nothing but accuracy! This is the archery of the shooting range.
Does this mean that archery at the shooting range is not as good as hunting archery? Not.
Because a person who trains at the shooting range only needs to go up the mountain a few times and have a general grasp of the habits of the prey, he can open a bow to hunt, but the hunters who mix in the mountains all day long cannot compare their bow skills to those who practice at the shooting range in any way.
Because hunters who hunt spend more time in the day searching and waiting, there are not many opportunities to open the bow. Hunters generally cherish their arrows and do not shoot extra arrows.
And archery is always a sport that requires a lot of practice, practicing archery at the shooting range, you don't need to think about superfluous things, you just need to shoot, so at the end of the day, the number of times you open the bow is much higher than that of hunters, and natural archery improves faster than hunters.
And these hunters, because of their arrogance, thought that they were superb in archery, and completely disdained to understand what archery was like.
So, you can't lose.
"Shoot it! Start scoring! ”
