Chapter 18: The Wounded Girl
"Wow!" Wen Jing exclaimed and applauded warmly, and Shu Yu also screamed in a low voice.
On a high-speed horse, you can instantly balance and shoot arrows, and you can even hit hearts! I can't see that this old man is really a master......
Shuge slowed down and trotted over, his face full of excitement and triumph. Obviously, this arrow can be regarded as a super-level performance for him.
Shu Yu looked up at him and said with some admiration: "Mr. Xiuge, may I ask how long it took you to practice to this extent?" ”
Xiuge handsomely turned over and dismounted, handed the bow to Shu Yu, motioned for him to pull it, and said: "When I was twenty-four years old, I saw a picture in a book and decided to practice this method of riding and archery...... Now I'm sixty-six years old. ”
"Sixty-six!" Shu Yu and Wen Jing exclaimed together, and Wen Jing said sincerely: "I really didn't see it!" I thought you weren't even fifty! ”
Shu Yu made a bitter face: "I started practicing at the age of twenty-four, and I practiced so well at the age of sixty-six, it took more than forty years!" ”
Xiuge smiled: "If you don't work hard, how can you have gains!" ”
While speaking, Shu Yu took the bow from Xiuge's hand, felt heavy, opened the bow and pulled it, and it took a lot of effort to round it.
Xiuge's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I can't see it, Wenwen is weak, but he has a lot of strength!" ”
"Is it hard to pull?" Hearing Xiuge say this, Wen Jing took the bow curiously. Xiuge smiled and reminded: "Be careful, take it easy, don't cut your hands!" But it didn't stop it.
Wen Jing was very obedient, and after only trying it, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and looked at Shu Yu with a little more admiration.
Shu Yu himself felt that it was a little difficult to pull, but in Xiuge's opinion, this strength was really big enough! You must know that Shu Yu did not step down to the waist, but used the strength of his arms flatly, and pulled out this big bow! Xiu Ge estimated that even he might not have this strength!
Xiuge smiled and said, "You may not be able to shoot on horseback, but you can try shooting when you are standing!" Shu Yu was also interested when he heard this, and he followed Xiuge to a place about seventy meters away from the target, and Xiuge asked, "Can you see the bull's-eye clearly?" ”
In regular competitions, a scope is usually used, so the shooting distance will be relatively long, but if you only use the naked eye, it may feel blurry at this distance. Xiuge brought him over to see it, just to let him experience the difference between the two.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yu nodded and said, "I can see it clearly, it's very clear." ”
Xiuge was stunned for a moment again and asked, "Very clear?" ”
Shu Yu nodded and said, "I have good eyesight and hearing since I was a child. ”
He is right, this may also be the benefit of long-term training, the mind is clear, and he has a much more acute sense of everything around him than the average person.
After obtaining that mysterious heart, his senses were even more sensitive, let alone seventy meters, even if it was a little farther away, it would be delicate to him.
Xiuge thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of ability are you?" ”
Hearing this question, Wen Jing immediately felt a little uneasy, she timidly took a step back, looked at Xiuge, and then at Shu Yu. Shu Yu was very calm, he was only stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "I am a non-evolutionary. ”
Although his face was very calm, the moment he said it, he also looked at Xiuge's expression more attentively. To his surprise, Xiuge looked blank and said nonchalantly: "Born like this, amazing!" ”
His attitude towards Shu Yu and Wen Jing did not change in the slightest, and he led Shu Yu to a distance of about fifty meters from the target, and began to teach him to shoot a bow and arrows hand in hand.
Shu Yu's first arrow was 108,000 miles away when it was shot, not to mention that he didn't touch the target, and he almost startled the horse. Xiuge's precious horse was almost shot, and he was really scared into a cold sweat. Wen Jing giggled, laughing like a small flower bent by the wind.
Xiuge looked at Shu Yu helplessly and said, "How can you shoot arrows like this...... The center of gravity is unstable, and of course the arrows are unstable......"
He pressed Shu Yu's shoulder, held his hand and swung his legs, and Shu Yu suddenly had a familiar feeling - this is clearly a horse step! Since he was three years old, he has been squatting for an hour every day, and he has not fallen behind when he goes to school. It's literally become part of his body movements, and it's so familiar!
Xiuge was a little surprised again, he only demonstrated a little, this kid is more standard than him! You can't rely on talent to do that...... He couldn't help but ask, "Have you practiced?" ”
Shu Yu nodded: "My father taught me to practice since I was a child, and told me that if you are stable, you will be ...... heart."
"If the body is stable, the heart is ......stable," Xiuge muttered this sentence, and gradually laughed, "Yes! If the body is stable, the heart is stable, and if the heart is stable, the hands are stable! ”
A sentence seemed to touch Shu Yu, and he repeated it twice, smiling slightly. Suddenly, he turned down his face and pulled his bow, and the next moment, the feather arrow shot out like lightning, grabbed it, and nailed it to the target!
Although he missed the bull's-eye this time, he was also guided by Xiuge to shorten the distance before, but this was the second arrow he shot!
Xiuge looked at him in disbelief, and kept saying in his mouth, "It's too spiritual, it's too spiritual!" ”
Only then did he show some expressions of regret and regret, knowing that when non-evolutionaries become adults, they will be strictly restricted to the area where they live, and the resources they will get will only be enough for basic living expenses. Whether it's horseback riding, or archery, once he reaches adulthood, he can no longer touch it!
It's a pity that such a good seedling...... Xiuge sighed secretly in his heart.
Shu Yu didn't pay attention to his expression, and the second arrow hit the target, which greatly boosted his morale, and he began to shoot arrow after arrow. With each arrow, he paused for a moment, pondering the success or loss of the arrow.
Xiuge looked at it for a while, and found that he had been shooting arrows for more than forty years, and there was nothing to teach this child. He himself is not very smart, but he relies on hard work. When he watched the experience he had gained after ten years of hard work being adjusted by Shu Yu in a few arrows, he sighed again and quietly walked away.
After all, Shu Yu was in contact with archery for the first time, and his hands were still a little rusty. When a whole bag of arrows was fired, he still didn't hit the ten rings, and almost all of the arrows were kept at the edge of the target.
He sat down cross-legged, his hands on his cheeks, and pondered. He knew that what he lacked was a feeling, a feeling that had been accumulated for ten years and decades, and that his body was in harmony with the bow and arrow. But he always felt that this feeling should also be a skill, but his brain may not be able to summarize it.
He thought for a while, and was about to stand up and try again, when he reached out and touched it, only to realize that the arrows in the bag had been exhausted.
so intently that he didn't even notice. He touched his head and smiled, ready to walk over to the target to retrieve the arrow. When he raised his head, he found that Wen Jing was holding a large number of arrows and trotting towards this side!
She has a quiet personality, she doesn't like sports too much, and her physical fitness is average. The weight of this large handful of arrows was not light, and it made her little face crimson. She gasped slightly, and after running for a while, she couldn't run anymore, so she had to shuffle forward. But she walked very resolutely, and had no intention of stopping and resting for a while.
Shu Yu ran to her, took the arrow, and said, "You can just play on the side, the arrow is very heavy, don't tire you!" ”
Wen Jing stuck out her tongue and laughed: "I am also a member of Shu Yu's cheerleading team, and I will do everything possible to help you win!" ”
She was not reckless, handed the arrow to Shu Yu, watched him pick it up easily, and said enviously: "You have so much strength!" As he spoke, he rubbed his hands unconsciously.
Shu Yu saw it and didn't speak. His strength is indeed not small, and the arrow pierces the target and nails it quite deeply. It's not so easy to unplug. Wen Jing had put a lot of effort into her little white hand just now, and her slender white hand had already made a few deep red marks, and there was some skin on her index finger, which was very conspicuous.
He took the arrow back to its place, looked around, saw no figure of Xiuge, and shouted: "Uncle! Uncle! Uncle Xiuge! ”
Xiuge still didn't see anyone, but the tall and honest Carat ran out and looked at Shu Yu questioningly.
Shu Yu gestured and asked, "Is there any wound medicine?" ”
Kra didn't immediately understand what he meant, and stood still.
Shu Yu pointed to Wen Jing's hand and said, "I'm injured!" Is there any medicine? ”
Wen Jing knew that he wanted it for himself, retracted his hand back, and said anxiously: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay to break it!" ”
Shu Yu ignored her and repeated it to Kra again.
Carat's mind was no longer bright, but now he understood, nodded vigorously, and ran towards the house.
Wen Jing whispered, "It's okay......"
Shu Yu turned his head and said seriously: "How can a girl stay injured?" ”
Wen Jing pursed her mouth gently, moved her hand slightly, lowered her head, and didn't speak again.
Shu Yu stared anxiously at Kra's side, and didn't notice a tear, which quietly fell on the blade of grass and rolled into the dirt again.
After staring at Wen Jing and giving himself good medicine, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his place, and shot one arrow after another. This time, he fine-tuned his posture again, and although it didn't improve the hit rate, the arrows that hit the target were straight one by one, and they were no longer as crooked and slanted as before.
Wen Jing didn't help this time, she sat on the stake on the side, stared at Shu Yu's movements, and watched him shoot a bag of arrows, then stepped forward to take it back, and continued to shoot.
Shu Yu shot bag after bag like this, and the soft sound of "snatching" sounded one after another, continuous and stable.
The sun gradually set in the west, and Shu Yu stepped forward with a bow and a solemn expression. He drew his bow round, and the feathered arrow was firmly caught in his finger. He easily fingered, and the feather arrow shot out, with a slight sound of breaking wind and an almost invisible afterimage, right in the heart!
Shu Yu laughed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and raised his head to breathe a sigh of relief.
He turned around and looked in amazement at Wen Jing still sitting on the stake. She was dressed in a worker's clothes and a hat, like a little boy. But the breeze gently stirred the few strands of hair exposed under the hat, gently disturbing the smooth and slender neck, but it showed more and more feminine grace and femininity.
The soft light of the setting sun spread over her, and the grassland spread out endlessly behind her, with a thrilling magnificence, like a still picture.
Shu Yu was stunned for a while, until Wen Jing chuckled and said, "Are you tired?" He came back to his senses, shook his head, and nodded: "I'm really tired!" ”
He walked over to Wen Jing, sat down, leaned against the railing next to the stake, and exhaled softly. The faint smell of sweat was blown by the wind, Wen Jing blushed a little, hesitated, but did not let go.
The peaceful silence shrouded them in the middle, Shu Yu practiced arrows and practiced so much that his whole body was hot, and he was blown by the cool breeze at this time, which was really extremely comfortable. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly heard Wen Jing next to him say quietly: "Although I am a girl, I have a lot of injuries." ”
Shu Yu was startled and turned his head to look at her. Wen Jing was against the light, and the sunset was shining right from her side, a little dazzling, Shu Yu narrowed his eyes, and couldn't see her expression clearly.
There was a slight smile in Wen Jing's voice: "My father and mother are all evolutionaries, and their rank is not high, but they are. My uncles, uncles, cousins, and cousins are all evolutionaries. My parents gave birth to me and had high hopes for me, but I didn't show any talent since I was a child. ”
She exhaled softly, and there was no pain or sadness in her voice: "When I was a child, my parents kept an eye on me, and whenever there was a little abnormality, they thought I should evolve!" But they were disappointed every time and beat me up every time. At first, it was a slap, then a whip, and then it was a matter of what it was. ”
There was a little annoyance in her voice: "The most annoying thing is my aunt and uncle, who muttered in front of my mother when they were fine, saying that my cousins and cousins have the ability!" I was praised by the teacher! Winner! And then...... I'm going to be beaten. What's my business! Not what I want! ”
"Why no one ever thinks that girls shouldn't be hurt......"
Her fingers moved, curling up on the railing. Shu Yu had an urge to hold her hand. Before he could act, the hand retracted, wiped his face, and put it back with a little droplet.
Shu Yu tilted his head and stared at the drop of water, but there was no movement.
He was silent for a while, leaned back, and said, "My family is very happy......
He slowly recalled the situation at home, his father was strict but gentle, his mother was kind and careful, and although the brothers and sisters were all adopted, they were still a family with Helele.
With a little smile, he told the story of everyone playing together when he was a child, being punished by his father for kneeling, but being secretly added a cotton pad under his knees by his mother, and telling the story of falling into the water when he was a child, being rescued desperately by his brothers, and helping his sisters hide from adults together......
Wen Jing tilted her head and listened quietly, the smile on her lips mixed with the crystal tears that slid down her cheeks, like wild flowers in the mountains after the rain, amazingly bright. Shu Yu's hand had unconsciously grasped the other hand, which was smooth and cool.
