Yi Yu was worried about Cheng Xiaofeng. Hearing him say this, he slapped him on the arm angrily, "Sister Xiaofeng is injured, aren't you worried, what are you doing with that woodcut at this time." ”

After listening to Yi Yu's dissatisfied words, Lu Zhi said in a flat tone: "Worried? She specially told Xiaohu not to tell us how we twisted our shoulders, then she would be hurt, eighty percent of them were caused by herself, knowing that today's archery is likely to win the championship, she is not careful, and who will worry about her. ”

His words were very reasonable, but Yiyu frowned slightly when he heard it, and when he opened his mouth to say something, he pulled his sleeves and walked towards the wooden shed on the right.

In a wooden shed at the beginning, there were the gentlemen and assistants of the school, and when they were in the Junzi Building, because they were sitting on the chrysanthemum building, the students did not have to go up to salute, but now everyone came down, and the students wanted to take their seats. It is necessary to pass through this shed, and there is no reason not to greet the gentlemen.

When Yi Yu and Lu Zhi walked to the entrance of the wooden shed, they bowed slightly to the gentlemen inside, just like the students passing by in front.

"Morning, gentlemen."

The people sitting inside, because of the art competition a few days ago, there were no people who didn't know this brother and sister, different from the seriousness when they greeted other students just now, after Lu Zhi and Yiyu's words, there was a burst of responses, and in this response, there was a low laugh.

Yi Yu heard it sharply, and as soon as he moved his eyes, he saw a figure sitting on the side of the middle, looking at them with a smile.

is still dressed in white, but because of the snow-colored fox fur wrapped around his shoulders, it is not thin, and the black hair neatly combed into a bun at the back of his head makes his handsome facial features more clean, and the smile at the corner of his mouth is shallow, but it is extremely gentle.

Du Ruojin nodded lightly at the gaze cast by the relic jade, perhaps because of the brazier burning on the side, his jade-like face was stained with a thin layer of ruddy, and his face looked much better than what they saw the day before.

Seeing that he seemed to have a warm smile on his face, the corners of Yu Yu's lips couldn't help but smile lightly. I've been feeling a little stuffy since the morning, but I've been feeling much better all of a sudden.

After greeting the gentlemen, Lu Zhi and Yi Yu found a position against the wall in the middle of the wooden shed next door and sat down, and a layer of soft cushions was placed on the round bench, so they didn't feel cold.

***

After the bell rang, the students gathered in the center of the racecourse, and because they had changed the venue, they did not use the giant axis to show the question, but were led by the master bookkeeper to the judgment table, and the sacrificial wine himself announced to everyone the topic of today's archery competition - white arrow.

The so-called white arrow, that is, the arrow shoots through the target and reveals its arrow, which is the simplest of the five disciplines of archery, most of the participants are relieved to hear this question, but Yu Yu secretly sighs bad luck.

What archery seeks is the word precision, followed by force and resistance, and the white arrow test is a force word outside of precision, whether it is brute force or not. Regardless of skill, only those who can penetrate the target and expose the arrow are qualified.

For the sake of safety, the wooden sheds on the left and right sides of the racecourse are ten zhang away from the test site, and there are a total of five target stacks in the center.

Ten arrows per person, where the target is shot, or the arrow is not exposed, are not counted, watched by five archery masters, according to the number of targets, and from the bull's-eye position, select one head and one tail, after a round of comparison, the selected eighteen people, divided into good and bad sides, and then two rounds, in turn to select the best and the worst.

Because Cheng Xiaofeng accidentally abandoned the competition, the participants became forty-three, although it did not affect the competition process, but one group in the first round had to become a three-person ratio.

There is a bow stand on one side of the field, on which are hung two types of bows, one is the nine bucket power used by men, the other is the six bucket force used by women, and there are dense quivers placed under the bow frame, which is enough for forty-three people to use until the end of the competition.

The racecourse is not comparable to the gentleman's building, there is amplified terrain, judging the spectators on the opposite side of the seat. I couldn't hear the voice clearly, and several scholars had told the audience about the topic of the competition in the past.

After the bell rang twice, the competition was announced, and the master bookkeeper opened the fold with people's names written on it, and read aloud the names of five people to the students who were standing quietly near the judgment seat.

Yi Yu and Lu Zhi were not among the first five people, and together with the remaining students whose names were not read, they did not return to their seats, but stood between the judgment seat and the VIP seats on the side, waiting for the end of the first round.

As soon as Yi Yu saw Lu Shuqing, who was dressed in snow blue, walking by, he heard Lu Zhi beside him whisper:

"She is very good at archery, Xiaofeng is not here, it is very likely that she will be asked to take another woodcut."

Yi Yu looked at Lu Shuqing who stood at the designated position thirty steps in front of the target in surprise, this girl who had overwhelmed Changsun Xian to obtain the woodcut of the piano art at the beginning of the art competition, and her performance in the next few days was very mediocre, but she didn't think that she was waiting in archery.

Lu Zhi said that she has a big chance of winning, firstly, because of her own good archery, secondly, this white arrow is compared, the shooting distance of women's 30 steps is cheaper than that of men's 50 steps, and third, it is the biggest competitor. Cheng Xiaofeng unexpectedly abandoned the ratio.

Thinking of Lu Zhi's reaction after hearing that Cheng Xiaofeng sprained himself, Yi Yu glanced at him, half jokingly: "If she takes the woodcut, you should be happy, Tai Academy has never won five woodcuts in the art competition so far." ”

Lu Zhi smiled noncommittally.

While talking to Gao Zijian, Changsun Xi fiddled with a new pair of finger cuffs in his hand, and turned his head from time to time to look at the seat behind him.

After the assistant coach gave the order, the sound of feather arrows stabbing at the target sounded on the field, and her little face finally darkened.

"Xi'er, what's wrong with you?" Gao Zijian didn't even ask her a few times, so he put his hand on her shoulder.

Changsun Xi was about to twist the finger sleeve in his hand into a ball of hemp. As if he was brought back to his senses by this shout, he secretly gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the VIP seat behind him.

On the VIP seat, Li Tai and Li Ke sat side by side, more than half a foot apart, and there was a table in front of each of them, and there were several exquisite refreshments on the table.

The two were staring at the students on the field, when suddenly a figure trotted over and stood still in front of them, attracting Li Ke's attention.

He stretched out his hand and waved lightly twice, and said in a harmonious voice: "Xi'er come and sit, it's cold outside." ”

Immediately, a scholar moved a spare chair from the side and put it beside Li Ke, and the eldest grandson walked over with his head down, but dragged the chair between Li Ke and Li Tai and sat down.

Li Ke looked at her inexplicably, Li Tai was pouring tea for himself, when he heard a muffled inquiry from the side:

"Fourth brother, you—Have you forgotten something?"

Li Ke looked at Li Tai, Li Tai steadily filled the teacup in his hand with eight points, put the teapot on the table, held the teacup in his hand, looked at the row of target stacks in the distance, and replied to her casually:

"Nope."

The hand that Changsun Xi put on his lap twisted the leather finger sleeve and asked, "Think about it." ”

Li Ke helped, "Yes, fourth brother, did you promise Xi'er something and forget it?" ”

Li Tai took a sip of hot tea, glanced at one of the dozens of figures in front of him, and then moved his gaze to the target buttress in the distance, still two words:

"Nope."

Changsun Xi's breathing suddenly became urgent, his two little hands were twisted together, his head was staring at his side face tightly, and he squeaked:

"It's—don't you have anything for me?"

Li Tai looked at one of the targets that had already been inserted with four feathered arrows. The deep voice sounded again:

"Nope."

Three "no" in a row completely aroused Li Ke's curiosity, and also provoked a trace of annoyance in the heart of the aggrieved eldest Sun Xi, since Yibi saw the delicate deerskin finger sleeve in Yishulou the day before, she has been waiting for Li Tai to find an opportunity to give it to her, but this seven or eight days in a row, she waited left and right, not to mention the deerskin finger cover, and the opportunity for him to say a few words was rare.

The archery competition has begun, the deerskin finger sleeve is nowhere to be seen, and she came to the door to ask and got three "no", which is unknown, and the thing she saw in Yi Shooting Pavilion was not given to her!

Thinking of this, she bit her lip, and under the peeking glance of the officials on the side and Li Ke's puzzled gaze, she leaned over, and pressed the new finger sleeve in her hand on the long table in front of Li Tai with some force.

"Bang!" This is not a big muffled sound, it did not attract the attention of the students in front of him, Li Ke frowned, Li Tai, who had been watching the competition, finally turned his head slowly because of this movement, and his eyes moved from the white and tender little hand on the table with his fingers on the side, and moved little by little to the white and tender little face with grievances and red eyes.

Li Tai rarely looked at each other, this is something that everyone who has dealings with him knows, the sullenness flowing in Changsun Xi's chest, after the bewitching blue and blue color was scratched, he suddenly stiffened into a piece, and he regretted his impulsiveness, and wanted to look away, but as if he was sucked in, he could only look at a vague shadow in his faint pupils.

"Fourth, fourth brother..."Changsun Xi called out from his throat with some difficulty, holding back the tears that had accumulated in his eyes from slipping down, and said softly: "Don't be angry, Xi'er didn't mean to slap the table with you..."

Seeing this, Li Ke stretched out his hand to stretch Sun Xi, and said to Li Tai dissatisfiedly: "What are you scaring her for!" ”

Changsun Xi was pulled back by Li Ke and sat diagonally on the chair, but his eyes did not leave the person opposite.

Li Tai looked at the delicate little face in front of him, and his mind shook over a white face that was also full of tears, and after his eyes flickered, the chaotic color that made people tremble was hidden, and he looked at her again, and continued to look at the center of the racecourse without saying a word.

The two transparent beads in Changsun Xi's eyes rolled down, and he quickly turned his head and grabbed Li Ke's arm, sucking his reddened nose and sobbing quietly.

The officials behind the three of them, after looking at each other a few times, already had a plan in their hearts.

(Something happened at home, I have to take a car to the field in the afternoon, I can only go out so much if I stay up late and don't sleep, TT stayed up late and was trained by the summer adults in the group, don't be angry, cover your head, sleep and take the car, otherwise the location of the Anti-Japanese War will be changed to the hospital) (!) )
