Chapter 10: Formal Exercises
A horizontal line was drawn through the air, and the marbles finally landed straight in the direction of 45 degrees away from the target.
“......”
Faced with this situation, Xu Zhisheng smiled embarrassedly, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm a little rusty, and when I pull my muscles and bones, I'll definitely do it again." ”
In order to move her muscles and bones, she simply played an extremely rudimentary set of twenty-four style Tai Chi in front of Fu Jingrong, then adjusted her breathing, pulled the slingshot again, and then watched the marbles deviate from the target again.
“......”
"I didn't shoot, but I improved."
Fu Jing looked at the place where the marbles landed expressionlessly, ten degrees away from the target, compared to just now, in Xu Zhisheng's eyes, isn't it progress.
So sometimes, Fu Jingrong doesn't know where the child's optimistic attitude comes from, whether it is learning martial arts or piano, although it is very hard and tiring, she never gives up.
At this time, Xu Zhisheng, who was optimistic, began to aim at the target again, but before it could be launched this time, Fu Jingrong came to her side, moved her slingshot to the left with one hand, and held her hand with the other.
The two stood together, and twelve-year-old Xu Zhisheng had just reached Fu Jingrong's chest.
Following his hand, Xu Zhisheng's gaze slowly shifted to Fu Jingrong's face, wondering when he would be able to reach this height.
"What are you thinking?"
Hearing Fu Jingrong speak, Xu Zhisheng, who was stealing someone's height, shrunk his neck weakly, "It's nothing." ”
"Don't just rely on your eyes to see the target and position it, learn to constantly correct the aiming point." Fu Jingrong bent down slightly, adjusted the target a few times from the same perspective as Xu Zhisheng, and then let go of Xu Zhisheng's hand and walked to the side again, "You can let go." ”
Following Fu Jingrong's guidance, as soon as Xu Zhisheng let go, the marbles flew towards the target, and after hearing the sound of the target hitting, he knew that this time he had finally succeeded.
"I made it."
Looking at Xu Zhisheng's cheering smile, Fu Jingrong also followed the corners of his mouth up, but after realizing his actions, the corners of his mouth immediately collapsed, "Cough, you still have to practice more, just follow the feeling just now, and practice here today." ”
Xu Zhisheng: ??? Got out of school? I'm just starting to practice!
Seeing Fu Jingrong leaving, there was no sign of teaching her again, Xu Zhisheng took advantage of the feeling and tried a few more times, although it was not satisfactory, but she seemed to have found her feeling.
After a whole day of practice, the bag with marbles on her belt didn't know how many rounds it had been empty, and her fingertips were gloriously injured again, so as not to affect the training later, Xu Zhisheng had to go to Wu Peiqing to ask for some medicine.
Before she entered the door of the room, she saw Wu Peiqing alone in the medicine.
"Where's Brother Xia Shen?"
Hearing Xu Zhisheng's voice, Wu Peiqing immediately turned around and hurriedly blocked the things behind him, "I don't know where Xia Shen went, he will only go back to the room when he is sleeping, does the third sister have something to do with Xia Shen?" I can tell him for you. ”
"I'm not here to find Brother Xia Shen, I'm here to find you."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xu Zhisheng curiously looking behind him, Wu Peiqing's heart jumped nervously a few times and blocked to the side.
Xu Zhisheng, who didn't see anything, retracted his gaze and raised his injured finger, "I'll get some medicine and apply it to my hands." ”
"Oh." Wu Peiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Third sister, it's a bit messy here, why don't you wait for me outside first." ”
"Okay."
Wu Peiqing's face has always been unable to hide things, just like now.
Seeing that Wu Peiqing's face was full of the words 'don't come' and 'I have something', Xu Zhisheng had no choice but to listen to him obediently and wait at the door first.
I don't know what to do inside, after a while, Wu Peiqing took out the ointment and brought it to Xu Zhisheng for medicine.
"Does it hurt?"
Xu Zhisheng shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." ”
"Nonsense, that's how I came here."
It is precisely because of this that he is reluctant to let the third sister learn martial arts, but as Fu Jingrong said, everyone has their own ambitions, and no one can persuade him to give up studying medicine, and at the same time, no one can persuade the third sister to give up learning martial arts.
Thinking of this, the words he was going to say were swallowed back by him, "You be careful, don't get hurt all the time." ”
"You'll get hurt when you practice martial arts." Afraid that Wu Peiqing would be worried, Xu Zhisheng smiled sweetly and happily covered the words just now, "After being injured, it's a big deal to come to Second Brother Qing to ask for medicine again." ”
"You." Wu Peiqing scratched Xu Zhisheng's nose and sighed helplessly, "Without me, what will you do in the future?" ”
Xu Zhisheng didn't understand what Wu Peiqing meant, but when he said that he was studying medicine, "So, are you studying medicine for us?" ”
"Not exactly, the main thing is that I like to study medicine, you have your beliefs, and so do I."
He didn't want to experience powerlessness again, he wanted to save the wounded, and since he was carried by them in front, he was behind them.
"If that's the case, I'm behind you."
With the support of the third sister, Wu Peiqing's original uneasiness disappeared suddenly, "Then I will support you too." ”
After applying the medicine to the third sister, as before, watching her drift away, Wu Peiqing hesitantly returned to the room, and there were still many medicines piled up on the table, one of which was the poison that Zhou Yi ate at that time.
Without Xu Zhisheng's active atmosphere, the room alone was unusually quiet, Wu Peiqing stood in place for a long time, and finally made up his mind to hide the poison in a hidden place, making a voice that only he could hear, "It's not time yet." ”
At least he can't take that risk just yet.
///
After a day's training yesterday, although Xu Zhisheng's hit rate has improved somewhat, it is still far from 100 percent, and if he makes a mistake in the face of the enemy, it will be especially fatal.
Fu Jingrong was obviously aware of this, so he brought his secret weapon, a fan.
Seeing the marbles shooting out of the slingshot, Fu Jingrong launched a fierce attack.
He waved the fan, and the fan swept the wind on the marbles, and the blows came one after another, so that the marbles couldn't help but deviate from the direction, and they should have gone straight to the target, but now they were far away.
At first, Xu Zhisheng was still a little confused, but when she saw the trajectory of the marbles that deviated when it met the wind, her thoughts began to slowly become clear.
Marbles are affected by the wind!
Fu Jingrong's next words also confirmed Xu Zhisheng's thoughts.
"The accuracy of the slingshot itself is not high, it cannot be compared with the bow and arrow, and it is affected by the individual and the wind direction, so it is difficult to hit the target."
The child's frowning appearance was reflected in Fu Jingrong's eyes, and he suddenly remembered what Xia Haijie said.
["Don't keep undermining other people's self-confidence, give some encouragement appropriately. ”】
So when he heard what the child was saying, he planned to encourage her with gentle words.
"Am I impossible?" Xu Zhisheng was a little frustrated, she had already practiced very seriously.
"No, you're better suited than anyone else." When Fu Jingrong said gentle words with a cold face, he was obviously a little unaccustomed, and then he slowly got used to it, "The slingshot is a kind of cold weapon, and there are not many people who can use it, you are one, and the sound of its marbles is far less than that of an arrow, which is very suitable for sneak attacks." ”
Xu Zhisheng just listened to the first half, how did she feel a trace of encouragement from Fu Jingrong's mouth? Hearing these words, she felt a little awkward in her heart, and before she could finish muttering in her heart, she heard the word sneak attack, and the little emotion she had just generated was stifled.
It's good, it's still the same formula, it's still hurting her, but the next second, she's not so sure.
"Launching a slingshot requires a combination of observation and experience to judge the size and distance of the target, correct the posture according to the height of the target's position, and then judge the landing point of the projectile, and flexibly judge and accumulate experience, you know a lot about the slingshot, and you have a good sense of the picture of observing things, I don't think it's a problem."
"Are you encouraging me?"
I didn't know that Fu Jingrong, who was staging a big drama in Xu Zhisheng's heart, didn't know that he was almost misunderstood, and when he heard Xu Zhisheng say it so bluntly, he was so straightforward that he was slightly stunned, and coughed involuntarily, "Go to practice." ”
"Oh."
Although Fu Jingrong did not answer the question directly, Xu Zhisheng knew that he was encouraging her, and the original lost mood suddenly disappeared, and she ran to practice again full of vitality.
Fu Jingrong, who was on the side, kept fanning the wind, Xu Zhisheng stared at the target in front of her, the wind blew through her dress, and it hit in bursts, each of which was the same wind speed, which showed that Fu Jingrong's skills had reached an extremely high height.
After feeling the wind, Xu Zhisheng quickly pulled the bow, let go after finding the right angle, and the slingshot flew out, although it didn't hit the target, Xu Zhisheng had some bottom in his heart.
Each subsequent marble slowly approached the target, and finally a loud sound was heard, followed by several more identical sounds.
She succeeded!
With such confidence, Xu Zhisheng is full of fighting spirit to learn slingshots every day.
In the next few days, Fu Jingrong changed to other wind speeds, and Xu Zhisheng found the skill of slingshot according to the wind force and his own feelings.
Just as she was slowly getting on the right track, she got the news that Xia Haijie and Xia Shen were going to leave this place.
When Wu Peiqing came back from the mountain that day, he not only purchased some things, but also brought back a letter.
The letter was sent to Xia Haijie, and the letter said that the five-year Jianghu Conference would be hosted by their Xia family, so they hoped that Xia Haijie would rush back to preside over justice as soon as possible.
So, Xia Haijie and Xia Shen, who received the letter, began to pack their luggage, originally planning to leave immediately, but later considering the weather, they stayed here for a night, and they did not say goodbye to others in the courtyard until early the next morning.
"You have these medicines, and I have written down some of the effects and precautions." Wu Peiqing specially found a small bag to put the medicine in, handed it to Xia Shen, hesitated for a moment and added: "It's not the best." ”
"Okay, I remember." Looking at the handwriting on the paper, Xia Shen silently kept it and packed it up with their baggage.
"This is what I painted."
A landscape scene jumped vividly on the drawing paper, Xu Zhisheng had nothing to send, except for the paintings she painted, seeing Xia Shen accept the paintings, her originally depressed mood was finally a little better.
When it was Fu Jingrong's turn, he didn't give any gifts, just said that the journey was safe.
"Everyone, dear to you."
was about to part, Xia Shen greeted them, and then followed Xia Haijie on the way home.
Watching them drift away, Xu Zhisheng stared at Fu Jingrong with blank eyes.
Of course, Fu Jingrong knew what was going on in her head, but the eyes were too warm, so he could only dispel her thoughts, "Don't even think about it." ”
Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, she is not rare, now she is looking forward to Xia Shen and them coming back soon, but she didn't think that they would go for several years.
