Chapter 170: Complementing Each Other
Although it was late at night, Li Youcai had no intention of sleeping.
Instead, a man walked out of his bedroom with a fruit knife he had brought from the kitchen, and then walked slowly into the courtyard.
In the yard, overgrown with weeds, Lao Zhou planted a metasequoia tree more than ten years ago, which also grew more than six meters high, and stood erected in the yard, as if it was like the guardian of this yard......
The flying knife exercises described in the "Weapon Cheats" are actually a bit difficult and obscure, and some are difficult to understand. Of course, Li You knew that this kung fu could not be practiced in a day.
So, he started with the simplest throw.
The throwing knife, the reason why it is so powerful, is because it throws out quickly, and the kind of power and lethality it produces will have a lot of deterrence for the enemy......
However, it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult to throw knives, first of all, because it is a long-distance throw, so how to ensure the hit rate of the knives after throwing them, and, in the process of flying, part of the kinetic energy lost. And in the end, this blow is still able to ensure a high destructive power, which is the real difficulty it contains.
Therefore, if you want to play with the flying knife well, Li Youcai simply picked up an abandoned square wooden board in the backyard, then brought a piece of chalk and painted on it......
Although Li Youcai's eyesight is very good now, but, alas, the yard at night is still too dark, if he stares at the wooden board in this environment for a long time, his flying knife is not practiced well, and his eyes are blind.
But. Fortunately, at that time, there were still a few discarded table lamps, which were kept by themselves, and were originally used to restore items. in the storage room. So, he turned around and went into the house, and brought out several lamps of different sizes and models. Then, use some wire, or rope. Ways were made to fix these lamps to the four corners of the courtyard. In particular, next to the metasequoia tree where the target was placed, Li Youcai was even more willful, and around the tree, four table lamps were placed at once.
There are so many of them, Li Youcai has moved out a total of twelve table lamps, and even the drag board has to use four, so many table lamps have been put into the courtyard at once. What was originally dark became daylight......
Fortunately, it was late at night, and everyone had fallen asleep. Otherwise, if the neighbors saw this scene in front of them, they would have to treat Li Youcai as a psychopath.
In fact, at night, practicing throwing knives, Li Youcai thinks it's pretty good. Because, at night. But it is the quietest time of the day, and there is silence everywhere, and at most there is only the sound of insects chirping and frogs chirping. At such times, the more you can exercise a person's state of mind......
After a qiē is ready. Li Youcai began to move his muscles and bones, and began to even fly knives.
He grabbed the handle of the fruit knife and flipped it. This weight is just right, neither too heavy nor too light. The first time he threw it, he held his arm. Then he aimed at the target hanging from the tree and threw it away......
However, in the end, only a "click" was heard, and the blade of the fruit knife was instead given a quick start by the handle, and in the end, the handle hit it alive and then fell to the ground.
"Well, I didn't touch the blade. Li Youcai was a little speechless, he walked over, picked up the fruit knife from the ground again, and then returned to the position where he was standing. At this time, he took a deep breath, then prepared for a while, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and threw the fruit knife out again......
It's just that what was waiting for him this time was another "pop" sound, and the handle of the fruit knife fell to the ground again after knocking it on the wooden board that was used as a target.
"Oh, I'll go, not this time, isn't it... Is my method wrong??" It doesn't make sense, it's the same mistake both times, Li Youcai thought about it, what he did just now. Whether it is fixed, charging, or throwing, there shouldn't be much of a problem in this process, but why, it's not the blade that pierces the target.
Li Youcai thought about it for a while, and suddenly found the reason, he couldn't help but snap his fingers: "By the way, I used to see on TV, those masters, throwing flying knives, seem to use their thumbs and index fingers, two index fingers, from both sides, to pinch the thin blade, and then aim at the bull's-eye, throw over, maybe, really their own method is wrong......
Li Youcai thought of this, so he tried for a while and found that it was indeed like this. Although, in the end, the fruit knife was thrown out diagonally by himself, and it was pierced at the bottom of the trunk of the metasequoia tree, and there was still a distance of 108,000 miles from the bullseye of the target, but Li Youcai was already content, he couldn't help pinching his nose, and said with some excitement: "It turns out that it's really for this reason, okay, now, just practice slowly......"
Li Youcai finally found the reason, so he was also quite motivated and began to practice over and over again. Therefore, in the middle of the night, in this yard, there will still be a muffled sound of "bang", "bang", "bang", and those who don't know don't know what is going on.
However, thanks to Lu Fang and Yang Duo, their sleep quality is good, otherwise, they will have to be so noisy that they can't sleep......
And as Li Youcai practiced, the number of times he practiced increased over and over again, slowly. His accuracy has also slowly improved a lot. At least, after an hour and a half, Li Youcai can already guarantee that every knife he throws out can hit the target, although there are still a lot of deviations from the bull's-eye, but this is also a great progress.
Originally, late at night in the yard, because of the low temperature, Li Youcai still felt a little cold, but as he practiced more and more, his body began to slowly become warmer, and he was even slightly sweating. However, fortunately, this is early spring, and if it is summer, mosquito bites, in the open air, will be more uncomfortable to be bitten by mosquitoes.
Moreover, he is slowly comprehending, how to throw the knife more accurately, closer to the bull's-eye, he has slowly been able to comprehend some tricks......
This night, Li Youcai practiced until 3 o'clock in the morning, and then finally rested, returned to the bedroom, and lay down, because it was too tiring.
The next day, according to the schedule, he went to work at the clinic. Because of lack of sleep, when he arrived at the clinic, he was really tired and his eyelids couldn't open.
And Xiao Mei, who was already measuring blood pressure for a person who came to see a doctor at this time, saw Li Youcai looking listless, and entered the clinic, but the white coat had not been changed on, and she was directly lying on the table and making up for sleep.
"Yo, Doctor Li, what were you doing last night, and you're still so sleepy after work...... Xiao Mei has always liked to argue with Li Youcai, so she was bored, so naturally she wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and teased him jokingly.
"Uh... Well... You help me hold up a little first, and I'll make up for a little sleep first. With difficulty, Li Youcai raised his hand and made a gesture at Xiao Mei, which meant that he was too tired and asked Xiao Mei to keep an eye on him......
Seeing this, Xiao Mei couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. Now, Xiao Mei has not only mastered the ability of medical care, but also can handle some simple diseases well. Moreover, seeing that Li Youcai was so tired, although she didn't say anything in her mouth, she was actually already sharing the burden for Li Youcai.
Li Youcai slept until half past nine in the morning. He got up, yawned, and stretched a big lazy waist, with an intoxicated look on his face: "Hey, it's comfortable to sleep." ”
After recovering his state, he also put on a white coat and began to sit in the clinic.
Not long after, an aunt came to the clinic, and this aunt had suffered from a herniated lumbar disc for many years, so she needed acupuncture treatment. And Li Youcai is also very skilled in acupuncture. However, in this process, Li Youcai found that after practicing the flying knife last night, not only has the flying knife technique made some progress, but even now, with a needle in his hand, he is doing acupuncture for the patient. The accuracy and strength of this seem to be more measured......
In fact, if you think about flying knives and acupuncture, there are also some similarities, because these two also have to pay attention to strength and accuracy, these two aspects, if the strength is not good, the throwing knife will lose its power. And during acupuncture, it may also hurt the patient. Moreover, it is also about accuracy, if there is a difference, it is that flying knives are an offensive skill, while acupuncture is a way to save people.
However, these two, no matter which skill is improved, on the other hand, also has a lot of benefits. It can be said that they complement each other and complement each other......
Thinking like this, Li Youcai also put aside his thoughts and devoted himself more fully to the process of acupuncture. (To be continued.) )
