Volume 1 Sand Garden Battle Chapter 20 The concubine is a vine
It was already completely dark, and only the lights around it reflected a faint light.
At this time, Wu Chengzu's men lit torches at the foot of the city wall, which was used to illuminate the children. Otherwise, thirty steps away, the target would not be visible at all. However, for those who shoot well, this distance is child's play, and even with their eyes closed, they can hit the target. At the very least, when Qin Chong was thirteen years old, he could do it.
Wu Chengzu's bow and arrow club, named Archery, is not blind, but very particular.
The so-called shooting sound is blindfolded, or in the dark night, listening to the sound of the position, and hitting it with an arrow. With such marksmanship, you can be called a marksman. According to the veterans, there is a shooting battalion in the army at the border pass, and non-marksmen are not allowed to enter the camp. On the battlefield, they specialize in sneaking up on enemy generals, and all of them have meritorious deeds.
As soon as he saw the torch lit, Qin Chong was already disappointed in Wu Chengzu's archery skills.
At this level, dare to call the Archery Bow and Arrow Club? Qin Chong suddenly lost interest, if he had to save people, he just wanted to turn around and leave. Compared with this kind of archery skills, Qin Zhong felt that he had fallen. Even if you win the arrow, when you return to the Xiaoqi camp and talk to everyone, I am afraid that what you will provoke is not praise, but a ridicule from the old ghost.
Qin Chongbai was bored, looking left and right, and casually touching in the crowd. Suddenly, I smelled a wisp of fragrance, and before I could think about it, I suddenly felt a pain in my instep. When I turned my head, I saw Xiaodao Gu Yunni, standing beside me. Xiao Daogu didn't know when, she squeezed over from the crowd, hated a kick, and stomped on Qin Chong's instep.
"Hey, hey." Qin Chong smiled, but he was not annoyed.
"I ask you, do you really like that woman?" Xiao Daogu asked angrily.
"Huh? That's right. "Qin Zhong is serious and teases Xiao Daogu.
"You're a pervert." Xiao Daogu was angry, and stomped over again, but was deftly dodged by Qin Chong. Seeing that she didn't stomp on it, Xiao Daogu said fiercely, "You are not allowed to look at other women, hum." ”
"Oh? Why is that? Qin Chongyi leaned over, leaned close to Xiao Daogu's ear, and asked.
"Bang." Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Wu Chengzu shot an arrow.
"Wow, it really hit." Xiao Daogu's face was exaggerated, and she was shocked.
"I don't know." Qin Chong was very unhappy when he saw Xiao Daogu's expression, muttered, and turned his head to look at Wu Chengzu. Wu Chengzu was triumphant, and seemed to be very satisfied with his arrow.
"Medium, three inches into the wall." In the distance, someone sang loudly.
Qin Zhong took the bow, shook it in his hand, and pulled the bowstring again, easily pulling out half a bow. His relaxed appearance, in Wu Chengzu's eyes, is completely different. In the Great Song Dynasty, there were many specifications of bows, from soft bows of seven or eight buckets, to two-stone bows and three-stone bows, with many types and uses.
Generally speaking, ordinary foot soldiers use eight-bucket bows, and full-time archers make one-stone bows; can make two stone bows, which can be called the elite in the army. And the three-stone bow is not something that ordinary people can pull away. It is also rare in the military, and cannot be used by people who do not have excellent arm strength. The ones that have appeared in history are all legendary figures.
Wu Chengzu is not a layman, as soon as he saw Qin Chong's posture of pulling the strings, he knew that he was gone today. Suddenly, my heart was a little apprehensive. His eyes were staring at Qin Chong, and he didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing a certain detail. But seeing that Qin tried the hardness of the bowstring again, he turned his body slightly, straddled his feet, and stopped at Yuezhi.
Just a posture of opening the bow showed a domineering and mighty aura. The crowd of onlookers seemed to be intimidated by Qin Chong's might, and the scene was quiet for a moment. They stared at Qin Chong one by one for a moment, and even subconsciously held their breathing. Xiao Daogu clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Qin Chong with a look of wonder in her eyes.
Qin Chong's left hand was like pushing a mountain, his right hand was like a moon, his arms were screaming, and the bowstring was violently opened.
"Bang." The bow snapped and made a loud noise.
Everyone in the audience screamed in unison, completely unexpected. Xiao Daogu let out an "ah", clenched her hands tightly, and jumped up involuntarily. Looking at Qin Chong, his mind was suddenly confused.
"What kind of broken bow is this, is it a child's play?" Qin Zhong laughed, threw his broken bow to the ground, picked up an arrow casually, spun his body halfway, and waved his hand with his strength. The two-foot-long arrow, with a sharp roar, flew out like lightning. This arrow is extremely powerful, and the "poof" is nailed into the middle of the target, and it is not into the feather.
"Hit, hit." Xiao Dao Gu grabbed Qin Zhong and jumped to her feet excitedly and shouted.
At this time, the onlookers came back to their senses from the shock. Suddenly, the applause was overwhelming. The people in the northwest are so martial that almost everyone can make a few punches and kicks. For guns and sticks, archery skills, there is a love far beyond other places. Because of the perennial military disasters, it has become a habit for the people to practice martial arts.
Therefore, the worship of the marksman is no less than that of the film and television stars of later generations.
"Right in the bull's-eye, into the wall, into the wall to the feather." The target singer stumbled and stumbled, but the crowd boiled again.
"Marksmanship, marksmanship."
"Divine power."
..........
Straight into the feather, the divine shot that only appeared in books is now in front of you.
"The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night. Ping Ming looked for the white feather, but he was not in the stone ridge. In the crowd, there were people wearing Lan shirts, reciting poems and admiring, with a passionate face.
"It turns out that you are so powerful." Xiao Daogu looked at Qin Chong, dizzy, and muttered to herself.
Wu Chengzu stared at Qin Chong without blinking, he was already stunned, his mouth was wide open, and he forgot to close it. Suddenly, Wu Chengzu shouted, and jumped in front of Qin Chong in one step.
"You, you, you are the little overlord Qin Chong." Wu Chengzu's eyes lit up, and in an instant, he remembered the famous Qin Chong of Shayuan Supervisor. At this moment, he only felt honored, and there was a little frustration of losing.
Qin Zhong touched his nose, and his heart was very useful. He didn't know that he was so famous? Actually, there is a nickname for a little overlord. The onlookers suddenly realized when they heard Qin Chong's name. No wonder, he can throw an arrow with one hand and sink into the feather. Qin Zhong was twelve years old and lifted a stone lion of three hundred catties, which is well known to everyone in Dali County.
"Admit defeat below, admit defeat below." Wu Chengzu clasped his fists and saluted, losing to Qin Chong, and was convinced.
"The woman?" Qin Zhong asked.
"Give, give, give it all." Wu Chengzu responded, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Qin Zhong with both hands. Then, you personally ran to the woman's side, untied the rope, and brought it to Qin Chong.
"That being the case, Qin Zhong thanked him." Wu Chengzu happily admitted defeat and handed over others, Qin Chong didn't care about himself, hugged his fists and returned the salute, and said to the woman with her head hanging down, "Let's go." With that, he walked out of the crowd.
"Don't go." Suddenly, Xiao Dao Gu jumped in front of Qin Chong, stretched out her arms, and blocked Qin Chong's way. On a delicate little face, there is a faint red glow. Biting his lip, he seemed to have been greatly wronged.
"Don't make a fuss." Qin Chongyi raised his hand, grabbed Xiao Daogu's arm, gently took her, and led her out together. Xiao Daogu swayed left and right, refusing to give in. At this time, Qin Chong leaned down, leaned into Xiao Daogu's ear, and said softly, "I didn't have the idea of beating her, this is to send her home." ”
"Really?" Xiao Daogu looked suspicious.
"Of course it's true." Qin Zhong said, dragged Xiao Daogu and left.
A'e hesitated slightly, but she was surrounded by people, which made her very ashamed, so she hurried away. Lowering his head, he followed behind Qin Zhong and the others, and slowly walked out of the city gate, heading east along the avenue. There was still a commotion behind him, but it was suddenly deserted in front of him. The night was quiet, and A'e was in a trance and didn't know where she was.
"Young master, young master." Sanfeng squeezed out of the crowd and chased after him. panting, and did not forget to count Qin Chong, "Patronizing the beautiful little Dao Gu, the three full children are all left behind." ”
When San'er said this, Xiao Daogu screamed in surprise and shook off Qin Chong's hand. The frightened fawn, her pretty face flushed with shame, and she avoided Qin Zhong from a distance. Qin Chong's hands were empty, and he looked a little stunned. glared at San'er fiercely, and turned his head to look at A'e, who was struggling.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, Qin Zhong is going to send you home." Xiao Daogu stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hold A'e.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he is Qin Chong, and the slave family is not afraid." A'e raised her head, glanced at Qin Chong quickly, and lowered her head again, still preoccupied and heavy.
"Sister-in-law is worried that she will be punished when she gets home?" Qin Chongxin felt something and asked.
"Ugh." A'e sighed softly, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you crying?" Xiaodao Gu is simple-hearted, and when she saw A'e suddenly crying, she was at a loss for a while. She couldn't understand A'e's state of mind, and naturally she didn't know A'e's pain.
At this time, Qin Zhong noticed that someone was approaching, and turned back suddenly. I saw a person standing quietly in the distance, in a moon-white uniform, blowing lightly in the wind. It was the middle-aged Dao Gu who also followed.
Qin Chong has practiced martial arts for many years, and his spiritual sense is far superior to ordinary people, and he was so close that he didn't notice it. This is absolutely incredible for Qin Chong. The middle-aged Dao Gu fairy wind bones, walking, like Ling Bo microstep. Qin Zhong looked at it seriously, but he couldn't see the level of Daogu's realm at all. Respectfully hug your fist and bow down.
I don't know that the middle-aged Dao Gu didn't seem to see Qin Chong, and she didn't pay attention to him.
Walked straight over and took Yunni's hand. "Let's go."
"Aunt, master." Yunni didn't want to leave, but she couldn't resist the master, and suddenly her mouth rose.
Qin Zhong straightened his waist, subconsciously touched his nose, and said in his heart, this is not waiting to see me. Watching the two Dao Gu, one big and one small, go farther and farther, they feel a sense of loss that they have never felt before. The whole person suddenly lost his energy, and he couldn't lift his energy lazily. Fang Cai's high spirits were completely blown away by the night wind.
"Let's go too." Qin Zhong said, I don't know if it's A'e or Sansa'er.
Xiaodongzhuang is not far from the city, three or four miles away. Even if A'e walked slowly, it was only half an hour, and she had already arrived at the entrance of the village. The closer she got to the village, the slower she walked, and the heavier her mood seemed to become. When she arrived at the entrance of the village, A'e suddenly squatted down, hugged her head and cried.
Qin Chong sighed, revealing a world that was not like a young man. In this world, women are treated too harshly, and it is said in the play that since ancient times, it is not an exaggeration. Just like A'e, her husband went to Beijing for three years and did not return, she grinded tofu alone to support her family and waited for her in-laws, and her efforts were not heavy.
However, his brother-in-law dared to pay his sister-in-law to the creditor with a piece of paper. However, the government has not been very restrained in this regard. It is only natural to repay debts. If you pay off your wife, you won't be punished. A'e was born into the Gao family, and died as a ghost of the Gao family, and the little uncle used her to pay off her debts, and he also did not violate the king's law.
What kind of bullshit is this?
Qin Zhong thought sullenly, became annoyed, and kicked the tree beside him. only heard a "click", and the poplar tree with the thickness of an adult's thigh was kicked and broken by him, and Hulala fell.
A'e was taken aback, but she stopped crying and looked at Qin Zhong in a daze.
"The concubine is grateful to Little Brother Qin for saving A'e's life." A'e bent over and gave a salute.
"No need to be polite, go home." Qin Zhong clenched his fists and said.
He did not send it to the village again, but stopped at the entrance of the village. Nowadays, the woman's name is more important than her life, and A'e hesitated to go home not far away, just because she was worried that her in-laws would be difficult to accept. A woman was kidnapped and came home in the middle of the night, what did the neighbors think? They just think about the dirt and make up all kinds of rhetoric to take pleasure in.
At that time, A'e had to die to prove her innocence.
"The heavens and the earth are big, and people can live anywhere." Qin Zhong looked at A'e's shrunken back, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but want to comfort a few words, and said loudly two steps forward. "Why bother with yourself."
A'e's body trembled, and her feet froze on the ground, but she didn't look back.
After a while, he said faintly, "The concubine is a vine, born from the wood." Life is the same forest, and death is the same dust. ”
Qin Zhong sighed heavily, stopped talking, and watched A'e walk into the darkness.
