Chapter 70: Pitching the Pot
Ren Yingze's demeanor was domineering, and there was no forgiveness in his words:
"If you don't, I'll go to the prefect and say that you, the personal disciple of the head of Luxi Academy, are as timid as a mouse, and you don't dare to compete with me with your head shrunk. When the time comes, in front of all the adults, I want to see if Xu Chengyu still has a face! β
Gu Yunji raised his eyes suddenly, his gaze was cold, making people feel like falling into an ice cave: "Ren Yingze, my teacher's name is also what you can call directly?" β
Saying that, he stood up in a hurry, walked to Ren Yingze unhurriedly, looked him in the eyes and said, "Isn't it that we made you lose face in the Hongyun Restaurant, you are unwilling, do you want to get back to the field this time?" As you wish, we will fight. β
"But my foot injury is real, I didn't lie to you. If you want to play polo and juju, Su Qi can do it, I can't play. If it were anything else, I would be able to play with you. β
"Good! Then let's throw the pot. It seemed that he was afraid that Gu Yunji would regret it, so Ren Yingze responded on the spot, "If your foot hurts, you can't move, and your hand is always fine." It's not bullying you than throwing a pot, right? β
Gu Yunji smiled slightly, not afraid at all: "No." β
Ren Yingze is really good at picking, and Gu Yunji's best thing in martial arts is pitching. During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, he practiced projection with a pot and arrow when he had nothing to do, and after a month, he didn't dare to say that he could shoot 100 shots, and 9 out of 10 shots was still no problem, and it was enough to deal with Ren Yingze.
Soon, the dry utensils for throwing the pot were ready, and Gu Yunji and Ren Yingze stood side by side with a few steps between them, staring intently at the ear piercing bottle in front of them.
One is the personal disciple of the mountain chief Xu Chengyu, and the other is the grandson of the school official Zhao Feng, both of whom can be regarded as the most influential figures in their respective schools, and they can always easily attract the attention of others.
These two people are going to compete in pitching pots, and it is very interesting to hear it, and after a while, a large circle of students is crowded around to watch the lively students.
Looking at Ren Yingze's high-spirited and upright posture, the people in Hangzhou Mansion looked like they were winning, and said proudly: "Hmph, our senior brother Ren is a civil and military all-rounder, whether it is poetry and articles or juju shooting willows, he is proficient in everything." This Gu Yunji dares to compete with him? Isn't that a loss! β
Hearing this, the students of Luxi Academy couldn't help but clench their fists, their faces full of disbelief.
Some people also said worriedly: "I know that Gu Yunji's writing is good, but the pot is ...... Can he? Don't say anything else, let's talk about this age first, Ren Yingze has already been crowned, Gu Yunji is only fifteen years old, half a head shorter than him, and his bare arm strength can't be compared, right? β
Su Qi raised his eyebrows and retorted: "What are you doing, growing up others to destroy your own prestige?" Pitching a pot is not archery on horseback, what do you need to do with such a big arm? What's more, we Yunji are very self-disciplined, eat and exercise diligently, and have a strong body! β
"It's this Ren Yingze, although he has grown so big, his eyes are black, and his steps are vain, I'm afraid it's not kidney loss!"
As soon as these words came out, the slightly depressed atmosphere on Luxi Academy's side suddenly relaxed, and everyone laughed lowly.
Ren Yingze's face was blue and white for a while, and he glanced at Su Qi with hatred, and urged the referee who was serving as a singer next to him: "What are you waiting for?" Let's get started! β
Seeing this, the referee hurriedly cleared his throat, walked up to everyone and said loudly: "The first pot throwing competition on the first day of the amusement fair is about to start!" The two sides are - Gu Yunji of Luxi Academy; Hangzhou Mansion School Ren Yingze. β
"Each of them holds five pots and arrows and throws them in turn, and the one with the most wins. Don't take the lead, don't throw more, don't move the distance without permission! Now the lottery will be held first, the elder first, and the shorter last! β
After saying that, the referee turned around to avoid everyone, grabbed two sticks of grass from the ground, held them in his hands, and handed them to Ren Yingze and Gu Yunji.
Ren Yingze also lost his mind of humility at this time, so he pulled out a straw at random, and compared it with Gu Yunji, and found that he was longer. So he took the lead in picking up a pot, glanced at the piercing ear bottle in front of him for a moment, and threw it with his hand.
An arrow is right inside the bottle.
The referee sang: "In the first arrow, there is the beginning!" Count three-"
Seeing this, Ren Yingze smiled slightly, arched his hand at Gu Yunji, and said proudly: "Accept!" β
"This is the first arrow, what's the hurry." Gu Yunji didn't mess up at all, he adjusted his position in a good time, and then decisively threw an arrow.
The pot and the arrow collided with the pot and bottle and made a soft sound, and the referee bent down to take a closer look, and then his eyes lit up: "In the first arrow, there is a first piercing ear!" Count five chipsβ"
The crowd behind Gu Yunji suddenly burst into cheers and applauded excitedly: "Okay!" With one stone, it's off to a good start! This is just the right time to kill the prestige of Hangzhou Fuxue, I want to see what they are! β
As the name suggests, the ear bottle is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a long straight neck, a flat abdomen, and symmetrical and vertical tubular ear piercing ears on both sides of the neck. The mouth of the bottle is narrow, and it is not easy to hit an arrow, but the ear tube mouth on the side of the bottle is even narrower, which is more than twice as difficult as that of hitting the pot.
Looking at a steady pot in the right ear on the side of the bottle, Ren Yingze's expression was almost unbearable. He smoothed his breath, forced down his somewhat unstable mind, and waved his arm to throw another arrow.
"In the second arrow, in the connection! Count two thingsβ"
The pot was hit, but Ren Yingze's face still did not improve. The score of the first arrow accounts for the heaviest proportion, even if all the arrows behind him are hit, as long as Gu Yunji's pot and arrow do not miss, he will not be able to catch up with the score.
Gu Yunji's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly threw the second arrow.
The pot flew out and landed very precisely into the left ear on the side of the bottle, making a "clang" sound. plus the arrow just now, one left and one right, connecting the ears, counting four chips.
"Lianzhong! Straight in the air! Hahahahaha! There is no need to compare in the future, our Luxi Academy is bound to win! β
Listening to the jubilant sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami coming from the opposite side, Ren Yingze's face sank like water, changed his previous steady and steady throwing method, gritted his teeth and picked up a pot arrow, aimed at the left ear of the ear piercing bottle in front of him, and threw an arrow.
The referee glanced at the pot that had passed by and landed on the grass, and said loudly: "The third arrow missed, touch the ear!" Countβ"
Ren Yingze's eyes were red, and he kicked the table next to him angrily, his fists creaked, and he could no longer hide the unwillingness and resentment on his face.
Gu Yunji chuckled lightly when he saw this, ignored his appearance as if he was about to kill, and casually threw the third arrow, which hit the bottle.
"In the third arrow, even in the middle! Count two thingsβ"
After the two sides finished throwing three arrows, Ren Yingze was five points behind Gu Yunji, and wanted to tie the score in the next two arrows, not only did Ren Yingze himself have to win by surprise and hit the ear, but also Gu Yunji played abnormally, at least one arrow missed, but how easy is this?
Not to mention that Gu Yunji was very calm from beginning to end, and it was unlikely that he would play abnormally. Ren Yingze alone was already hideous at the moment, his hands trembled with anger, his psychological defense line was about to collapse, and he couldn't even stand still.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning the game, Ren Yingze was in a mess, grabbed several pots and arrows as if he lost his mind, and threw them forward one after another regardless of it, but one missed, and all of them fell to the ground on the grass.
Seeing this, everyone in Luxi Academy immediately shouted: "Eh! It's a violation! Not counted, not counted! β
The referee frowned: "You can only throw one arrow at a time, Ren Yingze violates the rules, and the next two rounds don't need to be carried out." In this pot throwing competition, Gu Yunji won! β
Hearing this, when Gu Yunji was celebrating, he didn't forget to ridicule Ren Yingze: "Yo, if you can't win, you cheat, and you Hangzhou Fuxue is just like that." β
"Hahaha, what is it, I took the initiative to provoke with a fierce attitude, but I was beaten by Senior Brother Gu, this taste, it's not comfortable!"
It's nothing to lose the game, but the most feared thing is that you can't afford to lose. Ren Yingze was obviously anxious in the last few times, and even ignored the rules of the game, not only making him feel aggrieved, but also having no face with Hangzhou Fuxue.
Gu Yunji walked over gracefully, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it?" Have you taken it? β
Ren Yingze's face was ruthless, and he unwillingly popped out words from between his teeth: "No, serve!" It was an accident just now, and I'm going to compete with you again! β
Two days after tomorrow, two chapters will be added on the basis of the original update, morning
