Chapter 66: Talent and Effort
In the distance, a hand shook excitedly.
This is the sign of the "victory" she agreed with the little girl!
Yan Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, and sure enough......
She drew her bow with an arrow and shot it again a few times, and each time the arrow missed a miss, and all of them hit the bull's-eye.
Even the little guy in the distance was amazed, and listed the eldest lady as his number one object of admiration. Miss was the most gifted person he had ever seen who practiced archery, she was simply a genius, and the arrows she shot could almost hit every shot. Who can do this kind of level? Anyway, he hasn't seen it yet.
Is Yan Zhuo a genius?
She never thought of it that way herself.
In fact, talent is only one aspect, the most important thing is that Yan Zhuo's hard work has been helping her. God rewards hard work, this sentence is not false, but there is a premise not to forget, it is placed before hard work, that is, the right direction, and a certain talent.
Talent is often overlooked, and it seems that as long as anyone studies hard and sheds blood and tears, one day something can be done. However, this man who has been famous for generations and has been said like thunder has not succeeded because of his talent and hard work.
Yan Zhuo had seen such a woman before.
She said that she loved to dance, but Yan Zhuo observed for a long time and saw that she did not have the talent for this area. She has also learned to dance for a long time, but her limbs are naturally uncoordinated, and she is even stiffer when she dances, and there is no soft and agile feeling in her movements, like a piece of wood swaying from side to side.
Moreover, when dancing, she can't keep up with the melody, always fast and slow, and her movements are wrong...... For this, many people laughed at her. She also feels that as long as she works hard, she will definitely succeed one day and become famous in a dance, and at that time, let those who laugh at her shut their mouths.
However, she has been practicing for several years now, and she still has no progress in dancing. On the contrary, the Danqing technique she later learned made her famous.
Including Yan Zhuo, she can't do everything well. Therefore, no matter what you learn, hard work is a must, and talent is a mandatory requirement.
Yan Zhuo practiced this riding and archery technique, and naturally he was also a little talented, so it was very easy to get started.
At this time, the arrow hit the bull's-eye, and Yan Zhuo didn't feel that she was a genius, she just made enough efforts on top of some talent. Therefore, she was just happy that her efforts had been gained, and she was not complacent and happy.
Seventy meters!
Yan Zhuo once again instructed the little guy to take the target to a place of seventy meters.
A little far away, she closed her left eye to allow her right eye to better aim at the bull's-eye. This distance is not too difficult, and she is still a good result in the stabilization.
The distance increased to a hundred meters.
A hundred meters, it's a little difficult.
The ancients often said that a hundred steps through the Yang, which is to describe the superb skills of the archers. A hundred steps, in the man's place, is about eighty to one hundred meters. I don't know if Yan Zhuo can succeed at this distance of 100 meters.
This is even more a test of her strength and mind.
She took a deep breath, blinked her slightly tired eyes, drew her bow with all her strength, aimed the arrow at the measured distance, and shot it again.
The tail of the arrow draws a sharp curve in the air.
The little guy had already thrown himself to the ground at this time, so he watched the arrow coming, standing in front of the target and not moving, this time, he believed that the young lady could still hit with an arrow.
However, the facts gave him a critical blow.
Let him clearly understand a truth. How dangerous it is to trust others too much and put your own life in the hands of others!
I saw that the arrow, coming through the wind, shook its tail feather, and nailed it straight to his feet, and if it was a little closer, his feet would be gone.
The little guy looked at the arrow dangling in front of his feet in a daze, a little incredulous, and a little frightened. He trembled his legs, looked up at Yan Zhuo timidly, and saw that Yan Zhuo in the distance seemed to be a little sorry, looking at him, and shook his hand gently, as if to ask him if he was okay.
His mind was a little dazed at this time, but out of a sense of responsibility for his own affairs, he still stood in place, tremblingly raised his hands, and punched an X on his head. Immediately, he took a step and quickly ran to the side, far away from the target. He almost became a target, okay, if he didn't get far away, he would die, crying......
Yan Zhuo looked at the little guy who ran away, and secretly supported his forehead, eh, this time it was really too much.
It seems that the intensity should not be enough.
Yan Zhuo condensed his eyes and thought deeply, and once again increased the strength of pulling the bow, the bow had been pulled to the fullest extent, and could not continue to pull, Yan Zhuo once again estimated the distance and direction, and after aiming, he released the arrow.
This time, it should be possible, she thought to herself.
The little guy on the opposite side slowly raised his hand after stepping forward to check it......
The hand shook a little, and then crossed again, and still missed!
Yan Zhuo was a little disappointed in her heart, she looked at the opposite side, and the little guy on the opposite side took a step forward and picked up the missed arrow, and signaled to her the position.
Alas, it's still not enough.
She tried again to assist with internal force, drew her bow again, and shot the arrow.
The arrow was full of burning expectations, and with the addition of internal force, it couldn't wait to sprint to the bullseye on the opposite side.
This time......
Above the red heart, an arrow was shaking its body, as if singing a song of success.
Hit it, this time it's the bull's-eye!
It seems that it is the culprit of his failure.
Yan Zhuo looked at the bow he was holding. It is said that "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", which is not deceiving, but she didn't expect that the failure to shoot was because its bow strength was too small. Now that the bow was gone, Yan Zhuo easily said "break up" to it, and replaced it with another bow that was bigger, better, and stronger.
Thanks to this is the Zhenguo Mansion, otherwise, the family would not have such good conditions, with many bows and arrows and other things, so that she can choose at will.
The bow and arrow opened and closed, and this time, she followed the method summarized before, and another arrow won the bid.
No matter how far she was, she didn't want to try it, and this distance was far enough for hunting.
The horse neighed, Yan Zhuo held a bow and arrow, and sat on the horse's back like a majestic female general.
She patted the horse lightly, and the horse paced from side to side. Yan Zhuo fixed the whole person on the horse's back, and then stopped caring about the horse, she raised her arm, and quickly pulled her bow and shot an arrow when the horse appeared in the gap directly in front of the arrow target.
Arrows, shot out.
Looking at the results, it seems to be not bad.
Although the arrow did not hit the bull's-eye, it still occupied the position of the seven-point ring on the target, and it was still quite close to the bull's-eye. Yan Zhuo was satisfied with the results of her first attempt at archery on horseback, and a shallow smile flew on her lips.
You must know that archery on horseback is not a simple addition of horseback riding and archery, it needs to take into account the strength and accuracy of archery while riding a horse, and it requires agility, flexibility and dexterity.
The horses swayed, left and right, and the time to pass by the target was too short...... and so on, will make the accuracy of archery drop sharply, and also force the archer, must seize every opportunity to pass by the bull's-eye, with extremely fast calculation power, calculate the wind, offset, the speed of the horse's movement, and then with extremely fast reaction ability, allocate enough strength, set up a bow to shoot arrows......
All of this must be mastered by the shooter and be more skilled, so that he can hit the target.
If there is a slight mistake as thin as a hair, in such an environment, it will be "a small difference, a thousand miles wrong". Unless there is an adventure from the sky, the arrow will definitely not be able to catch the bull's-eye.
And when the horse is running at full strength, it is more difficult to shoot at the target, faster, more powerful, and more accurate in calculation, which is more testing.
What's the hardest part? Shooting. You, your horse, your prey, are all moving, and there is no pattern to speak of, you can only aim at the right time, and act quickly! This requires the absolute ability of a shooter, to strike reflexively.
Looking at it this way, it seems that no matter how hard Yan Zhuo tries in the past few days, he is destined to only go to soy sauce. However, Yan Zhuo is not so pessimistic, how can he know where his limits are if he doesn't work hard?
Yan Zhuo held the bow and arrow again, aimed at the right time and shot out. This time, it's closer.
Again, again......
Indomitable, let's just talk about the words of this life.
Yan Zhuo lowered his body, reduced the amplitude of his body swing, made full strength, and pulled his bow and shot an arrow again, only to hear a bang, and above the bull's-eye, it was once again occupied by an arrow feather.
Yes!
Yan Zhuo secretly encouraged himself in his heart, it was great, and finally, he hit the red heart again.
As if to verify his strength, and also to better familiarize himself with his ability to shoot arrows, Yan Zhuo pulled out the arrow from the quiver behind his back and practiced it a few more times.
In the middle of the next game, you can enter the next level.
Yan Zhuo's eyes showed a confident look, as long as she worked hard enough, as long as she studied enough, she believed that she could.
She gently pulled the reins and turned around, and as soon as she clamped the horse's belly, the horse was slightly pained, and ran.
The little guy standing in place looked at Yan Zhuo's figure gradually moving away, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he was a little dumbfounded, not knowing why. Miss just practiced well, what's going on?
Without an order, he didn't dare to take the target, so he looked at Yan Zhuo's back, stood in place, watched, and waited.
Otherwise, the little guy on duty today is really miserable. He was almost shot and didn't say anything, and now he was abandoned in place again, without saying a word to him.
But the little guy is actually quite happy in his heart, the eldest lady is good, she doesn't scold people easily, she doesn't practice her kung fu well, and she won't blame him, unlike the one in the house, who whips people with whips at every turn, and says it's their fault......
......
He shuddered at the thought of the man, as if remembering the pain of the whip on his body.
