Chapter 3 Comparing Arrows
"Uncle, I'm bothering you so late. This is Xiaoer Wang Jing, I have met Uncle Wang Xin, Uncle Wang Yong, and this is your cousin Wang Zhe. ”
"The family doesn't talk to each other, come in and talk. The old man said kindly.
"Are you the Wang Jing who my father often praises? Do you dare to compete with me. See if it's bragging. Wang Zhe stared at Wang Jing and said unconvinced.
"What don't you dare, it's better than that, but I'm so hungry now, I don't have the strength to pull the bow, you don't want to take advantage of me, right?" Wang Jing touched his empty belly and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to eat and drink, recharge your energy at night, and look for you early tomorrow morning, don't dare to come then." ”
"Cut, who doesn't dare to compare who is a bear. Wang Jing immediately responded. He was trying to show off his skills and suppress the people of the same age in the city to show the bird qi he had just received.
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
Wang Jing and Wang Zhe "snapped" and made a contract, and because of their excessive strength, their bodies took two steps back, causing everyone to laugh.
"Hehe, eldest nephew, you brought a lot of things with you this time, and it is estimated that you will have to stay in the city for a few days. The old man looked at the cart of items and said with a smile.
"Yes, uncle, I'm going to set up a stall here for three days, and I'm going to cause you trouble. If the sales are not satisfactory in these three days, they will be sold to the store at a low price, and the family will have to take care of it. Wang Yuan said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, Wang Jing is also the first time to enter the city, let Wang Zhe accompany him to play, take him to the city for a walk, and see the world. If you think it's okay, your family will move into the city, there is an uncle, and you won't die of hunger. The old man touched his white beard and said with a kind smile.
"Thank you, uncle. Wang Yuan bowed gratefully.
There are seven or eight houses in this courtyard, all of which are made of sycamore wood, which is much more spacious and bright than Wang Jing's thatched house. In the living room, a sumptuous meal had already been prepared, with chicken, duck and fish meat, full of fragrance, and a lot of colorful pastries and fruits, which made Wang Jing salivate.
"Eldest nephew, you and Wang Jing are not polite, eat and drink well, rest early, the room has been arranged. Let Wang Yong take you there for a while, when you are old and your body is useless, I will not accompany you. The old man thumped his back with his fist and said heartily.
"Uncle rest early, I'm sorry to disturb so late. ”
After sending Wang Xin away, Wang Jing no longer cared about who he was, feasted on the fragrant meals on the table, ate with his mouth full of oil, and patted his belly with a full burp at the end, making his father scold in a low voice.
Wang Xin really doesn't treat them as outsiders, the guest rooms are very tidy and tidy, and there are all kinds of toiletries. There are many things in the city that Wang Jing has never seen, so he touches them in the east and looks them in the west. In the blink of an eye, he tossed until midnight, and finally went to bed to rest under Wang Yuan's urging.
Early the next morning, Wang Yuan pushed the cart to sell wild things, and Wang Jing slept very sweetly because it was the first time he walked so far on the mountain road, with a satisfied smile on his face. 、
"Get up, get up, you lazy worm, are you scared of the competition, so you lie on the bed and pretend to sleep?"
The hidden door was pushed open by someone, and a high-spirited boy in a strong suit walked in, carrying a golden longbow and a pot of white feather arrows, and when he lifted Wang Jing's quilt, he shouted.
"Cut, didn't you let me recuperate? How can I compete if I don't rest? Could it be that you are afraid that you will lose the game and deliberately disturb my rest?" Wang Jing rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and yawned dissatisfied.
"Gluttony and sleep cannot be taught. You lazy worm, it's not enough to sleep one night and one morning, now that breakfast is over, the sun is burning your ass. The boy hated Wang Jing's laziness.
"Ah, it's noon? Okay, you wait, it's right away. Wang Jing saw that the sunlight outside the window was already shining on his thighs, and he couldn't help blushing, and immediately jumped off the head of the bed and quickly got dressed.
After Wang Jing finished washing up and ate the breakfast that was still hot in the pot, Wang Zhe couldn't wait to grab his hand and pull him outside the courtyard.
"Where are you going?" asked Wang Jing puzzled.
"My yard is too small, so let's go to the racecourse at the foot of the city wall, where there is a martial arts arena, which is just right for us to test our archery. Wang Zhe explained with a smile.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and my brother will lead the way. "In the archery competition, Wang Jing will not be afraid of anyone.
The martial arts arena is not far from Wang Zhe's house, running all the way, and it will take half an hour to arrive. At this time, there was no one in the martial arts arena, and the scene was deserted, but there was no one competing with them for the arrow target, so they could shoot arrows with confidence. There are ten targets in the arena side by side, each one step apart, and the white horizontal line closest to the target is ten steps, then twenty steps, thirty steps, until one hundred steps. Each horizontal line is clearly marked with black paint.
"You have little strength, let's only try twenty paces of archery, don't say I bullied you. Wang Zhe picked a middle position and said to Wang Jing.
"Whoever bullies will know in a moment, but what kind of lottery do you have in this competition? Wang Jing smiled, very confident in the twenty-step archery. He will not be stupid enough to ask for a hundred steps to wear Yang's competition, and it is better to be steady and steady by doing such an uncertain thing.
"I won, you will listen to me in the future, be my little brother, you will go wherever I go. If you win, I'll take you to the Tianxian Tower in the city to listen to the story. The story told is wonderful to know 500 years before and 500 years after, to know astronomy and geography, and the story told is wonderful, ensuring that you don't want to leave after listening to it. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. You're the elder brother, you come first. ”
Wang Jing loved to listen to stories when he was a child, but unfortunately his parents told them hundreds of times or those old-fashioned stories, either the big bad wolf or the little white rabbit, or there was a mountain in the past, there was a temple in the mountain, and there were two monks living in the temple, and the big monk said to the little monk that there was a mountain in the past...... I've been tired of hearing it for a long time. Now, when I hear such a legendary person tell a story, of course, I can't miss the opportunity, and the excitement is overflowing.
Wang Zhe smiled confidently and didn't talk nonsense. He took out a white feather arrow from the quiver, touched it carefully, and after checking that there was no problem, he skillfully put on the longbow, bent his knees and pulled the string, carefully aimed at the arrow target twenty paces away, and shot it out with a whoosh.
The feather arrow carried the sound of the wind, like a white streamer, and instantly inserted into the target, although it was not in the middle, but it was not bad to be able to hit it twenty steps away.
Then, the second and the third, shot a total of ten arrows, one of which was inserted into the heart in the middle of the target, one in the ring outside the heart, and the other three on the edge of the target. Five out of ten are also considered to be missed.
"Hahaha, good archery!" Wang Jing clapped his hands and laughed.
Wang Zhe touched the sweat on his forehead, and said to Wang Jing proudly: "How about it, brother's archery skills are okay, if you think the gap is too far, you can not compare, and I won't embarrass you too much." ”
"I'm still waiting for you to take me to Tianxian Tower to listen to books. ”
Wang Jing laughed, picked up the arrows from those targets, adjusted the arrows of the arrow shafts, and stood in the position where Wang Zhe had just now.
I saw Wang Jing bending down and striding forward, with a big palm bow, facing the bullseye in front of him is an arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, it hit the outside of the bull's-eye, slightly better than Wang Zhe.
Wang Jing shook his head dissatisfied, and then shot the arrow right on the bull's-eye. The three arrows in the back, the arrows hit the bull's-eye, shooting the best record in Wang Jing's history.
Wang Zhe, who was standing on the side, saw that Wang Jing's archery level was strong, and he was more than a little bit stronger, and his little face was flushed, but he didn't admit defeat.
"Big brother, the younger brother's archery skills are still in your eyes, right?" Wang Jing let out a long breath, put down the longbow in his hand, and said with a smug smile.
"Yes, quite a general, I was convinced. You don't have to shoot anymore later, I'll admit defeat, I'll take you to the teahouse to listen to the book now. ”
Wang Zhe picked up the longbow and arrows and said shyly.
The two of them came to the teahouse, and the storyteller was telling the wonderful story of an ancient immortal cultivator named Han Li, who slaughtered all directions in the blood-colored trial. The glittering golden talisman, the invisible silk thread magic weapon that kills people, and the nervous excitement of everyone's fighting methods, the two of them are boiling with blood, and they can't wait to find a sect to immediately cultivate into immortals with boundless mana.
