When the wedding procession walked to the gate of Liu's house, the sky was already bright. There were already many people waiting at the gate, and Zhang Xiaohua led the horse to the front of everyone, and then stopped. Waiting for Zhang Xiaolong to turn over and dismount, Zhang Xiaohua handed over the reins of the horse to the Liu family who came over.

Everyone gave Zhang Xiaolong their hands and said, "Groom official, congratulations." Zhang Xiaolong also happily returned the salute to everyone, and then, everyone gave way to make a way, Zhang Xiaohua raised her eyes and saw that there was a wooden shelf next to the gate, and a bow was placed on top of the shelf. This is the rule of the countryside, the first thing the groom marries is to shoot three arrows to the sky at the gate of the bride, which means to drive away all the demons and evils, and I have seen it when I married my daughter-in-law in other people's homes in the past, but at this time, although Zhang Xiaolong's arm injury is healed, the work in the field is still a problem, how can I pull a bow and shoot arrows?

It seems that this matter can only be done by the best man Zhang Xiaohua, but Zhang Xiaohua is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and it is too far-fetched to ask him to pull this bow and arrow, and everyone looks at each other a little. Zhang Xiaolong thought about it and stepped forward, about to get the bow, Zhang Xiaohua was anxious, and quickly grabbed the eldest brother and said, "Big brother, your arm is just right, how can you pull this thing? ”

Zhang Xiaolong said with a smile: "It's okay, just pull the archery, I still have this energy." You're still young, how can you shoot a bow and arrows?"

Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and said: "Big brother, you are underestimating me, I can open up the field and cultivate the land myself, how can I not have the strength, let me try, if I don't succeed, you come again, we are not a loss of face, don't you say?"

Zhang Xiaolong thought about it, anyway, the best man was doing things for the groom when he got married, Xiaohua really couldn't pull it away, so he had to go on it himself, it is estimated that Mr. Liu knew that his arm was not good enough, and there should be a soft bow on the shelf, which could be pulled away without too much effort.

I saw Zhang Xiaohua walk to the shelf, take down the big bow from the shelf as high as himself, and it felt very heavy to start, he had never pulled the bow and arrow, thinking that all the bows were very heavy, and he didn't care, and then, he picked up an arrow without an arrow from the shelf, put it on the bow, and turned around and asked Zhang Xiaolong: "Big brother, where to shoot?"

Zhang Xiaolong pointed to the sky outside the village and said, "Over there." ”

Zhang Xiaohua agreed, learned to look at people before, took a horse step, and then, facing the sky, pulled up the bowstring hard, but the bowstring turned out to be very tight, Zhang Xiaohua pulled about three points full, and he couldn't pull it, he couldn't help blushing, it was said that at this time he let go of his hand and shot the arrow, but he opened the bow and shot the arrow for the first time, and he used to see others all pulled like a full moon, thinking that it had to be completely pulled away, so he took a deep breath again, and the two arms competed, and sure enough, he felt a force born from the arm again, he shouted, and the bow and arrow were immediately pulled into a full moon shape, He looked at the morning glow outside the village with confidence, let go of the bowstring that was also tight, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh" like a meteor.

The remaining two arrows Zhang Xiaohua concocted in the same way, shooting them far out of the Bali ditch, and when the three arrows were shot, Zhang Xiaohua felt that her arms were sore, and she couldn't lift it, and couldn't put the bow on the shelf, at this time everyone applauded Zhang Xiaohua's strength, only Zhang Xiaolong saw the abnormality, he hurriedly walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua, took the bow, and was about to put it on the shelf, but unexpectedly his hand sank, and he quickly used a little more strength to catch it, Zhang Xiaolong's heart was very surprised, why is this soft bow so heavy? However, at this time, everyone had already surrounded him, and he didn't allow him to think about it carefully, so he put the bow on the shelf, and was surrounded by everyone and walked into the Liu family's compound, leaving only the bow alone on the shelf.

At the same time that Zhang Xiaolong was surrounded into the Liu family's compound, Zhang Orion at the north end of Baligou was packing up and preparing to go up the mountain to hunt. He went into the hut where the bow and arrows were kept, and in a short time he came out in a rage and asked his mother-in-law, "Where's the bow on the shelf?"

His mother-in-law said strangely, "Which bow?" I know how I never entered that hut. ”

Zhang Orion was anxious and said, "It's the five-stone bow handed down from my ancestors, and it's on the top of the right shelf." I saw it the day before yesterday, but it's gone today, could it be that my house was burglarized yesterday?"

His mother-in-law was having breakfast on the stove, when she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran out, saying: "I remember, the child's father, Mr. Liu, who taught yesterday, sent someone to borrow a soft bow, presumably for his son-in-law today, I was afraid that I couldn't pull it open, so I specially told him, I was packing up the clothes for the child, so I asked someone to get it by myself, I remember you said that there is a mouth on the upper shelf that you are doing for your own use, so I told him." ”

Zhang Orion asked, "Did you see that person take it out?"

His mother-in-law said ashamedly: "I told me, but isn't it just something you made blindly, and I didn't bother to look at it, so I let him take it." ”

Zhang Orion immediately scolded: "You loser girl, it's not good to borrow things, people have taken away our ancestral things, you are too lazy to take a look, besides, Mr. Liu has always been very good to us, the children in our village are called by him, there must be a reason why people came to borrow a soft bow, you are good, you gave Zhang a bow that no one has pulled for more than ten years, isn't this a deliberate attempt to cut people's face? Wait for me to come back and see how to clean you up." “

After speaking, Zhang Orion hurriedly ran out. When he ran to the gate of Liu's house, Zhang Xiaolong and others had already walked into the courtyard, and his ancestral strong bow was placed on the shelf at the door. ”

The person inside answered, "Haode, got it." ”

Zhang Orion hurriedly took the bow, held it in his arms like a baby, and hurried away with guilt on his face, for fear that people would stop him, and scolded him for taking a bow that no one could pull away.

At this time, Zhang Xiaolong has been accompanied by Zhang Xiaohua, walked to the door of Liu Qian's boudoir, according to the rules of the township, if the groom wants the bride to open the door, he must answer the questions raised by the bride, and only when the answer is satisfactory can he open the door, in fact, most of the questions raised are bridesmaids and others, and it is impossible for the bride to embarrass her future pillow person. Zhang Xiaolong is also facing this problem now, Mr. Liu has always been a poet and a book, and most of the people in this courtyard are literati, and there is no one who understands martial arts, otherwise Zhang Xiaohua's shocking three arrows just now would not have been seen by anyone. Although Mr. Liu also told his friends and students in advance that his son-in-law was born with mud legs, don't embarrass him too much, but, to be honest, Mr. Liu, a smart and virtuous daughter, is not worried about one or two, and today he was actually married by a person who is not in his circle, and there are really a few people in this guest who are not angry, but of course, it is obvious that he can't do it in front of Mr. Liu, and there are a few good people who are thinking about how to embarrass Zhang Xiaolong on the bride's issue, then Liu Yueyue is of course Liu Qian's bridesmaid, this girl has always been the master who is not afraid of things, and she has never been able to do things, no, the first question is: Let Zhang Xiaolong write a few words and show his calligraphy.

As soon as this question came out, Liu Qian in the boudoir glared at Liu Yueyue with disgust and asked, "Whose idea is this? Why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Yueyue said in a coquettish voice: "Sister, it's what a group of people outside said, I have swept my brother-in-law's face at this time, it's okay, it's okay, and I can urge him to learn calligraphy in the future, what do you say?"

This Liu Qian smiled bitterly in her heart, what can I say? Your question has come out, can I take it back? Alas, I just don't know if Xiaolong will blame me in the future.

Mr. Liu in the hall also had a little ugly on his face, which was obviously ugly for his son-in-law, but what the marriage was about was a lively one, no matter how much nonsense he was, he couldn't be blamed, it was up to Zhang Xiaolong to deal with it, if it really didn't work, he would write it blindly, it was nothing, anyway, he was originally a farmer.

Zhang Xiaolong's faces were also very weird, afraid of something, Zhang Xiaolong sighed in his heart, stepped forward, and was about to write a few coping words, at this time Zhang Xiaohua once again grabbed the eldest brother's arm and said, "Don't be impatient, big brother, I'll try." ”

"You, can you do it?" Zhang Xiaolong was a little puzzled.

Zhang Xiaohua patted his hand and said, "It's still the same sentence, I can't do it, you come again." ”

Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward and said to everyone: "Everyone, it's still the same old saying, my eldest brother's arm injury is not healed, and I will write this word on my behalf." ”

After speaking, he walked to the shop haode pen, ink, paper and inkstone, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up, he raised his head and said: "Everyone, you don't need this ink, paper and inkstone to help you today." ”

Everyone wondered, "What is that for?"

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Is there a ready-made mop? I will use the mop to write a few big characters for you today." ”

"How do you write that?" someone asked curiously. While speaking, someone had already brought the mop over, Zhang Xiaohua found a basin, poured the grinding haode ink into the basin, put the mop into the basin, dipped it, held the mop rod with both hands, brewed it carefully in his heart, picked up the mop and wrote two big characters on the bluestone slab in Mr. Liu's compound: "Ethereal".

These two words are written in an antique and elegant manner, and Zhang Xiaohua did it in one go, which made the onlookers stunned. Mr. Liu in the hall listened to the noise outside, and suddenly the silence was abnormal, and he also came out of the hall, and when he saw the two words on the bluestone slab, he didn't speak, and he tasted it carefully, but he was also stupid.

Speaking of the word "ethereal", it is the word on the token, after Zhang Xiaohua asked someone to recognize it that day, he simulated, tasted, and practiced how to write in his heart more than once, other words, such as: Zhang Xiaohua, he can't write anyway, and these two words have been deeply imprinted into his heart like an engraving, naturally it is easy to come, of course, just because he is not enrolled in the level, writing brush words must be ridiculed, and writing with a mop this thing, naturally you don't have to mind things like that,
