chasing autumn

afternoon.

The martial field in the backyard of the Chen family.

Zhan Hao looked indifferent and stood with his hands behind his back.

Chen Xiao stood not far from him for a long time, but Zhan Hao didn't speak, and he didn't dare to open his mouth.I don't know why, although his father often taught him harsh words, but he has never been so nervous——

Standing next to this person, there will be a strong sense of oppression:

It seems that any small mistake or mistake may destroy something!Cracked, shattered, and then, never made up again!

"what do you want to learn?"

After a long time, Zhan Hao suddenly spoke slowly.

Seeing that he finally spoke, Chen Xiao was shocked, collected his mind, and said firmly: "I want to learn the stunt that brother Huolian used in the Royal Academy, to smash the bow and smash the target!" After he finished speaking, unexpectedly, there was another Field silence.

Zhan Hao hummed, nodded with a smile, "Then let me see your archery skills first."

As Zhan Hao said, he pointed to a straw target in the distance.

"it is good!"

Chen Xiao immediately came to his senses, took out his bow and set up an arrow.One must know that bending bow and archery is his strong point, and few people in the entire barracks can match him.An arrow was shot, and there was a "swish", although the arrow handle was slightly deflected, but the arrow tip hit the bull's-eye accurately, and hit the target firmly.Chen Xiao retracted his bow, "Uncle, how are you?" When he said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Archery is too easy for him! ——Chen Xiao slightly let go of his hanging heart.

No, Zhan Hao glanced at the target, and said solemnly with displeasure: "It's not enough just to hit the target, what I want is straightness, accuracy and strength! - The arrow does not deviate, the handle is not crooked, and it goes straight through the target. Noodles! Can you do it?"

"I can handle it!"

Chen Xiao bent his bow again to test the arrow, this time, the arrow hilt was still crooked... He had never paid attention to this problem before, and he never imagined that it would be so difficult to ensure that the arrow hilt is straight and perpendicular to the target surface...

Zhan Hao stood by and watched for a long time. Chen Xiao shot nearly a hundred times, but none of them met his requirements.Zhan Hao smiled faintly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, "Many things are not as simple as you imagine."

Back then, Huolian paid a high price in order to pass this test.How can you learn this in a day or two?

Watching Chen Xiao keep picking up arrows and shooting arrows, and constantly raising his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, Zhan Hao's eyes suddenly became a little dazed, as if the young man who bent his bow and practiced arrows was not Chen Xiao, but Huo Lian...

Zhan Hao couldn't help recalling that at that time, he also stood aside as he is now, watching Fire Lotus shoot arrows, and he also required integrity, accuracy and strength.If he couldn't do it, he beat him. Within half a month, he broke more than a dozen sticks... He thought, Huo Lian, it's not that he can't do it, but that he doesn't want to do it at all.At that time, his little black had just died...

Is there resentment in your heart? ...

Zhan Hao slowly came back to his senses from the memories, his heart was inexplicably tightened and his face was gloomy.When he looked up, he saw Chen Xiao standing in front of him, "Uncle! I want to see how you shoot arrows!..."

Zhan Hao knew that this was for him to demonstrate, so he took the bow and arrow.Hearing a sound of "huh", when Chen Xiao looked back, the arrow had already penetrated the bull's-eye, straight and deeply sank into the stone wall behind the straw target, leaving only a few inches of the arrow tail outside, trembling slightly.

"Wow... this is too..."

Chen Xiao was dumbfounded in shock, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhan Hao striding away and walking to the door.Zhan Hao said solemnly: "Come find me after you pass this test!"

After Zhan Hao left, Chen Xiao approached the stone wall, staring at the arrow tails on the stone wall in a daze, and secretly exclaimed: "He is my father's former friend? He is really amazing!..."

"Chen Xiao..."

"Who called me?"

Chen Xiao turned around, "Nobody... Could it be that I heard wrong..."

"Chen Xiao...above, look up..."

"Huh?...Fang Xu!! You..."

Chen Xiao looked up, was startled, jumped onto the roof, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing sneaking around here? What? Do you want to steal my family's money?..."

Fang Xu dragged him to crouch down, covered his mouth with one hand, looked around vigilantly, and rebuked nervously in a low voice: "Can you keep your voice down, I can hear you!!"

"Just say you are sneaky, what are you doing hiding here,"

Chen Xiao broke away from him, and said with a low laugh, "Even if you assassinated your father for a woman, even if you wounded the Kaifeng mansion and fled in fear of crime, just because of the friendship between our two families, my father would not take her Those who send you to report to the officials will at most send you back to Fangfu in the capital! Hehe!"

Fang Xu knew that he was deliberately ridiculing him with ill intentions, but at this critical moment, he had no time to argue with him, Fang Xu thought for a while, and smiled softly: "You are right, I just came to your house to steal of!"

"What? Are you short of money?"

After hearing what he said, Chen Xiao was not surprised but sneered, "You think I'm your sister so easy to scare? If you came to be a thief, would you tell me? Do you think I'm crazy enough to help you? This outsider robbed my home?!"

"I think you will! . . . "

Fang Xu smiled meaningfully, "... What I want to grab is the blueprint that your father got from Master Yu this afternoon!..."
