Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 11
Within a few days of this era, Liang Xiao has already been despised by many people.

When Tu Niu'er asked him how to get revenge on Hu Lai, he hesitated for a moment, being despised by Tu Niu'er.

He was despised by his old lady when he used small tricks to make people startled.

Now, he didn't want to hang out with the rebels and be despised by this prisoner again.

Liang Xiao was very depressed.Whoever I provoke, why do you despise me one by one.It's fine for others to despise me. Tu Niu'er is a rascal, and my wife is a woman. This Mr. Huan is a bit heroic, but his identity... Pooh, you are so confused, how dare you laugh at me?

Liang Xiao decided not to argue with this conceited guy.I don't expect to be a sharp archer who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, and can reach the level of attracting strong people. It is enough to make a small contribution and exchange a few acres of fertile land, or become a small official and sneak into the ranks of the ruling class.

It wasn't that Liang Xiao wanted to separate himself from the masses, it was because the masses were hard to be with.You can see how popular the civil service examination is in the 21st century. In China’s feudal society in 2000, officials were all based on official standards, and the benefits were all obtained by officials. When the times are bad, the only thing to do is to sell children and daughters, gnaw bark, and swallow grass roots.In the words of Lu Xun, it is impossible to be a slave if you want to.

Liang Xiao doesn't have that much ability, he can't change this era, he can only adapt to this era.I was unlucky, I couldn't be a second-generation official, and I couldn't be a ready-made yamen. Fortunately, I was born in a great era of opening up the territory and had the opportunity to become an official with military merits.If you don't seize this opportunity to change your own destiny, you will not be ashamed of your identity as a time traveler.

That's why Liang Xiao racked his brains to learn archery.In the era of cold weapons, archery is the most brilliant martial art.For a long time, good riding has been synonymous with masters.If you can kill with one arrow from a hundred paces away, who will slash with you with a saber?

However, it would not be worthwhile if a few lawbreakers got involved in order to learn archery.Liang Xiao hoped to get advice from the prisoner, but he didn't want to get too close to him, so he had to be careful.Everyone exchanged equal value, he took care of the prisoner's food, and the prisoner taught him some basic skills, and no one owed anyone.

Of course, no one can despise anyone.

As a result, the prisoner despises him, and he is resentful, feeling hurt and humiliated.

Liang Xiao slandered while continuing to practice.

After practicing bow drawing for half a day, Liang Xiao was sweating profusely and his whole body was sore and limp.At this moment, he understood a little bit what the prisoner meant.Learning boxing is easy and changing boxing is difficult. To correct the bad habit of shrugging, it is not a matter of a day or two.

However, Liang Xiao knew very well that if he didn't want to be a farmer with his face to the loess and his back to the sky, he would have no other way out but this chance.It sounds very passionate to become an official with military merits, but it is actually very dangerous.If you want to bleed less, you can't be afraid of sweating at this time.

Under the sunshine in June, Liang Xiao was sweating profusely, practicing bowing over and over again.

The prisoner sat on the porch, leaning against the dirt wall, his eyes half-closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

In the west wing room, Mrs. Liang devoted herself to weaving cotton, and the loom didn't stop for a moment.

……

For three days in a row, apart from eating and sleeping, Liang Xiao was always trying to figure out the essentials of how to draw the bow. He was almost dazed, which made Liang Nai a little worried.However, Liang Yu didn't say anything, but quietly cooked two more chickens, and extended the brocade weaving time by another half an hour.

On the fifth day, suddenly, like an epiphany, Liang Xiao suddenly understood the key to opening the bow, especially the function of loosening the shoulders.His left arm was stretched out, and his right hand hooked a string that didn't exist. His eyes followed his left arm and looked at the archery target in the corner, with a bright smile on his face.

"Understood?" The prisoner who was dozing off under the east corridor yawned and opened his sleepy eyes.

"It seems... I understand." Liang Xiao lowered his arms and walked in front of the prisoner, respectful like a schoolboy. "You need to use your whole body to draw the bow, and loosen your shoulders for the sake of smooth progress."

"Well, although the aptitude is a little bit low, and the understanding is not high enough, it is finally diligent." The prisoner turned around, opened his arms, and used a bow posture again.In an instant, the lazy prisoner disappeared, and Liang Xiao seemed to see a strong man who could lift a tripod, full of majestic strength.

Liang Xiao didn't dare to neglect, his eyes widened, and he refused to let go of any details.

After a few days of practice, he has a personal experience of this movement, and has some experience. Watching it now, he understands more than when he watched it for the first time.He saw the movement of the prisoner's entire back muscles, and vaguely saw a rhythm hidden in it, like a stream of water, born from the waist, spread out on the back, poured into the arms, and turned into a torrent.

"Continue to practice." The prisoner regained his sleepy look in a blink of an eye and patted his mouth. "I'm going to sleep for a while, I'm really sleepy."

Liang Xiao watched the prisoner go back to the house, and continued to practice shooting in the corridor.He carefully recalled the prisoner's posture just now, and carefully felt the muscle movements caused by each movement, hoping that one day he would be as strong as the prisoner.

The more Liang Xiao practiced, the more fascinated he became. Although he didn't have a bow in his hand, he felt more and more the magical effect of this kind of empty training.Unknowingly, he had a vague feeling that there was no bow in his hand, but a bow in his heart.

Just when he was enjoying it, Tu Niuer rushed in.

"A Xiao, A Xiao, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Liang Xiao raised his left arm flat, his right arm hooked the non-existent bowstring, and looked ahead motionless.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tu Niu'er scratched his head when he saw Liang Xiao's strange posture. "Did you do something wrong and Aunt Liang punished you?"

Liang Xiao slowly lowered his arms, and said with a smile, "What can I do wrong. Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Oh, Hu Lai got hurt from the fall and said you were the culprit and wanted to fight you."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and the thought really came.He thought for a while, and seeing Tu Niu'er's thick eyebrows frowned again, knowing that if he didn't speak again, he would be despised by Tu Niu'er again, he had no choice but to ask, "How is he going to fight?"

"The day after tomorrow at the Golden Chamber Mountain, one-on-one, regardless of life or death, the dead will be directly buried in the Golden Chamber Mountain."

"One to one?" Liang Xiao was very surprised, wondering if he heard it wrong.Did I make a mistake, did Hu Lai break his brain, and he wanted to fight me one-on-one with so many fools?How can this be a dude, this is simply aristocratic.

Tu Niu'er was even more surprised. "Since it's a duel, of course it's one-on-one. If the more bullies the less, how will he see people after he's messed up? But, Ah Xiao, don't be careless. Although bullshit is not a thing, martial arts are good, especially good at fighting. If you get close to him, you have no chance of winning."

Liang Xiao laughed and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.One-on-one, no one is afraid of whom.Although Hu Lai is strong, he is a teenager after all. In the final analysis, it is just children fighting, how can it be so serious.

"Okay, a duel is a duel. Niu'er, please tell Hu Lai, just say that I agree, and I will be with him in the Golden Chamber Mountain the day after tomorrow..." Liang Xiao thought about it more and more, and couldn't help laughing out loud. "Duel, I will fight him."
