Sure enough, one arrow hit the target, but the other one missed the mark.
After a while, Xu Nuo's arm holding the bow lowered. She put the bow back on her back, turned her horse's head, and faced Xiao Yuan, with the same expression on her face as before.
"Can you tell me the secret you mentioned earlier?" She raised her head, pulled the reins and walked around Xiao Yuan.
There is no shortcut to accomplishing something, but there is still a difference between a stupid way and a smart way, and she is the one who is willing to spend some extra time to learn the smart way.
Xiao Yuan saw that she was not affected by the miss of the arrow just now. He put down his anxious heart, covered her head with a curtain, and said: "Liu Niang, your accuracy in shooting is fine, but your strength is a bit lacking. Simply shooting the arrow at the bullseye will hardly kill the enemy. When controlling the string, lift your index finger slightly upward by half an inch and don't raise the arrow too high. The shooting speed will be faster and the force will be increased. The arm..."
As he spoke, he took out a bow and arrow and showed Xu Nuo the fingering technique.
Xu Nuo nodded. According to the principles of mechanics, Xiao Yuan's statement was correct. The time for an arrow to fall due to gravity is inversely proportional to the speed of the arrow.
The arrow rises, the arc of the arrow is larger after being shot, the falling time increases, and the arrow speed will naturally be slower.
"I'll shoot a circle to show you. You go to the shade of the tree first." After saying that, Xiao Yuan rode his horse to the position corresponding to the first archery target.
Xu Nuo reined in her horse and stopped where she was, and took off the curtain hat that Xiao Yuan had used to protect her from the sun.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the broken hair on her forehead, revealing her smooth forehead, with fine sweat oozing out from it.
Her eyes had always been indifferent, but now they were unusually bright, staring at Xiao Yuan not far away.
Xiao Yuan drew the bow, his strong arms seemed to contain infinite power, and the bow in his hand was drawn almost to a full circle.
He sat upright on the horse, as steady as a mountain, with a resolute and serious expression.
Xu Nuo watched from a distance, his hand holding the reins became a little stronger, his breathing became shallower, and his eyes stared at Xiao Yuan motionlessly, for fear of missing something when he blinked.
The black horse galloped forward and passed the first target, but Xiao Yuan did not let go.
Finally, when the black horse passed the second target, the arrow flew away from the string.
At this moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Just looking at it from a distance, Xu Nuo could feel the power contained in this arrow.
The momentum is overwhelming and no one can stop it.
The martial arts training ground was obviously quiet and only a few insect chirps could be heard, but there was a whistling sound in her ears, and there was a sound wherever the arrow hit.
Before the first arrow hit the target, Xiao Yuan had already taken out the second one. When he shot the second arrow, the first arrow hit the target.
Half of the arrow body sank into the target.
Xu Nuo had never seen Xiao Yuan like this. Although he only wore an ordinary riding uniform, and although he was under eighteen years old, here she saw a soldier who fought bravely and fearlessly on the battlefield. , courageous and resourceful.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan was focused and determined, and nothing could disturb him.
Every arrow is so powerful and shocking.
Xu Nuo tried his best just now and could shoot one arrow every five targets. However, Xiao Yuan shot one arrow every three targets. It is really rare for the arrow to maintain strong power at such a speed. .
Xiao Yuan finished shooting the arrow and rode over. Before he arrived, he called out: "Liu Niang, why didn't you go under the shade of the tree? You may get sunstroke."
Xu Nuo grinned and said, "It's not hot."
"Why isn't it hot? She's already sweating." Xiao Yuan saw the sweat on Xu Nuo's temples and hurriedly took a handkerchief from his arms to help her wipe away the sweat. "Let's go to the house and rest for a while."
He has been practicing under the scorching sun all year round, and he just shot a circle of arrows today. Naturally, he won't be tired, but he is worried that Xu Nuo's body won't be able to bear it.
Xu Nuo nodded and said, "Come here."
Xiao Yuan leaned closer to Xunuo, and saw Xunuo pinching his sleeves and wiping his sweat.
"Your archery skills are very powerful. Hu Ling is indeed incomparable." Xu Nuo squinted his eyes against the sunlight, but there was a rare expression of admiration like a girl's on his face.
Xiao Yuan grabbed Xu Nuo's wrist and said happily: "Liu Niang, can you help... wipe my sweat for me?"
"The kindness of a drop of sweat will be repaid with a spring of spring." Xu Nuo patted Xiao Yuan's hand away and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks with his sleeves.
The two of them arrived at the house. Xiao Yuan found some food, mixed it a little and served it on a plate. They ate some food, went out to practice archery for half an hour, came back, changed their clothes, and went to the back of the martial arts training ground as he said. great scenery.
He drove his horse out of the back door of the martial arts training ground, walked around a hill, passed through the canyon, and finally arrived at the place Xiao Yuan mentioned.
A crystal clear river separates this place. On both sides of the river are grasslands covered with flowers of various colors. At this moment, the sun is heading west, and it is a shady place. There is a breeze blowing from time to time, which is very comfortable.
"It's so beautiful." Xu Nuo didn't expect such a scenery to be so close to Bianjing City.
Xiao Yuan turned over and dismounted, then stretched out his hand to receive the promise.
Xu Nuo held Xiao Yuan's hand and stepped off the horse, walked quickly to the river, looked at the stones in the river and the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the river.
"Liu Niang." Xiao Yuan suddenly appeared behind her.
Xu Nuo turned around and saw him holding a bouquet of colorful wild flowers and kneeling on the ground.
"You said that if I want to marry you, I must bring flowers and a ring, kneel on one knee, and swear to you. Soon I will go north, so I can't wait to tell you my vow."
Xu Nuo did not expect that Xiao Yuan would propose to her, and she was both happy and surprised.
"Liu Niang, these mountains, waters, and objects can all bear witness to my love and loyalty to you. I will respect you and love you throughout my life, I will not make you sad, and I will protect you with everything I have."
After he finished speaking, he took out a gold ring, which he had made by himself.
Xiao Yuan said it very seriously, every word was his promise and his full love.
His eyes were full of affection, making him want to promise to protect her for the rest of his life.
Xu Nuo's eyes moved slightly, and she held Xiao Yuan's hand, but did not accept the flowers and rings he handed over.
The flower is beautiful and has a nice fragrance.
Xiao Yuan's sincerity today moved her.
He had confessed to her a long time ago. He said: "Liu Niang, I am willing to protect you for the rest of my life. I will not let you be wronged or make you sad. I will cook you the most delicious food every day and use the best ingredients." fabrics to make clothes for you. I am willing to do anything for you, and I will give you whatever you want."
He also said that he would come to propose marriage to her when she was fifteen years old.
She agreed to his confession, but she also told him at the time that she hoped he wouldn't care about her past.
Xu Nuo originally planned to confess her true identity to Xiao Yuan when she was fifteen years old and came to propose marriage to him, and told him that she was not really promising.
Now he proposes suddenly, bringing the matter forward two years.
And she, she wasn't ready yet. (To be continued.)
