Chapter 284: Recognizing the Pearl with a Wisdom Eye
The fourth arrow spun in, and the few times it spun made everyone very nervous.
In the end, Li Rui scored 6 points.
This score was higher than that of the previous few brothers, and Li Rui felt a little relieved.
Next up, it’s Qin Lang’s turn.
Just now, when the other brothers were playing tossing pots, Lu Qingqing practiced for a long time, but Qin Lang just stood by and watched with his hands folded. He had never seen him practice.
Lu Qingqing didn't have much hope at first, but she didn't expect Qin Lang to be a hidden master!
After being hit by three arrows in a row, Li Rui was no longer calm.
He walked around the field in circles, his eyes fixed on the arrow in Qin Lang's hand, but he was muttering to himself.
When the fourth arrow missed, Li Rui jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed:
"Hahahaha, it finally didn't work! It finally didn't work!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang glared over.
Li Rui scratched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile:
"Haha, what I mean is, if I try harder next time, I'm sure I'll win!"
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. Li Rui was such a funny guy.
Qin Lang was not affected too much and scored a total of 8 points after the shot.
Next, it’s Lu Qingqing’s turn.
Because Lu Qingqing was good at archery, several fellow apprentices voted for the most likely winner - Lu Qingqing - before the game of pitching the pot.
Master Yan and his wife also think so.
Of course, Li Rui did not recognize the voting results. He thought he was the best.
Lu Qingqing was not that serious at first, but after being carried up by them, she became a little nervous.
Being stared at by her master and fellow practitioners, she felt even more nervous than when she was shooting arrows on the wall to repel the refugees that morning.
After rubbing her hands, she picked up an arrow and shook her wrists twice before she grasped the arrow slightly above it.
His eyes were fixed on the mouth of the pot, and with a flick of his wrist, the arrow shot forward in a parabola.
The arrow stuck to the mouth of the pot and swayed in.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing let out a breath.
As the wails of several senior brothers rang out, Qin Lang's celebration on the side seemed particularly abrupt.
Lu Qingqing ignored all this, took the second arrow, and aimed at the mouth of the pot.
After a few seconds, it felt like it was almost time, and the second arrow fell steadily into the mouth of the pot.
As she cast more and more, Lu Qingqing felt that she was getting more and more comfortable with it.
The next few shots were fired with just a simple aim.
Master Yan's eyes lit up as he watched from the side. He said that Daya was a good archery talent.
He was right. Look at the concentration and the accuracy.
He really has a good eye for talent!
Master Yan couldn't help but said to his wife beside him:
"Shu Ran, what I told you before was right, wasn't it?
The first time I met Daya, I knew she was talented.
Look at this pot-tossing game, it hits all the targets on the first try!"
The master's wife was the one who knew her husband best. Seeing that he was rarely like this, she smiled and said:
"Daya is indeed a good archer, and her husband is very good at judging people.
As the saying goes, there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers.
After saying this, the master's wife covered her mouth and laughed.
Hearing his wife's joke, Master Yan blushed and wanted to say something.
Li Rui came running over, half-knelt down, hugged his knees and wailed.
"Master, Daya is not on the same level as us. How about we try a different game?"
Master Yan looked at this funny guy, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, glanced at him sideways, and said nothing.
On the side, the master's wife saw Lu Qingqing starting to pitch the pot again, and felt that Li Rui was blocking her way, so she waved her hand and said:
"Xiao Rui, please move aside! You're blocking my view of Daya pitching the pot!"
Li Rui saw that his mistress, who always liked him, had changed so obviously, and he wailed:
"Since we have Yu, why do we need Liang?"
Shouting, he sat down on the ground.
Think about that exquisite dagger, and then think about the fur boots made by my master's wife.
Then, his eyes swept over the large steamed buns covered with a mat and a pile of smoked meat and dried meat on the kang table.
All these are gone!
Not long after, Lu Qingqing's results came out, 10 points!
As Qin Lang's cheers rang out, the other brothers all lowered their heads with sad looks.
Including Lu Shufu at the back, they all looked like they had lost all hope in life.
It’s over, what’s the point of comparing this!
Daya has passed the test, how can anyone get one more point than her?
The master's wife smiled and waved towards Lu Qingqing:
"Da Ya, come here quickly. Master's wife knows that you are the best. What color boots do you want?
Talk to Master’s Wife, and she promises to make it beautifully!”
Master Yan also looked at Lu Qingqing with a loving face, as if he was looking at his own daughter, and was extremely proud!
Looking at the performance of these two people, Lu Shufu at the back really wanted to shout:
Hey! And me! Can you please let me feel my presence?
Unfortunately, everyone in the room was immersed in their own emotions and no one noticed him.
Lu Shufu said, come on, I don’t want to say anything, I don’t want to do anything!
After a while, everyone remembered that the youngest junior brother had not voted yet.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lu Shufu quietly took the arrow and started to play the pot.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the game of pitching pots, talent becomes particularly important since no one has practiced in advance.
After shooting ten arrows, Lu Shufu finally scored 3 points!
Now he completely lost his temper. Well, his talent didn't lie here!
When he first became an apprentice to his master, his father advised him that everyone has different talents and that one should try to find what he is good at.
At this time, Master and his wife saw that the pitching pot game was over, took Lu Qingqing's hand, and announced to everyone:
"The final winner of today's pot-throwing competition is Daya!"
Qin Lang approached Lu Qingqing with a grin on his face, as if he was the winner.
After Lu Qingqing got the dagger, she smiled and handed it to Qin Lang who was grinning beside her.
When the other brothers saw her, they all looked at her eagerly.
Lu Qingqing pointed at the prizes on the table and waved her hand proudly:
"Let's cook these and eat them tonight. Besides these, I'll also make a separate dish of braised pork!"
This time, several fellow disciples also cheered.
People in the next room heard how lively it was and came over to take a look.
After learning that they could play the game of tossing pots, men and women from each family found similar tools and borrowed arrows to play.
There is nothing to do in winter, and everyone is very idle.
Anyway, I don’t have to worry about food and drink now, so it’s a rare moment of leisure.
The happiest ones are the children.
Throughout the afternoon, the children's happy cheers could be heard from time to time.
At this time, the atmosphere in Yang Shulin's family was no longer so harmonious.
Mother Shulin secretly called Yang Shulin to her room and whispered:
"Shulin, did you get the key?"
