Chapter 283 The Archer's Duel
The man with a bamboo hat slowly shook the stream in his hand and said in a thick voice, "We are both men. Let's decide who Ye Ye is a woman in a man's way."
In fact, Chen Lai doesn't want to change his tone, but for safety, he has to pretend to be another person's voice.
Bai Xia stared at the other party and said, "Do you want to compare archery with me?"
Chen Lai nodded gently.
"Good! We only compete with three arrows, and whoever wins can get Qian Yeye. Baixia said very simply and gestured to the woods beside him.
Chen Lai then raised his head and looked at the other party, "What if you regret it?"
Baixia pulled out the dagger at his waist, stroked his left arm, painted a cross on the furry, and suddenly blood rushed down. This has been grinning for ordinary people for a long time, but for him, it seems to be scratching on others! After rowing, he still stared at the cow's eyes, as if to say: Do you believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll do it again!
At this time, Chen Lai believed more that this boy was stubborn and fully believed that he was a trustworthy person. At the same time, he also understands that such a person is not a real fool, otherwise the arrow he just shot would not have penetrated hundreds of bamboos and shot into the stone before stopping.
Chen Lai respectfully saluted the other party, "Let's make three chapters."
Baixia sprinkled some dry herbs on the wound, tore off the cloth on his arm, slowly bandaged the wound, and tied the cloth with his mouth, "Say!"
"Chapter 1, we don't take each other's lives. Chapter 2 No matter who wins or loses, we must not harass Qian Yeye. Chapter 3, three years later, we will fight for life and death, and the living people get Qian Yeye.
Chen Lai said calmly and looked at the other party. He thought about these three and decided. It's very simple to kill Baixia, but if he annoys Bai Ruyao, it will not be worth the loss. Now there is only one purpose, that is, to protect the safety of Qian Yeye. As long as Bai Xia agrees, he can have three years without considering Qian Yeye's safety. Besides, Zheng Tiehui's mission can also be investigated through him. Besides, he will leave Beijing in less than three years.
"No!" Bai Xia shouted and stared at Chen.
Chen Lai was not surprised and listened to what he said.
"We will compete today, and we will fight for life and death today!" Bai Xia was very angry and disdained Chen La's conditions.
Chen Lai picked up his bow and arrow from the grass with his feet and put it on his shoulder. "I have something to do tomorrow. I have to live. If you don't agree, I can take Qian Yeye."
"Hight!" Baixia shouted again and stretched out his hairy hand, "I haven't found an opponent for a long time. You can't go!"
Chen Lai didn't stop, "Why don't you shoot me with an arrow?"
Bai Xia punched the small tree beside him and shouted, "Okay! Say it! How can I compare it!"
Chen came to see him take the bait, and then he stopped.
People do happy things, and the two of them reach a consensus after talking for a moment. Chen Lai gestured to him and asked him to talk about how to shoot arrows first.
Baisha was also rude and pointed to the northwest. "There is a pomegranate tree, and there is a pomegranate fruit on it. We all shoot arrows at the ground under the pomegranate tree. The water shot out can wash the pomegranate fruit down."
Chen Lai couldn't help but be stared, because it was the first time he heard of this way of archery.
Is there such an archery? He couldn't help observing the arrows of the white building. Arrows are ordinary and no different from other arrows.
"Does this guy really have this ability?"
Seeing that Bai Xia had passed by, he was skeptical and had to keep up.
By a stream, there is a red and green pomegranate circle, and the pomegranates are full and fresh, all grinning. There are flat stones under the pomegranate tree. It turns out that this is a kind of stone pomegranate, which grows in the cracks of the stone. The fruits are very strong and grow on the branches. It can only be cut off with a machete.
Chen Lai observed and thought about how to shoot down the pomegranate above, but Bai Xia's arrows had already shot down.
Squeak!
A clear spring spring burst out from an arrow hole, and the fountain generally rushed out more than ten feet high, rushing to the high pomegranate tree, crashing the branches of the pomegranate upside down, and the round and large pomegranate fell down. After a while, dozens fell and rolled on the stone like balls. Two rolled to Chen Lai's feet and touched his boots.
Chen Lai was shocked!
Since he followed his grandfather to shoot arrows at the age of three, he shot a lot of targets. He thought that his archery ability was unmatched. When he saw the scene in front of him, he realized what people were outside, and there were mountains outside the mountain!
Now he doesn't have the confidence to shoot the arrows into the stone, nor does he have the confidence to shoot the clear water below, let alone to top the pomegranate above!
After thinking about it, he felt that he was not self-confident, but impossible!
How can such a deep stone be shot in? How to shoot the water below?
He was puzzled.
Bai Xia was stunned when he saw him and gestured to him.
Chen Lai stretched out his little finger and scratched his scalp, and then stood up straight and bowed to Baixia. With the first arrow, he conceded defeat.
He also wanted to shoot an arrow, but he knew best that this attempt was futile anyway. Instead of being embarrassed, it is better to admit your shortcomings directly and generously.
At this time, Qian Yeye was watching a huge stone in the distance. Seeing the failure of Chen Lai's first arrow, he was immediately frustrated and couldn't help talking to himself.
"What should I do? Brother Lai lost to Baixia, and I will be a member of Baixia in the future!"
"Brother, come on!"
"You know, if Baixia wins, I will fall into the fire!"
Bai Xia saw Chen Lai bowing and admitting defeat and laughed, "Kid, you have the final say! You have the final say on the next two arrows!" He waved his arms and patted his legs, oh, and screamed.
Chen Lai felt a fever on his face and thought that he could not give you two chances.
"The second arrow, we are 30 steps away from the pomegranate, hit the pomegranate, and we have to get the pomegranate by hand. The third arrow, we submerged in the water to shoot pomegranates, and those who shoot down pomegranates win.
Baixia laughed again and readily agreed. A push hand to the bottom is a palm, pushing away all the rolling pomegranates on the stone surface.
Two people stand 30 steps away and stand firm. Baixia shot first. He shook his hand and shot an arrow at a big red pomegranate.
Pak, pomegranate! But the white arrow branches passed through the pomegranate. A black hole was left on the pomegranate, from which some fragrant pomegranate liquid flowed out.
The pomegranate just shook and hung steadily under the branches.
"Oh! How could this happen?" Bai Xia was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Chen Lai put on the bow and shot an arrow. A red arrow flew in the middle of a large pomegranate, but the arrow did not completely pass through, but flew forward with the pomegranate, took the pomegranate off the branch with a crisp sound, and then flew forward with the pomegranate.
Puff! The arrow shot a boulder and fell deeply, and the pomegranate hit the boulder and bounced back, popped out a long arc, and finally fell firmly into Chen Lai's hand in the stunned mouth of Baixia.
Chen Lai threw the pomegranate in his hand and smelled it again. It felt very fragrant inside.
"I admit it! I lost this arrow!" Baixia hit the palm of his left hand with his right boxing, which was very unwilling.
Is he the one who admits defeat? He shouted, "Let's test the third arrow!" Hurry up! Try the third arrow!"
Chen Lai pointed to a pool by the stream, "Let's go there and shoot arrows in it."
As soon as the words fell, Baixia had already arrived a few steps, jumped in with a plop, splashing waves more than ten feet high. As if someone wanted to grab him, as soon as he got into the water, he quickly sank down and saw a stone below. He hurriedly fell to the top and looked in the direction of the pomegranate garden.
Chen Lai walked to the pool, looked at Qian Yeye, who was hiding not far away, squeezed her eyes, gently stepped into the water, and also came to the underwater stone. The water is not deep, only about one foot, and it will end as soon as it falls.
The two people can see clearly in the water, and they can also see clearly when they look at the pomegranate garden.
Two people pull arrows and shoot arrows at the same time. Bai Xia shot a white arrow, and Chen Lai shot a red arrow. When the arrow branch rushed out of the water, the two also rushed out of the writing with a roar and fell on a lawn to observe; Chen Lai gently wiped the water droplets on his face, while Bai Xia wiped his face with two hands, wiping loudly.
On a pomegranate tree in a pomegranate circle, you can clearly see two arrows, one white and one red. The white arrow shoots on the black trunk. Next to the arrow is a red pomegranate, and the red arrow is firmly rooted in the center of a red pomegranate and is gently shaking in the wind.
The result is very obvious in front of the two people.
"Oh!" Baixia shouted, smashed the long bow in his hand to the stone beside him, grabbed the remaining dozen arrows in the quiver and broke it, and fell on the stone.
It was as if the stone around him had failed him, and he kicked the stone again. Because the stone was buried deep in the soil, he kicked a few times without kicking. He was even more annoyed. He stretched out his arms and pulled out the stone, then raised it over his head and threw it out.
Plop! The stone fell into the pool and made a loud noise. The splashed water made him look again.
"Three years later! It's still this pomegranate round! Let's live and die!" Bai Xia stared at Chen, shouted, turned around and left.
At this time, Qian Yeye outside was extremely happy and couldn't help dancing:
"Brother, you didn't disappoint me!"
"Baixia is a genius, and you are even more!"
Seeing Baixia leaving angrily, she appeared skillfully, opened her arms, and suddenly stopped Baixia. She looked very panicked. "Ah, Brother Xia, why did you leave? Ah, Brother Xiamen, why did you leave?"
It seems to be very sad, and her face is full of water. Just now, she had been squatting by the stream not far away and washing her face. The water on her face was very sufficient.
When Bai Xia saw him, his eyes were closed and his mouth was crooked. He felt very uncomfortable, as if he had no face to see her again.
Qian Yeye grabbed his arm and shouted, "Brother Xia, what the hell are you saying! Sister Ye Ye is so confident that she has a hope..." As she said, she choked.
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, not to mention people like Baixia? At first sight, he looked even more sad and hugged her and said, "Ye Ye, wait for me for another three years! Just three years! Three years later, I will definitely come to fight with him! I will definitely take you away!" With that, he stared at Chen Lai full of hatred.
Chen Lai pointed to Qian Yeye at this time and added appropriately: "We already have a gentleman agreement, and we will compare arrows three years later, and we will decide to live and die in a war!" The living will get you, the little beauty.
Qian Yeye cried when he heard this and put his arms around Bai Xia's arm, "Brother Xia! You must be a gentleman! You must come back! You must kill him with your bow and arrow! Ye Ye must be waiting for you!"
She shook her head and cried, stamped her feet and cried, grinning, emotional and pitiful, touching. Finally, she ran to a cave.
When Bai Xia saw it, he was very moved and burst into tears. Finally, he kissed Qian Yeye's hand and cried and ran away. After running far away, I could still hear his crying, crying like a bullied child.
And here, Chen Lai has already hugged the beauty and went to the stream affectionately...
