Chapter 34 Systematic learning of archery
Gu Chan closed her eyes tightly, looking a little nervous, "Hurry up, this is my first time, you have to be gentle."
"Hahaha……"
Qin Xiang came back to her senses and couldn't help it anymore, holding her stomach and laughing.
She didn't realize it until then. After a long time, it was Gu Chan who misunderstood her.
Gu Chan opened her eyes and looked at Qin Xiang, who was laughing out of breath, with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Mrs. Boss, is it so funny? I admit that I have no experience in this area, but you won't be so presumptuous. Are you laughing at me?"
"You little devil, you're not old, but you have a lot of ideas. When did I say I wanted to kiss you and hug you?" Qin Xiang stopped smiling and asked happily.
"..." Gu Chan.
Qin Xiang winked and teased, "Why, do you think I'm attracted to you and want to adopt you as a child adoptive husband?"
"Isn't this what many widows in Tiancang Kingdom are doing now? It's normal!" Gu Chan spread her hands and looked harmless.
"You are overthinking. My man is still alive in the military camp! He is not dead. Why should I take a child as a foster husband?" Qin Xiang explained speechlessly.
Gu Chan was immediately embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
At this moment, she was scolding Ma Zheng a lot because she blamed him for talking nonsense. Otherwise, she would not have thought about it at all.
Qin Xiang chuckled, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let me tell you the truth. I actually saw that you can draw a sixty-stone heavy bow at a young age, so I want to find out what you are." people."
"I'm considered an entry-level magician." Gu Chan suppressed her embarrassment and replied.
Qin Xiang was immediately relieved, and the doubts in his heart were cleared.
She said that at Gu Chan's young age, it was impossible for her to draw the sixty-stone heavy bow with just strength. Looking at it now, when she drew the heavy bow before, she must have used the ability of a magician, otherwise she would never be able to draw it easily. make it happen.
At this time, she also looked at Gu Changao more than once, and praised without hesitation, "In Tiancang Kingdom, all men can practice martial arts, but not every man has the talent to become a martial artist. Some men practice for a lifetime. You can't become a magician, but you can practice it at a young age, which is indeed an excellent talent. "
"The boss lady gave me the award, maybe I'm just lucky." Gu Chan became modest.
"Then let me ask you, which family are you from?" Qin Xiang asked.
Gu Chan didn't think much about it, "I am the grandson of old man Zhang from Jiuyang Village."
"Tell the truth." Qin Xiang's eyes were sharp.
How could an old man named Zhang from a poor mountain village have such an outstanding grandson?
She could tell at a glance that Gu Chan was lying, or she was hiding it intentionally.
Gu Chan couldn't help but admire Qin Xiang's venomous eyes. In this case, it was impossible for her to hide it, but she didn't have the memory of the original owner, so she could only make it up, "Hey! I can't hide it from the boss lady with your wise eyes." , let me tell the truth, I actually come from a pretty good family, but my family was brutally murdered by my enemies, and I was forced to live in hiding in the countryside! "
"Then which family in Tiancang Kingdom is your family?"
"My surname is Gu, I should be from the Gu family of Tiancang Kingdom!"
"Gu family? I've never heard of this family. It shouldn't be a big family." Qin Xiang frowned as she had never heard of the Gu family.
Gu Chan smiled secretly and finally felt relieved.
What she fears most is that if Qin Xiang knows something about the Gu family, it will be detrimental to her. Now that Qin Xiang doesn't know anything about her family, she can certainly relax. Without saying more about her life experience, Gu Chan quickly changed the subject, "Boss Boss, you have to help me keep the secret! Otherwise, I'm afraid that my enemies will come looking for me, I will be killed, and our Gu family will become extinct. I still hope To pass on the family lineage and continue the family tradition!”
"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my words. I promise not to publicize this matter." Qin Xiang reached out and patted her chest to promise.
"Then can you teach me archery now?" Gu Chan asked.
Qin Xiang said wisely, "In this case, you can just give me five taels of silver as tuition. In this way, I will not teach you in vain, and I can also provide you with lunch."
"Okay, it's settled then." Gu Chan readily agreed and immediately handed over five taels of silver.
Qin Xiang took the silver and put it away, and then began to instruct Gu Chan in archery.
"Archery pays attention to seven points, which are: fighting posture, holding the bow, nocking the arrow, positioning, aiming, releasing the arrow, and closing the posture. Let me tell you about the first point of stance."
"Ah? So there's so much about archery?" Gu Chan was surprised.
Yesterday in the forest, Zhao Erniu was just pretending to be cool, and how could he explain it to her in such detail? Moreover, at that time, she could shoot a bow and arrow with brute strength, so she felt that archery was not difficult, as long as she had hands.
But now that she was studying systematically, she realized that there was such profound knowledge hidden behind this seemingly simple archery.
Qin Xiang said solemnly, "If you want to learn archery, you must learn all aspects of it. Only when you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy can you be able to hit the target with perfect accuracy."
"No, no, no, I just want to learn archery and hunt."
"Go, you are worthless. How can you just use archery for hunting? A man must have the heart to serve the country with loyalty. Learning archery is of course a way to kill enemies on the battlefield and protect the country." Qin Xiang glared at Gu. Chan Yitong scolded.
Gu Chan couldn't laugh or cry.
A manly man?
She is just a little girl! How could he have such great ability and ambition?
Now that she can learn archery well and eat the meat of a mysterious beast, she is already satisfied.
Qin Xiang didn't care about her and immediately taught her how to stand. While teaching, he said, "There are three basic postures in archery, including parallel, open and closed. The most common parallel posture requires the body to be straight and sideways. At the target, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with the toes connected perpendicular to the target, and the center between your feet.”
"Oh!" Gu Chan kept it in mind and began to position according to her instructions.
Qin Xiang continued, "The second point is to hold the bow firmly but relaxedly. There are two methods, the high position method and the low position method. The high position method is to push the bow holding part with the tiger's mouth, the hand and forearm form a straight line, and the fingers naturally droop; The low position rule is to contact the handle from the palm of the hand to the fish. "
Gu Chan followed this instruction and began training to hold a bow.
Qin Xiang saw that Gu Chan was serious about learning, and she was also serious about teaching, "When setting an arrow, the index finger should slightly clamp the arrow, and the thumb should match the index finger accordingly to prevent the arrow from falling, but don't clamp too hard. When the position is reached, It is divided into cheek positioning and chin positioning. Pull the string to the side of the lip corner or the midline of the chin.”
"Madam boss, if you really want to practice archery well, how long does it usually take to practice?" Gu Chan nocked an arrow, pulled the arrow to her chin and asked.
Qin Xiang smiled lightly, "It's hard to say. It depends on individual talent. Some people are smart and can improve within a few months, but some people are stupid and may not be able to hit the target in three to five years. And judging from your talent, I I believe you can do it quickly.”
When Gu Chan heard Qin Xiang's words, her eyes immediately became firm.
