Chapter 36
The morning light shone through the crack of the door and shone on Liang Xiao’s smooth and tight skin, and he couldn’t miss it.
Liang Xiao was naked and only wore a pair of Han Dynasty shorts—the legendary bull trousers, but there were no underwear, and the linen directly rubbed against the skin, which felt hard. Especially in the early morning when the yang energy was sufficient, it felt not very comfortable.
Every day, the rooster crows and practices the bow in the dark for an hour has become Liang Xiao’s daily homework. Huan Jun said that although Liang Xiao’s foundation has just begun and has not yet been solid, it still takes some time to practice to avoid being unfamiliar. Especially after holding the bow, the movements may be distorted due to different feelings, and it is necessary to pay attention to it at all times.
The reason why he practices with a particularly soft bamboo bow is to prevent the unnaturally clumsy force from being too hard. So far, Liang Xiao has not really entered the stage of archery practice, but is just practicing the movements. It is necessary to practice the correct movements to be considered as successful. At that time, he no longer needs to pay attention to whether his movements meet the standards, and do whatever he wants without breaking the rules.
This is Huan Jun’s original words. From some golden sentences that Huan Jun casually spoke, Liang Xiao can be sure that he is definitely not as simple as an ordinary warrior.
Liang Xiao opened the door, picked up the broom, and started cleaning the courtyard. He carefully cleaned the front and back yards, and sprinkled water with water. Then he came to the west room with toiletries, bowed and knocked on the door.
"Master, have you gotten up?"
"Come in." Huan Jun's voice came from the house.
Liang Xiao pushed open the door and saw Huan Jun sitting upright on the bed, facing Dongfang. As soon as the door opened, the golden sunlight shone on his face. Liang Xiao was surprised: "Master has gotten up long ago?"
"I'm old and can't sleep, so I just sat for a while."
Liang Xiao glanced at Huan Jun's temples, and it was already half white. Until now, he still didn't know how old Huan Jun was. Judging from his flesh and blood, he looked like he was in his early forties, and from his face, he looked like he was nearly sixty years old.
"Adjust your breathing when you open the bow, but don't deliberately. Whether it is a thirty kilogram bamboo bow or a three-stone strong bow, you must move at will, and use your intentions and no force to be considered a complete success."
Liang Xiao nodded, and then looked at Huan Jun in shock. He lived in the east room in the backyard, and Huan Jun lived in the west room in the front yard. There were two walls between the two rooms. About ten steps away, could Huan Jun actually hear his breathing?
Huan Jun laughed: "The ears of the sound are better than those of the eyes."
Liang Xiao was excited: "Then...when will I have such ear power?"
"When the heat flow of your arm moves against the trend along the outside of your arm and reaches the ear, your ear strength will improve. The longer you practice, the better your ear strength."
"What is the best level?"
"The person with the best ear strength is that mosquitoes and flies rise and fall within a hundred steps, and they know everything. However, just like an archer who passes through the sun for a hundred steps, such ear strength not only requires years of hard practice, but also requires talent, which not everyone can practice. When I was in my best health, I could only hear fifty or sixty steps."
Liang Xiao stuck out his tongue. Even fifty-six steps is scary enough, it is the sound of mosquitoes and flies shaking their wings. If it were the sound of footsteps of a person, wouldn’t there be no escape within a hundred steps? No wonder it is called a sniper who shot when he heard the sound and fell down accordingly. This is an ancient sniper.
"How should I practice my eyesight?"
"I don't know much about my eyesight."
The masters talked for a while, and Liang Xiao served Huan Jun to wash, ate breakfast with him, listened to him telling stories for a while, and then practiced in the yard. Huan Jun half-closed the door and sat in the west room, not knowing what he was doing. After Mama Liang finished her breakfast, she went to the west room in the backyard to start her day's work.
The three of them did their own things, without interfering with each other, and the courtyard was quiet and peaceful until it was broken by a half-baby wearing a bun.
"A Xiao, A Xiao, you are here again for a distinguished guest."
Liang Xiao put down the bamboo bow and glanced at the West Room. The half-closed door of the West Room opened at some point. Liang Xiao laughed secretly and breathed a sigh of relief. Huan Jun's ears were several times stronger than him. He was afraid that as soon as the guest entered the Qingyunli's inner door, he heard it and closed the door.
Close the door means disappearance. If you don’t see it, you will refuse. It seems that Huanjun is just as he hopes, and he has no interest in the Huainan Prince’s Mansion.
However, Liang Xiao could not stay in the door. He went to the backyard to inform me first. He was not yet an adult and could not receive guests. Although I was a woman, in the Han Dynasty, women could still be the head of the family and could come forward to receive guests like a male host.
More importantly, to some extent, I am better at doing these things than him.
When I was sitting in the hall, the carriages and horses outside the door also stopped, and the beard in a brocade dressed in a loud clothes knocked on the door.
The Liang family is not a big family, there is no difference between a middle door or a small door. There is only two in front and back, and the guests stand outside the door, and the people in the hall have already seen it. Neighbors are entering the door directly, and knocking on the door is also etiquette.
Liang Xiao quickly met him and bowed with a smile. "Why are you doing well, Mr. Hu? Why do you look a little darker?"
Hu was raised and showed his two big nostrils. "With Liu Jun traveling with friends, the wind and sun are exposed, how can you not be dark? It's like you hide at home every day, and I don't know if you are doing some fine work."
Liang Xiao smiled slightly. There was something in the words of the Hu Lai, which not only showed off his complacentness to follow Liu Ling, but also despised Liang Xiao for showing weakness when he stayed in the door. Hu Lai suffered a loss at the Liang family last time, but later traveled with Liu Ling, but he did not give up. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of not being in Guangling to instruct the young man in the village to invite Liang Xiao to attend the snatching ceremony and find an opportunity to make Liang Xiao look ugly, but they were rejected by Liang Xiao.
Under normal circumstances, this situation is of course a manifestation of Liang Xiao's inner timidity, but under the spread of those who are interested, Liang Xiao's words "Those who want to shoot swans are not in the wild pheasant" have already been known in Guangling City, and Liang Xiao's rejection has a somewhat noble and disdainful meaning. In addition, Liang Xiao rejected the invitation of the nobles of Huainan Kingdom, the people of Jiangdu thought that Liang Xiao had backbone in this move, and did not lose the face of Jiangdu Kingdom, and opposed Liang Xiao and praised it very much.
Knowing that he had made mistakes, Liang Xiao became more famous and became even more depressed, so he choked Liang Xiao as soon as he met.
Liang Xiao just smiled, smiling gently, tolerantly, and disdainfully.
The happier he smiled, the more depressed Hu Lai became. Feng Ji saw him in the distance and had to cough. Hu Lai sighed, pressed the anger in his heart and said, "Jun Liu from Huainan came to visit Mr. Huan, please inform me."
"Oh——" Liang Xiao nodded exaggeratedly, closed the door, and turned around and entered.
This is a habit that only wealthy families have. Ordinary people do not close the door normally, and it is even more impossible to close the door at this time. However, Liang Xiao closed it, but it is not rude at all. Huan Jun has not agreed to see you yet, so of course he cannot open the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Hu Lai, who was standing in the door with one foot, was startled and jumped back like a rabbit with his tail stepped on, almost hitting Liu Ling's carriage. Feng Ji reached out to hold Hu Lai at the right time, and patted him gently, indicating that Hu Lai would not be fooled by Liang Xiao, and he was confused.
He breathed heavily and gritted his teeth.
