Chapter 684 Xiaoyu participates in the competition?
Yang Yihe's face turned pale. She knew Xiaoyu liked snakes and had raised snakes before, but snakes were too long and were scary even if they were not poisonous.
He Yuxiang closed his eyes in despair.
Seeing her brother was scared, Xiaoyu asked Xiaohei to come back and touched it: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I will take you on an adventure later."
He Yuxiang exhaled lightly: "Let's go."
The six people walked out, and everyone wanted to go down the mountain and find a place by the river to grill something to eat.
Xiaoyu took out a slingshot and watched the turtledoves occasionally flying across the sky.
Seeing Xiaoyu holding a slingshot, the dwarf tiger also stepped forward to join in the fun: "Let me try."
Xiaoyu gave him the slingshot.
The dwarf tiger narrowed his eyes and stared at the turtledove, and then the stone hit the tree.
He was a little discouraged.
Wang Wenming seemed eager to try. He took the slingshot from the dwarf's hand, his dark face full of seriousness, and pulled the slingshot hard.
Snap——
Stones flew out.
The stone fell hastily when it was still a long way from the target.
Maomao: "Oh, what a shame!"
He tried it too.
After trying it, he hid directly behind He Yuxiang, with his forehead resting directly on He Yuxiang's back.
Ahhhhhh——
So embarrassing!
Why don’t the stones fly away!
This slingshot doesn't give him any face at all!!
Xiaoyu looked down at the slingshot. She thought that when her uncle made it for her, the slingshot would never miss a shot. How come it became like this in their hands?
Xiaoyu scratched her face.
I really don't understand.
She took out a nearly round brown stone from her pocket and put it directly into her leather bag. She raised her arm steadily and tightened the rubber band slowly and steadily.
Everyone looked at her.
When Xiaoyu is serious, she always tends to be calm which is inconsistent with her age. When the rubber band is stretched to the extreme, it makes a subtle but clear "嘤" sound. Her eyes become extremely focused at this moment, and it seems that only the gray dot remains in her dark pupils.
Time seemed to stand still.
In an instant—
Whoosh——
The sound of stones breaking through the air was heard, short and sharp, and everyone's eyes followed the almost invisible trajectory.
Snap——
An extremely slight sound.
The turtledove from the tree fell into the grass.
The silence lasted only a moment, and then a collective cheer broke out, "Hit! Really hit!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiaoyu, with shock and admiration in their eyes.
Maomao was so excited that he jumped to Xiaoyu and screamed, shaking her shoulders in disbelief. "You hit it from such a distance! Xiaoyu, you're amazing! A genius! I officially crown you the Slingshot King!!"
Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, her round face was white with a hint of pink, like a peach, but she calmly took out another stone from her pocket. The moment the stone was thrown out, the second turtledove fell to the ground.
“This is so cool.”
The dwarf opened his mouth wide. He also wanted to show off like this and make others scream without any hesitation. It must feel great.
He Yuxiang was proud of it, so he went to pick up the turtledove for his sister.
Xiaoyu said modestly: "It's okay."
A group of people surrounded her and praised her, which made her feel embarrassed.
Maomao stood beside Xiaoyu, searching around for the bird, and pointed it out to Xiaoyu as soon as he saw one.
Xiaoyu shot it down cleanly and neatly.
A new wave of screams from Maomao is coming.
On the way down the mountain, we had a great harvest, four turtledoves, enough for six people to eat.
"Comrades, is this the turtledove you shot down?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in army green clothes came over. He had a scar on his forehead. Although his clothes were the most popular army green clothes at the moment, there were patches from the collar to the trouser legs.
Xiaoyu took a turtledove and held it in front of him: "Uncle, do you want to eat it? This one is for you. There are six of us, which is just enough for three."
Jing Weibo smiled brightly, "No, I can make it myself if I want to eat it. Can I ask how you guys shot the turtledove down?"
Everyone looked at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu also openly admitted: "I shot it down with a slingshot."
Jing Weibo became more and more interested and pointed to the carambola tree across the river. "Do you see the fruiting carambola tree? I planted it. See if you can pick one down."
Xiaoyu took back the action of sending the turtledove and shook her head to refuse: "I don't want to."
Jing Wei Bo was stunned. He had observed this group of children during this period, especially Xiaoyu who worked most efficiently. He felt that this child had a good temper. Just now, when he asked a question, this child gave him the turtledove. She was indeed a kind child. He didn't expect her to refuse.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm currently the captain of the militia in Wangjia Village and also an archery coach in the city. If you have a talent for archery, I can let you train and then participate in competitions."
He Yuxiang immediately stepped forward to ask: "What competition?"
Jing Weibo: "Competitions at the city level, provincial level, national level, and even around the world. Do you know the Olympics? Archery can help you participate in the Olympics."
He Yuxiang turned his head and asked Xiaoyu: "Do you like archery?"
“I haven’t tried it…”
She really likes the slingshot now because she shot down four turtledoves!!!
Her friends adore her so much.
She is a little proud~
Jing Wei Bo said, "It's okay. Let me see your talent. If it's suitable, we can go to the city for a formal assessment."
Xiaoyu pursed her lips: "But I can't train."
Jing Wei Bo asked: "Why?"
Xiaoyu replied, "Because next I have to go to the countryside to perform with our machinery factory art troupe."
The busy farming season is over.
The art troupe has to be dispatched.
Jing Wei Bo knew she was from the city and didn't know how busy she was as a child, but he still insisted, "Can I take a look? Besides, archery training doesn't take a long time."
Yang Yihe frowned slightly: "If you want Xiaoyu to participate in the competition, I hope you can honestly tell her whether the training is tiring and how long it will take."
Jing Wei Bo looked at Yang Yihe in surprise.
Yang Yihe looked back calmly.
Xiaoyu looked up at Jing Wei Bo.
Jing Wei Bo said uncomfortably, "If we want to achieve certain things and win glory for our country, we definitely need to work hard. After all, the Olympics is a sporting event that the whole world watches. If we want to be recognized by people from other countries, we have to exercise a lot, and injuries are possible. But we're not at that level yet. It's great to be able to win glory for the city."
Xiaoyu thought about it and took out a stone from his pocket.
He Yuxiang lowered his head and rummaged through her pockets with his hands. They were a mess with all sorts of things in them. She liked to put everything in her pockets. No wonder her aunt always liked to make big pockets for her.
Xiaoyu put the stone in the leather bag, turned sideways, raised his arm, and pulled the rubber band.
Jing Wei Bo stared at her, feeling the sharpness of her eyes and her extraordinary concentration. When she wanted to achieve her goal, her whole body was like a bow slowly being drawn.
