Chapter 227 Horseback Archery!
Qin Huai wanted to check on Gu Yunlan's condition, but the stench was so strong that he couldn't move.
"Gu Yunlan, are you alright?" Qin Huai asked worriedly, covering his mouth and nose with his hand.
"Yue~yue~yue~" Surrounded by the strong stench, Gu Yunlan couldn't stop gagging. He really wanted to answer his wife, but he was too weak to do so.
[Hahahaha.]
[Now even the best actor knows the power of canned herring, right?]
[Those three people next to me are supposed to move away in one second! (laughing and crying at the same time)]
[Does Actor Gu still remember what you said before? Go ahead and eat it, will you? (Evil laugh)]
[As the saying goes, you shouldn't speak too soon; look, things have already come to pass.]
………………
"My God, what kind of canned fish is this? It stinks, ugh~" Yunxi could still feel the pungent smell lingering on the tip of his nose.
"Who says otherwise? This is far too lethal." Xia Yu took a sip of the mineral water Hou Yunqi offered him, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit.
"Yue~" Jiang Xiubai really gagged so much that tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Wang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. He smelled the aroma in front of him and thankfully, the food on his side smelled delicious.
Lunch was ready quickly, and Xu Wang divided it into eight portions, one large bowl for each person.
The instant noodles cooked in the iron bowl are topped with pan-fried beef and luncheon meat, and there are two green vegetables as a garnish next to the beef.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow as they looked at the delicious-looking instant noodles in front of them.
"Wow!!!"
Xia Yu's stomach growled from the strong aroma, and he patted his stomach sheepishly.
Xu Wang told them to make themselves at home, and then bent down to serve him and Pei Yanchuan each a bowl.
Pei Yanchuan silently placed the large slice of beef in Xu Wang's bowl into Xu Wang's bowl.
Xu Wang was happily eating beef when suddenly another piece of beef appeared in front of him. He abruptly looked up at the person in front of him.
When Pei Yanchuan saw Xu Wang looking at him, he also looked at him with a gentle expression.
"Don't just think about me, you should eat too." Xu Wang said, and was about to hand the beef in the bowl back to him.
Pei Yanchuan dodged the question for a moment and then gently shook his head: "I'm not very hungry yet."
Xu Wang sighed upon hearing this. What do you mean you're not very hungry? That's just an excuse. You just want to save the best for me.
Xu Wang's heart was already overflowing with joy. How could Pei Yanchuan be so good? So good that it broke her heart.
Xu Wang thought for a while. He remembered that Pei Yanchuan liked to eat shrimp, so if he had another chance to enter the mobile store, he would definitely take out more shrimp and try to take all the shrimp in the mobile store.
The director, who was sprinkling cumin on roasted lamb skewers in a tent not far away, suddenly turned his head and sneezed violently. The director sat back down and rubbed his nose. Oh no, it seems someone is eyeing him again.
Qin Huai considered that Gu Yunlan had a half-open can of herring, so he told the others, picked up two lunches, and turned to eat with Gu Yunlan.
Perhaps it was the smell of the fermented herring that really bothered Gu Yunlan; she looked rather listless.
He handed the can of herring, which had not yet been fully opened, to the production crew for disposal.
When the staff member received the can of herring, he very seriously stuffed his nose with tissue paper, but even so, he could still smell the strong odor.
[President Pei really spoils me!]
[Seeing them still so sweet makes me feel relieved. (Auntie smile)]
[Actor Gu is already feeling emo from this canned food.]
[The actor was successfully escorted away from the table. (Facepalm)]
[Don't be sad, Mr. Gu, your sister-in-law still loves you.]
………………
After lunch, it was time for a break, and the live stream was paused.
At 2 p.m., the director came out of the tent and stretched.
He walked to the guests' tents with a megaphone, and the staff quietly woke up the guests one by one.
Xu Wang and the others had all rested, and after hearing the noise, they slowly walked out of the tent.
The live stream was also restarted.
"All the teachers should have rested well by now. We're about to begin this afternoon's competition. Before announcing the results, please look to your right." The director, holding a megaphone in one hand, smiled and waved to the right with the other.
Xu Wang and the others subconsciously looked in the direction the director was pointing, and saw that several archery targets had been erected on the open ground not far away.
Before everyone could figure it out, the sound of horses stamping their feet on the ground suddenly came from further away.
"Giddy up!" A man's rough voice came from afar.
Xu Wang looked into the distance, squinted, and saw several people riding horses rapidly toward the target.
Just as the group passed the target, they drew arrows from their quivers and nocked them on their bows. With a whoosh, all their arrows hit the target, and one of them even hit the bullseye.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Xia Yu couldn't help but applaud when she saw this exciting scene.
Yunxi nodded in agreement, saying that riding a horse and shooting arrows was so cool.
Gu Yunlan couldn't wait to mount a horse and race against them. He had previously studied under a professional teacher while filming an ancient general drama, and he had learned quite well, so he was no stranger to these things.
Xu Wang was also watching with great interest. He could ride a horse, but he had never tried shooting arrows on horseback before, and he found it quite interesting.
Pei Yanchuan stood beside Xu Wang with his usual calm expression; horseback riding was a compulsory course for him when he was a child.
The director nodded in satisfaction at the amazed expressions on everyone's faces. He then turned to look at the local archery instructors who had stopped and dismounted.
"Thank you all for the wonderful performance. I believe that after watching this performance, many of you teachers would like to try it out. Coincidentally, our competition this afternoon is an archery competition. Considering that many teachers cannot ride horses, we will only have an archery competition, not a mounted archery competition, to reduce the difficulty a bit." The director's voice came steadily from the loudspeaker.
Xia Yu raised her hand upon hearing this: "But director, what should we do if we don't know how to shoot arrows?"
The director seemed to have been waiting for Xia Yu to ask this question. He smiled and waved his hand, "Teachers, please rest assured. Considering that this may be your first time shooting arrows, we have invited four particularly skilled local archery instructors to teach you. You will have two hours of practice time. After two hours, the competition will officially begin. After the competition, the time allocated to enter the mobile store will still be based on the competition rankings."
Wow! Horseback archery, that's so cool!
[I think Gu Yingdi's group might get first place this time. I remember he shared his daily life of learning horseback riding and archery on his account before.]
[That's right, that's right. I heard that when Gu Yingdi was filming "The Young General," he specifically sought out professionals to learn from.]
[Well, I feel like President Pei isn't bad either. With a family background like President Pei's, he must have had equestrian lessons.]
[Yes, I've heard of that. Mr. Pei even won an award in equestrian competitions when he was a child.]
[Oh my god, isn't this a battle of gods? Yunxi Jiang Xiubai, as a fan of your pairing, all I can say is good luck!]
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!]
………………
Upon hearing the director's words, Jiang Xiubai suddenly stood up straight. To be honest, although his academic performance wasn't top-notch, he had loved horseback riding since childhood. He might have missed any other class when he was young, but he never missed horseback riding class. He had also learned archery. It could be said that this segment was specially designed for him by the director. It was fate.
Do you want to win?
Yunxi was doing warm-up exercises when a smug voice suddenly came from beside him.
Yunxi turned her head in a daze, only to see Jiang Xiubai standing with his arms crossed, back straight, and chin raised proudly.
"Isn't that obvious? Of course I want to, but it's not something I can win just by wanting to." Yunxi spread his hands helplessly. He wanted to win too, but he had to have the ability.
Just as Yunxi finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Jiang Xiubai's question meant that he was confident about the competition.
Yunxi looked up in surprise: "You can shoot arrows?"
"Hmm." Jiang Xiubai's lips curled up wildly after seeing Yunxi react.
"Really? You're not kidding me." Yunxi was overjoyed.
"Not only archery, but I'm also a skilled horse rider. Leave today's competition to me." Jiang Xiubai's eyes flashed with a look of certainty.
Xu Wang clasped his hands together, looking eager to try. Seeing this, Pei Yanchuan leaned down and whispered in Xu Wang's ear, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Xu Wang felt the heat on his ear and subconsciously shrank his neck. He nodded slightly.
Seeing the group's confident demeanor, the director quietly dropped another bombshell: "Teachers, the participants for this competition will be drawn by lot. Two teachers from each group will draw lots, and whoever is drawn will represent their group in the competition. So please, teachers, don't let your guard down during the learning process."
The moment the director said this, the room fell silent.
"Director, you are still too, too outstanding." Xu Wang was speechless.
