After seeing off the two men who were unwilling to join the guard, he walked towards the racecourse humming a little tune.
As soon as he walked aside, he saw a dozen women forming a circle at the entrance of the village.
To his surprise, the man in the middle was swinging an ax to chop dry firewood. What was so interesting about this?
Zhengtou walked over curiously, and from time to time the woman's comments of surprise and joy could be heard in his ears.
There were also some shameful topics mixed in. These old ladies must be crazy about men, they muttered angrily.
He stood condescendingly behind the women, but no woman noticed his arrival. Even his mother-in-law was staring at the man chopping firewood attentively, with brilliant eyes, and she felt like her head was on her head when she weighed her head.
There's a little more stuff.
He looked back at the man chopping firewood and the pile of dry firewood next to him.
It has to be said that the tendons on his body and his resolute and mature face are covered with hot sweat slowly sliding down the edges of the muscles. A large area on the ground has been soaked with sweat. I don’t know when he started here.
The one who chops wood.
"Brother Xu Huang, why are you here helping to chop wood?" Zhitou asked inappropriately.
Hearing the sound of weighing one's head, the women in the village hurriedly ran away, and his mother-in-law ran as fast as she could, with a guilty look on her face.
Xu Huang looked up at Chengtou and said with a smile: "It's brother Chengtou, haha, I'm practicing."
Zhengtou was stunned, and glanced at the ax in Xu Huang's hand. It was a long ax given to the village by Wei Cheng for chopping wood (brained as a fire ax). Later, Wei Cheng brought many saw blades, and this ax became useless.
Tools for chopping firewood.
Just as he was talking, Aunt Manhua came over with a few women who were helping in the canteen, pushing a wheelbarrow. Aunt Manhua's strong body stood there, looked at the piles of firewood, and said with her hands on her hips: "
Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xu. It has only been an hour. You are so powerful, much better than the men in our village."
Xu Huang chuckled.
I felt offended when I weighed my head.
Aunt Manhua and the women piled dry firewood on the wheelbarrow, turned back to Xu Huang and said: "When we get the food from the kitchen later, come to my place and I will add some meat and vegetables for you."
Xu Huang quickly said he didn't dare, splitting firewood was just for practicing martial arts, and it just killed two birds with one stone.
Aunt Manhua didn't take it seriously, pointed at her head and said: "You are not practicing Kung Fu at all. You have helped us a lot. You are better than them. You know how to eat every day, and you don't carry water or chop wood."
, he’s almost an old man.”
Weighing the head: "..." I felt offended again.
Xu Huang smiled and exchanged greetings with Aunt Manhua, put on his clothes, and reluctantly returned the long ax to Aunt Manhua, and said: "Teach me how to chop firewood from now on."
Aunt Manhua thought he was warm-hearted, and she had already made up her mind that her hands would not shake when she met Xu Huang when sharing dishes in the future.
Zheng Tou couldn't stand it anymore. If he hadn't witnessed Xu Huang's benevolent act in rescuing Le Jin yesterday, he would have doubted whether Xu Huang came to their village on purpose to steal his wife.
"Okay, okay, what time is it? Hurry and gather at the racecourse. We'll have some food soon. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Zheng Tou said angrily and ran toward the racecourse with some annoyance. Seeing this, Xu Huang behind him hugged Aunt Manhua and others and hurriedly followed him. He didn't dare to join the training on the first day.
late.
Aunt Manhua watched happily from behind, and at the same time said to the woman next to her: "He is a good man, but he is a bit older. I don't know if he has a wife. I will find a chance to ask later."
···
Racecourse.
Xu Chu was not here. He was meeting Wei Cheng in the shabby room. He was going to take the Jiaolong Gang to get the gold today and asked Wei Cheng if he had any other instructions. Only Xu Ding and Xie Yu were in front of them.
Xie Yu held the Yunying Fire Spear in his hand and stood there with a heroic appearance, attracting the attention of Xu Huang and the others.
Zhengtou hugged his chest and said: "Didn't you come here for the seventy-two heavy weapons of Disha? Did you see them? Those are the heavy weapons of Disha. The anti-stab uniforms we are wearing are really powerful. If we use them for real, thank you."
The instructor can pierce it with one shot."
"Thank you, coach?" Huang Xu looked at Xie Yu, feeling incredible that this short girl was their coach.
Xu Huang didn't show much. He was good at using axes. Compared with the spear in Xie Yu's hand, the ax used to chop wood just now was more attractive to him.
In front of the crowd, Xu Ding said loudly: "Yesterday's competition is halfway through, and it will continue today. However, because the master has temporarily issued a task, ten people from the first team and the second team will be selected to carry out the task."
Faced with the unexpected task, everyone looked eager to give it a try.
But Xu Ding already had a candidate in mind. He looked at Xu Huang and the four of them and said, "You are the new ones. If you want to integrate here quickly, you have to show everyone your true abilities. You can choose anyone here."
, pick one out and give it a try, so that everyone can open their eyes and get to know you well."
Xu Huang and others looked at each other.
At this time, the Lu Renjia took the lead and said: "I want to challenge Coach Xie, hoping to see the magic weapon."
"Oh?" Xie Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at him with interest.
Xu Ding turned around and asked, "Is that okay?"
Xie Yu nodded and said: "No problem, let them open their eyes, haha." She was also eager to give it a try.
The two people walked out and the crowd automatically parted ways.
Xie Yu said: "The name of the gun is Yunying Liehuo. The length of the gun is seven feet and six inches. The head of the gun is one foot and three inches. Its blade is three inches. It is made of fine steel. It is one of the most important weapons of the earth. Please enlighten me."
Lu Renjia pulled out the Eight-sided Han Sword he was assigned and said: "I am good at using the three-talented Plum Blossom Sword Technique. The path of the sword is as windy as snow, and the edge of the sword kills people invisible. Girl, be careful."
"Come on!" Xie Yu's expression tightened and he was extremely alert.
Lu Renjia was worthy of being a knight of the green forest. He was very experienced in fighting enemies. He took the first step to kill Xie Yu's face instead of the vital parts of his body. He just wanted to see the power of the earth's evil force, not take Xie Yu's life. At this time, he softened his edge a little.
.
But Xie Yu didn't care so much, and stabbed directly at his shoulder with the spear in his hand. As the saying goes, one inch long, one inch strong, the spear arrived in front of Lu Renjia one step before the Han sword, so he had to turn back his sword to defend.
镪,镪,镪……
The two of them exchanged more than ten moves, and Lu Renjia gradually fell into a disadvantage. Xie Yu's marksmanship went from being casual at the beginning to pressing harder and harder, leaving Lu Renjia unable to fight back.
Next to them, Xu Huang and Le Jin said: "Instructor Xie's marksmanship is very good. It is obviously taught by famous experts through words and deeds. This marksmanship is not only suitable for land warfare, but it can also charge into battle even when mounted. If it were not for Instructor Xie's weaker strength, Brother Lu Ren
It has already been defeated.”
As if to prove what Xu Huang said, Lu Renjia on the field suddenly staggered two steps and collapsed to the ground.
Xie Yu's spear came forward, and under everyone's astonished gaze, it passed through Lu Renjia's left chest and armpit, and was pinned to the ground.
"I lost." Lu Renjia looked defeated.
Xie Yu looked at him indifferently and reprimanded: "You lost because you underestimated the enemy. Don't think that I am a woman just because you want me. Not to mention that the spear in my hand is a magic weapon. Even my marksmanship is inferior to
Your swordsmanship is much better."
Lu Renjia was said to have no temper at all. He still felt a little uncomfortable losing to Xie Yu. The most important thing was that he did not lose to Xie Yu's Yunying Fiery Spear, but to Xie Yu's marksmanship.
Gu Xuan
"Okay, next one." Xu Ding looked at Xu Huang and the others.
Xu Huang wanted to stand up, but Huang Xu beside him couldn't wait to walk out.
He took off his bow and arrow from his back and said with a smile: "Let me show you my archery skills. I'm not good at melee combat, but my archery skills are good."
Huang Xu pointed to an archery target in the distance, about fifty steps away, and said, "I will perform a three-star continuation for everyone."
After saying that, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to rest.
Just when everyone was confused, he let out a breath of turbid air, and saw him quickly bending the bow and setting an arrow, whizz whew... the movements were all in one go, and the three arrows were almost connected from end to end, and they shot toward the target's center.
By the time everyone reacted, there were already three slightly trembling arrows on the target. The three arrows were close together and landed accurately on the red dot in the center of the target.
"Wow!" Everyone in Haojia Village exclaimed.
Xu Ding couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at Huang Xu with a hint of meaningful doubt in his eyes.
After seeing Huang Xu's wonderful performance, Le Jin suddenly felt like Alexander.
Seeing this, Xu Huang patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are still injured, why don't you forget it today and I'll do it first."
Le Jin shook his head and said, "No, when you are really fighting against someone, they don't care whether you are injured or not."
Xu Huang frowned slightly, but Le Jin had already stepped forward, cupped his fists and said to Xu Ding: "I want to test my strength immediately."
Xu Ding was surprised and looked at the short Le Jin. It has to be said that compared with everyone present, Le Jin is on the smaller side. He is only a little taller than Xie Yu.
Chasing power on horseback not only requires riding skills, but tall, strong people with a stable center of gravity often have an advantage. Small people generally don't have much advantage. As long as the opponent knows a little bit about riding skills, you can easily push him off the horse.
.
The so-called horse racing is actually very simple, that is, two people are riding on horseback at the same time, and then there is a long pole between them. Both parties can't let go of the long pole. The one who lets go will directly lose.
The knight has to use various methods to force the opponent off the horse without letting go of the long pole. Whether it is pulling or pulling hard, as long as he does not dismount and does not let go of the pole, other methods can be used. This is a very practical competition.
, the most important test on the battlefield is a person's stability and endurance on horseback.
"Well, let me try your skills." Xu Ding knew that the people in Haojiacun had just learned riding skills, so asking them to mount horses would definitely not be able to accurately test Le Jin's skills. Although he was also average, his skills were not good enough.
There are still some.
There is a horse farm next to it, and each of them chose a horse.
The weighing head sent a wooden house beam over three meters long, about the width of a bowl, because there was really no wooden pole that long.
This undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Le Jin, because he is short in stature and the fingers on his palms are much shorter than ordinary people. If he wants to grasp such a thick wooden beam, he has to use a little more strength than others.
However, the result of the competition was beyond everyone's expectation.
I don’t know what happened, but as soon as the two of them started exerting force, the horse under Le Jin stood upright. Le Jin hugged the wooden beam tightly, and the horse’s neck was just pressing against the wooden beam. The impact was huge.
Xu Ding, who was on the opposite side, caught the opportunity and watched helplessly as the wooden beam flew away from him and flew into the sky.
When he came to his senses, Le Jin across from him was smiling and hugging the wooden beam, patting the horse's head to calm the horse's mood.
"This..." Everyone else was dumbfounded.
A glint flashed in Xu Huang's eyes, and he was the only one who clearly saw Le Jin's method.
At the beginning of the competition, Le Jin first made a fake push forward motion, and Xu Ding followed suit and pushed the wooden beam forward.
At the moment when Xu Ding exerted his strength, Le Jin kicked the horse's chin with his front toes. The horse instinctively stood up to avoid unknown injuries. At this moment, Le Jin hugged the wooden beam in his arms and clamped his legs together.
Tighten the horse's belly and lean back.
Using the power of the horse to push upwards, while flying the wooden beam, he leaned back and pulled the wooden beam out of Xu Ding's hand. You know, Xu Ding was feinted by him and just wanted to push the wooden beam forward.
Unexpectedly, it pushed me into loneliness.
Xu Ding was belatedly aware of it at this time. He glanced at Le Jin, clasped his fists in admiration and said, "In terms of riding skills, I'm not as good as anyone."
Le Jin is also not modest. Because of his short stature, he has been practicing riding skills since he was a child, because only on horseback does he feel that he is no different from ordinary people. After so many years of hard training, he is extremely happy to be recognized today.
In the end, Xu Huang was left.
Everyone looked at Xu Huang.
From Lu Renjia to Huang Xu, and then to Le Jin, who looked very inconspicuous, but brought everyone a surprise. Unexpectedly, each of these people was more powerful than the last, and everyone couldn't help but look forward to Xu Huang in the end.
However, what is unexpected is that Xu Huang shook his head and said: "Can I not participate in the competition?"
Xu Ding frowned slightly and heard Xu Huang continue: "It's not that I'm arrogant. If I use my full strength, I'm afraid I will hurt you."
"Well……"
"Arrogant, too arrogant!"
"Thank you, coach, for teaching him a lesson. This guy is too crazy."
Everyone in Haojia Village was furious. They only nodded and looked at each other. They couldn't help but think of the scene of Xu Huang chopping firewood.
Xu Ding said: "It's okay if you don't compete, but you have to let everyone see your strength."
Xu Huang thought so, looked around, pulled out the Han Sword from his waist, then took it back with distress, and finally selected the wooden beam in Le Jin's arms, and muttered: "The feel is a bit worse, but the weight
That’s enough.”
Le Jin looked at him confused.
Xu Huang chuckled, turned the wooden beam with one hand, and raised it up to the sky.
He looked at a few stones on the ground and said, "I'm sorry Wen Qian, just throw the stones up to a height of about ten feet."
Le Jin nodded and cooperated very much. He picked up a fist-sized stone. Xu Huang shook his head and said, "It's too small. If it's bigger, the one next to it would be good."
Le Jin looked to the side and saw a stone as big as a child's head. He picked it up with both hands and threw it into the air with all his strength.
Seeing this, Xu Huang shouted: "You're just in time!"
The wooden beam in his hand turned violently in a circle, and then accurately hit the rapidly falling stone hard.
Bang... click!
The wooden beams broke with the sound, and debris flew out.
The stone was hit and flew out directly.
Everyone looked far into the distance, and the stone flew out of the edge of the cliff, at least a hundred steps away.
"My mother...if this were replaced by a human head...it wouldn't be able to bloom in its place!"
