Chapter 4: White Rock Rock
"Brother Lin, come to my house so early, but what is the matter with me?" Uncle Bart's daughter, Ba Luo, came out of the yurt and asked with two big eyes after seeing Lin Yi.
Ba Luo is two years younger than Lin Yi, and the two used to play together. Lin Yi is not as rough as other boys on the grassland, he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Ba Luo has liked to play with Lin Yi very much since he was sensible, and now he is very happy to see Lin Yi coming.
"Sister Baluo, I'm here to find your father, and I want him to teach me archery. ”
When Lin Yi was bullied by the older children in the tribe when he was a child, Ba Luo would always stand up and relieve Lin Yi, because of Bart, those children in the tribe were afraid of Ba Luo, afraid that she would sue in front of her father, and after a long time, no one would bully Lin Yi. So Lin Yi caught some small animals as gifts from time to time to give them to Baluo, as a way to thank this grassland girl.
"It turned out to be looking for my father. Ba Luo's little face tensed, and he turned his head to stop looking at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was about to speak, but saw Bart walk out of the yurt, out of respect, Lin Yi hurriedly took a step forward and saluted Bart. Seeing that Lin Yi was in order, Bart looked happy.
"It's Xiao Lin Yi who is here, your mother has already told me that you want to learn arrows from me, let me ask you, have you suffered?"
"Uncle Ba, I can endure hardship. ”
Batllio pondered for a moment, "There are constant wars on the grassland, although you are young, it is also good for you to learn martial arts in advance, but to learn my archery, you must endure hardships and endure tiredness." ”
"Don't worry, uncle, I can endure hardship. Lin Yi waved his little hand.
Seeing the wound on the little arm that was bitten by a fierce wolf, Bart remembered what Tie Xunyu had said, Huzi, this kid will definitely become the best grassland warrior when he grows up.
"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, I'll teach you archery. After saying that, Bart left with a smile and went straight to the clan tent.
After Bart left, Lin Yi saw that Ba Luo was unhappy, and asked in a low voice, "Ba Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Where did Lin Yi know, this Baluo was very happy to see Lin Yilai, I thought that Lin Yi was looking for her, but now I know that it is not, I feel bored, so I am a little unhappy.
"I heard yesterday that you were bitten by a wolf, and I want to see you today, your injuries are okay, right?"
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. ”
"Why do you want to learn arrows from my father?" In Baluo's opinion, Lin Yi is the same as himself, he is still a child, why should he do something that only adults do.
Lin Yi didn't know how to answer her, and after thinking about it, he said: "Sister Baluo, to survive on the grassland, only people like Uncle Ba and Uncle Tie can keep their families safe." I learned archery so that my mother and I could survive here. ”
Listening to Lin Yi's words, Ba Luo didn't have anything to say, since he could remember, he hadn't lived a day of stability, and only after moving to this valley did he live quietly for a few years.
"Brother Lin, then you have to study hard, and you have to protect me if you learn well. ”
"Okay, I'll protect you. ”
There is a white rock in the Momiji Valley, where the terrain is flat, overgrown with weeds, and there are many strange stones, most of which are white, and are also called white rocks.
There is a cave in the white stone rock, the hole of this hole is very small, only one person can go in, but the cave is surprisingly large, there is a place of ten zhang, there is a spring in the hole, the spring water is continuous all year round, because there are many stones here, the people of the tribe are not willing to graze here, this white stone rock has become a place for children to play.
It's just that in this cave, there is another entrance, there is no bottom, Lin Yi once met with his partner to explore the cave, and after walking for a few hours, there was a lot of glowing stone in the cave, and there was nothing else, everyone lost interest, so they retreated back and never went in again.
Lin Yi came to this white stone rock after leaving Baluo's house, and then went to the cave, Lin Yi took out the green spar in his arms, and compared it with the stone in the cave, Lin Yi felt that the stone in the cave was still good-looking, but Lin Yi still put the green stone into his arms.
Walked out of the cave, climbed up a big rock and sat on it, this was once Lin Yi's favorite place to come, and it brought him happiness. Later, after Lin Yi followed Tie Langyu to participate in the patrol of the clan soldiers, Lin Yi came here less often. Bart had promised to teach him archery, Lin Yi was a little excited, Lin Yi on the white stone looked up at the sky, fantasizing that one day, he would be able to gallop a horse and pull a bow to the grassland......
The next day, Lin Yi got up early in the morning, and after eating the food that his mother had already prepared, Lin Yi came to the place where he had made an appointment with Bart.
Momiji Valley White Rock Rock.
In front of Bart, there were three different bows, some large and some small, and the largest one was only a section shorter than Lin Yi. After seeing this bow, Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but move! On the side of the three bows, there were six white stones, each in a group of two, and each group was very different. However, the white stones are slightly square-shaped, with a handshake on them, which seems to be used to practice strength.
"Lin Yi, go and try it, how many can you pull the bow?"
Of these three bows, the largest one requires both arms to exert a thousand catties of strength to pull it apart, and in this Moon Clan, only Bart can do it. The middle one, the arms need 800 catties of strength, and only a few people in the Yue tribe can use this bow.
The smallest one, the arm strength is only 300 catties. The army on the grassland used the most bow with an arm strength of 300 catties.
Bart put these three bows here, he already knew that Lin Yi couldn't pull them away at all, even the smallest one, and it was definitely not used by Lin Yi, who was only twelve years old, Bart wanted to let this guy know how capable he really was, and frustrate Lin Yi's temperament, lest he be too ambitious, which would be good for learning arrows.
Lin Yi strode forward, picked up the largest bow, held the back of the bow with his left hand, buckled the bowstring with his right hand, and pressed his arms hard, but the bow did not move.
His face was red, Lin Yi pulled hard again, but he still didn't pull it away, so he had to put the bow down, and then picked up the smallest bow on the ground, which was also not pulled away, Lin Yi's face turned even redder, and he slowly put down the smallest bow and stepped aside.
"Let's see if you can lift the stone. ”
This time, Lin Yi walked directly to the two smallest white stones, stretched out his hands and held a stone at the same time, the white stone was less than two feet long and wide, but it weighed about 100 catties.
The other stones were bigger than this, and Lin Yi knew that he couldn't lift any of them, so he didn't dare to try again.
"If you want to practice archery well, your arm strength and waist strength must be large, and your lower plate must be stable, without strength, you can't even pull the bow away, how to shoot an arrow?"
"From now on, practice your strength first, and when you can draw your bow when you have practiced your strength, it's not too late to learn arrows. ”
Lin Yi nodded.
"Do you see the hill in front of you, from now on, run ten times a day, no more than one pillar of incense at a time. In addition, when you can lift these six stones, when will you teach archery. With that, Bart put his bow away and left.
Looking at Bart in the distance, Lin Yi felt that he was too weak, and he couldn't even pull the bow in front of Uncle Bart, how could he let Uncle Bart teach him archery. Lin Yi gritted his teeth and rushed towards the top of the mountain in the distance......
After returning home that day, Dong asked Lin Yi with a smile how he learned archery, and Lin Yi told Dong what he had done that day.
"Yi'er, what do you want to do, my mother won't stop you, but you can't forget to practice the words that your mother taught you, and no matter how hard and tired you are in the future, you must continue to learn, otherwise your mother will prevent you from learning archery again. ”
Lin Yi never understood that no one on this grassland was literate at all, only his mother could do it, every time he taught himself, Lin Yi also went to his partner to talk to him, but what he got was a sound of ridicule, and even Sister Baluo wondered, what is the use of learning that thing on this grassland. But her mother ignored it, from childhood to adulthood, her mother always relied on herself no matter what, but it was just a matter of learning words, as long as Lin Yi was a little lax, he would be punished by the understanding family.
"Mother, I won't delay. After Lin Yi finished speaking, he picked up a dry wooden branch about two feet long, walked to the sand table that Dong had made for himself, and wrote seriously......
......
When the snow covered the entire grassland, the valley was white.
A month later, Lin Yi felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger, in this month, Lin Yi had to keep running around all day, tired of running and resting for a while, and then practicing arm strength, the white stone could not be lifted, Lin Yi used a small stone to practice. Until his arms were sore, and he was unable to lift the small rocks, he began to run wild in the snow......
Ba Luo learned that Lin Yi was in Baishiyan Arrow, and secretly went there a few times, but when he saw that Lin Yi only cared about hard training, he ignored her at all, so he simply stopped going.
Bai Shiyan, Tie Langyu watched Lin Yi keep running, since the last time he encountered the fierce wolf, the patriarch sent someone to the hill to check, and the guards took a closer look at the dead wolf corpse, and then returned to the tribe to tell the leader. The leader heard from the guards that all the wolf corpses were unharmed, and the cause of death was unknown.
The leader thought that Tie Langyu and they must have been protected by the grassland god, so he immediately set up an altar and offered sacrifices in person. After that, he ordered no more patrols in the future, and only sent two clan soldiers to guard the mouth of the Momiji Valley every day.
Since then, Tie Langyu has no longer led the team on patrol, and there is nothing to do all day. Later, I heard that Lin Yi learned arrows from Bart and was practicing hard in Baishiyan, thinking that Lin Yi died with him on his last patrol, Tie Langyu was reluctant to feel guilty, and Lin Yi's mother Dong had saved his life, and he wanted to teach him a skill when Lin Yi grew up, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to learn archery with Bart first.
happened to be okay today, so Tie Langyu came to this Baishiyan to see how Lin Yi's archery skills felt. After arriving at Baishiyan, Tie Langyu didn't expect that Lin Yi was not practicing archery, but the most basic physical training.
Tie Langyu also admired Bart's archery skills, but he was a little dissatisfied with Bart's approach to Bart when he saw how he trained Lin Yi at this time. Half-grown children, how much strength can they have, archery is not practiced from an early age, and when they grow up, they will naturally be able to pull a strong bow.
Seeing him working so hard, a smile appeared on Tie Langyu's face!
