Everyone stared at He Yan's movements.
The young man walked to the crossbow. Compared to his thin and small body, the crossbow did not match him at all. She picked up the crossbow, took out an arrow from the quiver, and put her finger on it.
Wang Ba looked at her with disdain and said, "Put in more effort. Don't be like yesterday, putting on airs for a long time only to say that you can't pull it open."
He Yan did not seem to hear his words. On the other hand, Hong Shan was a little nervous and secretly worried for He Yan. The recruits in the army admired the strong. He Yan was not a girl, so they would not have any pity for him. They would only think that he was weak. Weak people were not worthy of sympathy. If he was a braggart, people would look down on him even more. He Yan had said yesterday that if he could not do it today, not only would the instructor secretly despise him, but other people in the barracks would also be ashamed to be associated with him and would not be friendly to him in the future.
He gave up yesterday without even pulling it open. Could it be that he could pull it open today?
The young man's gaze was fixed on the target. From this direction, his hands were very steady. His sunken eyes were like a hunting beast, quietly waiting for the moment to jump.
The bow was pulled open.
Bit by bit, it was not easy, but slowly, without any tremors, it was pulled open slowly. It was different from yesterday. It could be seen that the bow was slowly being pulled open.
"It's moving …" Xiao Mai excitedly tugged at Shi Tou's clothes. "Big Brother, A He Ge pulled the bow open!"
He knew that He Yan could do what he said. He did not know how many times he had said it!
The crowd whispered. Wang Ba did not expect this to happen. He was stunned at first, but then he immediately felt angry as if he had been slapped in the face. He gritted his teeth and stood still, wanting to see what kind of exquisite archery He Yan could show. Liang Jiaotou, who originally did not have much hope, was also attracted by He Yan's movements.
This kid was good. Yesterday, he had said that he could draw the bow today, and today, he really did. How did he do it in a day? Could it be that he had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger yesterday, saying that he didn't even know how to do it, just so that he could be in the limelight now?
While everyone was talking, the bow was already half drawn. He Yan stopped and did not continue to pull the string.
This was already her limit.
She loosened her grip and the arrow flew steadily towards the target!
Everyone stared at the tail feather of the arrow.
The arrow flew in the direction of the target, but before it reached the target, it fell powerlessly to the ground. There was a sigh of regret from the crowd, as if the arrow should have undoubtedly hit the center of the target.
He Yan withdrew his hand.
Xiao Mai was the first to jump out. He ran to He Yan's side and said with bright eyes, "A He Ge, you really pulled the bow!"
"Amazing!" Hong Shan also came over and patted He Yan on the shoulder. "You're really something!"
Although Shi Tou didn't say anything, he also smiled, showing that he was very happy. Liang Jiaotou also gave He Yan a look of affirmation.
When the surrounding recruits saw this, they gradually started to talk about it.
"He really pulled the string. Looks like he wasn't bragging."
"It's just luck. He just happened to pull the string."
"Luck is also a kind of strength. Plus, he did what he said. That's not bad."
Wang Ba was a little confused.
He came to see He Yan make a fool of himself, but in the end, it seemed like He Yan was the one who was in the limelight. He looked at the target that fell in the middle. He Yan didn't hit the target at all. He didn't even touch the edge of the target. If it was someone else, it would be a very bad result. Why was it that when it came to him, it was just short of applauding and celebrating?
Did he make a mistake?
Wang Ba was unconvinced. "Isn't it just pulling the bow? Ask around in the barracks, how many people pulled the bow? I'm afraid everyone except you. What's so great about that? "
"Me?" He Yan pointed at himself and laughed. "But I'm the exception. I couldn't pull the bow a day ago, but I pulled it a day later. That's called great."
Her eyebrows were curved, and she laughed happily. When Wang Ba saw this smile, he was so angry that his heart turned upside down. He said, "I'm not convinced!"
"What are you not convinced about?" He Yan asked.
Wang Ba was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He admired the strong and despised the weak. People like He Yan who was "weak" were born to dislike him. In addition, he had a grudge with He Yan in the past. If he didn't find trouble for He Yan, he wouldn't be happy.
"How can someone like you be a recruit and train with us?" Wang Ba turned to Liang Jiaotou. "Liang Jiaotou, I'm not convinced!"
Liang Jiaotou looked at them calmly and didn't have any intention of interrupting. He was an instructor, not their superior. After this batch of recruits finished training here, they might be stationed in the Liangzhou Guards, or they might follow Xiao Jue to other places. In the end, they wouldn't be his people. His responsibility was to teach them basic skills and pick out some good seedlings. In the end, it was the generals' job to organize the troops.
Was he going to lose Wang Ba, who was very talented in the bow and arrow, for He Yan, who didn't look particularly outstanding?
"You don't have to make things difficult for Liang Jiaotou." He Yan glanced at Liang Ping and knew what he was thinking. The instructor here was very cunning. He would definitely weigh the pros and cons at this time. She looked at Wang Ba. "Tell me what you want."
Wang Ba laughed sinisterly. "You'll be the head soldier."
"No." He Yan rejected without thinking. "Why should I?"
"Why should I?" Wang Ba said. "Because you couldn't draw the bow yesterday and shot so badly today. Your friend actually cheered for you. Don't tell me that when you go to the battlefield in the future, Da Wei's soldiers will be like you, using the bow and arrow so badly that they can't even kill a single enemy. Do they still need people to cheer for them? What kind of army is this! "
Wow, He Yan couldn't help but applaud Wang Ba in her heart. She even said that the mountain bandits were not literate. Now, it seemed that she was smart. Her words were so dignified. When she first entered the military camp, she was not so good at talking. She was indeed the head of the mountain. If she did not know how to bluff, how could she be the boss?
Fortunately, she had been in the army camp for so many years and had seen such a scene before.
"Not bad, you're right." The youth brushed away a lock of hair that had fallen on her forehead. She paused for a moment before saying, "However, you also saw that I couldn't draw the bow yesterday, but I can draw it today. You hit the target yesterday, and you still hit it today. "
Everyone looked at her. They didn't understand what she meant.
"I'm getting stronger day by day, but you're just getting stronger day by day. In that case, I'll be able to hit that grass target ten days later. What about you? You'll still only be able to hit this grass target. "
"Ten days later, I will definitely beat you," she said word by word.
