Chapter 14 The Wave-Shaped Heart Voice
Later, they did come to know the difference slowly, but the process was not very beautiful...

In the summer in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be a lot of rain.

It has been falling since morning, and the drizzling has never stopped.

Xie Yuan held his cheeks and tilted his head to look out the window, feeling a little irritable.

It's been two days, morning exercises have been stopped, and she's either staying in the school or in the bedroom all day long. She feels uncomfortable all over her body, as if she's about to get fat.

Beside her, Shen Liuzhen tilted his head slightly, held up a pen, compared the book, and recorded the book word by word, and he felt that something was wrong.

Looking sideways, I saw Xie Yuan tilting his head, staring at him with a demented and lifeless look.

He felt uncomfortable, but Xie Yuan didn't like him much, so he couldn't say anything.

So I forced myself to concentrate and keep writing.

However, just as he regained his focus and focused on the words in front of him, Xie Yuan started shaking his feet again.

Out of the corner of his eye, his two feet were stumbling together, his black soap boots were shaking non-stop, right in front of his eyes beside his book...

It's hard not to notice.

"Teacher..." Shen Liuzhen finally opened his mouth, "A Yuan has been shaking his feet, making me upset."

Father Xie was immersed in his book, and put the book down as soon as he heard this.

I happened to see Xie Yuan propping up half of his face, facing Shen Liuzhen's direction, but his eyes were fixed on him, frozen there, as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.

Looking down again, under the table, her feet tripped together... Sensing his gaze, she quickly separated and put them away.

There is no silver 300 taels here.

Father Xie walked over and looked at the homework on her desk. He wrote half of it and didn't move it. The ink on the brush was dry.

"A Yuan, stretch out your hand, what's wrong?" Father Xie asked a stern question in an amiable tone.

Xie Yuan stretched out his hand pitifully, and said: "... I was distracted in class, and I didn't finish my homework properly."

"Clap!"

Father Xie hit her twice with a ruler.

Then he asked again: "Stand out your feet, where did you go wrong?"

Xie Yuan clutched his palms, tears flickered, and said, "You don't need your feet..."

"Stretch your feet..." Father Xie dragged his voice and emphasized his tone.Xie Yuan couldn't resist, and finally stretched out his legs from under the table.

"Sitting is good... Ouch! Aha, it hurts!" Xie Yuan yelled, the "bang" on her calf was much more painful than a palm board.

After the punishment, Father Xie turned around and looked at Shen Liuzhen's desktop, nodded in satisfaction, and said:

"Yes, Not Bad."

Then, he pointed to Xie Yuan behind him and said, "If she is dishonest again, tell me again."

"Yes, teacher." Shen Liuzhen said obediently, gave Xie Yuan a smug smile, and continued to write his words.

Xie Yuan frowned and stared at him, but he had a thick skin and didn't receive it.

Father Xie seemed to have eyes behind his back, and said as he walked: "Xie Yuan, you have admitted the reason for your punishment, don't look back for opportunities to take revenge on Liu Zhen, you understand?"

Xie Yuan's thoughts were pierced, and he said, "I know dad."

But I was unconvinced in my heart and thought: Isn't it just to supervise each other, find a suitable reason to file a complaint, and she will too.

Just wait and see.

……

……

Father Shen specially asked someone to order a batch of bows and arrows for children to practice, and set up a small shooting range in the yard of Shen's house to teach Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen how to use archery.

Today's weather is good, the sky is blue and white clouds, and there is wind from time to time.

In Xie Yuan's sight, the clouds in the sky have been slowly changing and moving.

She held the bowstring in her hand and looked at the sky, feeling very interesting.

And beside her, Shen Liuzhen looked like he couldn't even stand, and kept looking behind him. If he felt that Shen's father was coming, he would hold the bowstring for a while longer.

If he felt that Shen's father was far away and would not appear for a while, he would lazily sit on the ground and hold Xiao Gong in his arms, like an old farmer basking in the sun with a pipe in his arms.

It is really rare to see this kind of "steady as Mount Tai" temperament in a six or seven-year-old child with a bun on his head.

Xie Yuan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, without saying anything, slowly loosened the bowstring, put it down, rested for two breaths, then pulled it away neatly, held it flat, and looked at the clouds in the sky.

Yo, it was like a pile of poop, now it's like a big bird, she thought.

After a while, Shen's father finished his official business and ran over to have a look.

Well, Xie Yuan stood upright, with a standard posture for drawing the bow, and his arms were steady, which made him feel comfortable.

Looking at Shen Liuzhen again...

I don't know if his clothes don't fit well, are too baggy, or what.Why does the way he draws the bow look so awkward, it always feels like something is missing...

Father Shen felt uncomfortable as if scratching his heart with claws.If Father Xie hadn't told him, this kid was extremely gifted in reading.At any rate, there is a sign that something can happen.

Now he wants to pull him over and beat him up again.

Forget it, Shen's father sighed, and thought: It would be good if you are willing to put in the effort to practice, and I didn't even dare to think about it before.

In order to make him squat, chasing and beating him every day didn't work, did it?

But at this moment, Xie Yuan's crisp and tender voice suddenly sounded:
"Master, after you left, Liu Zhen sat down for a total of eight times, and never drew the bow for more than two breaths, only a total of twelve times."

Hearing her words, Shen Liuzhen was stunned immediately, and then subconsciously raised his hands to cover his head and face.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see his father's slap down.

When he opened his eyes to look, his father withdrew his hand, sighed and said, "If your teacher and wife hadn't told me that I scared Yuan'er by slapping you last time, look, I won't slap you." kill you!"

Father Shen stared at his already big eyes like a portrait of evil spirits, pointed to his nose and said:
"You don't feel ashamed. You are so far behind Xie Yuan, and you don't know how to work harder to catch up? Are you still thinking about being lazy every day?
After drawing the bow forty times, I watched, what time are you going to go to Xie's house for Chinese lessons after practicing! "

Shen Liuzhen's entire face turned pale, and he scratched his face and said, "Father...he...how can you believe his one-sided words?"

Father Shen heheed twice, staring at his expression, he obviously didn't believe it, and threatened him:

"Why don't I add ten more to you?"

"I practice...I practice..." Shen Liuzhen could only compromise.

It really cost half his life, which is worse than beating him.

Looking at Xie Yuan again, that guy was drawing his bow in a heroic manner, holding it flat, and practicing with all his heart, without even looking at him.

ok... really ok~
Shen Liuzhen strenuously pulled the bowstring, his arms trembling, because it was too much effort, even his voice became waves.
