It's almost summer, but the weather is not too hot, and it rained again last night, so there are still drops of water hanging on the grass and trees in the morning.

"Whoosh" a hare ran forward against the turf, and there was a sound of horseshoes behind it. In order to run forward, the hare turned its head to look, as if it wanted to see who made it mess up. run away.I saw a total of more than 20 people chasing after them. The first four were extremely young, dressed in strong clothes, holding only longbows in their hands, with quiver bags hanging beside their horses, and behind them were more than a dozen strong men dressed as entourages. It was Fusu, Miss Yu, master and servant, and Xiang Yu.

At this time, Miss Yu had already spotted the hare, and hurriedly drew her bow and set an arrow to shoot at it.But it was a pity that the hare was running to a tree and turned around, and the arrow shot right at the trunk.Miss Yu snorted angrily, then quickly drew the arrow and shot at the hare, but perhaps because of her impatience, the arrow hit a few feet away from the hare.Frightened by these two arrows, the speed of the hare became faster, and it was about to escape from everyone's sight.At this time, Fusu suddenly heard a soft "boom" from the bowstring behind him, and then found a black shadow nailing the hare to the ground like lightning.Fusu turned his head and saw Xiang Yu put the bow back on his shoulder.

"Excellent archery! General Xiang is indeed a seasoned veteran." Qing Ming on the side praised him.Miss Yu also showed a look of admiration to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu just smiled and said, "It's just a small trick, it's not worth the fuss you two made." Then he rode up and pulled the arrow connected to the rabbit from the ground, and then Handed over to the followers behind.

Seeing the admiring gazes cast by the two women on Xiang Yu, Fu Su felt a little upset for some reason, so he searched for his prey without saying a word.He ran forward alone. At this time, the animals in the wild were comparable to the wild animals in the 21st century, so Fusu quickly found his target—a small deer drinking by the stream.In order not to scare it away, Fusu had already slowed down his horse when he saw him, and then took aim with his bow and arrow.To be honest, Fusu hadn’t really used a bow and arrow much, but his marksmanship was not bad when he was in the army, so he used the theory of three points and one line when shooting as a basis to aim at the deer. After aiming well, the finger holding the long arrow was released, and the arrow went straight to the deer.But as soon as the arrow was shot, Su knew that the arrow would not hit, because the moment he let go, his hand holding the bow actually lifted slightly due to the bow's own upward force. A shot in the back.The deer was frightened and ran up, stepping on it until the water splashed everywhere.

At this time Xiang Yu came to Fusu and said: "It seems that Brother Zhou is not good at bows and arrows." Fusu only smiled wryly and said: "I am indeed unfamiliar with this skill, but it makes me laugh."

Miss Yu and others also caught up at this time. They didn't see the arrow Fusu missed, but they saw the frightened fawn running desperately. Panic yet.Miss Yu didn't wait too long, and immediately fired the bow, and the arrow hit the empty space again, and the deer knew that someone was trying to shoot it down, so it ran faster.At this time, Xiang Yu raised the hard bow in his hand to hit the arrow, and then let go immediately when the bow aimed at the deer. The arrow made a "chuck" sound in the air and hit the deer. fell to the ground.Fusu saw that Xiang Yu's hand holding the bow was as still as a mountain when he shot the arrow, so the arrow did not change a little when it was shot, and knew that his archery skills were still far from Xiang Yu's.

"Okay!" Qing Ming gave another burst of applause, and happily ran forward to see if the deer was dead.

Fu Su cast an admiring glance at Xiang Yu, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart and said, "If I have a five-fourth style in my hand, I can't handle any animal." on their mounts.Miss Yu looked at Fusu strangely and said, "Why didn't Mr. Zhou shoot him an arrow?"

Fusu's face turned red, and he said: "I shot an arrow just now, but unfortunately I missed the target. General Xiang's archery skills are superb, and I'm willing to bow down."

"Xiang Yu just practiced archery for a few years longer than you guys." Xiang Yu said modestly, at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an animal sprinting by on his left hand, he hurriedly handed the bow to his left hand, and quickly drew out the arrow with his right hand Come on, shoot it out, all this only in an instant, before Fusu and the others could react, the beast had already been shot by the arrow and fell to the ground, but it was another hare.

As soon as this hand was revealed, Fusu was really convinced, and he bowed left and right. This idiom probably refers to Xiang Yu's wonderful archery.And Ms. Yu and the two were also dumbfounded. Qing Ming said: "I didn't expect General Xiang to be so powerful. Can you teach me and my little... son? We also want to be like you."

Xiang Yu smiled and said: "This archery skill cannot be learned in a day, it needs long-term practice. However, Mr. Yu's shooting posture is not correct, so he can't hit the target. I can correct your posture next time." Said Then jump off the horse.When Miss Yu heard this, she also got off her horse, took an arrow and put it on the bowstring and stood still.

Xiang Yu walked up to her, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Don't shrug your shoulders when shooting an arrow. Your eyes should be in line with the arrow. After aiming at the target, you must calm down and release the string quickly. Yes, that's right. That's it." As he spoke, he corrected Miss Yu's posture, but she still seemed to teach it.While listening to Xiang Yu's words, Fusu confirmed his actions when he was shooting an arrow, and he had some experience, but when he saw Xiang Yu's arm on Miss Yu's shoulder, for some reason, he felt annoyed. Come.He immediately reminded himself: "This is not the time for Fusu to think about these things, and Miss Yu is not someone of yours, not to mention that she is a man now, this action is also a normal contact." Although he comforted himself so much, Fusu Su knew in his heart that he was a little confused because he thought that Miss Yu might be Concubine Yu.

After being instructed by Xiang Yu, Miss Yu and Qing Ming wanted to show their skills even more, and after a while they saw a few small animals, and Miss Yu shot one of them with an arrow, making him flush with joy.After Fusu heard Xiang Yu's words, he also hit a few animals, so that everyone would gain a lot while shooting and hunting.

Before I knew it, it was almost noon, so everyone prepared to roast and eat the harvested prey.One of the attendants said: "There is a Po Tao Temple near here, let us have a rest there." Then he led everyone to the Po Tao Temple.Sure enough, not long after, everyone saw a dilapidated Taoist temple, so they tied their horses to a tree outside and walked in.

After a while, the fire was lit, and the hares and some small animals were put on the fire and roasted. Those followers obviously had prepared long ago, and they still carried a lot of condiments.After roasting for a long time, the aroma of the meat was already overflowing, making people salivate, and the two women lost their gentleness at all, and started to chew the rabbit legs in their hands.

After eating, Fusu took a casual look in the temple, but found a bronze tripod in the middle of its main entrance, he asked very strangely: "Why is there a tripod here?"

A follower ran over and said, "This tripod has been here for a long time, maybe someone gave it to the Taoist temple when the incense was still good."

Fu Suqi said: "Then why didn't anyone take it away and turn it into a weapon?"

"This tripod weighs nearly 800 kilograms, and it is very difficult to lift it up, so no one is interested in him."

At this time, Xiang Yu also came here, saw the tripod and said, "It's so heavy? Could it be the nine tripods built by Dayu?"

As soon as Fusu saw Xiang Yu, he thought of the legend about being able to carry a tripod, so he said, "It is said that General Xiang is powerful. I wonder if he can lift this bronze tripod?"

Xiang Yu circled the tripod and said: "Someone exaggerated the power of the tripod, but I think this tripod is still holding it up with some confidence." At this time, everyone was already attracted by their conversation. When they came over, they all showed interest when they heard what Xiang Yu said.A follower came up first, held the two feet of the tripod with both hands and said: "Let the villain try it first." After speaking, he exerted strength, but the tripod did not move at all.

Another person said with a smile: "Lao Liu, your strength is not as strong as mine, come and let me try." He also walked forward.Taking off the clothes on his body, Fusu saw the muscles on his body bulge suddenly, and only heard him stop drinking, he actually lifted the tripod a little bit from the ground, but then he used up all his breath, The tripod hit the ground with a "bump" again, causing the man to stagger.

"This tripod is really heavy. You are already the strongest among us, eighth; you can only lift it a little bit." The sixth son looked at Xiang Yu as he spoke, a little in disbelief that he could lift it.

Xiang Yu didn't say much, walked to the tripod, bent down, held the tripod's legs with both hands and tried it, then opened his eyes wide, and let out a loud shout, and the tripod was lifted from the ground by him danglingly. He got up, and then he shouted again, and with a sudden force of his arms, the [-]-jin cauldron was lifted above his head with both hands.At this moment, everyone present was stunned and forgot to applaud.Xiang Yu held the tripod above his head and walked for a distance of ten steps before putting it back on the ground and saying, "This tripod is indeed very heavy." After hearing his words, the crowd cheered as if awakened from a dream.

After everyone left the Taoist temple, they went back to Jiujiang City after hunting for a while. When Xiang Yu returned to his residence, he saw a person waiting for him. Come, tell me to let you know first."
