After talking to Zhao Mingquan, Xue Chen would read the news every day to learn about the changes in the positions of the municipal party committee and government, but there was no information. It was Saturday in the blink of an eye, and he also received a call from Chi Jingtian again.
Just to remind him of tomorrow's archery competition.
Xue Chen didn't particularly care about this competition. If he lost, he would just return the bow. Of course, winning would be the best. He was still very interested in the billboard that Chi Jingtian proposed.
of.
On the weekend, Chi Jingtian called him very early again: "Xue Chen, we have arrived in Haicheng City, let's have some fun at the Houyi Archery Hall."
"Oh, you guys came really early." Seeing that it was only eight o'clock in the morning, Xue Chen replied with a smile.
Chi Jingtian didn't speak. They came so early to get used to the venue. He couldn't lose in this competition, and he didn't want to lose again!
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
Xue Chen got dressed and brought his bow and arrows. As soon as he went out, he received a call from Wang Dong, asking him if he was going to cheer for the archery competition today.
When Xue Chen arrived at Hou Yi's archery hall, as soon as Xue Chen entered the archery hall, he saw a group of people gathered in front of a target position, all watching a person shooting arrows. There were cheers and applause from time to time. It seemed that the atmosphere was very lively.
Xue Chen walked to the edge and saw Chi Jingtian standing in the circle of people, holding his arms and watching someone shoot an arrow. Then, his eyes shifted to the person shooting the arrow.
At this moment, when Xue Chen saw the man shooting the arrow for the first time, he felt that this man's movements were very coordinated and very standard, and his whole person exuded a spirit that ordinary people did not have.
He took another look at the target opposite and saw that almost every arrow reached a high level of above the eighth ring. It's no wonder there are so many people gathered here to watch one person shoot arrows.
"This person is really amazing. At this level, he should be on par with professional athletes."
"I think it should be a professional one. The movements are not so standard. Amateurs definitely can't do it."
"I've never seen this person playing in the archery hall before. This is the first time I've seen him."
People gathered around pointed and sighed from time to time.
Chi Jingtian glanced at his watch, then turned around and scanned the circle. When he saw Xue Chen standing outside the circle, his expression changed and he walked over: "Xue Chen, are you here?"
"Yeah." Xue Chen nodded.
Chi Jingtian turned back to the man who was shooting arrows and called out: "Brother Zhao, people are here."
Zhao Shi stopped shooting, turned around, walked over, and when he got there, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Xue Chen: "Hello, I heard from Jingtian that your archery level is very high, and I just want to play with you.
Do you mind if you play around for a while?"
"Of course I don't mind." Xue Chen said: "Mr. Zhao, you should be a professional athlete."
"It used to be." Zhao Shi said without hesitation.
The people watching the archery around heard Zhao Shi admit that he was once a professional archer, and they all secretly thought that professional archers are indeed not comparable to amateurs.
At this time, Wang Dong arrived late and seemed to be in a hurry. He jogged all the way to the front, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked: "Old Xue, the competition hasn't started yet. Fortunately, I arrived.
"
When the surrounding archery players heard that someone actually wanted to compete with this person who had retired from the professional team, they looked at each other in disbelief.
"Who wants to compete with people from professional teams? Isn't this asking for abuse?"
"It should be the young man with the black bag in his hand."
"Isn't this kid just making himself uncomfortable? He doesn't look like he's from a professional team."
As soon as they heard that someone was going to compete with the retired members of the professional team, those who were just about to leave stopped and stayed, intending to watch the excitement.
"Now that everyone is here, I think it's time to start, Xue Chen?" Chi Jingtian felt a little anxious. He couldn't wait to see Xue Chen being tortured.
"No problem, I happen to be in a hurry too, let's start now, don't waste everyone's time." Xue Chen agreed.
"What kind of comparison?" Chi Jingtian asked, looking at Zhao Shi and then at Xue Chen.
Zhao Shi waved his hand and said to Xue Chen very confidently: "It's up to you to decide how to compare. I don't care."
Xue Chen took another look at the impressive results on the archery target and narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure you want me to make the decision?"
"I said you decide, so it's up to you." Zhao Shi is very confident in his own level. No matter what the competition is, there is no possibility of him losing.
"Since you said that, I won't be polite." Xue Chen raised the corner of his mouth, showed a smile, and his eyes flashed, "Why don't we do some blindfolded archery."
"What, what kind of comparison?" Chi Jingtian asked. Not only him, but also Zhao Shi and the people around him didn't hear clearly.
"I'm talking about blindfolded archery, which means shooting arrows with your eyes covered with a cloth." Xue Chen explained in great detail.
The people around were shocked and looked weird. They had never heard of someone shooting an arrow blindfolded. Can they hit the target?
Chi Jingtian said unhappily: "Blindfolded archery, where is this kind of thing..."
"Okay, just do as he said, shoot while blindfolded." Zhao Shi waved his hand to interrupt Chi Jingtian's words, looked at Xue Chen sarcastically, as if he had seen through Xue Chen's trick, and said with a sneer: "I know.
your thoughts."
Xue Chen asked with a smile: "What do I think?"
"You know that according to the normal competition, you will definitely lose, so you came up with this method of blindfolded archery, in order to affect my professional level and give you a glimmer of hope of winning. Maybe you will win by accident.
, right?" Zhao Shi looked like he had seen through you.
"However, I want to tell you, if you think so, then it will be in vain. The level of professionalism is not what you can imagine. I have been archery all year round, and the muscles in my arms have already formed the instinct of archery. I once also
It’s not like I’ve never shot an arrow while blindfolded, but I can still display 60% to 70% of my strength. As for you, blindfolded, you’ll be lucky if you don’t miss the target.”
Hearing Zhao Shi's words, Chi Jingtian immediately beamed with joy, turned to look at Xue Chen, and there was a touch of mockery on the corner of his mouth: "Xue Chen, you should be very disappointed when you hear what Brother Zhao said."
Xue Chen looked at Zhao Shi who had seen through his plan and smiled inwardly. The reason why he wanted to play blindfold shooting was not because he really thought that he would definitely lose with his eagle eyes.
However, Zhao Shi's level is indeed very high. He is only 50-60% sure of normal archery. But he is not doing it for a real competition. He just wants to get the right to use the billboard, so naturally he doesn't mind using it.
A little bit of cheating.
He didn't think it was unfair, because Zhao Shi was once a professional athlete, and when he took the initiative to compete with him, it was no longer fair.
Upon hearing that the two people were blindfolded and shooting arrows, those who were ready to watch the fun immediately started talking, and they all felt very novel, because no one had ever played like this before. Gradually, more people heard about this and stopped talking.
Shoot archery and come over to watch the fun.
Chi Jingtian turned around and left for a while. When he came back, he already had two more black cloths in his hand and gave one to Zhao Shi and Xue Chen each.
"Xue Chen, you are asking for trouble. If you compete normally, you will lose to Brother Zhao. But as long as you perform to the same level as last time, you won't lose badly. But now you have to play blindfolded archery.
You really dug a hole for yourself and got yourself into it." When handing Xue Chen a piece of black cloth, Chi Jingtian snorted.
Xue Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense and handed the black cloth to Wang Dong beside him: "Dongzi, help me cover the cloth."
As soon as Wang Dong took the black cloth, he heard Chi Jingtian say to Wang Dong: "Wait a minute, I will blindfold Xue Chen, and you go and blindfold Brother Zhao. This is more fair."
Wang Dong glanced at Chi Jingtian, curled his lips in disdain, and walked over to blindfold Zhao Shi, while Chi Jingtian came over to blindfold Xue Chen.
When both parties were blindfolded, the atmosphere around them became extremely lively, with everyone pointing and looking at the two people, laughing and talking.
"Old Xue, come here, I will take you to the target position, don't touch it." Wang Dong was worried that Xue Chen was blindfolded and could not find the target, so he reached out to hold him.
"No need, I can find it myself." Xue Chen raised the corner of his mouth, strode to a target position, and stood still. What a joke, this piece of black cloth was no different to him.
On the other side, Zhao Shi did not let Chi Jingtian lead him. Based on the memory just now, he moved to the target position in small steps.
"Since everyone is busy, I think a set of arrows will determine the outcome." Xue Chen said loudly.
"Okay." Zhao Shi took a deep breath and tightened the bow in his hand. Although his face was full of confidence, he was a little uneasy in his heart. After all, blindfolded archery still had a relatively large impact on his level, and
It is easy to make fatal mistakes, but when I thought that Xue Chen was also blindfolded, I felt a little calmer.
The two sets of arrows were handed into the hands of the two men respectively. Seeing the two men drawing their bows and setting up arrows, the onlookers around them all held their breath, for fear of disturbing their performance and affecting such a wonderful competition.
Zhao Shi once served as a professional player, and archery has become an instinct. As soon as the arrow is placed on the bowstring, the adrenaline in the body begins to surge. Without much hesitation, the arrow is shot out, almost at the same time.
Soon, he heard low exclamations coming from around him.
The second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow... the people around him kept thinking of the exclamations. He knew that they were the wonders of his archery skills.
Arrows flew out of his hand like flowing water. Zhao Shi's heart beat violently, and his blood also surged. He could feel that he would never miss the target, and his results would definitely not be bad! (
