"Go to your village and fetch me a basin of water, and I'll teach you," said Xu Zimei with a smile.
The child looked at Xu Zimei with a puzzled glance, then scampered off into the village.
Watching the child's retreating figure, Xu Zimei smiled and shook his head.
Though he had seen it once in his previous life, he still couldn't help being amazed at the intelligence of these children in the paintings when he saw them again.
Before long, the child returned, panting with a small basin of water.
Xu Zimei placed the basin under the sun and, lining up the angle, a reflection of the sun appeared in the water.
"Shoot your arrows at this reflection, and you can hit the sun," Xu Zimei pointed to the basin and said.
This bow-drawing and sun-shooting test was somewhat like a monkey trying to fish the moon out of the sea, but the difference was that while the monkey never caught the moon, you can actually hit the sun.
