Chapter 131: Arrow Feather
After dinner, the three of them went home together, the bow he was carrying still attracted a lot of attention, fortunately the bow and arrow were not dangerous objects, or even controlled knives, otherwise someone might have called the police.
Walking to the intersection where he was usually separated from Chen Yiyi, Jiang Chanji's footsteps involuntarily paused.
In the past few days, Chen Yiyi has been living in a rental apartment building, he thought that she might go home to see when she was angry, but he didn't expect her to go home at all, it seems that her parents' usual attitude towards her is worse than he imagined, otherwise it would not have broken up so completely.
Who is to blame for this? Is it to blame her for not being filial?
Filial piety is also conditional, everyone is a modern person, not as foolish and filial as in ancient times, and even the ancient people of insight knew that the father was unkind, the son went to another country, the king was not righteous, and the minister went to a foreign country.
Chen Yiyi chose not to go home due to her parents' cold violence and abuse, and others have no reason to blame her.
Originally, he wanted to persuade her to go home and take a look after a while, even if it was from a distance, to see if they repented, and her ability to do it with this convenient condition, but now in this situation, it seems that there is no need to persuade her.
When sending Zixuan back to the public bathhouse, Aunt Wenhua saw this bow and exclaimed: "Chanji, where did this bow come from......?
He had heard similar words many times.
Aunt Wenhua tried to touch it, and as soon as she touched the bow, she retracted her hand as if it triggered static electricity—she felt the bow...... In superstitious terms, it means that the yin qi is very heavy, like a burial object buried in the ground for a long time, with an indescribable yin qi.
It's not about science, it's purely a woman's sixth sense.
"Chanji, is this bow really okay?"
She told them how she felt, and what she was worried about was whether long-term exposure to such yin qi would be bad for the body? Because women's bodies are inherently yin, this is a yin on top of yin.
Jiang Chanji listened to her intuition very much, because the big white bat did live in the depths of the cave for a long time and did not come out, and the bones and feces of various animals and even the bones of children were companions, and the yin qi was heavy, but unfortunately she guessed wrong, he was not a woman, so he couldn't talk about yin on yin, and he himself didn't believe in these things.
The more sensitive the person, the worse the resistance to the screaming of the bone arch, so when Zixuan's father came over to join in the fun and asked him to put an arrow to try, he politely refused, otherwise he would have to do something.
After eating, he called Chen Yiyi, and the two went back to the apartment building together.
He thought that the landlady might also make a fuss when she saw the bow, but in fact the landlady just raised her eyebrows slightly and let them go upstairs without saying anything.
Back on the third floor, he called Chen Yiyi to his room and told her the ins and outs of the bow in detail.
He didn't even have a chair in his room, so he had to ask her to sit on the bed.
She listened quietly, with only a few subtle changes in expression as she listened.
Before he could finish speaking, she shook her head and said, "I'm not interested, I don't want to use it, I'll just use a knife." ”
Jiang Chanji expected her to answer like this, but he was still relieved in his heart.
"By the way, are you used to living here?" he pulled the topic back to home.
She hesitated, "It's okay." ”
Jiang Chanji was stunned for a moment, what do you mean by being okay?
He thought about it and seemed to understand.
"If you want to take a bath, you can only go to the public bathhouse in Zixuan's house. ”
She has lived here for a few days, and she has already discovered this problem, no matter how she is also a young girl, she has to participate in ability training in the academy every day, she will definitely sweat, and it is really uncomfortable not to take a bath for a few days.
He estimated the time, "Why don't you go take a shower now, there may not be many people now, and there are fewer people taking a shower in the women's bathroom than in the men's bathroom...... That's what I've heard!"
She sighed, obediently stood up, wanted to go back to her room to prepare something for the bath, and when she reached the door, she turned back and asked, "Won't you wash?"
"I'm used to washing in the morning! Go ahead, don't wait for the water to get cold!"
Jiang Chanji could only pretend to be confused at this time, although he guessed the meaning of her words, he really didn't want to trigger the side quest of "Let's go to the bath together......
It's really troublesome for girls to do everything together, like going to the cafeteria together, going to the commissary together, going to the toilet together, etc...... He wasn't used to it.
She was slightly disappointed, but only slightly.
After a while, she grabbed her bath supplies and locked the door and left the room.
Jiang Chanji, who had no nighttime entertainment, was planning to go to bed early and stand his bone arch against the wall.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, which was a rarity.
His first reaction was that Chen Yiyi went to the shower without change, but after thinking about it, she could get in without spending money, and Aunt Wenhua would not take her money.
There was a heavy knock on the door, and he guessed who it was.
"Aunt Landlord......"
He opened the door, and sure enough, he saw the landlady standing in the doorway like an iron tower.
"Uh......"
He was about to speak, but her body was casually pulled aside by her.
"Where's that bow? I'd like to see ...... again."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the bow standing by the wall, and it was hard to see the big fart in the room.
Jiang Chanji said that it didn't matter, she could watch it if she wanted to, and she wouldn't get pregnant if she looked at it.
The landlady picked up the bone bow as soon as she reached out, and he didn't even have time to dissuade her, but she didn't show any special reaction when she picked up the bow.
She looked at the bone arch, her rough fingers rubbed on the bow repeatedly, as if she was very knowledgeable, Jiang Chanji's only worry was whether she would coat the bone bow with a layer of lard......
"This bow must be worth a lot, right?" she said.
"Uh...... Auntie, I owe you rent and utilities, and I will find a way to pay it back......," he said timidly.
The aunt glared at him, "You think I'm asking you to sell your bow to pay back?"
Jiang Chanji was stunned, "Isn't it?"
He really thought that the landlord's aunt had taken a fancy to his bow and planned to collect the rent......
She snorted, put the bow back in its place, and saw his quiver again, picked it up and drew a wooden arrow from it.
"It's not a good arrow. She said.
Arrows are ordinary arrows, but they can't be said to be bad, right?
"What's the problem?" he asked.
The landlady pointed to the arrow feather, "How many times have you shot this arrow? ”
"Really?"
He didn't pay attention to the practice when he was practicing, and when he looked at the arrow feathers carefully, he found that the shape of several arrow feathers had been skewed or even mutilated.
"The power of this bow is too strong, and after the arrow is fired, it spins at a high speed, and ordinary arrow feathers can't withstand that kind of force at all. She snorted, "A good horse with a good saddle, a good bow with a good arrow, why didn't your school give you a matching arrow?"
The landlady seemed to be quite expert, and Jiang Chanji asked curiously, "Auntie landlady, do you know how to shoot arrows?"
"I won't, someone I knew before would. She shook her head, "You haven't answered the question yet, or is it inconvenient to answer?"
"Uh...... Because this bow is considered a trophy for us, Chen Yiyi and me, and another person, but there are no matching arrows in the first place, and these arrows are still used by the teacher for me to practice. He replied truthfully.
"That school is really stingy, and it doesn't come out with some good arrows. The landlady pouted.
"Maybe you don't want us to develop a dependency mentality. He guessed, "This feather looks like a real feather, and I think it would have been stronger if it had been an artificial feather, right?"
"You're wrong, the feathers aren't strong. She stuck the arrow back into the quiver, "Come down with me." ”
Jiang Chanji followed her to the administrator's room downstairs.
She went back to the bedroom and rummaged for a while, took a small box, put it on the table, and opened it.
Inside the box were feathers of similar size, and a few of them were still stained with dried blood, and I don't know what kind of animal's blood it was.
"These feathers are what I got before, it's useless to keep them, it's not worth a few dollars if you want to sell them, there are too few people who know the goods, borrow them from you, replace those garbage feathers." ”
She pinched up a feather, and through the blood stains left on it, it seemed to see the days when she didn't know the height of the sky, and went with her companions with a gun to hunt a fierce bird in order to be reckless, but she almost died there, only picking up a few feathers.
"Auntie, you mean...... Are these feathers from otherworldly animals?" he asked, surprised.
"Transcendent animals, I guess so, but it was a long time ago, something I didn't want to think about. She pushed the box to him, "Take it, live well, and don't forget that you still owe me rent, and I don't want to go and ask the dead for a debt." ”
