Chapter 168: (1st Update)

The news of the granary fire spread inexplicably in Licheng, and Hongyu told Xiao Jiu the news as soon as possible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"You mean, now it is rumored in the city that the army's granary was burned last night, not only the grain and grass, but also the cotton clothes for the winter?"

Xiao Jiu was thoughtful.

"Yes, I don't know where it came from, I haven't worked hard for half a day, and almost everyone in the entire Li City knows about it. ā€

Hongyu heard the news and muttered to herself, obviously the general came back last night, and he was not in a hurry when he left in the morning, so it was clear that there was no accident.

Otherwise, for such a big event as being burned with grain and grass, how could a general run back in the middle of the night and sleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms?

Hongyu thought about it as a matter of course, and didn't think that this news was true, but it came out suddenly, and it was somewhat suspected of inciting the people, so naturally it couldn't be treated as an ordinary rumor.

"Well, I see, pay attention to the house, and see if anyone is talking nonsense in private. ā€

"Yes, slave and maid understand. ā€

Yan Xi was able to come back last night, Xiao Jiu knew that it was true to burn grain and grass, but it was also true that it was not burned, this rumor suddenly spread all over the night, but I am afraid that it was also deliberate.

After thinking about these things clearly, Xiao Jiu didn't plan to do anything, and he was also afraid of ruining Yan Xi's affairs.

Su Ci went out early in the morning and didn't come back until noon, and then mysteriously pulled Xiao Jiu out of the yard.

"Brother, what are you doing, it's so cold outside. ā€

Although Xiao Jiu was wearing a down jacket, she was now an aunt, and she didn't want to blow the cold wind outside at all.

Although the General's Mansion is not big, it is not small for Xiao Jiu's family, Su Ci took Xiao Jiu to the side courtyard, pointed to the brand-new arrow target, and smiled warmly: "Look, my brother has collected a lot of bows and arrows for you, try which one to take advantage of." ā€

In the empty courtyard, there were not only arrow targets, but also two straw men, and two rows of shelves neatly placed on the side, on which more than a dozen bows were hung.

When Xiao Jiu's eyes swept over the row of bows, he was inexplicably embarrassed, Su Ci had collected so much, could it be that he broke it for her?

"You haven't learned before, shoot at the haystack first, find the right head. ā€

Su Ci was still worried that Xiao Jiu's strength was too strong and he couldn't control it.

"Okay. ā€

Xiao Jiu stuffed the hand stove into Su Ci's arms, stretched out his arms and legs, symbolically warmed up, and quickly walked over, choosing a bow at random, and did not deliberately weigh it, after all, in her eyes, these bows are all as light.

Although I haven't used a bow and arrow, I have seen a lot of it on TV, Xiao Jiu's posture of pulling a bow and arrows looks a little skillful, Su Ci is inexplicably relieved, and feels that her sister's archery should be no problem.

The straw man was not far away, Xiao Jiu pulled the bow and looked at it, stepped back a lot, and said to Su Ci: "Brother, you are the safest to stand behind me." ā€

If the arrow misses, Su Ci may have multiple blood holes on his body.

Su Ci's expression stiffened slightly, pursed her lips, and quickly walked to stand not far behind Xiao Jiu, her eyes kept falling on her hand that drew the bow.

Xiao Jiu couldn't feel the weight of this bow, so with a random hook, the bow was pulled away, aiming at the straw man, she let go, and the arrow feathers were off the string.

"Let's go!"

At a distance of one meter from the straw man, the arrow feathers landed, obviously not strong enough.

Xiao Jiu frowned, stretched out his hand and pulled it again, "Bang!"

"Shhh

Xiao Jiu painfully let go of the bow in her hand, which had been pulled off by her, looked at the cut wound on her finger, and wanted to scream in pain.

"Xiao Jiu'er!"

Su Ci rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed Xiao Jiu's broken finger, felt distressed and regretful, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and held the wound down.

"Isn't it painful, it's all my brother's bad, these bows are not good, wait for my brother to find you a good bow, you can learn again!"

Ten fingers connected to the heart, not to mention that the wound was still cut horizontally by the bowstring, Su Ci held down the wound, and the blood that flowed out quickly stained the veil red.

"It's okay, little wound, it's not cut off. ā€

Xiao Jiu is actually a person who is very afraid of pain, but seeing Su Ci feel so guilty, she is not good at crying out about pain.

Su Ci couldn't listen to Xiao Jiu's words, he could feel his sister's emotions before, and now he was naturally no exception.

"Don't say stupid things, how can such a deep mouth not hurt?" Su Ci said impatiently: "Go back first, my brother will bandage you, you have to be careful these days, the wound will heal slowly in winter." ā€

Except that the wound was really painful, Xiao Jiu actually felt that it was not a big deal, after all, it was her uncontrolled strength that caused the bowstring to break and cut her finger.

Su Ci pulled Xiao Jiu and left in a hurry, and after dealing with the wound, he still looked like he was palpitating, obviously frightened.

Xiao Jiu felt that Su Ci's reaction was a bit too radical, but she didn't know how to comfort her, let alone why Su Ci was so abnormal.

"Brother, it's okay, a little wound, it'll be fine in a few days, I can't use a bow and arrow, otherwise I can make some darts or throwing knives for me, so I won't hurt myself." ā€

After several times in the capital, Xiao Jiu felt that he still had the right head to throw things, and he would not be injured by mistake.

Su Ci also slowly calmed down, he glanced at Xiao Jiu, sighed slightly, and said, "Xiao Jiu'er, it's my brother who is too nervous." ā€

As for why, he didn't say.

"Okay, the darts and knives are too conspicuous on the body, wait for my brother to think about it and make you some hidden weapons that are not easy to be discovered. ā€

The shadow left by the events when he was a child was too heavy, even if Xiao Jiu was injured today, Su Ci was distressed, but he never thought that because of his distress, he would let his sister give up learning these things that could protect herself.

"Well, brother, just look at it. ā€

Xiao Jiu looked down at the tight index finger of the bag, and teased himself: "I'm going to hold chopsticks like this these days......
