Three years later, Lijiazhuang, grove.

A figure dressed in white, holding a green wood bow, raised his hand, took the arrow, wound it, pulled the bow in one go, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the apples on the big tree in the distance fell in response.

"Smack, smack, smack......"

There was a round of applause, and the village chief walked over from the side.

"Village Chief." Li Hai bowed respectfully.

"Xiaohai, you are very good! Three years, in just three years, you will be able to master arrows, knives, and guns! Village Chief, I really didn't look away! The village chief looked at Li Hai with a proud face, after all, he was the one who came out.

"Village Chief, I want to join the hunt tomorrow!" Lehi fiddled with the bow and arrow in his hand, not looking at the village chief, but his voice was full of determination.

"Xiaohai, you are only ten years old now, you are too young, you should wait for three years." The village chief thought about it for a while, but still politely refused.

"Village Chief, I think my current strength has met the requirements for entering the hunting team." Li Hai continued without giving up: "Besides, you also know the village chief, my father is sick in bed now, and the family is really difficult, and it is time for me to provoke the pillars of the family." ”

"Xiaohai, your strength meets the requirements of the hunter team, but it is up to your uncle to decide whether you can join or not." The village chief saw that Li Hai had made up his mind, and Li Hai had a point, so people sometimes had to face reality and make changes, and they no longer stopped them.

......

At the practice ground, all the members of the hunting team gathered.

"Xiaohai, you said you were going to join the hunting team?" Li Gang knew that Li Hai was extremely talented, and he had made great progress in the past three years, but after all, he was only ten years old, so he had to be a little suspicious.

"Yes." Lehi nodded heavily.

"Xiaohai, you are too young now, if you don't think about it, wait a few years, hunting is not child's play, if you are not careful, you will die."

Before Li Gang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Hai: "Uncle Gang, you don't have to persuade me, joining the hunting team was also proposed by me after careful consideration, I think my strength has reached the standard of being able to hunt the team, if Uncle Gang doesn't believe it, you can give it a try." ”

"Well, since Xiaohai said so, I won't grind." Li Gang beckoned back, "Li Shan, you come out." ”

"Today, Xiaohai, as long as you defeat Li Shan, I will agree to you join the hunting team." Li Gang took a few steps back and gave up the middle position to the two of them.

Li Shan is thirteen years old this year, and he has only participated in one hunting, and Li Gang asked Li Shan to come out to compare with Li Hai, which is not deliberately embarrassing.

"Xiaohai, this kid is really good, he dared to say that he joined the hunting team at the age of ten, and my baby is far from Xiaohai when he compares with him."

"Yes, Xiaohai has always been teaching the village chief, and I think it is really possible to succeed this time."

"I don't think so, Xiaohai is powerful, but after all, he is only ten years old, and he is still too young."

"I think it's the same, ten years old is still too young, maybe next year will be about the same."

"When you say that, I really think that Xiaohai may really be able to join us next year."

The hunting team members on the side watched the two chatting with great interest, although most of them were not optimistic about Lehi, but this did not affect Lehi's state in the slightest.

"Brother Shan, I'm offended." Lehi bowed his hand to Li Shan and bowed.

"Xiaohai, you have to be careful. I'm not going to let you. Li Shan also bowed his hand and returned the salute.

As soon as the words fell, Li Shan took out the scabbard and threw it at Li Hai.

Li Hai did not panic, and on the side of his body, he dodged the scabbard thrown by Li Shan, and at the same time, his right hand wiped his waist and pulled out the knife.

Li Shan did not give Lehi the slightest respite, and with a knife in both hands, he slashed at Lehi.

Lehi's eyes narrowed, but he was not afraid, and he raised his sword to shake hard.

"Bell."

The two knives collided, and the two took a few steps back at the same time.

"Than strength?" Li Hai, who was standing firmly, was stimulated by Li Shan's style of play, changed his defense to attack, and immediately stepped forward with his knife and slashed towards Li Shan.

"Just what I want!" Seeing that Lehi's fighting style was the same as his, he relied on strength to fight, Li Shan was overjoyed in his heart and immediately raised his sword to greet him, he was three years older than Lehi, how could he be afraid of Lehi.

"Bell."

The two collided together again, but this time Li Hai did not move, but Li Shan retreated again and again.

"Huh."

Lehi was unforgiving, and kicked the dirt under his feet at Li Shan.

Seeing the dirt flying, Li Shan subconsciously covered his face with his hand.

Li Hai, who had long expected Li Shan to have this reaction, seized the opportunity to step forward and kicked at Li Shan's chest.

"Poof."

Li Shan, who was kicked by Lehi, fell down in response.

"Xiaohai, this kid didn't expect to be so powerful." Li Shan was knocked down by Li Hai in three or two clicks, and Li Gang had no reason to refuse, "Okay, Xiaohai, you win, I will allow you to join the hunting team and gather at the head of the village tomorrow morning." ”

Li Hai was able to defeat Li Shan, which made Li Gang feel a little complicated, and Li Hai was able to defeat Li Shan, which made Li Gang very happy, but now Li Hai's age is indeed a little young, so Li Gang is inevitably uneasy, but the words have been said, and Li Hai's joining cannot be changed.

"Xiaohai, you are amazing. I'm three years older than you, and I can't even beat you! ”

Although Li Shan lost to Li Hai, who was only ten years old, he was a little embarrassed, but the most important thing in life in the mountains and forests was unity, the more powerful Li Hai was, the better life in Lijia Village would be in the future, and Li Shan was happy for Li Hai in his heart.

"Yes, Xiaohai is amazing!"

"Xiao Hai is only ten years old, so powerful, it seems that we will all have to count on Xiao Hai in the future."

"Xiaohai, we can hunt together tomorrow, it's really not bad to think about it!"

Lehi really won, which surprised the hunting team members on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him.

After chatting with the team members for a while, Li Hai went home early because he was worried about Li Yong's health.

"Dad, how are you feeling today?" As soon as he entered the house, Li Hai walked straight to Li Yong's bedside.

"It's good, it's fine." Li Yong glanced at Li Hai and said indifferently.

Two years ago, Li Yong didn't know why his condition suddenly worsened, his lower body was completely unconscious, and now he can only lie in bed every day.

Li Yong suffered such a big blow and pretended to be so casual, which made Li Hai feel the urge to cry, Li Yong always carried everything by himself, and didn't want his family to worry a little.

Li Haiqiang held back his tears and said, "Dad, the child has passed the test today, and he will be able to set off with everyone tomorrow to hunt." ”

"Good! Good! Good! Ahem...... cough, it's much stronger than my dad back then, Xiaohai is really promising. Li Yong touched Li Hai's face excitedly.

"Daddy." Lehi's eyes were a little red.

"But, Xiaohai, you must be careful! The mountains and forests are not better than your usual training, and accidents will occur if you are not careful. Although Li Yong was very happy for Lehi, he was also worried about Lehi's safety.

"What? Xiaohai, have you joined the hunting team? Li Lan, who walked in from the door, happened to hear the conversation between Li Hai's father and son, and her face turned pale.

"Yes, mother, the child has passed the test of the hunting team today, and tomorrow he can go into the forest to hunt with the hunting team, Xiaohai will definitely be able to hunt back a lot of prey and replenish his father's body." Li Hai drummed the muscles on his hands, wanting to reassure Li Lan.

"But ......" Lehi's actions did not dispel Li Lan's worries.

Hearing what Li Lan was going to say, Li Hai hurriedly said: "Okay, mother, don't worry, the village chief and Uncle Gang have agreed, and it will definitely be fine." ”

"Okay, Lan'er, don't worry, Xiao Hai can enter the hunting team, it is Xiao Hai's ability, I believe Xiao Hai will definitely be fine." Li Yong also helped to talk to him.

"Ugh." As the person who knew the father and son best, Li Lan knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, she could only sigh deeply, praying in her heart that Li Hai would be able to return safely when the time came.

******

The next day.

The sky had just turned white, and the Lehi family was already sitting at the table eating.

Originally, Li Yong was paralyzed and couldn't get out of bed, but today is the day when Li Hai joined the hunting team, which has a special meaning for Li Yong, and he fixed his body with a rope and sat on the table.

"Xiaohai, today is the day of your first hunting, you must be careful, the depths of the forest sea are not as good as the periphery, there are poisonous snakes and beasts in it, you must be careful and careful." Although Li Yong encouraged Li Hai to enter the forest, he was even more worried when the day of Li Hai's departure came.

"Dad, don't worry, Xiaohai will definitely come back safely." Lehi put down the bowl and patted his chest in reassurance.

"Xiaohai, you haven't fought with fierce beasts, if you meet them, you must not be afraid, if you are afraid, you will have no strength." Li Yong recalled something, and looked at Li Hai without knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiaohai, you are hunting for the first time, you must follow your uncle Gang, don't be reckless." Li Lan was so worried that she hadn't even eaten a bite of the steamed bun in her hand.

"Daddy, don't worry, Xiaohai is powerful now, there will definitely be nothing wrong." Seeing that the more his father and mother talked, the more worried he became, Lehi reassured more firmly.

It wasn't until the sun had fully risen that the Lehi family had finished a simple breakfast.

Lehi took the spear in the corner of his clothes, took the Aoki bow on his back, and carried the black iron knife at his waist, and walked towards the training ground.

Lehi, who walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned his head and saw his father and mother who seemed more worried, Lehi showed a smile and promised: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely come back with a lot of prey." ”

Because of Li Yong and Li Lan's worries, they grabbed Li Hai and told him for a long time, and when Li Hai arrived at the practice ground, the hunting team members had already bragged and fart together, and the children who were still training in the training ground secretly glanced at them from time to time, their eyes full of envy.

"Haha, the little genius of our village is here!" As soon as he walked into the practice range, Lehi heard someone greet him again, and quickly walked there with a smile.

"Xiaohai, you are now a genius in our village, you are only ten years old, I am not your opponent, but I will definitely surpass you." Seeing Lehi coming, Li Shan immediately jumped to Lehi's side.

"Xiaoshan, you think too much, I think Xiaohai will definitely become our headhunter in the future." The hunter on the side also joined in the chat.

"Hmph." Li Shan was very unconvinced, "It's still early, it's not certain who will become a headhunter." ”

Lehi stood aside with a smile and watched quietly as everyone did not speak.

At this time, Li Gang, who had finished counting the number of people, walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone is ready, ready to go." ”

This time, the hunting party and Lehi went to a total of twenty-three people, leaving more than ten young men to guard the village, and the rest had already arrived.

The hunters carried black iron knives and spears in their waists, and only three of them carried green wood bows in their hands, sorted them out, and walked towards the mountains and forests.

Li Gang took a few steps back, walked to Li Hai's side and said, "Xiao Hai, this is your first time participating in hunting, and you should focus on learning. Listen more, watch more, learn more, got it? ”

"Yes." Lehi nodded.

"Get in the middle of the line."

After Li Gang finished speaking, he walked to the first one and began to lead the way, and Li Hai also obediently walked to the middle and walked together with the three archers.

"Stop."

Not long after entering the mountain forest, Li Gang, who was at the forefront of the line, raised his right hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

"There is wild boar manure here, it has not dried yet, there should be wild boars around. Li Zhou, go take a look. Li Gang turned his head and whispered behind him.

Li Zhou, who was just behind Li Gang, immediately bent down and cautiously lurked in the mountains and forests.

After a while, Li Zhou, who was excited, bent over and came back.

"Boss, there's a wild boar three hundred meters to the left."

"Archer, Xiaohai, you find your own position to lurk, and see my command shooting. The rest of you, come with me and outflank me. Li Gang gave an order in a low voice.

As soon as they received Li Gang's instructions, they immediately dispersed in an orderly manner.

Although it was the first time Lehi had participated in the hunt, he also bent over and lurked towards what he thought was the best position.

Lehi, who had climbed on his stomach for a distance, saw a wild boar grazing with his head down, and quickly stopped, not daring to move forward.

The senses of herbivores are relatively developed, and Lehi is afraid that he will get too close and disturb the wild boar, and the encirclement that has not yet been formed cannot stop a wild boar who is bent on escaping.

Lehi waited for a moment to see that the boar was not responding, and then began to move cautiously to the side again.

When he moved to the back of the boar, Lehi raised two fingers and signaled to Li Gang that he was ready.

Seeing that everyone had returned to their positions, Li Gang raised three fingers and began to signal.

"Huh."

Lehi drew his bow and aim, and as Li Gang's last finger fell, Lehi's arrow shot out at once.

At the same time that Lehi shot out, three more arrows were fired at the boar from different directions.

"Poof, poof, poof, poof."

The wild boar, which was grazing, was unguarded and was shot into it by four arrows at the same time.

Although it was shot, the wild boar was born with thick skin, and when it was far away, it did not fall, but went berserk, spread its hooves and rushed out.

The others, who had already laid an ambush, were not afraid to raise their spears, and met the boar.

When a wild boar is injured, it will be completely irritable and irrational, and when it sees someone coming out, it will rush over even more frantically with its fangs.

"Bell."

Li Gang rushed to the first one without giving in, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he withstood the impact of the wild boar with brute force.

The people who came afterwards kept stabbing the boar like raindrops of spears in their hands.

"Boom."

It took forty or fifty stabs before the huge boar finally fell to the ground.

"We're lucky this time, we just hit a wild boar in a while."

"It's off to a good start, it looks like we're going to have a bumper harvest this time."

"Yes, yes, we have only been in the forest for a short time, and we have encountered such a big wild boar, it seems that these guys have been growing well recently."

Because not long after entering the forest, they hit a prey, and the hunters seemed quite happy.

Li Da Monkey, who was cleaning up the wild boar, suddenly found that an arrow was inserted in the chrysanthemum of the wild boar, and the arrow body was completely submerged into the wild boar's body, leaving only a little arrow tail outside, until he took a breath of cool air, pointed to the pig's butt and shouted in surprise: "Yo! Who shot this, it's so heavy, it hurts me to see it. ”

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with the monkey?"

"Suck."

Because of Li Dahou's surprise, everyone ran to the side of the wild boar to take a closer look, only to find that there was an arrow in the wild boar's chrysanthemum, and suddenly felt that the chrysanthemum was cold, and they all gasped.

"It's me." Lehi lowered his head in embarrassment and pinched the corners of his clothes.

The location of the wild boar's chrysanthemum was carefully selected by Li Hai, after all, it was too far away, and the wild boar's skin was too thick, so the effect of shooting other parts was not as good as shooting chrysanthemums.

"Xiaohai, well done!" Li Gang, who gasped, walked over and patted the shy Li Hai, the expression on his face was very exciting.

Li Gang's words made Li Hai even more shy, and his face was buried even lower.
