I glanced at the courtyard, and then withdrew my gaze, in fact, I had already considered it carefully in my heart.

I paused, and continued to my aunt: "Auntie, we have to leave today, you took us in for one night, I am very grateful to you." ”

"Auntie, I have something to ask my uncle for a while?"

Now that I've thought about it, I still have to mention it to her.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, and my eyes met her.

"Xiaolin, you say." The eldest lady looked at me and said.

I thought for a moment, pursed my lips, and said, "Auntie, I'm actually a little embarrassed to mention it to you." “

"Xiaolin, it's okay, if you have something to say, just tell your aunt."

"I'm from the south with my eldest brother, and you know that."

"Xiaolin, you kid speak simply, don't babble, Auntie listen carefully!" "Okay, then you listen to me."

While speaking, I paused again to glance at the approaching teenager, and then said in a smooth tone to the eldest lady: "We took a boat for most of the way, and we only changed to the land route when we arrived in Suzhou." ”

"It's almost the first time I've walked in such a remote mountain forest."

Of course, what I said to her was watery, but for the sake of the bow and arrow, I'll just say it for the time being!

Because I want to convince the eldest lady, there must be a good reason to review the previous situation and slowly return to the topic.

I looked at the eldest lady and said sincerely: "Auntie, we didn't bring anything to defend ourselves, that is, we just carried a dagger with us." ”

"Can you please ask Uncle? Do you have any unused bows and arrows at home, give us one? ”

Hearing this, the eldest lady stared at me for a few seconds. After looking down and thinking about it, he still said to me: "I'll ask my old man in a while, there should be one." ”

After the eldest lady finished speaking, her eyes swept over me, and I don't know why I suddenly sighed.

"Auntie, what do you say?" I looked at her and asked in amazement, but she didn't speak. Just shook his head at me gently.

Just as the tsundere boy approached the kitchen and made a gesture of pouring water into the large tank in the corner of the house.

From my point of view, I can clearly see that his movements are very relaxed, and the eldest lady's eyes are also attracted by his figure in an instant. Looking at it, her eyes lit up.

When I met my gaze again, the eldest lady's tone was a little more cheerful: "Xiaolin, I think too much." If you don't. And your big brother! ”

I looked at my aunt in a daze, and suddenly understood what she meant.

"Xiaolin, I'm looking at you" The eldest lady looked at me, and stopped talking.

I blushed a little, and said to her with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Yes, you can also see that my eldest brother has more strength. ”

Well, any stranger can see it! The tsundere boy and I are obviously not in the same rank.

I glanced in the direction of the boy.

Presumably, the eldest lady was worried about whether I could use the bow and arrow, but I saw the tsundere boy. The problem was solved in a second.

To be honest, the tsundere boy is this body. looks like a person who really should be practicing martial arts.

Although the feeling is not clear in a few words, it is very transparent in the eyes of onlookers, and the eyes of the masses are bright!

It's like I'm a master who selects martial arts seedlings, and when I see the type of tsundere boy, I will definitely think that he is a very suitable candidate.

That's all I mean by this feeling!

"Okay, I'll ask later."

This time, the eldest lady agreed to be refreshing!

The eldest lady walked out of the house, and glanced at the young man's back as she crossed the threshold.

Sensing her gaze, the young man frowned when he turned around, looked at the direction where the eldest lady went out, turned his head to look at me and took a step closer to me and asked, "Xiaoling, what were you talking about just now?" ”

It turned out that he wasn't listening at all, and he didn't notice my conversation with my eldest mother just now.

This guy is so attentive with a bucket of water!

I looked at him with some amusement, and then answered: "Young Master, aren't we talking about bows and arrows!" “

"Xiaoling, did you mention it to her?" The boy looked at me and asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, young master, your words have come true," I said with a wink at him, "Lady thinks your body is very suitable for being a hunter, and if I get a bow and arrow, you can try your skills later." ”

After I finished speaking, I looked at the tsundere boy, my eyes did not leave, and I watched his reaction.

"What is the master, it's just a bow and arrow, do you still need to try?"

The young man said in a disdainful tone: "The child of the Yuwen family, which one won't?" ”

The words were full of certainty, and the implication was that I completely underestimated him.

In his opinion, maybe what I said had a feeling of distrusting him, and it was right to think about it, I thought about running away when I first met him, and I did see him shoot in the mountains.

Anyway, a few small branches can still be used handy, let alone a real bow and arrow!

Didn't I learn it again yesterday?

Anyway, the two people tied up in the woods don't know if they are out of trouble at this time?!

I was distracted, and when I heard him say this, I thought about it carefully, and suddenly my heart became happy.

Because if the tsundere boy gets a sharp weapon, it means that the safety factor of our next trip has been improved.

This is, of course, something to be happy about.

I stood by the stove and decided in a second to make more delicious snacks.

"Xiaoling, why are you busy again?"

"Get more food, I'm happy!"

When the eldest lady walked through the courtyard and approached the big house, she saw that her own person had just come out.

She couldn't help but look behind her, and saw that the little brother was busy in the kitchen, and she could vaguely smell the aroma of snacks.

The eldest lady grabbed her own person and re-entered the house, and whispered to him: "I was in the kitchen just now, and I talked to Xiao Lin for a while. “

"What did Xiao Lin tell you?" There was a little curiosity in his tone, and his wife immediately asked.

The eldest lady paused. said to him, "I didn't say much, but the kid from Xiaolin asked me if I had any spare bows and arrows at home?" ”

The eldest lady said in a low voice: "Old man, do you think we should give them to them?" “

His wife looked at her. nodded and said, "Okay, it's also rare, these two children look good." ”

"Don't we still have a few bows I made?"

The old wife paused and continued: "In my opinion, just pick a light one and give it to Xiaolin." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "Okay!" As for Xiaolin's body, which one is suitable for him to carry, I mean let his eldest brother use it. ”

The wife nodded again and said to the eldest lady: "You just have the final say." We don't have a lot of people here all year round, and it's usually deserted. ”

The old wife said in an emotional tone: "If they weren't busy and had to hurry, I would have liked them to stay for two more days." ”

The eldest lady was silent for a moment. answered: "What did you say, a few years ago, my daughter said to let us pass, but you have always refused. ”

"What's there to go to in that place, there's going to be a war recently!" The wife said worriedly.

"My daughter's house is fine. It's still a bit away from the Northland. It's not close at all. ”

The eldest lady comforted him, and then urged: "You go to the firewood room to look for it!" ”

"By the way, Xiao Lin also made dim sum, that kid's craftsmanship is really good."

"It's not ordinary!"

"You don't need to look for it, just hang it on the wall of the firewood room," the wife turned her head to look at the person behind her before she prepared to go out, "or else." I don't have to pick it, I'll have breakfast later. Let that Dalin go and see it directly. ”

"It might be better for him to use his own bow that is handy."

The wife thought about it for a moment and made a more reasonable decision.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time." The eldest lady smiled at her wife

"Xiaoling, when I mentioned it to you earlier, what was your reaction," the young man suddenly recalled, stared at me and said with a smile, "Is it really what she said, or did you come up with your own idea?" ”

"I'm too angry and angry, and I have to happily take the errand over at this time, ghost spirit!"

The boy looked at me and frowned.

"Nonsense, how could I take the initiative to tell my aunt that I want to give you the bow and arrow," I immediately argued, "I originally planned to carry it on my back." ”

"I also want to ask my aunt for a lighter one, in case it's too heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it myself!"

"You can't carry it lightly, just you" The tsundere boy squinted at me and snorted for a second, "It's good to save effort." ”

"Don't underestimate people," I said as I stared at him depressedly, "the big bow may not be able to carry it, but the small one may not be able to carry it." ”

"Ye rarely hears such a division, aren't all the bows and arrows of the mountain people about the same?"

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, the master doesn't care about you, no matter who said it, I understand it in my heart." ”

"I'll compare you to you, that's for sure," the boy didn't have time to finish, because the eldest lady walked in briskly from outside, interrupting our conversation.

"Xiaolin, Dalin, both of you are here!"

When the eldest lady spoke, I couldn't help laughing when I heard her address, and glanced at the tsundere boy, who blushed and glared at me.

"Auntie, did you help ask, what did the uncle say?"

I went up and asked by the arm.

"I've asked, there are unused bows and arrows in the firewood room."

The eldest lady reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said, "The old man said, you can go and see for yourself, which one you think is suitable in your hand, and give it to you!" ”

The eldest lady said extremely cheerfully.

I immediately showed a happy expression, and when I looked back at the tsundere boy, he was much calmer than me, and he didn't have any expression at all.

My aunt and I walked out of the kitchen first, turned around and waved inside.

I made a silent gesture to the tsundere boy, asking him to hurry up.

He stood there for a moment, then finally followed with a straight face.

When the three of them walked into the firewood room one by one, the man of the house was already waiting inside.

The wall was empty, only the nails for hanging the bow were left, but the bow in the uncle's hand, although it looked like it was some years old, but at a glance it showed a fierce temperament.

Yes, for a moment my heart sank, and the moment I saw the bow, I remembered the word!

I shrunk my neck, and suddenly felt a little cold in my back.

Such a large bow, if it were to be used, uh, it would be expected to be very powerful!

The uncle wiped those things in turn, turned his head to look at us waiting by the door, and said with a smile: "Sometimes it's useless, come and see, which one is more convenient." ”

The tsundere boy didn't move at all, his eyes turned to me.

The firewood room is not big, and we have heard what the uncle said clearly, could it be that the guy is distracted again?

I was suspicious in my heart, and I stepped forward and pushed the young man's elbow in surprise, wondering, why didn't he go up, and the male owner of the family opened his mouth!

"Big brother, how are you"

Later, the old couple saw that something was wrong, and looked at us with puzzled eyes.

"You two don't know, my brother has been arguing with me for a long time, saying that he must be holding the bow and arrow this time."

The boy stood there, still standing tall as a pine.

The figure did not move, he looked at the uncle and said calmly: "I can't resist him, so let him pick it first." “

Then, the boy showed a helpless expression.

The eldest lady's eyes showed a knowing look for a second, and she immediately took a step closer and said to me: "Xiaolin, this is your mistake, your eldest brother's body, you can't compare!" ”

The eldest lady also deliberately emphasized: "We have lived in the mountains for a long time, and we can know it at a glance." ”

"Yes, my wife is right, Xiaolin, you can't make it, it's far away!"

I turned my head to look at the boy in annoyance, listening to the uncle and aunt praise him, the corners of that guy's mouth rose higher and higher, how old his heart was, and he was so naïve!

Okay, take a step for the time being, I stepped forward and lowered my head and whispered: "Big brother, it's me who is wrong, you go and pick it." ”

The big husband can bend and stretch, I take a step back and count it as a god!

The young man's expression was indifferent, but the light corners of his mouth betrayed his inner thoughts.

He coughed, stepped forward and took the bow from his uncle's hand, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and later went to change it to another one.

After some selection, the boy chose the one that seemed to me to be the heaviest and the strongest among the bows.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to use this."

The uncle suddenly smiled: "That's right, this is the best one." “

He approached the tsundere boy, patted his shoulder vigorously a few times, and praised: "The young man has vision." ”

I was behind him, listening to them, and I couldn't help but pouted secretly, saying in my heart that guy was really naïve, just to win back a city in words.

Alright, I'll let him do it!

The tsundere boy took the bow, the uncle and aunt came out of the firewood room first, and the two of them walked into the courtyard.

The boy was the last to go, and I was one step ahead of him.

I felt surprised in my heart, it seemed to me that the young man's movements were a little rubbing, could it be that he found something in the firewood room?

So I deliberately paid attention to the teenager behind me!

As a result, I saw him close the door and go to the side of the cabinet to put something on it. (To be continued.) )
