The next day, the old man and Erzhu pushed the cart and took the wild boar meat to the town to sell. Pork is 20 wen a catty, and wild boar is more expensive 30 wen a catty. The wild boar was sold for a total of 5 taels of silver. The father and son rushed back after receiving the money, and they were busy in the field.

Li Xiao sat next to the field, a grass in his mouth. Watch the crowd cut the rice. Even the fifth brother was picking up the rice ears that fell separately with a bag on the side. Everyone was busy, and she didn't know what to do. Cutting rice, the adults didn't let her, thinking she was young. She doesn't do it when she picks up ears of rice. So I sat under the big tree next to me in a daze.

It was almost noon, she took the initiative to ask to go home to cook, Sanniang looked at her listless, very distressed. Let Siya go back with her to make lunch. Because the farm is busy, the sister-in-law is also harvesting in the field. Lai Di is a good hand in the field, and he is very capable. Brother Lai himself thinks that he is used to doing this, and it doesn't matter.

Li Xiao and Siya went back to cook. Li Xiao found that he couldn't make a fire, and watched the fourth sister make a fire. I found myself not knowing how to heat a meal. Could it be that it is to stir-fry in a pan. It turned out that the fourth sister added water to the pot, put a curtain on it, and then put steamed buns and vegetable rice on top of the curtain.

Li Xiao felt that she really had to learn the work of the farmer's family, and when her sisters got married, she would be the only girl in the family, and who would do these when the time came. Li Xiao thought about it, and the future was dark. She forgot about her sister-in-law.

Li Xiao waited for Siya to finish the meal, and followed Siya to the field, Siya kept urging in front of Siya, Fifth Sister hurry up, everyone should be hungry. The old man and Erzhu also returned, and a few people were talking under the big tree. On the way, the old man gave Erzhu the five taels of silver from selling wild boars, saying that this was made by your girl, and you should keep it yourself. Erzhu thinks that there is no separation now, and he can't ask for this money, so he doesn't agree with anything. In the end, I decided to go back and ask Li Xiao to talk about it.

Lunch was later than usual, and everyone was hungry. When Sanniang saw Siya, she complained: "Why did it take so long, everyone is hungry." Li Xiaoxian stepped forward to explain that it was because she couldn't make a fire and couldn't heat a meal. So all of them had to wait for the fourth sister to do it alone, and it took so long. Then he sat down on the edge of the tree angrily and did not speak.

Yes, Li Xiao is very angry, she is angry with herself, angry that she can't do anything, she is not a 6-year-old child, she has adult memories, but she has never cooked in her previous life, she ate in the cafeteria when she was in sports school, and later ate outside when she played games. I haven't shot an arrow since I came here. I don't know where it is. Suddenly sadness came up from my heart, and I suddenly felt that I was useless. People who cross through either can farm, produce, and do business, or they will see a doctor. There are even more powerful ones, who will fight at home. She can't farm, produce, do business, see a doctor, or fight at home. I can't even cook now.

See the atmosphere freeze. The old man coughed and said, "Eat." Everyone began to eat. Seeing that Wuya didn't move, he shouted: "Wuya, come here, grandpa has something to ask you." Li Xiao came over to do it beside the old man, looked at the old man, and motioned for you to hurry up.

The old man coughed again and said, "I sold the wild boar today, and I sold it for 5 taels of silver," and everyone looked at Li Xiao. Li Xiao looked up at the old man and motioned for it. The old man continued: "This wild boar was beaten by yourself, I want to give the money to your father, your father doesn't want it, saying that there is no separation now, the money is all in the public middle school, we just decided that you only deserve this money." What do you think? ”

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "Take out two taels and return them to my uncle, who overheard my father and mother at that time." It seems that the money that borrowed from my uncle was also borrowed from other places. Now that he has money, he will naturally pay him back first. The old man nodded, and Sanniang's eyes were red when he heard it, how good his children were.

Li Xiao continued: "The remaining 3 taels of silver, I honor my grandparents, I only hope to eliminate my grounding." Then he looked at his grandfather with tears in his eyes and said, "I don't know how to farm, I was in a daze there this morning, I went home to cook at noon, and I dragged my fourth sister back." Just let me go up the mountain. I promise to be safe, and you can see it, the boar is dead, and I don't even have a skin on my body. I run fast, I have a lot of strength, and I can climb trees. Don't live with me. Be gracious, and count me as begging everyone." Then he cried with a whimper, and said in his mouth: "I'm useless, I can't cook, I can't even make a fire, I can't cut wheat, and I'm not even as good as my fifth brother."

Everyone looked at the five girls who were usually smiling and had never cried much since they were children, and the one who sat on the ground and cried was sad. It's all painfully tight. In the end, it was the old lady who spoke: "Wuya, don't cry, grandma's heart is breaking your cry, if you want to go up the mountain, go up the mountain, those things hide and go, don't get hurt." If you get hurt, you won't be allowed to go again. You know? “

Li Xiao listened, thanked his grandmother happily, and then turned to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, can you lend me your bow and arrow?" Grandpa said, "After a while, I'll teach you archery." That's agreeing. Li Xiao was very happy, thanked his grandfather, shouted: "Oh oh oh I have a bow", and then ran away.

Everyone couldn't bear to look at it, and Sanniang said: "Where is this girl, she is more Taoist than a boy, how can she marry someone in the future." The eldest aunt persuaded: "Now she is still young, it would be good when she is older." ”

Li Xiao went home, went to his grandfather's house, took the bow, and went to the small warehouse to get the arrow, and then ran back to his house, found the brightest wall, hung the bow on the wall, and placed the arrow in the corner under the bow. Then he took off his bow, took his satchel, and carried his quiver on his back, and went to the side of the mountain. She didn't go into the mountains this time, she just wanted to find a place where no one was around, try the bow, she hadn't shot for a long time. Then he found a big tree and began to draw his bow and shoot arrows. Her strength was still not enough, and the bow could only be pulled down halfway, and that's it, more than a dozen arrows came down, and her hand was broken. Li Xiao looked at his left hand and smiled stupidly. It feels so good to draw a bow. Then he ran to the tree, and the knife, dug out the arrow, put it back in the quiver, and went home.

For several days, Li Xiaoxiao carried a basket on his back early in the morning, with arrows and a small hoe in the basket, and went out with a bow. After doing your usual workouts, find a place to practice archery.

Soon Li Xiao mastered the skills of the ancient bow, and he shot more and more accurately day by day. After the practice, I walked back and picked wild vegetables. Until the end of the autumn harvest.

One day when the sun was shining, Li Xiao came back from the mountain and saw the old man waiting for her in the yard. Li Xiaofang ran over and asked what was the matter, but the old man said that he would teach him archery. Li Xiao also wanted to see the ancient archery, and when he saw the old man walking out, he hurriedly followed.

They came to the mountain and found a wide place. The old man began to talk about the essentials of archery, and then motioned for Li Xiao to shoot an arrow. Li was careful in his heart, why don't you shoot an arrow for me, just say a few words, just let me shoot, what can I shoot as a child. Li Xiao took out a strip of cloth from the small bag, wrapped it around his hands, and then pulled the bow with his right hand to shoot an arrow, although it was a little off, but it still hit the big tree. The old man was stunned for a moment. Then he coughed twice and said, "Yes, yes, although the accuracy is a little poor, but you think for yourself, it's good to be able to shoot like this." For several days, the old man taught simple hunting techniques. Archery skills. When I went to bed at night, I said to my wife: "The five girls are really smart, they will teach them, if only they were a boy, this arrow is called a quasi." When the old lady heard this, she touched her old man with her arm and said, "Don't say this in front of the second daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law touched her tears a few days ago." said that he saw that the five girls had broken skin, as if they were shot by arrows. I said I had never seen a girl running to the mountains all day long to shoot arrows. She also said that if she let the people in the village know that she had killed a wild boar, who would dare to marry her." The old lady was asleep. The old man frowned when he heard this, thinking that this was a problem.

Li Xiao had already changed into cotton clothes, and asked her mother to make her a pair of gloves with fingers. Li Xiaobao put a dagger in his bag, carried a basket on his back, put arrows in his basket, held a bow in one hand and a wooden gun in the other, and walked into the mountain.
