Chapter 285: Sail and Shoot Fish
In the next two weeks, Ju An was annoyed by this matter, until the judge sent the two abductors to prison, which was idle, and the story of the wolves saving the children also spread in the town, everyone was concerned about the wolves on the mountain, from time to time someone went to the mountain to see the wolves, and no one was hurt to observe the wolves with a camera, as long as they were not too close to the wolves, the wolves basically ignored the people who stood far away with the camera, so that the reputation of the wolves was getting louder and louder in the nearby towns, Nearby people even threw meat from the scraps into the mountains and waited for the wolves to come and eat them.
The first thing Ju An did when he was idle was to decide to choose a bow with a heavier pull, and strive to at least mix it up and down when he competed next year, if he didn't move at every turn, it would be a shame to be at the bottom.
This time Ju An directly picked a metal recurve bow in the outdoor goods store, the weight of the pull was fifty pounds, and I tried to pull it at that time, and the whole black bow body shining with metal light was also in line with Ju'an's aesthetic appetite, in order to minimize the number of times he picked up arrows, this time Ju An directly bought three dozen carbon arrows, and also brought a quiver, so that you can put the arrows into the quiver and carry it on your back, and you can draw it directly when you use it, and the whole set of equipment was brought down and cost Ju An almost two thousand dollars, In the end, the supply store also gave Ju An an arrow target with a pampas and grass tie.
When he got the bow and arrived at home, he happily entered the house, and saw his mother and sister watching a few little leather monkeys play under the porch, so he waved the bow in his hand and said, "Look! I bought a new bow, it looks good, right? βγ
The old mother looked at the bow in Ju'an's hand and said, "How much did this fever cost?" βγ
Juan patted his quiver and replied, "Nearly two thousand dollars in total."
After hearing this, my mother smashed her mouth and said: "More than 10,000 yuan to buy a bow, you can really toss, you can buy two buffaloes in your hometown."
Ju An listened to his mother's words and said with a smile: "My bow is heavier, more than forty pounds of tensile force, forget it, I will go to the backyard to practice."
When I entered the room, I met Dinah with a tray. Following Dinah's gesture, Dinah put down the tray and picked up the bow in Ju'an's hand and tried to pull it: "This bow pull is relatively heavy, and it is estimated that it is suitable for you."
After kissing Dinah on the cheek, Ju An took the bow from Dinah's hand: "I'm going to practice, why didn't you watch the children at the door with your mother and sister, this is going to practice?" βγ
Dinah nodded: "I just came in to bring my mother and sister two cups of tea, and I will go upstairs to practice the piano when I send them." After saying that, he picked up the tray on the coffee table and walked towards the door.
Ju An put the box of the bow in the living room, put the quiver behind his back, and went out of the house with the bow in his hand, and said to the three of them: "I went to the back of the house to practice archery." At a glance, he saw that the tiger head was lying at the feet of his mother, sticking out his tongue and panting for breath idly, Ju An had an idea in his mind and snapped his fingers at the tiger head: "The tiger head will follow me."
The tiger head heard Ju'an's voice, happily wagged his tail and followed Ju'an, and his mother also stood up at this time and said: "It's very good to see San'er's dress, I'll also go and see how San'er's arrow shoots, you watch the children here, I'll come to see it."
Ju Rao nodded: "Then mom, go and play with San'er, I'll just watch it here."
As soon as he heard his mother say this, Ju An slowed down, waited for his mother to follow, and walked towards the back of the house together. When he arrived at the back of the house, Ju'an hung the arrow target on the trunk of the tree, walked back a dozen paces, raised his hand and took an arrow from the quiver at his shoulder and put it on the bowstring, and with a whoosh the arrow came out of the string and nailed to the edge of the target.
Then he shot all the arrows in the quiver, most of them hit the target, and a few flew directly out of the distance. Ju An shook the arrow in his hand and shouted at the tiger head: "Go and get me back the arrow that flew away," and the tiger head wagged his tail and ran out after hearing it. Ju An also walked towards the target, pulled the arrow from it, and put it in the quiver behind him.
Walking next to his mother, the tiger head found the first arrow that flew away, and sent it back to Ju An in his mouth, and actually took the arrow and touched it on the tiger's head, and the tiger head happily went back to find the arrow.
As soon as he wanted to draw the bow, he was stopped by the old mother on the side: "When the tiger head finds all the arrows back, you are shooting, what can you do if you shoot the tiger head" After speaking, he sighed and looked at the equipment of the safe body: "It's really more than 10,000 yuan in vain, you practice slowly, I'll watch my grandson" shook his head and turned around.
Ju An shouted at his mother in a cold sweat: "Mom, you can't encourage it, what you say hurts your self-esteem."
Mom waved her hand without looking back: "You shot this arrow, and you spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a line, and told your father to go directly to your hometown to find a bamboo and skim it on the fire, so you can just pull it up with the rope."
"I'm shooting arrows, not playing cotton," Ju An said loudly with a smile.
Mom continued: "You really might as well play cotton."
Seeing his mother's figure disappear behind the tree, Ju An didn't pull the bow, honestly waited for the tiger head to find all the arrows that flew out, squatted at his feet, and then pulled the bow again.
Shot the quiver three times, Ju An's hand was a little sour, and he commanded the tiger head to pick up the arrow again, and walked towards the arrow target with his feet, at this time the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and he took it out of his pocket and saw that it was Thornton.
βhelloοΌ Ann is you, I'm Thornton, are you busy now? Thornton's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ju An laughed twice: "It's me, is there something wrong?" I'm not busy right now, I'm practicing archery in the back of my house, the recurve bow I just bought."
Thornton continued: "Taylor asked me to call and ask if you have time tomorrow, Taylor and I are going to go fishing in the river tomorrow, do you want to go together".
After hearing this, Ju An said, "Go to the river to drive a boat to fish? Why go to the river just by the lake on the edge of the town."
"The lake boats in the town are not very enjoyable, so if you don't have anything to do, you can go with you, and then you can take your bow and arrow and shoot fish in the river, and make sure you have a good time," said Thornton. It seemed that Taylor was also beside him, saying something to Thornton, but Juan didn't hear it clearly.
"Shoot fish?" Ju An smashed his mouth twice: "I haven't even practiced the arrow target yet, and I still have to shoot the fish in the water?" It's too far ahead of its time."
Thornton laughed twice and explained, "Fish are not in the water, and it is interesting for fish to jump out of the water and wait to jump out of the water."
"Jumping out of the water?" Ju An immediately became curious: "What kind of fish is so good that it can jump out of the water."
Thornton replied: "These fish come from China, they are called Asian carp, and they can jump out of the water a meter or two high, and you will know when you go, how do you want to go and see it?"
After listening to Thornton's words, Ju An was curious: "That's okay! When will we leave tomorrow and where will we meet? Prepare something".
"Tomorrow you don't have to drive, we'll pick you up at your house at eight o'clock, and then the three of us will just drive a car together, just bring your bow and arrows, and if you can, prepare some beer or something, and don't bring anything else, and we'll be back in the evening, and we'll just eat the grilled fish at noon," Thornton replied.
"That's good! I'll bring two beers, and I'll be waiting for you at the ranch tomorrow morning, and you don't have to drive into the ranch," Juan said with a smile.
"Then it's decided, don't forget to be at the door of your ranch at eight o'clock in the morning"
"I can't forget it, I'll see you then," Ju An said with a smile.
The arrows were retrieved, Ju An took the arrow target and went back to the house, the mother had returned to the house to cook at this time, only the sister sat under the porch and drank tea while watching a few children play with Teddy, in the end the children are interested in everything, the five little babies are chasing each other in the yard and running blindly to play hehe, a string of laughter came out of the mouth, and the whole house was in front of a joyful atmosphere.
When he entered the house, he said to his mother and Dinah, who were cooking, "Don't look at the children in the future, where can anyone in this ranch take them away silently."
Mom shook her head: "Look at the point I feel steady, your brother and sister-in-law handed over Ran Ran to us to bring, if there are three long and two short, it will be really fatal, your father is an old thing, he follows the cowboys to herd cattle all day and night, and the family affairs are gone, how many times has he told him to stay at home and watch the grandchildren, and he immediately slipped out of bed in the morning."
Ju An listened and comforted: "You are overly worried, my tens of thousands of acres of pasture is a crutch that has to walk a long way when it comes, and the places around it are all railings, do the crutches walk in on two legs?" βγ
After hearing this, Dinah laughed: "Ann, don't say it, let your mother watch it a little, if she wasn't always worried."
Ju An listened to Dinah's words and nodded: "Forget it, you can watch it if you want, by the way, tomorrow morning I will follow Thornton and Taylor to the river to drive a boat to fish, and I won't come back at noon to tell you."
"Whose ship? It's not close to the river, where you can sail, and it's almost an hour's drive," Dinah asked.
Ju An was stunned when he heard this: "So far? These two old men really have the energy to run so far to drive the boat! I didn't ask whose boat it was, I guess I borrowed it from someone else on the river, and said that I could shoot fish with a bow and arrow on the boat."
After hearing this, Dinah smiled and said: "There are basically no people living by the river, where can I borrow a boat, it is estimated that tomorrow they will drag their own boat, as for shooting fish on the water, it is true, as soon as the boat is open in the river, as soon as the water is stirred, many fish will jump out of the water and shoot fish, but you should bring more arrows on your head."
Ju An listened and nodded: "It just so happens that I'll go tomorrow to see what fish can jump out of the water for a meter or two."
