Volume 1 The Guest Star Comes to the East Chapter 34 From the Soil (2)
After lunch, the rebel soldiers collapsed in their tents and leaned against the trees, enjoying a comfortable nap.
In the center of the camp there was an open space for drilling, with rattan armor and rattan shields hanging on the edges, and various weapons on display. There were ten targets standing side by side at one end of the clearing, and they were full of arrowsβperhaps the personnel in charge were lazy, and they had not been pulled out yet.
On the other side of the target, Yang Huanfeng held Ouwa's shoulders and borrowed some strength from him to help him pull away the yew bow that was comparable to his length.
In that whole row of weapons, this bow was taken by Ouwa herself. The boy is in the barracks, and it is inevitable that he will be interested in this thing of dancing knives and guns.
Ouwa's swarthy arms were powerful for a child of his age, but it was not enough to pull out the longbow used by the young soldier.
The slightly bulging muscles of his arms trembled, and the bowstring was only bent back a little, almost flat.
At this time, Yang Huanfeng's fingertips pulled out a trace of milky white qi line, and the qi line squirmed and squirmed, slowly wrapping the bowstring.
Yang Huanfeng raised the hand on Ouwa's shoulder a little, and gently hooked his free index finger. Ouwa's hideous face was in a trance for a moment, and then as if he had found a way, he gritted his teeth with determination, and actually pulled the longbow that was about to reach his height.
That wisp of qi still connected Yang Huanfeng's fingertips and the bowstring of the longbow, carefully maintaining the status quo - one more point, one less point, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
"Now, aim at the bull's-eye of the target directly in front of you. β
Even with his help, Ouwa's bow figure was still a little shaky, "It's stable." He reminded.
"Don't look at it for too long, your arms will get tired, and you will only get more and more shaky and inaccurate in the future. β
"Children don't have to be so heavy, the first shot missed, I don't laugh at you, okay?"
β......β
Swish!
Yang Huanfeng chattered endlessly, and the fingers of the Ou Wa arrows were loosened, and the feather arrows galloped out.
Sincere!
Three zhang away, an arrow hit the bull's-eye.
Although there were many arrows on the target, there was only one one in the bull's-eye. Yang Huanfeng spread his hand incredulously, and rushed to the target in a few steps-
Because of the lack of strength, the cluster of arrows had not completely submerged into the bull's-eye, and fell to the ground at the slightest touch. But it is true, even from the remaining arrow marks, the middle of this arrow is also the center of the target.
"This kid ......" Yang Huanfeng turned his head and saw that Ouwa was pretending to be stupid scratching her head, showing her big white teeth and smiling, at this time, she was afraid that she was very proud.
"It's just an arrow, Lord Martial Saint, you're a proud fart!" Yang Huanfeng didn't look like an adult, remembering that he hadn't shot the bullseye once when he was closer, he put his airway at the gull baby.
"The arrow is right behind you, will you try another one?"
Without my help, you won't even be able to pull your bow. He thought to himself without grace.
At this time, Ouwa's parents came out of their tent and saw Ouwa grimacing at the young military master, drawing a bow and arrows to shoot. Yang Huanfeng is in the same direction as the target, and this situation is really misleading.
To this day, some of the fishermen who lived with the rebels had already bought new sampans and nets, and hauled them to the sea early. It is a matter of time for General Zhao to have a conscience, and this army with knives and guns is gone, and the people of Shishui Town are not rich people who are willing to give, so how can there be such a food and residence that does not need money.
In the final analysis, if the rebel army had not camped in the village in the first place, the fishermen would have had their own hands to earn a living and a house to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and they would not have to send people under the fence as they do now, for fear that one day the army would leave, they would be driven out by the people of the town and live a life of eating and sleeping in the open.
Ouwa's parents are the most unlucky, when the fire burned that day, they were at sea, and they saw from a distance that the home seemed to be on fire, and hurried back, and the husband and wife worked together to only carry the rescued burly man out, and the house had collapsed when he turned around.
It's really a good person who doesn't have a good report, and other people rushed to grab some coils of soft wrapping before the house burned down, but only his family snatched out a paralyzed person.
So when other families relied on these entanglements to make a living, Ouwa's father and mother had to nest in the camp, thinking about whether they could find some work in the town later.
The couple, who were worried about their livelihood, couldn't sleep, so they walked out of the tent and walked around the central training ground. When they happened to encounter this scene, the couple was horrified.
"Put it down, gulls!" cried the fisherwoman reproachfully, and although she did not know the young man in front of her, she recognized his military uniform.
Yang Huanfeng smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with my little brother." He waved his hand and walked this way.
The fisherwoman also smiled stiffly, and admitted: "The little cub is not sensible, and he has caused trouble for the military master." β
Yang Huanfeng walked behind Ouwa and put a hand on his shoulder, "Where, sister-in-law, don't worry about it, children are vibrant, I love to play with them." β
At this time, the fisherman also approached and looked at Cai Huan's tent not far away, and he asked Ouwa to go there to see the situation of the two.
"Brother and Miss Cai are acquaintances?" he asked.
Yang Huanfeng was unexpectedly stunned, then shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, it would be good, I have dedicated all my courtesy, and I don't see her say one more word to me." He made a complaining tone, as if Cai Huan was really the Yiren he had been thinking about for a long time.
The couple looked at each other and smiled as if they understood something, but they were happy to pull the red thread, "I rescued Miss Cai and her companion from the sea, a girl's family, and the accent is not local, the wind and rain come and go, it is inevitable that the experience will be cold......" The fisherman put on a sad face and explained for him.
Yang Huanfeng also smacked his lips regretfully when he heard this, "Yes, it's not easy to see her, so I can't help but help her." He sighed half-truthfully.
Good young man, really good young man, the fisherman still wanted to talk more with this kind sergeant, but his mind was empty, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
"Brother, how old are you this year?" said the woman, much faster.
"Twenty-eight years old, what. β
"It's nothing, it's nothing," the fisherwoman hurriedly laughed, "I think Miss Cai is only in her early twenties, and you two are facing each other......
Guessing that Yang Huanfeng was a military master who was easy to talk to, or that women were born to talk about these romantic things, the fisherwoman opened the conversation box, and she didn't see Fang Cai's restrained words at all.
The gossip ranged from children's affairs to anecdotes, from neighborhood relations to family livelihoods, the village was gone, the husband was a wooden man with a slower head than his mouth, and the fisherwoman completely regarded Yang Huanfeng as a sister and grandmother on the streets, and the gossip that had been held for a few days was poured out.
In the quiet afternoon training ground, three people and one small four people stood together, the fisherman and the gull baby were boredly kicking the mud on the ground, and the fisherwoman's mouth was too fast for the father and son to interject a word.
Yang Huanfeng on the side didn't feel bored, on the contrary, he liked this kind of market gas the most. On weekdays, he is accustomed to seeing pretending to be profound Taoists and bitter generals, and this kind of market atmosphere makes him the most comfortable.
It's just that there are no clouds on this day, and it's just past noon, and even though it's not summer, such a day can't be avoided. I really felt that the armor was soaked with sweat, and Yang Huanfeng scratched his face, revealing a look of embarrassment......
"Sister-in-law...... Why don't we change places......"
Yang Huanfeng didn't blurt out a word, and the fisherwoman opposite suddenly squeezed his eyebrows, making him embarrassed and puzzled.
The fisherman on the side raised his chin behind him, and his bored face suddenly became interested.
Yang Huanfeng turned around in the direction he pointed, and it turned out that it was Cai Huan who came out of the camp tent and walked towards the neighborhood.
"Brother Yang, come on. The gull baby below tugged at his arm, blinked with one eye, and gave him a thumbs up to cheer him on.
This family is really warm-hearted.
Yang Huanfeng smiled helplessly in his heart, but his face was a useful nod "um".
Although this Cai girl is not everywhere, but thinking about these pair of icy eyes, he only turns into autumn waves for himself, and thinks about this dexterous and powerful body, and the bird curls up in his arms every day...... No matter how cold the ass is, as long as this face is hot enough and hard enough, there will be no day when it will not turn into water.
Cai Huan, who approached, first saluted the fisherman and fisherwoman, and Yang Huanfeng only glanced at each other, and there was no more courtesy.
For her, this is just the difference between being gracious and unreceiving, but it was interpreted by the fisherwoman as the shyness of a Huaichun woman, and she looked at Yang Huanfeng with a strong look, and the smile seemed to say: "There is a play, come on!"
Yang Huanfeng himself was much calmer, and the frosty woman in front of him was far from overcome. He had seen such strong women with a mission in their hearts, and he said unkindly that when their ideals were shattered, it was best for stinky men to take advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, Yang Huanfeng is not such an unkind stinky man, he thinks that for such a woman with a mission, if there is a powerful, capable and attractive partner, it is not impossible to win her heart.
So, when the girl was finally willing to come out of the tent, what did she ask of her right-hand and charming companion?
"Big brother and sister-in-law, do you know where there is a boat going to Fandong?" Cai Huan asked the fisherman and fisherwoman.
The couple was obviously a little puzzled, they really didn't expect Miss Cai to come out of the tent, and finally took the initiative to join the conversation, and it turned out to be this what they wanted to ask.
The fisherman pondered for a moment, and replied with a sad face: "Miss Cai, don't talk about Fandong, few people dare to run the route from Shishijin to Shizhou Changxing Port, and there is a slight change in the situation, and the terrible fog comes to the west, not to mention the goods transported, even the people are ......."
β...... The strange fog had drifted westward the other day...... "The fisherman hesitated as if he had thought of something," said the fisherman...... Girl, that's when you escaped?"
Cai Huan replied with a low "um", and then explained: "I still have a few companions who have not followed after that, I think they are ...... If it is still there, it should probably be taken back to Fandong by pirates. β
Now that Dongzi's injury has stabilized, although it may not get better, at least it will not continue to deteriorate. Besides, there are bigger hospitals in the town, and she doesn't need to take care of them all the time.
Qi Zuo envoy...... Cai Zhao, now they need me more.
"If the girl doesn't dislike ......," Yang Huanfeng realized that his opportunity had come.
He looked at Cai Huan with a sincere face, and he looked enthusiastic, "I have a small amount of savings in the bottom, and it should be more than enough to pack a sloop, just wait for the end of this alley to be sealed...... It won't be long before I'll leave with the girl......"
β...... Presumably, the little trick that will be performed on the next day, the girl will also come in handy by breaking into the pirate camp. β
