Chapter 257: Crow's Feather Color (Second Watch)
"This familiar skeleton, not easy to do?" Xu Wendong said in embarrassment, "It's wrapped in flesh and blood outside, and I can't see it!" Raising eyebrows, he looked at her and asked without moving, "How did Miss Tao learn?" He looked at her with humble eyes and earnestly asked for advice.
"This is a human bone ...... we have seen in the Central Plains," Tao Qini looked at him with black and white eyes and said solemnly, explaining the situation in detail, and said embarrassedly at the end, "It's still a little offended, disrespectful to the deceased." ”
It's really hard to say this, Xu Wendong thought for a while and said, "The deceased has a spirit in the sky, there should be a trace of comfort!" ”
"As for strength, a man's strength is not small!" Xu Wendong hurriedly changed the topic and said.
"That ......" Tao Liuyi was just about to speak, but Yao Changsheng stopped him and shook his head at him slightly.
Although Tao Liuyi didn't know why he stopped him, he closed his mouth smartly, and in terms of strength, Nier was much more powerful than a man.
"Let's start with the arrows! This one hurts the most. Xu Wendong looked at her and said seriously.
"Alright then!" Tao Qini responded happily and said, "It's just this dagger and knife for taking arrows, what should I do?" ”
"I'll do that." Xu Wendong looked at her and said with a smile, walked to the center of the lobby and glanced at the people present, "You still have three days of free time, you can go around the city, and you will enter the barracks in three days." Spend more time with your family. He smiled and said, "You guys are busy!" I'm leaving. ”
Everyone watched him leave before turning around and going back to the lobby, Tao Qini looked at them and said, "Did you hear General Xu's words?" There are still three days to arrange for yourself! ”
If they have money in their pockets, they don't dare to spend it indiscriminately, but they all come from a hard life, and they have been nesting in the post house for three days.
Tao Qini saw that they didn't go out, so she simply taught them how to take arrows, and without him, she would have the opportunity to practice more in the future.
Yao Changsheng specially told them the barbs on the arrows, which were very troublesome, and they would tear off the belt meat if they were not careful.

"Big brother, big brother." Xu Wendong knocked on Chu Jiu's door excitedly from the post station.
"It's coming, it's coming." Zhong Yuxiu put down the clothes in his hand, pinned the needle to the clothes, and ran out.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here to open the door." Xu Wendong looked at her in surprise and said.
"Chun Tao, they all went to the front yard to help, aren't they holding a celebration banquet today?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at him panting and smiled, "What are you in a hurry about?" ”
"Where's the big brother?" Xu Wendong looked at her and asked anxiously.
"Lying in the house?" Zhong Yuxiu leaned sideways, "Come in!" I guess it's time to get up and go to the front yard. ”
Xu Wendong hurriedly walked towards the house through her footsteps, Zhong Yuxiu looked at his back and said, "You didn't go to the post station, so excited has something to do with them." ”
"Yes, sister-in-law." Xu Wendong opened the curtain and looked at Chu Jiu, who was already sitting on the bed, and said excitedly, "Big brother, this time we have picked up the baby." ”
Zhong Yuxiu came in and folded the bedding and pressed it behind Chu Jiu so that he could lean more comfortably.
"Are you exaggerating?" Chu Jiu leaned on the futon and looked at him and said funny.
Zhong Yuxiu opened the curtain and walked out of the bedroom, sat on the circle chair and continued to sew clothes.
"Not an exaggeration." Xu Wendong looked at him and said excitedly, "I'll just say one thing, these children all know how to read." ”
"How is this possible, they look like they are from poor families, and they don't know how ......to read and write," Chu Jiu looked at him with wide eyes and said, "It was Yao Changsheng who taught them." ”
"The eldest brother is so smart, what Yao Changsheng taught, they can basically recognize about 3,000 words now." Xu Wendong looked at him and nodded heavily, "But they still have to practice in writing." ”
"Why?" Chu Jiu looked at him suspiciously.
"I didn't have money to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, so I practiced reading on the sand with tree branches." Xu Wendong smacked his tongue and said, "These children are very hardworking, I asked Shopkeeper Li, they can't train in the morning, and they are walking in the room." ”
"Oh!" Chu Jiu looked at him thoughtfully.
"Miss Tao also promised to teach her brother the craft of taking arrows and bones, and even more people, as long as she wants to learn." Xu Wendong looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said.
"That's great, the brothers can be treated in time, and the casualties can be reduced." Chu Jiu said very happily.
"It's just that this bone is not easy to teach?" Xu Wendong said with some regret.
"How do you say that?" Chu Jiu looked at him suspiciously and said.
"What does Miss Tao mean is that you have to understand these bones in this body, and this is covered with flesh and blood? Not to mention understanding, no one can see it completely. Xu Wendong sighed and said, "It's ...... to learn."
"Where did she meet?" Chu Jiu looked at him and asked curiously.
"Speaking of this, there are frozen bones on the road, and they escaped from the Central Plains, and they walked all the way and buried people all the way." Xu Wendong looked at him lightly and said.
"This ......" Chu Jiu looked at him in shock, in disbelief, and finally turned into a sentence, "It's rare to get to this point, it's a kind-hearted person." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Xu Wendong said with emotion, under that kind of despair, he thought he couldn't do it.
"Then let's put this one out first!" Chu Jiu said with a little regret, this really can't be forced.
"Alright, it's almost time, let's go to the front! We can't miss the celebration today. Chu Jiu lifted the futon on his body.
"Big brother, you are injured, you still have to go! Gu Dashuai will be considerate of you. Xu Wendong looked at him and didn't want him to go.
"Today, Dashuai Lu and Dashuai Su will also come, we can't show up." Chu Jiu stood up tremblingly with his hands on the bed and said, "They are also here to test the truth." ”
"Okay, okay, what do you say!" Xu Wendong also knew that he couldn't persuade him, and he also knew that he was right, so he handed him the moon-white arrow sleeves on the hanger.
"Don't, give me the crow's feather color." Chu Jiu looked at him and said.
"Big brother, it's not good for you to wear this color on festive days!" Xu Wendong looked at him and said disapprovingly.
"Just put on a red belt." Chu Jiu looked at him and said.
"I'll do it!" Zhong Yuxiu walked in and looked at the two of them.
"Give it to your sister-in-law!" Xu Wendong put the moon-white arrow sleeve in his hand on the hanger, turned around and opened the curtain and went out, sitting on the chair and waiting.
Zhong Yuxiu opened the wardrobe and took out a dark green almost black arrow sleeve and said, "This color is okay!" I can have the same effect as dark blue. ”
"You know?" Chu Jiu avoided her gaze and said weakly.
Zhong Yuxiu carefully put on his clothes, "Aren't you afraid that the wound will crack and you won't be able to see the color?" He looked at him with distressed eyes.
"Don't worry! On our territory, we'll be fine. Chu Jiu gently pulled her hands and said.
