Chapter 6 Archery Practice
The next day, Lin Mei woke up to the sound of Suo Suo outside the door. She glanced out the window, but it was still dark. Peaches slept soundly, one leg still pressed on Lin Mei's stomach.
Lin Mei got up and gently removed the leg from her stomach, tucked the quilt for Peaches again, and put on the clothes that were placed next to the bed.
Thinking that it was inconvenient to wear a skirt up and down the mountain last time, this was changed from an old skirt last night, with a ginger robe just knee-high, with dark green trousers, and a dark green cloth belt tied at the waist.
Pushing open the door of the main house, Shanzi was already practicing boxing.
Shanzi glanced at the main house and looked away.
Lin Mei went into the kitchen to light a fire and boil water, and then steamed the rest of the nest, and the action was done in one go.
After washing up, he followed Shanzi to practice boxing.
It is said to be practicing boxing, but in fact, it is just repeating a few exercises.
Half an hour later, the sky gradually brightened.
Shanzi took two bows and arrows from the wall, handed one to Lin Mei, and whispered: "Sister, you use my one lightly, and I use my father's one." ”
After speaking, he faced the tree three feet away, mounted the arrow, drew the bow, and shot, and with a bang, the arrow shot at the tree.
There is no arrow target at home, and Lin Mei also practiced archery like this when she was a child.
However, Daddy Lin made a few marks on the tree as a predetermined goal.
Lin Mei learned Shanzi's movements, put on the arrow, drew the bow, and shot, and with a bang, the arrow hit the ground.
Lin Mei continued, but still missed.
Continued, and fell short again.
……
"Sister, or you still don't practice......" Shanzi couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's okay, I believe I can do it, practice makes perfect......"
Loading the arrow and drawing the bow, Lin Mei did not shoot immediately this time, but closed her eyes to find a certain feeling in her memory.
......, the arrow hit the tree, but it didn't hit the target.
"Look, I'll just say I can do it." Lin Mei raised her chin to Shanzi, a little proud.
Shanzi quickly put on the arrow, drew the bow, and shot, the action was quite perfect, and he smiled a little provocatively at Meizi.
Sample, give my sister a little time, and my sister can also practice...... Lin Mei wandered, then thought about it and laughed again, it was really more and more alive to go back, what to worry about with a little kid......
After serving Daddy Lin for breakfast, Lin Mei told Peaches to take good care of the house, and followed Shanzi out of the house.
"Why are you so grinding, I've been waiting for a long time......"
As soon as they entered the forest, they heard someone talking, and when the sisters and brothers heard the voice, they saw Luo Sicheng wearing a red robe and black boots, sitting on a stone, holding an oil-paper leather bag in his left hand and stuffing something in his mouth with his right hand. There was a man in black behind him, also holding an oil-paper leather bag in his right hand, and a water hyacinth in his left hand and handing it to Luo Sicheng.
"Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come, you came here, what if something happens......" Lin Mei frowned.
Luo Sicheng took a sip of water, wiped his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "I take Ah Da with me, he has good martial arts, he will protect my ......"
Lin Mei looked at the man in black named Ah Da, about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, he belonged to the kind that he couldn't find if he threw it into the pile.
Shanzi looked at Lin Mei, and Lin Mei also looked at Shanzi.
After confirming her eyes, Lin Mei knew that she was asking her to make up her mind.
"Okay, it's okay to go up the mountain with us, but you have to listen to my ......" Although I don't know how this Ah Da kung fu is, but there are many people and they are brave, Lin Mei agreed.
Lin Mei asked Shanzi to lead the way, Lin Mei and Luo Sicheng followed, and Ah Da followed.
After walking around the forest for a long time, I checked that the three traps were empty.
Lin Mei saw that it was still early, and after discussing with Shanzi, she decided to go deeper into the forest.
As the weather warms up, animals that have been hungry for a winter are starting to come out in search of food, but it is innate to be alert to danger.
Occasionally, I encountered stupid little animals, and I was scared away by Luo Sicheng's excited shouts.
"Luo Sicheng, you have a heart...... the two sisters and brothers began to regret bringing this person, this is a fool......
"Otherwise, Ah Da, you will take your young master to wait here, and I will go over there with Shanzi to have a look, and in half an hour, we will meet here." Lin Mei pointed to Lin Zidao on the left.
"That can't be done, I'm going to go too, this time I promise not to speak, I can't ......"
"Ah Da, what do you say......" Lin Mei ignored Luo Sicheng and asked Ah Da.
"Miss Lin, I have to listen to the young master, he will go wherever he says, I am only responsible for protecting the young master's safety." A-Avenue.
It's ...... with a fart Lin Mei didn't have a problem with him: "Then say it, you must be obedient this time, and you are not allowed to shout and shout......"
Luo Sicheng covered his mouth and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"I remember that there are many traps over there, you master and servant should be careful, Ah Da take care of your young master......" Lin Mei didn't want to go home empty-handed, so she couldn't help but instruct the two of them again.
The mountains and forests are not easy to walk, Lin Mei used a wooden stick as a crutch, Luo Sicheng saw it, and asked Ah Da to make the Gensen stick for him.
A group of four people began the hunting journey again.
"Shhh......h
I saw Shanzi gently pick up the bow, put on the arrow, pull the bow, and ...... Shot a gray rabbit, and then quickly shot another rabbit with an arrow.
With the two rabbits, Shanzi's face looked much better, and Luo Sicheng was also relieved, I was really afraid that if the sister and brother didn't gain anything, I guess they wouldn't expect to follow next time.
After tossing for most of the day, Lin Mei looked at today's harvest and decided to return.
So a group of four people, two rabbits hung on the waist of the mountain, two pheasants in his hands, Lin Mei also carried two rabbits, Ah Da resisted a dying roe deer on his shoulders, Luo Sicheng held a chicken in his hand, and the group swayed down the mountain again.
When she was about to get down the mountain, Lin Mei chose to let everyone rest by the stream.
"Sicheng, do you think this will work, you can take back the chicken in your hand and the two rabbits in my hand. We'll take the rest back. Lin Mei began to distribute prey, and she couldn't let these two go home empty-handed in vain.
"What's going on, no...... No, we didn't help, these prey were not hunted by Shanzi, or found in the trap you set before, and Ah Da and I didn't help. Luo Sicheng refused without even thinking about it.
"That can't let you run in vain, you listen to me, if Grandma Gu asks, just say that you met me and Shanzi in the village, and we will take you back to honor her old man." Lin Mei thought for a while.
"Still won't work...... I promised my grandmother that I wouldn't come through the woods, and today I lied that I was just going around the village, and that if I went back with a living creature, I wouldn't be able to show my stuffing. Luo Sicheng waved his hand and said.
Luo Sicheng looked at the village not far from the mountain and asked tentatively: "Why don't I help Ah Da and I get these back first, and then let's go to my house together, how about ......?"
It's not that Luo Sicheng covets this thing, it's just that he has grown so big, and it's the first time he has gone up the mountain to hunt, so he wants to leave something as a souvenir.
"......" Shanzi, who had been expressionless, frowned at this time, revealing a very tangled expression.
"I'm not going, sister, I want to take the roe deer to the town while it is still out of breath, send it to Baiwei Building, and sell it for a good price." After Shanzi finished speaking, he got up with the pheasant on the ground and prepared to go down the mountain.
yes, I almost forgot about it. From ancient times to the present, the price of this prey is not the same as that of a dead animal.
Lin Mei thought about it for a while, and said decisively: "Sicheng, let's do it, we've been out for almost a day today, and you also know that my father is still lying at home, I have to rush back to make dinner, you and Ah Da will go to my house to eat, and after a while, Peaches and I will go back with you to see Grandma Gu." ”
didn't ask Luo Sicheng for his intentions, and he originally planned to visit Grandma Gu today, but he just met together.
Because Shanzi was in a hurry to go to the town, the group did not rest again.
When he got home, Shanzi put down his prey, took the roe deer and prepared to leave, but Luo Sicheng asked Ah Da to run with Shanzi. Since it was not far from the town, and the distance was faster enough to catch dinner, Ah Da followed.
