Chapter 82: Prepare for War
One. There are no words in the night.
The next morning, Yun Jingning listened to the knock of the door next door, listened to the slight footsteps and walked through the yard to the kitchen, but he turned over and fell asleep again.
But he didn't sleep for long, so he woke up the two brothers in the courtyard practicing boxing, opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, but still got up.
Seeing him come out of the house, Lin Jie immediately greeted him with a smile: "Third Brother Yun is early!" ”
"I won't go up the mountain today, won't Third Brother Yun sleep for a while?" Lin Can also looked at the people who came over with concern.
"No, today...... There is something to do. Yun Jingning wanted to say that he would practice boxing today, but he changed his mind when he changed his mind.
Accompany the brothers to practice boxing here, it is better to go to the kitchen to talk to the fierce girl and have a relationship.
After all, he performed well yesterday, and he will perform well today, trying to make the fierce girl stare at him a few times.
Yun Jingning's mind turned, and he walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Lin Yanniang was adding firewood to the stove, and when she saw him come in, she immediately turned her eyes and ignored him.
"It seems to be a little fragrant." Yun Jingning saw that she ignored herself, and spoke without words.
There is indeed steam spilling from the steamer on the stove, and there is a mist around the stove in the kitchen, but the thick noodles are fragrant.
He had never eaten such a rough and simple meal a few times before, no matter how hard he had been, but now he ate without complaint, because she was eating too.
She eats, and he eats.
Seeing that she still ignored herself, Yun Jingning felt bored, so she went to wash herself, and when he entered the kitchen again, Lin Yanniang was no longer in the kitchen.
It's just that it doesn't take long to know where she is.
In the courtyard, Lin Yanniang was fighting with her two younger brothers, Lin Can and Lin Jie got up to attack their sister, but they were still easily dodged by her, and they fought back from time to time.
It's just that seeing that she sometimes slapped Lin Can's head with one palm, and sometimes pushed Lin Jie's little face away with one palm, I knew that she could deal with it easily, and she could recover her strength in time without really hurting her younger brother.
Yun Jingning stood under the eaves and watched for a while, and endured it for a long time before he didn't say that he also wanted to talk.
His eyes flashed, and he avoided the place where the fight was raging, and returned to the house and closed the door.
That way he doesn't have to look, think, or be hungry.
The sky was dark, he didn't light the lamp again, leaned on the kang and remembered things again, until Lin Jie was shouting for breakfast.
Lin Yanniang called Lin Xue up in the first room, helped her get dressed, and let her go to the kitchen to wash.
As soon as Lin Yanniang walked out of the house, the door of the next room opened again, and their eyes met.
Yun Jingning suddenly grinned.
“…… Foolish. Lin Yanniang's expression froze, and she suddenly muttered, and walked quickly across the courtyard to the kitchen.
Breakfast was made by Lin Yanniang, and finally it was not a round nest, and there were more wheat noodles, and it was a steamed bun with two noodles.
And it's not just steamed buns, there is also a pickle, half a pot of egg soup, and the soup also exudes the fragrance of shallots.
Yun Jingning's breakfast at the Lin family these days is okay, and he has eaten egg soup a few times.
But Lin Yanniang went up the mountain to hunt the next day, for convenience and in a hurry, every time she hurriedly wrapped a few nests, took two more in her hands, and ate while walking.
At most, I drank a few sips of cold tea, where did I get a sip of soup to drink?
Today is a good meal for her.
With last night's experience, Yun Jingning naturally blended into this family today, and everyone no longer regarded him as an outsider.
Taking dishes and chopsticks, loading steamed buns, and serving soup, he worked with Lin Can and Lin Jie, and no one saw him.
After breakfast, the sky was brighter again, and Lin Ping'an looked at Yun Jingning.
"Lifting trees is also hard work, you try, you can do it, if you can, don't hold on, don't hurt yourself."
"I know, I have the strength, it's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll pay attention." Yun Jingning hurriedly said, and also explained that he had no problem contributing.
Hearing him think so, thinking that he didn't see anything for a day when he went up the mountain yesterday, Lin Ping'an was relieved.
A man in his twenties, Lin Ping'an didn't treat him as delicate.
Yun Jingning didn't regard himself as a delicate son, he put down the bowl and went to the well to fetch water, and filled the water tank before leaving.
Lin Yanniang had already washed the dishes at this time, cleaned up the kitchen and followed.
Lin Lao Liu also took more than a dozen people to the side of the hillside trees, and everyone decided to cut down the trees first, and then make arrows directly in the mountain forest.
They hired a carpenter, and brought with them arrow-making tools, which were a round cake-shaped iron honeycomb that could be worn three or four pieces, which were connected and locked from the outside, and placed on a thick wooden frame above the ground.
Then the wooden pillar of suitable size and length is placed on the top, and then the wooden hammer is hammered down to drive it into the iron honeycomb like a pile.
After that, the locked discus is unraveled, and a rough shaft will appear, which can then be polished by a carpenter.
The hunters had enough manpower and strength, cutting trees, sawing wood, planing bark, and driving piles......
Because this time it was for war, and what was needed was a thicker and longer arrow, but fortunately, the blacksmith had this tool, so as not to panic.
On the other hand, to build spears, it requires the carpenter to work with all his might.
In a hurry, he invited two carpenters to come and work.
This is to pay for it, in order to save more money, the hunters are also very good, if they don't know how to carpenter, they are eager to snatch the work of planing wood.
Yun Jingning only helped to carry trees, move wooden posts, and stack them in different places with loose arrow poles, and he was also very faithful in his work, and there was no place to be lazy and playful.
The hunters were all from peasant families, and although he came from the customs and his origin was unknown, he worked so seriously, and his heart was recognized, so he treated him very kindly, and did not treat him as an outsider.
Lin Yanniang also wanted to work, but was pushed away by everyone.
"Just keep an eye on the shaft, after all, you're an archer, see if your bow can be used." Lin Lao Liu immediately explained Lin Yanniang's task.
No matter how many arrows are made, they must be used by the archers, and they must be used to the advantage.
Lin Yanniang agreed, and went back to bring the longbow, it was just a rough arrow shaft, and she could also try the feel first.
Seeing that she walked into the distance with the shaft of the arrow, and shot towards the empty forest, everyone's attention immediately turned to her, and they looked at her nervously.
"It's okay, you can make a force." After shooting three arrows in a row, Lin Yanniang tried to shoot three times in a row, and then turned around and said with a serious face.
"Fingers are easy to get tired, so I can have a few opportunities to rest and switch between breaths, and I can connect them."
She clenched her fingers into fists, stretched, and clenched her fists, moving her fingers repeatedly, and twisting her wrist a few more times.
Then continue to take the arrow, so twice, to see her adapt, everyone is also relieved, and their hearts are more excited and excited.
The daughter of the archer Lin Ping'an, who is also the most effective archer in their team, said that she can do it, that is, she can do it.
If you can do it, it means that you have the odds of winning after going up the mountain.
