Chapter Ninety-Eight: Self-Willingness

"Baoying, what's wrong?" Feeling her gaze, Zhiyan immediately looked over and asked a little puzzled.

"It's fine." Gu Baoying immediately put away that look and smiled, "Why did you suddenly think about going hunting?" Do you know how to hunt? ”

"No, but that's why you have to follow along." Zhiyan didn't realize that she was a little funny, and her delicate and good-looking facial features replied seriously.

"Okay, so what do you want to hunt? Rabbit? Gu Baoying remembered that the last time he was in the mountains, Zhiyan easily hunted two fat rabbits with just one basket and a few wild vegetables, and immediately retracted his idea that he didn't know how to hunt at all.

Although this man is a little weak, he has a very smart brain.

Maybe then we can really hunt two more fat rabbits without much effort!

"Rabbits are not valuable, I heard Uncle Jiang Zhen say that there is a kind of red fox that haunts the mountains from time to time, and its fur is very valuable." Zhiyan said seriously.

"Fox? Foxes are very clever and cunning, and they are not as gullible as rabbits. No matter what Gu Baoying thought, he felt that he would only hunt in the same way as last time, and he wanted to tease him a little, but he couldn't bear to hit him so early.

"It's okay, I'll follow Uncle Jiang Zhen, I'll definitely be able to hunt." However, Zhiyan is full of confidence.

"Then you really hunted the red fox, will you give it to me?" Gu Baoying continued to tease him.

"You want?" Zhiyan originally wanted to sell the fur of the red fox for money so that he could buy her new clothes, but when he heard it at this time, he looked at her seriously and planned to change his mind at any time.

"Of course, didn't you say that the fur of the red fox is very valuable? That's because its fur is beautiful, and if it is made into a winter coat, it will definitely look good and keep warm. Gu Baoying just said casually.

"Well, I'll definitely hunt the red fox, and when the time comes, I'll give you its fur to make winter clothes!" Zhiyan nodded, but he made a cautious promise.

He looked so serious from beginning to end, which made Gu Baoying a little embarrassed, after all, she didn't believe that he could really hunt the red fox.

But she still smiled and said, "Then I'll wait at home!" ”

When Zhiyan heard this, he also smiled gently at her, thinking in his heart that the winter coat made of red fox's fur must look good and suitable for Baoying to wear.

Because she is like a clever and clever little fox!

Since he had made a promise to Baoying, Zhiyan took the matter of hunting more seriously, and in the afternoon, he left with Jiang Zhen and went to Jiang's house together.

The Jiang family has a bow and arrow that Jiang Zhen usually uses for hunting, and he came with him today, so he wanted to practice it first.

However, Jiang Zhen's arm strength is amazing, the bow and arrow he used, and Zhiyan's weak body were so tired that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't pull the bow full at all.

"That's it, there is a bow made for Jiang Chao's eldest brother at home, his eldest brother has been away from home for many years, this bow and arrow has been idle for a long time, I will go and get it, maybe it will suit you." Jiang Zhen said, so he went to get the bow and gave it to him.

This bow is much lighter, and when it is held in Zhiyan's hand, it is just right for his strength.

He gave it a try and was full of interest: "Jiang Chao still has a big brother?" ”

When Jiang Zhen heard this, he smiled on his face, slightly distracted, and seemed to fall into some kind of memory, but soon smiled and nodded his head: "Yes, but he has been away from home for many years and is wandering outside, this bow was made for him when he was thirteen years old, clamoring to learn to hunt with me, and I made a special trip for him." ”

"Ten, thirteen years old......" Zhiyan heard this, and his handsome face suddenly collapsed with a little excited look.

A little boy thirteen-year-old bow, he is six or seven years older than this age, but he holds it just right, isn't this a little too weak?

"Huh." Jiang Zhen saw his loss, so he patted him on the shoulder gently, "Jiang Chao's eldest brother has greater strength than ordinary people since he was a child, so when he was only thirteen years old, he had to use such a heavy bow, like Jiang Chao, he will be thirteen years old this year, but he still can't pull this bow, about fifteen or sixteen years old, you are weaker, and you are usually negligent in exercising, and it is already very good to be able to pull it open." Come on, I'll start teaching you archery......"

"Hmm." Zhiyan's heart was a little more balanced.

Then, he began to study with Jiang Zhen seriously.

And Jiang Zhen was in the process of teaching, and there was a trace of surprise in his heart.

Zhiyan learns too fast.

With a little pointer, he was able to comprehend it, even as if he could shoot arrows in the first place, but forgot it for a while, and after being reminded by himself, he naturally remembered it again.

"Now, you have no problem shooting stationary objects, and next, to learn to shoot moving objects, I will take these grass balls and throw them in the air, and you will try to shoot them." Gangjin continues to teach.

"On the move? Isn't that hard to do? When Zhiyan heard this, Jun's face showed a little embarrassment.

"No matter what you do, there are skills to follow, that is, these objects moving in the air also have the direction and speed of their movement to observe, which requires you to fully understand their speed and be able to predict their next direction, like prey running back and forth in the mountains, experienced hunters can also easily hunt."

Under Jiang Zhen's patient guidance, Zhiyan quickly mastered the technique after the failure of the first few shots, and easily shot the grass balls thrown in the air one by one.

This made him feel a little excited again: "Uncle Jiang Zhen, you teach so well!" ”

"It's because you have a high level of understanding and learn quickly, according to your current level, as long as you encounter prey tomorrow, you will definitely be able to shoot!" Jiang Zhen said with a smile.

However, in his heart, he was extremely sure that Zhiyan must have been proficient in archery before!

This made him deeply confused.

What is the identity of Zhiyan in the past?

"Hmm......" At this time, Zhiyan suddenly covered his chest in a little pain, and his face was a little pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Zhen hurriedly helped him sit down.

"I'm fine, maybe I've been practicing archery for a long time, and I'm a little tired." Zhiyan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and when the dull pain in his chest passed, he said with a smile, "Uncle Jiang Zhen, I'll go back first, I'll take this bow back and practice again, is it okay?" ”

"I'll give you this bow, but when you go back, you must remember to ask Bao Ying to give you a pulse." Jiang Zhen said generously, and at the same time said worriedly.

"Thanks, I will." Zhiyan said, and got up to say goodbye.

Jiang Zhen escorted him out of the gate and stood in the doorway, watching him away, while staring at the bow he held in his hand in a daze.

Jiang Chao's brother......

"I really can't imagine that now you are not only willing to degenerate to the point that you have to stay in this poor and remote mountain village all the time, to be a small lizheng, but also to marry a blind peasant woman as a wife!" Just as he was out of his mind, a low voice with a slight mockery suddenly sounded from the other side.

"It's you." Jiang Zhen followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing a light brown brocade dark cloud pattern robe, slowly stepping towards him with his hands in his hands.

This man is a few years older than Jiang Zhen, with a mustache and a shrewd and capable momentum between his eyebrows.

At this time, he looked at the tall figure of Zhiyan leaving, and coldly spit out these words to Jiang Zhen: "Fifth brother, more than 20 years have passed, you should also dissipate your anger and go back with me, right?" ”
