27. Dummies borrow arrows

The batches of figures are not real people, but dummies designed by Tian Taohua.

In order to get the arrows, after Tian Taohua sent away the Khitan soldier, he began to prepare, first asking Xiao Tao to summon more than a dozen imps, and these dozen imps went to the mountains to collect some grass and branches back.

Li Danian asked puzzledly: "It's not to find a way to get arrows, what use do you want these things?" ”

Tian Taohua smiled mysteriously, "Of course it's useful, you'll know when the time comes." Tian Taohua asked Xiao Tao to find some paper and pen and design them on the paper.

Li Danian was a little unhappy, watching Xiao Tao sit aside and laugh secretly, obviously laughing at his ignorance. He said angrily: "Xiao Tao, if you don't eat, your sister Tian and I want to eat, you have nothing to do, how about getting us some food?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'll come when I go." Xiao Tao was about to leave, Tian Taohua heard the conversation between the two and took her eyes off the pen and paper.

Tian Taohua said to Xiao Tao: "We haven't eaten lunch yet, it must be that Brother Da Nian is hungry." ”

"Don't worry, it won't take an hour for me to get you some food." After Xiao Tao finished speaking, the sound of "whew" disappeared.

By this time, the imps had brought the grass and branches to the cave, and had leaned against the walls of the cave more than a foot high. These little ghosts still had to go out, but they were stopped by Tian Taohua, "These grass and branches are enough for us, you don't have to go." ”

These little ghosts are not idle, they climb around in the cave, they make noise with each other, and the whole cave is messed up.

Li Danian sat on the side and closed his eyes and covered his ears, only Tian Taohua felt funny when he looked at these little ghosts, but felt that he would have to overturn the cave if he went on like this. Tian Taohua revised the sketch on the paper a few times, and thought it was not bad, so he handed the sketch into the hands of a ghost.

Tian Taohua picked up a stone and knocked it on the ground, and the sound of the stone knocking stopped these little ghosts.

Tian Taohua said to these little ghosts: "These are the drafts of my dummies, you can do it according to my requirements on this drawing, and make dozens of dummies when it gets dark." ”

"Good!" "Good!" The imps responded to the requirements, according to the requirements on the drawing, cutting branches for those who cut branches, cutting grass for mowing grass, looking for ropes for ropes, and a dummy was made by them. Tian Taohua looked at it, their workmanship was meticulous, if you don't pay attention to it, you are completely a complete person.

Tian Taohua couldn't stop praising these little ghosts, "Okay, you guys are doing well, just continue to do it like this!" ”

These imps have never been praised, and when Jingtian Taohua said this, these imps did even happier.

At this moment, Xiao Tao rushed back with food. He put the paper bag on the nose of Li Danian, who was napping, and Li Danian immediately came to his senses, and his mouth was noisy, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!" Stretched out his hand to take the bag of food from Xiao Tao's hand, opened it and looked at it, "Heh, this food is quite a lot, two roast chickens, six steamed buns." Li Danian shouted happily and sent Tian Taohua over.

Xiao Tao ran to the side and went to work with those little ghosts.

Tian Taohua looked at Li Danian's happy appearance, and she was also very happy, ripped off a chicken leg and gnawed it beautifully. Xiao Tao ran over again, took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, and said to Tian Taohua, "I forgot just now, I also brought you a bottle of wine." ”

"Oh, this is good wine." Xiao Tao took out two more wine cups and handed them to Tian Taohua. Tian Taohua gave Li Danian one, poured it full of wine, and said to Li Danian: "Today we can only drink less, and when we get the arrow, we will drink again to celebrate." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Li Danian saw the dummies all over the ground, understood Tian Taohua's intention to engage in grass and branches, and knew that the opportunity to get arrows would come.

At night, Tian Taohua took Li Danian and Xiao Tao to the woods. Tian Taohua asked Xiao Tao to catch a few pheasants, and released them twice, disrupting the normal operation of the Khitan military camp, and when it was almost the fifth watch, Tian Taohua ordered Xiao Tao's imps to bring the dummy to the outside of the Khitan military camp, so that the bows and arrows in the Khitan military camp were full of dummies.

They collected the arrows, borrowed Xiao Tao's fan, and returned to the peach blossom village.
