Chapter 23: Preparation

"I think there is something wrong with this matter, let's not fight an unprepared battle, this is about to be the New Year, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."

Li stood aside, looking at the big and small with a worried look in his eyes. I heard from the people in the village that this bandit had killed a lot of people, and the scene was still very bloody, although the neighbors and neighbors passed around, it was inevitable that there would be some exaggerated things mixed in it, but it still scared the Li family and couldn't sleep all night.

Besides, now that his own man is also going, this makes Li even more worried. In addition, Li's health was not very good, and the whole person was a lot thinner.

"Mother, this is also helpless, the bandits are getting more and more rampant, we can't bear it anymore.!" Lilac on the side saw her mother hesitating, and she couldn't help but have a headache. Mother's weak and fearful character, when can it be changed?

"You say you're a little girl, adults talk, what are you talking about. It's not good to go out and have fun, think about these crooked ideas!"

Li couldn't help but glared at Lilac, although he was surprised that Lilac could think of this method, but his mouth was not forgiving at all, but the unstoppable tenderness in his eyes still betrayed her.

Lilac playfully stuck out her tongue and didn't answer. But with the mother's hesitant character, the father's consultation with her may also be in vain.

And that's exactly what it is. The worry in Li's heart made Ding Da temporarily put this matter on hold for a while. These villagers are all thinking that they can escape this cold winter and avoid those murderous bandits, after all, the Chinese New Year is approaching.

But this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it safely.

Early the next morning, Ding Xiang and Xiao San were called up, and after eating a hot breakfast, the two of them were about to go outside. Ding Da said that today they were officially taught archery.

It's just that as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, before that foot hit the ground, he heard a shout from Ding Er.

"Big brother is going out to practice archery! Bring me!" Ding Er ran over from a distance out of breath. I heard that Ding Da was going to take two children to learn arrows together today, and his mother-in-law kicked herself out of the quilt early in the morning.

Although studying with the two little babies made Ding Er's face a little unbearable, but there were a few times when the mother-in-law wanted to run away, and there were mountain bandits on the way, so she had to endure the unhappiness in her heart. Followed.

Lilac glanced at Ding Er with some disgust, but seeing that her father agreed with relief, she just pouted and didn't say anything. After all, it's his second uncle.

But Xiao San's expression was very calm, looking at Ding Er's eyes was faint, and his eyebrows were slightly bent.

Ding Er didn't notice the looks of the two children, and only thought that he must surprise them when he learned arrows, so as to save his lost face in the past.

The grass after the snow is white, and from time to time you can see a touch of bright green, which is naturally the color of the crops. A few people walked in the snow, leaving a few deep and shallow footprints.

"Alright, let's be right here." Before Ding Da's words fell, the lurking birds around were suddenly awakened and flew around.

Let this otherwise silent scene suddenly come alive. Xiao San looked at the birds rushing overhead, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he was still thinking about something in his heart.

It's just that before he finished thinking about it, Ding University began his teaching.

"We work on strength first, and then we practice hitting. How can a rabbit be killed all at once when it is running. After saying that, Ding Da pointed to the simple handle hanging on the stake in the distance.

Lilac listened carefully to Ding Da talk about some of his hunting skills, and the thoughts in his little head were spinning at high speed, during this period, he also thought of a better way than his father from time to time, but she didn't say anything, she knew that imagination could not be integrated with reality.

At this time, Ding Er was still staring at Ding Da intently at first, and he seemed to be serious for a while. But after a while, his eyes drifted into the distance, and a smirk leaked from the corner of his mouth, I don't know what he was thinking......

After Ding Da finished speaking, he let the three of them start practicing, and he was on the side to guide and correct some wrong movements when drawing the bow and archery.

Xiao San watched Ding Er stride away, frowning in a somewhat strange posture. Striding in the snow in winter, it is understandable to prevent slipping, just ...... It's a little too funny.

Suddenly, a sharpened and somewhat obtuse wooden bar rushed out of Xiao San's hand, as if it wanted to cut through the air, and suddenly fixed on the center target of the wooden stake in the distance.

Since the two of them were studying for the first time, for safety, Ding Da did not sharpen the wood. The wooden bar was fixed on the handle, shook violently for a few moments, and then fell down without loading.

Seeing that Xiao San hit the bull's-eye at this time, Ding Da on the side was also a little surprised, in his understanding, the first time he shot an arrow, it was good to be able to shoot it steadily.

"I didn't expect that your talent is even higher than mine!"

Ding Xiang patted Xiao San's shoulder in surprise and said, with a smile in her eyes, if they really practiced well, Daddy might be able to take them with them in the future.

So Lilac also started her practice, but after all, she was a daughter, and it was a little uncomfortable at first, but after getting acquainted with it, it felt much easier.

And Ding Er, who was still a little unstable even at the most basic steps, felt that his face was dull, as if he had been slapped twice.

A few small figures are like stars at night in this unobstructed snowfield, and a little first-class is to be able to see the movements of several small people.

It's just that one of them is too funny, the bow on one side looks like an abandoned child, halfway into the snow, and his master on the side is even more trained in the movement of Zama step.

"Ding Er! Stand still! Don't move, your lower plate is unstable, so it's easy to fall when you go out hunting!"

Ding Da hated that iron could not become steel, and roared at Ding Er. The rough voice was particularly loud in this imminent snow, and at this moment it also came into the ears of Ding Er on the side.

Suddenly, Ding Er felt as if there was a ball of anger in his heart, and he simply sat directly on the ground all of a sudden.

Pointing to Xiao San, who was constantly shooting arrows on the side, he said: "Big brother, you said that this Xiao San is also learning for the first time, why doesn't he need to take a horse step?"

Ding Er was angry, feeling that the two children had begun to practice archery, but he was walking in Zama. Ding Da didn't let himself touch the bow at this time, and he was naturally extremely aggrieved in his heart.

"He doesn't need to be able to be steady without a zama step, so I naturally want him to practice strength and accuracy." Ding Da was a little helpless, and he also knew his brother's character.
