Looking back, it was a boy about my age who spoke.

He was wearing a navy blue robe, with a jade crown of the same color on his head, a very thin face, narrow eyes, and flat eyebrows, with a detached aura.

He held a strange piece of wood in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, and stood beside the flower tree, looking innocent.

"It's not." I replied.

"Oh." He answered, took the cloth bag and walked to the stone table and sat down, and carefully repaired the piece of wood, which looked like a young man and an adult.

A little tired from standing, I simply sat across from him and watched him fiddle with the wood.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing you are repairing?" ”

"It's not a thing, it's a crossbow." He didn't even lift his head.

I said, "I know the crossbow, but yours is weird." ”

He nodded, "This is a crossbow that I modified with a trick, a normal crossbow can only send out one arrow feather at a time, and my crossbow can send three at a time." And after the arrow feather is fired, it will automatically and quickly fire three more arrow feathers. I'm about to revamp it a little bit more and make it a little more powerful. ”

"How far can you shoot this crossbow?" I'm a little curious.

He thought for a moment, looked up, pointed to a willow tree and said, "Probably there." ”

I laughed.

From here to the tree he was pointing to, there was a distance of thirty meters. And the small crossbow in his hand is the size of a palm, saying that I believe in three meters, thirty meters......

"You don't believe me?"

Yes, not believing.

He seemed to frown for a moment, then lowered his head and concentrated on his little crossbow.

At first, I was able to sit across from me and look at it, but after a long time, I got bored and began to look around the yard.

This courtyard is very exquisitely repaired, and the pavilions and pavilions have a unique artistic conception, but if you look around more, you will feel bored......

Just as I was holding my hands and watching the clouds fall asleep, he stopped, stood up and said, "Come with me." ”

I was bored, so I immediately got up and followed.

He first went to the corner of the wall to pick a few wild fruits that he didn't know what they were and placed them on the table, then walked into the distance, bent half an arm to fix the small crossbow, and aimed with one eye slightly closed......

"Whoosh...... Bang ......"

Three small wooden arrows flew out, piercing the small fruit on the table and nailing it to the tree behind it. Before I could be surprised, three more small arrows flew out after the tails of the first three, smashing their wings and nailing them to the same place.

"How's that, believe it?" He took out a piece of cheesecloth from his sleeve and quietly wiped the uneven lines on the crossbow.

From where you stand to where you put the fruit, you need to be at least 50 meters. Fifty meters, even if it is a normal wooden crossbow, the range is no more than that. The small crossbow in his hand is only the size of a palm, and if the sleeves are wide, you can't see it hidden in the wide sleeves, but the power is so great......

"Can I see your crossbow?"

He thought for a moment and handed the crossbow over. This thing is very delicate, and the details are polished very smooth, but where is the mechanism for firing arrows?

"Here." He flipped the crossbow over, and there were two silver wire straps on the left and right sides of the crossbow, one side of which was fixed to the arm, and another thin silk thread was wrapped around the palm of the hand and wrapped around the finger, and with a slight movement of the finger, the arrow flew out.

I became interested and asked, "Can I give it a try?" ”

He reloaded the arrow feathers and gave me the crossbow, and I raised my arm, and after a few times I didn't get it right, he seemed to laugh a little, and came over to help tie the crossbow.

When the silver thread was tied and it was time to wrap it around his fingers, he stopped.

"Did anyone bully you?" He seemed to frown.

"There used to be, and there shouldn't be any in the future."

Pull the cuffs down, cover the wound, wrap the silk thread, and with a whoosh, the arrow feathers are nailed crookedly to the tree.

He leveled my arms and said, "Keep your hands steady, keep your eyes on the target, and do it again." ”

"Whoosh......" This time, three arrow feathers flew out horizontally.

He nodded, carefully unloaded the crossbow, and said, "The wire rope of the arrow crossbow is too sharp, it is easy to hurt your hand, and you have to change it again, by the way, follow me." After saying that, he put away the small cloth bag and walked to the backyard by himself.

This kid has a lot of character, and he leaves after speaking, and he doesn't care if others hear it or not......

But I chose to follow ......

Skirt the two cloisters and through the small garden to a large gate. I didn't see him raise his hand, and the door opened by itself, which should be another mechanism or something.

Entering the gate, he motioned for me to sit down, and walked straight to a white bamboo drawing, and I don't know which bamboo leaf to wipe on. With a click, a small dark room full of lattices appeared on the right, and there were some very strange things in it, probably all of them were mechanisms or something.

He took a small bottle in the third compartment below, thought about it, took out a pack from the rightmost compartment on the side, walked up to me and said, "Sleeves up." ”

Seeing that I didn't move, he was not annoyed, and stuffed the bottle into my hand and said, "This is the rain and rain dew, it has a miraculous effect on healing injuries, if you find it inconvenient, you can wipe it after you go back." ”

He put the small bag on the table again, "This is a muffin, for you to eat." ”

After speaking, he sat at the other end of the table with a small crossbow and began to repair, looking very serious.

I was really a little hungry, smelling the fragrance coming from the small bag, and I didn't care about the rain and dew and the breeze, I picked up a piece and ate it, but at this time, he suddenly raised his head and said faintly, "Remember to leave half for me." ”

Me: "......"

The muffins are really delicious, layer by layer, crispy and mellow, a bit like the once favorite acacia cake.

Suddenly a little irritable, I put down my muffin and walked out the door.

At this time it was nearly evening, and the fire burned the clouds, and the sunset was a different kind of red, like the color of blood.

"Why are you always worried?" I don't know when, he came to his side, a jacket robe reflected by the glow, a face, a small adult.

I didn't answer, and he wouldn't understand if he answered.

"What's your name?" He asked suddenly.

"Su Qianmu." I replied.

"Su Tianmu ......" he read for a while, nodded, and then handed me the small crossbow, "This is for you." I replaced the silk thread with a ring so it wouldn't hurt my hand.

"What, don't you want it?" Seeing that I didn't answer, he seemed to frown.

"No, it's just that I don't have anything to get back to you."

He smiled slightly, "No, you have already told me your name, which is considered an exchange." Take it, with this, no one should bully you. ”

I still wanted to excuse myself and say no, but he had already walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back, and the door behind him was also closed, so I was embarrassed to hold the pestle any longer, so I quickly followed him all the way forward, and when I was about to reach the front yard, he paused and said, "I'm a little hungry, I want to eat, do you want to come along?" ”

With such an obvious eviction order, I naturally understood it, and immediately said no. He hummed and turned to walk in the other direction, when I suddenly remembered something and called him, "Hey, what's your name?" ”。

"Ji Yunchang. The clouds of the clouds, the constant scales of the ordinary people. He walked away with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the small crossbow in my hand, and then at the empty corridor, I was a little puzzled, but it didn't matter, I kicked the little crossbow into my arms and went back to the front yard.

Almost as soon as I returned, Su Ho and the three princes came out of the house. The faces of several people were not very good, especially Su Huo, whose brows could be wrinkled.

The three of them walked to the door, said goodbye to each other, and after the two of them walked away, Su Huo picked me up on the horse's back, flicked the horsewhip, and beat the horse back home.

After returning home, Su Huo asked the housekeeper to send me to the small courtyard and then went into the house, the housekeeper is also a careful person, seeing that it was getting late, he actually asked someone to make me a supper, and sent it to the small courtyard together.

Although I had prepared for it, I was still quite surprised when I returned to the courtyard.

In just one afternoon, the yard was completely renewed.

The weeds have been repaired, the dead leaves have been tied, the eaves and corners have been hung with eight-treasure lanterns, and the original dilapidated and leaky doors and windows have been painted with new dark red paint, and a few maids and women are busy inside and out, and they can't see the slightest bit of dilapidation during the day.

"Miss, Miss, you're back." Green beads ran out of the house, and when she saw me, she was in tears, she was wearing a little pink dress, although it was a coarse cloth, and she could see the new oars at the corners of the clothes.

The housewife was so thoughtful that she even dialed her new clothes.

After sending off the housekeeper, the new maid came to ask for peace and confession. I was tired after a day of tossing, so I gave a few simple instructions and asked Luzhu to fetch water for me to wash.

The whiplash wound on his body had not yet scabbed and could not be bathed, so he let the green beads apply the medicine, and then changed into new clothes and lay down to sleep.

The new bedding was soft, the tables, chairs, doors and windows smelled of new paint, and I was sleepy, and I couldn't sleep after turning it over.

In the middle of the night, when I felt a little sleepy, I heard the sound of broken footsteps on the roof, and then a "......clang" sound, and a short arrow was nailed to the center of the bed.
