From the day when Chen De began to get along with the mouse, after seven or eight months, Chen De has been able to achieve almost no arrows. If you want to shoot the head of the mouse, it is the head, and if you want to shoot the left leg, you will not miss the right leg, and if you want to shoot its tail, it is the tail.

At the same time, the people on the street where Chen De's house is located all feel a gratifying change at the same time: recently, the rats seem to be getting more and more honest, and the food that they usually forget to put away and cover is not patronized by the rats the next day, and they can sleep more peacefully at night, because the rats are less noisy, unlike in the past, the movement of the rats running around is not annoying.

Chen De changed his bow and arrows, because the power of the original one seemed to be small. Moreover, his night vision has been farther, and the range has been expanded.

There were obviously fewer rats in his "hunting ground" range than before, and he had to shoot arrows at rats at a greater distance, because otherwise, the rats would "snort" and get closer, and they would have left the range of his thoughts.

He often had to customize new arrows.

Later, when he asked for arrows made for him by the armory, he wanted to make the arrows and shafts of the arrows and shafts dark. Because in this way, there will be no reflection on the arrow on a moonlit night, and there will be no reflection where there is light. In this way, the reaction time of those cunning rats is shorter, and the hit rate is higher.

After more than a month, Chen De saw that he could encounter fewer and fewer unlucky rats at night, and sometimes he couldn't touch any of them, so he gave up.

However, Chen De's own preference for archery has reached the level of addiction, so he has to practice archery in his backyard at night when no one is around.

His accuracy in archery was already very high, so he added some tricks and difficulties to himself.

He first set two separate targets on two trees in the distance, and then fired two arrows in quick succession as quickly as possible to hit the intended targets.

In the beginning, no. Either you can only hit the first target, and the second one is far from it. Or, both goals are not far off, but neither hits.

With the previous experience of improving his archery skills, Chen De was not discouraged, and kept practicing and exploring.

After more than a month, Chen De finally found the trick.

The trick is just that: rhythm and stability.

The rhythm is: he draws the arrow, opens the bow, aims, releases the arrow, and the connection between the two arrows must conform to a certain rhythm. Stability is: the stability of his legs, arms and waist, the shaking cannot be too large, only a slight shaking. Because when you want to shoot at the second target, you need to aim in a different direction, so you need to turn your body slightly, and if you shake more, the greater the deviation from the second target.

At this time, rats had already begun to haunt his room, but Chen De was so immersed in the practice of new archery that he chose to turn a blind eye to these hateful little things.

After more than a month, Chen De, who had mastered the continuous firing of two arrows, began to temper the archery skills of three arrows in a row.

Gradually, rats are becoming more rampant than they were at the beginning.

Chen De thought that rats from other places were gradually moving around his house, which used to be a place where the number of rats was almost zero, and it was naturally attractive to rats from other parts of the town, and for them, this was a new territory.

After practicing wholeheartedly for a period of time, Chen De has basically mastered the skill of three arrows.

He really didn't want to tolerate the rats again. Besides, practical archery skills are not practiced against motionless targets.

He decides to re-raise the butcher's knife against the rat in order to hone his new string of arrows.

He started with two arrows in a row, that is, two consecutive beads. Each time, he waited for two rats to appear in his range at the same time, and then he fired two arrows in a row.

In the first few days, he had a poor record. Sometimes only one of the two arrows can hit, and sometimes both arrows miss at the same time.

Because, the rats are basically moving, there are fewer stops, and the two rats often move in different directions, which makes it more difficult.

However, every night a few rats returned to the west under his arrows. Let him be comforted at all.

After ten days, he discovered a strange thing: a few days after he was going to bury the dead rats under the tree in the backyard, he went to bed, and when he took out the shovel from the firewood room and went under the tree where he threw the rats, he found that the dead rats were gone.

Because, in order to save time, he often throws the dead mouse from a distance to the place where he wants to bury it, usually under a tree in the backyard, and then he will dig a pit and bury the dead mouse before going to sleep.

He did this because he shot a lot of rats every night, and if he didn't bury them like this, the smell of dead rats would stink the whole street, and it would inevitably attract the attention of others and cause him some trouble.

Chen De thought to himself, could it be a cat from which family came to steal the food? After thinking about it again, he felt that it was not right, there had never been a cat in any house that had ever been interested in these dead rats before, and the cats did not have such a large amount of food, so they would eat all the dead mice.

This happened a few more times after that.

Chen De's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to know what had stolen his loot.

On a few nights, he deliberately came back earlier than usual to deal with the dead mouse, so that the guy who stole his loot would be caught off guard and run into him. After a few nights, when he returned, the dead mouse was gone, and he didn't see anything that stole the dead mouse.

This night, Chen Dexue was obedient, he began to slow down from afar, and quietly returned to the backyard. I saw a small black shadow pecking at something on the ground under a laurel tree in his house, which should be eating dead mice.

It moves extremely fast, because after a while, it changes places and continues to peck. It was like the dark shadow of a bird, concentrating on eating, with its back to Chen De and looking defenseless.

Chen De thought, this is a good opportunity, there should be bird meat to eat tomorrow.

Because he was confident in his archery. Chen De shot an arrow at the bird from behind.

As a rule of thumb, as soon as the arrow was fired, he felt that he was nine out of ten.

However, the next situation made Chen De can't help but "ouch". For he saw that the bird had a long eye on its back, and with a slight leap upward, he dodged the arrow.

After landing, it continued what it had done before.

Next, Chen De took out the archery technique of two arrows in a row, and the two arrows pierced the bird one by one. The lower one shoots at the bird's body, and the upper one prepares the bird to shoot at it as it leaps upward.

This time, the bird jumped up to the right and cleanly dodged two arrows. After landing, it turned around and tilted its head at Chen De, as if it looked disdainful.

made Chen De secretly angry in his heart.

Chen De shot arrows at the bird intensively with anger, and only heard "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", sounds, and arrows continued to shoot at the bird.

The bird did not dare to land again, and after spreading its wings, avoiding all the arrows, it flew crookedly towards the tree, and after a while it was gone. Chen De was very disappointed to pack up all the arrows tied to the trees and fences, and went back to the room to rest.

The next day, after Chen De got up, he went to the backyard to see the star laurel tree where the birds disappeared last night. He looked up the trees for a while, and finally found a rather rough nest.

The nest is not large, but it sits on a branch near the top of the tree, and the surrounding foliage is very dense. For ordinary people, this bird's nest cannot be seen under the tree, it is densely covered by branches and leaves. Chen De used his ability for a while before he saw it.

There is a reason why this bird chose this tree.

Chen De basically buried the rats he shot under a tree in his backyard. This is equivalent to fertilizing these trees frequently. After this period of time, the trees of the same age, his family's trees, grew taller and more lush than others' houses.

It's no wonder that this strange bird chose this taller, more luxuriant laurel tree.

Since then, the bird has also stopped hiding from Tran.

When it needs to usurp Chen De's spoils, it is not polite at all.

Chen De was angry with it in his heart, and he did not change his habits, and still dealt with the dead rat in the same way as before. Whenever he encountered a bird feeding, he unceremoniously bent his bow and released an arrow.

After a few more battles, Chen De was not able to take advantage of it once. The best result was a few bird feathers.

The bird, at such times, still puts on a look of contempt from time to time. For example, tilting your head to look at Chen De, or turning around in front of Chen De, and then flicking its tail left and right. This made the anger in Chen De's heart unpleasant: he was despised by a bird.

On this day, Chen De sat in class. Since his deduction, mental arithmetic, and memory skills have grown a lot, he often only spends a little time pondering in class to master the content of the class. Then, for the rest of his life, he often spent the rest of his life there.

Now, he sat there, seemingly listening attentively, actually trying to figure out how to deal with the strange bird.

He thought back to the several times he had dealt with the bird, and he felt that he should not be able to hold it with an arrow. The bird was completely relaxed when it came to dodging the arrows. Then he wondered how the hunters dealt with their prey, and what were the methods of dealing with their prey.

Eh, it really made him think of a reliable way.

After school, he started his own plan. I went to the house of a familiar hunter first.

When he got home, at nightfall, he spent four nights in a row, not dealing with rats as before, and just practicing archery in the backyard as he had done some time ago. It wasn't until the fifth night that he began to shoot rats, and he worked harder than ever, shooting two percent more rats than before.

As is customary, throw all the fruits under the tree. Then, I went back to the house to rest.

The next day, you don't have to go to school. After Chen De got up, he couldn't wait to run to the backyard.

I searched all over the yard, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I wondered a little: Could it be that it would not be fooled. Another thought: Well, maybe it's up there.

Then, full of hope, he climbed up to the laurel tree where the nest was located.

When I finally arrived, I stretched out my head to look into the bird's nest and was overjoyed: you still fell for the trick.

Chen De saw that the bird was sleeping peacefully in the nest. He carefully tied the bird with a rope, carried it in one hand, and went down the tree.
