Chapter 18: Learning Arrows
The sun was setting, the twilight in the forest was even more vast, and the three figures walked out of the forest and walked towards the camp next to the official road, which was Lin Xiaogou and Meng Han's father and son who went out hunting.
Meng Nan was carrying a fat rabbit, and Lin Xiaogou was carrying a pheasant in each hand, of course he didn't shoot it, although Lin Tianyou's second ancestor had hunted before, he was just pretending to be forced in front of those Qinglou fans, in fact, he couldn't even pull the short bow, and Lin Xiaogou had no experience in archery, so it was strange that he could shoot the prey.
The three of them returned to the camp and were warmly welcomed by everyone, the little maid ran over, looked at the pheasant in Lin Xiaogou's hand excitedly, and exclaimed, "Young master, did you shoot this?"
Lin Xiaogou smiled and said: "This young god arrow is invincible, how can he shoot easily, not to mention such a thing as a chicken, I won't shoot indiscriminately." ”
"That means the young master didn't shoot anything?"
"Girl, I underestimate your young master. Lin Xiaogou triumphantly took out two wild eggs from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Look, these two peerless divine eggs were caught by your young master himself, right?"
Old man Sun, who was holding a pipe, teased: "Yo, it is indeed a peerless god egg, and the colorful brilliance goes straight to the sky, and even those chicken dung on it are full of majestic majesty." ”
Everyone around instantly burst into laughter, the little maid covered her mouth and snickered, Lin Xiaogou stuffed the eggs into the little maid's hands without changing his face, and said with a smile: "Regardless of these uninformed hillbillies, pure natural food is the most nutritious, and I will make two poached eggs later, one for each of us." ”
The little maid took two wild eggs with a disgusted face, and the dried chicken manure on them really affected her appearance.
Next, Lin Xiaogou really showed his hand, a steamed chicken with wild mushrooms, and stewed rabbit meat with dried bamboo shoots were praised by everyone, Meng Nan's kid almost swallowed his tongue, and he was even closer to Lin Xiaogou.
Bian Mei said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Xiaogou to cook a good dish at a young age, and everyone will be blessed in the next few days." ”
Meng Nan licked his lips and said unsatisfactorily: "Yes, it's so delicious, Dad, we must hunt more pheasants tomorrow." ”
Meng Han said: "Okay!"
Bian Mei glared at the father and son, and said angrily: "You really use other people's little gou brothers as cooks!"
Meng Han scratched the back of his head and laughed embarrassedly.
Lin Xiaogou rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay for me to be a cook for everyone, but Sister Mei has to teach me archery!"
Bian Mei couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Xiaogou wants to learn archery?"
Lin Xiaogou nodded and said, "Yes, you can not only defend yourself, but also hunt!"
"It's not difficult to learn archery, but it doesn't happen overnight!"
"This little hook understands that the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on himself!"
Bian Mei's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "That's good, now I'll teach you some simple archery skills, and then you practice by yourself, it will take seven or eight days to go to Starlight City, if you have any questions during this time, you can ask me at any time, and it's up to you how much you can learn." ”
Bian Mei had a bold personality and did not procrastinate, so she really immediately took Lin Xiaogou aside, taught the basic knowledge of archery on the spot, and especially explained some essentials and skills.
Bian Mei took the short bow from her son Meng Nan and demonstrated the movements a few times, and said: "The most important thing in archery is eyesight, arm strength and patience. I can't even see the target clearly, and it's impossible to shoot it...... Look over there!"
Speaking of this, Bian Mei suddenly made a slight mistake in her steps, and before Lin Xiaogou could see clearly, a sharp arrow had already broken through the air and fell obliquely into the grass nearly fifty meters away.
"Go and pick up the arrows!" Bian Mei said lightly.
Lin Xiaogou ran to the location where the arrow landed in confusion, and when he saw the little centipede that was nailed into the mud, he couldn't help but be speechless, and at the same time his back was cold.
Damn, now that the sky is dark, Bian Mei can actually see a centipede in the grass fifty meters away, that eyesight and accuracy are so awesome with lightning that she can't do it even if she drinks Mingmu soup.
Lin Xiaogou returned the arrow to Bian Mei with admiration in his eyes, and now he believed in the ability of the young woman in front of him to shoot the arrow in the ass/eye.
"The eyes must be clear, the hands must be steady, and the arrows are accurate, the real archers, as soon as the arrows leave the string, they already know the results, because their minds are already attached to the tip of the arrow!"
Lin Xiaogou's eyes widened and said, "Such a?"
Bian Mei threw the short bow to Lin Xiaogou and said with a smile: "If you reach that level, you will naturally be able to reach that mysterious feeling." Think about it tonight, and when you have a break tomorrow, you can find a place to practice. With that, he turned around and walked back to the camp.
Meng Nan, who was waiting on the side, saw that his mother had finished teaching, and immediately ran over, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaogou, it's getting dark, let's practice again tomorrow, the story of the arrow not leaving the ass is not finished, you can't deny it!"
When those vendors heard that Lin Xiaogou was telling the story, they hugged them and surrounded Xiaogou's classmates in the middle, and even Bian Mei walked by.
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but be speechless, there was no way, I could only blame the people in this world for their nightlife being too monotonous, and there was nothing to do after eating at night, and those who had a daughter-in-law could still hey hehe, and those who didn't have a daughter-in-law could only sleep with a pillow.
Since so many listeners cheered, Lin Xiaogou cleared his throat and told the story of "arrows and arrows never leave the buttocks" from the beginning, and when it was finally said that three thieves used a basin to cover their butts and groped into the outsider's house to steal things, the audience burst into laughter until their stomachs hurt.
Lin Xiaogou looked at Meng Nan who was rolling with laughter, as well as the people who leaned forward and backwards, and secretly despised these guys with low laughter, and then continued to tell the story of the two misers, which made everyone turn on their backs and lose their armor.
The young woman rubbed her sore belly and said, "Little hook, don't say it, let's laugh out of tears, let's all disperse and rest!"
Everyone dispersed, and only Lin Xiaogou's master and servant and Bian Mei's family were left by the fire.
Meng Han extinguished the bonfire, leaving only a pile of red coal, and the surrounding area of the camp instantly became much darker.
Lin Xiaogou asked puzzledly: "Uncle Meng, why did you extinguish the bonfire, the beast is afraid of fire, wouldn't it be better to light the bonfire." ”
Meng Han grinned and said, "Wild beasts are afraid of fire, but star beasts are not necessarily, and some fire-based star beasts will even follow the light of fire to find them." ”
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but suddenly feel that his perception of the previous world might not work here.
The little maid asked weakly, "Have you ever encountered a star beast before?"
Bian Mei chuckled: "Of course, but there are very few powerful star beasts near the official road, you don't have to worry!"
The little maid felt a little relieved when she heard this, Chu Jun was about to take the opportunity to ask about the quenching of the body, Meng Han had already stood up and said, "I'm going to watch the night, you guys rest early!"
Bian Mei nodded and said, "Be careful, change me in the second half of the night!"
Meng Han walked out of the camp with a big sword, and Bian Mei also stood up and walked out, as if there was something to discuss.
Lin Xiaogoujian frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Meng Nan, have you ever been in a car with your parents before?"
Meng Nan nodded and said, "Of course!"
"Then you have to cut down wood and drive piles every time you set up camp?"
Meng Nan shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, but today's situation is a bit special!"
Lin Xiaogou's heart moved, and said, "Is it because of those horseback riders?"
Meng Nan nodded and said, "Those guys obviously have the intention of provocation, and my mother suspects that they are a group of thieves who are trying dishes!"
"Test the plate?"
Meng Nan explained: "The test rod is a black word on the road, that is, the meaning of stepping on the point, and at the same time testing the strength of the target, if you think you can eat it, you will send someone to serve the plate, which means to kill us!"
The little maid's face turned pale, and she subconsciously shrank to Lin Xiaogou's side.
Meng Nanhan said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, my mother is just suspicious, those people are not necessarily coming at us, even if they come at us, they are not afraid with my father's ability." ”
Lin Xiaogou frowned, but the uneasiness in his heart lingered.
