Chapter 2: Learning Arrows
The sky is slightly dark, it is estimated that there is still an hour before the evening, Wang Xiaohu put his sister on the bamboo stool, went to get the bird eggs for his sister to eat for dinner, looking at the expression of his sister eating bird eggs as if eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and silently said in his heart, "I will definitely live happily in the future, no matter what the system, I will definitely be able to become strong."
"Xiaohu, come here" came from the deep voice of his father Wang Daniu in the next room, there are three earthen houses in the house, one for parents, one for Xiaohu and Xiaohua, the other room for sundries, and a small kitchen outside, with a fence to enclose a yard, and some vegetables are planted in the yard.
Wang Xiaohu pinched his sister's face, and then walked into his parents' room, looking at his father sitting on the bed with a slightly haggard look, and his mother also sitting on the bed with a worried look.
"Dad, why are you calling me" Wang Xiaohu didn't think about anything, and walked directly to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"Xiaohu, you are ten years old this year, and the family has no money to send you to the town to study, and there is no way for you to find a master to learn some crafts, I discussed it with your mother, and when the rain stops tomorrow, you can follow me to learn archery, at least it is a craft, and you can be a soldier and hunt in the future" The father's words were relatively dull, and he finished slowly, and his mother was also dull and silent on the side.
Wang Xiaohu understands that this is to inform himself, and he has no way to change, the children in the village are generally sons inherit their father's business, their fathers are hunters, and their ancestors may be hunters for generations, but they are more looking forward to it now, after all, if they can hunt in the future, they will be able to eat more meat and get more source points to improve themselves.
"Really? Great, I will be able to shoot arrows in the future, follow my father into the mountains to hunt a lot of prey, I will eat a lot of meat in the future" Wang Xiaohu behaved like a child, in fact, he was a child on the outside, although his heart was not very turbulent.
"Hey-" The father and mother sighed and looked at the excited son, if there was any other way, they didn't want Xiaohu to be a hunter in the future, but relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the grain output in the fields was not enough to eat, and most of the taxes had to be paid to the imperial court every year.
"I'm going to tell Xiaohua that I'm going to learn arrows tomorrow, hahaha" Wang Xiaohu excitedly ran out of his parents' house, returned to his own house, and saw his sister.
"Xiaohua, I can learn archery tomorrow, and when I learn archery, I will be able to hunt a lot of meat for you, look forward to it! I'm sure I'll be the number one marksman in the village. Wang Xiaohu picked up his sister, put her on the bed, and said to Xiaohua.
"Oh, really? Brother, can I eat meat if I want to eat meat in the future? My sister looked at her brother, who was five years older than herself, with expectant eyes, although her sister was only five years old, but she had already understood some of the difficulties of life.
"Needless to say, but I will have to wait until I can go into the mountains to hunt, I will definitely study seriously," Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
Next, Wang Xiaohu and his sister fantasized about a better life in the future, thinking of being able to shoot a tiger with one arrow, a blind bear with two arrows, and so on.
I don't eat at night, and I can basically only eat one meal a day at noon, which is the norm in the village, and it is estimated that only the rich and noble families in the town can eat three meals a day.
The next day, Wang Xiaohu got up early, looked at the sky outside that was gloomy, but there was no rain, waiting for his father to teach him archery, and after a while, his father Wang Daniu came out to see his son waiting in the yard.
"Xiaohu, why do you get up so early" Seeing his son get up so early, the originally heavy mood suddenly became better, thinking that his son may really like to learn archery, what he can do is to turn his son into a real hunter, as for what will happen after that, as long as his son can save some money and ask for a mother-in-law.
"I'm the one who wants to be the number one marksman in the world, how can I sleep lazy!" Wang Xiaohu behaved coldly, as if he was already the first in the world. Yesterday I imagined too far, at the beginning it was the first in the village, and then it was estimated that it may be the first in the universe, and I felt that I should be humble and become the first in the world.
"Okay, the first in the world, I'll wait for the day when you become the first in the world." The father said with a smile, I guess I didn't care, after all, the children who didn't have Zhang Qi, the children were unscrupulous, how could they be like themselves, they didn't dare to say that they were proficient in archery in the village, and they occasionally talked to others and said: "It's okay, it's okay."
After a while, his father Wang Da Niu packed up his things and came to his son with two bows, one large and one small, and a pot of feather arrows, "In the future, you will use this small bow, only half a stone, with your current strength, you can also make ordinary contacts, and when you are proficient, you will change this big one-stone bow" The father said to Xiaohu.
"Okay, see if I will be able to change the big bow soon" Wang Xiaohu said happily, thinking in his heart, "It seems that my father has taken into account my age, but I need to show a little bit of natural divine power, and great strength is still relatively common in ancient times, especially some generals, it is rumored that they are as powerful as cattle when they are a few years old, and their performance is slightly worse than that of normal people, and it should be nothing."
"To learn archery, you first need to understand the bow and arrow, which is made up of elastic bowarms and a flexible bowstring; Arrows include arrowheads, shafts, and feathers; Good bows and arrows are generally expensive, we use ordinary hardwood bows, arrows are also made of ordinary hardwood in the mountains, and the feathers are found in the village goose feathers......."
Speaking of bows and arrows, I feel that my father's whole spirit has changed, just like a craftsman who has been working for decades, full of confidence, maybe Wang Daniu's archery skills are not very powerful, but after all, he has used it for decades, and he can be said to know the bow and arrow well.
Under the careful explanation of his father, Wang Xiaohu was also patiently listening to the new knowledge, after all, this is the only skill knowledge that he can access now, after half an hour, the explanation finally came to an end, Wang Daniu began to let his son start practicing with a bow and arrow, after all, no matter how much he talked about, it was not useful to practice in practice
"I started, look at the first arrow of my marksman, and pierce Yang in a hundred steps" According to the posture taught by his father, he directly pulled the bow down to full bow, so that the father on the side was surprised by his son's strength.
"Whoosh...", the shot was missed, because the force was relatively large, and it shot directly to the fence next to it, just submerged into the arrow.
"Well, I just want to shoot at the fence next to me," Wang Xiaohu whispered embarrassedly, looking at the feather arrows that were one foot away from the edge of the arrow target that his father usually practiced.
"Well, yes, although the shot missed, but the strength is not small, it seems that Xiaohu you have some talent in strength" Wang Daniu said with a happy smile, after all, great strength always had some advantages in ancient times.
Next, Wang Daniu let Xiaohu practice by himself,
After Wang Xiaohu shot all the feather arrows, two arrows also hit the target, which could be just the edge.
The "system" calls in the heart:
Assistance systems:
Host: Wang Xiaohu
Body: 1.2 (+)
Force: 1.2 (+)
Min: 1.0 (+)
God: 1.5(+)
Energy point: 0.5
Exercises: None
Realm: None
Seeing that the system panel has not changed, I guess that archery may not be considered a practice.
In the next hour, Wang Xiaohu continued to practice archery until his mother called him to eat, at this time his sister Xiaohua also ran out, and shouted when she saw her brother shooting arrows: "Come on, come on, come on, ...... brother."
Listening to his sister's voice, Wang Xiaohu's body, which was originally a little tired, felt motivated again, and continued to practice archery, wanting to perform well in front of his sister.
The sound of "whoosh" archery ...... non-stop.
In the end, it was my mother who told me to stop eating.
"It's still wild vegetable porridge, multigrain steamed buns" Looking at the nutritious rice, Wang Xiaohu made up his mind to practice archery hard and go into the mountains to hunt as soon as possible.
"Xiaohu, practice archery according to your ability, otherwise excessive practice will damage the body, practice for two hours a day in the future, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening," the father said to his son, who was thinking about it and practicing archery hard.
"It's okay, Dad, I'll rest when I'm tired, and I definitely won't practice too much," Wang Xiaohu said to his father mischievously.
In fact, when Wang Xiaohu stopped archery, he felt a little soreness in his arms.
After eating, Wang Da Niu carried a hoe and went to the field to work, his mother cleaned up the housework at home, Wang Xiaohu carried a fish basket on his back and ran to the village to find a little friend to play, of course, the play is to go down to the river to catch fish, go up to the tree to set bird eggs, and the rest of the feeling is a little uncomfortable for Xiaohu, after all, it is an adult inside, and it is impossible to play with children in the mud! , although he didn't have a girlfriend in his last life, let alone married, after all, he was bombarded with Internet knowledge, and his heart has fully matured.
In the afternoon, carrying a fish basket containing a few small fish, he led his sister Xiaohua back to the house with his right hand, and after giving the fish basket to his mother, he went to get a bow and arrow to continue practicing archery.
