Chapter 8: Archery

After a night's work, the water in the river was actually dry.

From time to time, you can see some muddy waves rolled up by some fish.

After a while, people from the village rushed over one after another, looking at the river that was close to drying up, surprised and delighted.

"Haha, there was fish to eat at night!"

Every year, the river has a dry season and the water level drops.

Sometimes it rains a little more, and the village can block the river, empty the water, and all that's left is the white flowery fish.

Not to mention how delicious it is.

A group of people beckoned, brought farming tools to their homes, dug up the soil, broke branches and weeds, mixed them in the dirt, and blocked the two sections of the river upstream and downstream.

Day and night, they take turns pumping water downstream.

Gradually, some fish can be seen swimming in the riverbed.

The people of the village are the same as the Chinese New Year.

It's just that in this lively atmosphere, there are some completely different words.

"How did River Plate dry so fast this year? I don't know if it will affect the harvest of crops! ”

······

For several days, the village was in a state of excitement, and every household was able to get some fish.

However, as time passed, the fears of some people at that time gradually became a reality.

In this area, there are signs of drought!

An invisible cloud gradually enveloped the land.

"The most terrible thing in ancient times was not the labor of beasts, but natural disasters and man-made disasters!"

"Natural disasters, before man-made disasters!"

Lu Changsheng held the wooden stick and looked into the distance.

The scorching sun in the sky was a little distorted.

It stands to reason that the weather should not be so hot and dry as the end of the year approaches, but at this moment, it is a bit abnormal.

"The river is almost dry, and I can't touch the fish, so I still have to find another way!"

Lu Changsheng stood up.

168 words, I already remember that the melon is ripe, just need to understand its meaning, he is a 'capable person' who can read and write.

When the time comes, even if you go to Montenegrin Mansion, you don't have to worry about finding something to do.

However, no matter what, we must get through the end of this year first.

Took a dried fish from the shelf.

Lu Changsheng walked around most of the village and arrived in front of a courtyard.

The yard is remote, and the green moss is visible on the edge of the threshold.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a voice coming.

"Good at fishing, Lu Erdan?"

Lu Changsheng turned his head to look and saw a man standing not far away.

"Uncle!"

Zhaojia Village is not small.

In addition, he was not a peer, and Lu Changsheng didn't know who the other party's surname was, so he could only call it in general terms.

"You've fallen in love with the old lame's craft, right? It's not that I'm telling you, that guy wasn't a good bird, when he was young—"

"Babble".

The courtyard door opens from the inside.

The man seemed to feel a chill and turned to walk away.

"Little ghost, do you want to learn Lao Tzu's archery?"

"Yes! Please also ask the old man for advice! ”

Lu Changsheng only felt that this person's eyes were a little sharp, it was a completely different temperament from the people in the village, like a bandit in his impression.

"Lao Tzu's craft is learned by most of his life! Do you know the Nujiang Gang in Montenegro? ”

"I don't know!"

Lu Changsheng said honestly.

"Hmph, you baby is young and shallow, so it's normal to not know! Today I'm going to tell you about the Nujiang Gang! ”

The old man seemed to have opened a chatterbox, telling Lu Changsheng about the so-called Nujiang Gang.

The truth is, three points of bloody wind and bloody rain, seven points of meticulousness and movement!

It wasn't until it was getting late that Lu Changsheng reminded him, and then he couldn't finish the conversation.

"Thank you for talking to me so much! It's getting late, so I'll go back first! ”

"Uh-well!"

The old man nodded subconsciously.

When Lu Changsheng walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait! Dried fish—"

Lu Changsheng looked at the old man with a smile.

The old man stared at him for a while, then snorted coldly and said, "If you are not sincere, you also want me to teach you the craft?" What wishful thinking! ”

Lu Changsheng turned around and left.

"Wait!"

The old man spoke again.

"Teach once, a dried fish!"

"Good!"

Lu Changsheng showed a smile on his face and put the dried fish on the table next to him.

"Every morning I come to the old man!"

"Get out!"

······

Lu Changsheng left the courtyard and looked up at the sky.

The temperature is hot!

recalled the words from Father Lu's mouth in his mind.

"The old lame man in the East Village is called Zhang Village, he was once one of the top hunters in Zhaojia Village, because his family was poor, so he went to Montenegro Mansion alone, and there was no news for twenty years, and later I heard that he joined the gang in Montenegro Mansion! It's not clear exactly what to do, but a few years later, when I came back, I was already lame, and I said that I was cut off! ”

"That Zhang village is not in tune, when he was in the village, he always thought about the side of the road, when he first came back, many people ran to his house, wanting the child to learn archery with him, but although the man agreed, in fact, he did not teach the real thing, and ate the filial piety of those children's families, you don't really go to him!"

Lu Changsheng originally came over with sincerity, but he didn't expect that after listening to Zhang Village's words, he already had a bottom in his heart.

"A paragraph, sometimes out of tune! There is a conflict between the front and back, and the logic is difficult to close! Even if it doesn't spread so ruthlessly, it definitely can't be poured out of the heart and lungs! ”

Because of this, Lu Changsheng changed his mind and directly tied up his interests to lure him.

"Gangs, martial arts, I don't know, is there really such a thing!"

Lu Changsheng is a little skeptical now, the possibility that this world is an extraordinary world may not be subtle.

However, that needs to be verified in Montenegro.

Before verifying the authenticity, his energy was still on reading, after all, the two did not conflict at present.

······

There was a dried fish missing from the house, and it was soon discovered, but after learning that Lu Changsheng took it, he didn't bother with the matter anymore.

After all, Lu Changsheng brought a lot of fish back before.

The poor knew that food was hard to come by, so if there were too many fish on a given day, they would leave one or two to make dried fish.

After a few months, the stock is not much, but it is not a lot.

It's just that Father Lu still reminded him to have less dealings with that lame man.

"Fortunately, my family status is much higher now, otherwise, I really can't deal with this situation!"

Lu Changsheng said secretly in his heart.

Following.

East Village, in the courtyard of Zhang Village's house.

"Don't bring any dried fish?" Zhang Cun looked at Lu Changsheng with an unhappy expression.

"I went back yesterday and was beaten and scolded by my family for a while, and if I wanted to steal the dried fish, I still had to do it the next day!" Lu Changsheng said with a look of 'shame'.

Without waiting for Zhang Cun to get mad, he said: "If the old man thinks this is not good, then forget it in the future!" This archery technique does not have to be learned, I have this fishing skills, and when the river rises a little, I will not need this archery! ”

Zhang Cun sneered, "Narrow-minded! Don't pressure yourself with more skills! Don't underestimate this archery! Your fishing skills, at most, can draw a moment and a half, and my skills, can draw the future! ”

A mouthful of the word 'roll' came to his mouth and swallowed it again.

He is lame, he is old, he has no descendants, it is usually difficult to get a stutter, and finally someone came, and he must not let him run.

"A difficult master! But - it's a child, after all! ”

Zhang Cun said secretly in his heart.

He didn't know if this was Lu Changsheng's little trick, but no matter what, it wouldn't change his mind.
