Chapter Seventy-Three: I Want a Marksman
As the night faded away, the sun rose again.
Jiang Yan, who got up early, just washed up briefly, and then threw himself into the backyard again.
Jiang Yan planned to dig up the fish pond today and make a waterproof layer, because according to the plan, Gao Chou should come back tomorrow.
Unlike Zhao Dabai, Kaka is a more diligent orangutan, when Jiang Yan woke up, he had already woken up Kaka in the living room, followed Jiang Yan's footsteps Kaka came to the backyard, and now he is standing on the edge of the fish pond, observing Jiang Yan's work.
"What? Do you want to help me? ”
Looking at Kaka's attentive gaze, Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain, but when he heard Jiang Yan's words, Kaka seemed to understand and nodded humanely.
Kaka's action made Jiang Yan, who was digging in the soil, stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Alas, if only I could communicate with animals, I can communicate with you concretely."
Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't let Kaka help her dig the soil, after all, this kind of work may be a bit too much for her, climbing out of the pit, Jiang Yan took Kaka to the storage room, took down the bow and arrow hanging on the wall, and Jiang Yan immediately took Kaka to the backyard.
Last night, Jiang Yan found that Kaka seemed to have a strong interest in archery, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yan was afraid of getting tired of Kaka's eyes after dark, Kaka was afraid that he would not be able to shoot a bow and arrow for half a night.
Seeing Jiang Yan bring out the bow and arrow, Kaka jumped and followed Jiang Yan to the backyard, Jiang Yan picked up the rotten wooden board erected in the corner of the wall, put it on the dirt road in the middle of the vegetable field, and then motioned for Kaka to stand in the distance to practice archery.
Taking the bow and arrow in Jiang Yan's hand, Kaka excitedly hugged it in his arms, and Jiang Yan on the side saw this scene and grabbed Kaka who was running around, pointed to the rotten wooden board in the distance, and signaled Kaka to aim.
Understanding the meaning of Jiang Yan, Kaka stared at the rotten wooden plank in the distance, and his competitiveness continued to burn in Kaka's eyes, looking at Kaka's appearance, Jiang Yan smiled in a low voice, and then continued to dig up his own fish pond with confidence.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
Hearing the sound of arrows not far away, Jiang Yan straightened his waist and looked at Kaka, only to see the latter raise the bow and arrow in his hand, aiming at the rotten wooden plank in the distance and shooting continuously, but as several arrows were fired, Kaka was disappointed to find that he didn't hit any of them.
Looking at Kaka's angry and annoyed appearance, Jiang Yan in the pit couldn't help but snicker, Kaka's archery Jiang Yan already knew something last night, so this time, Jiang Yan quietly moved the plank back ten meters.
The distance of 50 meters is basically the limit of what this bow can reach, and it is much more difficult for Kaka to hit the target at this distance than it was last night.
But Jiang Yan knows that although the hit rate will be greatly reduced, Kaka will not be discouraged by his failure, the resilience of the latter's mentality is beyond his expectations, obviously this difficult challenge is more in line with Kaka's expectations.
"So, you just stay honest today."
Looking at Kaka's repeated failures, Jiang Yan dug up his fish pond with confidence.
The construction of the fish pond is not too anxious for Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan has a bad habit, that is, when he starts something, he will definitely finish it in one go.
The fish pond was built to prepare for the fish caught here to continue their lives, but Jiang Yan now stores a lot of crocodile meat, even if Zhao Dabai and Kaka eat together, they may not be able to eat it in another three or two days, so for Jiang Yan, time is still relatively free.
After a busy morning, the fish pond finally had a rough appearance, and the depth was almost 70 centimeters, and the debris piled up around it had formed a small hill.
Realizing that it was noon, Jiang Yan got up from the pit, and Kaka in the distance was still practicing archery, but it was different from the morning, this time, there were a few hit arrows lying crookedly in front of the rotten wooden plank.
"Huh?"
Looking at the arrow that was suspected of being hit by Kaka, Jiang Yan was a little shocked, but Jiang Yan in the morning was obsessed with digging a pit and didn't pay attention to Kaka's actions here, and the sound with the arrow was not heard at all.
However, the location of the bow and arrows can also be roughly deduced from the exact number of arrows hit.
With Kaka, Jiang Yan walked to the plank, bent down to collect the scattered arrows, and Jiang Yan counted them carefully.
"One, two, three."
Inserting all the arrows into the quiver, it is suspected that 5 arrows were hit, and there were a total of 22 practice arrows, except for the three or two lying on the ground just now, the hit rate of Kaka's 50-meter target has reached the level of nearly a quarter, and this progress is simply fast.
"But I still need to practice."
Holding Kaka, Jiang Yan admonished earnestly.
Jiang Yan didn't want any hit rate, Jiang Yan preferred to get a sharpshooter who could hit wherever he wanted, for example, the last time he encountered a crocodile, if Jiang Yan could hit the crocodile's head from a distance, then he wouldn't let himself enter such a dangerous situation.
Compared with the pistol, the lethality of the bow and arrow is obviously lower, if Jiang Yan didn't have a pistol last time and wanted to escape with a bow and arrow, the easiest way was to shoot the crocodile in the eyes and make it lose its vision.
But at such a distance, and the target is so small, if you want to hit with a bow and arrow, it can only make the archer reach a very exaggerated level.
The previous Jiang Yan could not achieve such accuracy at medium and long distances, so the second best thing to do, Jiang Yan has been pursuing short-distance shots, but now that there is a card jam, the situation is completely different.
Kaka's talent is obviously much more powerful than Jiang Yan, in this case, professional things will be handed over to professional people to do, and Jiang Yan will rest assured and boldly hand over to Kaka when it comes to archery.
"I'm very confident in you!"
Holding Kaka, Jiang Yan came to the front yard, and Zhao Dabai, who had slept all morning, wandered around the courtyard casually, looking at the free-range chickens, his eyes full of longing.
But two days ago, he chased chickens once, but the end was chased all over the yard by Jiang Yan with a tree, and since then Zhao Dabai has known that these chickens are the owner's rations.
Taking out the remaining two crocodile feet from the storage room, Jiang Yan gave one to Zhao Dabai and Kaka, and he cooked two ears of corn for lunch.
Zhao Dabai, who is tall and strong, is when he grows his body, and he does not refuse to come with such a big crocodile foot, and Kaka on the side put down the crocodile foot in his arms after eating two bites, she ate too much yesterday, so that she has no appetite now.
Finding that Kaka was not hungry, Jiang Yan put the crocodile foot back in the living room, and after lunch, Jiang Yan did not continue the previous tradition of napping, but led Kaka to the backyard and continued to dig his own fish pond.
Because Jiang Yan felt that this fish pond might be completed before this evening came.
