A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 8 Going up the mountain
"Uncle Quanfu, I'll serve you more when you're done. There's more in the pot."
Li Quanfu agreed verbally but did not let Li Xiaoxiao get more. One bowl was enough, and the leftovers were just enough for Li Xiaoxiao and her family to eat in the evening.
After dinner, Li Ruolan put away the dishes. Li Xiaoxiao and Sun took some hay and spread it against the wall. They put a mattress on it and called Li Dahai to come over for a nap.
The sun was strong and the weather was hot at noon, so Li Quanfu went home to rest and would come back later.
Li Dahai's health was really poor. He had been coughing non-stop since a while ago. Sun went to collect herbs in the morning and they were already prepared.
Li Xiaoxiao studied medicine. She secretly took Li Dahai's pulse and found that Li Dahai's problem was not serious. He had chronic bronchitis. He had a difficult childbirth as a child and was already weak. Old lady Li ordered him to do this and that, and he did not get enough nutrition. Later, his body became weaker and weaker. In the past two years, he could not even work in the fields. Old lady Li became more and more dissatisfied with their family and would beat or scold them.
Li Dahai's health was too poor, and without medical equipment, it was almost impossible for him to recover completely. But she prescribed some medicine for him to take, and told him to try not to overwork himself and eat nutritious meals. He was expected to get 70% to 80% better.
She has looked it up. There are both Chinese and Western medicines in the Space Supermarket. Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. She majored in Chinese medicine in school, so she prefers Chinese medicine. First, Chinese medicine can be said to be collected in the mountains. Second, Chinese medicine is mild and does not irritate the stomach, and generally there will be no adverse reactions.
Li Xiaoxiao got up early the next day. As her physical condition was not good, she ran two laps nearby and exercised a little. At the beginning, the exercise time should not be too long, and one should proceed step by step.
After breakfast, I went to Li Quanfu's house. I had agreed with Li Quanfu yesterday that I would come to his house to learn archery today.
Li Quanfu is a hunter, and the thing he has the most is a bow, so he found a slightly smaller one for Li Xiaoxiao to practice with.
Li Dazhuang is still at the same level as yesterday, nine out of ten arrows missed the target, and this has taken him several years of practice. Maybe he really doesn't have the talent for this.
Li Xiaoxiao watched for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Quanfu, can you teach me?"
Li Quanfu readily agreed and taught her some key points and details to pay attention to, and demonstrated them to her personally. Li Xiaoxiao listened carefully, and it was similar to what she had learned before.
Li Quanfu is worthy of being the best hunter in Qinghe Village. He draws the bow and shoots the arrow in one smooth motion, and finally the arrow steadily penetrates the center of the target.
Li Dazhuang was really envious of this archery skill. He quickly ran over to pull out the arrow, leaving room for Li Xiaoxiao to try.
Li Xiaoxiao did not refuse. The bow in her hand was made of wood, light and compact, polished smoothly, with a short range, and was black all over.
She drew the arrow and put the bow on, opened her feet slightly, held the bow in one hand at shoulder level, aimed at the target, and deliberately deviated a few points. She knew her level, but she was just starting out, so she didn't want to stand out too much.
With a "swoosh" sound, an arrow hit the target one centimeter away from the center.
"Xiao Xiao, you are awesome." Li Dazhuang ran over and saw that her shooting was more accurate than his, so he praised her sincerely.
Li Quanfu nodded slightly. Xiaoxiao had just said it and he had remembered it. It was rare to achieve such a result on the first arrow. It was much better than what he had achieved back then. With time, he would definitely be able to surpass him.
Scholar Li, who had nothing to do, was also watching from the side, nodding with a smile.
"You have good aim, try a few more arrows."
"Okay, Grandpa Li." Li Xiaoxiao responded, picked up the bamboo arrow beside him, drew the bow and shot arrows, one arrow, two arrows, three arrows, a total of six arrows. One arrow fell to the ground, one arrow hit the center of the bull's eye, and the other four arrows were also close to the center of the bull's eye.
Scholar Li clapped his hands and cheered, and couldn't help asking, "Girl, have you ever learned archery before?"
"No, this is my first time today. But I often watched Brother Dazhuang shoot arrows before, and I thought it was very easy. Today I tried it and it really was easy. I hit the target easily." Li Xiaoxiao did it on purpose. If she wanted to go hunting in the mountains with Li Quanfu as soon as possible, she had to make others recognize her archery skills.
Old Scholar Li also believed what Li Xiaoxiao said. They were from the same village. Besides, there was no hunter in her family and she had no access to bows and arrows. He felt that this girl was simply gifted in this area.
Archery seems simple, but it is actually not easy. You need to control the strength, grasp the wind direction, and have good eyesight. For example, Li Dazhuang is still not as good as Li Xiaoxiao after several years.
"If only I were like you, my dad wouldn't scold me every day." Li Dazhuang was truly envious.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and joked: "If you weren't lazy, you would definitely be better than me."
Li Dazhuang's face turned slightly red. He was just playful and thought his father would be back soon, so he pretended to shoot a few arrows. Old Scholar Li and Dazhuang's mother turned a blind eye and let him do it.
After practicing for a while, Li Quanfu became more and more satisfied. Li Xiaoxiao's current level is almost the same as when he practiced for two or three years. It's a pity that Xiaoxiao is a girl. If she was a boy, she would definitely be a good hunter in the future.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, it was around 9 o'clock. Li Quanfu usually went up the mountain half an hour earlier than this. He was delayed for a while because of teaching Li Xiaoxiao, but it was not too late. Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was good at archery, he wanted to take her to practice, so he asked her if she wanted to go.
Li Xiaoxiao happily agreed. It would be best if they could go up the mountain one day earlier. Li Dazhuang also suggested to his father that they should go together.
So the group of three, fully armed, each holding a bow and arrow, carrying a full bucket of bamboo arrows and a large pot of water, as well as food for lunch, headed up the mountain.
When hunting in the mountains, iron arrows are actually more effective, have a longer range, and greater lethality. However, in ancient times, the technology was backward, and the iron arrows were heavy and difficult to carry, so most hunters chose bamboo arrows.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Quanfu carefully told the two of them about the dangers they might encounter after entering the mountain, what to pay attention to, and how to deal with them.
Li Dazhuang didn't take it seriously. He would occasionally come to the mountain with his father, and every time he would chatter on and on, paying attention to this and that.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened carefully and observed the mountain at the same time. The mountain was called Jiunu Mountain. It was not very high, but it was very large, continuous, and had beautiful scenery. There were all kinds of wild animals in the mountain. The hunters nearby only hunted outside. The rule passed down from generation to generation in the village was not to enter the deep mountains. The hunters in the village also kept it in mind.
A smile appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's lips. Others didn't dare to do it, but she did.
She has space and a cheating tool, so if she really encounters danger, she will have no problem protecting herself.
The way up the mountain is a fixed route. The hunters in their village all go up the mountain from this road. Li Xiaoxiao evenly applied the medicine powder that Li Quanfu gave him on his body. This is a mosquito repellent medicine. Li Xiaoxiao smelled it carefully. It was a cheap herb with a pungent smell and little effect, but it was better than nothing.
