I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 10 Luo Douzi
After leaving Luo's house, the two did not rush home, but went into the mountains.
"Sister, why did you choose a bow? I've never used one before, so I need to practice my aim first."
"I use."
Jiang Ming...
What is the eldest sister kidding? Is she going to hunt? Although she looked puzzled, she still unconsciously handed the bow to the hand that was stretched out.
Jiang Yue picked up a feather arrow and placed it on the string. He pinched the string with two fingers and easily pulled the bow to full draw.
"call out--"
The arrow left the string, and only the scream of a bird was heard, and a gray shadow struggled down from the tree.
Why is my elder sister...
Jiang Ming changed from panic to surprise in an instant. He moved away and hurried towards the direction of the fall. A gray bird with an arrow in its wing was struggling and wailing in the grass.
"Big sister, how come you are so accurate?"
"It's natural." Jiang Yue lied. How could he have such accuracy if he hadn't practiced for several years in his previous life?
He took a look at the struggling grey bird, which was about the size of a pigeon, and pulled out the arrow, muttering to himself, "I am not so good at it after all. I need to practice more if my aim is not good enough."
Jiang Ming was curious, so he took the bow and arrow and imitated his elder sister. He tried his best but couldn't draw the bow to the full. The comparison between the two made him feel discouraged. He couldn't even draw the bow to the full, while his elder sister was born with great strength and accuracy.
Just like my grandfather said, my fourth uncle was born to be a scholar, and my eldest sister was born to be a archer.
However, the eldest sister is much better than the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle studied for more than ten years and took the exam three times before he passed the examination to become a student. But the eldest sister had never studied before, but she hit the target in one go!
Carrying the injured gray bird, Jiang Ming followed his elder sister around in the forest. They unexpectedly saw a rabbit, or to be more precise, a rabbit's head that had just appeared.
Jiang Ming was about to draw the bow, but then he thought of his elder sister's archery skills and immediately gave her the bow and arrow: "Elder sister, shoot the rabbit."
Jiang Yue waved her hand and said no, and ran away as fast as a star to find a few rabbit holes nearby, blocked them with stones, leaving only one exit, and asked Jiang Ming to guard it. Then he used thick smoke to fumigate the six rabbits, and all six rabbits ran out.
All the rabbits in the litter were captured alive, two were big and four were slightly smaller, and it was obvious that they were from the same family. They were all plump and had shiny grey fur.
Jiang Ming excitedly tied up the rabbit and hung it on himself, picked up the gray bird and carried a bow and arrow, not letting Jiang Yue take anything. On the way back, he picked a handful of wild fruits, and the two hurried home.
On the way home, Luo Douzi suddenly appeared and stopped the two.
"Are you born with supernatural powers?"
Luo Douzi passed Jiang Ming who was blocking the way and cast an envious gaze on Jiang Yue. He had obviously seen how she drew her bow and shot an arrow just now. He wanted to find Jiang Ming to reconcile, but he saw that Jiang Ming's eldest sister was very strong and had excellent archery skills, so he immediately set his sights on Jiang Yue.
Jiang Ming blocked Luo Douzi's sight, shook the rabbits hanging on his body, untied a small one, and said with disdain: "Whether my eldest sister is born with supernatural powers is none of your business. We agreed to give your family one tenth as a reward. Are you afraid that we will default on the debt? Take you away and don't follow us secretly."
Luo Douzi waved his hand and said, "I don't want the rabbit. How can you repay kindness with enmity? If I hadn't persuaded Grandfather just now, would Grandfather have lent you hunting equipment? Get out of the way. I'm going to find your eldest sister."
When Jiang Ming heard this, he became even more alert: "What do you want from my elder sister? Take the rabbit and leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will beat you up." As he said this, he was about to roll up his sleeves.
Luo Douzi smiled and took a step closer. He used his hand to measure Jiang Ming's height, which was only up to the tip of his nose. He quickly dodged and took a big step back: "You talk as if you can beat me. Forget the bet we made last time..."
"Shut up." Jiang Ming was angry and his face turned red. "I was younger before. Try it now. I'll beat you to pieces." Thinking of what happened a few years ago, if I wasn't younger and weaker than him, how could I lose and be humiliated? I'm not that easy to bully now!
That incident was too embarrassing, and he must not let his elder sister know about it. Thinking of this, Jiang Ming wanted to take off the rabbit on his body and fight with Luo Douzi to avenge his previous humiliation.
Luo Douzi laughed even more wantonly: "Just give it a try. Hurry up and don't delay the business. I have something to say to your elder sister. If I beat you this time, you don't have to drill..."
"You deserve a beating. Don't be so arrogant. Wait until I untie you. I will beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!" Jiang Ming was furious, his face red to his neck. He regretted that he had tied the rabbit too tightly and could not untie it for a while.
Jiang Yue, who was standing behind him, heard that the two of them had a feud, and that the eldest brother was at a disadvantage. Seeing the eldest brother in such an embarrassing state was obviously not a glorious thing, and he didn't want to know it himself. Not to mention that the eldest brother's figure was not as good as Luo Douzi's, and his impatience now would not help him win.
So he walked between the two of them, stopped Jiang Ming who was about to take action, and asked Luo Douzi, "What do you want from me?"
After asking, she carefully looked at the boy in front of her. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his eyebrows and sharp eyes could not be concealed. He looked very handsome. If he were in the future, he would definitely be a beautiful boy. It would be a pity for him to be a hunter, let alone a farmer.
Luo Douzi put away his arrogant face and said seriously: "When are you going to the mountains to hunt? Take me with you and we can cooperate?" Everyone said that Jiang Yue was a fool, but he saw a person with a calm mind, superb archery skills and agility. Just now, the speed of drawing the bow and arrow was beyond the reach of ordinary people. He must have practiced for several years!
As far as he knew, the Jiang family was very strict with the eldest wife, so why would they send their daughter to learn martial arts? He didn't believe that she was a natural born. He was watching from a distance when they were catching rabbits, but he had never seen such agile movements. She was only twelve or thirteen years old. Could it be that she had some adventure before and met a martial arts master who taught her?
This makes sense, but why don't I have the luck to meet the legendary martial arts master?
If Jiang Yue knew what was going on in this boy's mind, he would definitely reply to him that he had indeed met a master, but that was something that happened in his previous life, and he would never meet him again no matter how lucky he was.
Her mentor was an expert in archery, martial arts, and acupuncture. She had studied for two years but had only learned the basics. After her mentor left, she only knew a few common medicinal herbs. In acupuncture, she only learned the acupuncture points on the body. She learned a set of chain punches and practiced them diligently every day, not daring to waste time. As for archery, she became more and more proficient.
During the grazing period, he hunted wild game and cooked for himself, and gradually became stronger. When he grew up, he went to the imperial capital. With his own set of boxing skills and strength, he entered a martial arts hall for combat training. In order to take the exam to become a physical trainer, he worked hard to learn various skills.
"Are you sure? It's very dangerous to go into the mountains, and my brother promised your grandfather not to go into the mountains." Jiang Yue was not sure about Luo Douzi's intention, but after all, he was borrowing hunting equipment from his family, so it was not easy to refuse rashly.
"In the back mountains, we can only hunt pheasants and rabbits to fill our stomachs, but it's hard to make money. There are black bears in the deep mountains, and they are valuable."
Jiang Ming stopped him: "Don't trick my sister into going bear hunting with you. If you don't want to die, go by yourself!"
"We'll talk about this later."
There are few prey nearby, so Jiang Yue plans to go hunting in the mountains, but she wants to go alone to find out more.
Jiang Yue looked at the sky. It was getting late. She was only half full for lunch and was already hungry. It was really terrible. God did not give her enough mental strength, but opened a window for her. Her original body had a big appetite, ate a lot, and had great strength, but she was not smart enough and could not use it.
"Stop pestering my eldest sister."
Jiang Ming warned Luo Douzi harshly, and turned around and changed his appearance:
"Big sister, let's go."
Luo Douzi was not in a hurry and turned around to leave. Hearing Jiang Ming's threat, he felt unhappy and turned around to ask for the rabbit, not wanting to miss it.
On the way back, Jiang Ming kept mumbling to Jiang Yue: "Luo Douzi's father was seriously injured by a black bear and died after being carried home. This kid has been shouting for revenge for many years... Big sister, don't believe him. The rabbits we caught today are fat and can be sold for more than a hundred coins each. Let's eat one and let Dad take the rest to the town to sell tomorrow..."
