The casual life of the flat space

I don't know what words moved the old hunter's granddaughter, but she finally took away the things that were behind Manager Xiang, and said that she needed medicine, warm clothes and food.

Shopkeeper Xiang felt that there was no movement behind him for a long time. When he slowly turned around and found that there was no one, he suddenly felt his legs weak. But he tried to pretend to be calm and walked back as he came.

Not long after, Manager Xiang asked the steward to find an excuse to get everyone away. He took the things he had prepared and added an extra twenty taels of silver, and put them under the willow tree he mentioned. He did not dare to stay any longer and returned to the camp.

When he was leaving the next day, he went there again for some unknown reason, and found that everything was gone, but there was a bow and arrow on the ground, and a piece of cloth tied to the bowstring. He opened it and saw the words "I don't owe you anything" written on it in the blood of some unknown animal - this was the origin of the bow and arrow.

Shopkeeper Xiang didn't know much about bows and arrows, but he knew that this was definitely a must-have for hunters. He wanted to keep it, but he was afraid that she wouldn't come back and lose it again. So he went back and wrote a piece of cloth and tied it to the grass stem under the willow tree. He told her that he had taken it first, and when she was free, she could go to any Four Seasons Store to find the shopkeeper, leave him a message, and he would come to return the bow and arrow to her.

But day after day, year after year, Chen Yanei was said to have been rescued, and the bow and arrow also came to Shang'an County with him to spend his remaining years. But the old hunter's granddaughter was never seen coming to take it. I guess it might be like what people say: "I don't owe you anything"... I hope so.

This morning, the gift in return stumped Shopkeeper Xiang. He somehow remembered the bow and arrows, so he gave them to Mu Qingqiu. After keeping the bow for a while, he asked someone to look at it. They said it was made of the best material and workmanship, and the shape was different from ordinary bows. If he wanted to buy it, it would cost at least two or three hundred taels. So whether it was for collection or playing, it should be worthy of the gift from Mu Qingqiu.

Back to Mu Qingqiu, Manager Xiang had beautifully packed it in a box, and didn't explain what it was, only saying it was for Brother Qiu to enjoy. But when he opened it at home, Bai Tiexiong saw it, and even his set of Mohele didn't taste good at all, so Bai Tieying was able to "pick up a bargain" and put the set of Mohele in his room.

Dayu's bow usually has a pulling force of 7 dou to 1.4 stone, but Mu Qingqiu knew that this bow was definitely more than 1.4 stone as soon as he got it in his hand. Although he was good at boxing and kicking when learning from his master, he was not bad at bows and arrows, but this did not mean that he did not know how to use them or did not like them.

So, after getting such a good bow and arrow, he immediately asked Bai Tieying to take him to the space to try out the arrows. The indescribable feeling of alienation that Manager Xiang had felt towards him in the past two days also disappeared.

Seeing this, the naughty kid naturally pestered to go too. When they arrived at the space, when Mu Qingqiu carefully took out the bow from the wooden box, the white iron bear finally faced up to his own shortcomings - he was not even as tall as the bow! But this did not stop him from being a follower.

After Bai Tieying sent the people in, he went out to pack up. Mu Qingqiu carried a bow and arrow on his back and wanted to go to the North Mountain, but after he had taken a few steps, his "new toy" was discovered by the "old baby".

"Brother Qiu, Brother Xiong, where are you doing? Oh my god! What is this? Yellow birch...white birch long-stemmed bow? That's not right! How...how come this bow..." A soldier who was called Uncle Qiu by Bai Tieying happened to see Mu Qingqiu, and was attracted by the bow on his back at the second sight.

This bow was different from any bow he had ever seen in his life. Looking closely at the material, it was also made of birch wood, but there was something pasted on both sides, and the birch bark looked like decoration.

Uncle Qiu was an archer himself. If he hadn't broken his leg and hadn't been treated in a hurry after the war and misplaced it, causing him to become lame, he wouldn't have retired at such a young age. Now that he saw a bow he had never seen before, he was naturally itching to do so.

"How's Uncle Qiu?" Bai Tiexiong greeted him obediently as always.

"How's Uncle Qiu! I just got this bow. What do you think of it? I just tried it and it's definitely worth more than 1.4 stone." Mu Qingqiu couldn't help showing off when he saw someone who "knew the goods".

"What? You little bastard...you loser...you...forget it, you dare to pull such a good bow with bare hands? You, you are really going to piss me off to death!" Uncle Qiu was so angry when he heard Mu Qingqiu's operation that he was afraid that he would damage such a good bow.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qiu, I know what I'm doing. I just tried it lightly."

"Where did you get such a novel bow? It looks like an old bow. Not only is the craftsmanship extraordinary, but it is also very well preserved. This bow must be expensive, right?"

"I don't know much about bows and arrows, but I like the way this looks. I don't know the price, but it should be at least a hundred taels, right?" Mu Qingqiu thought about the "generosity" of Shopkeeper Xiang. The pair of glass wine cups he gave away were about the same price.

"One hundred taels? What nonsense are you talking about! I'm willing to buy it for five hundred taels! This bow is obviously not just for show. It has such a unique design but is often used. In addition, you said that the pulling force is over 1.4 stone. This bow must have been made by someone who is very familiar with bows and arrows!"

Bai Tieying's original world had a saying that "professional people do professional things". If Mu Qingqiu knew this, he would definitely agree with it. Just like now, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to use a bow and arrow, doesn't everyone know it? So he changed his purpose and started to learn from Uncle Qiu how to make a bow.

The two chatted enthusiastically, forgetting that there was a "little tail" beside them who was also eagerly learning. Maybe it was his nature, just like Bai Tieying liked the two sets of exquisite Mohelo, Bai Tiexiong took out the spirit of memorizing at this time, and remembered every word of Uncle Qiu firmly in his heart.

When Uncle Qiu found that the little guy remembered everything he said, he was so amazed that he thought this guy was born to be good at archery. He vowed to teach Bai Tiexiong everything he had learned in his life, and immediately took him up the mountain to cut wood for the bow. He said that when his foundation was well laid and the wood was ready, he would make him a bow with a smaller number of dou.

What would Bai Tiexiong do after hearing this? He became more and more obsessed with bows and arrows, so much so that he later missed his studies, and asked Grandpa Wu to teach him "fried pork with slats"... The correction was not corrected, but the practice was transferred from the open to the dark, from the outside of the space to the inside of the space.

Bai Tiexiong's learning journey has just begun, but Mu Qingqiu already has a foundation, so with Uncle Qiu's guidance, Mu Qingqiu can draw the bow completely in a short time, but his accuracy is still very unstable and the number of times he draws the bow needs to be improved. So Uncle Qiu suggested that he practice with an ordinary bow and arrow first, mainly because he was afraid that he would accidentally damage such a perfect bow and arrow.
