After paying the autumn tax, Chen Erlang jumped on his horse, pulled his wife and daughter up, and the pony clattered away from the crowd.

The pony bounced rhythmically, causing the plump buttocks of the person in front of him to jiggle slightly.

Chen Erlang, who was sitting in the back, suddenly felt a little restless.

"How about buying another horse? Wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"

Chen Changfan felt a little depressed.

Instead, Shen Cuiyun's face was full of excitement.

This was the first time she had ridden a horse in her life, and she hadn't been to the county town for many years. She was somewhat yearning for the prosperity of the county town.

Luoluo in his arms was so curious that he grabbed the pony's mane, causing it to grimace in pain.

But it also knew in its heart that it could not afford to offend this inconspicuous little guy.

So I had no choice but to keep on going.

With the help of strength, the journey that originally took half a day was completed in less than half an hour. Before Shen Cuiyun and Luoluo had ridden enough, Chen Changfan had already dismounted.

He quickly straightened the hem of his clothes and led his horse into the city.

He spent a tael of silver to settle his wife and daughter in the inn.

Shen Cuiyun frowned distressedly, "It costs a large sum of money to stay in this inn for one day. Is this bed made of gold?"

Chen Changfan laughed heartily. "One tael of silver gets you ten days of accommodation, plus three meals a day. It's already very cheap."

This is just Qingshan County. If you go to Qinghe County or Yongzhou City, the price will probably be at least ten times higher.

"You and Luoluo can rest in the guest room now. I'm going to do some things and will be back later."

Shen Cuiyun was so tired last night that she hardly slept well, and now she is really a little sleepy.

The little guy had been bumpy all the way and was now fast asleep.

"Erlang, be careful."

Shen Cuiyun glanced at the shiny short thorn on Chen Changfan's waist and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Rest now. Someone will bring you food at dinner time. I will definitely be back in the evening."

I have to do some serious work when I get home tonight...

Chen Changfan kissed Shen Cuiyun lightly on the forehead and strode away.

He took the pony and headed straight to the market.

The reason why he brought his wife and daughter to live temporarily in the county town was mainly because it was closer to Qingshan.

According to his estimation, the underground cave is located somewhere under the Qingshan Mountain. If an entrance can be found, a shelter can be built.

Otherwise, we have to think of another way.

Although the underground river in Jiudaowan can lead directly to the underground cave, this waterway is a bit difficult to travel and cannot transport supplies at all, so a new route must be developed.

Swords and knives cannot be bought and sold in the market, but equipment for farmers and hunters can be purchased.

Chen Changfan came to a stall and his eyes fell on the various longbows on the wall.

Spearguns are powerful, but have a short range and poor accuracy.

If you go into the mountains, you still have to buy a longbow of good quality.

"Sir, would you like to buy a longbow? I have bows ranging from two-strength bows to ten-strength bows. Would you like to try one?"

In the Dawu Dynasty, one force was approximately equal to ten catties, a two-force bow was equal to twenty catties, and a ten-force bow was equal to one hundred catties.

Seeing Chen Changfan's muscular body, the stall owner took out a red longbow and said, "This is a four-strength bow, and this is a bald arrow. You can try shooting at the target."

Chen Changfan didn't know how to shoot arrows at all. It was only after the stall owner gave him some simple instruction that he drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the target ten meters away.

When the stall owner saw Chen Changfan's clumsy movements, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He thought he was just some idle young master who wanted to take advantage of the autumn hunting season to catch some rabbits and show off.

In this county, apart from the hunters, only the children of wealthy families like riding and shooting, and they go to Qingshan for hunting competitions every autumn.

Of course, they are just fancy things that look good but are useless.

Chen Changfan is indeed a show-off now, but he will soon not be.

Directly pour two Encounter Points into [Archery] with your wealth:

In the first year, you were not able to draw your bow and arrow properly. Not only were you often injured, but your arrows often flew wildly.

In the third year, you accidentally hit a rabbit. Thinking you had mastered the art of archery, you forcibly pulled the bowstring, but the broken bowstring severed the tendons in your arm, crippling it.

In the 25th year, you picked up the bow and arrow again. Although your power was lacking, you were able to master the art through steady and careful practice.

In the 38th year, you encountered a giant tiger. After shooting dozens of arrows, you finally killed it. You were deeply moved and your archery skills improved slightly.

In the 58th year, you have become a well-known hunter in the area. You have almost missed your target with your powerful bow, but you also realize that it is difficult for you to improve further.

In the 66th year, you summarized your lifelong archery experience and developed a set of light rain archery techniques, specifically created for small bows. You knew you had embarked on a different path, and your archery skills had reached perfection.

Light Rain Archery, perfected!

It took 66 years to perfect the art of archery. It seems that archery is indeed very difficult.

Moreover, because I have no foundation in this area, the deduction process is prone to go astray.

If I hadn't directly infused two adventure points this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to deduce the Light Rain Archery Technique.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Changfan straightened his body, coordinated the strength of his waist, back and arms, and pulled the four-force bow to half full.

There was almost no need to aim deliberately. His fingers suddenly loosened and the arrow flew out, hitting the center of the target ten meters away.

However, although the arrow was accurate, it lacked a lot of power. The arrowhead bounced off the center of the bull's eye and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Good arrow! ... Uh..."

When the stall owner saw Chen Changfan hit the bull's eye with one arrow, he was about to applaud and praise him, but he found that the arrow was too weak and it even missed the target which was so close.

"Brother, this bow is too hard. Please change it to a two-strength bow for me."

The Light Rain Archery technique focuses on rapid shooting, with an attack as continuous as drizzle. It requires quick bow and arrow shooting, and continuous shooting.

If you use a hard bow, it will limit your performance.

Chen Changfan put down the four-force bow, and the two-force bow was his comfort zone.

The stall owner took out a two-force bow that was one size smaller and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The young man's strong muscles were wasted, he couldn't even pull the four-force bow.

"Brother, I want this bow, and give me two pots of arrows."

Chen Changfan was happily playing with the longbow in his hand, unaware that he was being secretly despised by the stall owner.

"A two-strength bow only costs two strings of cash, but the arrows are not cheap, ten coins each."

The stall owner spread his hands.

Horseback archery is a pastime for the rich. Horses, longbows, and arrows are all expensive.

Horses and longbows are quite durable, but arrows are consumables. One pot of arrows can cost a whole coin.

Which ordinary family can afford it?

"Since it's so expensive, then buy less..."

"Sir, would you like to buy a whole pot or half a pot..."

"Buy less, ten pots first."

After being reminded by the stall owner, Chen Changfan almost ignored the consumption of ammunition.

He is a good person in every way except that he has a fear of insufficient firepower.
