Transmigration begins with archery training

The dinner table.

Lan Jie'er was in high spirits because of the happy occasion, and for the first time ever, she picked up two pieces of rabbit meat for herself.

Paying all taxes and getting rid of the bully—anyone would be happy.

"Brother Shi".

She looked at her husband with great admiration: "That Qin guy must have heard about your abilities and doesn't dare to mess with us. You're really amazing."

He can even shoot a wild boar dead, no wonder she always thought Brother Shi was so strong!

After dinner, Gu Xinlan habitually sat by the bed waiting, but the other party, unusually, did not enter the room for a long time.

She lifted the curtain and saw Chen Sanshi sitting under the candlelight, intently reading a book.

"Aren't you going to rest earlier tonight?"

Gu Xinlan was a little disappointed, but she still obediently didn't disturb her and went to sleep on her own.

[Skill: Reading (Beginner)]

Progress: (120/300)

[Effects: Radiates energy and improves memory]

Chen Sanshi gently closed the book. After confirming that Lan Jie'er was fast asleep, he tucked a kitchen knife into his waistband, slung a longbow over his back, and tiptoed out of the house, disappearing into the night.

……

Brothel.

"Grandpa, why don't you just stay here for the night? Why go back?"

"Get out of here, Grandpa has things to do!"

Qin Xiong pushed away the prostitute who tried to stop him and staggered out of the brothel.

He's not stupid; the price tripled for an overnight stay.

The family's money can't be wasted; it has to be saved to give gifts to my younger brother.

He lost his parents at a young age and raised his younger brother by selling steamed buns. Later, he made a name for himself and saved up money to send his brother to Tianyuan Martial Arts School, the best martial arts school in Poyang County.

But learning martial arts is really too expensive.

Registration fees, apprenticeship fees, and medicine costs go without saying, but to truly receive the master's teachings requires an even greater expense.

The old folks at the martial arts schools in the county town basically only pass on their skills to their own sons or their sons' disciples; outsiders simply can't learn the real secrets.

His brother was no exception.

I've been practicing martial arts for over three years, but I still haven't learned the complete techniques.

Fortunately, the younger brother is close to the young master, who is a lecherous devil. If he brings more beautiful women over, there might be a chance to learn the true teachings.

"Speaking of which, that young lady surnamed Gu is really beautiful!"

"His appearance doesn't look like that of someone from the countryside at all."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Qin Xiong felt aggrieved whenever he thought about it.

He even had to apologize to the man surnamed Chen.

However, this is only temporary.

Once his brother has some free time, what does a hunter amount to?

No matter how skilled someone is, can they be more skilled than someone who practices martial arts?

When the time comes, I'll let my brother kill that guy surnamed Chen on the mountain, and I can even keep the young women in his family for myself!

"Hahaha!"

Thinking of the young woman's round, millstone-like buttocks, Qin Xiong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"call--"

A gust of cold wind swept by, sobering him up considerably.

Looking around, I realized that I had unknowingly walked out of the city. It was pitch black all around, and the occasional cawing of crows in the distance made the night seem even more silent.

"Ha, I'm getting more and more timid!"

For some reason, Qin Xiong felt uneasy all day, as if someone was following him.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and was about to go home when suddenly another gust of wind blew from behind him.

The wind was very thin and sharp, blowing directly onto the back of my head with a bone-chilling cold.

The "wind" pierced into the back of my head and emerged from the top of my head, as if a horn had grown out of my forehead.

Qin Xiong fell straight down and never moved again.

……

"It's not enough to vent my anger!"

Chen Sanshi emerged from the woods in the distance and went to examine the body.

When martial artists fight, they use swords and knives to block the way and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

He simply pulled the bowstring from a distance, and it was all over. He didn't even need to use the kitchen knife he brought. The process was too quick, making the man surnamed Qin die too easily.

"Never mind, it's because I'm kind-hearted."

Chen Sanshi found about three taels of silver on the corpse.

"That's all?"

"This scoundrel is a menace to the village, yet he makes at least several dozen taels of silver every year. Where did all that money go?"

"Is his brother's martial arts training that expensive?"

After pocketing the silver, he began to think about how to dispose of the corpse.

The body has arrow wounds; it certainly cannot be left here.

Within a radius of several dozen miles, there are only a handful of hunters.

Cutting off the head separately would make the blood all over the body, which would be even more difficult to handle.

"Just throw them up the mountain!"

Chen Sanshi carried the corpse on his back.

With its light-as-a-feather-like movements, carrying a dead body did not slow it down at all.

In just one hour, he arrived at Erchong Mountain, dumped the body in a secluded forest, and returned to his home in Yanbian Village before dawn.

Lying down beside the sleeping Lan Jie'er, Chen Sanshi let out a long sigh of relief.

"I've rid my fellow villagers of a scourge!"

"I just don't know if his younger brother will come knocking on our door."

"I need to learn martial arts as soon as possible!"

He has no regrets.

Given Qin Xiong's character, an apology is only temporary. Once his younger brother gains power, he will definitely make up for it tenfold.

Rather than sitting idly by, it's better to strike first.

……

The next morning, the rooster crowed to announce the dawn.

Chen Sanshi, as always, got up early to practice archery.

Once archery skills are mastered, the rate at which proficiency increases drops drastically.

Because the bow was too light.

He can now draw a bow with a stone weight; a four-strength bow would have no training effect whatsoever.

"Heavy bows are not easy to obtain."

"Even martial arts schools dare not keep it privately, otherwise it would be considered treason."

"Besides needing a heavy bow, it's time to put martial arts training on the agenda."

"..."

Chen Sanshi silently planned out his next steps, while Gu Xinlan called for breakfast.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

He sat down absentmindedly, and as soon as he picked up the cornbread, the sound of gongs and shouts rang out from the village.

Government!

Chen Sanshi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

"It couldn't be because of Qin Xiong that he died just one night."

"He doesn't deserve such a grand display; something else must have happened."

really.

The county police officers shouted at the top of their lungs, calling out to the entire village to announce a major event.

A barbarian warrior infiltrated Poyang County and assassinated the county magistrate.

The whole village was in an uproar.

The county officials came to search for the assassin's whereabouts.

After gathering all the villagers together, the police began searching house to house, and only left reluctantly after a long and arduous search.

"The county magistrate has been killed."

Gu Xinlan whispered, "I remember this magistrate was only transferred here less than two years ago. It seems that being an official isn't easy."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi watched the constables gradually disappear and felt something was strange.

Why would a barbarian warrior kill a county magistrate?

The troops responsible for guarding the border are the garrison troops, not the county government. If they want to attack, they should kill the best soldiers in the army.

"never mind."

"None of my business."

Chen Sanshi shook his head, lamenting that the world was becoming increasingly chaotic, which only fueled his desire to make money.

With money, one can enhance their own strength and protect themselves in this chaotic world.

After hastily filling his stomach, he shouldered his bow and arrows and went hunting in the mountains.
