C3 (1/2)
The snowflakes were still gently drifting about, but Bei Feng's was much gentler. The snowflakes were not large, nor were they dense. They were like pure white feathers or crystalline willow catkins. They danced slowly in the wind like beautiful snow fairies.
”Come on, let's go hunt.”
Early in the morning, Yang Bao started to shout, urging his mother to make breakfast and was about to go hunting. He woke up in the morning and prepared hunting gear for Yang Lin. He even borrowed a horse for Yang Lin, the three of them are each a horse.
Yang Bao was truly a considerate person, but when he saw that Yang Lin was a weak scholar, he especially borrowed a softer bow for Yang Lin. Yang Lin held the six stone strong arch in his hand and looked at it carefully. Compared to the one in Yang Bao's hands, the arrowhead was indeed thinner by half. Since he could pull the Young people apart in the village, he had the strength to do so as well. It was likely that he could do the same as well.
”Alright, let me try.”
Although he hadn't learned how to shoot, he had seen the competition on television. It shouldn't be difficult for him to do so. Yang Lin stood up straight, his left hand holding onto the bow and arm, while his right hand holding onto a Arrows. He held onto the bow tightly and nocked it onto the bowstring, then raised the bow and arrow, aimed at the mountain in front of Yang Hu's home.
”Whap.”
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang through the air, shocking the sparrows on the tree, causing them to fly up one by one. The drifting snowflakes danced chaotically, the six stone strong arch's arms were broken into two, shocking Yang Lin, causing him to stand there dumbly. The Arrows was still obediently holding the broken arrowhead in its hands.
”Heavens, you actually broke it?!”
Yang Hu ran over and snatched the broken bow away from him. He opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, even Yang Hu's father looked at Yang Lin in disbelief. Yang Bao even suspected that Yang Shun had lent him a rotten bow.
”No way, big brother, you actually broke a six stone strong arch? Everyone uses six stone strong arch, there aren't many who can use eight stone strong arch and ten stone strong arch. Try my bow again. Let me tell you, in the entire ten thousand people, there are less than ten people who are capable of using twelve stone strong arch. ”
”Is that so?”
Yang Lin himself did not know what was going on either. Although he did not lose out in terms of physical strength and his own strength was great, it would not be easy for him to break a strong arch. He caught Yang Bao's twelve stone strong arch and weighed it in his hand before putting it back on the bowstring again.
Looking at the target in front of him, Yang Lin spotted a big tree. Such a big target, he shouldn't miss, right? He suddenly pulled on the bowstring and the bow immediately bent backwards. As Yang Lin used more strength, the bow arm became more and more bent, more and more bent …
”Wait …”
Just as Yang Lin was about to release the Arrows, Yang Bao suddenly raised his hand high up and shouted. Yang Lin immediately released the bowstring in his hand and turned around. The three Yang family members gaped their mouth and looked at Yang Lin with eyes filled with fear.
”Oh my god, I've lived for more than forty years. I've never seen anyone who could pull the Twelve Stone Bow to such an extent. Our family is also quite strong in this area. It seems that you are even stronger than us.
Yang Hu's father could not believe his eyes. This strong arch was made of twelve stones, how could it be a toy in his hands? He took Yang Bao's strong arch, personally pulled it, and gave it to Yang Bao. Then, he sized Yang Lin up once again, and shook his head with a bitter smile.
”I didn't think that a scholar like you, who looked weak, would have such strength.” The twelve stone strong arch s are the strongest bow and arrow, we can never find a harder one. ”
Yang Lin only wanted to shoot a little further, so he didn't use too much strength. He could not help but look at his own hands. They were still the same hands, but there were no changes. Could it be that after his body was reconstituted, his strength had increased?
”Then let's go borrow a twelve stone strong arch. As long as it can hunt, I'll be careful not to break it again.”
”Hehe, big brother, do you think that these twelve stone strong arch are as easy to borrow as these six stone strong arch? There aren't many people in our area who use strong arch s, even if we want to buy one, we have to first go to the county city to order, and only then can we get them at this time next year. ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Hu actually started laughing, and his words carried a bit of pride, but also a bit of helplessness. Unexpectedly, he picked up a big brother. He thought he was a weak scholar, but he turned out to be a mighty warrior. If he were to fight again in the future, he would definitely be a good helper.
”Oh, does it take that long to make a bow?”
”Yes, making a set of strong arch, from picking materials, to drying, then to making a shape, drying, and finally painting, will take at least a year. For a moment, I really cannot find a suitable strong arch. ”
Yang Hu's father explained the process of making a bow to Yang Lin. Only then did Yang Lin realize that making a work of art was actually so complicated. It seemed that he could only borrow a softer bow for his own use. If he had the chance in the future, he would go and customize another strong arch.
”Then forget it, let's borrow a flexible bow.”
”Wait, Father, doesn't the Yang Mansion have a type of 24 stone longbow? We will go to the Yang Mansion to borrow it. ”
Yang Bao suddenly remembered, and immediately told his father. Unexpectedly, his father's face suddenly turned warm and angry. He glared at Yang Bao fiercely, causing Yang Bao to stick his tongue out in fright. Yang Bao's father hesitated for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
”Sigh, if I wanted to lend it to you, then go hunting. I won't be going, I'll rest at home today.”
”Alright, let's go then.”
Yang Hu led the horse and gave the horse reins to Yang Lin. This made Yang Lin very nervous. He had never ridden a horse before, and looking at the horse, he felt a little scared. The horse was only covered with a quilt, and there was no place to squat.
”Big brother, don't worry and ride. This horse is honest.”
Seeing Yang Hu and Yang Bao leaping onto the stage, Yang Lin couldn't let them laugh at him either. He gritted his teeth and jumped onto the stage. To be honest, this horse was extremely obedient. After Yang Lin rode on it, it actually did not move at all. Only after Yang Hu and Yang Bao's horses had moved, did it follow them.
”Yang Hu, Yang Bao, uncle doesn't seem to be happy that we are going to the Yang Mansion to borrow bows and arrows.”
When Yang Bao said that he wanted to borrow a bow and arrow from the Yang Mansion, Yang Hu's father was already very unhappy. Yang Lin was puzzled, but when he thought about Yang Hu's father's attitude towards the Uncle Cheng yesterday, Yang Lin felt that he was not very intimate with the Uncle Cheng. He didn't know what grudges they had exactly, and didn't want to cause any trouble. Yang Hu and Yang Bao looked at each other, as if they did not want to talk about the past. However, when they saw the look in Yang Lin's eyes, Yang Bao finally spoke.
”My father was originally the head of the household in the Yang Mansion. Ten years ago, when the Master Yang died, he left the Yang Mansion. We don't know why Dad quit. He never told us. Ever since he returned home, he had never brought up the matters of the Yang Mansion. Even towards Uncle Cheng, he tried his best to avoid them. ”
No wonder, so his father was the head of household servant, it must be related to the death of Master Yang. Ten years, he should have already forgotten the grudges, for Yang Lin suddenly started to care about the Yang Mansion.
”Oh, tell me about the Yang Mansion.”
”The Yang Mansion is currently run by a Madam. The Master Yang has a Madam and two concubines, but only the Madam has one daughter. After the death of Master Yang, the two concubines went back to their parents' home to remarry, leaving the two of them relying on each other for survival. The young miss was 17 years old this year, and her name was Yang Juan.
This is a good opportunity, how about I become the home son-in-law? Not only could she pick up a wife, but she also had to leave behind a large amount of wealth. Haha, isn't this kind of thinking a bit despicable?
”Uncle was the head servant before, his kung fu must be very strong, did you two brothers learn kung fu from him?”
