Chapter 17 Don't underestimate women

Chapter 17 Don't underestimate women
After Xu Banxia returned home, the Qin family had marinated the remaining wild pork.

It's late, it's still early to make dinner.

Xu Banxia simply went out to find materials to make a simple bow and arrow.

And Liu Dashan and Qin's went to work in the field again.

After finding the necessary materials, Xu Banxia started to make it, but the bow and arrow he made broke with a little force.

Xu Banxia was not discouraged either, she tried two or three times and still failed, so she simply gave up.

I don't know where Ali's bow and arrow came from.

Anyway, there's nothing to do now, or... She went to Ali's house to ask?

If he did it himself, then she asked Ali to help her do it.

If not... then forget it.

Thinking this way, Xu Banxia greeted Liu Wenxiu and was about to go out, but Liu Wenxiu said that he wanted to follow.

Xu Banxia thought about it and took him with him. Ali's house was not very far away, so he arrived shortly after he brought Liu Wenxiu.

Knocking on the door, Ali frowned slightly looking at Xu Banxia who came back not long after returning.

"You came to see me for something?"

"Just to ask brother Ali one thing."

"Come in and talk about something." Ali stood to one side, beckoning her to come in.

However, Xu Banxia did not move. "No need, just at the door, anyway, it's just a sentence or two."

Xu Banxia himself said so, so naturally Ali would not force her. "what ever."

Then, Ban Xia asked straight to the point: "Where did Brother Ali get that bow and arrow? Did you make it yourself? Or?"

"I bought it by hunting prey for money." Hearing Ban Xia's question, Ali was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she was asking for.

Knowing what she wanted to know, Ban Xia thought for a while, then said, "Brother Ali, can I borrow something from you?"

Combining Xu Banxia's question just now, Ali immediately understood what she wanted to borrow. "You want to borrow a bow and arrow from me?"

Ban Xia nodded. "Well, I want to go hunting by myself."

Ali looked her up and down suspiciously. "Can you? Don't be fainted by the ferocious wild boar."

Xu Banxia: "..." Who do you look down on?

"Since I have said this, I will naturally not be afraid."

Hearing this, Ali snorted lightly. "The bow and arrow belong to me. It's up to me to borrow it or not. Why should I lend it to you?"

What Ali said was completely within Xu Banxia's expectation. "I know you won't lend it to me."

"Then you still talk to me like that?" Ali was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, I won't borrow it for nothing, just treat it as me renting it for a day, ten cents a day, do you think it's okay? If you don't think it's okay, maybe you can ask for a price?"

Ali narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't answer immediately, as if he was thinking about it.

Xu Banxia was not in a hurry, waiting for his reply.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you." Ali said 'borrow' instead of 'rent'. "You don't want the ten pennies."

When Xu Banxia heard that he didn't want the ten cents, his eyes lit up suddenly. "Then thank you, Brother Ali!"

Since Ali didn't accept ten cents from her, how could she live up to his good intentions.

Besides, she is a poor ghost now, and ten pennies is quite precious to her.

When she has money in the future, she will return the favor for borrowing the bow and arrow.

Ali: "..." Was she even polite?

Then, Xu Banxia stretched out his hands, his eyes full of anticipation. "Brother Ali, then you can lend me your bow and arrow now."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Ali looked down at someone's hand stretched out in front of her.

"I have to borrow it sooner or later anyway, does it make any difference if it's earlier or later?"

Ali:"……"

Ali didn't say anything, turned around and went in, the door was just wide open.

Xu Banxia knew that he was going in to get the bow and arrow, so he simply stood at the door and waited.

Liu Wenxiu, who hadn't said a word the whole time, spoke out at this moment. "Xia Xia, are you going to hunt in the mountains? The mountains are too dangerous, Xia Xia, don't go there, okay?"

Xu Banxia: "..." Suddenly regretted bringing him here.

"Don't worry, Wenxiu, I'll let Dad go up the mountain with me, okay?"

Liu Wenxiu: "But...but..."

"I promise Wenxiu that nothing will happen, okay? You have to trust me." Xu Banxia communicated with him patiently.

In the end, Liu Wenxiu still chose to believe. "Yeah, I believe in Xia Xia! If Xia Xia says nothing will happen, then it will be fine!"

At this time, Ali came out with a bow and arrow.

Xu Banxia looked at that besides the bow, there were almost a dozen arrows. "Four or five arrows are enough, there is no need to give me that many."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to kill your prey with one arrow." Ali said very bluntly.

Xu Banxia's complexion turned dark when he heard this, isn't this mocking her?
She felt that in the short two days, she had been looked down upon by Ali more than once.

Although she can barely understand his contempt, can you not underestimate her!

Didn't he know that there is a saying: Never underestimate a woman?

Putting away her thoughts, Xu Banxia stared at Ali and took the bow and arrow from him, but she only took five arrows. "Thank you for your kindness. I think five are enough. You can take the rest back."

Ali: "Be kind as the liver and lungs of a donkey."

Xu Banxia didn't answer his words, borrowed a bow and arrow, so she didn't stay too long, said goodbye to Ali, and took Liu Wenxiu away.

Ali snorted, closed the door and went in.

After returning home, she took the bow and arrow into the house and put it away. Xu Banxia began to dump the herbs she had picked from the mountains.

Liu Wenxiu was free, so he stayed with Ban Xia. "Xia Xia, what are you doing with this grass?"

Xu Banxia corrected him while tossing: "This is not grass, this is herbal medicine, which has anesthetic effect."

"What is the anesthesia for?"

Xu Banxia was a little tired: "..."

Forget it, he's still young, so it's useless to say it.

"Anyway, it's very useful." Banxia saw that he looked like he had nothing to do, and said: "Can you write the characters that mother taught you? If you have nothing to do, go and practice."

Liu Wenxiu went obediently. "Good Xia Xia."

Without Liu Wenxiu nagging in her ear, Ban Xia felt a lot cleaner, and it was much faster to make herbal medicine.

After getting enough food, Xu Banxia simply cleaned up and planned to make dinner.

She took the seasoning grass and cleaned it and put it away, preparing for cooking later.

Xu Banxia steamed four buns, chopped water celery and made a pot of porridge.

Before the sun set, Liu Dashan and Qin Shi had already returned from the ground.

Xu Banxia had just finished frying the wild pork when he heard Liu Dashan's voice. "Ban Xia, your mother has fainted, you should go to the doctor!"

Xu Banxia who heard the voice strode out of the kitchen, and saw Liu Dashan enter the room with Qin on his back.
