Chapter 27 Buying Bows and Arrows

Today's morning exercise is half an hour, because bean sprouts are going to be sent to the town today.

Uncle Zhou took all five baskets of bean sprouts. He looked at them and said, "It's 330 Wen in total. This is copper money. Please keep it."

Xia Yingying put away the copper coins and asked, "Uncle Zhou, is there any bow and arrow seller in our town?"

Uncle Zhou looked at Xia Yingying, this child gave him an unusual feeling, like a lady from a rich family.

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "There really isn't a bow and arrow shop in the town, but I know there is a place that sells them. Follow me."

Before the restaurant was ready for dinner, Uncle Zhou led them through a few alleys, finally knocked on the door and said: "This family used to be a hunter, and the craftsmanship was passed down from the ancestors, and their old man made bows and arrows. "

Sure enough, an old man came out of it. He saw Uncle Zhou smiling and said, "Old Zhou! Long time no see! Come in..."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Isn't this introducing you to business? How is your business now?"

The old man shook his head, sighed and said, "This business is not easy! There are too many people collecting leather, and there are too few good leather."

Uncle Zhou said: "This is your Uncle Tu. He used to be a hunter, but now he has switched to leather business. If you hunt good things, you can send them directly. His price is higher than our restaurant."

Uncle Tu looked at these children and said, "Old Zhou! What are you talking to these children? With their small bodies, is it possible that they can still hunt? Stop joking."

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the children, they hunted the two wild boars last time."

"Huh? Those two wild boars were hunted by them, yo! That's underestimated!" Uncle Tu smiled and cupped his hands and said, "If you catch prey, you can send it to me. The price will definitely satisfy you."

Xia Ying hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, old man, we came this time to ask if you have bows and arrows for sale at home?"

Uncle Tu laughed loudly and said: "Of course there are bows and arrows. Come and see, go to the backyard to have a look. Not only are there bows and arrows, I also have a lot of tools for making traps."

Sure enough, the house was full of tools for making traps, and Uncle Tu took them to the warehouse again, only to find that the walls in the warehouse were covered with bows and arrows.

The boys stared straight at each other, Xia Ying swallowed and said, "It's so beautiful!"

Xia Yingying picked up a bow and arrow, and pulled it straight away, which shocked Uncle Tu: "This little girl is pretty good, she has something, and her hands are really strong."

Xia Yingying said with a smile: "You have praised me. To be honest, your craftsmanship is really good. What's the price of this bow and arrow?"

Uncle Tu said: "I usually sell the bow and arrow in your hand for one or two taels of silver, but since it was brought by Lao Zhou, it will be a little cheaper, [-] Wen."

"Hiss..." Xia Lang took a breath.

Xia Yingying picked out all the bows and arrows in the room again, and finally bought three, which cost two taels and 400 Wen.

When they got to the street, Xia Xiong was completely stupid. They actually bought three bows and arrows and spent so much money. If Zheng Jinhua knew about this, would they cry to death?

Xia Yingying didn't want to buy bows and arrows either, but thinking of the possibility of conscription by the end of this year, she became ruthless again.

She bought another 50 catties of rice at a cost of 300 Wen. The food price seemed to have risen a bit. She bought some seasonings and even made a pot of soy sauce before slowly returning home.

The brothers stared wide-eyed, Xia Ying pushed Xia Xiong, and Xia Xiong muttered: "Yingying, do we buy a little too much? I...I'm afraid..."

Under the sun, Xia Yingying smiled brightly and said: "Then second brother should practice archery a lot, your archery is good, we can get back the money easily."

Xia Xiong's eyes lit up, he grinned and said, "That's right! With bows and arrows, we can go deep into the mountains and hunt that kind of big prey, and we'll get rich soon."

Xia Ying supported her forehead, and sighed in her heart, this second child is a fool, she originally wanted him to persuade Xia Yingying to save money, but now it's all right, she was directly taken into the ditch.

After arriving home, Zheng Jinhua stared blankly at the bows and arrows on their backs and said, "Why did you buy this thing? Isn't this what rich young masters like to play with?"

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "Mom, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes, I'll cook it now." Zheng Jinhua rushed into the kitchen when she heard that she was hungry, so she couldn't care about anything else.

Xia Ying just put the rice into the kitchen. Xia Hu swallowed when he saw the bows and arrows on their backs and said, "Sister, I also want to learn archery."

This is too handsome, right?Don't doubt the fatal attraction of bow and arrow to boys.

Xia Yingying nodded and said: "For a while, let's start practicing at home."

Back when she was the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, the martial arts instructors she hired were all first-class.

So this bow and arrow is also learned very well, more than enough to teach them.

Several people had a hasty lunch and rested for a while before Xia Yingying led them into the yard and said:
"Shooting expensive type is upright, wide crotch and chest are relaxed, five levels and three supports are its ancestors, based on the weight of a thousand catties, it should be peaceful and elegant when opening, and it should be calm and calm when it is released. hit.

Two feet, two hands, two elbows, two shoulders and the five levels of the sky, the ear listens to the string, the arrow rests on the mouth and the string rests on the chest. "

Xia Yingying picked up her red bow and arrow, then slowly drew the bow and said: "It must be like what I am now, see?"

The brothers were eager to try, Xia Yingying said with a smile: "We will learn how to draw the bow today, the posture is very important, brother, you come first..."

Xia Ying slowly drew the bow, Xia Yingying adjusted his posture a few times and said, "Not bad..."

It was Xia Xiong's turn, Xia Xiong "tui" two mouthfuls of saliva on his hands, Xia Yingying frowned when he saw it, she said lightly: "Second brother, don't spit on your hands, it's unhygienic."

"Ah? What is unhygienic?"

Xia Ying kicked his ass directly and said: "It's your actions that make people hate you, don't you feel disgusted?"

Xia Xiong nodded and said: "Then I will start..."

Xia Yingying watched Xia Xiong's movements, and nodded. This second brother really has roots, especially in martial arts and archery.

Xia Xiong laughed loudly with a bow and arrow: "Am I not bad? Hahaha, I am a genius. If I really go to the battlefield, I will definitely be the fiercest in the barracks."

Xia Yingying looked at Tiandao:

"Second brother, it's not even night yet! Why did you start daydreaming?

Our bow and arrow are the lightest kind. A real archer can draw 3-4 crossbows. Ours... is 1 crossbow. "

It's not that Xia Yingying wants to hit him, but that a real archer can really shoot through Yang with a hundred steps.

Xia Xiong immediately fainted, Xia Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said: "How about we buy a second stone bow after you practice this one well?"

Xia Xiong nodded immediately.
