Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 24 Bows and Shotguns

Seeing Lin Heng's harsh rejection, there was a sound of exhalation coming from behind.

"No, you don't believe me so much?" Lin Heng was speechless when he heard this voice.

"No, we trust you." Father Lin walked out of the yard, and the sound of sticks falling to the ground was clearly heard behind him.

Lin Heng: "..."

You were clearly holding a stick just now, so you thought I was blind.

Fortunately, he didn't go out, otherwise his leg might have been broken by now.

"Let's go back to the house for dinner." Mother Lin said and everyone went back to the house.

Although Xiulan didn't look at Lin Heng, a happy and relieved smile appeared on her face.

What he had for lunch was steamed buns, and the soup was potatoes stewed with dried green beans. Lin Heng couldn't eat it.

The grass carp was cut into pieces, rolled in flour and deep-fried.

"This grass carp is so delicious." Third Dad praised.

"Yes, the meat is so delicate and tastes so good." Sister-in-law Liu Juan also said with a smile.

The whole family was very satisfied, except for Lin Heng, who felt it was just average. After eating a piece, he began to pick out the fish bones and feed his daughter in his arms.

"Baba..."

After eating one, I was still not satisfied. I opened my mouth and asked for the second one, dancing with joy.

"Eat, eat, eat, all for you."

After feeding his daughter, until she stopped eating, Lin Heng made himself a bowl of potato soup and started eating the dough.

"You haven't finished eating yet." While eating, a voice came from outside.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, a smile on his weathered face, and an ax in his hand.

"Uncle, sit down quickly and come over and have a drink." Lin Heng quickly gave up his seat and pulled his uncle to sit on the bench.

This man is Lin Heng's uncle Li Baiquan. Lin Heng's mother's family has a total of six brothers and sisters. The eldest, second, and third are boys, while the fourth, fifth, and sixth are girls.

Lin Heng's mother Lu Hongmei is the eldest sister, the second sister Lu Hongcui married to another village, and the third sister Lu Hongyun married his uncle Li Baiquan.

Li Baiquan looks older than Lin's father, Lin Xian, in his forties, but according to seniority, he has to be called eldest brother.

"I won't sit down, you guys eat. I just ate what I just ate. You brought a letter saying you wanted to build a house and cut down trees, so I came over to help. Just as the seedlings were planted..." My uncle smiled and sat on the bench.

"Drink a little, and then go up the mountain to chop down trees after you finish eating." Father Lin smiled and poured some wine.

"Yeah, don't worry, uncle, you want to eat fish. We were lucky enough to catch it when we came back from the city last night." Lin Heng pointed at the grass carp and said.

His uncle is also a very good person and likes to join in the fun. Whenever anything happens in the village, he will come to join in the fun and help.

Sometimes he would come to join in the fun even if he didn't have to do any work at home. You could say he was warm-hearted, but you could also say he couldn't sit still and liked to wander around.

After two glasses of wine, cheerful laughter suddenly erupted in the hall. Reminiscing about the past and bragging, three old men in their forties were full of energy and told Lin Heng and Lin Yue about their past experiences.

"Second brother, look, there are turtle doves eating dried fish." At this time, Caiyun suddenly spoke up, pointing to the turtle doves still eating fish in the yard.

Everyone in the room became quiet and quietly looked out.

Lin Heng glanced at the turtle dove, walked over and took out the bow and arrow, ready to test his accuracy. The distance was more than ten meters, so there should be no problem.

"Lin Heng, do you know how to use a bow and arrow?" My uncle looked surprised. His family lived on the top of a mountain and he often hunted with a hunting rifle.

When he saw Lin Heng holding a bow and arrow, he was immediately surprised.

Lin Heng said nothing, smiled slightly, took an arrow, and took aim.

With a whooshing sound, the sharp arrow flew out. There was a popping sound first, and then a banging sound. The sharp arrow penetrated the turtle dove and shot into the earth wall for more than ten centimeters.

The effective range of this hunting bow is fifty steps, which is forty to fifty meters. Now the distance is less than ten meters, so naturally one arrow penetrates them.

clap clap clap! !

"Awesome, awesome!!" My uncle Li Baicheng was the first to applaud. “You’re so awesome, Second Dad.” Li Wei, the eldest nephew, ran over and pulled out the arrow, his eyes were full of admiration.

He has almost regarded Lin Heng as a god. Even his mother Liu Juan's eyes changed when she looked at Lin Heng. When did this second-rate guy still have such methods?

"I didn't buy this bow in vain." Father Lin also gave a thumbs up. After seeing Lin Heng's archery skills with their own eyes, everyone was convinced.

"Brother, who did you learn this skill from?" Caiyun asked doubtfully. I had never heard that my second brother could bow and arrow before. This is so amazing.

"I learned it in the city, and then I found out that I have a good talent and can learn it quickly." Lin Heng said with a smile. He is the most familiar with the city. No one in his family has ever been there, so this excuse will not be exposed.

"It's quite useful." Mother Lin praised firmly.

"Lin Heng, you are so powerful. It feels more convenient than a shotgun. Teach me and we can hunt together." Uncle Li Baiquan came over and said with a smile.

The hunting range of native hunting rifles in rural areas is only more than fifty meters, which is similar to that of bows and arrows. The advantage is that the ball killing area is large, which has a very good effect on large prey.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, loading ammunition is very troublesome. If you are not careful, it will easily explode the chamber, and the gunpowder will easily burn yourself. If you shoot small prey, it will be smashed to pieces after one shot.

Bows and arrows are much simpler. They are very useful as long as they are not used against large prey. Even large prey can be killed as long as they hit the vital points.

Small game is no big deal.

Lin Heng is very grateful that he learned related technologies when he was bored in his previous life.

"Of course. Uncle, if you want to hunt pheasants and rabbits, you can use a slingshot. The effect is also very good. I have shot squirrels and pheasants before."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

"You can give it a try." After hearing this, my uncle also became interested.

Sister-in-law Liu Juan also quietly pushed her husband Lin Yue a few times with her feet, signaling him to speak and study quickly. She was keen on Lin Heng's skills.

But Lin Yue didn't speak at all, just smiled and ate his food.

"Second father, I want to learn too." On the contrary, it was his son Lin Wei, who surrounded Lin Heng and shouted that he wanted to learn.

"I brought back a motorcycle inner tube and will make a slingshot for you when the time comes." Lin Heng said without refusing.

After dinner, his father Lin Xuan, eldest brother Lin Yue, third father Lin Xutao, and uncle Li Bai all took axes and went up the mountain to chop down trees for building houses in the afternoon.

Many trees are needed to build an earth house. The beams, floor slabs, and rafters all require large wood, at least fifteen centimeters in diameter.

Acorn trees with a diameter of five to six centimeters are also needed to be used in the earth walls to stretch the steel bars. These trees need to be cut down by themselves.

As for the women in the family, they are temporarily responsible for the unfinished farm work in the fields and taking care of the children.

Lin Heng's whole body was sore and he had no strength to chop down trees. He was going to go hunting in the mountains and drove up the mountain.

As for why I can hunt even though I have no strength and my whole body is sore.

This is the same as a fisherman who works all day the night before, goes to bed at three o'clock, and gets up at five o'clock the next day to go fishing.

My body aches and pains return, what does it have to do with my fishing (hunting)?

Although summer is not a good time for hunting, in order to make more money, the family can live a good life as soon as possible.

He decided to try his luck. It would be good to catch squirrels and pheasants.

"Ouch~"

Xiongba ate a lot of potato dumplings mixed with steamed buns. He had a good appetite. Lin Heng touched its head and made a whining sound.

"It's delicious and will make you healthy." Lin Heng rubbed Xiong Ba's head and said with a smile.

If he hadn't just killed a turtledove, the dog son Xiongba wouldn't be able to eat the nest of corn.
