A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 22 Archery
"Come on, this is not our house, let's go, let's go cook first, and then take you to catch the bunny after dinner." Pulling Zhao Mu home, Li Xi made up his mind, since Zhao Mu is a hunter If the skills of the good players are not wasted, it is better to go hunting in the mountains. Hunting the prey can not only improve their food, but also sell them in the nearest town. When the time comes, it can save some money for the family, and she does not force him to do so. No matter how big the animal can be, it would be good to catch a few pheasants and rabbits.

After a busy morning, Zhao Mu was also hungry. As soon as he heard about eating or something, two roars came from his stomach, which was quite loud. Then wash your hands and start cooking. Although their family is not in the situation of worrying about the last meal, it is not bad. All rations should be saved. This noon, she made some cornmeal I made a few steamed buns, steamed them, scooped some rice and cooked some porridge. I was so hungry that I couldn’t eat dry ones, so I had to mix them together.

After lunch was settled, Li Xi really started to act. Since she finally had some hope and couldn't give up, she and Zhao Mu took care of her and took care of them immediately, bringing water and dry food, and also took what seemed to be Zhao Mu's previous hunting experience. The tools are turned out.

"Do you know how to shoot now?" Li Xi asked Zhao Mu looking at the worn-out bow and arrow after digging it out from the firewood room next to the kitchen, fanning the ashes over and over again.

Li Xi felt a little inappropriate, stepped forward to take the bow, and then gasped fiercely in a very useless way, this bow is really heavy.

Slap all the ashes off the bow, revealing the original shape of the bow. It is not a very good bow, but it is very heavy. It is obviously specially made according to the height of a big man like Zhao Mu. Pointing at the bow, Li Xi said: "Take it up." try."

Zhao Mu has been obediently watching Li Xi's movements, his eyes flickered when he saw the bow, and after hearing what he said, he happily stepped forward, watched Li Xi's gaze, and took the bow that was still struggling with his hands with both hands. At first, she really rolled her eyes when she saw her, she really is a real example of well-developed limbs and simple mind.

Zhao Mu flicked the bowstring a few times casually, Zhao Mu tried his hand, then turned around and looked at Li Xi eagerly, the latter didn't quite understand at first, but he understood again in a flash, and asked in surprise, "Do you want an arrow?" Zhao Mu didn't Li Xi didn't care about the answer. He squatted down and searched among the pile of sundries. His hard work paid off. After searching for a while, he finally found two arrows. There were originally three arrows. But that one is broken, so it can't be used, but it's just broken. The arrow is still good. It's okay if the shaft is replaced again, and it will be used later.

"Come on, try shooting at the tree over there and see if you can hit it." Li Xi handed over the arrow and said very expectantly.

Zhao Mu took the two intact arrows without hesitation, and just casually thrust them into the ground, then brushed the tail feather of one of the arrows with his hand, and with a flip of his hand, he put on the bow, stepped forward with his front foot, and exerted force with his back foot, Pulling the bow to the full moon is full of posture, and the breath of the whole body is emitted at the same time, which makes Li Xi feel a sense of wonder.

'咻'~
The fingertips were loose, and after drawing the bow, the arrow shot out quickly, pointing straight ahead, as if driving forward without any hesitation, Li Xi stared at the arrow with his mouth wide open slightly, and the arrow made a soft 'bang' Hit the obstacle, the audience is silent.

Li Xi slowly closed his mouth that was about to scream in surprise, then squinted his eyes and glanced sideways at Zhao Mu, and after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched and looked at him speechlessly for a moment, finally resigned to his fate, walked slowly over and thrust him obliquely. The arrow on the ground was pulled out, and I couldn't help complaining in my heart. This man is quite strong, and the arrow hits the ground quite deep, but the aim is really... Seeing that the big tree deviates ten times from the original target. The distance of many meters made her feel chilly. It seemed that she shouldn't let him shoot any arrows.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look in the mountains." Although Zhao Mu gave up on letting Zhao Mu shoot arrows, Li Xi felt that hunting was still necessary. If the weapon was useless, then set up a trap. This kind of slip-knot trap It's not difficult, but it depends on whether there are stupid people coming to the door.

He took Zhao Mu out of the courtyard door, turned around and locked the door. In fact, it is estimated that even a mouse may not come to visit this house now. Shaking his head, Li Xi walked forward to identify the direction, and then walked with Zhao Mu to the mountain along a small path. Go, I just finished lunch at this time, probably many people are still resting at home, so I didn't meet anyone along the way, of course it was because they were a little bit off, walking on the ridge of the field Li Xi looked at the ground The land that was planted with crops, I thought of the village chief who said that Zhao Mu had three acres of land. He said that it was just in front of his house. , Next time I see the village head, I'll ask again.

"We don't go to the depths, just look around, you have to be smart, and jump on the living ones, you know, that's our future rations." Li Xi pulled the thatch on the mountain again and again, ready to make a few A simple slip-knot, Zhao Mu, who was helping by the side, couldn't help but reminded.

"En, umm." Zhao Mu mowed the grass with a rusty kitchen knife, and kept moving his head.

Li Xi had no choice but to forget it, and play it by ear later.

After making a few sets, Li Xi took Zhao Mu and put them all in a hidden jungle. After seeing that there was not even a bait, he opened a piece of something he was holding from his arms. Wotou, twisted a little bit and sprinkled it in the cover, and then tidied up the surroundings so that no one could see the signs of someone's movement at a glance. After that, I remembered several places firmly before taking Zhao Mu away.

"It depends on our luck." Li Xi said, but this is not the end, the trick is the trick, and Zhao Mu's ability must be fully used.

"Look where there are rabbits and pheasants, let's catch two and go home." Li Xi, who was all over the mountains and plains, had no clue, poked Zhao Mu and said.

Zhao Mu also looked at Li Xi eagerly, and he knew what the hell.

Couldn't help sighing, Li Xi touched Zhao Mu's forehead and smiled wryly, "Don't you still have your hunting instinct? Let's think about how we used to catch little rabbits."

It seems that he likes Li Xi to touch his head, so Zhao Mu kindly squatted down so that she could touch it better, and he kept rubbing his head against Li Xi's palm, looking very comfortable and relaxed. The latter couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, why did he feel more and more like he was raising a big dog or something.

Just when Li Xi was having a headache and thinking about what to do with this thing, there were a few chirps behind them and the sound of flapping wings. She looked at it quickly, and was overjoyed, it turned out to be a gray pheasant Flew out from the jungle.

"Wood, wood, hurry up, grab it quickly, we will rely on it for our future food, otherwise we will have nothing to eat." Knowing that it is impossible to speak nicely to this guy, it is better to just pick up what he can understand.

Zhao Mu's eyes were fixed, and he blinked and murmured: "Eat."

"Yes, it's our meal ticket." Li Xi nodded fiercely, his eyes serious.
