Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 279, Diwozi
"Your crossbow is not bad, and the steel mouth is also good, where did you get it?" Yang Xiaomeng said when returning the crossbow to Jiang Yan.

"This was made by the workers temporarily. If you like it, I will give it to you after we go down the mountain. However, I have to enjoy it first. I haven't played it yet! You have to teach me."

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Yang Xiaomeng asked Jiang Yan in surprise: "No, why did you think of getting a crossbow before you played it before? I thought you would!"

"It's not that I thought of getting a bow and crossbow because the movement of shooting guns up the mountain was too loud and it was easy to scare away animals."

"Or you scholars have good brains. My old man also has a bow and crossbow. I always feel that I don't have a gun, so I don't bring it."

After Yang Xiaomeng said this, he began to teach Jiang Yan how to use a crossbow. Since Jiang Yan had a basic knowledge of shooting, it was quite easy to learn, and he basically mastered the skills of using a crossbow in a short while.

"You shoot birds with a bow and crossbow first, and then you shoot other animals after you become proficient. Just shoot a few more times."

After walking for a while, the sharp-eyed Yang Xiaomeng saw a pheasant in the grass in the distance, so he gestured to Jiang Yan.Then he pointed to the grass in front of him.

Jiang Yan looked in the direction of his finger and found the pheasant hiding in the grass.

So, Jiang Yan followed Yang Xiaomeng's way of hunting just now and walked over cautiously, then raised the crossbow in his hand.

With a sound of searching, the crossbow shot out, and the pheasant in the grass in the distance fell down.

Xu Damao, who was following Jiang Yan, cheered: "Boss, good arrow skills, hit the mark."

After he said this, he was ready to pick up the pheasants that had been hit.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face happened, and the pheasant that had been hit just now jumped up and flew into the distance.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

Xu Damao pointed at the running pheasant and turned to Jiang Yan with a dull expression: "Boss, this is the pheasant you shot just now. It didn't die! Look, it ran away with an arrow. Its vitality is really tenacious."

At this time, Yang Xiaomeng, who was walking in front, said, "This should be a miss, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is hit by an arrow, it won't be able to run far, and it won't be able to fly."

After he finished speaking, he chased after the pheasant.

The pheasant with arrows in the distance was just like what Yang Xiaomeng said, after a few flutters, it still didn't fly, but rolled and ran to the distance.

Yang Xiaomeng strode over, caught the flapping pheasant, and then twisted the neck of the pheasant that was still alive, and the pheasant did not flap again.

But this scene was seen by Xu Damao, and he shuddered involuntarily, looking at Yang Xiaomeng with a little dodge.

"Hold it! I didn't expect you to hit the pheasant for the first time, which is better than when I was a child." After Yang Xiaomeng said this, he handed the dead pheasant to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan took it, took off the crossbow arrows on the pheasant, and handed the pheasant to Xu Damao who was following behind.

After shooting the pheasant for the first time, Jiang Yan also summed it up in his heart.

The moment I shot the crossbow, my hand shook a little, so I missed the point and the shot missed.

Sure enough, there is an essential difference between hitting a fixed target and hitting a living thing.

Let alone using crossbows and arrows, even if I used a gun to hit living things, I guess I would not be able to perform to my due level. This is a psychological factor. It seems that I still have to practice!
From the first time he hit the prey, Jiang Yan seemed to be on the hook. Except for the first one that was hit by Yang Xiaomeng, the rest of the prey was hit by Jiang Yan, but they were all pheasants and hares. If Yang Xiaomeng hadn't said enough of these small animals, Jiang Yan would probably have caught more of them.

"Oh! Oh my god! I'm exhausted. Boss, can you give me a sip of your water?" Xu Damao, who was sitting on the rock for a temporary rest, panted heavily, shaking himself to be empty. A drop of water came out of the kettle, and asked Jiang Yan who was drinking water.

When Jiang Yan heard Xu Damao's words, he directly handed his water bottle to the poor Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, your body is not good enough! Look at you, you are so skinny, you look like a little chick, you can't do it after walking such a little distance."

Hearing Yang Xiaomeng's words, Xu Damao took a sip of water and gasped for breath, and argued: "Brother Xiaomeng, I have used up all my breastfeeding strength. Our physical fitness is not good, so there is nothing we can do."

"It's better for you to practice less, or else you stay here with my old man for a few months, and I'm sure I'll train you well."

After hearing Yang Xiaomeng's words, Xu Damao's face turned green. If he followed this old man, he would probably be exhausted before he could practice well.

"Farewell, brother Xiaomeng, please spare me! Boss can't do without me, isn't he right?"

Hearing Xu Damao's almost begging, Jiang Yan was able to speak directly: "Forget it, Brother Xiaomeng! He can lie down but not sit. If he can't bear this pain, don't bother the old man."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Xu Damao: "But Damao, you really should practice, so you can run with me every morning! Don't sleep late in the future."

"It's really not good if you don't practice. If Xiaowei didn't help you, you probably wouldn't even be able to get here."

Not long after entering the mountain, almost all the things on Xu Damao's back were on Wei Xiaojun's body, and they were still panting. If it wasn't for Xu Damao's drag, they could go further.

"Da Mao, let's go." Jiang Yan kicked Xu Damao who was pretending to be dead.

The place where Yang Xiaomeng took Jiang Yan and the others was a nest. This nest was built near mountains and rivers. It is usually used as a place for hunters to rest at night. This nest is not big, only the size of an ordinary house. Jiang Yan and the four of them slept.

In order to avoid wild animals coming in at night, the gate of Diwozi is not big, and only one person can pass through at a time.

In front of Diwozi, a stone wall was built with stones by hunters who often go up the mountain. There is a stone house next to the stone wall. The house is not big, only about square meters, and the house is very short, less than The most surprising thing is that there are a lot of soot on the floor of this room, and there are rows of wooden slats as thick as a child's arm.

Jiang Yan just glanced curiously, then went to Diwozi.

The diwozi door is also a simple door made of tree trunks.

It may be that no one has lived in this nest for too long, Jiang Yan and the others have been cleaning it for a long time.

After cleaning, Yang Xiaomeng led them to cut a lot of weeds with sappers and put them in the nest, which can be used as a bed at night.

Jiang Yan took out the pot and teapot from the backpack.

"This thing is so convenient! I never thought of getting a pot and kettle like this."

Yang Xiaomeng took the portable pot and kettle that Jiang Yan took out and looked them over and over again, still praising them.

Jiang Yan sorted out the prey he had caught today and asked Yang Xiaomeng.

"Brother Meng, is there any stream near here? I'll go and clean up the prey."

"Over there, just around the corner, the stream is very sweet."

Hearing Yang Xiaomeng's words, Jiang Yan took Xu Damao to the stream with the prey.

At first, Jiang Yan wondered why he didn't hear the sound of water. He didn't see the sound of water until he got closer. The stream of the stream was very small, only the size of a bowl, and the water flowed very fast.

Jiang Yan took some from the water bottle and took a sip, the water was really sweet as Yang Xiaomeng said.
