Chapter 62
The children also woke up at this point.
After having breakfast and taking a rest, Dalang and Erlang couldn't help but go out and run around the village twice.
Sanlang and Si Niang are only five years old. Qin Yao does not recommend that children start practicing martial arts at this time, so as not to hurt their foundation.
So it was arranged for the two of them to read by themselves in the morning, which was the Tang poems she wrote on the wooden board.
Only by reading it day after day and deepening your impression can you remember it.
Dalang is very serious about running the village, and he is not lazy at all.
Erlang was different. When he was tired from running, he just sat on the side of the road picking grass and playing, reciting the nine-nine-nine multiplication formula taught by Qin Yao.
But he also wanted to learn Qin Yao's Kung Fu, and the requirement for learning Kung Fu was that he had to complete basic training, which was too difficult for him.
Dalang wanted to learn the skills from his stepmother. He knew that he was not as smart as Erlang, so he only wanted to do one thing well.
Knowing that Qin Yao was going to hunt in the mountains today, Da Lang begged her to wait for him before going out, and wanted to go up the mountain with her after he finished his morning exercises, so he ran extra fast.
After Dalang finished running two laps, Erlang was still sitting on the field ridge debating whether to give up martial arts practice.
Da Lang looked at his younger brother, shook his head helplessly, and went home first.
Liu Ji has already gone to look for old man Liu and the others with a sickle.
Qin Yao was preparing hunting tools. Seeing Dalang return, she asked the twins not to go to the river without permission, and the two went out together.
He just wanted to get some meat for dinner in the evening. Qin Yao had no intention of going deep into the forest, only staying on the outskirts of the forest.
Spring is the season when all things come to life. The ground is covered with green grass and there are many small animals active in the forest.
The villagers and half-children in the village also like to set some simple traps in the outlying woods. Occasionally, if they are lucky, they can catch rabbits, gophers and other little guys to give their family extra meals.
But because people appear from time to time, the animals here are very keen. When people get close, they will run away very fast. It is not easy to catch them.
At least in Da Lang's view, it was almost impossible to catch these trotting and fast guys.
But it couldn't be easier to change this matter to Qin Yao.
He didn't see clearly how she did it. Dalang was just about to say that there was a bird over there when he heard a scream of "chirp" and the bird he wanted to say fell from the tree.
"This..." Da Lang was a little confused.
"Go pick it up." Seeing him standing still, Qin Yao reminded him aloud.
"By the way, pick up my steel ball. It should be near there. It's silver. If you bend down and look up, there will be reflected sunlight." Qin Yao taught him.
This has something to do with the refraction of light. Qin Yao thought about it, and by the way, he talked about a few more practical skills related to light, and it was like taking students to practice outdoors.
Hearing this, Da Lang felt that he still had a long, long way to go before he could truly practice martial arts.
The stepmother said that she would not teach her martial arts until she understood these basics.
Dalang had no choice but to remember what she said first, and then practice it when he had the opportunity to see if it was really the case.
He picked up both the sparrow and the steel ball. Qin Yao threw the sparrow into the small bamboo basket diagonally across his body, and the two continued to look for the next target.
Dalang brought the bamboo baskets to pick wild fruits here, which means that there will be many fruit trees in this forest.
Birds like to eat fruit the most, so they gather here and fly around, which happens to be a ready-made target.
In this kind of place, bows and arrows are completely unnecessary, and Qin Yao only needs to use a slingshot.
As long as the birds that came into her sight were slightly larger, they would not escape the fate of being shot down by the marbles.
Dalang only remembered that he was running here and there for a while. When he looked down, he didn't pick a single fruit in the bamboo basket. Instead, it was full of various birds. It was heavy, weighing almost twenty kilograms.
Seeing that Qin Yao was still searching, Da Lang reminded, "Auntie, there are already enough."
"Is that enough?" Qin Yao came over with a slingshot, and she warmed up.
Dalang nodded heavily and lifted the heavy bamboo basket to show her that it was already full.
"Okay, let's go back, stop by the river to catch some fish, and cook some fish soup tonight."
Dalang looked forward to it all.
Even on the way back, I couldn't help but look at Qin Yao's slingshot pinned to his back, thinking, if only he could use it to shoot birds.
"Do you want to try it?" Seeing the young boy's thoughts, Qin Yao turned around and asked with a smile.
Dalang didn't expect his little thoughts to be seen through, so he waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "No, it would be bad if it gets damaged."
Qin Yao didn't try to persuade her anymore, her slingshot was really not suitable for children, it was too lethal.
"I'll make you a wooden slingshot when I get back to work." There is still beef tendon at home, so make it a child's play, be safe.
The little boy's eyes lit up, he ran two steps to catch up with her, looked at her and asked: "Really? Make me a wooden slingshot?"
Qin Yao nodded, "Usually you can pick up some round pebbles and hoard them as bullets, but don't point them at anyone who is weaker than you."
"I teach you martial arts to protect yourself, not to bully others." Qin Yao warned seriously.
Da Lang nodded heavily, "I know, I won't."
Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, showing two pointed canine teeth, silly.
"Auntie, when are you free?" He still couldn't help asking, because he was looking forward to it and wanted to get it soon.
The two of them had reached the river. Qin Yao signaled him to wait on the river bank and pick a branch of suitable length and thickness to make a harpoon from the grove. "It will take two days." He rolled up his trouser legs and got into the river.
The river flowed over her calves, and the current was relatively fast, but she still stood there firmly, as if the force of the entire river could not knock her down.
At this station, Qin Yao seemed to be fixed there, almost merging with the whole river.
Dalang crouched down with the basket in his arms, not at all worried that she would not be able to catch the fish. He looked at the sky, the ground, and the birds in the basket, and laughed. He will soon have his own slingshot. I must be so envious that I want to cry.
Soon, there was a strange noise in the river, and then a fish was thrown in front of him.
The tail of the fish was crackling and flapping, it was as wide as Da Lang's hand, and there was a bloody hole in the middle, it was not dead yet.
Da Lang immediately held it down, pulled a grass stalk through the gills of the fish, and skewered the fish.
As soon as the string was finished, another one was thrown up. This feeling of harvest was so good that the little boy couldn't help laughing, and his excited voice could be heard along the river bank.
Five fish in a row were all strung on a piece of grass, so heavy that Da Lang couldn't even lift it.
He hurriedly shouted: "Enough! Enough!"
Only then did Qin Yao throw the wooden stick, jumped up from the river, put down her trouser legs, and the mother and her mother carried the fish one by one, and the other carried the basket, and returned with a full load.
On the way, they saw a lot of water celery growing in the ditch, and the two of them picked up a big handful and brought them back.
