During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Is Chapter 68 bad?
Doctor Luo suddenly stared at him and looked at him, "But I think you'd better change your appearance. That girl will run away when she sees you. If you still show up like this, she might run away when she sees you from a distance." "

Officer Huang touched his beard uncomfortably, "Am I looking bad like this?"

Doctor Luo twitched the corners of his mouth.

Officer Huang: ...I was quite confident before.

Soon, a month passed. Because they had known for a long time that their village would be selected to serve again this year, every household made preparations early. Many families asked their serving men to be raised at home in advance, ensuring that they would be ready before going out. Take good care of yourself and wait until the official day arrives. Everyone will gather at the entrance of the village early in the morning, carrying their baggage.

When the time comes, there will be official servants who will lead them to the places that need to be repaired and put into service.

Li Peilan had no money to exempt Jiang Yongguo from labor. Jiang Yongguo refused to give up and made trouble at home for several days. Finally, Li Peilan returned to her parents' home. The next day, several brothers from her parents' family came and beat Jiang Yongguo.

Jiang Yongguo dared not speak out in anger, so he went to fetch Li Peilan back the next day, never mentioning the matter of service money.

I didn't give up and came to Jiang's house several times, but Jiang Miao and Luo Tingye used their skills to deal with them.

Jiang Yongguo gradually did not dare to come after suffering a loss.

Village elders such as Village Chief Jiang and Uncle Seven stood at the entrance of the village to cheer up the young people in the village, telling them to help each other and to send people back with news in time if anything happened.

It didn't take long for the government officials who were sent to arrive. After a few simple scoldings, they led the crowd away in a grand manner, which looked quite spectacular from a distance.

Jiang Miao and Luo Tingye watched them leave from a distance, "That's not the direction to Yangliu Town, but more like the direction to Baimaguan Town."

Luo Tingye nodded, and Sun Ming sent back the news that the service in Yangliu Town was fake, because Baimaguan Town was the hometown of the county magistrate's wife, and the county magistrate had many properties there, so the county magistrate used the service as an excuse to let Yangliu Town The people went to repair Baimaguan Town.

It can be said that the economic development of Baimaguan Town was fostered by Yangliu Town.

Luo Tingye patted the little red horse's butt, and Jiang Miao immediately tightened the reins nervously.

"Luo Tingye, you did it on purpose."

In a month, Jiang Miao not only learned to drive a carriage, but also worked hard to learn to ride a horse. However, she didn't know if it was because winter was here, and the pony was always showing its temper when she didn't want to be ridden by her.

After practicing horse riding for an hour, Jiang Miao was finally able to sit firmly on the horse without falling off, and could also take a few steps while sitting on the horse. However, whenever she wanted to run, her body would sway uncontrollably. live.

Jiang Miao felt that she was too stupid to learn such a simple thing as riding a horse. When Luo Tingye heard her thoughts, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. How long did it take her to learn to ride a horse?

a month?

Luo Tingye was only seven years old when he learned to ride a horse. It was normal for him to learn to ride a horse for a month, but Jiang Miao was already a big girl. She was indeed a bit stupid after learning for several days and still hadn't learned it yet.

"Today's practice is enough. Haste makes waste, aren't you going to have an appointment with Hunter Hu to go hunting in the mountains later?"

Jiang Miao's eyes flashed with excitement, "Yes, let's go home quickly."

This look in Luo Tingye's eyes meant that there was something wrong with her.

But he thought it was a good thing, so he patiently followed Jiang Miao back home, and then followed her all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Miao couldn't wait to ask when she came up, "Uncle Hu, how are you preparing the things I asked you to prepare for me?"

Hu Orion smiled knowingly and took out a long bow from behind. The bow and arrows were wrapped in black cloth, and there was a glimmer of oil when he opened it.

"I made it yesterday. I thought you would use it in a hurry, so I brought it to you to see if you like it." The body of the bow is made of bamboo, the dragon heads on both sides are carved from wood, and the bow string is made of water shield beef tendon. The draw force is very strong, and the two ends of the bow are wrapped in pure cowhide, and the outside is coated with a layer of black dye, which is very cool.

Jiang Miao was very excited, "It's so beautiful."

Luo Tingye understood. It turned out that she secretly made a bow and arrow. No wonder she was so happy.

After admiring it, Jiang Miao turned around and handed the bow and arrow to him, "Try it quickly and see if you like it."

Luo Tingye was suddenly startled. He pointed at himself and said, "This bow and arrow of yours was made for me."

"Of course, the craftsman spent a month? Didn't you say before that you couldn't shoot accurately without a bow and arrow? Now that you have a bow and arrow, you will definitely be able to hit the target with perfect accuracy. I specifically asked Hunter Hu to find someone to help with this. , It cost me several taels of silver."

Luo Tingye rubbed his fingertips back and forth on the bow. He liked the silky feel very much. Growing up, he had no shortage of bows in his hands. The most precious one was left by his imperial grandfather and was inlaid with orbs.

But those bows and arrows were not there, and the one he held was valuable.

"You haven't said whether you like it or not?"

Luo Tingye said casually: "Is it okay?"

Jiang Miao didn't like the tone of his voice and wanted to snatch it back angrily, "What do you mean it's okay? I spent money to build this for you. If you don't like it, just give it back to me."

"How can this be done? This is the first bow and arrow you gave me. How can I take it back?"

"Didn't you say it's okay?"

Luo Tingye took two steps back, "It's okay, it's okay."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Jiang Miao was furious and chased after her.

Hu Orion laughed as he watched the two chasing each other.

Most of the men in the village had left, causing the atmosphere of the whole village to become a little depressed. Only Jiang Miao and Luo Tingye seemed to be fine. The two of them were running up and down the mountain, and they actually found two wild deer.

Jiang Miao was so excited that she kept urging Luo Tingye to shoot the arrow quickly.

"What's your hurry?"

"Can I not be anxious? This is a deer. I heard that venison is very nourishing. It would be great to take it back to replenish my brother's health." At this time, Hu Orion quietly came up to him, his eyes instantly shining.

"Uncle Hu, there are exactly two deer. You two can shoot one each. I heard that the deer are full of treasures. This trip will definitely fetch a lot of money, so that you can treat your Shaohua."

Hunter Hu was not polite to them when he heard this. Besides, Luo Tingye couldn't take down two deer by himself.

Hu Orion confidently took out his bow and arrow, took aim, and drew the bow.

The two wild deer seemed unaware of the approaching danger and were drinking water from the water hole.

At this time, two sounds pierced the air. The wild deer sensed the danger and subconsciously ran away, but it still did not escape the fate of being shot.
