The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 6 Ji Yunchang

Looking back, it was a boy about my age who spoke.

He was wearing a navy blue jacket and a jade crown of the same color on his head. His face was very thin, his eyes were long and narrow, and the corners of his eyebrows were flat, giving him an aura of detachment.

He was holding a strange piece of wood in his hand and a cloth bag in the other, standing beside the flower tree, looking harmless.

"No." I replied.

"Oh." He replied, took the cloth bag, walked to the stone table and sat down, repairing the piece of wood seriously, looking like a grown-up.

I was a little tired from standing, so I just sat opposite him and watched him fiddling with wood.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but ask, "What did you repair?"

"It's not a thing, it's a crossbow." He didn't even lift his head.

I said, "I know the crossbow, but your crossbow is very strange."

He nodded, "This is a crossbow I modified with a clever trick. A normal crossbow can only fire one arrow feather at a time, but mine can fire three arrows at a time. And after sending out the arrow feathers, it will automatically and quickly fire three more arrows." Arrow feather. I am planning to improve it to make it more powerful."

"How far can you shoot this crossbow?" I was a little curious.

He thought for a while, looked up, pointed to a willow tree and said, "Probably there."

I laughed.

There is a distance of 30 meters from here to the tree he pointed to.And the small crossbow in his hand is the size of a palm, I believe three meters, 30 meters...

"You do not believe?"

Yes, don't believe me.

He seemed to frowned, then lowered his head, concentrating on repairing the crossbow.

At first I was able to sit on the opposite side and watch, but after a long time I got a little bored, so I started to look at the yard.

The courtyard is beautifully built, and the towers and pavilions have a special artistic conception, but if you take a closer look, you will find it boring...

Just when I leaned on my hand and watched Yun Duo fall asleep, he stopped, stood up and said, "Come with me."

I was bored, so I immediately got up and followed.

He first went to the corner to pick a few wild fruits of unknown nature and placed them on the table, then walked to a distance, bent half of his arms to fix the crossbow, and aimed with one eye slightly closed...

"Swoosh...boom..."

Three small wooden arrows flew out, pierced through the small fruit on the table, and nailed to the tree behind.Before I was surprised, three small arrows flew out after chasing the tails of the first three arrows, smashed the wings of the arrows, and nailed them to the same place.

"How about it, do you believe it?" He took out a piece of cheesecloth from his sleeve, and quietly wiped the uneven lines on the crossbow.

It is at least 50 meters from the place where you stand to the place where you put the fruit. 50 meters, even if it is a normal wooden crossbow, the range is no more than that.The small crossbow in his hand was only the size of a palm. If his sleeves were wide, he would not be able to see them hidden in the sleeves, but the power was so great...

"Can I see your crossbow?"

He thought for a while and handed over the small crossbow.This thing is very delicate, and the details are polished very smooth, but where is the mechanism for firing the arrow?
"Here." He turned the small crossbow over. There are two silver silk straps on the left and right sides of the crossbow. One side is fixed on the arm, and the other is wrapped around the palm of the finger with a thin silk thread. As long as you move your finger slightly, the arrow will fly out. .

I was interested and asked "Can I try it?"

He reinstalled the arrow feathers and handed the crossbow to me. I raised my arm and tied it several times but failed to fix it. He seemed to smile and came over to help tie the crossbow.

The silver thread was tied, and when it was time to wind the thread around his fingers, he stopped.

"Did someone bully you?" He seemed to frown.

"It used to be, but it probably won't be in the future."

Pull down the cuffs to cover the wound, wind the silk thread, and with a whoosh, the arrow feathers are crookedly nailed to the tree.

He leveled my arm, "Steady your hands, keep your eyes on the target, and do it again."

"Swoosh..." This time, three arrow feathers flew out horizontally.

He nodded, carefully unloaded the crossbow, and said, "The wire rope of the arrow crossbow's firing mechanism is too sharp, and it's easy to hurt your hands. You have to change it again. By the way, come with me." After finishing speaking, he put away the small cloth bag , walked to the backyard on his own.

This kid has quite a personality, he will leave as soon as he finishes speaking, regardless of whether others have heard it or not...

But I still choose to follow...

Go around two corridors, pass through a small garden, and come to a gate.I didn't see him raise his hand, the door opened by itself, it should be another mechanism or something.

After entering the gate, he motioned for me to sit down, and he went straight to a picture of white bamboo, and he didn't know which bamboo leaf to touch.There was a click, and a small dark room full of grids appeared on the right. There were some strange things in it, which should be organs or something.

He took a small bottle in the third grid below, thought for a while, then took out a package of things from the rightmost grid on the side, walked up to me and said, "pull up the sleeves."

Seeing that I didn't move, he wasn't annoyed, he stuffed the bottle into my hand and said, "This is clear wind and rain, it has miraculous effects in healing wounds, if you find it inconvenient, just wipe it when you go back."

He put the packet on the table again, "Here are muffins, for you."

After speaking, he sat at the other end of the table with a small crossbow and began to repair it, looking very serious.

I was really hungry, smelling the scent from the small bag, no matter what the rain, dew and breeze, I picked up a piece and ate it, but at this time, he suddenly raised his head and said faintly, "Remember to save half of it for me. "

I:"……"

The muffins are really delicious, layer by layer, crispy and mellow, a bit like the pagoda cake that I used to love most.

Suddenly agitated, I put down the muffin and head out the door.

At this time, it was almost evening, the fire burned the clouds, and the sunset glow was differently red, like the color of blood.

"Why are you always so sad?" He didn't know when, he came to the side, his robe was reflected by the sun, and his face looked like a small adult.

I didn't answer, and he wouldn't understand if I answered.

"What's your name?" He asked suddenly.

"Su Qingmu." I replied.

"Su Qingmu..." He read for a while, nodded, and then handed me the small crossbow, "Here, here you go. I replaced the silk thread with a ring, so it won't hurt my hands anymore.

"Why, don't you want it?" Seeing that I didn't answer, he seemed to frowned.

"No, it's just that I have nothing to return to you."

He smiled slightly, "No, you already told me your name, it's an exchange. Take it, with this, no one should bully you."

I wanted to say no, but he had already walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back, and the door behind him was also closed. I was too embarrassed to hold on, so I quickly followed him all the way, and when he was about to reach the front yard, he stopped Said, "I'm a little hungry, I'm going to eat, do you want to come together?"

I naturally understood such an obvious order to evict guests, so I immediately said no.He hummed, turned around and walked in another direction. At this time, I suddenly remembered something and called him "Hello, what's your name?".

"Ji Yunchang. Yunduo's cloud, Changlin's Chang." With his hands behind his back, he walked away step by step.

Looking at the small crossbow in my hand and looking at the empty corridor, I was a little puzzled, but it didn't matter, I kicked the small crossbow into my arms and went back to the front yard.

Almost as soon as I came back, Su Huo and the third prince came out of the house.The complexions of several people were not very good, especially Su Huo, whose brows could be wrinkled.

The three of them walked to the door and said goodbye to each other. After the two of them walked away, Su Huo carried me on the back of the horse, flicked the whip, and sent the horse back home.

After returning home, Su Huo asked the housekeeper to send me to the small courtyard and then went into the house. The housekeeper was also a careful person. Seeing that it was getting late, he even asked someone to make a midnight snack for me and sent them to the small courtyard.

Although I had prepared for it long ago, I was quite surprised when I returned to the yard.

In just one afternoon, the yard has taken on a completely new look.

The weeds have been repaired, the dead leaves have been tidied up, eight-treasure lanterns have been hung on the eaves and corners of the house, and the old and leaky doors and windows have been painted with dark red paint. Several maids are busy inside and out. Looking at it, I can't see the slightest dilapidation during the day.

"Miss, miss, you are back." Luzhu ran out of the house, and she burst into tears when she saw me. She was wearing a small pink dress, although it was made of coarse cloth, you could still see the new oars at the corner of the dress.

The housewife was really thoughtful, and even brought her new clothes.

After seeing off the butler, the new maidservant came over to ask An to recognize the master.I was tired after a day of tossing around, so with a few simple instructions, I asked Lu Zhu to fetch water for me to wash.

The whip wounds on his body hadn't scabbed yet, so he couldn't take a bath, so he asked Luzhu to apply the medicine, then changed into new clothes and lay down to sleep.

The new bedding was very soft, and the tables, chairs, doors and windows smelled of new paint. I was sleepy at first, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Finally, in the middle of the night, I felt a little drowsy, and I heard the sound of footsteps on the roof, followed by a "clang...", and a short arrow was nailed to the center of the bed.
