Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Your crossbow is pretty good, and the steel tip is good. Where did you get it?" Yang Xiaomeng said when returning the crossbow to Jiang Yan.

"This was made by workers temporarily. If you like it, I will give it to you after we come down from the mountain. However, I have to enjoy it first. I haven't played with it yet! You need 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 when you have never played before? I thought you knew how to do it!"

"It's not that I thought about getting a crossbow because I thought that the noise from going up the mountain to shoot would be too loud and might scare away the animals."

"You scholars are better off with your brains. My old man also has a crossbow. I always felt that I didn't have a gun that was easy to use, so I didn't bring it with me."

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

"First shoot the birds with a crossbow, and then you can shoot other animals after you become proficient. Just shoot a few more times and it will be fine."

After walking for a while, the sharp-eyed Yang Xiaomeng saw a pheasant in the grass in the distance, so he made a signal 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 hunting behavior and walked over cautiously, then raised the crossbow in his hand.

There was a sound of searching, the crossbow arrow was shot, and the pheasant in the grass in the distance fell down with the sound.

Xu Damao, who was following Jiang Yan, cheered: "Boss, what a great arrow, I hit the target."

After saying this, he was ready to pick up the pheasant.

Unexpectedly, a slap in the face happened. The pheasant that had been hit just now flew up again and ran away into the distance.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

Xu Damao pointed at the running pheasant and turned to Jiang Yan with a dull look on his face: "Boss, this is the pheasant you just shot. It's not dead! Look, it ran away with the arrow. It's really tenacious."

At this time, Yang Xiaomeng, who was walking in front, said: "It probably missed the vital point, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is hit by the arrow, it can't run far and can't fly."

After he said this, he directly chased the pheasant in the direction it was running.

The pheasant with arrows in the distance was just like what Yang Xiaomeng said. It fluttered a few times but never took off. Instead, it rolled and ran away.

Yang Xiaomeng strode over and caught the pheasant that was flapping. Then he picked up the still alive pheasant and twisted its neck. The pheasant stopped flapping again.

However, when Xu Damao saw this scene, he shuddered involuntarily and looked at Yang Xiaomeng with a little dodge.

"Here, take it! I didn't expect that the pheasant you shot the first time was better than when I was a kid." After Yang Xiaomeng said this, he handed the dead pheasant to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan took it, took off the crossbow arrow from the pheasant, and then handed the pheasant to Xu Damao who was following behind.

After shooting the pheasant for the first time, Jiang Yan also made a summary in his mind.

The moment he fired the crossbow, his hand shook slightly, so he missed the target and missed.

Sure enough, there is a fundamental difference between shooting fixed targets and shooting living animals.

Not to mention using crossbows, even if I use a gun to shoot living creatures, I guess I won't be able to perform to the level I should. This is due to psychological factors. It seems that I still need to practice!

From the first time he hit a prey, Jiang Yan seemed to be cheating. Except for the first one that Yang Xiaomeng hit, the rest of the prey were all hit by Jiang Yan, but they were all pheasants and hares. If Yang Xiaomeng hadn't said there were enough of these small animals, Jiang Yan would probably have killed more.

"Ouch! Oh my god! This is exhausting me. Boss, can you give me a sip of your water?" Xu Damao, who was sitting on the stone for a temporary break, gasped for air and shook himself. He was already empty. A kettle with a drop of water came out and asked Jiang Yan who was drinking water.

Jiang Yan heard Xu Damao's words and directly handed his kettle to poor Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, your body is so weak! You look as skinny as a little chicken. You're going to be dead after just walking a little way."

Hearing Yang Xiaomeng's words, Xu Damao took a sip of water and gasped in defense: "Brother Xiaomeng, I have used all my energy to feed myself. Our physical fitness is not good, so there is nothing we can do."

"You'd better practice less. Otherwise, if you stay here and follow my old man for a few months, I'll make sure you're perfect."

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

"Farewell, Brother Xiaomeng, please spare me! You can't live without me, right?"

Hearing Xu Damao's almost pleading words, Jiang Yan could directly say: "Brother Meng, forget it! He can lie down and not sit down. If he can't bear this pain, it's better not to trouble the old man."

After saying this, he turned to Xu Damao and said, "But Damao, you really need to practice, so you can run with me every morning! Don't sleep in from now on."

"You really can't do this without practice. If Xiao Wei hadn't helped you, you probably wouldn't have been able to get here."

Not long after entering the mountain, almost all the things Xu Damao, a good-for-nothing, carried on his back, were on Wei Xiaojun's body. He was still breathing and panting. If it weren't for Xu Damao's drag, they could have gone further.

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

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

In order to prevent wild animals from coming in at night, the front door of Diwozi is small and only one person can pass through at a time.

In front of the Diwozi, hunters who often go up the mountain have built a stone wall with stones. There is a house made of stones against the stone wall. The house is not big, only about square meters. The house is very short, less than One person is tall, and the strangest thing is that there is a lot of soot on the floor of the house, and there are rows of wooden bars as thick as a child's arm.

Jiang Yan just took a curious look and 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, so 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 an engineering shovel and put them in the nest, which could be used as a bed at night.

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

"This thing is so convenient! Why didn't I think of getting a pot and kettle like this?"

Yang Xiaomeng took the portable pot and kettle that Jiang Yan took out and looked at them repeatedly, and couldn't help praising them.

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

"Brother Meng, is there a stream near here? I'll go pick up the prey."

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

After hearing what Yang Xiaomeng said, Jiang Yan took Xu Damao and carried the prey to the stream.

At first Jiang Yan was wondering why he didn't hear the sound of water, but when he got closer, he saw that the stream was very small, only the size of the mouth of a bowl, and the water flow was very fast.

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