Volume 1 The Milk Tiger Roars Valley, and the Beasts Are Terrified! Chapter 9: I Can See You in My Dreams
Sad enough, Tang Ning went back to the house and continued to sleep. Tossing and turning made it difficult to fall asleep, and I don't know how long it took before I finally fell asleep in a daze.
This time I didn't have a nightmare, but I had another strange dream.
Tang Ning dreamed that he had turned into a white tiger, lying on top of the towering mountain peak, looking lazy, but a pair of blue tiger eyes were shining, looking around the mountain peak. His eyes swept over the gray wolf on the west side of the mountain, and the gray wolf whimpered lowly. His eyes swept over the white horse and green cow in the north of the mountain peak, and the white horse and green cow kept screaming.
Suddenly, the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and seeing a lightning bolt slashing down on him, Tang Ning wanted to move, but the white tiger did not move at all. The angry Tang Ning scolded wildly in his heart, I saw that you were quite majestic just now, but I didn't expect it to be such a stupid tiger!
At the moment when the lightning struck, a pair of golden dragon claws poked out of the clouds, crushing the screaming lightning alive. The white tiger lying on the top of the mountain yawned, stood up, and prostrated on the ground again, looking submissive.
A majestic golden dragon came out of the dark clouds, the dark clouds dissipated in an instant, the sky was clear, and the golden dragon kept swimming in the sky. The golden dragon circled several times, and finally slowly landed in front of the white tiger, the handsome dragon face was facing the white tiger, and the long dragon whiskers gently teased the ears of the white tiger.
After a while, it stretched out its claws at the white tiger that was crawling on the ground. Tang Ning thought that he was going to shoot himself to death, but he didn't expect that the golden dragon just patted his shoulder lightly, and bared his teeth at himself......
Tang Ning didn't figure out what this dream meant, anyway, after he woke up, he couldn't remember the two dreams from last night. Yawned, but Downing found that the little stone was no longer in the house.
This guy is sleepy, and generally speaking, he won't get up until he sleeps until about ninety o'clock. But today Xiaoshi was not in the house, Tang Ning sighed in his heart, did he get up late?
Sorting out his clothes in a panic, Tang Ning walked out the door. I saw Aunt Niu coming back with a bamboo basket to wash vegetables, and Niu San was chopping firewood.
Watching Niu San chop firewood is actually a very pleasing thing to the eye, and he seems to have made splitting firewood a ritual.
Sitting on a rock, with his waist very straight, and after placing a piece of firewood on the wooden pier in front of him, he chopped it down with an axe. Each piece of firewood is only split three times, and never more.
"Awake?" Niu Santou asked without raising his head.
"Wake up......," Tang Ning said, scratching his scalp.
If Aunt Niu's meticulous care gave Tang Ning the feeling of mother, then Niu San was very much like his father.
Silent and silent.
The other villagers in the village saw Tang Ning walking out in a wide and shabby shirt, and they all greeted Tang Ning separately. Among them, Boss Gao was so bored, and even laughed, saying that whose little lady came out to meet someone?
Tang Ning was not shy, and returned the salute one by one, and the appreciation in Niu San's eyes when he saw this scene was even stronger.
Niu San was chopping wood, and Tang Ning used Niu San's short dagger to cut wood.
A few days ago, Niu San hunted a sika deer and came back, although the meat was not delicious, but Tang Ning was inexplicably happy.
After the deer tendon is extracted, can it still be used as a bowstring? Although it is not as good as Niu San's cow tendon longbow, he has no intention of making a longbow. A simple hand crossbow was enough for Tang Ning to use for his own self-defense.
Niu San didn't stop Tang Ning's behavior, he really wanted to see what kind of thing Tang Ning could make.
The lack of planers made Downing very uncomfortable, and the crossbow walls he made were always crooked. Fortunately, Niu San's dagger was effortless to cut wood, and there was even a feeling of chopping tofu, so Tang Ning saved a lot of trouble.
Looking up at Niu San, he saw where Niu San was still sitting, and his two eyes looked at Tang Ning's crossbow wall with great interest, and he did not express dissatisfaction with Tang Ning's behavior of causing trouble to his dagger, so Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and began to make his own small hand crossbow with concentration.
Since there were no nails to hold the bow to the wall, the purely wooden hand crossbow had to be made in one hand. There is a lot of wood that Downing has discarded at home, and now it is lying under the stove to add fire, waiting to turn itself into heat and charcoal.
This time it failed again, but the reason for the failure was not because of the crossbow wall, but because of the lookout mountain. At first, Tang Ning cut Wangshan into a trapezoid, but he felt that it was inconvenient to aim, so he turned the trapezoid into a triangle. As a result, an accidental, sharp dagger directly cut off a stubble from Wangshan, and this crossbow wall that was finally made had to be declared a failure.
Instead of being discouraged, Downing took the sawdust all over his body and found another suitable piece of wood from the ground and continued to sharpen it.
This made Niu San very surprised, Mo said that he was a ten-year-old child, even if he was himself, he would feel irritated if he scrapped more than forty things that were finally made in more than ten days in a row. Especially after a seemingly successful crossbow fell apart after being launched and was ridiculed by others, Niu San felt that if this kind of thing happened to him, he would probably go crazy.
However, this kind of irritability is actually pediatric for Tang Ning, in order to carve a puppet exactly like his girlfriend as her birthday gift, Tang Ning relied on various advanced equipment in later generations to carve for more than a month, scrapped hundreds of them before finally making one that he was very satisfied with.
Although her girlfriend still pouted in disgust after receiving it, she put the wooden figure on the bedside table and looked at it for a while before going to bed every night, which made Tang Ning remember it vividly.
Thinking back to her, Downing's nose couldn't help but pantothenic acid. If there is anyone he is most sorry for, it is his girlfriend. is a proud girl in the sky, whether it is a university or a family background, she is more than one grade better than Tang Ning. And she chose to live with Tang Ning without hesitation, although her mouth was a little poisonous, she never abandoned Tang Ning.
This should have been a woman who would enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future life, but because of herself, this proud phoenix broke her wings and fell into the dust from the nine heavens, staying with Tang Ning.
I don't know what she'll do if she disappears. Will her strict father still accept her home? Will she be like she joked about a long time ago, and casually find a man who looks good to marry.
Every time he thought of this, Tang Ning's heart felt like it was being kneaded vigorously by a big hand.
Niu San couldn't understand why Tang Ning was crying so much, but the movements under his hands didn't stop. Shaking his head, he just thought it was Tang Ning reminiscing about his master.
Sadness is too far away from Niu San, even feelings. After living in Rooster Ridge for so many years, I have long been numb. The biggest hope every day is to bring back a few more prey to fill the stomachs of his wife and children, and in addition, he hopes that the Nanshan thieves and the government will not find here.
From morning to afternoon, Downing was making his own crossbow. During this period, Xiaoshi and Li Zi ran back after going crazy for a while, and saw Tang Ning crying while cutting wood, and the aura exuded from his body made the two little hairy children dare not approach, and after watching from a distance for a while, they saw that Brother Ning had no problem, so they ran back to the house to learn to read and write honestly with their mother.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Downing finally came up with a decent crossbow wall. The next task was to install the bowstring and the bracket, and finally the test firing was carried out.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Tang Ning sighed, rubbed his red and swollen eyes, ate dinner without saying a word in the puzzled eyes of everyone, and fell asleep.
Only in his dreams can he see the man who thinks about him day and night......
Although he never understood why she kept saying to himself in her dreams that we would see you again......
Early the next morning, Downing got up on his own. The little stone next to him was sleeping, and Li Zi was not there, so he probably went back to sleep in Lao Li's house.
This old and young, although they are not real blood relatives, but after so many years, it is almost the same. At least Li Zi treats Lao Li Tou as his own grandfather, and Lao Li Tou also takes care of Li Zi as his own granddaughter.
Although he was powerless, this care could only be done by the rest of the village's fugitives......
Niu San was moving his fists and feet in the yard, and when he saw Tang Ning coming out, he nodded. Tang Ning greeted with a smile and said, "Uncle Niu is early." With that, he yawned and leaned over to pick up the bamboo basket and axe on the ground, and it was time to chop wood.
Seeing this, Niu San opened his mouth and said, "Don't leave yet." ”
Tang Ning stood aside suspiciously, not knowing what Niu San was going to do, but he still stood there obediently, watching Niu San punch.
Niu San's boxing is unpretentious, many times Tang Ning has thought that Niu San is a peerless master, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty is the background board of Tianlong Babu......
However, Tang Ning was very disappointed that Niu San did not have extremely cool special effects when he swung his fist, and even Tang Ning, who was on his side, couldn't even feel the punch style.
Seeing that Niu San's trip was about to end, Tang Ning ran back to the house and took a yellowish handkerchief, and when Niu San finished fighting, he handed the handkerchief over.
Niu San pursed his mouth and took it, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then grabbed his handkerchief and said, "You don't have to go up the mountain today." ”
Niu San has always said much, Tang Ning wanted to ask why, but seeing that Niu San had no interest in talking, he had to hold it in his stomach. He wandered out of the village and went to the nearby woods to find some wild fruits to eat.
The wild kiwi fruit was not even half a fist big, and such a small one made Tang Ning think of himself now.
There is still a sweet aclica in the forest, but this thing is more troublesome, it is not a big one when it is ripe, and the green fruits taste very astringent, so you have to go home and marinate it with salt for a few days before you take it out and eat it.
There are few things to eat in the forest, either they are not ripe, or they have to climb the trees to pick them, thinking of those nasty leeches, Tang Ning still did not choose to climb the tree.
grinning back into the house, the sour wild kiwi just now had already filled his mouth. Niu San's short dagger didn't know where he had taken it, so Tang Ning had no choice but to find Lao Litou.
The crossbow he had made before firing an arrow fell apart, and Downing wanted to remove the bracket of his waste crossbow and attach it to his new crossbow to see the effect.
