Lin Weiye usually likes to play with crossbows, and he is also very interested in bows, and he wants to see the ancient authentic bows, so he hurriedly said: "Then quickly get it, shoot a few arrows to find a feeling, and it will come in handy when the time comes." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yang and Huang answered, and went back to get their bows. Lin Weiye looked carefully, the bows of the two should be typical Asian hyperbolic reverse curve compound bows, the bow arms looked swarthy, and they couldn't see that they were made of wood, but they were very strong, and the bowstring seemed to be made of raw cowhide, which was very tough. In contrast, Yang Youji's bow is heavier than Huang Hansheng's.

I tried to pull down Huang Hansheng's bow, and with all my strength, I pulled it apart. Lin Weiye is embarrassed, he pays attention to exercise on weekdays, and his arm strength is passable, but he can't pull a Orion's bow.

Xia Nan sneered, "Brother, don't you brag and often play crossbows, but you can't pull the real bow when you meet it?" ”

Huang Hansheng took the bow and explained: "Master Lin has never touched the bow, he doesn't know the trick of exerting strength, and it's not surprising that a bow is not the same as a crossbow. Besides, although we make bows for hunting, we usually shoot wild boars and tigers, not the light bows used by ordinary hunters, and ordinary people can't pull them. ”

After that, he put on a homemade antler wrench, held the bow in his left hand, hooked the string with his right hand, and pulled it slightly, and the bowstring was pulled into a semicircle.

Lin Weiye is ashamed, although modern people are better nourished than the ancients, but the strength and skills of the ancients should not be underestimated. Xia Nan wanted to see the power of ancient bows and arrows, and urged Huang Hansheng to demonstrate.

Huang Hansheng didn't hurry to take out the arrow and put it on the bow: "I don't know where the master told me to shoot?"

Xia Nan looked around, pointed to the nearest tree in the woods at the entrance of the village, and said, "Shoot the trunk!" ”

He visually saw that the tree was about sixty or seventy meters away, and it was remarkable that he could shoot at the trunk.

Huang Hansheng shook his head and pointed to a small tree behind: "That tree is about 100 steps, shoot the one behind you." ”

I didn't see how he aimed, he pulled the bowstring and shot, Xia Nan only heard a "buzz", and the arrow had already been shot. Looking closely, the arrow was firmly nailed to the tree, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

Xia Nan and Lin Weiye were shocked, this small tree is afraid that it is one hundred and twenty or thirty meters away, and the trunk is only the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, such a long distance, such a thin target, you don't need to deliberately aim, you can shoot the target casually, wouldn't it be more accurate to shoot people? In the future generations, if you go to the Olympics, you will only be afraid of getting a gold medal.

"Good archery!" Xia Nan high-fived and applauded, "I think the two of you are both divine marksmen, and Yang Youji's doesn't have to look at it, it must be excellent, when the time comes, you don't have to rush to the front to deal with the Hu family, just shoot arrows." ”

Huang Hansheng smiled and pointed at Yang Youji: "Master, let's take a look at his archery skills, I can only pull out the two-stone bow at most, and he can pull the three-stone bow." ”

Three-stone bow ...... Xia Nan quickly converted it in his heart, and couldn't help but be shocked, one stone is about one hundred and twenty catties in later generations, and three stones are not three hundred catties, even if you calculate the combined force of two hands, an average hand has to have a strength of 150 catties, can human beings have such strength?

Yang Youji usually doesn't smile, and he doesn't talk nonsense at the moment, he raises his bow, takes the arrow, winds it, stretches the bow, and releases the arrow, and the whole set of actions is done in one go, like a cloud of water in the same industry. There was a muffled sound of "poof" in the distance, and Xia Nan didn't pay attention to the target, but he heard Lin Weiye shouting: "Shoot through, shoot through!" ”

It turned out that Yang Youji's arrow directly pierced the trunk of another tree with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and it was deeply submerged, and the arrow pierced out from the other side, leaving only the tail of the arrow outside. Xia Lin and the others are messy, this precision, this power, is he a monster?

When Xia Nan reacted, he couldn't help but laugh three times into the sky, this is the so-called 100 steps through Yang, right? Huang Hansheng's archery skills can already be called a marksman, Yang Youji is even more rebellious in strength and accuracy, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a humanoid small missile, and today it can be regarded as a treasure.

Lin Weiye asked excitedly: "You must have put a lot of effort into practicing your archery skills and arm strength, right?" ”

Huang Hansheng smiled slightly: "I didn't deliberately practice." Living in poverty, relying on hunting, pheasants and hares can only be satisfied, worthless, can only hunt tigers and wild boars. Such a beast must be fatal with one blow, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and its life may not be saved. Over time, archery skills are naturally honed. ”

Yang Youji added: "We rely on cooperation in hunting, Han Sheng's archery skills are powerful, and his knife skills are also good. ”

Xia Nan was surprised: "It turns out that you are still an all-rounder, and you are proficient in archery and knife skills." ”

Huang Hansheng said modestly: "The style of the countryside relies on brute force, pays attention to a steady and accurate ruthlessness, there are no moves, and there is no knife technique." ”

Lin Weiye instigated: "Show it, let's open our eyes." ”

Huang Hansheng took out a relatively narrow knife and let the two of them take a closer look. Xia Nan looked a little familiar, a little like the Japanese samurai in the movie, so he asked, "Is this a Japanese sword?" ”

"The old man has good eyesight, this kind of knife does have some relationship with the Japanese knife, but it is not a Japanese knife, but the former general Qi got inspiration from the Japanese knife and made it, called the Qi family knife. The front end of the Japanese knife is straighter, which can be cut and stabbed, while the front end of the Qi family knife is more curved and pays more attention to chopping. ”

Lin Weiye asked: "I heard that the sword is made of soft iron as the core, and the outsourcing of 100 steel is very complicated, and the cost is also very high, right?" ”

Huang Hansheng praised: "Master Lin is well-read and has a strong memory, and he even knows this." I have indeed heard that there are many processes for making a sword, and it is also troublesome to build, and a good knife costs a lot of silver, which is not something that I and other poor people can afford. The Qijia knife is a cutting edge clamped with steel, which is simple and cheap, and it is not much worse than the Japanese knife. We hunt, it is more suitable to use Qijia knives. If the dagger is too short, it is not enough to protect oneself; Even if you can afford it, it is not easy to use, the skin of wild boars and the like is thick, and the thorn is not as good as cutting, and if the prey is not out of breath after the stab, it will encounter a counterattack if it is too late to pull it out, or it is more practical to chop and split. ”

He walked up to a tree the thickness of a bowl, grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, spread his feet, lowered his shoulders slightly, and let out a loud shout, and slashed the blade of the knife, the blade of which slashed through the trunk, but the tree seemed intact.

When Xia Nan and Lin Weiye were surprised, Huang Hansheng withdrew the knife, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, only to hear the sound of "Kara", the whole tree broke off from the middle, fell to the ground, and the crown smashed to the ground, raising a puff of dust.

The two of them took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp in unison. I saw that the trunk of the tree was broken at the waist, and the edge of the knife was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut by a machine. Moreover, the trees do not fall after being cut down, so it can be seen that the speed and power of swinging the knife have reached the extreme.

Xia Nan admired the five-body throw to the ground, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You two, good archery and good knife skills!" ”

However, Xia Nan is also very strange, such a strong archery and knife skills, even if he is left in Qiongzhou, how can he be bullied so badly by the Hu family.

Huang Hansheng sighed: "What if you have a body of martial arts and archery. Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and they could not provoke the squire bullies in Guangxi, nor could they provoke Master Hu, the reason is the same: they are all inextricably linked with the yamen, we can kill the tiger with a knife and two bows, but we dare not be the enemy of the government. ”

In the summer, Nanshen thought so, even in modern times, if you are given an AK, you will not be able to confront the state apparatus.

With such a strong long-range strike force, Xia Nan set out to make adjustments to the escort team. Huang and Yang no longer used spears as weapons, withdrew from the formation of fifty people, and used bows and arrows to attack, and two young men were selected to fill the vacancies of the two.

The new formation trained all day, but no one from the Hu family came. Lin Weiye asked Xia Nan puzzled: "It is said that Hu Gang's life and death were at our hands, the Hu family and we should be endless, and if we lose once, we won't come, is this unreasonable?" ”

What Lin Weiye said was also what Xia Nan thought, it was unreasonable for the Hu family not to come, it was just a matter of when. But it's easy to kill thieves, but it's hard to prevent thieves, so waiting for this is not the way.

"If they don't come, let's just kill him and destroy his Hu family!" Lin Weiye was eager to try.

Xia Nan also tends to settle the Hu family once and for all: "I think so too. However, it is easier to defend than to attack, and the casualties are smaller, and these villagers are probably more active in defending their homes, and it may take some effort to attack Hujiazhuang. Wait another day, it's best if they come, and if they don't come, we'll kill them. ”

After making a plan, the escort team also ended the day's training. As it gets dark, the villagers of the salt pan return to the village, and the smoke begins to rise from every house, and the long-lost laughter echoes in this once lifeless village.

Xia Lin and the two still live in the house of the village chief Tan Shan, and the two went to bed early in order to recuperate.

In a daze, I didn't know what time it would be, Xia Lin and the others were suddenly awakened by shouts in their sleep, and Tan Shan also came to knock on the door of the two: "Two masters, it's not good, someone is setting fire to the village!" ”。

The two of them were awakened, and they didn't have time to put on their coats, so they opened the door and ran out, and sure enough, a house in the village was set on fire, and the fire illuminated most of the village. Some of the villagers who had woken up had already taken out wooden barrels and wooden basins to scoop water to extinguish the fire.

The two also joined the firefighting team, and observed the location of the fire in the south of the summer after fighting the fire, both in the east and west of the village, not like walking water, and the possibility of arson is very large.

After nearly two hours of fighting, the fire was finally extinguished. Most of the houses in the village are thatched mud houses, which are easy to catch fire, but fortunately, the houses are not arranged closely, and they are found in time, and everyone works together, and there are not many households affected, and the Tan family is also among them. Fortunately, the three members of his family ran out, the house burned down, and the people were fine, but other families were not so lucky, and there were two families who did not run out in time and were burned alive.

At this time, it was already dawn, Tan Shan counted the losses and reported them to Xia Nan, burning down a total of five rooms, killing three old people, a woman, and two children. Those whose houses were burned down and whose families had died wept loudly beside the ruins, and it was miserable.
