"Is it because my strength has increased, or has the power of the Iron Back Bow decreased?" Xu Xingxia asked himself a little puzzled. The weight of three or four hundred catties is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear. According to common sense, whether it was Xu Xingxia in the previous life or Xu Xingxia in this world before, it was impossible to pull the two stone hard bows. The two-stone hard bow is completely the power of the foot crossbow. Something strange must have happened here.

"Forget it, no matter, just go outside the fort and test it." Xu Xingxia picked up the iron-backed bow and took down the quiver again. This quiver is made of iron, and the surface is already rusty, and it is estimated that it weighs at least fifteen or sixteen catties. This kind of quiver can only be carried behind the back, and it is impossible to carry it around the waist.

Inside the quiver, there are a total of thirty black feather arrows. Xu Xingxia took out a black feather arrow and looked at it, and found that these black feather arrows were all made of fine iron, and even the arrow feathers were directly suppressed by fine iron. There was no other material for the whole arrow except pig iron. It's so unfit that it can't be broken at all.

The arrows of the black feather arrows are even more formidable triangles. On each side, there is a sunken blood trough. Once an arrow of this shape enters the target's body, it can easily cause the target's blood to bleed to death. In addition, the rusty arrow, after shooting into the target's body, will leave a large amount of rust, causing wound infection, even if Langzhong treats it in time, it is difficult to survive.

Xu Xingxia preliminarily estimated that the weight of each arrow was at least more than one catty. With such a heavy arrow, only a two-stone hard bow can shoot out. The average elm bow shoots out more than ten meters at most. From the point of view of price, the cost of creating such a pure iron arrow is at least one or two silver. There are definitely not many people who are willing to spend so much. In other words, it is impossible for the army to be equipped in large quantities except for a very small number of people.

"Brother, where are you going?" Niuniu's voice suddenly came. It turned out that when Xu Xingxia pulled the bow just now, she had already woken up. She always woke up from a terrible sleep. Whatever is going on around her, she'll wake up. It's probably a long-standing habit.

"Brother is going to go for a walk outside the city, will you go?" Xu Xingxia bent down and picked her up.

"I'm going. Wherever my brother goes, Niuniu goes. Niu Niu replied crisply.

"Good! Let's go! Xu Xingxia picked up Niuniu, put her on her shoulders, straddled her legs around her neck, and pulled her hands to prevent her from falling. Xu Xingxia turned his head to look around, there was nothing unusual, and he quietly went out.

At this time, Xu Xingxia didn't notice it at all, he was carrying forty or fifty pounds of arrows and quivers, a thirty-pound little girl was straddling his neck, and he was still holding an iron-backed bow that also weighed twenty or thirty pounds, so he didn't feel any pressure.

When they went out, they could still see the prince lying on the loom, sleeping deeply. She was also very startled, and if there was any movement around her, she woke up immediately. Now, she is still asleep, which means that she is indeed very sleepy, and she has no notice of what Xu Xingxia and Niuniu are doing. In the next room, Xu Fuqing was also really asleep.

Xu Xingxia carried Niuniu on his back and came out of the Xu family's adobe house. Outside is a straight street that leads in the direction of Helan Mountain. The streets are wide, you can run horses, and you can move troops quickly. On both sides of the street, there are uneven adobe houses, inhabited by poor military families. The conditions are slightly better, and I live in the southeast corner, which is basically a brick house.

On both sides of the street, there are a few shops selling miscellaneous goods and cloth. On either side of the intersection, there are also two meat stalls. One sells mutton and the other sells beef. There are two or three hundred households in Weizhenbao, with a population of more than 1,000, but two meat stalls are enough. There are so many poor people here that few can afford to eat meat.

Behind the adobe house, there is a fort wall about five or six meters high. The outside of the fort wall was supposed to be red bricks, but after a long time, the red bricks became green bricks in the rain. Some of the fort walls are in disrepair and have become dilapidated. Not to mention adults, even some playful children, can easily dig red bricks out of the castle wall.

The person in charge of guarding Weizhen Fort is a deputy Qianhu named Zhang Qiuqing. However, Zhang Qiuqing almost never spent the night at Fort Weizhen. One can imagine how uneasy he is about the safety of Fort Will. In fact, in Weizhen Fort, as long as they have some ability, they have all moved to Pingyu City to live. In the event that hundreds of Tartars were killed, Fort Weizhen would not be able to resist it.

The ground is uneven, and the original paved bluestone slabs are all gone. Now the ground is full of potholes and depressions, and it is typical that it is gray on sunny days and mud on rainy days. Running a horse on such a road, the speed is definitely not fast. Even if you are walking by, be careful not to step into a puddle.

It's rare to have a few pedestrians on the streets. They saw Xu Xingxia coming out with Niuniu, and after taking a look, they were not interested in looking at it again. Xu Xingxia, they all know each other, the eldest son of the Xu family, he can't beat a fart with three fists. If you want to choose a young man with the most unpromising and unpromising prospects in Weizhenbao, it must be Xu Xingxia.

Previously, Xu Xingxia would hardly appear in public. Because, as soon as he shows up, he will become the object of others to play with. I really didn't expect that Xu Xingxia would come out with a bow and arrow on his back today, God knows what he was going to do? Don't say it's going hunting, with the ability of the Xu family, it's almost the same if you don't get taken away by the prey.

"What is that kid going to do? Hunt? ”

"Hunting? Joke? What can he hunt? ”

"The curved bow in his hand can't be made of wood......

……

There were a few people around the store who pointed and pointed, and some words drifted to Xu Xingxia's ears. Xu Xingxia didn't react at all. He knows that "his" past is indeed very incompetent. To change their impression, it is not enough to rely on words, but also on practical actions. The hunting they mentioned reminded Xu Xingxia. Perhaps, while testing the bow and arrow, you can also see if there is any suitable prey, kill a few and come back to fight the tooth sacrifice.

Xu Xingxia walked all the way and met several military households. They all turned a blind eye to Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia didn't say hello to anyone either. It's not that I don't want to, it's that there's no need for that. Even if he took the initiative to say hello, others would not pay attention. The Xu family has no status at all in Weizhenbao, and others don't bother to pay attention to you at all. Instead of being bored with yourself, it is better to hunt a few prey back in a down-to-earth manner and open their eyes.

In fact, there are not many decent people who live in Fort Weizhen. Decent people live in Pingyu City, or Ningxia City. However, the strange thing is that the snobbery of the people of Weizhenbao is more serious than that of Pingyu City and Ningxia City.

Xu Xingxia carried Niuniu, came out from the west of Weizhen Fort, and walked about ** mile, which is a forest. This forest, which extends from the remnants of Helan Mountain, is the place that the people of Weizhenbao usually visit the most. The herbs in the woods, or other valuable things, have long been dug up. Now, there is almost nothing but firewood. Along the way, Xu Xingxia met a few people collecting firewood.

"Brother! Girl! Are you here to hunt? I just saw a red deer here, really, what a big red deer! Unfortunately, it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. If you had come earlier, you would have seen it. ”

Coincidentally, as soon as Xu Xingxia and Niuniu came to the woods, they found that Xu Xudong came out with a load of dry firewood. His body was thin and small, and when he picked firewood, it was as if he was sandwiched between two bundles of dry firewood. Seeing his brother and sister coming, Xu Xudong hurriedly put down the firewood, followed suit, and said excitedly.

He, like Niu Niu, is barefoot. He also has a pair of cloth shoes, which he is also willing to wear only when it is coldest in winter. Because he often travels, fetchs firewood and water, this ten-year-old boy's feet are bigger than the average person. The circumference of the foot board is densely covered with various scars. The calluses under the soles of the feet are half an inch thick.

"Red deer?"

Xu Xingxia muttered to himself softly.

He didn't believe his brother's words. This forest is the remnant of Helan Mountain, yes, and occasionally, some prey will appear. However, large animals such as red deer are basically not found here. Besides, there are quite a few hunters who usually visit here, and if a red deer appears, it will definitely cause a sensation.

In order not to disappoint his younger brothers and sisters, Xu Xingxia did not say anything. He hoped that he could inadvertently encounter some pheasants and hares or something, and then hoped that with God's care, the arrows he shot could accurately hit the target. In this way, everyone has a meal of meat to eat. It's pitiful, the whole family of the Xu family has not tasted meat for four or five months.

With his younger brothers and sisters, he found a remote corner, Xu Xingxia untied his iron-backed bow, took out a black feather arrow, and aimed at a big tree sixty or seventy meters away. His original intention was just to test the range of the Black Feather Arrow to see if the Iron Back Bow had aged for a long time. If everything is working properly, he will use the Ironback Bow as a weapon in the future.

However, the strange thing is that at the moment of bending the bow and arrow, Xu Xingxia suddenly had a subtle feeling that he would definitely be able to shoot the big tree. Because, at that moment, in his eyes, there was only the big tree, and nothing else. This feeling is like sitting in front of the computer in the previous life, the characters in the archery game, ready to release arrows. With his 100-level full-level strength, the distance of sixty or seventy meters is a piece of cake at all!

Slowly pull the bowstring until the full moon.

Let go gently.

"Whoosh!"

The Black Feather Arrow roared away.

"Tuk!"

A low, muffled sound came.

The arrow slammed into the trunk of the tree.
