Chapter 2 Crisis

After Wu Nian returned to his bedroom, he saw the bow and arrow hanging on the wall at a glance.

In my memory, this bow has been here for a long time. Wu's father rarely takes the bow to shoot arrows, let alone him? If the bow is not maintained, it will break.

Hope this thing can still be used.

He quickly stepped forward, took off the bow and arrow, and placed it in his hand to check it. Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the bow and arrow, his heart still sank.

This big black bow not only has its bow string broken, but also has traces of insect damage on the body, and it has been completely scrapped. Looking at the arrows again, the arrows are rusted.

This is a sad time.

The border of the Great Chu State was abolished, and the military households helped the officers farm and became slaves. They even rarely even shot bows and archers, let alone guarding the border and guarding against foreign races.

But on the other hand, the Mongols and Yuan people in the north became stronger and frequently entered the Great Chu to rob, which had become a climate.

"This is what history books say. In the end of the dynasty, life may be more difficult."

Wu Nian shook his head and threw these ideas out of his head. Let's talk about what happened in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to get a bow.

There are only two ways: borrow a bow and make your own bow.

Wu Nian chose to make his own bow without hesitation.

As a mercenary, survival in the wild is one of the basic abilities. How to make simple bows and arrows is also a basic thing.

After making a plan, Wu Nian took out some copper coins from the box under the bed. He didn't count it, so he put it in his arms and went out.

The gambling will not give up the financial power, and the former head of the Wu family will be money.

After Wu Nian left the bedroom, he strode towards the door. But he found that Liu Xiang was standing in the kitchen without moving, not knowing what was in his hand. He couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Xiang'er. What's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

Liu Xiang shook her body, and the arsenic in her hand was almost scared. But she quickly recovered from calmness, turned around and said coldly.

Wu Nian didn't think much about it, but instead felt that he should show it. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiang'er. I'll go out to buy mulberry wooden bows today. When the bow is ready, I'll go to the mountains to hunt. I promise that we will have meat every day in the future."

Liu Xiang was unmoved, and Wu Nian also said similar things.

Liu Xiang once believed it, but within a few days Wu Nian would resurface with the same thing, drink, drink wildly, and then beat her.

Beating to death is like beating a dog. No, it is even more cruel than that. Even a dog is a good master in guarding the house. Ordinary dog-raising families generally do not beat dogs.

She is not even as good as a dog.

Liu Xiang thought of the excitement, her face showed a blue color, but her little hands turned white, revealing white bones. She stretched out three white fingers and sneered: "Three days, your words are worth up to three days. There will be no more than one day. Will I believe you?"

Wu Nian was very embarrassed when she heard this. It was really hard to talk to the little girl movie. Every time she was sarcastic.

But Wu Nian was not angry. Liu Xiang was too miserable, he could only sympathize and pity.

But speaking more is useless, and you will have credit when you do it. If you can't do it, you will brag. If you have meat, you will have good days and good days will be prosperous. Xiang'er will also become fat and beautiful.

He smiled and walked towards the gate.

"Hmph." Liu Xiang let out a cold snorted from the tip of her nose, and then fell into struggle again. Should I poison him to death?

Her eyes were filled with fear, and death was not so easy to decide. She was afraid.

Wu Nian naturally didn't know that his child bride had the intention of dying together.

He stepped out of the house with great confidence and came outside. The entire Baihu House was a small castle.

The castle is very crowded, and the air emits various odors. The city walls are dilapidated, and some gaps can pass through people.

In addition, the combat power of the soldiers is actually just a piece of paper, and it will be broken with just one stab.

This castle guarding the border is completely abandoned.

However, there are still some basic daily necessities in the castle. There are grain and oil shops, grocery shops, and of course, blacksmith shops are indispensable.

However, there have been fewer people making weapons over the years, and there are so many people making agricultural tools.

After Wu Nian went on the street, I don’t know if it was an illusion. Everyone around looked at him with strange eyes. They even automatically avoided a little road and let him go first. This scene was like a bully in the village, domineering.

Or it can be said that it is a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.

"Oh." Wu Nian sighed again, and came to the grocery store next to the blacksmith shop helplessly, and said to the grocery store owner Lao Wang: "Lao Wang. Give me a piece of mulberry wood."

Lao Wang is an old man in his fifties and has rich experience in the 100-household office. He guessed Wu Nian’s purpose. He was not afraid of Wu Nian, so he shook his head and said, “I have no materials for making bows here for many years.”

"Um?!"

Wu Nian opened his eyes wide in surprise. This time he really couldn't hold back. There was no bow-making material for the grocery store in this side castle?

"It takes money to make bows. If you have that money, people might as well buy some delicious food for themselves. If no one makes bows, I will certainly not include the ingredients." Old Wangren was a mature person, guessed Wu Nian's thoughts, and said with a sneer.

What Lao Wang said is true, combined with Wu Nian's memory, he has seen and heard. In addition to Liu Xiang's incident, he also has a sense of urgency.

This small 100-household house may cause disaster at any time.

After leaving the grocery store, Wu Nian began to feel troubled. This clever woman couldn't cook without rice. Without the materials for making bows, he could not have made a bow out of thin air.

Wood is easy to deal with. Go up the mountain to find the rest of the materials needed to make bows?

"It seems that I can only borrow a bow." Wu Nian sighed and said in his heart.

If possible, Wu Nian didn't want to borrow a bow.

If you start borrowing a bow, it is similar to borrowing money. Don’t you have to be humble if you borrow money?

But the situation at home cannot be dragged any more. Without bows, you can't hunt and improve your life. This home really doesn't look like a home.

Wu Nian quickly returned to his dilapidated yard. Liu Xiang was drying clothes. When she heard the movement, she looked back at Wu Nian, with a cold look in her eyes.

Wu Nian remembered that he had made a boast of Haikou, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and explained: "The grocery store has no bow-making materials, so I'll think about where to borrow a bow."

"Hehe." Liu Xiang sneered, and his thin body bent down and picked up the large wooden basin, and put it in the door of the main hall with great difficulty.

Wu Nian was both embarrassed and heartbroken. Her thin body struggled to pick up the wooden basin, let alone washing clothes. Over the years, she has really suffered too much.

"Oh." Wu Nian sighed, went back to his bedroom and lay down, thinking about who to borrow a bow in his mind.

Liu Xiang stood at the window at some point, staring at Wu Nian silently as if she was a ghost.

She finally made up her mind.

Poison this bastard.

Although Wu Nian repeatedly promised to go hunting with a bow, she didn't believe the words of a drunkard or a gambler who was full of lies.

All poisoned to death.

"You can see your parents when you die." Liu Xiang's eyes began to roll. The parents in her heart were her adoptive parents.

My parents are so nice to her, leaving everything delicious to her.

My family was so good before.
