Several crossbow arrows were shot out. Cha Shuo leaned down to dodge and easily dodged the arrows. However, two more crossbow arrows were fired immediately. Cha Shuo asked the horse to turn around and blocked it with the shield in his hand. This move was smooth and smooth.
, making the village men waiting aside cheer.
Cha Shuo's riding skills are indeed high, but Zhao Xueyi is also very happy. This is the second time they have modified the crossbow. The first time they could not even touch the side of Cha Shuo, but after this improvement, the distance of the crossbow is obviously much farther.
few.
Zhao Xueyi handed the crossbow to Shi Ping next to him, and the men from the sixteen households practiced riding and archery almost at the same time. Shi Ping made the fastest progress and was the most accurate in shooting with crossbow arrows.
The crossbow arrow arrived in Shi Ping's hand, and Shi Ping stared closely at Cha Shuo on the horse. Cha Shuo's riding skills were so good, and the cheers from the people in Fang Cai's village suddenly aroused the young man's fighting spirit. He calmed down and took aim.
Check the master, then pull the trigger.
An arrow shot out, followed by another.
Cha Shuo also felt that there was something different this time, so he couldn't help but put away his joyful thoughts and began to deal with it solemnly.
After dodging two more arrows in succession, Cha Shuo was obviously struggling to deal with it, and one arrow barely missed his shoulder.
Shi Ping also stopped at this time.
When Zhao Luoyang heard this in his mind, he said: "Shi Ping's accuracy is not good enough. If Nie Shuang or Huaiqing were to come over, Cha Shuo would be shot."
Zhao Luoyang could hear the arrogance in Shi Jiu's words. Even if he switched to the flat tone of the system, he could still feel his emotions.
This is more than just testing crossbow arrows, there is more or less personal vendetta involved.
Cha Shuo drove his horse over, jumped off the horse, and grabbed Shi Ping. The man in the village was always bold, so he reached out and patted Shi Ping on the back and said: "Hey, okay, it's getting better and better.
It seems I will have to prepare two shields next time."
Shi Ping almost choked when he was photographed, but the young man refused to admit defeat and held it back. He also laughed with Cha Shuo: "We will change it when we go back. You have to wear thicker clothes next time in case you are shot."
It won’t hurt.”
In fact, it is just a crossbow test. There is no need to do this. You only need to see the distance and force of each arrow shot. But this incident made everyone interested. This not only allows you to practice crossbows, but also encourages the men in the village to practice horseback riding.
of effort.
After Zha Shuo and Shi Ping finished talking, they went to salute Zhao Xueyi, and then looked at Zhao Luoyang.
Shi Jiu couldn't help but snorted in his heart. After all, he still couldn't get around this.
Cha Shuo walked up to Zhao Luoyang, then stretched out his hand to touch his head. Before, he talked to A Yang very casually, but recently, for some unknown reason, he couldn't help but feel nervous every time he saw A Yang.
Cha Shuo said: "The leather mattress you sent last time was very good. I... gave it to my aunt, and she liked it very much."
"I sold it to you," Zhao Luoyang said with a smile, "you gave me the money."
Cha Shuo laughed: "That's something you can't buy outside."
After saying this, Cha Shuo paused and continued: "A Ying was busy in the sheepfold today. When he saw me, he told me that if he saw you, I would tell you and go over and have a look when I have time."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "I will go over after these two days of busy work." Zhao Luoyang has been really busy recently. The village has begun to make sheepskin blankets, cooked leather, and a group of people are making farm tools.
Zhaizi ran back and forth to the village and could not say a few words to Bai Yuying, let alone visit the sheepfold.
Zha Shuo had nothing else to say. Zhao Luoyang and the others were also preparing to return to the village. Zhao Xueyi also discussed with Niu Daochang how to further modify the hand crossbow. After finishing the hand crossbow, he would make a bed crossbow.
The group of people came out of the village and went straight back to the village.
One good thing about Fengxia Village now is that you don't have to worry about food and drink. You can always find hot food no matter when you go to the courtyard.
Shi Ping took the wild vegetable cake and drank the hot soup. The excitement on his face had not faded. He looked at Zhao Luoyang: "Sister, can you take me with you next time you try the crossbow?"
Zhao Luoyang nodded, and Shi Ping said: "Then I will practice more these days."
Zhao Luoyang discovered that Shi Ping was really a good player. He was very good at everything he did. He could also sell things with Feng Laosan. He was also good at riding, shooting, boxing, and kicking. He would be able to manage a lot of things in Fengxia Village in the future.
"Two more people came here today to eat and drink," Grandma Xu came over and sat down and said to Zhao Luoyang, "They are far away. They came from a village thirty miles away. They all heard that the food in our village is easy."
After eating, I followed the workers and sneaked in, but as soon as I entered the village, I was discovered by Meng Gao. Meng Gao didn't alert them, just to see what they were going to do."
"The two children came over, took the cake and started eating. Meng Gao waited until they finished eating before going over to ask them questions."
The two children are both younger and taller. They have a sallow complexion and look like they don't have enough to eat on weekdays. If they were older, Meng Gao's people who stayed in the village to patrol would not let them enter the village.
Grandma Xu said: "Both my parents are dead at home, and I heard from a passing businessman that Fengxia Village is good, so I found it here."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Where are the people?"
Grandma Xu pointed to the East Village. There was an open space to the east of the East Village. The area over there was now used to cook leather goods. If anyone came looking for work, they would start from there. This was Zhao
Luoyang and the others have decided.
Fengxia Village needs manpower. As long as they live a good life, people outside will envy them and want to work with them. How many fields can they cultivate just by relying on their own village?
People in the nearby villages must also be willing to listen to them. Just saying it with your mouth is not enough, you must also be seen that working with them can lead to good results.
Xu A'nai said: "Meng Gao said, if you still want to eat here, you have to work hard. If you do well, you can stay. If you don't do well, you won't be able to enter the village again. The two children will stay there and be busy.
Already."
On weekdays, Zhao Luoyang and the others go out to work, and the ones left in the village are all older people. Don’t underestimate these older people, each one has a sharper eye than the other. They have seen a lot, and they will know what is going on at a glance. Zhao
Luo Yang told them that the safety of the village depends on them.
Everyone has taken this to heart. They have no strength now, and they don’t have Mr. Song’s ability. They can’t help with anything. They can still eat well with everyone. They were already feeling sorry, but now they finally have a job, so naturally they have to
Get it done.
So every day when you sit at the entrance of the village, you have to look at the people coming and going. If there is anyone with bad intentions, it will be difficult to sneak in. Even if you pass this level, there are still people who patrol every day.
"Don't worry," Grandma Xu said, "We will keep an eye on the new arrivals."
Zhao Luoyang nodded, and just as he put down the bowl in his hand, he heard Shi Erhei's voice coming from outside.
"Sister, someone is here."
Following Shi Erhei's words, a person strode in, it was Qin Gao whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Qin Gao looked at the people in the yard, first saluted the elders Xu A'nai, then Zhao Xueyi and others, and finally walked up to Zhao Luoyang.
"I'm here," Qin Gao said without hesitation, "I brought five people with me."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Are they all businessmen?"
Qin Gao laughed: "There are only two merchants, and those three are the ones who hang out with me on weekdays. Didn't you say in your letter that you are short of money? They have it."
Qin Gao was invited by Zhao Luoyang to help, but he didn't expect him to come so happily.
Qin Gao didn't see anyone outside and looked at the kitchen: "Is there anything left to eat?"
"Yes," Grandma Xu said, "I can have it hot whenever I come, but it's just not as good as what you eat at home."
When they were in Minzhou, Qin Tongpan and his son helped deal with Sun Ji. Everyone knew that although they were not familiar with him, they could not resist the enthusiasm of the sixteen households.
Qin Gao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked around and saw the men sweating profusely after eating. It was the first time for him to eat with so many people: "It looks delicious. Let me have a taste."
