Very impressive

"My cousin brought it," Guan Xiaorou said with a red face, "it's said to be a wedding gift for us."

Jin Feng immediately understood that it must be his cousin who was afraid of Guan Xiaorou marrying him and going hungry.

"Thank you, cousin. Have you?"

"Are you not angry?" Guan Xiaorou asked tentatively.

She had heard of it in Guanjiawan that Jin Feng claimed to be a scholar, very concerned about his face, and worried that he thought his cousin was humiliating him.

"Why am I angry?"

Jin Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, my cousin is doing it for you and I feel sorry for you. I didn't have time to thank her, let alone give her such a big gift."

Lin Yunfang's man Zhang Liang joined the army a few years ago and lost an arm on the battlefield, unable to do many tasks. Zhang Mancang broke his leg on the mountain when he was young, and since then he has become a cripple, only able to make a living by chopping wood and burning charcoal.

The family was already struggling and couldn't eat enough meals a year.

Lin Yunfang was able to deliver a pack of wild vegetables, which is indeed a great gift.

Given the current conditions of Jin Feng's family, they don't eat at noon either. However, it is said that Jin Feng will go hunting in the mountains this afternoon, so Guan Xiaorou still cooked some porridge.

This time, no matter what Jin Feng said, even if she was as fierce as yesterday, it was useless. She just refused to eat and stubbornly squatted in the yard, looking at the crossbow.

Although Dakang already had crossbows, due to outdated craftsmanship, the operation of the crossbows produced was complex and their practicality was not high. Therefore, they were rarely seen in the folk. Hunters still prefer to use relatively simple long bows.

"Master, is this a bow? Why is it different from the bow and arrow of our village hunter uncle?"

Guan Xiaorou asked curiously as it was her first time seeing a crossbow.

"This is called a crossbow!"

Jin Feng took the crossbow, drew the arrow on the string, and pulled the trigger towards a large tree more than twenty meters away.

Whoosh!

Arrows flew out and nailed onto the tree, but the arrows sank into the trunk, causing a buzzing and trembling tail.

"Okay... so amazing!" Guan Xiaorou was startled and said, "Master, did you do this?"

"Who else besides me?"

Looking into Guan Xiaorou's sparkling eyes, Jin Feng felt quite proud.

Teach Guan Xiaorou how to use a bow and crossbow for a while, and Jin Feng puts his arrow bag on his back and walks out of the courtyard.

Just as I left, I met a group of women who went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables.

"Jin Feng, why are you going without accompanying the bride at home?"

A girl with two braids of sheep horns asked with a frown and a wink.

She is the daughter of the village chief's family, with a lively personality. The unmarried girls and some young daughter-in-law in the village all follow her lead.

"Go hunting in the back mountain!" Jin Feng replied casually.

"Are you going hunting?" Xiaoyu smiled and said, "When did you learn to hunt?"

"Do you need to manage it?"

Jin Feng was too lazy to entangle with a group of women and quickened his pace with his head covered.

Some women were curious about the crossbow in Jin Feng's hand, but before they could ask, Jin Feng left.

"Don't get lost when entering the mountain!" Xiaoyu shouted from behind, "If you can't hit anything, come back quickly. Don't make the bride wait in a hurry!"

The other women laughed even harder.

There are often people moving around the back mountain, and there are not many prey. If you want to hunt, you have to turn over the mountain and go deeper into the old forest.

In his past life, Jin Feng was a child from a mountain village. He had been hunting with his grandfather in the mountains since he was young, and was not unfamiliar with the mountains at all. With a curved crossbow, he skillfully navigated through the jungle, searching for clues left by animals.

At this time, it is the end of spring, with lush mountains and tree crowns covering the sky and sun, making it the season with the most frequent animal activity.

Not long after, Jin Feng found a gray rabbit drinking water next to a small puddle.

The wild rabbit is extremely vigilant, even when drinking water, its eyes keep scanning around.

Patience is a basic quality for a hunter. At this point, the rabbit was within the range of the crossbow, but Jin Feng did not take action. Instead, he patiently waited with the crossbow.

When the rabbit finished drinking water and turned around to leave, he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

In the blink of an eye, Arrow flew over the distance between the two and nailed the Grey Rabbit to the ground. By the time Jin Feng rushed over, it had completely died.

"Not bad, quite fat."

Jin Feng stuffed the rabbit into his waist bag, put away his arrows, and continued to search for the next prey.

The sun is setting in the west, and the women digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain are ready to go back.

"Hey, have you seen Jin Feng come back?"

The village chief's daughter, Xiaoyu, asked others.

"I didn't see you."

"I haven't seen either."

"Can't you really get lost?"

"Didn't you encounter a wolf?"

"If you encounter a wolf, you can still run away, but if you encounter a bandit, it's over!"

"I heard that there are mountain ghosts in Laoniuling, and he only married a disaster star. What should he do if he encounters evil spirits?"

The village women are ignorant and speak harshly, but most of them are simple. They often run against Jin Feng, but no one really wants him to die.

Watching the sun almost set and Jin Feng still not coming back, everyone became somewhat worried.

Xiaoyu looked at the hunter's concubine and said, "Cuihua, the head of your family is familiar in the mountains. Why don't you let him go and take a look?"

"The head of the family went to the town to repair the bow today and can only come back tonight."

"You guys wait here, I'll go back and have my dad call someone to search in the mountains." Xiaoyu was a little anxious.

"Look, there's someone over there, isn't it Jin Feng?"

The Hunter's Concubine pointed to the back mountain.

In the sunset, a figure crossed the ridge and was descending the mountain.

"It's not who he is!"

Xiaoyu murmured, noticeably relieved.

"Did you say he hit something?"

"According to the head of the household, rabbits and wild chickens in the mountains are even more intelligent than humans, and they run away without paying attention."

The Hunter's Concubine said, "Jin Feng has never gone hunting in the mountains before. It would be great if he didn't get lost."

"Yeah, if the prey were so easy to hunt, everyone would go up the mountain to hunt."

A woman agreed.

But as Jin Feng got closer, many people saw the bulging cloth bag around his waist, still dripping blood.

"Jin Feng, did you hit something?"

As Jin Feng approached, women gathered around him one after another.

"Of course!" Jin Feng proudly threw the two rabbits to the ground.

"What a big rabbit, there are still two more!"

"This big one weighs six or seven pounds, right?"

"I think it's similar. These two rabbits can exchange at least 40 kilograms of millet in town."

No one jokes about Jin Feng anymore, everyone looks envious.

During leisure time, many people in the village will try their luck on the mountain, but most people don't have bows and arrows. With just two legs, who can drive rabbits in the mountains?

Most of the time, they return empty handed.

I didn't expect Jin Feng to have such a great harvest when he first went hunting in the mountains.

Forty pounds of millet, boiling porridge with wild vegetables is enough for two people to spend the winter.

"Jin Feng, are you the rabbit you beat with this thing?"

Xiaoyu pointed at the crossbow and asked curiously, "Show me."

"Yes."

They were all from the same village, and Jin Feng didn't hide anything. He generously showed them the bows and crossbows.

"Can I give it a try?" Xiaoyu fiddled with her bow and crossbow, eager to give it a try.
