Chapter 24 Bow, Arrow and Shotgun
Seeing Lin Heng’s stern refusal, there was a sound of exhalation behind him.
“No, you don’t believe me so much?” Lin Heng was speechless when he heard this voice.
"No, we believe you very much." Father Lin walked out of the yard, and the sound of sticks falling to the ground was clearly heard behind him.
Lin Heng: "..."
You were clearly holding a stick just now, so you thought I was blind.
Fortunately, I didn’t go out, otherwise my leg might have been broken by now.
"Let's go back to the house for dinner." Mother Lin said and everyone went back to the house.
Although Xiulan did not look at Lin Heng, a happy and relieved smile appeared on her face.
For lunch, he ate steamed buns and the soup was potatoes stewed with dried green beans. Lin Heng couldn't eat it.
The grass carp was cut into pieces, rolled in flour and deep-fried.
“This grass carp is so delicious.” Third Dad praised.
“Yes, the meat is so delicate and tastes so good.” Sister-in-law Liu Juan also said with a smile.
The whole family was very satisfied, but Lin Heng felt it was just average. After eating a piece, he began to pick out the fish bones and feed it to his daughter.
“Daddy…”
After eating one, I was still not satisfied. I opened my mouth and asked for the second one, dancing with joy.
“Eat, eat, eat, all for you.”
After feeding his daughter, until she stopped eating, Lin Heng made a bowl of potato soup and ate it with the steamed buns.
"You haven't finished eating yet." While eating, a voice came from outside.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, a smile on his weathered face, and an ax in his hand.
"Uncle, sit down quickly and come over and have a drink." Lin Heng quickly gave up his seat and pulled his uncle to sit on the bench.
This man is Lin Heng's uncle Li Baiquan. Lin Heng's mother's family has a total of six brothers and sisters. The eldest, second and third are boys, while the fourth, fifth and sixth are all girls.
Lin Heng’s mother Lu Hongmei is the eldest sister, the second sister Lu Hongcui married to another village, and the third sister Lu Hongyun married his uncle Li Baiquan.
Li Baiquan looks older than Lin's father, Lin Xian, in his forties, but according to seniority, he has to be called eldest brother.
"I won't sit down, you guys eat. I just ate what I just ate. You brought a letter saying that you wanted to build a house and cut down trees, so I came over to help, and the seedlings just happened to be planted..." The uncle smiled and said Sit on the bench.
"Drink a little, and then go up the mountain to chop down trees after you finish eating." Father Lin smiled and poured wine.
"Yes, don't worry, uncle, you eat fish, we were lucky enough to catch it when we came back from the city last night." Lin Heng pointed at grass carp and said.
His uncle is also a very good person and likes to join in the fun. Whenever anything happens in the village, he will come to join in the fun and help.
Sometimes I would like to join in the fun even if I don’t have to work at home. It can be said that I am warm-hearted, or I can say that I can’t sit still and like to wander around.
After two glasses of wine, cheerful laughter suddenly rang out in the hall. Reminiscing about the past and bragging, three old men in their forties were in high spirits and told Lin Heng and Lin Yue about their past experiences. .
"Second brother, look, there are turtle doves eating dried fish." At this time, Caiyun suddenly spoke up, pointing to the turtle doves still eating fish in the yard.
Everyone in the room became quiet and quietly looked out.
Lin Heng glanced at the turtle dove, walked over and took out the bow and arrow, ready to test his accuracy. The distance was more than ten meters, so there should be no problem.
"Lin Heng, do you know how to use a bow and arrow?" My uncle showed a surprised expression. His family lived on the top of the mountain, and he often hunted with a hunting rifle.
I was surprised when I saw Lin Heng holding a bow and arrow.
Lin Heng said nothing, smiled slightly, took an arrow, and took aim.
With a whoosh, the sharp arrow flew out. First there was a pop, then a bang. The sharp arrow penetrated the turtle dove and shot into the earth wall for more than ten centimeters.
The effective shooting range of this hunting bow is fifty steps, which is forty or fifty meters. Now the distance is less than ten meters, so naturally one arrow penetrates it.
Bah bang bang! !
“Awesome, awesome!!” My uncle Li Baicheng was the first to applaud. "You're so awesome, Second Dad." The eldest nephew Lin Wei ran over and pulled out the arrow, his eyes were full of admiration.
Lin Heng has been regarded as a god. Even his mother Liu Juan’s eyes changed when she looked at Lin Heng. When did this second-rate guy still have such methods?
“This bow was not bought in vain.” Father Lin also gave a thumbs up. After seeing Lin Heng’s archery skills with their own eyes, everyone was convinced.
"Brother, who did you learn this skill from?" Caiyun asked doubtfully. I had never heard that my second brother could bow and arrow before. This is so amazing.
“I learned it in the city, and then I found out that I have a good talent and can learn it quickly.” Lin Heng said with a smile that he was the most familiar with the city. None of his family members had been there before, so he couldn’t use this excuse. Exposed.
"It's quite useful." Mother Lin praised firmly.
"Lin Heng, you are so powerful. It feels more convenient than a shotgun. Teach me and we can hunt together." Uncle Li Baiquan came over and said with a smile.
The hunting range of native hunting rifles in rural areas is only more than fifty meters, which is similar to that of bows and arrows. The advantage is that the ball killing area is large, which has a very good effect on large prey.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, loading ammunition is very troublesome. If you are not careful, it will easily explode the chamber, and the gunpowder will easily burn yourself. If you shoot small prey, it will be smashed to pieces after one shot.
Bows and arrows are much simpler. They are very useful as long as they are not used against large prey. Even large prey can be killed as long as they hit the vital points.
Small game is no big deal.
Lin Heng is very glad that he learned related technologies when he was bored in his previous life.
"Of course. Uncle, if you want to hunt pheasants and rabbits, you can use a slingshot. The effect is also very good. I have shot squirrels and pheasants before."
Lin Heng said with a smile .
“You can give it a try.” After hearing this, my uncle also became interested.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan also quietly pushed her husband Lin Yue a few times with her feet, signaling him to speak and study quickly. She was keen on Lin Heng's skills.
But Lin Yue didn't speak at all, just smiled and ate his food.
"Second father, I want to learn too." On the contrary, it was his son Lin Wei who surrounded Lin Heng and shouted that he wanted to learn.
"I brought back a motorcycle inner tube and will make a slingshot for you when the time comes." Lin Heng said without refusing.
After dinner, father Lin Xuan, eldest brother Lin Yue, third father Lin Xutao, and uncle Li Bai all took axes and went up the mountain to chop down trees for building houses in the afternoon.
Many trees are needed to build an earth house. The beams, floor slabs, and rafters all require large wood, at least fifteen centimeters in diameter.
Acorn trees with a diameter of five to six centimeters are also needed to be used in the earth walls to stretch the steel bars. These trees need to be cut down by themselves.
As for the women at home, they are temporarily responsible for the unfinished farm work in the fields and taking care of the children.
Lin Heng's whole body was sore and he had no strength to chop down trees. He was going to go hunting in the mountains and drove up the mountain.
As for why I have no strength and can still hunt despite being sore all over.
This is the same as a fisherman who works all day the night before, goes to bed at three o'clock, and gets up at five o'clock the next day to go fishing.
My body hurts, what does my fishing (hunting) have to do with it?
Although summer is not a good time for hunting, in order to make more money, your family can live a good life as soon as possible.
He decided to try his luck. It would be good to catch squirrels and pheasants.
“Ooooo~”
Xiongba ate a lot of potato dumplings mixed with steamed buns. He had a good appetite. Lin Heng touched its head and made a whining sound.
“It’s delicious and will make you healthy.” Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba’s head and said with a smile.
If he hadn't just killed a turtledove, the dog son Xiongba wouldn't be able to eat the cornbread.
