Chapter 17 17 Two Arrows
Chapter 17 17. Two Arrows
Gah.
Gah, gah, gah.
The earthen bow was fragile and about to break, and it seemed to be trembling and wailing.
When Li Yuan used his strength, his strong muscles swelled up, and his arm circumference was much larger than that of an ordinary adult man, thick and strong as iron, all of which was exposed to everyone without concealment.
Xiong Ge and Qian Er saw it clearly, and they were secretly shocked.
Before the two came this morning, they had already heard the news from the ruffian named Xiaohu, guessing that Li Yuan was a hidden murderer.
Seeing this posture again, it was as if they had seen the true appearance of this murderer, and at the same time verified their guess.
Both of them began to unconsciously produce subtle changes in their hearts.
Drool! !
Li Yuan let go.
The first arrow shot towards the old poplar tree on the left.
After shooting, he didn't even look at it.
But he heard a man shouting in the distance.
"Hit!"
"Really hit!!"
Brother Xiong's face darkened, but Qian Er was quite proud.
Brother Xiong had no hope after hitting the left side.
Now there were only two possibilities: one was that the right side would not hit, and Li Yuan would follow Qian Er; the other was that the right side would hit, and neither of them would help.
Qian Er smiled and quickly raised the price, saying: "Li Yuan, this arrow hit the wrong side. Follow me, and I will help you marry another beautiful concubine this afternoon, so that you can enjoy the happiness of having two wives."
He was raising the price and also interfering.
Li Yuan did not answer, but raised his right hand, and took out another arrow with his middle and index fingers.
Bend the bow, and put the arrow.
Swoosh!!!
After shooting an arrow, he slowly withdrew his hand.
Everyone looked and saw that the arrow pierced the clouds and caught the wind, and in a moment it had already hit the stone between the poplar trees on the right.
Bang!
The stone flew out, the arrow broke through the air, and swept forward more than ten meters before landing.
This time, Qian Er was also stunned.
The air seemed a little quiet.
And this silence was soon broken by Li Yuan's laughter.
"Hahaha!! I was lucky enough to be hit by two arrows today. It seems that God wants me to not help either of them!" Li Yuan's left arm was hanging down, standing still.
Xiong Ge, Qian Er, and a group of younger brothers looked over.
But they saw that this boy who was a little listless on weekdays had eyes like lightning, stood like a tower, and was calm and composed like a mountain pressing down, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Several people looked at him, but after making eye contact with him, they all avoided him.
Xiong Ge was the first to react, clapping his hands and laughing: "Brother Li is really a hero! I surrender today!!"
After that, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go."
He threw away his arms and went back to where he came from.
Qian Er glanced at Li Yuan with a "tsk tsk" sound. He was actually quite satisfied with the result. He didn't really want Li Yuan to join the Qian family. He came here just to disrupt Brother Xiong's recruitment. At this time, he said, "Li Yuan, goodbye."
The group of people came in a mighty manner, but they left very quickly.
In a short while, they disappeared completely.
Li Yuan took back the bow. He just used 30% of his ability. This ability would make Brother Xiong think that "if I am in good condition, I can do the same."
This is very good. It won't make people feel too threatened, but people won't dare to target him again. In the future, he can walk on the road with a swagger after hunting roe deer meat.
He was about to turn around, but Xiaohu came from behind with three or four ruffians.
They had admiration on their faces.
"Brother's methods, I saw it today, it's really..." Xiaohu's voice was flattering.
Li Yuan interrupted him directly and said, "Get the meat."
"Hey, yes, yes." Xiaohu hunched his back and followed Li Yuan. Seeing Yan Yu looking out the window, Xiaohu nodded and bowed hurriedly, calling out, "Sister-in-law."
Before the "sister-in-law" in "sister-in-law" fell, a slap hit his head.
Li Yuan looked at him coldly, "Did I recognize you?"
Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yuan, please let us brothers follow you.
We follow you not because we want to eat meat, each of us still has some food in stock.
The main thing is that in this small ink shop, we are just a group of wild cats and dogs. We look like we can bully everywhere, but in fact we are nothing.
You are a good man, and you just showed off your skills. The brothers all obey you.
From now on, you will be our boss, and we will do whatever you want us to do."
Li Yuan looked at him coldly, then turned back to the house, grabbed a kitchen knife, cut off a piece of roe deer meat, and threw it to him from a distance.
Xiaohu took it with both hands.
Li Yuan said, "Three pounds, I'll give it to you.
If you have a way to the black market, you can come to me again.
Next time, use your brain when you speak.
There are Brother Xiong and the Qian family in the neighborhood. I will take you in again. Why would I go against them?"
Xiao Hu was stunned.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Hu turned around and left in a hurry, and gently closed the fence door.
Li Yuan returned to the house, and Lady Yan also retreated from the window, blinking her watery almond eyes and staring at him in a daze, her little hands restlessly pinching the corner of her blue clothes.
Li Yuan laughed and went forward to hug Lady Yan.
Lady Yan gently hit him and asked with resentment, "When did you become so powerful?"
"When you think I'm in a state of disorder." Li Yuan said.
Lady Yan was speechless immediately.
What else is there to complain about?
Her man didn't hide it from her, she just didn't believe it.
But she hadn't vented her emotions yet, and said, "You are so powerful, go and marry Fang Xiaoqi this afternoon."
"If you don't marry her, I will only focus on Sister Yan." Li Yuan said.
Lady Yan blushed, "What did you say? Why can't you say it in such a rough way?"
Li Yuan was a pig butcher before traveling through time. Although he was a literary youth before butchering pigs, after killing pigs, the two did not merge, nor did he "transfer" into a "midnight pig-killing poet". It made him feel inferior during the party, but it had no other use.
"Sister Yan, I am a rough person. How can I not be rough in my words?"
"Rough guy? Why didn't I know?" Yan Yu thought for a while and felt that Brother Yuan was quite normal. He hadn't seen how rude he was before.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you know?"
Um?
Lady Yan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she hit him again with both hands, saying coquettishly: "I hate it!"
Li Yuan laughed, put Yan Yu down, and then said: "It took me so long, we have to go up the mountain."
"There is still meat at home."
"I'll shoot a roe deer today and exchange some money for it tomorrow." Li Yuan took the hatchet and turned away, saying, "Isn't the bottom of the corn coming soon?"
Mrs. Yan said angrily: "If you say you want to hunt roe deer, then beat the roe deer. Are the beasts in Xiaomo Mountain raised by your family?"
"Yes, they are raised by my family." Old God Li Yuan responded on the ground, and then walked out under the stunned eyes of Lady Yan.
In the evening, Li Yuan came back carrying a roe deer again under Lady Yan's blank gaze.
Light snow began to fall in the sky.
Li Yuan threw the roe deer in the corner.
It's freezing cold, but the roe deer won't go bad even if it stays overnight.
After the two took a shower, they lay down on the bed hugging each other.
After a while of tossing, Lady Yan lay gently in Li Yuan's arms and talked in pillow talk.
"Brother Yuan, Feng'er came to me to apologize today, saying that I shouldn't have said that to you that day."
“I went out today, and many people came to talk to me.
However, I still only found Aunt Wang.
I told Aunt Wang that my man had meat that he wanted to sell.
Aunt Wang asked her man to ask if the restaurant would accept it when he went to the restaurant tomorrow.
If the restaurant charges it, the price will definitely be much better than what the grain merchant charges. "
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let Uncle Wang ask.
But I still have to sell this roe deer tomorrow, otherwise the meat will be stale. "
It snowed heavily all night.
The next day, the snow was knee deep.
Lady Yan held the roe deer in front of the door for her man, and breathed out a sigh of relief: "Come back soon."
Li Yuan responded, carrying his bow and roe deer, and walked farther away step by step.
In this snow-white, pure and lonely world, many people and movements disappeared suddenly.
The grain merchant doing business in the village was not the Fulin Chamber of Commerce that the Qian family was familiar with, but another one, but Li Yuan didn't pay attention before.
At this time, when he came to the grain store with a sack on his back, he raised his eyes and glanced, and saw "Four Rivers Chamber of Commerce" written on the plaque, so he walked inside.
There was some inexplicable commotion inside, and I didn't know what was going on.
And a man stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Li Yuandao: "Do you accept meat sellers?"
"open to take a look."
Li Yuan put down the sack and opened it.
The man came over to take a look and saw that it was a complete roe deer. He frowned and thought, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you Li Yuan?"
Li Yuandao: "It's me."
The man smiled and said, "You have been so majestic these past two days."
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "I can barely keep my mouth shut and support my family."
The man glanced at his figure and suddenly said: "Let me meet you. My name is Zhao Feng, and I manage this grain store."
Li Yuan glanced at him and saw "2~3" floating on the top of this man's head. He was obviously a man who had never entered the first rank, but was already a powerful person among ordinary people.
"Brother Zhao, nice to meet you." Li Yuan clasped his fists.
Zhao Fengdao: "I'll give you the price of this roe deer according to the price in the county. I won't cheat you."
Li Yuandao: "Thank you so much, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Feng called for grain, and then someone from the grain store took the roe deer and weighed it.
Zhao Feng said: "I know you are a good man and you are also good at archery. Are you interested in joining our Sihe Chamber of Commerce?"
Seeing that Li Yuan was about to speak, Zhao Feng waved his hand and said, "Listen to me first."
He smacked his lips, took two steps with his hands behind his hands, and then looked at Li Yuandao: "Let me tell you straight, in a few days, our grain store will withdraw from Shanbao County."
"Why is that so?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
Zhao Feng lowered his voice and said: "The Red Lotus bandits have revolted. Shanbao County is so close that they must retreat! Now, our Chamber of Commerce is recruiting warriors from all over to retreat together. Do you want to join us?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and after the person from the grain store delivered the big money, he said, "Brother Zhao, let me go back and think about it again."
He didn't want to agree.
It's a question of whether you can trust someone even though they have a simple conversation.
Moreover, serving as a bodyguard for the Chamber of Commerce in these troubled times is a dangerous thing.
If the Chamber of Commerce wants to run around, you have to follow them everywhere.
And isn't it this kind of chamber of commerce that the Green Forest Strongman and the Red Lotus Thief that Zhao Feng mentioned are targeting?
Zhao Fengdao: "Well, if you are determined, just come here and tell me within three days."
