Chapter 35: Rice is the hard currency in the rat world Not bad! Gu Chan doesn’t have time to practice slowly now. What she wants is quick success, otherwise her future journey will be very difficult. Judging from the fact that Zhao Erniu boasted in the forest yesterday that his bow weighed sixty stones, but in fact it was not that heavy, although this man was a genuine hunter, he was definitely a poor archer. So, I cannot improve my archery skills by learning from him. Qin Xiang in front of him is different. Her husband is a soldier in the military camp, so she is naturally influenced by him. In addition, she has been running a weapons shop for many years, so she has a deep understanding of various weapons. It will definitely be beneficial to learn from her in the future. Thinking of this, Gu Chan studied harder and more attentively. Seeing Gu Chan so serious, Qin Xiang nodded with satisfaction and taught him everything she knew, "Remember, when the bow is fully drawn, you need to let your eyes pass through one side of the bowstring so that the crosshairs and the yellow center of the target coincide with each other, and let your eyes, one side of the bowstring, the crosshairs and the yellow center form a straight line, thus forming the aiming baseline." "Got it." Gu Chan said in a loud voice. "After aiming, continue to increase your strength and at the same time quickly open the three fingers of your right hand that are holding the string, and the arrow will be shot out." Qin Xiang said at the end, her tone becoming heavier.
Gu Chan received the order and quickly released the fingers that were holding the arrow. "Whoosh!" There was a bright whooshing sound, and a long arrow flew out from the armory at lightning speed, accurately hitting an empty bird's nest on the branch of a big tree across the street. "Clap clap clap..." Qin Xiang looked up and couldn't help but applaud and praise, "Well, I was right about you. You are really gifted. I didn't expect that you could hit the bird's nest so accurately the first time I taught you." "It's still you who taught me well, boss lady." Gu Chan had a good grasp of the ways of the world and flattered Qin Xiang at the right time. Qin Xiang shook her head and said seriously, "No, it has nothing to do with me. It's mainly you, because from my shop to the big tree opposite, the distance is at least more than ten feet. At such a distance, you can still accurately shoot such a small target with one arrow, which is enough to prove that you are extremely talented." "Madam boss, I feel a little embarrassed by your praise." Gu Chan laughed, feeling a little proud. Qin Xiang shook her head and continued, "Okay, now that the arrow has hit the target, relax your left arm from the wrist, elbow, shoulder to the whole body in sequence." Gu Chan followed her instructions, slowly exhaled, and slowly relaxed her whole body. "The last step is to finish the shooting. When the shooting process is finished, put the bow down and return your body to the standing position." Qin Xiang explained the last step. Gu Chan obediently put down the heavy bow in her hand, let it hang at the side of her body, and then stood up straight. At this moment, she finally had a clear and thorough understanding of how to shoot arrows. In the future, when she wanted to shoot arrows again, she only needed to integrate these seven steps. In this case, all she needs is some time, and in time, her archery skills will surely be outstanding. Putting the bow on his back, Gu Chan bowed politely to Qin Xiang, "Thank you, Madam Boss. Thanks to you today, I can have a clear understanding of archery. I will trouble you for your guidance in the future." "Okay, as long as you're willing to give me money, I'll make money by teaching you." Qin Xiang waved her hand indifferently. Gu Chan nodded quietly. [Chichichi!] At this time, a series of chichi sounds suddenly came from the entrance of a rat hole on the right side outside the shop. After listening carefully, Gu Chan immediately suppressed her thoughts and said to Qin Xiang, "Boss Madam, I'll leave first. I'll come to learn from you another day." "No hurry! You gave me five taels of silver! I'll cook lunch for you, and you can eat before you leave." Qin Xiang was reluctant to let Gu Chan leave like this.
From what she had just learned, she could tell that the two of them had compatible personalities, and her man was in the barracks, so she was usually quite lonely. Now that she finally had someone to keep her company, how could she let him go so easily? Gu Chan waved her hands quickly, "No more, I have something urgent to do, maybe next time! You owe me a meal." "That's fine. Next time you come, I'll treat you to a meal." Qin Xiang saw that she couldn't stop him, so she had to give up. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to her and left, quietly walking towards a more remote corner in front. Coming to the corner, Gu Chan looked around and after making sure that no one was around, she whispered, "Come out!" Mickey Mouse responded and came out from a hole under the big tree on the right. Gu Chan walked over to it and squatted down, "How is it?" [I asked my brother, there is a treasure house to the west of Wang Yuanwai's house, which is used to store the treasures and herbs he looted. There are a lot of things in it.] Mickey replied. A sneer appeared on Gu Chan's face. She knew that Wang Feihu was not a good guy, otherwise his son Wang Tianxiao would not be so arrogant. God will not agree if we don't teach a lesson to this big bad guy who devours the people's money and blood! Gritting her teeth and making up her mind, Gu Chan immediately ordered, "Go tell your brother that I will sneak over when it gets dark and ask him to steal the treasure house key and come to help me." 【This...】 Mickey was in a dilemma. "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Gu Chan asked. Mickey said awkwardly, "Brother, you know, my brother has lived in the mansion for many years and has developed some bad habits. He doesn't even care about ordinary benefits. So he said that he can help you, but what good is this!" "Just tell me, what benefit does it want?" Gu Chan was displeased. Dry! This is really the case of "birds of a feather flock together". It was bad enough that the Wang family was arrogant, but he didn't expect that the rats in his house would also become arrogant. Wait until night to coax it first, and when it achieves its goal, then slowly deal with it. It must correct its bad habits. Yes! That's right, this is what Gu Chan was thinking at this moment. Mickey continued, "It said it needed at least a 20-pound bag of rice." "What? Is it crazy? Twenty kilograms in a bag? Do you know how expensive rice is?" Gu Chan's eyes widened and she felt numb. Rice in Wuheng County is already expensive at one tael of silver per catty, and twenty catties of rice will cost her twenty taels of silver! Where can she get so much money to buy rice? Mickey sat down on the ground, spread out his little mouse hands, and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Rice is the hard currency of our mouse world. If you can't give it to me, it can't help you steal the key to the treasure house." "Let me think about it." Gu Chan stroked her forehead with her hand, a troubled look on her face. Last time she sold the Bauhinia blood-red grass, she only got 130 taels of silver. Today she took out 50 taels to buy a bow, some steamed buns, and learn archery. She only has a dozen taels of silver left now. The money is definitely not enough to buy a 20-kilogram bag of rice. (End of this chapter)
