Chapter 201 Archery Training
When I got home, Uncle Yin and Grandma smiled and pulled the rocking chair away.
"Just now, your uncle was sneaking around your house. I was worried that he would go in and steal something, so I quickly came over to watch him. He didn't succeed at all."
Grandma Yin waved her hand and saw Xu Yiyi and Er'er.
His eyes narrowed into slits in an instant, and the corners of his mouth were raised high. His smile was like a chrysanthemum that had bloomed to its fullest, with gentleness and kindness hidden in the layers of lines.
"Are you back from fishing?"
Grandma Yin asked with concern.
He looked at the fish basket Xu Yiyi was carrying.
"Hey, why are there only conchs and clams? Did you go to the mudflats in the south?"
Grandma Yin asked with concern, saying that fewer people went to the mudflats over there.
Clams and conchs are everywhere, and you can find a lot of them just by picking them up.
"This stuff is all mud and sand, it's hard to handle, we won't eat it."
After saying this, Grandma Yin ran back home quickly.
The old lady injured her foot a few years ago and is unwilling to walk on weekdays.
He's running fast now.
Er Er smiled and opened the door.
The same words, spoken from the mouths of Yin and Nai, express concern.
What came out of Xu Guining's broken mouth was not well-intentioned.
Xu Yiyi also had a smile on her face.
Just as I entered the door, put down the fish basket, and was about to put Wu Yuan down.
Grandma Yin came over carrying a big fish.
"The fish your uncle caught has few bones, so my sister and brother won't have to worry about getting stuck when eating it."
As she spoke, Grandma Yin showed the fish to Xu Yiyi.
Then it was thrown into the pool in the yard.
"How about fish for dinner?"
Ah Yin and Ah Nai's hands are a little rough. It should be said that the hands of the hard-working fishermen on our seaside are all like this.
Not as delicate, but warm.
The skin on the back of the hand is loose and drooping, like the mottled and cracked old bark. Due to age, dark spots are scattered everywhere, and blue veins are bulging and crisscrossing like earthworms. The lines carved by time are so deep that they look like gullies.
Grandma Yin reached out and patted Xu Yiyi's hand, speaking as if to coax a child.
"Thank you, grandma. I'll bring you something delicious tonight."
Er'er responded with a smile, took the fish basket, and the clams and conchs fell into the wooden basin with a clatter.
As Ah Yin and Ah Nai listened, they laughed so hard that their bodies trembled slightly.
The shriveled lips shrank back, revealing the empty space inside. The toothless gums were clearly visible, and the pink gums were faintly visible between the lips.
But the smile overflowed from the toothless mouth without reservation, accompanied by a soft laugh.
He reached out again and touched Er'er's round little head.
"Then grandma will have to wait."
The old lady had no worries and the smile on her face never faded.
Seeing Sanchuan pulling Sihai back with a snowball in his hand and looking embarrassed, he laughed and joked.
When Er'er saw A Yue coming back, she quickly pulled her into the house to change her wet clothes.
Xu Yiyi put Wu Yuan back into the cradle and scooped up the water.
I boiled a pot of hot water and gave them a bath.
……
The setting sun sank below the horizon, casting a shadow over the evening glow and the sounds of children playing in the yard.
Xu Yiyi took out the scissors from the wooden basin.
The conchs and clams that have spit out all the sand look thinner and not as plump as when they were picked up.
"Would you like to have porridge tonight?"
Er'er poked his head out from the kitchen.
"Didn't you bring back a can of chicken soup from the restaurant? I'll use it to make a pot of thick porridge, and then steam the fish that Ah Yin and Ah Nai sent..."
Before they had dinner, Sihai and A Yue carried their bows and arrows and ran out.
"Sister, I'm going out with Master for a while and will be back later."
Sihai said this, walked over, pinched Wuyuan's little face and kissed her.
He smiled and ran out pulling A Yue.
Even Lin Ke praised A Yue's archery skills as amazing.
The two of them started out practicing during the day and now go out to practice at night.
Sihai has achieved some success following her.
"Master, why do we have to go out at night?"
Sihai carried a bow and arrow and held A Yue's hand.
In the distance, a few fishing lights flickered in the sea of ink, swaying unsteadily, like a lingering dream that was about to go out.
That is the hope of fishermen returning home at night and finding their way among the vast waves.
When A Yue heard Sihai's words, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't say why.
"Just have to come out!"
A Yue's tone was a little anxious, and she exerted a little force on the hand holding Sihai's little hand.
"Alright, alright, get out! It's useful after all."
Sihai hurriedly coaxed him, but the master couldn't explain it clearly.
So does he.
But since he went out to shoot arrows at night, he was not so afraid of the night anymore.
In the past, I didn’t dare to run around after dark because I couldn’t see anything without a lantern.
It’s different now. I don’t make any noise when I go out at night.
Without the lantern, the hit rate of archery is getting higher and higher.
The child just thought about it for a moment, then pulled his master to stand on a hillside far away from home.
Stand high and look down.
The sea breeze whimpered and passed through the crevices of the rugged rocks along the coast.
The beach stretched out in the darkness, and the sand had a cold, hard gleam, like fine silver frost.
The wind at night is a little stronger than during the day.
Sihai held the arrow without a tip and placed it on the bowstring.
A Yue's eyes were like a falcon, but at this moment she had lost her childish nature and was staring closely at Sihai's every move.
From time to time, he uttered steady and forceful instructions: "Keep your lower body steady, don't let the wind throw you off!"
Sihai took a deep breath and used his tender arms to gather strength to pull the bowstring.
The bow was pulled into a full crescent shape, and the child's body leaned back slightly due to the force, struggling with the wind.
"Swoosh!" The arrow flew away, carried by the strong wind.
It spun in the air and landed squarely on Sihai's predetermined target.
The two stopped what they were doing and looked over from a distance.
"what--"
A suppressed cry of pain was heard.
When Sihai heard the voice, he felt it was familiar. He looked up at A Yue with some surprise in his eyes.
"Master, did I hit someone?"
Sihai was a little flustered. Although there was no arrowhead on the arrow, it would still hurt if it hit someone.
"Go and see..."
A Yue grabbed Sihai's little hand and ran down, thinking that she was in trouble.
If Yi Yi knew about this, she would be scolded when she got home at night.
In the dark night, Xu Guining was sitting outside observing the movements in the yard. Suddenly, an arrow flew from the sky and hit him on the head.
The dull sound was like knocking over a ripe melon. Xu Guining saw stars and his head buzzed.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, shook his body twice, tasted a hint of sweetness on the tip of his tongue, and then realized that he had bitten his lips subconsciously.
Pain exploded from his forehead, and he was angry and annoyed.
But he saw Sihai running towards him with his master A Yue, his face full of panic, and he could only hold back his anger.
He staggered down the slope, looking miserable.
Xu Guining was so angry that his teeth were itching, thinking that he was really getting into trouble with those little devils.
