Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"How does that compare?"

The middle-aged man with a sinister face looked at Lin Heng and asked.

Lin Heng glanced at the man, thought for a while and said, "It's just like the simplest shooting target. Who can shoot more accurately at a distance of fifty meters?"

The middle-aged man with a sinister face in the distance immediately shook his head when he heard this: "I don't agree. Target shooting is allowed but it must be seventy meters away. Fifty meters is only for children wearing ripped crotch pants. In addition, I suggest adding more A moving target, so it looks level.”

He felt that Lin Heng's limit must be fifty meters, so he asked for target practice at fifty meters. Since he could shoot a rabbit at seventy meters, it would naturally not be what Lin Heng wanted.

"Let's do this, seventy meters, one hundred meters, plus a 70-meter moving target, how about two wins out of three?"

Lin Heng originally wanted to end it quickly and get his horse back, but if the other party wanted to play, then he could just play for fun.

"you sure?"

Upon hearing Lin Heng's words, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the other party would disagree with the seventy meters, but he didn't expect that he directly mentioned the distance of one hundred meters and the moving target of seventy meters.

"What's wrong? You don't dare to come?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"I don't dare? I haven't been afraid of your Mr. Liu since I was born!"

Liu Laoer, who had a sinister face, slapped his chest and laughed angrily.

"Then come." Lin Heng said nothing nonsense, motioning for them to come back and find a venue, and at the same time asked his elder brother to pay attention to the old man's actions.

Liu Laoer and his father led the horse to the river, and the three of them quickly set up targets. The fixed targets of 70 meters and 100 meters are drawn directly on the beach by the river. One ring is one meter in diameter, and the size of the ten rings is set to a circle with a diameter of ten centimeters.

The moving target has not been set up for the time being. If the two players are tied, the moving target will be set up.

This kind of target lying flat on the ground is much more difficult than an upright target, and the inclination must be considered when shooting.

"I'll go first."

As soon as he finished, Liu Laoer rushed to say.

"To be fair, let's do it once per person." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Because the competition here only has one chance, and it is not the kind of competition where the total number of rings is calculated. Just one arrow, whoever shoots more accurately wins.

Therefore, the first mover has less psychological pressure.

"Okay, I'll come first at 70 meters, how about you come first at 100 meters?" Liu Laoer looked at Lin Heng and said.

Lin Heng nodded and agreed: "Then I'll go 100 meters first."

Liu Laoer was stunned and sneered: "Are you giving up on yourself?"

He wasn't even sure of the 100-meter target, and he felt that Lin Heng definitely couldn't do it either. Going first would be the same as giving up.

"Have I started? Don't refuse to pay if you lose."

Lin Heng smiled gently and looked at Liu Laoer's father next to him.

"You go ahead, I, Liu Lao Er, am not a person without credibility." Liu Lao Er nodded.

Liu Laoer's father also glanced at Lin Heng, nodded and said, "Shoot you, we keep our word."

His ancestors were all hunters and played with bows and arrows. The reason why he let his second son take a bow and arrows was partly because he was old and unable to do what he wanted, and more importantly, because his skills were stronger than his own.

Therefore, he was full of confidence in his second son. In his opinion, Lin Heng was just a dabbler. How could he compare with the second brother who had been learning archery since he was a child?

Lin Heng nodded, picked up the compound bow and aimed at the 100-meter target for about three seconds, and then shot out instantly as soon as the release device was released.

The black carbon arrow flew out with a whoosh, almost shooting in a straight line on the beach a hundred meters away.

"bingo?"

Both Liu Lao Er and Liu Lao were startled, and their eyes widened at the same time.

In their opinion, Lin Heng couldn't even hit the target at 100 meters, but the result was far beyond their expectations.

The two people quickly ran closer and took a closer look. After seeing clearly, they froze in place because Lin Heng's arrow was stuck in the second ring.

This result is too unbelievable.

"Don't look, it's your turn, Liu Laoer." Lin Heng said with a slight smile. This was why he had to come a hundred meters first. He saw these two thieves were sweating profusely and had bad breaths on their backs.

"It's just luck, second brother, don't let him influence you."

Old man Liu came back to his senses and snorted coldly. If it's the fifth ring, he still believes it's due to skill, but the second ring is definitely luck. A young guy can't be so accurate.

"Yes, it must be luck." Liu Laoer was awakened and quickly regained his confidence. Even if he lost the 100 meters due to bad luck, he was confident of winning back at the 50 meters and the moving target.

The two of them walked back. Liu Laoer picked up the Mongolian bow and shot at the 100-meter target. The arrow drew an arc in the air and landed at the tenth ring, and unexpectedly hit the target.

"This is real technology, not luck." Liu Laoer laughed disdainfully.

Lin Yue wanted to retaliate but Lin Heng stopped him. He spread his hands. Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

After Liu Laoer finished speaking, he walked a little further to the side and began to aim at the seventy-meter target. He aimed for about ten seconds before shooting an arrow, which hit the second ring.

Seeing this result, Liu Laoer smiled. He was sure to win the 70-meter target, and then he would win again on the moving target. Then he would get a good horse for free, and he could openly claim to the village that he had won it. This is simply not cool.

"Young people see, this is strength, not luck."

Liu Laoer looked at Lin Heng and laughed.

"You see, right? Bows and arrows don't depend on luck." Old Man Liu smiled in a godly manner.

The two fathers and sons thought that Lin Heng was lucky from the beginning to the end, because people like them who have practiced archery since childhood could not do the second ring of 100 meters. They did not believe that Lin Heng, a young boy, could do it. They thought it must be luck.

Lin Heng glanced at the two of them, smiled slightly, picked up the bow and arrow, looked at the target, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, accurately piercing the ten rings, the circle with a diameter of only ten centimeters fifty meters away.

As Lin Heng's bow and arrow fell, the expressions of the two fathers and sons froze instantly, and they could no longer laugh, staring blankly at the target in the distance.

Liu Laoer's arrow was still stuck in the ground, and the difference was clear after comparing the two.

"Impossible!!"

Liu Laoer shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe that this would be the result. He was unwilling to believe that he was defeated by a young boy, and lost so thoroughly.

But he already knew that this was the truth, because Lin Heng only took one or two seconds to aim, it was impossible to be lucky.

Liu Laohan's arrogance was also completely shattered, and he could no longer remain calm. He carefully recalled Lin Heng's two shootings, and finally remembered an abnormality.

The arrows shot out of Lin Heng's strange iron bow were almost straight, and they penetrated deeper into the ground. The naked eye could hardly see the curve, while his son's arrows were very obvious arcs, and penetrated the ground shallower.

This shows that Lin Heng's arrows had an absurdly high initial velocity, which led to such a result. His iron bow and arrows were even more powerful than the Mongolian composite bows inherited from their ancestors.

Without arrogance, Old Man Liu showed a normal level of quality.

"What kind of bow and arrow is that?" Old Man Liu asked, staring at Lin Heng's modern composite bow.

Lin Heng looked at the compound bow in his hand and said expressionlessly: "What, are you going to default? We agreed at the beginning that each of us would use our own bows and arrows."

The next moment, Old Man Liu threw the porcupine over and said, "Where did you buy this bow? Can you tell me?"

Lin Heng looked at the porcupine and didn't pick it up, shaking his head and saying, "No."

Old Man Liu finally realized that Lin Heng's bow was better than his, and said unconvincedly, "I was wondering why you were so confident, it turns out that your bow is better than mine."

Lin Heng said disdainfully: "Don't you think that a good bow can only be good at skills?"

Lin Yue also felt refreshed and said loudly: "You laugh at others for being a young boy with your bow and arrow skills. Go home and herd cattle as soon as possible, and don't play with bows and arrows."

"You!!"

Old Man Liu was speechless and sweating.

"Old Man, let's go."

Old Man Liu looked at Lin Heng, said something and turned back. He knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only go back to inquire.

They don't know that modern compound bows were invented by foreigners, and they are not made in China at all.

Liu Laoer glanced at Lin Heng, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "I may not lose to you with the same bow and arrow."

Lin Heng shrugged and didn't care. This is also part of strength. Who told you not to have it?

Liu Laoer was so angry that he snorted and left. Lin Heng kept watching them. He didn't relax until the two walked away.

"It's really scary. The red dates were almost stolen." Lin Yue took a deep breath, and then patted Lin Heng on the shoulder: "Brother, you are awesome. Now you have brought back an extra porcupine."

Lin Heng shook his head: "These two people should be from that village. We have to change places. This place is not safe."

He estimated that these two people also wanted to hunt bears, otherwise it would be difficult to meet them in such a big mountain. As for the porcupine he won, he didn't care much. This thing is very rare in Qinling Mountains, but the meat quality is just average.

Lin Yue looked at the sky and said helplessly: "I'm afraid there is no time today, and we haven't found a good location."

Lin Heng nodded: "Go cook, and skin this porcupine by the way."

Rubbing Xiongba's head, he carried the porcupine and led Hongzao back to the shelter. I was in a bad mood today. I was wasted a lot of time because of these two thieves.

Tie Hongzao up, feed it with cut grass, and then the two began to kill pheasants and porcupines. The cat of this male pheasant is very beautiful. Lin Heng just pulled it out and stuffed it into a plastic bag and took it back.

It can be used to make a feather duster or some decorations. Generally, the feathers of male pheasants and golden chickens will not be thrown away directly.

Porcupines are also troublesome to handle. Without a big pot to boil water to scald the fur, Lin Heng can only peel the skin. The skin is not very easy to peel. Lin Heng gave up after a while and decided to eat first and then slowly do it.

The dough kneaded in the morning was still there. Lin Heng fried the plum fish with oil, then added water to boil it into fish soup, and then pulled the noodles into small balls and stretched them into strips and threw them into the water. After a while, a simple pot of fish soup and pickled cabbage noodles was ready.

The freshness of the plum fish and the sourness of the pickled cabbage were so appetizing that the two of them didn't leave any soup.

It was already eight o'clock after the meal, when the porcupine was skinned and the internal organs were processed. Originally, Lin Heng planned to explore the river today to see if there were any good things. He also wanted to fish.

But now he was completely out of mood, and the two retreated to the simple shelter before to continue resting. This kind of shelter was a bit depressing, and it was very uncomfortable not to be able to turn over freely. Both of them decided in their hearts that they must build a better tall shelter tomorrow.

There was no conversation all night, and there was only the whistling of the wind in the silent forest.

The next morning, the two got up before dawn at 5:30, and made a fire to roast some porcupine meat.

"It tastes pretty good." Lin Yue said in surprise.

Lin Heng nodded: "Indeed, leave some back for the family to taste."

They had never eaten porcupine before. They thought the meat was rough, but unexpectedly it was very delicate, with a special fragrance, tasted unique, and had less fat and was not greasy.

"Well, we really need to leave some, we can just eat the remaining internal organs." Lin Yue agreed.

After dinner, it was already six o'clock and dawn.

The two packed up everything and led Hongzao up, and finally stopped in the forest beside a pond one kilometer above. There was plenty of grass here, which was suitable for Hongzao to rest.

The main reason was that they couldn't go up any further. There was a slanted stone skin above the pond. They could walk, but Hongzao's hooves couldn't climb up.

So they could only temporarily settle it here. They went up to see the specific situation of the black bear's footprints, and then decided where to go next.

And this time they paid attention to erasing Hongzao's footprints, so ordinary people couldn't tell where they went.

"Let's go."

After taking a look, Lin Heng led Xiong Ba upstream.

The journey was the same as yesterday, with no new changes. After walking another two kilometers, the two came to the open valley where they had seen yesterday.

Lin Heng first looked at the woods on the other side where the civet appeared. There seemed to be no special traces. The civet should not have come last night.

After walking a little further up, Lin Yue said disappointedly: "We came early today, but the bear still hasn't appeared."

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "Let's continue to go up and see. We'll find out first."

On the way here, they ignored the traces of other animals and only looked at the bear.

With Xiong Ba exploring in front, the two followed behind. After about a kilometer, the river split into two. The two rivers were almost the same size, and the mainstream and tributaries could no longer be distinguished.

"Brother, look over there, there's movement!"

Lin Yue noticed that Xiong Ba stopped and found the movement in front.

There was a lot of movement in the bushes by the river in front, which was definitely caused by a large animal.

Lin Yue raised his gun, Lin Heng took out his bow and arrow, and the two were about to grope forward, but the large animal rushed out of the bushes and slapped into the water with a bang.

"Damn! Why is it this thing?" Lin Yue didn't know what to say.

Lin Heng also put down his bow and arrow helplessly: "Brother, why do you come here to eat fish? Isn't your bamboo delicious?"

He has encountered this kind of guy twice. Isn't it said that it is almost extinct? Why do I always encounter it?

The last time was above Sanchagou, and this time it was at the foot of Taibai Mountain. I really have a fate with this guy.
