Chapter 3 Archery
The next morning.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Bai Yuan curiously.

Bai Yuan slightly bent the index and middle fingers of his right hand and slowly pulled the arrow string made of hemp rope. With a little force, the bow made of bamboo strips emitted bursts of mournful cries.

Light, really too light.

Hemp rope is too brittle and bamboo is not tough enough.

He was now an entry-level archer and could pull a bow of one stone, so the homemade bamboo bow could not support his strength.

It is a pipe dream to shoot jackals, tigers and leopards, but it is more than enough to deal with small prey.

Bai Yuan weighed the bamboo bow in his hand with satisfaction.

"How about my bow?"

Xiao Qiaoniang hesitated for a long time: "Uncle, you are very good, this bow is great."

The peasant woman really couldn't learn to talk nonsense, so she could only use the word "not bad" to get by.

She had lived at the foot of the mountain since she was a child. She had seen a lot of hunters and had seen a lot of bows and arrows. The bamboo bow that Bai Yuan made was rough and barely formed, and was really not that good. But she couldn't bear to embarrass her uncle.

Bai Yuan knew his bow-making skills very well. The skill he chose was archery, not bow-making. He was able to make the bamboo bow in his hand thanks to his childhood experience in his previous life.

With a bow and arrow, his archery skills finally came in handy and he finally had a way to save his life.

He was traveling through time seriously, not playing a game, so there would not be a screen asking "Young man, please start over again" and he had to complete the level with one life.

Xiao Qiaoniang saw Bai Yuan get up and was about to go out again.

"Uncle, are we going up the mountain again?"

Bai Yuan lifted the door curtain and turned around: "I'll be back soon."

Baisha Town is not big, with only about 200 households.

My predecessor grew up in Baisha Town, so he was familiar with most of the people in the town. However, his idle nature made him unpopular.

"Brother Yuan, Er Gouzi's wife's butt is big now, shall I take you to see it?"

A round-faced, slightly plump boy walked towards Bai Yuan with a smile on his face.

Zhuang Zhao, the best friend of the predecessor, is one of the bad boys in Baisha Town.

Anyone who can still be so plump and white in this era must be from a wealthy family.

When the Bai family's parents were still alive, the relationship between the two families was pretty good. After the Bai family fell into decline, the contact between the two families became much less frequent.

Zhuang Zhao and his predecessor were childhood friends and had similar interests, so they often hung out together.

Zhuang Zhao looked puzzled when he saw the bamboo bow in Bai Yuan's hand.

"Brother Yuan, what are you going to do?"

"hunt."

Zhuang Zhao was even more surprised. Although he and Bai Yuan often went to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits, that was only done in the summer. Only hunters went up the mountains to hunt on snowy days.

He knew Bai Yuan's abilities better than anyone else. Apart from some talent in fighting crickets and robbing bird nests, he was useless.

"Brother Yuan, please don't joke around."

He was shocked.

Hunting in the snow forest is no joke. Every year, hunters in Baisha Town go missing in the snow forest. When they are found in the following spring, their bodies have been eaten by wolves to such a horrible degree that they are no longer in human form.

When Zhuang Zhao thought of Bai Yuan's family background, he felt a little sad again.

Even a wealthy family like his was afraid of getting sick, let alone the Bai family. In order to save Bai Yuan, Xiao Qiaoniang sold almost all of her valuables. He knew about this and helped a lot during that time.

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Zhuang Zhao hesitated to speak. His family was well off, but not to the extent that he could support a person for free. Stealing some corn flour on a daily basis was already the limit, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the two people from the Bai family.

The white snow in early winter bends the branches, and snowflakes fall from time to time.

Bai Yuan lay quietly in the snow pile, motionless, his hair and body were dyed white by the falling snowflakes, blending in with the surrounding environment.

The bamboo arrow is already on the bowstring, ready to be fired.

A wild rabbit was jumping around in the snow, unaware of the danger.

Bai Yuan was not in a hurry to attack. Although his archery skills could hit prey within ten feet, his homemade bamboo bow could not withstand such a huge force. He needed to wait until the hare came within three feet before he could kill it with one strike. Eight feet.

Five feet.

Three feet.

Whoosh!
With a slight sound, the wild rabbit that was jumping in the snow was pierced by the bamboo arrow.

Enhancement points +1.

[You continue to choose to learn archery. You practice drawing the bow 300 times every day, and finally you can hit the target within 15 meters.]

As a speed runner, Bai Yuan doesn't have the bad habit of saving points and adding them in times of crisis.

He decisively used the newly acquired enhancement points to improve his archery skills.

Strange memories flooded into his mind again, and his understanding of archery became more thorough. The calluses on his knuckles slowly became transparent, but became more resilient.

Now his shooting power has increased by another 30%, and the range has increased to 15 meters.

This level is not impressive in the military, but it is quite good among the hunters in Baisha Town.

Bai Yuan tied the hare around his waist with a hemp rope. He did not go deeper but continued searching for the target at the foot of the mountain.

There are wolves in the mountains, and it takes at least three hunters to work as a team to deal with large beasts.

He was alone, so he had better be careful.

Most wild animals hibernate on snowy days, and Bai Yuan searched for a long time but found nothing else.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain——

A sturdy man with a hardwood bow on his back walked towards me.

The hardwood bow was a powerful weapon in ancient times, and there were only a handful of hunters in Baisha Town who could own a hardwood bow.

Bai Yuan recognized the identity of the burly man in front of him, Zhao Sihu.

Hunters fight with wild beasts in the mountains all year round. They are very ferocious and ordinary people dare not provoke them, and Zhao Sihu is even worse.

It is said that he worked as an apprentice in a martial arts school in the city for two years. Although he was expelled from the school later, his skills remained. Relying on the horizontal training kung fu he learned from the martial arts school, he dared to go into the mountains alone to fight tigers and leopards, but his character was not good.
"It's A Yuan."

When Zhao Sihu saw Bai Yuan, he opened his mouth wide and revealed his sharp white teeth.

It was too late for Bai Yuan to avoid it.

"Brother Tiger, you want to go up the mountain?"

Zhao Sihu did not answer, but glanced at the bamboo bow behind Bai Yuan and the hare around his waist.

"You can hunt, too?"

In his opinion, Bai Yuan was just an unlearned waste. He didn't expect that he could hunt wild animals in winter. He was lucky.

"A Yuan, why don't we go to the mountains together? I'll take the loss, and we can split it in half, how about that?"

Bai Yuan shook his head: "Brother Hu, it's getting late, I'll go down the mountain first."

Zhao Sihu's smile faded, and he said in a threatening tone, "Are you really not going?"

"Don't go."

Bai Yuan decisively refused.

Zhao Sihu snorted coldly and walked straight across Bai Yuan towards the depths of the forest.

Looking at Zhao Sihu's departing back, Bai Yuan's eyes were cold.

Go together?

Zhao Sihu is not so kind. Once you go into the mountains, there is no difference between killing people and killing chickens. At least half of the hunters who disappear in the mountains every year die at the hands of their teammates.

Zhao Sihu wanted to take advantage of Bai Yuan because he was new to the business and take him to the mountains to harm him, so that there would be an unclaimed corpse in the spring of next year.

Robbery can make much more money than hunting. The jacket on Bai Yuan alone is worth a lot of copper coins.

The reason why he didn't take action here was because he was worried about being seen by other hunters.

A cold light flashed in Bai Yuan's eyes.

This man has a way to die.

 A new book is about to start. It is really important to read the book in the early stage. I hope you can move your fingers and click to the end. Thank you very much~
