The old almanac has indeed turned the page!
Although the word "yi" became much longer, Fan Ming could see the word "hunting" at a glance.
Fan Ming clicked on "Hunting".
[Hunting (appropriate): Hunting went smoothly today, accuracy increased by 36%]
Seeing this, Fan Ming was a little surprised. He thought the second half of the sentence meant "the risk index has decreased" which was the opposite of yesterday. Now it seems that the function of the old almanac is more powerful than he imagined.
Unsurprisingly, the accuracy here should refer to archery, since it is related to hunting after all.
Fan Ming decided to try this "accuracy improvement" in the village before going up the mountain.
There is a straw target in the northeast corner of the yard, which Fan Ming often used to practice archery.
Because it is made of straw, it is not easy to damage the arrow, so you can practice with confidence.
It's just that Fan Ming's archery level has improved a lot now compared to when he was a child, and the yard at home is too small. Even if he stands at the opposite corner, he is only five meters away. It is difficult to miss at this distance.
Fan Ming could only move it to an open space in the village outside the yard.
Just as Fan Ming was moving with the target on his shoulders, he met a tall, dark-skinned man on the road with a poor appearance.
"Hey, why don't you get up early this morning to practice archery?"
Fan Ming ignored the man's greeting and walked straight past him.
The man's expression suddenly became a little unhappy. He grabbed Fan Ming's shoulder with his backhand and said, "Brother Ming, I'm greeting you, don't you hear me?"
Fan Ming stopped and sighed slightly.
This man is also a hunter in the village, named Sun Sanlang.
Unlike Fan Ming, who is single and weak, Sun Sanlang's family has three brothers. He and his two brothers are both good hunters, and they are one of the few families in the village not named Fan.
The reason why Fan Ming didn't want to pay attention to this man was because he gave him the nickname "Empty-Hand Hunter".
But when it comes to grievances, the two families don't have any big conflicts.
This guy is just unhappy with Fan Ming...
Seeing that Fan Ming didn't speak, Sun Dalang continued: "I heard that you came back empty-handed yesterday? Aren't you afraid that your sister will starve to death? You must have spent a lot of money on your recovery these days, right?"
Fan Ming gave him a cold look, "No need to worry about it."
Yes, this guy with this honor actually dares to miss Fan Li.
Sun Dalang didn't seem to hear the meaning of rejecting him thousands of miles away from Fan Ming's words, and patted Fan Ming on the shoulder and said: "Your father died early, and you only learned half of his skills, right? Do you want to follow our brothers?"
How many times have we gone back to the mountain and we can teach you what your father has not yet had time to teach you? We won’t charge you more, just the same money!”
In the Daqing Dynasty, a broom was worth three cents, while the usual money was roughly equivalent to 1,000 cents.
Don’t think that this money is expensive. In this era of self-preservation, hunting is a craft for making a living, and the tuition fees cannot be said to be expensive, or even a little cheap.
And according to Sun Dalang, they were three brothers teaching Fan Ming alone. Before time travel, it was three-on-one specialized teaching, which required extra payment.
It's just that this guy is so kind-hearted!
"No money." Fan Ming said concisely.
Sun Dalang seemed to have expected Fan Ming's answer, "Don't be afraid if you don't have money, you can owe it first."
After saying that, he even patted his chest, looking extremely generous.
However, Fan Ming has already seen this guy's conspiracy. He probably wants to make himself owe him money. When the money he owes becomes more and more and he can't pay it back, he can do whatever he wants with him.
This can be considered a conspiracy or a conspiracy. After all, Fan Ming urgently needs a higher level of hunting skills to ensure that he and his sister do not starve to death.
Sun Dalang knew this, so he showed a proud look on his face.
Based on his understanding of Fan Ming, this guy must be frustrated because he often fails to catch prey. He uses his own special skills to make bait. Isn't that a good catch?
When the time comes, as long as he threatens to pay back the money, the most beautiful flower in the village will belong to him, Sun Dalang!
But he didn't know that the Fan Ming in front of him was no longer the same Fan Ming as before...
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it!" After saying that, Fan Ming turned and left.
Sun Dalang was a little surprised, and his voice rose a few degrees, "A man can stretch and bend, so why are you trying to be strong now? Do you want to watch your sister starve to death!"
Fan Ming listened but didn't even turn his head.
Sun Dalang spit on the ground. When did this kid become so tough?
"No, I have to follow over and have a look!"
On the other side, Fan Ming has arrived at the open space in the village and set up a target.
Estimating the size of his steps, Fan Ming walked ten steps, which was a little more than ten meters, and then stopped.
Just start from this distance and find the feeling first.
Fan Ming ignored the "audience" following him, put the arrow on the string, recalled the essentials of archery, adjusted his body posture slightly, and then aimed at the eyes of the straw man target.
Hunting is not just about shooting the prey to death. You must also keep the prey's fur as intact as possible. After all, fur is the main source of income for hunters.
The price difference between a piece of leather with holes and a piece of intact leather is 30%.
Therefore, when hunting, try to aim at the eyes of the prey or the back yard where there are already holes.
While taking aim, Fan Ming felt inexplicably that he was in good condition today, and his hand holding the bow was as stable as if he had a chicken head stabilizer.
At this distance, there was no need to aim too much. Fan Ming let go of the bowstring decisively. Hearing a "whoosh" sound, the arrow he shot had already pierced the straw man's eye.
In modern times, it’s almost like a ten-ring ring.
However, ten meters and ten rings is just a piece of cake for hunters in this world.
Seeing this scene, Sun Dalang's expression did not change at all, but he felt that Fan Ming seemed to be more confident than before with his first arrow.
Fan Ming took back the arrow from the target, and then he was going to directly increase the difficulty by several levels.
Start from thirty meters!
Seeing Fan Ming walk to a position thirty meters away from the target, Sun Dalang's expression showed a hint of emotion.
Don't look at the distance, it's just that the distance has increased from ten meters to thirty meters, and the difficulty has increased at least five times!
Chapter completed!
