Chu Youwei said to Yu Ziang: "You don't have to fight for everything, and a protector doesn't protect you like this."
Yu Ziang suddenly blushed with embarrassment and retreated timidly behind Liao Minmin.
Such words made Liao Minmin feel ashamed.
Chu Youwei took out an arrow feather from the bag and gestured to Liao Minmin: "Since you said you know archery, shoot this arrow at the small black stone on the takraw ball."
Liao Minmin took the arrow feathers from Chu Youwei and saw that the standard was ordinary. It was just a little more tough than the ones she usually used, so it was not difficult to get started.
It's just that the material of the arrow is somewhat opaque, as if it is somewhat similar to the small black stone pieces tied to the takraw ball.
Fang Ya was listening, but she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Is that all?"
Chu Youwei nodded, "Just because of this, this counts as her assessment."
"This is not fair!" Fang Ya said angrily: "It is useless for me to say that you are kind in my heart. You don't have such partiality."
Fang Ya's aggrieved nose was sore.
Chu Youwei couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard this, and then said with a serious face: "What you said is unfair, because you think it is too easy to pass the test with just one arrow.
?Then you come?"
"I..." Fang Ya muttered aggrievedly, "I don't know how to bow and arrow."
"It's good to know!" Chu Youwei said with a cold face: "Does the archery skills and the hardships I have put in over the years become easy in your eyes?"
Fang Ya was stunned, and then she realized the difference between Liao Minmin and herself. Strictly speaking, the latter could be regarded as an artist. She had worked hard to learn archery for so many years, but she only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy herself these years.
Thinking about it this way, it seems fair again.
Chu Youwei added at this time: "The assessment I arranged will not only be based on your respective strengths and specialties, but also combined with your respective personalities. On the whole, there is no unfairness at all as you said."
"Do you know that the dust spent on you is much more valuable than this sepak takraw ball? On weekdays, we disciples of the villa are not willing to use such methods to pick Yujin dates. They are all used to save lives. If you can pass the archery skills
, why should I have to pay this extra expense?”
Fang Ya lowered her head angrily, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart when she heard that Chu Youwei paid for the dust herself.
Chu Youwei continued to say seriously: "Furthermore, don't think that Liao Minmin is not in danger just by shooting an arrow. If something goes wrong and the aim is off-target, not to mention her, even we will inevitably be attacked by the Jade Green Bee.
Persecution is no less dangerous than you!"
"Ah~ It's so serious," Fang Ya was shocked. She shrank back slightly and looked at Liao Minmin solemnly, "Are you sure?"
Liao Minmin had already adapted to the arrow feathers in her hand, and immediately responded: "After all, that small piece of iron stone is not much bigger than the Jade Green Bee. I can't guarantee that it will be able to hit it, but I will definitely try my best. I won't
It will hurt you."
As he spoke, he walked forward for a short distance.
Fang Ya immediately understood the meaning of Liao Minmin's words. The so-called "won't be a drag" seemed to mean that she wanted to bear the risk alone, and put the shooting location as far away from them as possible, so that there would be no trouble later.
If an accident occurs, the Jade Green Bee will rush to her side immediately.
Yu Ziang said nervously: "Senior Sister Chu, is there any excess of the dust just now?"
Chu Youwei shook his head, "She has no chance to make mistakes."
Yu Ziang said resolutely: "Sister, please stay away. I will accompany her. We came together and we must go back together."
Liao Minmin heard the words behind her, turned around and said: "Don't be stupid, you and the senior sisters should go further away together."
After finishing his words, he moved a little closer towards the Yujin jujube tree.
The closer you are, the more confident you can be.
But correspondingly, once a mistake is made, there is much less room left.
At this moment, the distance between Liao Minmin and the jujube tree meant that even if Chu Youwei still had the dust in her hands, she might not be able to rescue him in time.
Chu Youwei also understood this, and she never thought that Liao Minmin would take such a risk in order not to be a drag.
As he was moved, he couldn't help but send a stream of soul consciousness towards Lu Feng beside him.
"It doesn't matter, I'm here!"
Lu Feng smiled knowingly, and instead of following Chu Youwei's instructions and assuming the responsibility of protecting Fang Ya and others, he took a step forward and protected her.
He knew clearly that Chu Youwei's instructions seemed to mean that he wanted to face possible accidents alone.
If so, he couldn't let it go.
Although Lin Liyun's status is that it is not easy to deal with these swarms of Jade Green Bees, but if there is an emergency and irreparable situation, a mere swarm of Jade Green Bees can only be dealt with by one palm.
Chu Youwei listened to the words coming to her ears and felt the weak breath that passed into her cochlea. Her cheeks couldn't help but blush. When she came back to her senses, she looked at Lu Feng. After seeing his arrogant and arrogant look, she didn't know why.
, inexplicably felt a little more at ease.
Apart from the peace of mind, there was also a faint sense of a strange pounding heartbeat.
Liao Minmin had already moved seven or eight meters away from the Yujin jujube tree, and her bow and arrows were fully loaded and ready to go.
At such a distance, using a bow and arrow is actually a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, but if you don't know how to use concealed weapons, the bow and arrow is indeed the best choice.
Liao Minmin stabilized her breathing rhythm and kept enlarging the black stone on the sepak takraw ball in her eyes.
After three even breathing sounds.
The long string in his hand suddenly loosened.
The sharp arrow struck at the takraw ball at a very fast speed.
Lu Feng looked at this scene and quietly took back the jade bead hidden in his sleeves between his fingertips.
With his eyesight and understanding of the arrow path, he was sure of it the moment it left the string with just one glance.
This arrow is ready!
‘Ding~’
It was accompanied by a subtle but very crisp sound of rubbing stone flakes together.
A bright spark burst out.
It was erupted from the rapid friction between the arrowhead of the long arrow and the black stone fragments on the takraw ball.
Looking at this scene, Liao Minmin's tense heartstrings finally relaxed. Although she still didn't know what the black stone was, she vaguely understood that it should be something similar to flint.
The splashing fireworks accurately landed on the weeds filled inside the sepak takraw ball.
The raging fire burst into flames in an instant, and wisps of black smoke rose rapidly.
"How is that possible?" Liao Minmin was surprised, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
On weekdays, she burns not only a mountain of firewood, but also a pile of weeds. It is certain that these few sparks alone would not create such a violent fire in an instant.
While frowning and thinking, I suddenly thought of the faint smell of oil that I smelled from the sepak takraw ball before~
I couldn't help but realize that the weeds filling the takraw balls were probably specially treated and soaked in animal fat. Only in this way could a small spark be able to stir up such a terrifying fire.
‘Can we deal with the jade green bee just by lighting some weeds?’ Soon, the scene in front of him told Liao Minmin the answer.
The moment the fire exploded, the spherical rattan spread out and was attacked by the flames. It exploded and burned, emitting streams of black smoke.
Black smoke rose up like a curtain, instantly covering the space in front of the jade green bee swarm.
Isolated from the hostility and aura exuded by Liao Minmin under the disturbance of the long arrow.
'The rattan is also specially treated!'
Liao Minmin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Immediately afterwards, the chaotic buzzing sounds were heard in groups walking away along the mountain wall, as if they had seen something terrible, and they fled quickly.
Suddenly, Chu Youwei's voice came over.
"The black smoke is non-toxic and can only last for a moment, so the picking can be completed quickly."
It can be clearly heard that Chu Youwei's soft voice also contains the same sense of relief.
Liao Minmin immediately stepped forward and rushed into the black smoke.
Before they were picked, a pungent smell came over them.
In just a moment, her eyes were red and her nose was running.
This feeling is thousands of times scarier than cutting an onion or smearing chili pepper directly on your face.
"I came here like this back then."
Chu Youwei's somewhat naughty voice sounded into the black smoke, which was considered a comfort.
However, Liao Minmin knew clearly that this was telling her to understand that food resources are hard to come by and understand the hardships involved.
Without the interference of the Jade Green Bee, Liao Minmin quickly completed the picking. Following Chu Youwei's instructions, she took back eight Yujin dates.
It's not because I don't have enough time, it's because I was told that this is all I need.
Fang Ya didn't have any thoughts of comparison because of the large quantity picked by Liao Minmin. She knew that the methods used by each other were different, so there was a natural difference in quantity.
More importantly, in her spare time, she heard Chu Youwei threaten that she and Liao Minmin would help complete this snack later.
Based on this, she wished that Liao Minmin would collect more and bring them back.
‘Pfft~’
Fang Ya couldn't help laughing when she looked at Liao Minmin, who had returned with a gray face and Yujinzao in her arms.
"I thought I was already miserable enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more miserable than me."
Fang Yaxiao's stomach ached, but she still stepped forward, took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the black smoke from Liao Minmin's face.
"Thank you~Thank you," this sudden move made Liao Minmin feel flattered.
Originally, in her opinion, this 'eldest lady' was somewhat condescending, arrogant, and difficult to get along with.
But after getting along with him for a short time, I couldn't help but find that he didn't seem that annoying after all.
After all, they are only fifteen, sixteen or seven years old, and friendship at this stage is the easiest to develop.
Sometimes, once it is completed, it will last a lifetime.
Liao Minmin, who successfully completed the assessment, was not only happy but also a little worried.
Her experience with Fang Ya made her worried about Yu Zianglai.
But after thinking that Yu Ziang was better than herself in every aspect except for his slightly lacking temperament, Liao Minmin's worry could not help but ease a bit.
Unexpectedly, Chu Youwei's plain words almost made her heart burst out.
