While eating porridge, everyone was talking about the soldier Liu Nanyue brought, a bow that looked like a work of art.
This bow is Liu Nanyue's guy in Liu Hai's mouth
Although Liu Hai had heard young children discussing Liu Nanyue's bow countless times in the village, he had not seen it with his own eyes many times. This was the first time for him to have such a close contact today.
"Uncle Nanyue, is this tendon a beef tendon?" The clear and sweet voice came from the liveliest Lin Yiya.
"Yes, it's beef tendon." Liu Nanyue answered with a smile while drinking porridge. He had just asked Liu Hai that the four girls here were not among the people entering the mountain today, so he felt relieved.
Liu Hai carefully looked at the one-and-a-half-meter-long bow on the table. The graceful lines and simple decorations made the bow look not murderous at all, but more like an antique and a work of art.
.
"Uncle, can you tell everyone about going into the mountains? Most of them go into the mountains for the first time." Liu Hai watched Liu Nanyue put down his bowls and chopsticks, then stopped admiring the perfect bow and turned to Liu Nanyue
said.
Watching Liu Nanyue speaking Mandarin with a heavy Máohe accent and introducing the conditions to pay attention to in the mountain to the other six people who were about to enter the mountain, Liu Hai pulled Guo Liang and told him the precautions for conducting research in Xialin Village.
"You can bring the cigarette later and smoke when you meet a man. Let Liu San handle the other matters."
When Liu San and Guo Liang were going to Xialin Village with their four daughters and children for investigation, they took the initiative and asked him to go too. This made Liu Hai feel relieved a lot.
After all, Guo Liang and several girls are from the city. Although they are very polite, they don't interact with people in the countryside very much.
The research team of the New Agricultural Society split up early the next morning.
The sky gradually became brighter, and Liu Hai and his party stepped across the Muhe River above Maohe Village and arrived at the foot of a mountain opposite Luffa Mountain.
The part of this mountain that borders Mao River Village is called Ao Ao Slope. It stretches for dozens of miles, straddling Ma He Village, Shanglin Village, and Xiaolin Village, and is adjacent to the territory of Taomu Township in Wucun Township.
Liu Hai and his party included a total of eight people, including Liu Nanyue. Except for Liu Nanyue, everyone carried a travel bag, but at this time, only four people had it in their backpacks, and the other three were empty.
The four empty backpacks contain dry food and water for everyone, and the three empty backpacks are used to collect materials first.
Liu Hai's backpack is the heaviest because it contains everyone's drinking water.
This is what he asked for. There is no other reason, because among these eight people, including Liu Nanyue, he has the best physical fitness, the greatest strength, and the strongest endurance.
Carrying ten or twenty kilograms on your back is like playing
In fact, everyone can relax because Liu Hai has the mysterious green apple yù, but this secret only belongs to Liu Hai and Ouyang Hui, and there will be no third person in the world.
Entering the concave slope, you can see tall trees and low weeds and shrubs all over the mountains and plains. Liu Nanyue walked at the front to lead the way. He carried a bow and arrow on his back, accompanied by his sallow and black skin, and his delicate appearance.
It looks like a hunter from ancient times.
"Uncle, we don't need to go too fast, just as fast as we can go to Shizhu'ao and back today."
Liu Nanyue was a bit fast at first, but Liu Hai hurriedly warned them. They were not going into the mountains for fun, hunting, and they were not on a journey. Liu Hai and others were very clear about the purpose of going into the mountains, which was to conduct a preliminary survey of Wucun Township.
In the mountainous and forested areas, we try to find something useful to the local economy in the mountains.
As early as when he was preparing for school, Liu Hai took members of the New Rural Cooperative to learn some information. Farmers in many places in China, because of their relatively low education level and limited knowledge, were holding on to some advantageous resources, but they were still living a miserable life.
day.
Liu Hai and others wanted to find some breakthroughs in this mountain excursion.
Liu Hai and others need to observe the surrounding situation along the way, and naturally they should not move too fast.
After hearing Liu Hai's instructions, Liu Nanyue slowed down.
"Xiao Hai, ask your classmates to each find a stick. Although it is winter now, there are not as many snakes, rats, insects and ants as there are in summer, but there are still many trees and grass in the mountains. Just in case, everyone will take them.
A stick to find the way."
Liu Qinglin said softly to Liu Hai.
While Liu Hai responded, he looked at the bow and arrow carried on Liu Nanyue's back. Suddenly, the pattern on it was a dragon, and he asked Uncle, did you make this bow? "No jump."
"Really? You want to do it too?" Liu Nanyue said with a smile as he walked away.
"Did you also carve the dragon on the bow? The carving is beautiful." Liu Hai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Nanyue, who was so unattractive in appearance and thought he could only do rough work, could actually have such a fine skill in his hands.
It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and art is among the people. Liu Hai suddenly had some thoughts in his heart.
"I carved it. I was a carpenter's apprentice for a while when I was a kid. So, do you want to try it?"
Liu Nanyue took off the bow from his back and handed it to Liu Hai. At the same time, he also took out an arrow from the quiver.
Liu Hai took the bow from Liu Nanyue. The bow seemed very light, but it was not light enough when he got it, which was beyond Liu Hai's expectation.
“Wow, it’s very heavy.”
Liu Nanyue smiled and said, of course it is very heavy. This bow is made of the best materials and is extremely powerful. Xiao Hai, take a look and see if you can tell that this bow is made of wood."
Liu Nanyue took the opportunity to test the most promising young boy in the village.
At this time, everyone else is here. Everyone is a hot-blooded young man. Basically every man has an innate love for weapons. Besides, this group of people are all of a hot-blooded age. For Liu Nanyue, who looks extraordinary,
I have been curious about bows and arrows for a long time.
At this time, Liu Hai wanted to try his bow, and the others on the side were also eager to try.
Liu Hai carefully looked at the bow in his hand, and saw that the bow was grayish-yellow in color. Although the appearance was made very smooth by craftsmanship, you could still see the texture of trees on it with your naked eyes.
Pine tree? Not. Mulberry tree? Nor. Fir tree? Probably not either.
Liu Hai looked at Liu Nanyue and shook his head.
"Uncle, I can't tell. Is this made of wood? I seem to have never seen this kind of wood."
Liu Nanyue had a smile on his face, with an expression that you really didn't recognize, which made the younger students on the side look funny, but they held back their laughter out of respect for their elders.
"It's no wonder. This kind of wood is rarely available now. Your young children now only study and rarely go into the mountains. It's normal if they don't recognize it. This kind of wood has a majestic name."
Liu Nanyue said this and looked at the expectant eyes of everyone with satisfaction.
The bangs are very cooperative - "Uncle, what's your majestic name?"
