Became a poor little boy abandoned by his educated youth mother?

Chapter 140: Hunting with Crossbows

An Xueyan and the others had just finished their classes and came over. Only then did An Xueyan know why the old man was in a bad mood in the afternoon.

It turned out that they saw old acquaintances, and the brother and sister introduced themselves to all the new elderly people.

Li Jingyi held An Xueyan's hand and was very fond of her, but she lamented that they met at the wrong time and she couldn't even afford any gifts for the two children.

When he came out and saw An Xueyan there, he waved and said, "Yan girl, why are you here too? This is my senior brother Feng Danggui. Come over and meet him."

"Brother, this is the child I told you about. Her name is An Xueyan. She just turned five this year, and her talent in this area is no worse than yours back then."

"Hello, Grandpa Feng, I'm An Xueyan." An Xueyan called out obediently. Looking at the thin old man in front of her, she wondered what kind of master he was from.

Looking at An Xueyan, Mr. Feng didn't say anything else. He just said, "Well, okay, it's getting late. You should go back first. We can talk again next time if there's a chance."

"Okay, we'll be leaving first. Take care of yourselves, brothers. If you need anything, just come to the health station to find me." It was normal for a doctor like him to be sought after, and generally no one would suspect anything.

Judging from his attitude, senior brother is not in the mood to talk about Yan Yatou right now. If we spend more time together, I won’t be afraid that he won’t be moved.

Dr. Huang was sent back to the health station first, and then An Xueyan and the others went home. They arrived home at around 10 o'clock.

She tidied herself up and went to bed and fell asleep immediately. She had no dreams all night. When she woke up in the morning, her father had already gone to work.

Lying in bed, she thought about what happened last night. The books Grandpa Huang gave her should have been passed down from Grandpa Feng's family. Was he trying to get her to become Grandpa Feng's disciple? Grandpa Feng's attitude clearly showed that he had been dealt a heavy blow, and he seemed to be avoiding Chinese medicine.

Finally, she decided to let nature take its course. After all, she had memorized the knowledge in her mind, and it was impossible for her to forget it. Besides, she still had the medical books in the space to study.

There is not much work to do in the brigade now, and the people in the cowshed only need to take care of the brigade's cows.

So during the day, the younger Yang Zhiqian would take Wei Lao and the others to the mountains to collect firewood. They didn't have to worry about food now, but the demand for firewood was very high in the next few months, so their main task was to collect more firewood, otherwise their lives would be difficult.

These days, An Xueyan and her friends go to the cowshed to study at night, and her father will bring some things to Grandpa Wei and others from time to time.

Doctor Huang didn't come over that night, and he gave all the things to An Xueyan to bring over in the evening.

The crossbow her grandfather made for her brother was finally ready, so the brother and sister went up the mountain with their cousin An Jinbao, cousin An Qiuxiang, Zhou Wangjia and Ermao.

"Your crossbow is so majestic and powerful. I want to make one too." An Jinbao couldn't let go of An Xueyan's crossbow.

An Xueyan smiled and said, "Brother Jinbao, go tell grandpa, he will definitely make it for you when he has time."

"I want to try to do it myself. I'll go find my grandfather to give me some guidance."

"Brother, now that you know how to do it, can you make one for me?" An Qiuxiang asked her brother.

An Jinbao asked curiously, "Why don't you go find me? I haven't even found my own."

"That's what I want you to do." An Qiuxiang said loudly, a little angrily. She just wanted a gift from her brother, but she also wanted to show off to others that she had a capable and loving brother. She felt awkward and embarrassed to express her thoughts, so she could only say this.

An Jinbao was not angry when his sister yelled at him. He said in a good-tempered manner: "Okay, okay, I'll do it for you. Why are you doing it so loudly? It makes you look loud, right?"

Seeing that her brother agreed, An Qiuxiang happily refuted him and jumped around happily humming the songs taught in school.

Ermao and his friends also wanted a crossbow like this, but no one in their family knew how to make one. It had to be made of wood, and they were too embarrassed to ask Grandpa An to make it, so they could only look at An Xueyan and her brother with envy.

"Boss, Sister Yan, can you lend it to me when we catch some prey?" Zhou Wangjia asked. If he couldn't own one, it would always be okay to borrow one to play with.

"Sure, I'll let you all try it later." An Xueyan agreed immediately. An Honglei would definitely not disagree with his sister's decision.

They didn't go too far, just wandering around two nearby hills.

Before anyone else could react, An Honglei shot out the arrow in his hand and hit a pheasant in the distance, making a good start.

After that, their luck seemed to be on the rise, and several people took turns using crossbows to catch prey.

The few people who rarely caught prey were very happy. An Jinbao made up his mind to make a crossbow for himself. He had not been able to catch prey before, which must be because the wrong tools affected his performance.

An Xueyan climbed up a big tree and saw a deer a distance away. She shouted to her brother, "Brother, there's a deer over there. Deer blood is a good thing, and the whole body is full of treasures."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go there quickly." An Jinbao went straight in the direction she pointed.

They were still a little far from the deer and it took them 20 minutes to reach the area where An Xueyan saw it.

When they arrived, the deer had disappeared. An Honglei said, "It's not here anymore. Let's look everywhere. It must be nearby."

"Going over there." He walked in one direction following the footprints.

They walked into a forest and found two sika deer inside. The group did not dare to make any noise and approached carefully.

The brother and sister were responsible for taking care of one deer each. They aimed and shot in one go, and both deer were hit on the head with wooden arrows.

"Hurry, let the blood first." An Xueyan urged.

Several people ran over and collected the deer blood using prepared containers.

"How do we take this back?" An Qiuxiang asked.

An Xueyan looked at the two dead deer and said, "We can dissect them, divide them up and take them back. Is that okay with you?"

Everyone else agreed that although the six of them were still children, they had no problem doing the work.

Moreover, An Honglei and his team had prepared machetes and other things before going up the mountain, which made it easier to perform the dissection.

Deer antlers, deer horns, deer penis, deer tail, deer tendons, deer bones, deer liver and other things that can be used as medicine are collected, packed separately and put aside.

The others had no objection to these things. The two younger brothers just wanted to have meat to eat, as they didn't know how to use the other things. Besides, if the eldest brother hadn't taken them up the mountain, they wouldn't have dared to go up the mountain in this cold winter.

My cousins ​​wouldn't say anything, and they would satisfy their cousin's request for some medicinal herbs.

So the remaining meat was divided equally among the people. The meat from the two deer only weighed about 200 kilograms, so each person got about 30 kilograms of meat, which was enough for several people to take back.
