Chapter 321 Are We Partners?

Among the skills that Yu Hongdou learned from her two real-life teachers, Mo Shougui and Wen Daozhi, her favorite is archery.

Just as she likes mages and ranged characters when playing games, Yu Hongdou likes to stay far away from the enemies. Relatively speaking, this distance makes her feel safer.

In fact, after she learned archery to level 3 from Master Wu Chenggong, Master Wu had already started teaching her archery. However, Yu Hongdou was more familiar with slingshots and crossbows, and found the bow and arrow inconvenient to carry.

In real life, if she wanted a bow and arrow that suited her body shape and strength, she had to find a professional to customize it. There had never been a suitable master in Wu'an County, so she had basically never touched a bow and arrow outside of the teaching mode.

Cigou Village is located deep in the mountains, and both men and women are quite tough in order to obtain resources and survive.

As soon as the word of competition came out, all the young girls, wives, aunts and grandmothers present clapped and cheered.

Yu Hongdou was not restrained and extended an invitation to her second cousin's wife.

"Okay, wait for me to get the bow and arrow." My second cousin's wife was originally wearing clothes suitable for activities, but she definitely didn't bring a bow and arrow, so she turned around and went home to get it.

"Don't run away. I'll ask someone to call Cao Mai." As soon as Yu Yu finished speaking, a girl standing at the door went out to call Cao Mai.

The other people near the door looked at the girl who was running fast with a teasing look, then turned back and winked at Yu Yu.

The smile on Yu Yu's face remained unchanged, but his eyes swept across his niece's face. Seeing that she was also laughing teasingly, he felt a little regretful.

Cao Mai was running very fast. The girl probably ran with Cao Mai for a while and was still out of breath when she came back. She stood beside Cao Mai without saying a word, just staring at him.

"I heard that my second sister-in-law is going to compete with my cousin, and everyone outside wants to join in the fun. Master Shang Sanye said that we should go to the grain field to have the competition, and he even asked people to bring straw man targets." Cao Mai, who was eager to watch the fun, said this on the spot.

"Let's go, cousin. The threshing ground over there is spacious and bright, which will be convenient for us to play." The second sister-in-law was heroic and took Hongdou to the front.

Yu Hongdou giggled like a little hen and walked out with her second cousin's wife.

The threshing ground is the place where the harvested grains are dried and threshed in the village.

It is square like a football field, the road surface is flat and tight, and there are tall lamp poles nailed on all four sides.

There were two wind-killing lanterns hung on a pole, which made the room bright at night.

"Cousin, how do we compete?" The second cousin's wife took out her bow and arrow, checked them, pulled the string to try, and looked at the little cousin who had heard of your name for a long time with a face full of fighting spirit.

"My cousin's wife has the final say, but I didn't bring a good bow and arrow, only a slingshot." Yu Hongdou did bring a crossbow, but using a crossbow would be a bit bullying.

"Well, let's put some fruits on the straw target, and then use the fruits as targets. If we hit them all, we can change to smaller fruits. How about that?" The second cousin's wife hesitated for a moment, and quickly came up with a plan.

The reason for changing to small fruits is mainly due to the limited range of the slingshot.

Yu Hongdou nodded happily.

Those who listened to their conversation went to prepare straw targets and various fruits.

More and more people gathered around the grain field. Although it was only evening, some kind-hearted people had already started lighting up the surrounding wind-killing lanterns.

Some people even built a bonfire right next to the field, moved a barbecue grill over, and grilled game on the spot.

Soon, five straw targets in the shape of scarecrows were placed at the other end of the threshing ground, farthest from Yu Hongdou and the others. Someone took some fruits as big as cantaloupe and stuck them into the scarecrows' heads and hands.

"Second sister-in-law, please go first." Yu Hongdou was like Kong Rong giving up his pear, wanting to admire the heroic figure of his second cousin's sister-in-law first.

The second cousin's wife didn't hesitate and smiled brightly at Yu Hongdou. She drew the bow, aimed, and fired three shots in succession. The three fruits on the first scarecrow fell to the ground.

"Good!" Cheers suddenly echoed throughout the field.

The second cousin's wife seemed to be encouraged. She shot all the fruits off the remaining four scarecrows in one go. She raised her chin, smiled at the crowd, turned around to look at Yu Hongdou provocatively, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Second sister-in-law is awesome!" Yu Hongdou clapped her hands, then took out a slingshot and iron marbles, aiming and following second cousin's sister-in-law's results without missing a single one.

"Good!" The same cheers rang out again, accompanied by applause.

Yu Hongdou smiled and bared her teeth proudly at the children who were looking at her with admiration.

The fruits on the scarecrow became the size of a fist. The aunt and sister-in-law filled the ring again, and soon the fruits on the scarecrow turned into grapes.

"Ouch!" My second cousin's wife made a mistake and the arrow went straight into the scarecrow's arm. The grapes in her hand vibrated and fell off, and she sighed with regret.

Yu Hongdou felt that her chance had come. She suppressed her excitement, held the ball steadily, and shot several times in a row, knocking the grapes away perfectly.

"Great!" The applause rang out again, even louder than before. This was an affirmation of the winner.

"My skills are not as good as others, my cousin won, but I can't accept it. Next time, my cousin will also bring a bow and arrow, and we will try again." The second cousin's wife admitted defeat, but did not admit defeat.

Yu Hongdou smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll compete with my second sister-in-law next time."

It seems that I really need to find someone to make a suitable bow and arrow when I go back. No matter whether it is convenient to use or carry, the bow and arrow is the mainstream tool for archery after all.

Their competition opened the door to the carnival. The men in Cigou Village had long been envious of the guards brought by Tan Yanlin. Taking advantage of the excitement, someone invited them to "compete with each other" together.

With Tan Yanlin's tacit consent, the big guard readily accepted it, and the scene became extremely lively.

Yu Hongdou returned to her brother and Tan Yanlin with the joy of victory, and whispered a few words to them.

The two pairs of eyes that were originally drunken instantly cleared the haze after hearing Yu Hongdou's words.

One of them looked serious, and the other also looked serious. They both said in unison: "You're just going there by yourself?!"

Yu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, looked at her brother, then at Tan Yanlin, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"I was wrong!" Yu Hongdou immediately pinched her ears and admitted her mistake.

"What did you do wrong?" Yu Songhuan crossed his arms over his chest, glaring at his sister who quickly admitted her mistake.

"I shouldn't have acted rashly, I shouldn't have..." I'm telling you! Yu Hongdou swallowed the words silently.

"Brother Yu, she doesn't seem to be convinced." Tan Yanlin watched coldly, adding fuel to the fire in a sarcastic tone.

"You!" Yu Hongdou glared. Why was this guy like this? Are they still partners?

"Partner?" Yu Song originally wanted Tan Yan to add fuel to the fire before leaving, but after hearing his sister's unconvinced muttering, he immediately exploded.

Tan Yanlin covered her face and walked obediently to Yu Hongdou, pinching her ears with both hands like her, letting her brother, who was a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus and had a sister-control, scold her.

"What partnership? When did it happen? What was the collaboration about?"
