Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Ma Zheng was so anxious that he whispered in Gu Chan's ear, "Boss, apologize quickly. Don't be so petty, or you will be beaten with a stick in the government office. Last year, Er Gouzi from our village boasted in front of a steamed bun stall in the market that he could eat thirty steamed buns in one meal. As a result, he was beaten with ten sticks in the government office and had to lie down for seven days before he could get out of bed!"

"So cruel?" Gu Chan widened her eyes.

Omg!

For bragging, you were beaten with ten boards and had to lie in bed for seven days before you could get out?

In comparison, what she just said wasn't that serious? This wasn't something that could be solved with ten strokes of the cane.

Prove it to herself, she must prove it to herself!

Shaking off Ma Zheng's hand that was pulling her, Gu Chan stared at everyone and said, "I'm not bragging, I can pull a bow of 60 dan. And I just said that I just wanted to try and see if I can pull a bow of 100 dan. I didn't say directly that I can pull a bow of 100 dan!"

"Boasting, definitely bragging."

"Yes, report to the police. Children need to be educated from a young age, otherwise they will grow up to be full of lies."

"Madam boss, report to the police!"

When everyone saw that Gu Chan not only refused to admit her mistake but also continued to shout like that, they became even angrier and shouted at the boss lady to report the incident to the police.

Qin Xiang also wanted to teach Gu Chan a lesson, so she said coldly, "It seems that you don't know your mistakes until you are punished."

"Then why don't you bring a 60-stone bow here so I can prove it to everyone!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

Qin Xiang immediately went into the inner room, took out a heavy bow of 60 stones, and handed it to Gu Chan, "Come, try it out."

"Go ahead and pull the bow. I'm not afraid of you." Gu Chan held the bow in his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand, without any fear at all.

But then something surprising happened to her.

Just as she exerted force, she suddenly found that the bow was very heavy. It was far from being as easy as the bow that Zhao Erniu pulled in the forest yesterday.

Gu Chan tilted her head and looked at Qin Xiang and asked, "Boss, are you sure this bow is worth sixty stones?"

"There is a stone weight engraved on the bow. It is definitely a genuine sixty-stone bow." Qin Xiang pointed to the scale in the middle of the bow handle to make a guarantee.

Gu Chan took a closer look and indeed found that there was a small word "sixty" engraved in the middle of the bow handle, proving that this bow was indeed a sixty-stone heavy bow.

In this case, it can only prove one thing, that is, the bow in Zhao Erniu's hand is definitely not weighing sixty stones, and he is the one who is breaking the law by bragging!

It's just that she didn't look closely at the scale in the middle of the bow handle yesterday. But even if she didn't look closely now, she could be sure just by the feel of drawing the bow that his bow did not have sixty stones.

Qin Xiang thought Gu Chan was stalling for time, so she sneered, "Why, you can't open it? Didn't you insist on trying? Now you're embarrassed, right?"

"Hmph! Who told you that I can't open it?" Gu Chan snorted disdainfully.

Then she had an idea and secretly started using physical skills to make her body as hard as iron. Then she grabbed the bowstring with her right hand and pulled it back hard.

"Buzz!"

There was a buzzing sound as the bow was drawn, and she really pulled the heavy bow, which weighed sixty stones.

The crowd standing at the door watching all cried out in shock.

"Wow! It really opened."

"He was born with supernatural powers. He was truly born with supernatural powers!"

"This boy will become a great man in the future."

“……”Gu Chan!

Dry!

Just now he scolded her for bragging and wanted to call the police to have her beaten with a stick!

Now they are praising her in various ways again. This group of people are really an extra. They change their attitudes faster than turning the pages of a book. The atmosphere is really good.

Qin Xiang stood next to Gu Chan, staring with eyes wide open, looking extremely surprised.

Since the bow cannot be released in the air to avoid damaging the bow, after Gu Chan pulled the bow, she slowly controlled the force and retracted the string.

Secretly shutting down her physical skills, she tilted her head to glance at Qin Xiang and said, "So, am I bragging?"

"This shouldn't be possible! How can you be so strong with such small arms and legs? Could it be that you were born with supernatural powers?" Qin Xiang said as she reached out and grabbed Gu Chan's arm and pinched it.

She couldn't imagine how someone as small as Gu Chan could have so much strength.

Gu Chan laughed secretly.

She didn't have any innate supernatural powers. She just secretly activated physical skills, and with the powerful spiritual power in her body, she was able to pull the heavy bow.

In Wuheng County, an important weapons town, most people make a living by casting iron, and there are few serious magicians, so no one immediately thought that she was a magician.

Waving Qin Xiang's hand away, Gu Chan shouted coldly, "Stop pinching me. I want this heavy bow of 60 stones. You equip it for me and then give me the silver. I still have to go sell vegetables!"

"Haha..." Qin Xiang smiled awkwardly and looked at the crowd, "Alright, let's go! He is not bragging, he must be born with supernatural powers. If he grows another two years, he might be able to pull a 100-stone bow."

When everyone heard this, they all dispersed while talking.

Gu Chan was speechless.

Otherwise, why do we say that entertainment methods in ancient times were so limited?

People walking on the street, as long as someone laughs or shouts, will gather to watch the fun. After that, everyone will disperse quickly. There is no one who wants to cause trouble. The main purpose is to watch the fun, no matter how big the event.

Qin Xiang saw that Gu Chan looked unhappy, so she apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, little brother. I misunderstood you just now. To express my apology, I will sell you this heavy bow for twenty taels, and also give you a quiver and ten arrows. What do you think?"

"Okay, then the total is thirty taels. I'll give you two ingots of silver for fifty taels, and you give me twenty taels."

"Okay, okay, you guys pick up your light bows first, and I'll go get you two sets of quivers and ten arrows, and I'll give you the silver later." Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled apologetically, and went into the inner room to get quivers and arrows.

Ma Zheng gave Gu Chan a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are amazing. You can really pull a bow weighing 100 dan. If I had known, you would have just pulled the bow weighing 100 dan to blind their eyes."

"Forget it! I guess with my current strength, I can't even pull a bow of 100 stones." Gu Chan put her mouth close to Ma Zheng's ear and answered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Ma Zheng took a deep breath and felt fortunate that Gu Chan had only pulled the bow of 60 stones instead of 100 stones.

Gu Chan calmed down and did not tell anyone about Zhao Erniu's bragging. Instead, she accompanied Ma Zheng to pick out a light bow.

After they had chosen their bows, Qin Xiang came out with two sets of quivers and twenty arrows, and asked Gu Chan for twenty taels of silver.

Gu Chan put the silver in her pocket, and she and Ma Zheng each carried their quiver baskets, then left the shop without paying any attention to Qin Xiang.

"This boy is interesting. He looks as delicate as a girl, but he is born with supernatural powers. It seems necessary to learn more about him."

Qin Xiang stood at the door of the store, watching the two people leaving, curling the corners of her lips and muttering to herself.
