Starting with a choice of a wife, a princess, a female general, and a down-on-her-luck Young Miss. But in this Warring States period, beauty is worthless; you need someone strong and capable. Excus...
The atmosphere was both ambiguous and awkward.
Zhou Wan'er pouted and turned away knowingly, while Chu Qingcheng's cheeks also flushed.
Seeing Gu Zijian's adorable appearance, Sun Jian couldn't help but smile and said softly, "This is the first time you've called me husband."
"I……"
Gu Zijian hesitated, so shy she wanted to disappear into a hole, speechless for a moment.
Seeing the girl's expression, Sun Jian decided not to tease her any further and quickly changed the subject: "You're right, this iron requires many generations and a long time to forge. I guarantee that there's only one of its kind in the world right now. Come on! Why don't you give it a try?"
Sun Jian picked up the composite bow and handed it to Gu Zijian, while pointing to the paulownia tree in the courtyard.
"Me? Is that okay?"
Gu Zijian was a little excited after receiving the compound bow.
"sure!"
"From here, aim here, then aim at the target, three points in one."
While teaching Gu Zijian, Sun Jian didn't forget to take advantage of her, because this girl had a great figure, with big breasts and a perky butt.
When she got close to Sun Jian, Gu Zijian's cheeks turned even redder, and she felt a strange sensation in her heart. Her breathing also became a little rapid, but none of this affected her concentration on learning how to use a semi-automatic compound bow.
"Remember, this bow doesn't need to be drawn. Just lock it in place and press the trigger to fire," Sun Jian continued to instruct from the side.
Gu Zijian adjusted his breathing, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out in the courtyard as the steel arrow, as sharp as lightning, pierced through the paulownia tree, with half of the arrowhead embedded in the earthen wall behind it, its tail humming and vibrating.
"Wow...that's amazing!"
"Such a powerful bow and arrow..."
The three women were instantly shocked by the power of the bow and arrow; in fact, they were quite startled!
They had initially thought that this bow was at most a bit more powerful than an ordinary longbow, but judging from the current situation, it not only pierced through the thick wood but also embedded itself deeply in the wall. Such power made it seem like an unparalleled divine weapon.
"This...you made this?" Zhou Wan'er seemed to detect something else in this, her eyes gleaming.
"Who else but me?"
Sun Jian was quite pleased with himself.
"Who exactly are you...? Why do you have so many strange and wonderful things, such delicious food that I've never seen before, and such powerful divine weapons?"
Zhou Wan'er asked the same question again, her curiosity about Sun Jian's identity and background growing ever more mysterious.
If she had only suspected it before, after seeing such a powerful divine weapon today, she was now completely certain that Sun Jian's identity was definitely no less than Gu Zijian's.
Could he be a descendant of the prestigious Mo family?
Our ancestors hid in this small county to escape the war?
Or perhaps he is from some prominent family in another country, and has fallen into the same predicament as I have?
Seeing the three women casting strange glances at him again, Sun Jian repeated his original words.
"I am your husband!"
“Alright, today, hunting isn’t the main purpose; the focus is on this!” Sun Jian pointed to the new energy fishing rod placed to the side and said to the women.
"Husband, what can this long rod with the iron cap do?" Chu Qingcheng asked cutely as she raised the new energy fishing rod and even pressed the power button on both handles.
Her action almost scared Sun Jian so much he wet his pants!
The most crucial point is that both the positive and negative poles of this new energy fishing rod are pointed at their genitals. If they press the button, these three girls will probably be forced to live as widows forever.
"Don't move!"
Sun Jian quickly took the fishing rod from Chu Qingcheng and put it back in its place before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
The three women were puzzled and all frowned.
Seeing their curious expressions, Sun Jian sighed helplessly and told them that this was a divine weapon even more powerful than a semi-automatic compound bow, and that it could kill people if used carelessly!
Upon hearing that it was even more powerful than a semi-automatic compound bow, the three women were eager to see its power. Unable to dissuade them, Sun Jian finally agreed to take them to see the world.
According to the regulations of the Great Gan Kingdom, ordinary women are not allowed to go out freely, but now that it is a chaotic world and everyone is starving, these regulations are naturally ignored.
In a typical family, the men would work in the fields during the day or hunt in the morning and go to town to exchange for grain in the afternoon, while the women would dig for wild vegetables on the hillside. Even after a busy day, they would only have enough to eat.
Therefore, when Sun Jian went out with his three women, they encountered many women from the village who were going to the back mountain to dig for wild vegetables.
"Hey, isn't this Scholar Sun from the east end of the village?"
Where are you going?
The woman speaking was the wife of Ma Dadan, a farmer in the village, and also the leader of this group of women.
His husband, Ma Dadan, was a notorious bully in the village. Because he owned several acres of land and hired some poor people to farm for him, he always felt superior to the other villagers and spoke with an arrogant attitude.
Her daughter-in-law, Ma Jinshi, was a notorious shrew, and few dared to provoke her.
"Fishing!"
Sun Jian was too lazy to say more, so he just gave a casual reply and walked on his own. But who would have thought that Ma Jinshi would be so persistent?
"What?"
"You? Fishing? Hahahaha."
Ma Jin laughed so hard she slapped her thigh, bending over backwards, and the women around her joined in the laughter.
"You probably didn't even see the fish before you fell into the river yourself."
"Sister Jin, look how poor he is, he's practically eating dirt. If he doesn't fish, is he supposed to go home and collect manure to eat?"
"Fishing is one thing, but bringing your three wives along is another. Are you afraid you'll fall into the water and have your wives retrieve your body?"
“Look at your skinny frame… Hey, Sister Jin, I’ve noticed that kid has gotten quite a bit stronger and taller lately. It seems like the last time I saw him he was so frail…”
Listening to the unrestrained slander from the village women beside him, Gu Zijian wanted to slap them a few times to teach them a lesson.
Not to mention Zhou Wan'er, even the gentle Chu Qingcheng couldn't stand it anymore, which shows how awful the words of these shrewish women were.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jinshi still wouldn't let it go, saying, "You risked your life to marry three wives, and now you're about to die because you can't pay your taxes. Instead of staying home to have children, I don't know what you're doing out here."
"What the hell is it to you?"
Others might spoil her, but Sun Jian wouldn't.
He dared to offend even Sun Hu, let alone a little shrew.
"Ha, you poor scholar, barely scraping by, and you dare to choose three wives? I'll see how you get beheaded when you can't afford the food in twenty-odd days!"
After being rebuked, Ma Jinshi became furious and stomped her feet repeatedly in anger.
Sun Jian was too lazy to get entangled with these shrewish women, so he simply led the three women and quickened his pace.
"Sister Jin, what is that little kid from the Sun family holding in his hand?"
"Who cares about him? Now all he has left is to beg for food and wait to die!"
