Chapter 145 Being Played In Someone's Hand



The only good solution right now is this, Brother Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll have Dazhu ride his bicycle back to get the things."

"Forget it, I'll just go back with them and grab another coil of thick rope while I'm at it."

Zhou Mingli said, "Bring the knife with you too."

Brother Yu nodded. "Okay."

He immediately took Dazhu back to get the tools.

Sister-in-law Yu looked at Jiang Ci in amazement, "You really know how?"

"Aren't you from the city? How do you know this?"

Jiang Ci lied without batting an eye, "I was taught by my grandfather when I was little."

After saying that, Jiang Ci immediately changed the subject, "By the way, have all the fish been brought up?"

Zhou Mingli covered for Jiang Ci and calmly said, "We haven't finished loading yet, and we can't kill the wild boar in a short time. Why don't we go and get those fish first?"

Jiang Ci nodded decisively.

Sure enough, as long as there was food around, Sister-in-law Yu wouldn't say much and immediately said, "Let's hurry back first."

After Jiang Ci and the other two had picked all the fish into their baskets, Brother Yu and Dazhu returned on their bicycles.

Sure enough, Dazhu had a bow and four or five arrows on his back.

"This thing hasn't been used for years, sister-in-law, are you sure you can use it?"

Brother Yu handed the bow to Jiang Ci.

A perfectly standard recurve bow.

Jiang Ci tugged at the string; it was a little loose.

Look at that arrow again.

Um……

Judging from the degree of rust on the arrow, it's clear that it hasn't been used for a long time.

"Let's sharpen the arrowhead first, and I'll tighten the string."

Brother Yu was embarrassed, "Besides my great-grandfather, no one in our family knows how to use this thing, so it's been sitting idle and hasn't been used much."

"It's alright, having tools is better than not having them."

The group then divided the work, finding stones by the water to sharpen the arrowheads, while Jiang Ci directed Zhou Mingli to tighten the string.

After all, her strength was not as great as Zhou Mingli's; the tighter the string, the stronger the arrow's power.

However, before that, Eci tested the bow's flexibility.

Fortunately, the bow won't break when she draws it.

After working for quite some time, the bow and arrows were finally ready.

Jiang Ci took an arrow, nocked it, and aimed it at the tree.

She held her breath, hooked the string with three fingers, slowly pulled the bow fully open, and tightened her arms.

Brother Yu and Sister-in-law Yu watched Jiang Ci's actions with equal tension. They didn't understand either, but they felt that Jiang Ci's actions were quite intimidating.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao, the two children, tilted their heads back and stared at their own mother.

What are they doing?

"dad……"

Zhou Yang had just tugged at Zhou Mingli when Zhou Mingli covered his mouth.

Just then, Jiang Ci loosened his grip.

The arrow flew out in a flash.

It shot into the tree with a thud.

Wow! Aunt Jiang is amazing!

"It really hit the tree!"

Jiang Ci silently looked at the spot where she had hit the target.

cough……

If this were a standard target, she would have already missed.

But Brother Yu and Sister-in-law Yu didn't know that Jiang Ci's ability to shoot arrows into trees meant that she was truly capable!

The two were overjoyed, and Dazhu had already run over to check the bow and arrows.

The arrow penetrated about two centimeters into the tree trunk, showing that Jiang Ci's arrow was quite lethal.

Jiang Ci knew it would be useful, so she immediately perked up and practiced with that arrow for a while longer, getting seven rings, eight rings, and almost nine rings, and the depth of the shot also increased.

Feeling that she had practiced enough, Jiang Ci picked up her bow and said, "Tonight, we will definitely take down this wild boar."

She spoke calmly, but Brother Yu, Sister-in-law Yu, and the four of them—Da Zhu and Er Zhu—were bursting with confidence.

With my sister-in-law (Aunt Jiang) being so capable, what prey can't she catch?!

Zhou Mingli remained calm and seemed to have great faith in Jiang Ci.

What is there that he doesn't believe?

He had previously eaten reindeer meat that Jiang Ci had hunted abroad at his parents' house.

Dazhu and Erzhu were left behind to watch over Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang. The four adults, armed with kitchen knives, thick ropes, and bows and arrows, prepared to fight the wild boar one against four.

The four of them moved stealthily, even turning their flashlights to their lowest beam, and slowly approached the pit.

The pig boy, perhaps tired from digging in the soil, lay motionless at the bottom of the pit.

This is a great opportunity!

Zhou Mingli, Sister-in-law Yu, and Brother Yu all turned their gazes toward Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci felt immense pressure, but she remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of impatience. She steadily raised the bow and aimed the arrow at the wild boar.

The surroundings were quiet, and even the croaking of frogs seemed to be right next to you.

Zhou Mingli silently raised the flashlight in his hand to help illuminate the wild boar.

The wild boar opened its eyes briefly, but couldn't see anything in the white light, so it quickly closed them again.

Just then, a sound of wind breaking through the air!

The wild boar immediately let out a miserable scream!

The whole pig was violently ramming around in the big pit!

Jiang Ci's arrow struck one of the wild boar's eyes!

"Awesome!" Brother Yu clapped his hands enthusiastically!

Jiang Ci, who had been aiming at the wild boar's neck, twitched her lips. She calmly said, "Everything is under control."

Sister-in-law Yu looked at Jiang Ci with eyes full of admiration.

He can catch snakes with his bare hands and also shoot arrows!

How come I never noticed that Jiang porcelain has so many advantages before!

The wild boar in the pit was still jumping and thrashing about, its grieved eyes causing it to keep banging its head against the earthen walls of the pit. It tried to break the arrow, but even when the arrow broke, it plunged the arrowhead deeper into its eye.

Where the flashlight shone, Jiang Ci and the others could clearly see that the arrowhead had completely penetrated the wild boar's eye.
