Chapter 8 Doubt
"Good guy, you can hit every target within thirty meters!"
Fang Zhixing was overjoyed.
According to the level of the shooter, apprentices are divided into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced and full level.
A full-level apprentice archer is naturally the most powerful among the apprentices, capable of hitting all targets within thirty meters.
"This is a full-level cheat. As long as every condition is met, it's done in one step!" Fang Zhixing understood clearly in his heart.
Then he distanced himself, stood about thirty meters away, aimed at the bull's-eye, drew his bow and shot an arrow.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thump thump thump!
Hit! Hit! Still a hit!
The arrows are all in vain!
"Wocao, so awesome!"
Xigou was amazed and his eyes were widened, "You hardly practiced archery, and it only took you half a month to get the title of apprentice archer. It's so easy."
Fang Zhixing was so happy that he squinted at the dog and said with a smile: "Don't be jealous yet, how are you? [Bond Plug-in] can be improved at the same time, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
The thin dog suddenly became excited, staring directly at the panel.
However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
"What's going on? Why doesn't my plug-in work?" Xigou couldn't help but become anxious.
Fang Zhixing analyzed: "Bond, bond, isn't the bond between you and me long enough?"
Xigou blinked and said thoughtfully: "The panel says that we need 'long-term companionship', maybe because the half month we have been together is not considered a 'long-term stay'."
Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and reminded: "This bond relationship is not an ordinary relationship. It requires some sincerity, right? If someone like you is half-hearted and doesn't treat me as his master, can it be considered a bond?"
"..."
The thin dog was silent, thoughtful.
From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to admit that he was a dog.
He and Fang Zhixing must be on an equal footing.
But right now the plug-in just doesn’t work...
"Well, think about it carefully. I think the most important thing in being a human being is sincerity, and the same is true in being a dog." Fang Zhixing was busy with his spare time, and outputted PUA.
As soon as he finished speaking, the panel in front of Fang Zhixing flashed with light, and new information emerged.
[Ordinary shooter·Full level conditions:
1. Hit the bullseye 50 meters away at least 10 times (not completed)
2. 100 kilograms of any kind of whole grains (unfinished)
3. 50 pounds of meat (unfinished)]
"Oh, can my archery skills continue to improve?" Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Seeing this, Xigou came to his senses and analyzed seriously: "Condition one is relatively easy to complete. After all, you have an 80% hit rate within a range of 50 meters. You can achieve it by shooting a few more times. As for conditions two and three, It’s all about accumulating resources!”
Fang Zhixing nodded and replied: "The second condition is food, any kind of whole grains will do; the third condition is meat, but he didn't specify what kind of meat it is. Pork, beef, fish, etc., maybe all of them are OK, as long as you can collect fifty Just a pound will do.”
Xigou pondered: "If this is the case, there is no need to worry about meat, you can catch it in the river, but the difficulty is food."
Now that there is a famine, the most scarce thing is food.
Fang Zhixing thought for a while, proposed a solution, and said via voice transmission: "I can hunt and sell the prey for money, or directly exchange it for food."
Xigou perked up: "Do you know how to sell it? Where to sell it?"
Fang Zhixing searched his mind and recalled: "Out of Funiu Village, about eighty miles south along the river, there is a market town. Daniu's father once went there to sell animal skins and herbs."
Xigou asked: "Daniu hasn't been there?"
Fang Zhixing shook his head.
Xigou muttered: "You can try this method. If you can hunt a lot of prey, you won't need to go to the river to fish."
Fang Zhixing nodded and quickly made a calculation in his mind.
Before I knew it, night fell.
One person and one dog return to the village.
These days, the two of them go out early and come back late, avoiding other villagers as much as possible, keeping a low profile, like a lone wolf.
The stars were shining brightly and it was getting late.
The village was extremely quiet. As far as the eye could see, no house had any light.
There is no way, the conditions here are backward, and at night you need to light oil lamps or candles to get light.
However, oil lamps and candles are luxuries. Who can afford them?
I heard that the old village chief had many treasures at home, but his family was reluctant to use them casually.
Fang Zhixing came to the east end of the village, groped in the dark, entered the village from here, and walked home along a familiar route.
"stop!"
Suddenly, the thin dog pricked up its ears and heard a message.
Fang Zhixing immediately stopped, subconsciously raised his bow to pick up an arrow, put it on the arrow string, and completed a series of movements smoothly and smoothly.
At the same time, he sent a message and asked: "What's wrong?"
The thin dog scanned the area back and forth and said, "I just heard a footsteps, very light, not far away."
Fang Zhixing quickly looked around. Under the moonlight, the scenery was hazy, and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.
Between the houses, there are continuous shadows and too many blind spots.
He saw no one.
The thin dog was lying on the ground listening, suddenly raised his head, stared at a dark alley not far away, and said through a message: "There is someone there, I heard a slight breathing, sure!"
Fang Zhixing understood clearly, and slowly drew his bow to aim over there. At the same time, he coughed heavily, and suddenly shouted in an angry voice: "Who is this? He pooped on the road and stepped on me." All.”
It was quiet and no one answered.
Xigou listened carefully, and after a while, he nodded and said, "The man left, and the footsteps became farther and farther."
Fang Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief, ran quickly, rushed home, closed the door, and blocked the back of the door with a wooden board.
He turned to ask Xigou: "Is anyone following you?"
The dog's hearing is very sensitive. He shook his head and said, "Probably not."
"That's good."
Only then did Fang Zhixing relax his tense body, but his face was still as gloomy as water.
The thin dog squatted down, scratched his chin with his hind legs, and muttered: "That person may be the murderer of Ergou."
Fang Zhixing also had this suspicion: "Half a month has passed, Ergou's two legs are probably eaten."
Xigou was horrified and recalled: "I once watched a documentary. Psychological experts found that cannibals are very perverted. After eating human flesh once, they will become addicted and want to eat it a second or third time. , even if there are delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of them, they still want to eat people."
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "We have to be more careful in the future."
In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and it was just dawn.
Fang Zhixing and Xigou got up early, packed a set of bow and arrow equipment, and set off from the west end of the village toward the vast mountains.
"Hey, isn't this a big cow?"
As they were walking, a group of people jumped out from the thorn.
Fang Zhixing turned around and looked, and his heart suddenly trembled. There were many people on the other side, including more than 20 young and middle-aged people.
The leaders were clearly the three sons of the old village chief, Zhao Dahu, Zhao Erhu, and Zhao Sanhu, and the followers were all members of the Zhao family.
The way people in the village hold together is often based on blood. People of the same clan are one family, and everyone else is an outsider.
The old village chief is the largest household in Funiu Village, with brothers, siblings and descendants, totaling sixty or seventy people.
In contrast, the families with other surnames range from a dozen people to a family of three, making them appear to be weak and weak.
There are also a few families who are helpless like Daniu.
Fang Zhixing immediately put a smile on his face, lowered his head, and greeted obediently and humbly: "Hello, Uncle Zhao, Hello, Second Uncle Zhao, and Third Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Dahu nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with recently?"
Fang Zhixing pointed to the scar on his forehead and said: "I went hunting a few days ago and encountered a black bear. I was injured by a fall, so I nursed it at home for a few days."
Zhao Dahu understood and asked, "What, you want to go hunting in the mountains?"
Fang Zhixing replied: "My family is out of food, so I came out to try my luck."
"Do you want to come with us?" Zhao Dahu suddenly asked.
Fang Zhixing said continuously: "No, I don't have much ability, I will only drag you down."
"Okay, be careful. Don't go too far. It's not good if you get lost. Let's go first." Zhao Dahu patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and walked forward with a smile.
Fang Zhixing stood silently, watching Zhao Dahu and others drift away, and then he walked in another direction.
After Zhao Dahu walked away, he suddenly thought of something, looked back, and frowned.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Erhu asked.
Zhao Dahu hesitated and said: "Have you noticed that Da Niu's face is rosy and his complexion is very good. I just touched his shoulder and felt a little fleshy on him."
Zhao Erhu's expression changed and he suddenly said: "Don't tell me, that kid is really in good spirits."
Zhao Sanhu said in surprise: "There is a famine these days. Everyone is so hungry that there is no one left nor a ghost. How can he be okay?"
Zhao Dahu pondered: "Daniu's father died and he lived alone. His family should have been too poor for a long time, but looking at him, it doesn't look like he has been hungry at all."
The three brothers discussed back and forth, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong with Daniel.
