Chapter 98

How could she eat so much?

He looked at Gu Beihuai: "This child..."

Gu Beihuai understood his concern and gave Huang Shi a reassuring look: "She\'s not sick, she just has a high metabolism. You\'ll see in the morning."

Huang Shi: "..."

Why was he so skeptical!

But the vegetables picked and fish caught this morning were all eaten up, so they\'d have to work again in the afternoon.

After lunch, the three sat and rested for a while.

Then Huang Shi got up to wash the dishes, with the well-behaved Meteorite-colored Border Collie helping at his side.

At this time it wasn\'t causing trouble either, just working diligently!

It knew it was no match for that woman.

Gu Beihuai took Nan XiangWan to the vegetable garden to pick more vegetables.

The two of them had to do some work, otherwise Huang Shi wouldn\'t be able to keep up by himself.

Nan XiangWan was also quite obedient, doing whatever Gu Beihuai told her to do.

Though when picking vegetables she crushed them several times by using too much force.

But they were still edible!

With their strength and speed, in no time they had picked a whole cartful of vegetables!

By the time they drove the cart back, Huang Shi had just finished washing the dishes.

Washing a whole table of bowls, chopsticks and plates took quite some time.

Huang Shi thought he was working fast enough, but Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan were even faster.

When Huang Shi saw a whole cart of vegetables, he was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

With that work speed, it\'d be a waste not to till three acres of land!

Instantly, Huang Shi looked at the two with keen, expectant eyes.

The livestream audience was also tired of messing around by now, quietly sitting down to watch the show.

Comments:

- Huang Shi says he\'s never been so shocked in his life!

- Huang Shi is looking at those two with hopeful eyes, seems like he wants them to stay a few more days to work.

- Time to work! Go till the fields!

- I\'m laughing to death! When Huang Shi saw the cart of vegetables, his eyes lit up!

...

But just vegetables definitely wouldn\'t be enough, they needed some meat too.

Huang Shi pointed to the fishing tools next to him: "Go to the fish pond?"

Gu Beihuai: "We had fish at lunch, let\'s have some meat for dinner."

Huang Shi: "All I have is smoked bacon, you wouldn\'t want to slaughter my chickens right?"

He couldn\'t bear to!

He was hoping to get eggs from those chickens!

Gu Beihuai: "Let\'s try our luck up the mountain."

Huang Shi: "???"

Was he serious?

Gu Beihuai looked around: "Do you have any bows?"

Huang Shi: "..."

Twenty minutes later.

Huang Shi borrowed two bows and some arrowheads from the indigenous villagers living nearby.

This part of the island was undeveloped, with hills and mountains. The villagers living here used to be self-sufficient with these kinds of tools.

Bows weren\'t commonly seen in the city, but here dozens of years ago, some people still used them.

These two bows hadn\'t been used for many years but were well maintained, clearly treasured by their owners.

The arrowheads were also broken arrows, but had been polished and were gleaming!

Gu Beihuai picked up a bow, pulled on it, and nodded.

It was a vintage hunting bow, probably with around a 60-pound draw weight, which required great strength just to draw.

Because wild boars still roamed these hills decades ago, the villagers used high-powered bows.

Next to him, Nan XiangWan\'s eyes lit up when she saw the bow. She grabbed one and drew it back fully.

Not bad, about a 40-50 pound draw weight.

Enough for hunting, but too low for battle.

Huang Shi\'s eyeballs bulged out!

When he borrowed the bows he had tried to draw one but couldn\'t even move it.

He wasn\'t surprised Gu Beihuai could draw it, since they\'d known each other for years and he knew Gu Beihuai trained intensely.

But what was up with this young girl?

Damn, drawing a 60-pound hunting bow fully!

This was a real hunting bow, not some prop.

And she could draw it fully!

What monstrous arm strength!

Meanwhile, Gu Beihuai wasn\'t surprised at all. He knew the intensity Nan XiangWan trained at daily was almost matching his own.

Comments:

- Can someone tell me why Teacher Huang has that expression?

- Drawing a hunting bow fully, Nan XiangWan\'s strength is shocking! That bow must require at least 20-30 kg of draw weight!

- Primitive hunting bows, I bet you guys have never seen one! Rare nowadays, the bow is well maintained, seems the villagers here used to hunt!

- Can the experts above explain more specifically? What is a hunting bow? What does drawing fully mean?

- Let me briefly explain. Everyone knows a bow\'s elasticity right? Aside from the bowstring, the bow\'s flexibility also affects the draw weight! There are standards for a bow\'s draw weight. Generally bows you see on the market are light bows under 30 lbs, just for fun.

- Hunting bows specifically refer to bows above 60 lbs draw weight. Drawing them fully requires immense strength, regular adult males can\'t do it! Also, the higher the draw weight, the faster the shot speed. These two bows were probably for hunting wild boars back then!

- Learned something new!

- I don\'t even know what to say, let me blindly praise Nan XiangWan!

- Gu Beihuai fans don\'t get upset yet, just Nan XiangWan drawing the hunting bow fully surpasses all of you!

- Gu Beihuai fans didn\'t even say anything! Looking to start a fight?

- Nan XiangWan yyds!

...

After picking up the bows and drawing them, Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan started tacitly making arrow feathers on the spot.

They had bows but no arrows.

How could they hunt?

Luckily the owner who lent Huang Shi the bows also gave some arrowheads.

They just needed to make the arrow shafts!

The simplest way was using wood as the base material.

Nan XiangWan started chopping wood right there!

Gu Beihuai took various tools from the small shed.

Without speaking, they both knew what to do and cooperated seamlessly to start making arrows.

By now, Huang Shi was too shocked to speak. He silently squatted on the side watching with Meteorite-colored Border Collie.

He saw them work quickly, one chopping and one polishing.

Soon, several arrow shafts were done. Taking the borrowed arrowheads, they put them together.

Hammering them into the ground!

Inserting tightly!

Rough arrow feathers were made just like that.

Only 8 in total.

Because there were only 8 arrowheads, not easy to make more.

Huang Shi watched them make the arrow feathers, swallowing hard: "Do you need chicken feathers?"

Nan XiangWan: "Oh? You have some?"

Without fletching, arrows would \'twist\' in flight, easily blown off course by air currents. But feathers create just enough drag to stabilize the arrow.

Huang Shi patted Meteorite-colored Border Collie\'s head.

It immediately ran to the chicken coop, bringing back a mouthful of freshly plucked feathers.

Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan took the chicken feathers and attached them to the arrows right there.

Now they were real arrows!

When the two finally finished, each grabbed a hunting bow, ready to head up the mountain.

Huang Shi looked at them, almost afraid to speak now.

They were like two bandit chiefs going hunting!

Not like they were just going to hunt at all.

More like going up the mountain to fight tigers!

But Huang Shi still changed his shoes and followed them, carrying a woven basket on his back.

With his dog.

Meteorite-colored Border Collie had strongly refused at first, but Huang Shi dragged it along.

The dog could be useful at the crucial moment!
