Zizhuyuan Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market is one of the most profound manifestations of old Beijing culture. Its all about having fun here. Guo Yu has been here many times, but each time he likes to wander around and look at his favorite things: crickets, birds, goldfish, dragon cats, dwarf rabbits, walnuts, bodhi seeds, strange rocks, insects... all sorts of playthings. This is the essence of Zizhuyuan Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market - "play culture".

  Mu Yang, preoccupied with something on his mind, headed directly to Pang Yuans stall without lingering. Pangzi was sitting in a recliner, watching the store employee sell goods, and was also kneading a pair of large walnuts in his hand.

  "Hey, Boss, business is booming!" Murong Yang said as he walked in to greet him.

  The two were too familiar, and the relationship was good. The fat man didnt get up at all, lying on the recliner and asked: "Its weekend today, business is okay, you called me just now, why did you rush over so quickly, whats the urgent matter?"

  "Brother, find a quiet place to talk, I have something to ask of you."

  "You little scamp, youre in trouble now. Lets see what you do." With that, Fatso took Muyang into the inner room, a space of less than 20 square meters with hardly any furnishings inside, mainly used for storing goods at night, and only had a wooden plank bed in the corner for keeping watch.

  "Fat brother, can I borrow something from you? Is it okay?"

  "Lets talk about it."

  "Lend me your crossbow for a few days."

  Fat boy stopped rubbing the walnut and looked at Mu Yang, saying, "Thats not something fun to play with, dont cause trouble, or Fat Brother will be dragged down with you."

  "Come on, Im one of the top five excellent university students in the new century, I wont do anything illegal. I just want to play with it for a few days and then return it to you. If not, can you tell me where you bought it? Ill go buy one myself." Murong Yang said.

  "Is Fat Brother a narrow-minded person? Is he afraid youll get into trouble? Forget it, just have fun. Youre not that kind of unreliable person, but remember, be careful, if the police catch you, youll be detained." Fat Brother reminded with concern.

  "Fat brother, dont worry, we wont ruin our future just for fun. I cant afford the consequences of being detained."

  "Lets go home and get it, you and I."

  The fatty didnt say much, and after instructing the store clerk, he drove directly to his home with Mu Yang. In the storage room, he rummaged through a trunk and opened it, revealing a pile of loose parts inside.

  "This is the Arthur Knox crossbow, a genuine Canadian import. This type of crossbow is our countrys special police active equipment and is one of the worlds most famous military and police crossbows. Look at the camouflage pattern on it, this is called True Color technology and has been processed through Kolorfusion craftsmanship to achieve the best camouflage effect, which is absolutely beneficial for disguise. And look at the sight, it comes with infrared, which also has a certain effect at night."

  Fat boy said as he assembled the crossbow, Mu Yang watched his movements without blinking, afraid that when the time came, he would not be able to do it himself.

  "Dont stare so much, just take a look and get an impression. Theres a manual here, you can assemble it yourself if you recognize the characters. This is an arrow, originally there were 20 of them, later I bought another 50 domestic ones for practice. You can take them all away." As he spoke, the fatty disassembled the crossbow again and put the arrows together in a box, handing it to Muyang.

  Mu Yang stretched out his hand to take it, but Pang Ge grasped the box tightly and wouldnt let go. Mu Yang pulled twice but couldnt pull it over. "Pang Ge, this isnt your sister-in-law, no need to be so reluctant," Mu Yang said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  Mo Yang knew that Pang Ges thing was not easy to come by, it was the original goods he had managed to get through a friend, at that time Pang Ge had spent 8,000 yuan and even treated someone to a meal at Quanjude, Mo Yang took out his Buck 650 plain edge Nighthawk, Pang Ge sneered and took out his own treasure, showing off in front of Mo Yang.

  "Xiao Yang, you know this thing has great power and can easily hurt people. Im not worried about it being damaged, but Im afraid youll hurt others and cause some kind of trouble. Its just that my heart isnt at ease." Pang Ges face was all scrunched up, if he didnt have a good relationship with Xiao Yang, he really wouldnt dare lend this thing out.

  "Dont worry, Fatty, if I get you into trouble, Ill take the blame." He said, snatching the suitcase.

  "Alright, lets go back to Guanyuan." Fatso said, driving and taking Muyang back to the Guanyuan Flower, Bird, Fish, and Insect Market, because Muyangs bicycle was still there.

  He picked out a gray cheongsam in a nearby mall, which wasnt expensive at just 160 yuan. When Muyang tried it on, he felt extremely retro and instantly transformed from an urban young man to a cultural youth. He also bought a gold ring on the first floor of Lao Feng Xiang Jewelry Store for over 2000 yuan, almost bankrupting Muyang.

  "It seems like I need to take some time off and go back home to get some living expenses from my old man."

  He picked up all his things and returned home. This house was not the one he mentioned earlier, but an old house that belonged to his family. After his mother passed away, he and his father lived there for almost two years before his father remarried and they moved out. However, the house was not sold, as his father said it would be used for Mu Yangs future marriage, so it remained vacant. Later, when Mu Yang went to university, he moved into the dormitory, but since this house was near the Northern Foreign Language School, it was very convenient to live here. So, Mu Yang tidied up the place and sometimes stayed in school while other times staying here, making this his independent space.

  After returning home, Mu Yang hastily assembled the crossbow and brought some food to travel through time and space to the Republic of China era. He didnt plan to provoke the Japanese for now, but first find a suitable place to practice his crossbow skills. If he encountered Japanese people, he couldnt even shoot an arrow accurately, what could he use to kill the devils?

  Wearing out of the cornfield, leaving the vicinity of the main road, find a willow forest by the riverbank, where the thick tree trunks are just right for Mu Yang to practice archery.

  A red cloth is hung on the tree as a target, and the effective range of this crossbow is 150 meters. Of course, Muyang cant do it to this extent, and even special forces may not be able to do it. Generally, a master can shoot at a distance of about 40 or 50 meters.

  And this crossbow arrow can shoot targets at a distance of 40-50 meters, with more power than a handgun, which is capable of directly shooting down reindeer and brown bears.

  Initial target 50 meters, aiming through the sight and adopting a shooting posture, pulling the trigger to fire.

  Only to see that red ribbon still hanging on the tree, blown by the gentle breeze, constantly shaking its bright body. Damn it, actually missed the target! At such a close distance, a one-meter-thick big tree, even if you cant hit the red ribbon, how could you not even hit the big tree? What a failure.

  Continue practicing, although its not necessary to become a godly shooter, but at least be able to shoot and kill the target at close range. He didnt want to really use his dagger to stab people, that would be too dangerous.

  After practicing the crossbow for a while, Mu Yang returned to the side of the road to observe for a period of time. He wanted to see if any Japanese people passed by here and whether he had the possibility of shooting and killing devils in the wild.

  Two days passed like this, and Mu Yang felt that his shooting skills were rapidly improving, and he was already able to hit stationary targets with a single shot. However, observing the Japanese armys situation was not ideal, it was very bad, these past few days not seeing any Japanese soldiers passing by here, didnt know if it was bad luck or good luck, anyway his plan to shoot and kill devils in the wilderness fell through.

  And these days, Muyang didnt have a good time either. He once again experienced the disadvantages of time standing still.

  He practiced archery in the Republic of China time and space, when he was hungry, he could go home to eat, when he was sleepy, he could go back to sleep. However, when he slept, the Republic of China time and space here was also static. After he came over, he still had to experience the cool breeze and moonlight of the autumn night in the wilderness of the Republic of China again.

  In the end, he had no choice but to dig out a camping tent from home, set it up by the river, bring over his bedding and sleep there, which also saved him from wasting time in his main residence. He did find the feeling of hiking and camping outdoors alone again, just like before, only this time, he was lonelier.

  This state also made him determined to practice archery as soon as possible and then go around the city of Ba County, so his archery skills have increased so rapidly in recent days, all of which were forced.

  Three days after the Republic of China era, in the early morning, Muyang packed up his camping equipment and sent it back to his home along with his bow and crossbow. Then he brought his mountain bike upstairs from downstairs, changed into a brand new Zhongshan suit, and prepared to set off for the county town, starting his new journey.

  Carrying the bicycle, silently chanting a voice to cross over, Mu Yang appeared on the riverbank willow forest, without delay, directly carrying the bicycle through the fields, came to the highway, recognizing that it was the north, riding the bicycle towards Ba County County City.

  Mountain bikes are absolutely unbeatable on this kind of road, and mountain bikes riding on this road is the most enjoyable. So it can be said that they have also met their match.
