Chapter 8: Righteousness Abounds Among the Butchered Dog Clan

  Everyone applauded, but only Jin Hu knew that his hand was born if it was before this distance from the target of three arrows should be a product word, rather than now there is a branch that is too far away, almost out of the red heart of the target, and the power is what makes Jin Hu satisfied.

  He shot two more arrows, and Jin Hu smiled a little, not because he hit the target accurately, but because his arm didn't feel any soreness at all, just like he hadn't drawn the bowstring before. He then shot seven more arrows in a row, and his arm still felt no sensation at all, even though the recurve bow in Jin Hu's hand was of great strength.

  He took the arrows back from the target, put them in his quiver, and had Zhang Yifan take out another eighteen arrows to fill it. This time, he shot all the arrows in his quiver continuously without stopping. His arm still didn't feel any soreness or fatigue, and Jin Hu was overjoyed.

  The people next to him were all stunned, and Zhang Yifan muttered: "Shooting Eagle Hand". Jin Hu was also taken aback, what is this Shooting Eagle Hand.

  "Hurry up and tell us, brother, how did you practice, it's too awesome!" Zhang Yifan said to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu didn't know how to practice, and this thing was not much earlier than you knew. Seeing a group of people looking at themselves with hopeful eyes, they could only say that when they were young, they practiced archery techniques. Suddenly, a group of people immediately abandoned their previous Western-style archery methods and all turned to Jin Hu's old techniques.

  Jin Hu became a teacher, correcting the postures of these individuals. The old technique of pinching the phoenix eye is not that easy to learn. At first, many people couldn't even shoot an arrow out. After practicing for a while, one of them got discouraged and complained, "I can't even shoot arrows now."

  Jin Hu listened and smiled, saying: "Actually, any method of shooting arrows is fine, the main thing is to open the bow, the key is still in the arm strength and accuracy, the method of shooting arrows you like is okay, no need to force it".

  So, those who sought convenience started using old methods again, while Zhang Yifan and Li Lin focused on practicing pinching phoenix eyes.

  At noon, Zhang Yifan went to the kitchen and made a few dishes. A group of people gathered around an eight-immortal table, drinking beer bought from a small store at the village entrance, and started chatting.

  Li Lin asked Jin Hu: "What exactly do you do for a living?"

  "I didn't tell you guys already? It's really just a construction site moving bricks." Jin Hu said with a mouthful of beer.

  Everyone who heard was stunned, Zhang Yifan asked: "Really? Impossible?" Looking at Jin Hu nodding, Li Lin said: "No wonder so much strength, do you want to practice arm strength, can the brothers still go to the construction site to work for a while?"

  What he said was so unexpected that Jin Hu almost spat out the wine in his mouth, and everyone else was stunned for a moment before bursting into loud laughter.

  "You're an arrow idiot! Every day at home, the equipment is not the same effect, you want to go to the construction site to move bricks, I reckon your old man would be too ashamed to show his face" Zhang Yifan jeered at Li Lin.

  Jin Hu also said to Li Lin: "I'm also unable to find a good job, whoever has connections can go be a bricklayer!"

  Li Lin said to Jin Hu, "I'm planning to start an archery club. Come help me out in two months as a coach! Six thousand a month, if that's not enough, we can negotiate!" He looked at Jin Hu with a hopeful expression.

  Jin Hu was slightly moved after hearing this, Xu Mao's money wasn't easy to get, and this job was pretty good. He hadn't thought of a way to make it happen yet, but having a relatively relaxed job would give him time to think about it slowly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I'll consider it! I'll give you an answer in a week."

  "Hmm! I'm waiting for your answer" Li Lin said happily, things hadn't been settled yet, but it was also a good start, and everyone became more enthusiastic. Jin Hu also thought these people were not bad, although at first Li Lin made him feel a bit uncomfortable, but after that, the other person's performance made Jin Hu think this person was reliable.

  After finishing dinner, the rest of them continued to practice archery in the yard under the scorching sun, while Jin Hu helped Zhang Yi Fan wash dishes.

  "I heard you say before that you have some three-edged steel arrowheads, can you make two dozen arrows for me? The tail feathers should be carved with a swallow's wing pattern, and the arrow shafts are best made of solid wood." Jin Hu said softly to Zhang Yifan.

  Zhang Yifan almost threw the bowl in his hand, and asked with wide eyes: "What do you want that thing for?" Thinking of Jin Hu's curved war bow with a pull force of 110 pounds, plus the arrow he wanted, what prey on this planet could use this bow and arrow except humans.

  Jin Hu smiled wryly: "I've run into a bit of trouble, this time delivering goods to an old boss, might be useful, or might not be useful! I also hope it's not useful".

  "Can't not go, right?" Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu's face and asked, seeing Jin Hu shake his head, he said: "No way, if I don't go, I'll have to run away." Then he roughly told the story.

  "You're really pushing it" A guy who even dares to sell a controlled crossbow is talking big, but his guts are actually quite small: "Tell me, who the hell is so tough? I also know some people in the underworld, maybe we can find someone to help you settle this matter".

  "Xu Mao!" A name escaped Jin Hu's lips.

  "Damn it!" Zhang Yifan looked at Jin Hu and asked, "How did you get mixed up with him? If it were someone else, they might not even know, but I've heard he's a foreign Daoist, the kind of people who play with this stuff, and there's no loose goods here, just a transit point." After finishing speaking, he put one finger under his nose and sniffed: "Much stronger than domestic ones."

  "Who was looking for whom, and after this time I won't bother with him anymore," said Jin Hu.

  Zhang Yifan looked out the door and said to Jin Hu, "It's hard! These people are not trustworthy, they're all ruthless and cunning. Those who value trustworthiness have already been hung up as a warning. When doing business with them, you need to keep one eye open even when sleeping."

  Jin Hu listened and thought for a moment: "Never mind about that, do you have what I want?"

  "Here! I've prepared it for you. Also, I'll change the bow handle for you. The way you're holding it now is easy to break and slow to string!" Zhang Yifan said.

  Jin Hu smiled and said: "You still have secrets, huh?"

  "A horse doesn't get fat without eating grass at night, who would normally pull the bow and arrow like that for you? If it's just for fun, then forget it. When it comes to saving your life, every second counts." Zhang Yifan said calmly: "Follow me".

  Followed Zhang Yifan out of the kitchen, took the bow that Jin Hu had just adjusted to a warehouse, rummaged through a pile of cardboard boxes, and found a leather case. Opening it, he said to Jin Hu, "This is the original alloy handle." After replacing the bow's original handle, he said, "Try it!"

  Jin Hu took the bow and lightly pulled it, the discomfort from earlier was gone. Following Zhang Yi Fan's actions, he disassembled and reassembled it, in under three seconds. The original bow had a card slot on the bow holder, so when the bow piece went in, it got stuck, no need to screw it like before.

  "It's really good stuff!" Jin Hu looked at the black matte bow and praised.

  "Of course it's a good thing, brothers should settle accounts clearly, 48,000." Zhang Yifan stretched out his hand to Jin Hu.

  "Isn't it expensive?"

  "You think so, this is a real war bow, handmade and forged, you're not unaware that foreigners' handicrafts are expensive"

  "I'm asking you which sentence is true, this one can't be sold for a moment, and the next moment it's worth a sky-high price?" Jin Hu asked with a smile.

  "You mind your own business! I was originally going to find two pieces of paper to paste together and make a fake ancestor, but it's too hard for them to pull off!"

  Jin Hu was also a straightforward person and directly took out 20,000 yuan from his pocket: "Twenty thousand, I only have this much on me."

  "With a 20,000 yuan imported handmade crossbow, you're more of a businessman than I am," Zhang Yifan said, glancing at Jin Hu's body for a while, but couldn't find anywhere to hide the money: "Damn! This business is done! With a few more friends like you, I might as well just quit and go beg at the village entrance. One of these days, you bastards will drive me to sell my ass at Linjiang Restaurant."

  He took over 20,000 yuan from Jin Hu's hand, licked his fingers and counted it. After counting once, he picked out twenty banknotes and handed them to Jin Hu: "I don't do business by emptying my pocket all at once, take it! Tonight, when the lights are off, don't shoot alone, find a girl to relieve your fire".

  Jin Hu took the money and put it in his pocket: "Let me see the arrow"

  Zhang Yifan nodded at Jin Hu, then rummaged through the cardboard box for a while, found one in a large pile of plastic bags, and handed it directly to Jin Hu.

  Jin Hu took one look and almost went crazy: "You're using this thing to hold the Eagle Feather Arrows?"

  Zhang Yifan nodded at the package: "There are frames inside, and they are moisture-proof." Then he stretched out his hand and took another package: "Bring a dozen fiber ones too. If the carved feathers get damp, they won't be usable."

  "Thanks," Jin Hu said to Zhang Yi Fan, just like someone had said before: some people you've known for a long time, but there's still a distance between you; some people you meet once and feel like old friends. Jin Hu had already considered Zhang Yi Fan as a friend in his heart: "If anything happens, just run away."

  "I thought you wouldn't sell me out, but now you're preparing to get rid of me?" Zhang Yifan smiled: "Don't worry, as soon as the news about using arrows to kill people appears, I'll go into hiding. The ID cards used in online stores are all fake ones that can't be traced back to us, do you need me to teach you this?"

  "I'm not talking about the police, I'm talking about Xu Mao!"

  "You don't have to worry about it anymore, when his people come, I'll immediately expose you one by one, ask what and I'll say what, and also spread the word that you forcibly bought my handmade bow for 20,000." Zhang Yifan replied with a smile.

  Jin Hu nodded: "That's good, don't suffer by holding on when you're dying."

  Zhang Yifan pushed Jin Hu: "Die! What kind of friendship do I have with you? Put down the carved feathers, I'll find a decent one for you. If not, those bastards outside will see it and cause trouble. They're all good things that need to be haggled over, and they're haggling over the price based on their feet! Go! Go!"

  Outside, Jin Hu's bow naturally caused a burst of envy again.

  "I said, with such good stuff, why didn't you bring it out earlier?"

  "Have you used it? If you want, 70,000! I'll help you get another one at a friend's price, don't say I'm not taking care of you." Zhang Yifan glanced at the person who spoke.

  Jin Hu had been practicing archery with Zhang Yi Fan for the whole afternoon, and only then did he confirm that he could shoot at most forty-five arrows in one go before needing to rest for at least half an hour.

  Li Lin insisted on sending Jin Hu back, got on the car, and Zhang Yi Fan said to Jin Hu through the window: "Be careful with everything!"

  Jin Hu nodded to show that he understood, watching Zhang Yifan enter the yard from the rearview mirror before looking at the front of the car, thinking: "The more righteous you are, the more you'll be bullied by scoundrels."
