Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 304

It didn't take long before we came to a steep slope.

Cheng He has wandered around this mountain road since he was a child and is very familiar with this area.

This slope is very steep, young people have to be careful, let alone these two old men with white hair.

Therefore, Cheng He slowed down and kept walking behind them.

The slope is getting steeper and steeper, so you need to be very careful, and you have to hold on to the tree trunks around you to keep it stable at any time, and you will slide down if you are not careful.

Cheng He followed behind and watched, and couldn't help saying: "Old man, do you want to help? It's not easy to go here."

This shout was good, and the burly old man, Lao Yang, turned his head and replied, "Young man, don't regard us as that kind of useless weak and dying old man."

The tone was still disdainful.

Cheng He was taken aback, hey, this old man has quite a personality!

He thought, this is probably an old man who refuses to accept his old age.After reaching a certain age, some elderly people are more resistant to such things as "getting old" and are unwilling to admit that they are getting old.

Maybe he climbed the mountain so stubbornly, just to prove that he is still good, the sword is not old, and the hero still has a place to use.

The thinner old Liu saw that Lao Yang's attitude was not very good, so he said to Cheng He on his behalf: "Young man, this old man is a bit stubborn, don't take it wrong!... Then what, did we block your way? You guys Just go straight ahead, come on, I'll make way for you..."

In fact, there is no such thing as a road, and everyone walks their own way.

Cheng He said: "It's okay, we are also out for a walk, it doesn't matter how fast or slow."

Jiang Yutong also said: "It's okay, we are not in a hurry. Speaking of which, you are in good health. My grandpa seems to be about the same age as you, but he doesn't exercise as much as you."

Mr. Jiang Qian specializes in the field of art, so it is true that he is not so strong in sports.

He was in Peach Blossom Village, basically turning around the road in front of the village and behind the village, and he had never walked through such a deep mountain.

After we greeted each other and started talking, we gradually became familiar with each other.

After going up this steep slope with difficulty, several people found a big rock to rest and rest their feet.

The old man surnamed Yang is not very talkative, basically it is the old man surnamed Liu who talks.

"Young man, why did you travel so far to pick wild vegetables?" Old Liu asked when he saw that Jiang Yutong was carrying a basket full of wild vegetables.

Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "We still want to go there to see the cherry trees. I haven't seen them before, so I'm curious."

"Well, the cherries in the mountains should taste good, but how long does it take for the cherries to ripen? Can I eat them now?" Old Liu asked with a thoughtful look.

Jiang Yutong replied with a smile: "I didn't do it for eating, I just wanted to see it. People who haven't seen it are just more curious."

Lao Liu nodded, and said in an envious tone, "Young people are still in good health. If you want to go to the mountains to do something, just go."

Jiang Yutong asked curiously: "Old man, how did you walk so far? You climbed such a steep mountain!"

Old Liu looked up at the blue sky and the treetops above his head, and said, "We are getting old, and once we climb the mountain, we will lose one time, so we came here. The scenery here is good."

Lao Yang immediately yelled at him: "You are old, but I am not old!"

Old Liu smiled helplessly: "Yes, yes, I am old, but you are not old. We were just born in the same year anyway."

Obviously, he has nothing to do with this stubborn old man.

A gust of wind blew away the sweat on their foreheads, and while they were talking, they got up and walked forward again.

Cheng He has been following unhurriedly, occasionally chatting with him.It was always the kind-looking old Liu who was looking for topics, and Lao Yang almost never spoke.

When he reached an open area, Lao Yang stopped.

Lao Liu hurriedly said: "This place is good, let's rest here."

Lao Yang untied his backpack, and said to Cheng He who was following up for the first time: "You don't have to follow, just go wherever you want. We won't go."

He probably sensed that Cheng He wanted to protect them at any time, so he spoke first.

Cheng He asked: "Then when you go back..."

"You don't have to worry about going back, we will be careful." Lao Yang untied his backpack and said.

It can be seen that he seems a little unhappy because he feels protected.

And he said earlier that he hoped that others would not regard him as a "useless weak and dying old man", so he was unhappy because of this.

Cheng He didn't say anything, and continued on his way.

Jiang Yutong followed at the end and saw that Lao Yang took out a large slingshot from his bag, and then took out several boxes and placed them on the rocks a little far ahead.

What is this old man doing?

After arranging the empty boxes, he walked back, picked up his slingshot, picked up a stone as a bullet, and shot at the empty boxes.

Jiang Yutong was very surprised, such a long distance, how could it be seven to eighty meters away, the box is only the size of a palm, so far away, can it be aimed accurately?
The hobbies of the elderly are also acceptable.

In order to see the result, she didn't leave at all, and stood there watching.

When she didn't leave, Cheng He stopped in front and waited for her.

Lao Yang did aim for a while, and then typed out, with a "pop", hit one, and the plastic box was blown away.

Jiang Yutong was full of admiration, Lao Yang, who doesn't like to talk, is really not old, and his head is so high.

She happily applauded Lao Yang and said, "It's amazing!"

But Lao Yang just glanced at her, and didn't express any compliment to her.

Lao Liu himself found a big rock with the sun behind him and sat down, enjoying the mountain breeze, watching Lao Yang perform.He himself has no desire to fight.

After Lao Yang finished the first one, he was going to play the second one.

However, he changed his position a little - the first was standing up.

Now it is changed to half-squatting, one knee is bent, the other is half-kneeling, and then aiming.

Looking at it from a distance, Cheng He felt that the old man should have been a soldier. His posture with the slingshot looked a bit like he was holding a gun.

Even the aiming pose is the same.

Moreover, he is not young anymore. It is really not easy to have such good energy and accuracy. He should exercise a lot in normal times.

It's quite interesting, other old men and old ladies probably practice some Tai Chi or something, but he plays with a slingshot.

With a "snap", it hit again, and the box flew immediately.

Then came the third one, who changed his posture again—to crawling, aiming and shooting.

This further verified Cheng He's idea that the old man must have been a soldier.

Creeping shooting is a bit like playing on the battlefield. It is said that it was a tactic invented by Napoleon.

Cheng He remembered the old soldier that Liu Zhicheng had come to find him a few days ago and told him about.At this time, he was not sure whether it was him or not.

It feels a little different, because these two people look too ordinary, and they don't have the posture of being in a high position at all.In addition, Liu Zhicheng never called Cheng He.

If it is them, should they make a phone call first?

Forget it, whether he is or not.Anyway, on this mountain road, Cheng He will take care of him to some extent, and will not take special care of him.

Even if it was really him, Liu Zhicheng also said, don't take care of him too deliberately, because others don't like being special.

So be it.

Cheng He didn't come forward to inquire.

After hitting three bombs in a row, Lao Yang was not excited, and even seemed a little dull. He said to Lao Liu, "I don't have any strength to play still. If you don't play this, go and throw it for me?"

He wanted to play something like a frisbee—when the box was thrown in the air, he knocked it down with a slingshot.

Generally gun enthusiasts like to play like this.

This kind of gameplay is to increase the difficulty. It needs to test the shooting speed, eyesight, and accuracy, which is much more difficult than shooting still.

"I'm not going. What if you hit me? Your child doesn't love you, but my child loves me." Old Liu sat there without moving.

"Don't worry, I can't hit you." Lao Yang said quite proudly.

"No. It's boring." Old Liu was still unwilling to move.

Jiang Yutong said cheerfully, "I'll do it."

She was quite willing.

It's interesting to see this old man hit every shot.

Lao Yang raised his eyelids, and finally there was a look of anticipation on his expressionless face, and he said, "Aren't you afraid of hitting you?"

"The old man is so skilled, he must not be able to hit me." Jiang Yutong said with a smile.

She has seen it before, three shots and three hits, the master is among the people!
In the past, I could only see such a master in the video, but now I meet it in person, and I feel very honored to throw a box for someone.

Of course, she didn't have Cheng He's eyesight, so she didn't realize that the old head was a soldier.

"That's fine, you go to the side of the stone, stand there and throw it." Lao Yang said directly without being polite.

Jiang Yutong was not far from the rock, and trotted past, looking very happy.

Cheng He stood there and watched.

Jiang Yutong picked up a box and asked loudly from a long distance, "Master, how high should I throw it?"

"Throw it as high as you can, try your best." Lao Yang also replied loudly, with a lot of energy.

Jiang Yutong looked up at the sky, and really threw it with all his strength.

She thought, the higher the throw, the longer the time in the sky, and the more time for Lao Yang to aim.

After all, people are old, and they should take care of them a little bit.

But she threw it with all her strength, and she probably threw it five or six meters high-mainly because she didn't master the trick of throwing.

After mastering the trick, even very light objects can be thrown high and far. For example, a playing card can be thrown tens or even hundreds of meters away.

But Jiang Yutong obviously couldn't do it. The first time he only threw it five or six meters high, and he fell very quickly.

There was not much time left for Lao Yang, but he was not in a hurry. He held the slingshot in his left hand and grabbed the stone in the rubber pad with his right hand.

"Crack", hit!

The box was beaten far and wide.

Jiang Yutong was successful in throwing the box and was very involved. He clapped his hands happily and shouted: "The old man is very skilled!"

Lao Yang still didn't answer, not even a hint of complacency, as if this was a pediatrics, not something to be proud of.

Lao Liu, who was sitting next to him blowing the air, resolved the awkward situation for him, and said with a smile: "Lao Yang has practiced this for two years. It's a hobby. He usually practices it when he has nothing to do. He can concentrate!"

Jiang Yutong had a good time, took another box, suddenly remembered Cheng He, turned around and asked, "Hey, can you shoot a slingshot?"

Cheng He just stood aside and waited boredly at first.

However, Lao Yang was able to play so well at such an age, which really impressed him.

When asked now, he smiled and said: "Who in the countryside has never played this!"

Old Liu stood up excitedly, and said, "Oh, young man, why don't you come too? I think it would be boring for Lao Yang to play alone. It's good to practice with him."

He himself didn't have fun with Lao Yang, so he was a little bit sorry.The problem is that he can't!The level is too low, even if he barely plays, Lao Yang will not enjoy playing even more.

Now that he hears that there is a meeting, he hastened to invite him, it is best to meet his opponent, and the battle will be evenly contested for [-] rounds!
Cheng He smiled and waved his hands, and said modestly: "I haven't played for many years."

"It doesn't matter, Lao Yang will let you. Besides, I don't gamble, I just play for fun, what are you afraid of?" Lao Liu strongly encouraged.

Lao Yang had been expressionless all the time, so he stretched out his slingshot and said, "Can I play?"

What he meant: come if you can play, forget it if you can't, why are men so talkative!

Well, people who talk more than him are long-winded.

Jiang Yutong was very excited at this time, pushed Cheng He and said, "Come on, come on, I'll throw the box for you."

Cheng He also came over.

I took the slingshot, got familiar with it, and tried the feel and accuracy.This slingshot is very delicate and elegant, much more exquisite than the ones they made with a tree branch and rubber bands when they were young.

There is also a collimator on this, which is very convenient.

Just as Jiang Yutong picked up a box, he suddenly remembered, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Are you standing still or flying?"

It's obvious that it's easy to fight when you're still, but it's hard to know if you're going to be able to play dynamic when you come up like this.

At that time, if Cheng He misses and loses face, it will be his own fault.So she was a little embarrassed to ask.

Cheng He said loudly: "Throw it away. It's okay."

When I was young, I used to play sparrows that could fly, and that was much faster than a Frisbee.

However, at that time, I was weak, short, and inaccurate. The sparrows were nine out of ten, and I was having a good time at that time. A dozen or so little kids chased a sparrow.

Jiang Yutong had already thrown the box in his hand.

This time she had some experience in throwing and was able to throw even higher.

She hoped that Cheng He could hit it, otherwise, she would be the one to lose face!
