Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

The indescribable sounds finally stopped, and the woods returned to silence.

Lu Fengnian put on his jacket, the two buttons of which had been torn off his chest, and looked at Qiu Qingbai.

Qiu Qingbai was already dressed, her dark, pretty face flushed, and she was somewhat afraid to look Lu Fengnian in the eye.

"Lu Fengnian, you can't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, I'll beat you up again."

Qiu Qingbai lowered her head slightly, her voice clearly tinged with shyness.

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Why? Why did you do this?" Lu Fengnian asked in a deep voice.

This whole thing is so bizarre, and besides, Qiu Qingbai isn't some easy woman.

Just now, he saw Luo Hong; she was clearly still a virgin.

"Don't ask. This matter ends here. Let's pretend nothing happened." Qiu Qingbai didn't turn around, her voice cold.

Lu Fengnian raised his voice slightly, "If you don't tell, I'll tell the whole village about this later."

Qiu Qingbai paused for a moment, then turned around. Her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, but she had a smile on her face. "My father sold me. Tomorrow, I'm going to the county to become a concubine for a rich family. Then I can wear nice clothes and eat meat every day."

Lu Fengnian was stunned, his lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Qiu Qingbai's smile deepened. "Lu Fengnian, I know you look down on me. You only have eyes for that Li Xiaorou."

But I cherish you so much that I have no regrets if I can give you my virginity before I leave.

…………

Goodbye. Let's treat today's events as a dream. Forget about it, and forget about me too.

After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran towards the edge of the woods.

Lu Fengnian snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked, "Which household in the county are you going to?"

However, Qiu Qingbai had already gone far away and disappeared.

…………

Lu Fengnian stood there, stunned, his feelings a jumble of emotions.

Qiu Qingbai is bold in love and hate, a quality that is rare in this day and age.

Unfortunately, in this chaotic world, she was treated as a commodity.

I don't know if it was because of a relationship, or perhaps the woman gave me her most precious thing.

Lu Fengnian felt a pang of pity and a touch of concern.

Lu Xiaoyu is going to marry Wang the Cripple, and Qiu Qingbai is going to be sold to the county. All of this is because of poverty.

To prevent Lu Xiaoyu from marrying Wang the Cripple, and to have a chance to help Qiu Qingbai in the future, one must first become rich.

What are we waiting for? Shoot the arrows!

Lu Fengnian picked up his bow and arrows, ignoring his exhaustion, and continued shooting arrows right where he had been tenderly cuddling with Qiu Qingbai.

…………

One arrow, two arrows, three arrows...

If your arms get sore, take a break, and once you're rested, continue shooting.

I don't know how much time passed, until I was completely exhausted, I finally finished shooting one hundred arrows.

Lu Fengnian quickly focused his thoughts, and saw on the blue panel:

Archery: Level 1

Proficiency: 1/1000

Number of learnable skills: 0

At the same time, he suddenly felt a warm current surge up in his lower abdomen, spreading rapidly throughout his body.

The warm current felt tingly and itchy wherever it passed, which was very comfortable.

Moreover, after this warm current flowed through my hands, the soreness in my muscles was instantly swept away.

The warm current washed over my body for a full incense stick's time before stopping and dissipating.

Lu Fengnian swung his arms and was pleasantly surprised to find that his physique had significantly improved, and his strength was at least ten times greater than before. He was no longer as weak as he used to be.

Improving archery skills can actually improve one's physical fitness.

Just then, he felt a violent wave of nausea and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he vomited on the spot.

However, what came out was not the porridge he ate in the morning, but a pool of black, viscous substance that emitted a foul stench.

One whiff of it and you'll feel dizzy.

But after spitting out the filth, Lu Fengnian felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

What surprised and delighted him even more was that he could clearly perceive that his vision, hearing, smell, and so on had been greatly enhanced.

At that moment, he listened intently and could even hear the sound of insects slowly crawling in the grass.

After his archery skills improved, it not only transformed his physique but also his sensory perception.

…...……

The vomit was so foul that Lu Fengnian moved to another spot and carved a circle half a foot in diameter on an old tree to use as a target.

He retreated about ten feet, took a deep breath, nocked an arrow, and pulled it back with all his might.

In an instant, the bow opened like a full moon.

Not long ago, he used all his strength but could only slightly pull the bow apart.

But at this moment, he could easily draw the bow fully.

A complete transformation!

Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your pupils, arrowheads, and bullseye in a straight line.

A crisp snap.

The bowstring slipped from his fingertips.

The bamboo arrow cuts through the wind, swift as a shooting star.

With a soft thud, it struck the old tree hard, hitting the bullseye.

Lu Fengnian's lips curled up. With archery skills like this, even the old hunters in Mao'er Village would have to admit defeat.

He has achieved a minor level of skill in archery.

Lu Fengnian was quite impatient, so he immediately grabbed his bow and arrows and began searching around in the woods.

Unfortunately, not even a sparrow or a mouse was seen.

Widow Tian was right. In the current situation, if we want to hunt, we have to cross the Blackwater Ridge and go deep into the mountains.

It's almost noon now, and it's too late to go to Heishui Ridge. We'll have to wait until tomorrow and make some preparations.

More importantly, although physical strength improved, the problem of hunger could not be solved.

All that commotion in the woods has completely used up the energy from the little bit of porridge I drank this morning.

So he put away his bow and arrows and headed home.

…………

"Big brother, you're back!"

Lu Xiaoyu was picking wild vegetables in the yard when she saw Lu Fengnian return and exclaimed with joy.

But when he saw the bow and arrow on Lu Fengnian's body, he was immediately stunned.

Liu Yunjuan had been worried about her son for a long time. Hearing her daughter's voice, she quickly came out of the house. Seeing Lu Fengnian's appearance, she was clearly stunned and asked urgently:

"My son, what's wrong with you? Where's your robe? And where did this bow and arrow come from?"

Lu Fengnian smiled broadly, "Mother, I traded my robe for a bow with Sister Tian. Tomorrow, I'll go hunting in the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu were dumbfounded.

"Son, what are you doing? Aren't you going to study? Aren't you going to take the imperial examination?"

Liu Yunjuan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Are you kidding me? You've never done any heavy work since you were a child, you've never even touched a bow and arrow, how are you going to go hunting?"

Lu Xiaoyu added, "Brother, hunting is no joke. Even the old hunters in the village often come back empty-handed. How can you possibly succeed?"

We'll have money at the beginning of next month, so you don't need to take any risks.

Besides, you've taken the imperial examination for the lowest degree for five years already. Let's grit our teeth and try again next year. Who knows, we might pass next year.

Lu Fengnian shook his head. "Mother, Xiaoyu, I've realized that in this world, it's better to be a pawn than to read a hundred books. The smoke of war obscures the sun and moon, and pen and ink are inferior to carved bows."

I will use this bow in my hand to give you a life that everyone envies.

Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu were both stunned. They had never been to school and could not understand Lu Fengnian's poems, but they could feel the confidence and boldness that Lu Fengnian was showing.

Slightly regaining her senses, Liu Yunjuan quickly stepped forward. "Son, don't talk nonsense. You can't even draw a bow, how can you hunt?"

Lu Fengnian held a bow in his hand, took out a bamboo arrow, and smiled slightly, "Mother, Xiaoyu, your understanding of me may be somewhat one-sided."

At this point, he pointed to a pile of dry firewood in the corner of the wall in the distance, "I'm going to shoot, the thirteenth piece of dry firewood from the left."
