"Brother, are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Seeing that blood in He Ze's palm was red, He An looked panicked, and his eyes turned around for a few times before he stood up. "Brother, you wait, wait, I'll get you medicine."

Because Mr. He also does this kind of work, it is common to file injuries. The He family prepares this type of injury medicine all year round.

After He An finished speaking, he didn't wait for He Ze to answer, and turned around and ran into the room.

Blood dripped on the reddish-brown wooden bow on He Ze's knees. The two colors mixed together and they could not tell at once. He Ze held the wound and let the blood fall down. His eyes looked ahead with nothing, as if he was conscious.

"Brother! Do you like Brother Lin?"

Do you...like...Lin...Lin Yu?!

How is this possible?

He An's words just now kept echoing in He Ze's ears, and his whole body tensed up.

"Brother, why are you stunned?"

I don’t know how long it took, but He An took a medicine bottle and came out of the kitchen with a basin of water. Seeing that He Ze still had a stagnant expression, he couldn’t help but shake his arms in front of him.

The latter finally came to his senses.

"Wash the wound, I'll give you medicine," He An carefully untied the cotton cloth wrapped in He Ze's palm, and wiped it with a wet cloth. "Brother, I'm just a joke. Why are you so responsive?"

"...You guys ask what you do when you are in every family!"

"I'm already sixteen!" He An glared at He Ze in anger, then pursed his lips, "But brother, do you... really don't like Brother Lin?"

“…”

"I'm jealous when you've made this bow all day these days!"

After applying medicine, he wrapped the newly replaced cotton cloth around He Ze's palm. He An pulled a cloth rope and tied a knot heavily.

"Where are you jealous?" He Ze shook off the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, and left his gaze calmly, "Last time I went up the mountain to hunt bears, your brother Lin broke his bow to save me. I will just give him one more. Besides, isn't this a gift prepared for you?"

"Ha, hehe—" He An smiled and said, "The gift I gave me was two packs of delicious snacks. I made my own gift for Brother Lin myself. I didn't sleep at night. I used to be dizzy when I saw blood. Now I'm like a person who is fine. I will start over with a little flaw. If the wood you wasted, my father's shoehorn would have been pulled into your face!"

“…”

"I like to run to Brother Lin's house if I'm fine!"

“…”

"From the time you wake up, you will be with Brother Lin if you are not at home!"

“…”

"Last time Brother Lin sprained his ankle, you ran three times a day. Before, you didn't even come back to see me!"

“…”

"The most important thing is..."

He An paused word by word, and He Ze turned to look at him.

"Brother Lin is so beautiful, why don't you like him!"

"………Xiao An, you are sixteen, aren't you?" He Ze was silent for a long time, and suddenly turned his head.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"It's sixteenth, Xiao An has grown up. Brother Ah, letting Emu have a good look for you tomorrow. Your dowry... Brother Ah, help you prepare."

"You, you are--" He An stared at He Ze for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he pulled his clothes and ran away a few steps, "Hmph, Ignore you!"

Seeing He An's angry look, He Ze unconsciously bent the corner of his mouth, and the next second he looked on the wooden bow, and his smile calmed down again.

His eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, He Ze silently picked up the file on the ground and started carving it on the arrow. The carving was not completed until late at night.

The next day he took the bow to the town. Due to the material, the bow did not need to be painted. He Ze only installed the best deer tendons to make strings, chose three arrows and a bow box, and then returned home.

"Hey, for you."

He Ze handed the square box to He An's hand, and the latter opened it with a slap, showing a look of surprise on his face. The next second he glared at He Ze fiercely, "I know you are biased!"

“…”

"...Next year...Next year's birthday, I will do whatever you want, can you do it?"

"This is almost the same! Don't worry, I'll send it to Brother Lin tomorrow and say I did it, he will be very happy."

He An put the square box on the table, and couldn't let it go and touched the fine lines at the tail of the arrow. Then he closed the box with a snap, raised his eyebrows and smiled at He Ze.

He Ze's expression cracked for a moment, and then he turned around and headed towards the door, "Sure, you do what you do! Is this a complete set?"

"Like--" He An stuck out his tongue at his back.

...

On the 11th day, as soon as He An finished breakfast, he took the box and went to Lin Yu's house while He Youcai and Li were not paying attention. Before leaving, he showed a big smile to He Ze.

After this matter, He An had just left the yard. The next second, He Ze also sued Li and headed towards the piece of white angelica at the foot of the western mountain.

As time goes by, it is almost time for Bai Zhi to grow seedlings.

It’s just that whether He Ze went to see Bai Zhi or Jingxin is unknown.

And He An's side.

I said before that Lin Yu's family is located at the southernmost location of Hejia Village, and at the foot of the mountain in the south, and after a few more steps, it is another family's field. Not to mention the place, perhaps because the farming and food in the fields have been collected, the outside of the wall of Lin Yu's family is quiet.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and Lin Yu was sitting next to the table in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a broken bow on it.

"Xiao An, why are you here?"

Lin Yu stood up as soon as he saw He An and then closed the yard gate.

"I... am entrusted!" He An bit the corner of his lips, glanced across the table, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Are someone entrusted?"

Lin Yu was puzzled, so he led He An to sit down at the table and poured him another cup of tea.

"Well, Brother Lin, today I'm here to give you a birthday gift." He An handed over the large rectangular box tightly wrapped around his arms, staring at Lin Yu, "You must like it!"

"...You remember that I'm very happy about this day. I didn't have time to prepare for you this year. Why are you..."

Last year, he saw that Xiao An likes fox hats very much, and this year he planned to hunt him a fox. Finally, he made another simple bow, but he couldn't find the fox and was stranded for a while.

"It's okay, Brother Lin, open it and take a look?"

For some reason, Lin Yu felt that He An's eyes were particularly bright today, and his smile felt like he was...indescribable.

He looked at He An, gently lifted the lid of the square box, and then widened his eyes the next second, "This is..."

"This is a bow, made of iron wood! The bow string is deer tendon, the arrow body is birch, solid and light, the arrow tail is the tail feather of the red-mouthed blue magpies, Brother Lin, do you think it is particularly beautiful!"

Lin Yu didn't pay attention to what He An was saying. He focused his whole heart on the bow and arrow in front of him. He couldn't help but pick up the bow, pulling the strings to the distance.

As the bowstring became more and more full, the excitement on his face became stronger and stronger. He had used the bow and arrow for so many years, but no bow could fully carry his power. It was the one he had used for many years before, and he had to carefully control his strength every time he shot an arrow.

But it did this in front of you!

The length is exactly the same as the one he used before, but the quality of the material is different.

"Bang--"

The bowstring was full, and Lin Yu suddenly let go of his hand. A bang sounded, and the air in that place seemed to tremble.

"Brother Lin, I just said you like it, right?" Seeing Lin Yu's uncontrollable excitement, He An held his cheek with one hand and smiled with a tits on his face.

"Yeah, I like..."

Lin Yu finally came to his senses, nodded and responded, and carefully stroked the arrow body. Only then did he realize that the simple auspicious cloud pattern at the tail of the arrow body was... it was too ugly, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Just like it. If you like it, the task of like it will be completed successfully." He An suddenly stood up, "Brother Lin, happy birthday, I have to leave first!"

"Hey! Wait!" Lin Yu immediately stood up when he saw him get up, and then reluctantly put the bow back into the box and handed it to He An, "Take it back, this thing is too expensive."

"No!" He An's head was shaking like a rattle, "This was done by Brother Lao for half a month. When he came, he told me that I must hand it to you. First, I will give you a bow, and second, it is a birthday gift for you, so... Brother Lin, if you don't accept it, my brother will definitely die of evil when I go home!"

"You... did your brother?"

"Of course, he ran to many blacksmith shops. He couldn't find a bow suitable for you, so he went up the mountain and cut trees. In order to get a hurry, he injured his hand!" He An said with some pain, and then added, "By the way, this brother won't let me tell you, Brother Lin, remember to keep it secret for me!"

"Ah? Injured? His injury...is it okay?" Lin Yu's tone became anxious in an instant.

"It's okay, as long as you accept this gift, he will be fine!"

He An showed off his big white teeth and resigned to Lin Yu, then he walked away. Lin Yu held the box and took him to the door. He stood for a long time before turning around. As soon as he raised his eyes, he unconsciously said, "Em? You..."

Zhang had already stood by the table at some point, and Lin Yu turned to his gaze.

The box in his arms seemed to be getting hot, and Lin Yu hugged him tighter.

"The He family boy sent it here?"

"Yes," Lin Yu nodded blankly, then shook his head again, "No, it was sent by Xiao An."

"Isn't that sent by the He family boy?" Zhang couldn't help but chuckled when he saw Lin Yu's appearance, and then he said, "Em has heard it, that child... is intent."
