In the snowy season, snowflakes fell from the sky like willow catkins. They scattered in this small village, covering the ground with silver.
" Da da." On the empty ground, a child was running around a wooden stake with Kunai in his hand. The thick snow under his feet melted under his repeated steps. The collision of the wooden clogs with the ground made a series of crisp sounds that echoed throughout the quiet mountain.
The child reached his right hand to his waist, and a handful of black Kunai appeared in his hand.
With the weapon in hand, the child's gaze at the wooden stake in front of him instantly became sharp.
He raised his arm and swung his hand. The black Kunai in his hand shot out as he ran at high speed.
"Boom!" The Kunai was nailed to the wooden stake in front of him, but unfortunately, the Kunai did not hit the bullseye. Instead, it was stabbed five fingers away from the center of the circle.
He raised his arm and swung his hand again…
In the blink of an eye, the child shot out another two Kunai. Dong!" With two muffled sounds, the shot of the bitter grass hit the target, but none of them hit the bullseye. The most accurate shot was two fingers away from the bullseye.
There was no need to say which was harder to throw while standing or running. The reason why Night wanted to run was because the prey would not stand still for you to catch.
Since the wooden stake could not move, he would move himself that night to make up for it. Although moving himself was completely different from moving his prey, this training method was still very effective.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Night was still unwilling to give up and continued to practice. After shooting out ten Kunai, he finally stopped. Then, he slowly walked towards the wooden stake and pulled out the Kunai that was nailed to the target.
It was not that he was tired from training, but that he had no more Kunai in his pocket. He could only take the Kunai off the target before he could continue practicing.
His family's economy was already in a bad state. He didn't dare to ask his family for money to buy these ten sticks. Instead, he used all the pocket money he had saved since he was born to buy them.
Originally, he did not plan to start the bitter training so early. It was important to lay a good foundation for his body first. However, Qianxue was pregnant. If he wanted to persuade his father to let Qianxue give birth, then he had to reduce the burden on his family.
Night had thought of many ways, but in the end, the only thing that could be done was hunting.
This was the Water Country, and it snowed all year round in their village. Due to the lack of food, the fur and flesh of wild animals could be sold at a high price.
Moreover, Ye Shangsheng was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home. Many times, in order to feed himself, he had to go to the mountains to catch some pheasants, rabbits, and even bird eggs. Setting up some simple traps to lure the prey was even easier.
The price of wild animals here was very high because of the weather. It was also because of the weather that there were very few wild animals here, and there were even fewer animals suitable for humans to capture.
Whether the trap could catch the prey or not could only be left to fate. If he wanted to really reduce the burden on his family, he still needed to personally hunt.
For this, it was necessary to learn Kunai and Shuriken.
However, after a month of bitter training, Ye realized that he was still far from it. Now he knew that Kunai training was far more difficult than he had imagined. At least until now, his Kunai Throw could not hit his prey.
In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed. The child in his mother Qianxue's stomach was already six months old. While Ye persisted in his physical training, his bitter training finally yielded results.
Today, he killed a snow rabbit for the first time. He didn't use a trap, but killed it with Kunai. The trap would damage the fur of the snow rabbit, and this snow rabbit was deliberately shot on the rabbit's leg by Night. The fur was intact and could definitely be sold at a high price.
Because of this, he was very happy to return home.
Night's right hand held the dead snow rabbit's ear as he pushed open his door and shouted,""Mommy, I'm back!"
Qianxue walked out of the kitchen with a big belly. When she saw Ye standing at the door with snow on his head, she smiled and said,""Xiao Ye, you're back. Come in quickly. It's cold outside!”
The cold wind outside the door blew into the small room with snowflakes. Ye Jian's mother, Qianxue, shrunk her neck slightly and immediately closed the door.
"Mom, look, this is the rabbit I caught today. Stew it yourself and make it into soup to nourish your body.”
Qianxue smiled lovingly." No, I'll pass this to your father later. Snow rabbit meat is nourishing and delicious, and this one is different from the previous ones. Its fur is so complete. It will definitely sell for a good price.”
"Keep this one. I'll continue hunting. You're about to give birth to a baby, so you can't lose your health.”
"Silly child, it's still early. It's only six months now. Do you want to be an older brother?”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Night nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. In his previous life, he did not have any relatives, so he naturally envied those who had brothers and sisters. Now that he had the chance to be an older brother, he felt extremely happy.
Regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, Ye persisted in training his body. As time passed, his Kunai technique became more and more exquisite.
Although he was not as good as Uchiha Weitake in his youth, Night was still young and had not practiced Kunai for a long time. As long as he had enough time, he believed that he would be able to do it.
Initially, Yishan Shouxing was very opposed to Qianxue having another child, but because of Ye's hard work, Yishan Shouxing no longer had any complaints.
Ye was only a little over five years old, but he could catch some small prey from outside every three to five years. Sometimes it was a snow rabbit, sometimes it was a snow rat. The prey he hunted was deducted for his mother Qianxue to nourish her body. When he sold it, it became a considerable income for the family.
In this small village where it often snowed, it would be extremely enjoyable to have a pot of hot and fragrant rabbit and rat meat. Even if the price was a little higher, many people would still fight to buy it.
Therefore, the night hunt temporarily eased the financial burden on the family, so that his father would not object to Qianxue having another child.
