Chapter 748: Reluctance

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong’s eyes flashed with joy. She said to Shao Qingyuan, “Wait for me there first. I’ll be back soon.”

Shao Qingyuan wanted to say that he could accompany her to buy it, but Gu Yundong had already run out.

However, someone asked him to make way from behind, so Shao Qingyuan could only lead the carriage to the side.

But when he looked up again, Gu Yundong was nowhere to be seen.

The kite stall was still there, but Gu Yundong was not there.

Didn’t she go to buy a kite? Where did she go?

At this moment, Gu Yundong was already standing in the shop behind the kite stall.

This was a shop that sold bows and arrows. Other than bows and arrows, it also sold some materials for bows and arrows.

The business looked ordinary, but the shopkeeper sat happily at the door drinking tea and basking in the sun. He did not seem to care much.

When he saw Gu Yundong enter, he slowly stood up and asked with a smile, “Miss, do you want to buy a bow or a custom-made bow?”

“How long does it take to customize a bow?”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “That depends on what you need. An ordinary one can be obtained in ten days to half a month. If you want top-notch materials, it might take half a year to a year.”

“That long?” Gu Yundong frowned. Wasn’t this too long?

After some thought, she asked, “Then how much are the best bows and arrows sold here?”

“What are you buying the bow and arrow for? Do you learn to use it at home, or do your brothers use it to practice archery, or do you go hunting in the mountains?”

In this day and age, there were different types of bows and arrows. In terms of arrows alone, they were determined by the different uses such as combat, field hunting, school review, signals, and so on.

Arrows used for combat were not allowed among the commoners. If they were discovered, they would be captured and executed.

As for bows, there were also simple and complicated ones. The price was differentiated by the size and material of the bow.

If a girl like Gu Yundong needed it, the bow would most likely have some accessories to make it look good.

Gu Yundong listened to the shopkeeper’s introduction and was a little curious. So there was such a big difference in bows and arrows?

However, the bow and arrows she wanted to buy were mainly used for field hunting. She simply wanted it to be durable.

The shopkeeper seemed to be in a good mood and took out a few types for her to see.

Gu Yundong took them one by one and tried them out.

‘Hmm… how should I put it? They don’t seem to have much feelings.’

Although she did not use a bow and arrow, she had a crossbow. Once she picked up this crossbow, the blood in her body would faintly become excited.

But the bow in front of her did not make her feel so.

The shopkeeper saw her serious expression and laughed. “Miss, are you not satisfied with these few?”

“Anything else?” Gu Yundong put down the last bow and asked.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, “There’s one more.”

He went to the storeroom at the back and carefully moved one out.

Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up at the first glance.

When she took it and tried it, she nodded hurriedly. “I want this.”

The shopkeeper clicked his tongue. “I can’t even bear to sell this bow. You sure know how to choose.”

“Then are you selling it?” If you can’t bear to part with it, why are you still taking it out? Who are you lying to?

The shopkeeper snorted. “I’ll sell it for twelve taels of silver.”

Gu Yundong gave him a banknote without hesitation. The shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy. “Alright, go ahead and pick the arrows. Eighty copper coins for an arrow. At least twenty arrows. Since you didn’t bargain, I’ll give you five for free.”
