Chapter 66. Confession
"This is what I took out from there." Hua Jin raised the small crossbow in her hand.
Then, under the gaze of grandpa and daddy, the crossbow disappeared in her hand and reappeared again.
After that, Hua Jin didn’t say anything, giving her grandpa and daddy some time to digest what she had said.
Such a strange event was expected to take them a while to process, but surprisingly, in just a moment, the two accepted it well, taking the crossbow from her hand to examine it carefully.
Hua Jin: "..."
But considering that ancients were always superstitious, Hua Jin seemed to understand, wasn’t this also her original intention?
Hua Chengtian, the old man, wasn’t completely without knowledge. The Ancient Yan Country has only been peaceful in recent years; wars used to happen from time to time.
Wars need weapons. Although they hadn’t seen them firsthand, it doesn’t mean they hadn’t heard about them. The village had veterans who had survived and returned from the battlefield.
These veterans were either injured or disabled, unable to do heavy work due to illnesses, and liked to sit under the old tree at the village entrance talking about war experiences. As a child, Hua Chengtian had heard them describe it, but unfortunately, by the time he grew up, these old men were no longer there.
The father and son looked again and again, increasingly feeling this weapon resembled a heavy crossbow used in battles. Although there were many differences, the precision was unbelievable, yet too similar to what the old men had described.
