Chapter 416 Hunting
Everyone led a large number of warriors, and no one dared to take the lead all the way. They went straight out of the north gate and galloped to the barren mountains on the outskirts of the city.
He chased behind the three people on foot, and the other man was at the same speed as him, holding a "leaf" flag in his hand, followed by a team of warriors with swords closely.
This man and horse deviated from the road and quickly entered the sparsely populated mountain forest area. The mountains stretch together, and the beasts chirped in the depths of the jungle. Fortunately, the terrain is relatively slow and the distance between the trees is large. Horses can still run in the woods and have a wide field of vision.
I met several small beasts on the way and were soon shocked by the sound.
Overturning a small hillside, Ye Yingru called Qin Yan, and the three of them pulled the reins and looked high. The leaves below are green, which are more bright in the sun. The chirping insects are fluctuating everywhere, and the green leaves at the branches are blown by the wind like waves. The scenery is good. However, there are still higher peaks in the distance, and a blue belt extends in the depths of the blue forest, turning around the other side of the mountain.
"It is said that there is a trapped dragon cave on the other side of the mountain, in which there are monsters. Yulang, let's go there and have a look!" Ye Yingru raised his whip and pointed to the mountains in the distance, turned his face and said to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan hasn't answered yet, and Li Gao behind has shouted in fear: "Miss! It is so few people that it is too far away from Yefu that there may be an accident. How can Miss Wanjin's body be dangerous..."
Ye Yingru snorted: "If you have been hiding in a safe corner, how can you see the scenery on the top of the mountain? Li Gao, don't talk any more!"
"But..." Li Gao looked at Yu Bo for help. Yu Bo had a very high reputation in the Ye family, and his words had enough weight.
Unexpectedly, Yubo waved his hand with a smile and actually agreed with Ye Yingru's idea: "If you want to grow into an eagle, you must learn to fly in the wind and rain. Xiao Li, even if we are worried about Miss's injury, we have to give her such a chance, don't we?"
Ye Yingru smiled gently: "It's still Yubo who knows me." She raised her right hand and called, "Bow the bow and arrow."
The servants sent bows and arrows, and Qin Yan also got a bow and a pot of arrows. Ye Yingru personally tied an arrow pot for him and said, "The road from the downhill to the trapped Dragon Cave is today's hunting journey. Yulang, Mr. Fang, Miss Xin, let's have a try and see who is the winner today!"
Qin Yan hurriedly said, "I have never used bows and arrows, so I won't participate."
The Xinxian next to him bent down and turned his head to Qin Yan and smiled, "Uncle, if you want to be a hypocrite, at least you have to learn all the six arts!" You will know that it is very bad from your appearance! You should try the bow string first and aim at some still life to practice the feel... hee hee! When you have some feel, a pot of arrows is almost enough!"
Ye Yingru smiled and said, "Yulang, it depends on your demeanor today!"
"Brother Han, we have gained more than anyone else!"
"Hey! I said I wouldn't..."
The hunting team continued to move forward and penetrated into the woods below. This downhill is a little steep, and the horse has to pay more attention, and the speed is much slower. From time to time, there are birds jumping between the branches and leaves, and there are small beasts running behind the grass. The temperature at which sunlight shines through the leaf layer is suitable. The wind in the forest is light, and the sound of birds is short.
When jumping down the slope, Fang Qiuyao suddenly opened his bow and arrow, and the arrow penetrated into the layers of forest leaves like a meteor, responding to the sound of a dull sharp weapon into the flesh. Two warriors in charge of picking up their prey ran over and brought back a dying wild boar.
Qin Yan saw his demeanor and couldn't help but be eager to try. At this time, he sensed the breath of life in the grass and also opened his bow and arrow. He was absorbed in the green grass pile dozens of steps away. As the white horse walked slowly, the tip of the arrow always aimed at one of them. The breeze blew, and the tip of the grass leaned softly. The creature hidden in the grass seemed to feel uneasy and turned into a dark shadow and jumped back. The abnormal swing in the grass was caught by Qin Yan's eyes in an instant. At that time, as soon as the dark shadow showed its head, an arrow shot away like electricity - wiping the shadow's body into the depths of the grass and made a muffled sound. The gray rabbit who escaped to death disappeared into the distance of the forest.
Qin Yan touched his nose awkwardly and turned his face to look aside. Ye Yingru and Xin Xian both shook their heads with a smile on their faces, and the guards booed slightly. This seemingly arrogant guy turned out to be just a false appearance!
"Tut! It's just a little bit!"
"Uncle, if you can't shoot, you should have said it earlier. You should have made Qiu Yao ready to make up for it!"
"Brother Han almost hit the first shot, and he was already very powerful..."
"Uncle, your skills are so bad, you'd better practice your feel with still life first. Have you seen that big tree? It's the one in front of you. It's so big. If you get closer, you should be able to shoot it, right?
Qin Yan waved his hand, rejected the obviously insulting suggestion of Xinxian, and turned his face to continue to search for prey around him.
The three horses walked side by side, and Qin Yan was caught in the middle, which actually meant that his hunting range was reduced by half. However, whenever he is a little ahead, Ye Yingru and Xinxian will consciously catch up and always maintain a level position. Qin Yan was a little helpless, and he didn't find a convenient target until he walked down the hillside.
But Fang Qiuyao, who fell a little behind, opened his bow repeatedly and gained a lot.
Xin Xian also suggested that Qin Yan poke the tree with an arrow to increase the feel. This absurd opinion was rejected by him again.
Next, there will be more wild animals where there is water. Qin Yan found three more opportunities in succession, but he didn't grasp the angle of the angle after the arrow was shot out, and still got nothing. The most annoying thing was that a fox was shot in the hind leg and ran into the water with an arrow. This made Xinxian laugh for a long time.
The boos of the guards became louder and louder, and even Qin Yan, who boasted to be thick-skinned, began to turn red. He put down his bow and arrow and silently observed Fang Qiuyao's shooting posture. After a long time, he opened his bow again.
The fifth arrow aimed at a deer. Qin Yan held his breath and saw the opportunity for the deer to lick the leaves, and then resolutely released the arrow.
The arrow broke away from the string with a sharp sound of breaking the air. Qin Yan's heart was relieved, and he could already predict the trajectory of the arrow penetrating the neck of the flower deer. However, at this time, his mind suddenly fell into a trance, and he seemed to see a little girl in green clothes running out from behind the tree and standing in front of the deer.
Qin Yan was only stunned, and then found that the girl's figure was a little like Yue Ling. When the sharp arrow came, she was still unconscious and reached out to touch the deer.
"Linger!" On the line of life and death, Qin Yan couldn't hesitate. He jumped up from the horse's back as soon as he pedaled his legs and broke into the wind, faster than the arrow leaving the string. In the blink of an eye, he could grab the arrow he shot before the deer.
However, he reached halfway through his hand and touched the arrow tail carving, and was stunned to see that there was only one frightened deer left in front of him. There was no such thing as a little girl.
Damn it, damn it!
He blinked and was stunned for a moment. The arrow had come out of his hand and penetrated into the neck of the deer. The deer screamed and fell down.
The scene was silent.
Xinxian was originally yawning, but it froze halfway.
After being stunned, Ye Yingru blinked at Qin Yan confusedly. Fang Qiuyao also looked helpless. They all seemed to be saying: Brother Han, it seems that it's not good for you to cheat in this way...
Qin Yan looked back and asked, "Did you see a little girl running over?"
No one answered. After a while, Xinxian said crisply, "Uncle, are you dreaming? Don't think about little girls all day long!"
Fang Qiuyao and Ye Yingru both showed strange expressions, as if to say: Oh, my God, it turns out that you are so good...
Qin Yan saw the strong doubt and indignation in Ye Yingru's eyes and hurriedly laughed: "misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
......
The hunting continued, and Qin Yan took the sixth arrow.
The target is a striped wild boar diagonally opposite the stream. Oily body, messy mane, and a pair of small eyes. The wild boar was drinking water and seemed to feel something wrong. He raised his head to listen to the sound in the air and suddenly turned around and ran away. Wheops!" A sharp arrow broke through the air and nailed it into its hind legs. The powerful impact knocked it to the ground and hissed sadly.
However, it stood up again and limped away. Another arrow came in an instant and penetrated its belly, completely depriving it of its vitality.
There was finally no boo this time.
"Great! Yulang, you learn so fast!" Ye Yingru happily praised.
Xinxian contemptuously said, "Brother Qiu Yao shot two arrows, and uncle shot one arrows. The gap is really a little far!"
