Chapter 563 Hunting
Eat some to enjoy yourself, leave some for Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji to come back to eat, and put the rest into a jar and seal it for storage so that you can eat it at any time in the future .
After finishing all this work, Xia Mingyue couldn't help but look up into the distance while eating the delicious yellow peach with relish.
I don’t know if Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji hunted rabbits at this time. She has already prepared various seasonings for braised rabbits in the evening!
Here, Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji, who were talked about, were in the orchard. Following the guidance of Guo Kanglai and others, they came to a place where rabbits frequently appeared.
Carrying a quiver on his back and holding a long bow, he bent down to observe, holding his breath and concentrating, for fear of missing any chance of spotting a rabbit.
After careful observation by the two people, traces of the rabbit were discovered.
It should be rabbits from the same nest. There are four or five rabbits gathered together. They are eating weeds on the ground. They are eating with relish, but at the same time they are very alert. From time to time, they stand upright and look around. Fan.
In order to avoid disturbing the situation, Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji did not dare to step forward. They only held the bow in their left hand, and with their right hand they took out the arrows from the quiver on their backs and placed them on the bow.
Aim at one of the rabbits, draw the bow as hard as you can, watch the timing, and release it quickly.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The two arrows pierced the air, but they all flew towards the same rabbit. Almost instantly, they stabbed straight. Toward the rabbit, then through its abdomen and nailed to the ground.
Fan Jinglan, “…”
Xia Yunji, “…”
Both of them were very confident in their archery skills. Once the arrow was shot, it would never come back empty-handed. But at this time, the two of them shot the same rabbit to death, which was beyond their expectations.
The two people felt a little embarrassed, but immediately became serious again, quickly took arrows and bows, and shot down other rabbits that were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The two arrows were sent out again, but this time, by coincidence, they hit the same target again. Rabbit.
The two people frowned and crossed their bows again.
But this time, the two people were obviously targeting the same rabbit again!
In order to avoid the embarrassment of shooting the same rabbit again, the two men slightly changed their directions and then released the bowstring.
But in this way, the two men did not shoot the same rabbit again. However, due to a mistake in judgment, they missed the target. The arrow hit the fruit tree, causing the fruit tree to make a "squeaking" sound. Two almost ripe pears fell down.
Fan Jinglan, “…”
Xia Yunji, "..."
"It seems that we have to hunt separately." Xia Yunji couldn't help but touched his nose.
"Indeed." Fan Jinglan nodded, "Then you go east and I go west. We will meet here in an hour and see who hunts more rabbits."
"Okay!" Xia Yunji immediately agreed and threw one of the two feathered arrows he pulled out from the trunk of the pear tree to Fan Jinglan, and then followed Fan Jinglan's instructions and headed west with the quiver on his back.
Ying'er wanted to follow Fan Jinglan east, but was stopped by Fan Jinglan, "If you follow me, I'm afraid it will easily disturb the rabbit. If I can't defeat Xia Yunji, I will be very embarrassed. Why don't you stay here? Count the numbers for us later.”
Although I am a little worried, considering that this is an orchard, there are usually people taking care of it, and there will be no ferocious wild beasts nearby. My young lady has great kung fu, so there should be nothing wrong with it. She also hopes that her young lady can come out on top, so Ying'er thinks about it. For a moment, he agreed and just stayed where he was.
Waiting in vain, Ying'er gathered together the Yali that she had just dropped and the two rabbits that Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji had hunted. The pear was nothing. Although it hit some hard little clods on the ground when it fell, the skin was slightly broken and some juice leaked, but it still looked emerald green and very attractive.
And those two rabbits...
Both of them were shot through by arrows, and there were two arrows. Their bodies were dripping with blood, which was unbearable to look at.
Ying'er really couldn't stand it, so she turned away and tried not to look, but sitting here was very boring, and she could still see it when her eyes were circling back and forth.
Tsk, this rabbit is so pitiful...
I just don’t know what kind of delicious rabbits Madam Xia will make if these rabbits are taken back.
If possible, she would like to eat something slightly spicy, but the spicy one is acceptable, and if it is braised, it can barely be eaten...
Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji have no need to eat it since they separated. Worrying about hitting the prey they were looking for, they all felt much more relaxed and focused on looking for hares.
It was early autumn and it was a sunny day. Rabbits were active and went out to look for food. Their traces were quickly discovered.
Taking a bow and shooting arrows, the arrows were all fired...
One after another, the rabbits were shot and fell to the ground, and they soon gained a lot.
Fan Jinglan looked at so many rabbits piled together like a small hill, and felt full of accomplishment. She only tied the rabbits together with the rope she carried and carried them back.
When she returned to the previously agreed place, it happened that Xia Yunji came back with a bunch of rabbits tied up just like her.
Both of them threw the rabbits on the ground and then counted the number of rabbits on the spot.
“One, two, three...”
“Eight, nine, ten, eleven!”
“I hunted ten. A rabbit!”
Fan Jinglan and Xia Yunji shouted in unison. When they realized that what they said was exactly the same, they were startled at first, and then started to giggle.
Yesterday, there was no difference in boxing skills. Today, in the rabbit hunting competition, the numbers were exactly the same. It was a perfect coincidence.
"What a coincidence." Xia Yunji couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes." Fan Jinglan also smiled and narrowed her eyes, "What a coincidence, it means that the two of us are destined."
Destined?
Xia Yunji was startled for a moment. When he looked up and saw Fan Jinglan's calm eyes, he breathed out, "Yes, it's destined."
Madam Fan was on good terms with his sister, and he was a subordinate of Madam Fan's brother. Such a relationship, among the vast sea of people, was destined, right?
Xia Yunji smiled brightly, much brighter than the daylight at that time. Fan Jinglan looked at it for a moment, then moved her eyes away and looked at the pile of rabbits on the ground, "We have gained a lot today. I will definitely go back in the evening." It’s a feast for the eyes, but now I have to find a way to take them back.”
This is on the edge of the orchard, quite far from the orchard houses, so carrying so many rabbits back is also a problem.
The rope binding method just now is a bit crude. It is okay to walk a short distance. There will definitely be rabbits slipping on the way to the house. I am afraid that I will be busy picking up rabbits along the way.
"I'll call someone over." Ying'er volunteered.
