He Fengmian led Shulan through the mountains and forests.

He kept a close eye on the woman beside him, afraid that she might be bitten by some poisonous insect or snake.

Suddenly, he gently gestured, "Don't move."

Shulan quickly stopped and followed his gaze, only to find a pheasant foraging for food there. She immediately became excited.

He raised the crossbow in his hand and looked expectantly at the bearded man.

He Fengmian gently instructed: "Aim at the prey... Raise your arm a little higher, but don't use so much force, and don't shrug your shoulders."

Shu Lanyi did as instructed, but found that even with her hands supporting her, her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Even though her hand didn't shake when she pricked people with silver needles.

He Fengmian watched her stealthy movements and said, "Don't stiffen your wrists and arms. Relax and use the strength of your shoulders and back."

Shulan studied diligently, but her mind was her mind and her body were separate, which she felt was much more difficult than getting acupuncture.

Suddenly, her shoulder was gently pressed, and a deep voice, tinged with a hint of helplessness, said, "Relax here."

The sound caught her off guard, and she suddenly felt a tingling sensation that spread from her ears to her whole body. She instinctively trembled, her hand loosened, and the arrow in the crossbow flew out.

The arrow whistled and shot straight into the grass next to the pheasant, startling it so it quickly flapped its wings and ran away, clucking.

He Fengmian: "..."

Shulan: "..."

It seems he lacks talent.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, my technique is a bit poor."

He Fengmian nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Shulan: "..."

Is he really that straight?

The two people lying in ambush in the distance also went from staring intently to being incredulous.

She thought to herself, "Is their general really that bad at sweet talk?"

Being his subordinate is really frustrating.

However, the general leaning against his wife like this really makes them look good together.

Then they saw their general looking in their direction, and they were so frightened that they immediately shrank back.

Wow, that's terrifying.

He Fengmian ignored the two idiots, took the arrow back, and said, "Again."

"Oh." Shulan raised the crossbow in her hand again and saw a rabbit coming from not far away, as if someone was chasing it, towards their direction.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Rabbit, rabbit!"

Just as I was thinking about what to do, I saw a hand reach out.

He Fengmian grasped her hand with one hand, and then the arrow in his hand flew out once again.

This time, the arrow struck the rapidly running rabbit squarely, causing it to fall to the ground, twitch twice, and then remain still.

Shu Lan's eyes widened. Although He Fengmian's hand left instantly, she could still feel the calluses on his fingertips, rough and hot, and she was slightly stunned.

But he quickly realized what was happening, looked at the rabbit on the ground, and exclaimed happily, "I hit it!"

He Fengmian asked, "Have you found that feeling?"

Shulan thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "No, that was too fast."

He Fengmian frowned and said, "My reaction was a bit slow because you were a little slow."

Shulan: "..."

The two people in the shadows: "..."

What kind of good person would talk like that?

They were just doing fine, they were even hugging, how could you say such a thing?

What a waste that they went through so much trouble to find a rabbit!

Liu Moyang and Meng Shaoyuan, who were hiding in the shadows, were shocked to see the general utter such chilling words from his already cold mouth. They felt a kind of anxious urgency, like an emperor who wasn't worried but a eunuch who was.

He's so clueless about romance, he's practically a block of wood.

Then General Kuchiki picked up the rabbit from the ground and, together with Doctor Shu, began searching for prey.

Fortunately, Liu Moyang and Meng Shaoyuan, these two great helpers, created opportunities when none existed, secretly catching pheasants and rabbits and bringing them towards them.

General He taught him several more times, and sighed inwardly countless times.

If it were his own subordinate, he would have kicked him directly.

But looking at the little woman in front of him, he could only be patient. Watching the rabbit running towards him in a panic, he said, "Shoot."

Shulan aimed, released the arrow, and it flew out with a whoosh, hitting a spot far from the rabbit. The rabbit panicked and ran away.

Shulan: "..."

He touched his nose, then awkwardly changed the subject: "Why are all these animals running away as if they're fleeing for their lives?"

He Fengmian glanced into the distance without making a sound, which frightened the two grown men so much that they cowered there, too afraid to move.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything, only saying, "They may have sensed our presence, or something is chasing them. There are many dangers in these mountains and forests."

Shulan thought about it and realized it made sense, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Looking at the three pheasants and two rabbits in the bearded man's hands, he asked, "Want to continue?"

He Fengmian asked her, "Have you learned it?"

Somewhat guilty, he replied, "No."

She can't learn it now, and she can't possibly learn it today; she's lost all interest.

He Fengmian calmly said, "Then let's continue."

"..."

Seeing her distress, he asked, "Don't you want to learn anymore?"

Shulan: "Mm."

Mental fatigue is one thing, but the main problem is: "I feel soreness in my shoulders and hands, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the acupuncture needles tomorrow and won't be able to take the pulse accurately."

He Fengmian nodded: "Okay."

But honestly, he said, "Your arm strength is too weak; you need to strengthen it."

Shulan: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "This crossbow is too heavy. I'm usually quite strong."

He Fengmian: "Oh."

Obviously, they don't believe it.

Shulan: "..."

The two people in the distance, upon hearing the general's words, also suffered severe heart attacks.

Watching the general and his wife descend the mountain, Liu Moyang said, "I finally understand what my elder brother meant."
