Chapter 363 Who Taught Him
Instead, it was Xie Jingrong who surprisingly shot two pheasants.
Everyone was surprised, but Xie Jingrong just smiled and explained that he had learned it for a while before.
Shao Yunduan secretly admired him. Riding and archery were one of the six arts of a gentleman. A family like the Xie family would naturally not neglect any aspect when training their direct descendants. It was no surprise that Xie Jingrong could shoot arrows and his movements were so elegant and beautiful.
Qu Shan and Xie Dong were extremely happy. It was rare for them to have such fun in the wild. Every time prey was shot, they would rush over to pick it up, and they were so happy, as if they had hunted it themselves.
Le Zhengxiao didn't catch any prey, but he didn't care. They were just here to have fun.
In addition to the prey, Shao Xiaoqi, Taotao and others picked a lot of wild fruits for the two to taste, and they also picked a lot of wild grapes.
I also came across a few peach trees. The bright red fruits were not much bigger than duck eggs, but they surprisingly tasted quite good, crispy and sweet, with a strong peach fragrance.
Everyone picked a lot of ripe ones.
Qiao Xuan also picked some mushrooms, which made Le Zhengxiao curious and asked a lot of questions.
We didn't encounter any large animals for most of the day, but not long after lunch we encountered a muntjac.
Shao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "I'm lucky today, I finally encountered a big one! Hush, everyone, don't make any noise, the deer are very alert."
Shao Xiaoqi raised his thick black eyebrows, his eyes became sharp, he stopped everyone and slowly moved forward, taking advantage of the bushes and trees.
When he reached the right distance, he drew his arrow, put it on the bow, squinted his eyes and aimed the sharp arrow at the heart of the muntjac. With a "whoosh", the arrow flew out like an arrow from a bow and hit the muntjac directly.
The muntjac screamed and fell to the ground with a "bang!". After struggling for a few times, it became motionless.
Qu Shan and Xie Dong cheered: "Hit! Hit! Hit!"
The two of them ran over happily and carried the deer back together.
"Xiaoqi is really great!" Le Zhengxiao gave Shao Xiaoqi a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.
Shao Xiaoqi scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, hehe, it's... okay."
"It's very good!" Le Zhengxiao said with a smile. Especially when he was hunting deer just now, Shao Xiaoqi's whole state immediately changed. He was serious but also fierce. From his posture, movements and expression, if you didn't know him, you would think he was not hunting, but two armies facing the enemy.
Looking back, he hunted pheasants and hares as if it was just a joke and it was very easy.
"With just this one skill, I think you can join the army! If you join the army, you may be able to make a name for yourself soon! Brother Xie, don't you agree?"
Xie Jingrong nodded gently, "Yes, Xiao Qi doesn't seem to be a wild man. If he joins the army, it will not be difficult for him to make a name for himself. I wonder who taught him?"
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan looked at each other, and their hearts skipped a beat.
The two subconsciously felt it was inconvenient to tell the truth, but they couldn't figure out how to say it for a while.
The two were also secretly surprised. If it wasn't a wild way, then what was it? What was the origin of Zhao the Hunter? And why did he spend the rest of his life in Shaoding Village in obscurity?
Shao Xiaoqi quickly said, "It's nothing, actually. An old hunter in our village taught me. It's a pity that my master passed away many years ago."
