Chapter 286 Hunting Wild Roe Deer
After hearing this, the two officers named Xiao Sanzi and Anan nodded and walked back secretly.
An officer then asked, "Miss Shen, those wild roe deer have all run away. Let's go chase them."
Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "No need to chase, let's wait here for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why? Are we just going to sit back and wait for something to happen?"
Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "That's almost the same, but we're just waiting for the roe deer. Even if the roe deer escape from the hunters, there's still a certain chance that they'll return to their original feeding grounds after a while. Let's wait a while. If the roe deer still don't come back, we can follow their tracks and catch them."
After hearing this, Yuan Xun and several officers looked at Chen Fenghe in confusion.
"Is this... a wild roe deer so stupid?"
“That’s why it’s called the silly roe deer.”
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the wild roe deer came back to their original place and started to gnaw on the bark and branches.
Chen Fenghe was also somewhat speechless.
Although she knew about these experiences hunting wild roe deer, she wasn't completely certain. She hadn't expected them to actually come back and start eating so leisurely... It seemed like calling them stupid was actually justified.
Yuan Xun and several officers were excited and whispered, "Miss Shen, you are amazing! They really came back!"
Xiao Yunshuo looked at Chen Fenghe with admiration and a bit of doting.
Shen Fenghe felt his gaze and subconsciously looked back. When the two of them looked at each other, her face inexplicably became hot. She quickly turned her head and whispered, "There is no time to lose. Let's... let's quickly catch the wild roe deer."
At that moment, Yuan Xun and an officer drew their bows. Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo were also given bows and arrows from two other officers whose archery skills were average. They were assigned the wild roe deer to hunt, and then took aim at them with bated breath.
Following Shen Fenghe's command, four arrows cut through the air with a 'swoosh' sound, followed by a light 'puff' sound, and all of them accurately hit the wild roe deer.
Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo were both shot in the wild roe deer's heads, Yuan Xun in the neck, and another officer's technique was not as good as before, so he was shot in the stomach. As a result, the first three fell to the ground with a "thump", and the last one struggled and tried to run forward after falling to the ground.
In a flash, Xiao Yunshuo drew his bow and shot another arrow, hitting the injured wild roe deer on the head. The wild roe deer fell to the ground motionless.
Several men hurried out, carried a few wild roe deer on their shoulders, and walked back.
An official said happily, "Brother Xun, this is a great harvest. In this weather, the meat will keep for several days without spoiling. It's enough for us all to eat for several days!"
Yuan Xun smiled and said, "Look how happy you are. However, you are happy, but you have to carry these wild roe deer back. You can't drag them on the ground. Otherwise, if you leave traces and those Northern Rong people find you, we will be in danger."
Several people agreed, "Brother Xun, listen to what you said. Although we are not good at archery, we still have some vigilance. We will definitely carry it back."
Everyone was talking in low voices and walking back happily.
When they returned to the resting place of the exile team, everyone was happy and envious when they saw that four wild roe deer were carried back.
However, Xiao Sanzi and Anan had already come back to report the news, so no one dared to make it public.
Chen Wu's serious face also showed a bit of joy. He came forward and whispered, "So many prey? Miss Shen, Chen Wu really admires you. Did everything go smoothly on your way back? Did you encounter the Beirong people again?"
