Chapter 2142 Shot
Perhaps knowing that if caught, they would die, the sheep ran desperately. Even though Chiji and Daoli were very good, they couldn't catch up for a while, but the distance was gradually shortening...
Manbao became more and more excited. When she saw that she was about to catch up, she reached out and took down the small bow hanging on the horse, put an arrow on it, took aim, and shot...
Bai Shan saw the arrow fly high over the sheep's head and land far in front of the left. The sheep seemed frightened and did not turn, but ran forward...
He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The wind was so loud that Manbao didn't hear his laughter. She was too nervous and the only thing in her eyes was the sheep. She nocked another arrow and it shot out, brushing against the sheep's butt and hitting the ground.
Manbao: ...
Bai Shan couldn't help but speed up and overtake her, turned around and stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Manbao suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and handed the bow and quiver to him as the two horses quickly became parallel.
Bai Shan caught the bow, hung the quiver on the horse, gently kicked the horse's belly, and shouted: "Gee!"
Just follow the sheep.
There were always archery and horseback archery classes in Chongwenguan. Bai Shan did quite well. Even though most of his shots were at stationary targets, he was still much better than Manbao who was not very active.
Bai Shan chased after the sheep, drew his bow and aimed, and the arrow flew out, hitting the sheep directly on the neck.
The sheep was injured while running and fell. Due to inertia, it rolled twice on the ground before stopping. It kicked its legs twice before dying.
Manbao caught up with him and jumped off his horse excitedly to see, "Is he dead?"
Bai Shanye jumped off the horse with the bow in hand, took a look and nodded, "Dead."
Koko, who had been silent the whole time, finally said, "An unlisted species of antelope has been detected..."
Manbao laughed in his heart: "Koko, you're too late!"
Koko: "Can the host capture it without killing it?"
That’s really not possible. I guess we have to ask the herdsmen for help with this matter.
So what’s the difference between saying it early and saying it late?
If she had told me in advance that she was too restrained, she might have let the sheep run away. Well, even if she hadn't been too restrained, she would have let the sheep run away if she had caught it herself.
After this incident, Koko no longer had any hope in the host's archery skills.
Daji also caught up from behind. He retrieved the two arrows that Manbao had shot astray. The arrowheads were fine, so he just had to polish them and use them again.
Manbao and Baishan were not very good at handling prey. Daji threw the arrow into the quiver, rolled up his sleeves, walked forward and took out the arrow from the sheep's neck. After putting it away, he squatted and waited for the blood to coagulate. After a while, he hung the sheep on the horse and went back.
That’s right, the method of dealing with prey is so simple and crude.
Manbao and Bai Shan also squatted aside and waited, and discussed how to capture the antelopes alive next time they encountered a herd of antelopes.
Daji squatted aside and listened, and couldn't help saying: "You can't catch him alive."
When Bai Shan heard this, he turned his head and stared at Daji with sharp eyes: "Can Daji be caught?"
Daji paused and said, "I can't do it either, but it should be possible if I bring a few more people."
But he didn't understand why they had to capture them alive. Aren't these wild sheep going to be eaten anyway?
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other and smiled slightly. Since Daji and the others can do it, it should be easier for the herdsmen to catch them.
Manbao and Keke said, "I'll keep an eye on them along the way. If there's a chance, I'll have someone catch them and then secretly collect them."
Koko agreed.
Knowing these things, you have to be careful when doing them, otherwise it will be difficult to hide them from people close to you.
Daji waited until the sheep's bleeding had subsided a little, then he tied the sheep up, attached it to his horse, and left.
At first, Bai Shan and Man Bao followed slowly and obediently behind. After running for a while, probably because the wind was blowing comfortably, they said hello to Daji and ran past him again.
Daji had no choice but to follow them.
After running for about two quarters of an hour, they finally returned to the official road. They saw their convoy from a distance and the two of them chased after them.
Yin Huo and the others had already woken up, but were still lying in the carriage. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, which was different from the previous ones, he turned his head and asked Changshou, who was sitting by the carriage door, "Are Bai Shan and the others back?"
Changshou lifted the curtain and went out to look. When he saw nothing in front of him, he stood up and looked behind him. He immediately went back and said happily, "Master, Master Bai and Miss Man are back."
Ji Yu also said happily to Liu Huan: "Master Bai and Lord Zhou are back."
Seeing Bai Erlang peeking out, the guard also looked back and exclaimed, "Master, it seems that Master Tang and his men have brought back prey."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he could no longer sit still. Without even making his bed, he waved his hand and asked the guards to bring his Green Ear over.
The guard turned around with Green Ear in his hand and quickly walked away with the carriage.
Bai Erlang pulled Lu'er over and didn't let them stop the car. He waited for the right moment to jump from the car to the horse's back. It was not the first time that Lu'er had accompanied his master to do this. As soon as he caught the person, he immediately turned his head and ran to the grass, and then turned around and ran back.
When the three of them met, Bai Erlang didn't stop. Instead, he ran to Daji's side and took a curious look at the sheep on his horse's back before turning around and chasing him. "Shall we have roasted lamb for lunch?"
Bai Shan emphasized: "It's night!"
Manbao said: "Let's take a short break at noon and then continue our journey."
This is a grassland, so the number of post stations is reduced. Not to mention two post stations a day, you might not even encounter one post station a day. Moreover, there are not many settlements on the grassland. If you don't encounter one, there is really no need to waste too much time at noon.
The evening was pleasant, and Bai Erlang was delighted. He then asked, "Was it Daji who called you?"
Bai Shan straightened his chest slightly and said with some reserve, "I beat him."
Bai Erlang was even happier when he heard this. "If you can hit it, then I can definitely do it too. I'll ride with you guys tomorrow. I want to go hunting too."
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"My archery skills are no worse than yours. If you can do it, why can't I?"
Bai Shan: "Because I'm a better rider than you?"
Bai Erlang couldn't outrun Bai Shan. In the last exam, he only got a grade B, while Bai Shan got an grade A.
Manbao couldn't even compare to Bai Er, and it was all thanks to Bai Shan that she was able to give in. She decided to ride more horses during this period to practice her riding skills.
Manbao passed the two men and went straight forward. The convoy did not stop until noon. Daji put the prey on a car at the back.
Mr. Zhuang and others also got out of the car, turned their waists, and moved around on the grass. The servants boiled water in the stove and brought it up, and everyone took out some dry food to eat.
Because we had just come out of Xiazhou City, everyone's dry food was soft meat patties, which tasted very good when eaten with boiled water.
Yin Huo couldn't really eat this, so there was always a stove in his car. Half an hour ago, Changshou added water and rice to the stove and started cooking. Now the porridge had turned into rice crystals.
Manbao kindly provided a small dish of pickled vegetables, and then everyone watched him eat porridge while they ate bread.
See you at 9pm
