Chapter 608: A Bountiful Harvest
"Thud!" The arrow tip landed on the grass, missing its target, but startling the pheasant beside it, which flapped its wings and ran forward like a madman.
Shu Yu sighed and twisted her wrist; sure enough, the feel was different.
Seeing that the arrow had gone slightly off course, Fang Xiyue, worried that Shu Yu might be upset, quickly comforted her, saying, "It's okay, you almost hit the target. This is only your first arrow, you've already done very well. My father said that if you're not familiar with a bow and arrow, and the weight is even slightly off, it's normal for it to go astray. Don't be discouraged."
Seeing her trying so hard to comfort and encourage her, Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know, I didn't expect to hit the target right away either. Let's go, let's catch up and see."
I wonder if that pheasant will be caught again.
Fang Xiyue nodded vigorously, picked up the arrow from the ground, and continued to lead the way.
However, pheasants and rabbits weren't so easy to encounter. As Shu Yu walked, he simply picked a target and practiced his skills by shooting a few arrows at it.
Having fully regained his feel for the game, when Fang Xiyue spotted the pheasant again, Shu Yu drew his bow, aimed, and fired in one smooth motion, instantly killing the pheasant.
Fang Xiyue cheered, "I won!"
Shu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two walked forward with smiles.
Only a short time had passed, and the two had achieved a great victory, greatly boosting their confidence.
They are still halfway up the mountain, and the prey is not very big, so they have had a good harvest, which is quite gratifying.
Once you catch the first pheasant, you'll catch a second and a third.
Shu Yu and Fang Xiyue worked together seamlessly. Neither of them were delicate girls, and they didn't feel any hindrance running through the mountains and forests. On the contrary, they became more and more excited.
By noon, he had three pheasants and a rabbit in his hands.
In just one morning, the two had already completed their task and still had some left over.
Shu Yu found a flat rock, sat down, and prepared to eat something.
Because she was going into the mountains, she could only bring her own water and dry food this time; it was impossible for someone to bring her food.
She held a rice ball with an egg in her hand; although it was a little cold, it still tasted good.
Fang Xiyue also took out some dry food, but compared to Shu Yu, her food was much simpler.
There was even a little food; there was only one coarse flour bun, but the water sac did contain water. She was prepared to drink water if she didn't have enough to eat.
Fang Xiyue sat behind Shu Yu, having deliberately turned her back from the moment Shu Yu took out the food.
Otherwise, she worried that she would drool.
How long had it been since she had eaten rice balls wrapped with shredded meat and eggs? She was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist, and that would be embarrassing.
Fang Xiyue ate very slowly. The coarse flour buns were hard to swallow, and eating slowly meant she wouldn't get hungry easily.
So when Shu Yu finished eating, Fang Xiyue was still slowly munching away with her back to her.
Just as she was about to finish the last bite, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her shoulder. Fang Xiyue almost thought it was a snake crawling over, and she was so startled that she immediately stood up and took two steps back.
Shu Yu, "..."
She should have spoken up first; look how frightened she is. It would be bad if something serious happened.
Shu Yu coughed lightly and handed the rice ball forward, "Here you go."
Fang Xiyue blinked, then shook her head frantically, "No, no need."
"Take it. My grandma prepared a lot for me, and I can't eat it all. Just consider it a favor."
