Chapter 20: Does it take effort to shoot a few pheasants?



Su Ruanruan stood there not daring to move. She just turned her head carefully and looked forward from Fu Wenjing's side.

About ten meters away from them, six or seven pheasants were walking.

The fur color of a pheasant is very different from that of a domestic chicken, especially the pheasant's tail, which is very large, with long tail hair and bright colors, making it hard not to see.

No one knew where these pheasants came from. They were all fat and strong. They held their necks and heads high, looked around with their small eyes as big as green beans, and made cooing sounds from time to time.

Looking at these pheasants, Su Runrun swallowed her saliva.

It must have a lot of flesh to be so big!

If we can get all these pheasants back, even though the Fu family is large, they can still have a good meal of meat.

However, Su Runrun was just thinking about it in her mind and did not really expect to bring all these pheasants back.

Because of the different growing environments, chickens have different personalities.

Pheasants grow in the mountains, surrounded by various natural enemies, and are hunted by people from time to time, so they are all very vigilant.

If there is any slightest disturbance, they will flap their wings and fly away.

Yes, pheasants can fly. Their wings are larger and have longer feathers, which can support them to fly.

Although it won't fly very high or for too long, it is more than enough to escape.

Su Ruanruan really wanted to ask Fu Wenjing how to catch these pheasants, but she was afraid that the sound of her voice would scare the pheasants.

Just as he was struggling, he saw Fu Wenjing put a big hand into his pocket, and after a moment he took out a slingshot.

Fu Wenjing reached his other hand into his pocket again, and this time he took out a round stone.

Seeing this stone, Su Runruan suddenly remembered that on the way here just now, Fu Wenjing always bent down to pick up some small stones on the ground. At that time, Su Runruan didn't understand what he was doing, but now she finally understood.

While Su Ruanruan was thinking, Fu Wenjing had already pulled the slingshot and shot out a small stone.

With a sound of breaking through the air, the pebble hit a pheasant's head accurately.

It sounds like this matter seems simple, but Su Ruanruan, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, knows that this matter is actually not simple at all.

Pheasants are not dead creatures standing there motionless; they are always moving.

Moreover, the pheasant's head is not big and the distance is so far, so it is actually not very easy to aim at.

Another point is strength.

After all, this is just a slingshot, and it shoots out stones. It is not an easy task to hit the pheasant with one shot and knock it unconscious from a distance of more than ten meters.

But Fu Wenjing succeeded in this difficult task in one try.

As this pheasant fell, all the other pheasants were frightened and fled in all directions, flapping their wings.

Fu Wenjing did not stop there, but took out another small stone and shot it out quickly.

Fu Wenjing threw stones very quickly, one after another, and each one hit the pheasant.

It’s just that some of them hit the head accurately, while others hit the body.

The pheasant that was hit on the head fell on the spot, while the pheasant that was hit on the body, although its body shook, finally flapped its wings and flew away.

Looking at the pheasant flying away, Su Runrun felt a little regretful.

It's the same feeling as when the duck in your mouth flies away.

But soon, Su Ruanruan no longer cared about this feeling. She stared at the pheasants lying on the ground with shining eyes and said to Fu Wenjing beside her, "Hurry, hurry, let's go over there quickly, otherwise these pheasants will wake up and run away again."

Fu Wenjing smiled at Su Ruanruan, "Don't worry, wife, they won't wake up for a while."

With the small brain of the pheasant, the force he just used would probably give it a concussion. Even if it woke up, it would have no ability to escape.

However, seeing Su Runruan so anxious, Fu Wenjing quickened his pace and went to pick up pheasants with Su Runruan.

A total of four pheasants were shot, and four of them were out of tune.

Fu Wenjing was already very impressive to be able to capture four pheasants in such a short time.

Fu Wenjing pulled some vines, removed the leaves, and used them directly to tie up the pheasants.

You can throw the tied pheasants into the backpack, and you don’t have to worry about them fluttering around when they wake up.

Su Runrun's eyes never left the chickens, and her face was full of a bright smile.

They had just entered the mountains and had already made such a big harvest, they really had to be happy.

Su Ruanruan had stared at the pheasant long enough, and then she turned her gaze to Fu Wenjing's face, "You are so amazing!"

You are worthy of being a soldier, and you are worthy of having been a soldier for so many years!

A slingshot can produce such power. If it was a gun, would all those pheasants have been killed?

But using a gun to shoot pheasants is indeed a waste of talent, so I can only think about it in my mind.

Fu Wenjing raised his hand and rubbed Su Ruanruan's head. "You think you are so powerful just because you shot a few pheasants?"

"Of course!" Su Ruanruan answered without hesitation, "I can't hit any of them!"

Fu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, then soon laughed out loud.

His voice is very nice, and it becomes even more pleasant when he laughs from the bottom of his heart.

"My wife said I'm great, so I must work hard, otherwise how can I be worthy of her praise?"

Su Ruanruan blinked and hesitantly guessed, "Didn't you try hard just now?"

"Does it take effort to shoot a few pheasants? It's just a simple thing."

Fu Wenjing answered very naturally, as if it was a matter of course.

Su Ruanruan, "..."

The two looked into each other's eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, it was Fu Wenjing who spoke first, "Okay, let's go quickly and walk a little further inside. I think we should gain a lot today."

Su Ruanruan followed him into the mountains obediently, sighing in her heart that it seemed that she had indeed underestimated Fu Wenjing's strength!

The further you go inside, the less people there are.

After all, there are not only pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, but I heard there are also wild animals such as wild boars, which is quite dangerous.

No one who doesn't have any skills will go into the mountains.

If Su Runrun hadn't been with Fu Wenjing, she wouldn't have dared to go into the mountains.

But once you get inside, you will gain a lot more.

Because few people come here, the wild vegetables are particularly lush and there is no sign of being picked.

At a glance, there are wild amaranth, purslane, ground lettuce, and bitter herbs.

There is a proverb that goes like this: Amaranth in June is as good as eggs; Amaranth in July is worth more than gold.

The word "amaranth" in the proverb refers to amaranth.
