Chapter 61: Hunting Pheasants



Su Congwu gritted his teeth, waited for the right moment, and pounced on the pheasant. He felt the warmth in his hand and was about to get excited when the pheasant's sharp claws scratched him. Su Congwu let go of his hand in pain. As he let go, the pheasant spread its wings and flew away again. Su Congwu was left with only a handful of chicken feathers in his hand.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." The pheasant called again, and in Su Congwu's ears it sounded like a mockery of him.

Su Congwu was annoyed. It was just a pheasant, but he didn't believe that he couldn't catch it today!

Su Qingyun had been standing there without moving. In fact, her eyes were always watching the pheasant's movements. Her whole body was tense and highly concentrated, with the stone in her hand ready to hit at any time.

Finally, when the pheasant proudly flew to a place not far from her, it stopped. Su Qingyun's eyes fixed, and now, she pinched the stone and made a decisive move. The flat stone shot out with a sound of breaking through the air, and instantly hit the raised head of the pheasant. The "clucking" sound stopped abruptly, and its body tilted and soon fell to the ground.

Su Qingyun's move left the three of them stunned.

Su Congwu walked to the pheasant and looked at the pheasant, which was dying and still twitching and struggling. He swallowed his saliva.

It took Su Congjun a while to find his voice again. "Yunyun, when did you learn this skill? You're so accurate, and so powerful."

"It's so fast, accurate and ruthless!" Su Congwu murmured, touching the stone, still unable to believe it.

"This is so handsome, Yunyun!" Wen Sisi looked at Su Qingyun with eyes so hot that little stars seemed to appear in her eyes. She had never seen a girl who could be described as handsome, but Yunyun could!

"I just often play with throwing stones by myself. Practice makes perfect. It was just a coincidence just now." Su Qingyun said lightly.

She is not a nerd who only knows how to study and stay in the laboratory. She was brought up with strict family education. She had to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, music and archery since she was a child. She did not seek to be perfect in all the arts, but she had to be able to do them. She was especially good at shooting. When she was in college, she even won the shooting championship at the National Universiade. Unfortunately, due to her busy studies, she never participated in the competition again.

"Let's figure out how to get the chickens back now," she said, frowning. "It's still light out, and there are a lot of people in the village. If they see us, they'll start gossiping behind our backs."

Yunluo Mountain belongs to the country, and the pheasants are from the mountain, so they naturally belong to the public. If I bring them back openly and someone sees them and asks them to divide them, I don’t know what to do.

Su Congjun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go down like this for now. When we get to the foot of the mountain, I'll take off my cotton coat, wrap the chicken in it and take it back."

"No, no, it's so cold." Wen Sisi rejected it outright.

"It's okay, I can run home in two steps."

"Forget it, big brother. Tomorrow is your wedding day with Sister Sisi. You can't catch a cold now." Su Qingyun also objected. She looked at Su Congwu and said, "Third brother, you are young and have a bad temper. You should take off your clothes and run back later."

Su Congwu: "..."Won’t he catch a cold?

"Okay, I'll run." He said resignedly.

A world was created where only Su Congwu was hurt.

Soon, the four of them went down the mountain. Su Congwu took off his cotton coat and ran home directly with the half-dead chicken wrapped in it. The other three walked back slowly.

"Oh my God! Are you crazy, you little brat?" Zhang Xinlan, who was in the yard, was shocked when she saw her son rushing in wearing only two thin clothes. "It's so cold, why are you taking off your clothes?"

Su Congwu ran all the way back and didn't feel cold at all. "Mom, don't scream, come inside quickly."

Zhang Xinlan followed Su Congwu into the inner room, only to see him open the cotton coat in his hand, revealing a beautiful pheasant, its body still heaving slightly.

Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened. "Oh my god, where did you get such a fat pheasant?"

Su Congwu put on his cotton coat and raised his eyebrows proudly, "We caught it in the mountains, how about it? We can have another dish."

"You guys are really capable. You can even bring back a pheasant after going out for a walk." Zhang Xinlan exclaimed in admiration.

"Look." Su Congwu carried the chicken to the kitchen again. Li Xiu Lian and Wu Guixiang were busy in the kitchen. When they saw such a fat pheasant, their eyes lit up.

"Did you catch this?" Wu Guixiang circled the pheasant three times, but she still didn't quite believe it.

Su Congwu paused, "We... caught him together."

"What do you mean together? It was obviously Yunyun who caught it. If it weren't for Yunyun, the three of us would still be struggling there." Su Congjun walked in and said with a smile.

Su Congwu choked. How could they not be together? Even if he didn't have any merits, he still worked hard, right?
