"Red deer, wild boar, roe deer, that big one is a bear, these fresh ones are pheasants, hey, these pheasant footprints are very fresh, they might be nearby."
"real?"
What man doesn't have a desire to conquer?
Although the target is a bit small, and almost all of them have caught it before, catching this thing really requires patience and speed, and it's also an interesting thing for them.
Qin Yi and Battalion Commander Xu immediately began to cautiously glance around, as if the pheasant were right next to them.
Qin Qinghuai seemed to be doing the same thing as before, simply giving him a few sarcastic remarks.
"Aren't you going?"
Qin Qinghuai shook his head.
"Never mind, let them play."
The few men on this side held their breath and tiptoed for a long time without finding anything. On the contrary, the large unit not far ahead quickly became noisy. Battalion Commander Xu's face darkened, and he quickly ran over to reprimand them.
"What are you doing? You've scared away all the pheasants."
Then someone pointed behind him.
"Commander, pheasant, pheasant!"
Battalion Commander Xu turned around, and there he was.
A pheasant suddenly darted out from beside the group's resting spot, clucking in fright as it fluttered towards them. Qin Yi reacted instantly and rushed forward, with Zheng Aiguo following closely behind.
Do you think they can catch them?
Qin Qinghuai shook his head firmly. Both of them were guards, and compared to the soldiers on duty, they had less experience.
"Xiao Yi is a bit impulsive and his aim is not good enough. Zheng Aiguo is steady, but his reaction speed is a bit slow. He is playing it safe. He is fine with large targets, but this target is too small and there are no weapons, so the chances are not high."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the pheasant fluttered away from Qin Yi and Zheng Aiguo, narrowly escaping with its life. Both men grabbed two feathers and threw them to the side of the road.
Before the pheasant could even land, a pebble came flying at its head with tremendous force. In just a few seconds, before the pheasant could react, it was struck on the head. With a short scream, it fell from mid-air and crashed onto the snow with a thud.
The main force at the front was stunned. Qin Yi and Zheng Aiguo were stunned. Even Qin Qinghuai, who was closest, was stunned. This was the second time he had seen Jian Dan make a move. The first time was with the wild boar, and the second time was with this pheasant. Both were clean and efficient.
Qin Yi roared and rushed back, circling Jian Dan several times.
"Sister-in-law, how did you do that? That's amazing! One move and you're dead."
Jian Dan hadn't intended to make a move, but when the pheasant came towards her, she reflexively threw the date pit in her hand away.
"Uh, haha, you should pick up that pheasant first, or it will flutter into the snow."
A few steps behind, Zheng Aiguo, still somewhat shaken, picked up the pheasant, skillfully grabbed the vines, and tied its wings and legs together. Battalion Commander Xu, who had followed, stared wide-eyed.
"Sister-in-law, your skills are amazing! Could you teach the brothers?"
"Huh? This can't be that bad, can it?"
Qin Qinghuai sighed. This workaholic, here he comes again.
Qin Yi got straight to the point.
"It's lucky it was just a pheasant. If it had been a wild boar, would you have had to challenge your sister-in-law to a duel?"
He meant to be sarcastic, but Battalion Commander Xu seemed a bit simple-minded and didn't understand, immediately pressing for more details.
"Really? Sister-in-law, can we spar?"
She glanced at Qin Yi, wondering if he was trying to help her out of a tight spot or cause her trouble.
Qin Yi was also confused. No, did he mean that?
Qin Qinghuai suppressed a laugh. This Battalion Commander Xu looked like a rough and unrefined man, but he always said things that were unpredictable, leaving those who responded speechless.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to the point. Let's keep going, Battalion Commander Xu. You're still ahead, we'll follow you slowly."
This was a clear order to leave. Battalion Commander Xu was naturally unwilling, but he was too embarrassed to say anything more. He kept turning back to rejoin the people in front of him.
Qin Yi patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"Oh my, this Battalion Commander Xu, he can't resist anyone with good skills, he wants to give his battalion extra training every day."
"Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense. Battalion Commander Xu is a good comrade who is wholeheartedly for the army. He is doing all this to improve the brothers' self-defense capabilities. His idea is not wrong."
Zheng Aiguo glanced at Jian Dan, then withdrew his probing gaze and explained softly.
“A few years ago, there were two major clashes, and most of Battalion Commander Xu’s men were killed. Ever since then, he has had this problem. He goes around seeking advice and learning from others. He feels that the responsibility lies with him, that it is because he made sure his brothers learned too few skills, which led to their deaths.”
Several people fell silent; they really couldn't say anything about it.
Qin Qinghuai finally understood.
"So, he gave most of his allowance to the families of his fallen brothers, preferring to let his own family go hungry?"
He said that a battalion-level officer is still a leader, and his monthly allowance is actually quite substantial, so there must be a reason why his family members are still starving.
"...That's part of the reason. Actually, the family didn't say anything. It's just that he himself can't get over that hurdle."
It looked simple.
“Before, when Company Commander Cheng came over, he would often grab Company Commander Cheng and want to spar with him, but he would always lose after only a few rounds, and he would always remember it.”
Simply blink.
"If he can fight Brother Chao, he must be quite skilled. Isn't the intensity of his training for the soldiers enough?"
Turning to look at Qin Qinghuai, was her fixed mindset wrong? This military region required everyone to become an expert?
Ahead, Battalion Commander Xu was saying something, and soon the soldiers started shouting slogans. The chants were enthusiastic and inspiring, and in the forest, they were truly exhilarating and encouraging. After listening for a while, my fatigue lessened considerably.
