Chapter 73 Encountering a Herd of Deer, Impressive Archery Skill
"Brother Hanchuan, it's true, it really is elk, and there's a huge herd." Lin Wenqian also saw the elk herd, and his voice trembled with excitement.
"Yes, I saw them. Don't get too excited, or you'll scare them away," Xie Hanchuan quickly reassured Lin Wenqian when he saw how agitated he was.
To avoid scaring away the deer herd and having to return empty-handed today.
"Brother Hanchuan, can I borrow your bow and arrows?" Lin Luoxi had no intention of going out to fight the timid deer.
"This is a bow and arrow made of black iron. Can you draw it?" Xie Hanchuan asked with concern, weighing the heavy bow and arrow in his hand.
"Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we try." Lin Luoxi had seen Xie Hanchuan carrying a bow and arrow several times when she went up the mountain, but she never expected that it was made of black iron.
"Here you go." Seeing Lin Luoxi's confident expression, Xie Hanchuan inexplicably believed in her abilities and quickly handed her the bow and arrow.
The bow and arrows were quite heavy, but fortunately, Lin Luoxi had already prepared herself mentally when Xie Hanchuan mentioned it, so she didn't embarrass herself in front of the two of them.
He drew three arrows from Xie Hanchuan's quiver, nocked them, drew the bow, and released the arrows in one swift motion.
After the arrow is shot, draw the bowstring again and release the arrow.
"My God, this, this..." Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan were both stunned and stood there dumbfounded when they saw Lin Luoxi's smooth and seamless movements.
Regardless of whether the arrow hit the deer, Lin Luoxi's quick drawing and shooting of the bow had already impressed and amazed the two men present.
Good heavens, is this really the strength a delicate woman should have?
Not only that, but they also fired three arrows at once. Even a master would probably have to admit defeat.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and check on the prey you shot." Before Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she grabbed her bow and arrow, disappeared into the leaves, and vanished from sight.
"Come on, hurry up and follow them." Xie Hanchuan hadn't misheard; Lin Luoxi was referring to the deer she had shot.
He was now going to see if Lin Luoxi had really hit him.
"Hey, wait for me." Lin Wenqian saw that Xie Hanchuan had already chased after him before going out, so he quickly grabbed his basket and squeezed inside as well.
"Only three were hit; the rest missed," Lin Luoxi said, slightly disappointed.
After Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan chased after them, they saw the three largest male elk lying on the ground.
All the other deer have disappeared; they must have been scared away by the noise of Lin Luoxi's sudden attack.
The arrows shot by Lin Luoxi struck the necks of three male deer on the ground.
When they ran out, blood gushed from the deer's neck; it was still struggling, not yet dead.
There were three arrows at Lin Luoxi's feet, which must have been the three arrows that missed their mark.
"Second sister, you've already done a great job." Lin Wenqian now idolizes Lin Luoxi like a hero.
Compared to Lin Wenqian's excitement, Xie Hanchuan felt quite defeated. He realized that Lin Luoxi was simply too outstanding, so outstanding that he felt ashamed in front of her.
"Brother Hanchuan, what's wrong? My sister is so amazing, why do you seem unhappy?" After a moment of excitement, Lin Wenqian frowned and asked when he saw Xie Hanchuan's smile looking more like a grimace.
"Happy? How could I not be happy? I'm just... I'm just so amazing. I'm a guy and I can't even compare to her..." Xie Hanchuan said truthfully.
"Oh, I thought it was something serious. It's nothing. I'm still my sister's older brother. I'm not as capable as my sister."
Lin Wenqian was not ashamed that he was not as capable as his younger sister. On the contrary, he was proud and happy, patting his chest and saying proudly.
"You're her older brother, so naturally you feel proud of your sister's abilities. But if he wants to be Lin Luoxi's man, he definitely needs to be stronger and more capable than Lin Luoxi to protect her," Xie Hanchuan thought to himself.
“There are three deer here, just right, one for each of us,” Lin Luoxi began to distribute the prey.
"No, you hunted this, I can't take it." Xie Hanchuan was already feeling bad because Lin Luoxi was better than him, and now he had to accept the game that Lin Luoxi had hunted for free. He really had no face to accept it.
"Brother Hanchuan, it's because of your bow and arrow that we were able to hunt these three deer so successfully."
"If you don't want it, then we won't be able to go hunting with you in the future." Lin Luoxi didn't know what Xie Hanchuan was being difficult about, but in order to sell the deer as soon as possible, she could only say this.
Xie Hanchuan had already prepared a thousand reasons to refuse, but who knew Lin Luoxi would use this method.
In order to have more time to spend with Lin Luoxi in the future, Xie Hanchuan had no choice but to agree to Lin Luoxi's arrangement.
Since Xie Hanchuan had a shortcut to the deep mountains, he naturally had a shortcut to the county.
Xie Hanchuan carried the deer that Lin Luoxi had given him on his back, walking ahead and leading Lin Luoxi and her brother as they sped towards the county town.
Xie Hanchuan was devastated to discover that Lin Luoxi was not only a skilled hunter, but also possessed excellent physical strength.
Following him, carrying the deer on her back, traversing mountains and valleys, Lin Luoxi didn't complain of being tired at all, and followed them all the way to the number one restaurant in the world.
Shopkeeper Xu hadn't expected that the wild game Xie Hanchuan had sent over the past few days would be so large; it was truly an unexpected surprise.
Only with such large game can you create unique signature dishes and retain customers, which is the most desired outcome for anyone in the restaurant industry.
Furthermore, their restaurants are all over the world, so they can consume any amount of wild game.
They readily offered a price higher than the market rate to buy all the wild game brought by Xie Hanchuan and his companions.
When they were weighed, they weren't weighed separately, and Lin Luoxi simply split the silver they received equally among the three of them.
Xie Hanchuan wanted to refuse again, but Lin Luoxi stopped him with a look, and he obediently put away his money.
When paying the bill, Lin Luoxi asked Manager Xu where to find affordable shops selling writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
After leaving the No. 1 Restaurant in the world, Lin Luoxi led Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan to a shop selling stationery and other stationery items, and they went on a shopping spree.
"Hey, Brother Hanchuan, are you also planning to go to a private school?" Lin Wenqian asked curiously when he saw that Xie Hanchuan had also bought a lot of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
“Well, we can’t hunt for the rest of our lives.” Xie Hanchuan glanced at the books he was selecting from the Analects and the Four Books and Five Classics, and answered seriously.
He vowed that since he wasn't as good at hunting as Lin Luoxi, he would find another way to succeed, such as taking the imperial examination.
"Yes, that's the most correct way to think." After hearing Xie Hanchuan's words, Lin Luoxi immediately looked up from her books and gave Xie Hanchuan a firm agreement.
"Oh, who do we have here?" Just as Lin Wenqian was about to share the good news with Xie Hanchuan that he could start his studies with Doctor Yang tomorrow, a strange voice came from beside him.
