At the emperor's command, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi followed the crowd into the hunting forest.
There is the least prey at the outskirts of the forest, and the deeper you go, the more prey there is.
But there are also ferocious beasts in the depths of the forest, such as tigers, which are too dangerous.
In the autumn of September, most of the leaves in the forest turn yellow and red. A gust of wind blows, and the leaves flutter in the air and fall to the ground.
Jiang Shi tilted his head to look at Yu Tanqi and asked softly, "What prey does Tanqi want?"
Yu Tanqi thought for a moment and said, "I should probably catch some pheasants or rabbits at most. I'm not very good with a bow and arrow."
She had learned how to use the bow and arrow from Jiang Shi a few days before she learned about the autumn hunting.
Jiang Shi curved his lips and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, Tan Qi can have whatever she wants."
He looked ahead at the golden expanse. There were not only pheasants and rabbits in the forest, but also foxes. The fox fur was very suitable for making warm clothes in autumn and winter.
However, before Yu Tanqi could say what else she wanted, a loud noise suddenly came from not far ahead, shaking the surrounding trees and making them shed their leaves.
"Oh no! It's a wild boar! Run!"
"This is near the edge of the forest, why are there wild boars?"
Some people ran out of the forest in panic, screaming.
A wild boar with a sturdy body and thick, rough fur ran towards the crowd with a wild aura.
Yu Tanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as he saw what the legendary wild boar looked like, Jiang Shi took his hand and ran out of the forest with the crowd.
"Let's get out of the forest first. Wild boars are very aggressive."
“Ouch.”
The wild boar seemed very agitated, and its deep calls were getting closer and closer, making people feel uneasy.
"Ah! Help!"
A noble lady accidentally fell to the ground, her body shaking constantly as she struggled to get up.
"Get up quickly, do you want to die?"
"I have no strength left, help!"
Seeing the wild boar about to run to her, lowering its head and showing its sharp fangs, trying to bite the delicious human flesh, she widened her eyes in horror and lost her voice.
The person who tried to help her up turned around and ran away.
Just as the noble lady closed her eyes and trembled, ready to accept death, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced the wild boar's body, successfully attracting its anger.
“Hmph.”
The wild boar grunted in fear and anger.
It looked at the archer angrily, its eyes sharp and fierce, and without hesitation, it sped up and ran towards him.
Yu Tanqi's heart skipped a beat, and her legs felt a little weak as she watched a huge beast running towards her without hesitation.
The young man next to him continued to draw his bow and shot an arrow at the wild boar.
The wild boar was hit by an arrow again. Its huge body paused slightly, then it looked at him even more furiously and ran towards him aggressively.
"Tan Qi, you go first, I'll lure it away." Jiang Shi said, and at the same time shot another arrow at the wild boar, then ran in a direction where there was no one.
Yu Tanqi bit her lip, her heart beating wildly, and without much hesitation, she ran out of the forest.
She knew that she could no longer hesitate and refuse to leave, otherwise both she and Jiang Shi would be in great danger.
After finally running out of the forest, Linlang and others came up to her worriedly and supported her.
"Miss, you are not hurt?"
Yu Tanqi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, his body softened, and he let Linlang support him.
"I'm fine."
She was breathing rapidly and her back was soaked.
Someone who had already escaped told everyone that a frenzied wild boar suddenly rushed out from the edge of the hunting forest. It was Jiang Shi who drew his bow and shot an arrow to attract the wild boar's rage, and they were able to leave the hunting forest safely.
When the emperor found out, he immediately ordered the imperial guards to enter the hunting forest to rescue Jiang Shi.
Although wild boars are also a type of prey, ordinary people will only face death if they encounter wild boars. Looking at these people who almost broke their legs while running for their lives, you can clearly understand the danger of wild boars.
In everyone's eyes, Jiang Shi is still the weak and helpless boy. Everyone admires and is worried about his behavior of actively attracting the wild boar's anger so that others can escape from the forest.
"That's a wild boar. Jiang Shi is probably in great danger now."
"Alas, what a pity."
Hearing the sighs from someone in the crowd, Yu Tanqi gritted his teeth but still couldn't help but refute them.
"He'll come out intact!"
Everyone around her was startled by her.
Looking at the girl's bright and determined eyes, everyone was afraid to refute.
But some people still dared to make provocations in a low voice without fear of trouble.
"How could Jiang Shi come out unscathed? Can he defeat the wild boar?"
Yu Tanqi was very angry and his eyes swept over these people one by one.
"Who said that? Stand up."
No one dared to stand up.
They were a group of people who ran away after being scared by wild boars.
Yu Tanqi sneered, "You dare to look down on others, but you dare not stand up and admit what you said. Just because you are as cowardly as a mouse, do you think others are cowards and good-for-nothing like you?"
Most of these people avoided looking at Yu Tanqi, not daring to look him in the eye, nor to speak easily.
Surrounded by civil and military officials and relatives and friends, they still had their dignity and did not dare to stand up and become the target of public criticism.
They couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
I originally thought that Jiang Shi’s fiancée was a quiet and introverted girl, but I didn’t expect her to be so articulate.
When an ordinary girl is frightened by a wild boar like this, her legs will become so weak that she can hardly stand up, just like the noble lady who accidentally fell and couldn't stand up.
Most of those who managed to escape were still in shock and were held in their mothers' arms for comfort, and returned to their tents to rest and see a doctor.
