"It's hard to say. After all, it's something that needs to be moved, and it runs fast."
Yang Mumu stopped digging herbs with the hoe and looked towards the big deer that was looming in the woods ahead. It had already discovered the people on their side and started running. It now depended on who was faster and had better accuracy.
"It's possible that we won't be able to hit them at all."
"That's right. It's not certain that two people can hit such a big sika deer. But I guess Brother Shen will win because Brother Shen is closer to the deer and the arrow is shot out!"
Song Yan was so shocked that his voice rose. He saw that Shen Xingci's arrow was shot out a few tenths of a second first, and Gu Xingzhou's arrow followed suit. The two arrows rubbed against each other in the air and shot towards the jumping sika deer side by side.
It was such a tense scene that Song Yan's breathing became heavier and he dared not breathe.
Gu Xingzhou's arrow hit the deer's eye, leaving only a small section of the arrow tail outside.
And Shen Xingci's arrow pierced into the deer's forehead.
The sika deer fell to the ground with a bang, and struggled to get up from the ground. After struggling for a few times, it was finally out of strength and lay there without being able to get up. There was no movement.
Seeing the sika deer being shot, Song Yan let out the breath he had held and started breathing again, but the shock in his eyes was no less.
"Oh my god, Sister Mu, did you see that? We arrived at almost the same time! How can I tell who won or lost?"
"See, in this case you should call them a tie. If either arrow is missing, the deer cannot be saved."
Yang Mumu took out an extra-large sack and handed it to Song Yan.
"Put it in this. This bag is big and can hold it."
"Okay, I'm going to pick up a deer. Haha, it's such a big one. This deer is so fat and plump. You can tell there's a lot of meat on it. Haha, the whole body of a deer is a treasure! Deer meat, deer hair, deer antlers, haha, they're all good stuff."
Song Yan took out the kettle, poured out the water inside, and ran towards the fallen deer happily.
"Deer blood is also a good thing. Don't let it run dry. Don't waste it."
The first thing he did when he ran over was to put the kettle on Lu Zi's bleeding forehead, then turned around and shouted with a smile:
"Brothers and sisters, who can provide another kettle to connect the eyeball here as well?"
"Use this."
Gu Xingzhou took out a large washbasin from the backpack on Shen Xingci's back and walked over to take it.
"Pour the contents of the kettle in quickly. If it solidifies later you'll have to use a stick to break it up and get it out. It's very troublesome."
"Yes, I haven't thought of that yet."
Song Yan quickly poured the blood in the kettle into the basin, and then poured some more blood into the basin.
Tick-tick, tick-tick, it flows very slowly.
Yang Mumu couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out a kitchen knife from his backpack, grabbed the deer's neck and cut it with the knife.
Gu Xingzhou quickly put the kettle on Lu Zi's bleeding neck.
"Mu Mu is still quick and efficient. Old Gu, you are not as good. You are hesitating for a long time." Shen Xingci walked around the deer and said, "Who do you think is the bigger deer, referee?"
"It's a tie. You're both very good. It was only thanks to your two arrows that the deer couldn't escape. So it's still a tie. Keep going and keep fighting."
Song Yan tried his best to be fair and would never let the two sides decide the winner so easily. Meat, it was all meat. If the winner could not be determined for a while, the two could continue hunting, and more meat would come, in an endless supply!
He already had a picture in his mind, and many prey appeared in front of him.
The picture was so beautiful that I laughed out loud on the spot.
"Okay, it's a draw, Lao Gu, let's continue." Shen Xingci raised his bow and arrow. The important thing now was to participate.
"Brother, don't get involved. It's already twelve o'clock. Eat lunch first and then continue."
Song Yan tapped his watch, looked at the deer blood, and began to happily pick up stones to build a stove to prepare the blood soup.
"It's really getting late, let's eat here."
Yang Mumu took out a hoe and found a flat place to dig a hole to use as a stove.
Gu Xingzhou also started to bring out pots, pans, and utensils.
"Okay, let's eat first and then take action."
Shen Xingci touched his stomach and felt hungry, so he put down his bow and arrow and followed them to join in the work.
There were too many people here and there was nothing for him to do, so he went to collect firewood and brought back two large bundles.
The four of them sat on the ground, got two rabbits, squeezed some wild fruit juice on the meat, sprinkled spices on it and roasted it. It was delicious.
Paired with some wild kiwi fruit to relieve the greasiness, and a sip of deer blood soup cooked with dandelions, it is a very satisfying meal.
We didn't eat the dry food we brought with us. All we ate was fresh food from the mountains. There were abundant supplies and no shortage of food.
After eating, they put out the fire and continued to work.
Song Yan touched his bulging belly and sighed, "It's different to have a skill. I won't be hungry wherever I go."
Shen Xingci stood up with the backpack on his back, "Let us teach you. Come on, we'll teach you while we hunt. You know how to use a slingshot, right? If you know how to use it, you'll learn quickly."
"You know how to play? Will you really teach me?" Song Yan was a little excited and looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, eager to try it out.
"Zhen will teach you. Your brother Zhou can also teach you. You won't be short of food in the future. Mumu, do you want to learn? Let's learn together?"
"Brother Xingci, I don't need to learn. I know a little bit about hunting, so you guys learn. I'm very interested in the herbs on the mountain today."
Yang Mumu raised her hoe, and when she saw the honeysuckle on the ground, she immediately squatted down and started digging, demonstrating her words with actions.
There were a few honeysuckle plants, and Gu Xingzhou also squatted down to help dig.
"Okay, you dig for herbs, and we'll continue hunting. I'll teach you while we're at it. We won't go back until we have a full tank today."
While they were digging for herbs, Shen Xingci pulled Song Yan aside and began to teach him how to use a bow and arrow.
Song Yan learned very quickly and was able to do it quite well in just a few tries. He seemed to be still in the novice protection zone. While Yang Mumu was digging for angelica, he saw him hunting a pheasant with a bow and arrow.
"You are quite impressive."
Song Yan couldn't hold back and laughed happily, "Haha, Sister Mu, I'm just lucky, and Brother Chen and Brother Zhou taught me well!"
"That's right, no matter who taught me." Shen Xingci said proudly, "Let's go to the next place, the backpack is not full yet."
The group of four continued walking.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them had no more room in their backpacks and sacks, which were filled to the brim with stuff.
Yang Mumu grabbed the person.
"Almost. Let's go back. It will be almost five o'clock if we go back now. We have to go faster because we have to get back to prepare the dinner."
Gu Xingzhou and Shen Xingci who were hunting, and Song Yan who was picking meat still felt a little unsatisfied.
However, the three of them also knew that it was time to go back, and nodded in agreement at the same time:
"Okay, let's go back."
As the four of them turned around and walked back, they heard some noise behind them.
