Chapter 63 Things are people, not everything
The man said, dropping the rabbit he had hunted in his hand, and then took the sky blue ribbon representing her from Xiao Wanyao's quiver and tied it to the prey's body.
"In this way, you have already shaken the lead, don't hunt anymore for a while, these can win Xue Tianao, and if you have more, you will win Tang Siqi." The man knew everything about Yiqi, and he didn't call Tang Siqi "Shengshang", but called him by his name, without respect.
"I know that." Xiao Wanyao glanced down, there were a total of ten rabbits hunted by him, plus the rabbits she hunted before, it is estimated that there are about twenty, this number is already difficult for ordinary people to do.
"What I want to know is, who are you and why are you helping me?" The man was about to leave, but he heard the sound of a bow behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiao Wanyao was pointing an arrow at him, and the bowstring was almost full.
The man smiled slightly, and said in his heart: This girl is really stubborn, if she doesn't tell her the truth, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave today.
"So unappreciative." The man read a sentence with a wry smile, and then said: "I came this time to repay Miss Xiao Er's life-saving grace, you don't have to doubt me, we have met." ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned slightly, she had to admit that this man made her feel familiar, but no matter what, she just couldn't remember, what went wrong?
Seeing that Xiao Wanyao looked confused, and the bow and arrow in his hand still didn't put it down, the man clasped his hands into fists and reminded: "Outside Jiugong Street, inside the thatched house, three hundred and seventy-five coins for white backs, three coins for oil-free frankincense, one coin for Yunnan mountain tea, and one coin for keel...... Thank you Miss Xiao Er for saving her life! ”
"Three or seven five coins for white back, three coins for oil-removing frankincense, one coin for Yunnan mountain tea, one coin for keel......" Xiao Wanyao silently recited the names of these medicinal materials, which is a prescription for treating Yan zhòng's knife wounds......
It turned out to be him!?
Xiao Wanyao quickly recalled that she was kidnapped by Chen Zhuang on Jiugong Street at that time, and went to a thatched hut not far away, where Chen Zhuang's eldest brother was about to die, because he was a thief, Xiao Wanyao refused to rescue, afraid of bringing trouble to himself, but because of the doctor's parents, he had not hurt Xiao Wanyao, so Xiao Wanyao had no reason to see death and not save him, so he told his brother Chen Zhuang the method and prescription for treating the injury, and then it was life and death, and Xiao Wanyao never had any news of him.
Although I was still a little worried about the man's injury after that, I was helpless.
Xiao Wanyao put down her bow and arrow, she was a little excited in her heart, it turned out that this person was still alive, which meant that Chen Zhuang really did it according to his own method, but it was just ......
"How did you come to this place?" This is what Xiao Wanyao wants to ask.
But the man didn't care about this, he just smiled: "It turns out that Miss Xiao Er still knows me, and it seems that nobles are not necessarily forgetful, such as you." ”
Xiao Wanyao frowned, she always felt that it was a dangerous thing for him to come here, she tried her best to think about things simply, so she said: "This is the royal paddock, not a place where you should come, I remember Chen Zhuang said, you are ......"
"Am I a bandit!" The man didn't think so, didn't look nervous at all, and stood in place leisurely.
"Hurry up and find a way to leave! It's dangerous for you here. Xiao Wanyao said with a straight face, "Since you survived, then cherish your life." ”
The man's smile did not decrease, and he continued: "Miss Xiao Er doesn't have to worry about me, everyone has to save their lives, you just need to do your own thing, it's okay, I can repay your kindness, and I hope you don't embarrass me, I'll leave now." ”
"It's really dangerous, please get out of here quickly." Xiao Wanyao advised him again.
And he just waved his hand and said very casually: "Just take care of yourself, you have your own plan." ”
As he spoke, the man walked back into the woods and quickly disappeared.
Xiao Wanyao frowned and looked at the direction he left for a long time, but she was not relieved, but she was also very helpless, the time was almost up, and she could only leave first.
After getting out of the forest, Xiao Wanyao saw that Tang Siqi was already sitting outside leisurely drinking tea and waiting, and the prey he had obtained had been placed on the flat ground in front of him, Xiao Wanyao silently counted it, there were more than twenty hares tied with yellow ribbons, Xiao Wanyao was relieved, it was impossible to win Tang Siqi.
"How did you come out so early? What about the time for a stick of incense, tired? Or do you have faith in yourself? Tang Siqi said to Xiao Wanyao calmly.
Xiao Wanyao smiled secretly in her heart, no one could guarantee that Tang Siqi's prey was caught by him personally, but there was indeed some arrogance in his personality that Xiao Wanyao knew.
"If you go back to the saint, Wan Yao has done her best, and now she has no strength to continue, so she came out with interest, but it was the saint, how did she come out earlier than Wan Yao?" Xiao Wanyao asked.
Tang Siqi smiled slightly: "Of course, the reason for the widow is different from you, the widow just does what he can, giving everyone a chance to win over the widow." Tang Siqi put down the teacup and continued, "The widow is still very curious, Wanyao, can you shoot a rabbit?" ”
Xiao Wanyao raised the corners of her mouth, Tang Siqi was really despising her, and now she asked Tang Siqi to see her results, although half of them were obtained with the help of others, but she was not as useless as Tang Siqi thought.
"Wan Yao was lucky enough to hunt a few, but she didn't dare to compare with the saint." Xiao Wanyao still said modestly.
After a while, the hunters in the forest came back one after another, and Xue Tianao was also among them, and he was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Wanyao, but he didn't say anything.
"Tianao, come over and tell me how much you have gained today?" Tang Siqi asked.
Xue Tianao walked over unhurriedly, in fact, he didn't do his best, this is a difficult process of choice, he can't help but hit more rabbits than Xiao Wanyao's, and it must be less than Tang Siqi's, so Xue Tianao smiled: "While shooting arrows, Tianao is still counting on the side, no more, no less, a total of nineteen." ”
"Good!" Tang Siqi clapped his hands and continued, "It is worthy of being the son of our Xue family, and I didn't embarrass your sister and aunt." ”
Although Tang Siqi felt that Xue Tianao was not doing his job, he also had to affirm his archery skills, this kid was half-witted in everything, but his archery skills were accurate, and now he could hunt nineteen rabbits in two hours with his own strength, Tang Siqi still really admired it.
Xiao Wanyao didn't know the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't remember how many rabbits were recorded in her name, and now she could only wait for the guards to clear the field in the forest, so she could know what the result was.
After sitting outside the forest with Tang Siqi and his courtiers for a while, many guards soon came out of the jungle with hunted rabbits, and the rabbits or arrows were tied with colorful ribbons.
One after another, these prey were placed on the platform, and Xiao Wanyao silently counted in her heart, Xue Tianao's purple ribbons were nineteen in total......
And then there's the sky blue of its own......
"On the sage, Xue Gongzi has hunted a total of nineteen rabbits, and Miss Xiao Er has a total of nineteen rabbits......" Before the guard finished speaking, everyone present was surprised, everyone felt that this pampered Prime Minister couldn't even pull the bow, let alone a tie with Xue Gongzi!
"Wan Yao, you hit all this?" Tang Siqi didn't believe it either, although he knew that what Xiao Wanyao asked him for was a light bow, and she could completely pull it away, but to have such an accurate archery technique was not something that could be successful after practicing for a day or two.
There are two possibilities, one is that someone is secretly helping her, and the other is that Xiao Wanyao herself will, and has practiced for at least ten years.
In fact, Tang Siqi guessed that there were both possibilities, Xiao Wanyao got the help of a man who was both strange and familiar, and in order to fill her stomach, she had practiced slingshot shooting rabbits for ten years, which not only made her rarely starving, but also invisibly gave herself an extra skill.
It's a pity that Tang Siqi doesn't know, but he is still quite suspicious of Xiao Wanyao.
This result also surprised Xue Tianao, he guessed that the reason why Xiao Wanyao proposed the competition was because she had this ability, but he didn't expect her to be such a powerful person.
"If you go back to the saint, it's true that Wan Yao hunted the rabbit herself." Xiao Wanyao said, "Wanyao grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she is used to being wild, so she likes to play slingshot hunting rabbits and pheasants, one to solve her own food and clothing, and the other is also fun. ”
Xiao Wanyao's explanation is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.
"But now that you and Tianao are tied, and there is not enough time to add one more game, how can you decide the winner?" Tang Siqi asked.
Xiao Wanyao said more intimately: "It's just a game, everyone can have fun, and you don't necessarily have to win or lose." ”
Tang Siqi felt that it was feasible, but Xue Tianao disagreed, and he said coldly: "A game is a game, what's the point of not distinguishing a winner or a loser?" No, you have to settle a match with me today. ”
Originally, Xiao Wanyao didn't have any requirements for him, just don't be difficult for himself, but he still stalked him, which really gave Xiao Wanyao a headache.
"Then according to Xue Gongzi's meaning, how should the winner be divided." Xiao Wanyao asked stubbornly.
Xue Tianao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled evilly, Xiao Wanyao finally accepted the move, so he said unhurriedly: "Most of the hunting relies on archery, I will compare archery with you, can you win two in three games?" ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't fall for him, and said with a smile: "There is a difference between you and me, and now I can't hold a bow and arrow anymore, so naturally I can't compare to Xue Gongzi." ”
Tang Siqi also helped: "Yes, Tianao, let's stop in moderation, there is nothing to be ashamed of in a draw, it has always been difficult for a weak woman to be a big husband." ”
Xue Tianao smiled evilly and said, "It's not difficult, I have another way." ”R1154
