"This black horse was collected from the herdsmen, and was brought all the way to the capital by the horse dealers, and the starved ones were only skinny and bones, and they still did not want to let people ride them. The value also fell again and again, but no one bought it, and in the end the horse dealers planned to kill it directly to eat meat, so I couldn't see it, so I just gave some silver to buy it back and put it on the Zhuangzi. ”

Wu Hongling pointed at the black horse with a horsewhip, his face full of helplessness.

"It's wild, and no one will let it ride. I'm still thinking about when my father and brother will go to the border to patrol the border and take this horse away, or put it back on the grassland. ”

When Ran Qiu heard this, the frustration he had originally received from the big black horse suddenly disappeared, and it turned out to be a grassland horse king, no wonder he had such a violent temper.

"It won't let people get close, I'll call two guards from the Zhuangzi to come and stuff it back into the stable, let's go to the forest and join the sisters first."

As soon as Wu Hongling's words fell, she saw that Xiu Gu, who had been following Ran Qiunian, had already grabbed the reins of the big black horse, and locked the big black horse back in the stable with a force that could not be refused.

Although the big black horse didn't let people ride it, maybe it was because he felt the strength of Xiugu, and when he saw that she didn't want to ride herself, he didn't struggle too much.

When the big black horse was locked back in the stable, Xiu Gu stood behind Ran Qiunian again, silently and looked like she had no sense of existence, but this time Wu Hongling didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary servant.

"I didn't expect that Miss Ran's side would have such good skills, and it was really hidden."

Ran Qiunian pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't explain too much, because Wu Hongling didn't know what her brain was making up there.

With the episode of the big black horse just now, this time Ran Qiunian honestly pulled the maroon mare out of the stable next to him.

At the invitation of Wu Hongling, Xiu Gu randomly picked a horse and followed them into the forest to hunt.

Although the maple forest had already been swept by the guards of General Wuwei's family, it was confirmed that there was no danger in it except for some pheasants and hares that were specially placed for them to hunt.

But being able to follow Ran Qiunian and protect her, Aunt Xiu can feel a little more at ease.

Soon, Xiu Gu felt glad that she had agreed to follow Ran Qiunian and them into the mountain together.

After everyone entered the maple forest, they followed the familiar route to beat their horses, and they often rode into the mountains together, and they had already trampled on the outermost maple forest.

"There's a creek up ahead, and if you're lucky, you'll find a lot of stupid rabbits there."

After Wu Hongling finished speaking, he rushed to the creek with Ran Qiunian.

She picked out an arrow from the quiver, the arrow was tightly wrapped in a red cloth, and the sharp arrow was wrapped in it, and the quiver was covered with a layer of powder, and the red arrow was also stained with a layer of white.

Ran Qiunian also has a similar set, except that instead of flour, purple potato flour is spread inside. The rest are also different.

"According to the rules, whoever has the color on the prey is the one who hits, and the others can't fight again, and after the end, count the number, whose color is the most wins, and don't cheat."

After Wu Hongling finished speaking, several people scattered, and Ran Qiunian followed Wu Hongling to the stream she said earlier.

Xiu Gu followed Ran Qiunian without saying a word, and it didn't seem that she had any intention of going out to hunt at all, Wu Hongling only glanced at it, and didn't persuade her to join in.

The three of them rode to the stream together, although it was not the best time for autumn scenery, but the blue maple leaves on both sides of the road were also interesting, and Ran Qiunian's temperament gradually relaxed.

"Look, I didn't expect there to be a windfall."

Wu Hongling pointed to a pheasant that came out of the stream and said with a smile, she quickly took out a long arrow stained with flour from the quiver, and shot straight at the pheasant that seemed to be a little uneasy in the distance.

The arrow missed, and the pheasant was frightened, and scurried towards the depths of the maple forest at great speed.

When Wu Hongling saw it, he immediately hit his horse and chased after him. Ran Qiunian hesitated for a moment, and also chased after him.

The three of them chased after each other to the other side of the maple forest, and when they saw that they were about to leave the forest, they lost the pheasant.

"It's really a disadvantage. How can this pheasant run so fast? ”

After chasing for so long, it was in vain, Wu Hongling shook the bow and arrow in his hand a little unhappily.

"Miss Wu, where is this?"

Ran Qiunian didn't care if she caught up with the prey, she stopped her horse and looked at the forest curiously, vaguely at the end of the maple forest, not far away was a Zhuangzi, which looked very prosperous.

"How did you get here?"

Wu Hongling followed Ran Qiunian's line of sight, recognized where this was, and couldn't help frowning.

"That's a money village, there's nothing to see, let's go back quickly, it's too late for the prey to be marked by them."

"How can a money bank be opened in such a remote place?"

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be a little curious.

"For it is a place where the rich and the rich, who have received large sums of money, will of course be built in this hidden place. Fortunately, there is enough place for them to hide their silver. ”

This is a bit unusual, Ran Qiu Nian wanted to ask again, but seeing that Wu Hongling was not interested, he had to stop and say no more, and the three of them turned their horses and walked back.

I didn't go far before I heard the sound of leaves rubbing.

"Wait, something isn't right." Xiu Gu suddenly spoke.

At first, Ran Qiunian and the others didn't notice anything wrong, they just thought that it was windy today, and it was most normal for the maple leaves to rub and make some noise.

But soon, Xiu Gu calmly pulled out a long arrow stained with black powder from the quiver, and knocked down a poisonous snake spitting stars from the branch.

The snake was hit by a tightly wrapped long arrow, and its body was stained with a black patch in the shape of a round spot, and after it fell to the ground, it quickly continued to crawl in the direction where Ran Qiunian and the others were.

It was clear that this thing was not the domestic "prey" they had put into the woods for recreation today.

Because Wu Hongling's face also changed, he pulled out the long arrow from the quiver, and removed the tightly wrapped red cloth from it neatly with his hands and feet, and it took a long time to finally expose the sharp arrow.

The long arrow took the bow and went straight into the seven inches, nailing the twisted poisonous snake to the ground.

"How could a venomous snake appear in the maple forest?"

After Wu Hongling killed the snake, he was about to get off the horse to check it, but was stopped by Xiugu.

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

After Xiu Gu finished speaking, she also learned Wu Hongling's movements before, took out the arrows in the quiver, and pulled the tight red cloth tied on it with great difficulty.

It's a pity that it was already a little too late, as the poisonous snake was killed, there were constantly hissing sounds coming from the trees and grass, and soon several more snakes appeared as far as Ran Qiu could see.

There are also non-venomous snakes, which look messy, but it also shows that these poisonous snakes are definitely not here by chance.

"Damn, who put all this in?"

Wu Hongling laboriously pulled the red cloth tightly wrapped on the arrows, they have always hunted for fun, and they don't like to kill indiscriminately, so the arrows used for hunting are all wrapped in red cloth, and there is no sharpness at all.

In order to be safe, the maple grove will send a minifigure to carefully search before each safari to confirm that there is no danger inside, and then put docile animals such as domestic rabbits and pheasants as prey.

There seemed to be no inappropriate arrangement from the past, but at this time, Wu Hongling regretted it.

Seeing that there were more poisonous snakes, they were about to force their feet, and the horses under the crotches of several people also stamped their feet.

A sharp hidden arrow shot from behind Wu Hongling, nailing a poisonous snake that was about to bite the horse's leg to the ground.

Wu Hongling turned her head sweating profusely and saw Ran Qiunian slowly retract her right hand tied with a sleeve arrow.

"Thank you, I didn't expect Miss Ran to carry a sleeve arrow."

Ran Qiunian touched the sleeve arrow tied to his arm, glad he brought it, but he was still worried: "I only have five arrows, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket." ”

"I'll deal with them, and the two young ladies will see the opportunity to rush out in a moment."

Xiu Gu looked at more and more snakes with a sinking face, simply threw aside the cumbersome arrows in the quiver, turned over and dismounted, and in Ran Qiunian's exclamation, pulled out a sharp dagger from her leg and stabbed straight down at the snakes that surrounded her.

"Master Xiu Gu be careful!"

Ran Qiunian saw that Xiu Gu rushed into the group of snakes without making a sound, and was immediately in a hurry, these snakes looked like someone had deliberately placed them here, and they didn't know why they had been gathering and refused to disperse.

"Miss Ran be careful, why are all those snakes gathering towards you?"

Wu Hongling didn't have any sharp weapons on her body, so she could only sit on the horse and be anxious, and she struggled to pick up the remaining arrows in the quiver, while watching anxiously.

She saw that Ran Qiunian was worried about Xiugu, and she didn't care about cleaning up the nearby snakes for a while, so she muttered casually, but it made Ran Qiunian have some guesses.

"I didn't notice it, but now it seems that these snakes were really attracted to me."

Ran Qiunian gritted her teeth, looked at the backs of Xiu Gu and Wu Hongling's difficult response, tried to mobilize the jujube marre, which was already extremely uneasy, and stepped back.

Those snakes really followed the place where Ran Qiunian retreated, and she was really hit by her.

"Miss, look at what's on you! Throw it away. ”

Although Xiu Gu was tired of dealing with the snakes one after another, her ears always paid attention to Ran Qiunian's movements, and when she heard the words, she immediately raised her voice to remind.

The things on Ran Qiunian's body were all brought from the General's Mansion, and even this dress was her own, so there could be no problem, unless...... Unless it was when he was changing clothes in the Zhuangzi, he didn't pay attention to what was put in.

"Is it the potato flour in the quiver?"

Ran Qiunian picked up the arrow straddling the horse's back in disbelief, and after she changed into her riding clothes from the room that Zhuangzi had arranged for her, a servant who served there handed her this.

Other than that, Ran Qiunian didn't have anything outside on him.

Coming all the way just now, Ran Qiunian was inevitably stained with the smell of potato flour, so he simply reached out and twisted it from the bottom of the quiver without hesitation, and sprinkled it on the open space next to him.

In the next moment, more than a dozen snakes pounced on it to cover the scattered potato flour tightly.

"Sure enough."

Ran Qiunian gritted his teeth.
