Chapter 16: The Roe Deer Hunt

"So good! Wall, let's go! ”

After Yu's mother and son left, Chen Shuling's face was gloomy, she stood beside Lin Xiu, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she said softly: "Brother Xiu, I don't care what your fame is, I just want to leave this house early!" ”

"Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely marry you!" When he said this, Lin Xiumu's firmness was even more resolute and rigid than that of the martial artists in the northern frontier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

……

Unconsciously returned to the hometown has been more than a month, the morning dew has not dispersed, all the sounds are silent, the sky is bright, the night is about to disappear, the dawn of the morning light slowly awakens the sleeping creatures, although it is already the middle of June, but the chill in the breeze still seems to permeate the entire land, just for Lin Xiu, Li Hu, Zhao Yuan, this season is the roe deer out of the hole foraging, hunting and galloping season.

In the upper valley grassland to the north of the water, three figures are stepping on the grass like flying arrows, and the three fat big yellow dogs are shaking their tongues full of saliva, desperately chasing the stupid roe deer who fled in panic more than 20 meters ahead.

"Rhubarb, two yellows, three yellows, give the tiger master."

Li Hu held a long whip in his hand, shouting loudly at his own yellow dog, and after the three brothers of the yellow dog, who were already desperate, received the order from their master, they increased their speed by three points and flew towards the roe deer.

It's a pity that the roe deer's life is in crisis, how can he not stick out his tongue and run away? Said late, it was fast, the yellow dog turned into a spear and flew up, seeing that the roe deer was going to damage the dog's teeth, he didn't want the roe deer to turn sideways with a sharp brake, the three yellow dogs collided together, rolled into a ball, and the roe deer took this opportunity to flee again, this result made Li Hu cry out for pity, but Zhao Yuan, who had been silent, actually quickly gained a foothold in the gallop, let the back of the waist to accumulate strength, both hands drew the bow and arrows, pointing to the roe deer that was getting farther and farther away.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu shouted: "Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for two years, and you actually opened a three-stone longbow, so my two brothers will compete!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan's anger did not disperse, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly closed, his eyes and feather arrows matched, and Lin Xiu immediately stopped and stepped forward, and quickly took off the weak crown gift that Lin Mao gave him from his shoulders - two stone short bows, put on a goose feather arrow, and aimed at the stupid roe deer in the distance in an instant.

"Whoosh, whoosh" one before and one after two sounds, two streamers quickly pierced the air and rushed forward, although Lin Xiu was faster than Zhao Yuan to move his fingers to release the bow, but the long bow was stronger than the short bow, so the feather arrow was faster, and Zhao Yuan's feather arrow was an inch longer than Lin Xiu's, and with a tail mark, the piercing arrow pierced the air, instantly caught up with the stupid roe deer, and directly pierced the roe deer's body, a little wrong, Lin Xiu's feather arrow arrived, but the roe deer had already pounced forward, and his feather arrow grazed the roe deer's butt to draw an arc and insert it into the wet and loose soil.

"Ah Xiu, I won!" Zhao Yuan put down his longbow and turned to look at Lin Xiu, his big dark face blooming with a strange brilliance at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Hu's mouth was wide open and he could almost stuff a goose egg, although he and Zhao Yuan were in Linshui Village, and the two would meet sooner or later, but he never thought that Zhao Yuan, who could only strike iron, would be able to beat Lin Xiu, who was studying at Shengde Academy, in archery.

Lin Xiu smiled at Zhao Yuan, walked in front of him and reached out to take the longbow at his feet, intending to try his hand, but a heavy feeling came from his hand.

"Brother Yuan, these three-stone longbows are not light, if you don't have two hundred catties of strength, it will be a problem to open the bow!" Saying that, Lin Xiu stretched his bow and pulled the arrow, but it was not as light and casual as Zhao Yuan.

"Ah Xiu, I strike iron every day, and I haven't practiced anything else, so I can practice this strength! If you can't pull it away, these two years will be really in vain! Taking the longbow from Lin Xiu's hand, Zhao Yuan's expression became darker and darker: "This bow was left to me by my father, and at that time, my father was looking forward to the day when I could stalemate and earn some glory for my Li family, but I didn't expect those dog officials to do this... In this way, what kind of soldiers do I have, what country do I protect..."Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan already lost his hatred: "One day, I will use it to kill those bastards and horse thieves and avenge my father!" ”

At this moment, Lin Xiu knew that he had inadvertently touched Zhao Yuan's scar, and he was very annoyed that he was so uninteresting, but Li Hu on the side had already called over, and the yellow dog had already taken the roe deer in front of him, so he smiled: "Look at this roe deer fat, Brother Yuan, Brother Xiu, we are going to have a big meal today." ”

Subsequently, Li Hu held a short knife, the tip of the knife danced like a streamer, but after a breath, this roe deer had been skinned and disemboweled under Li Hu's knife, next to it, Lin Xiu and Zhao Yuan set out to collect firewood and make a fire, and half an hour later, the fragrance of roe deer meat had wafted out of the air.

By the fire, the three of them sat on the ground, and several yellow dogs frolicked with each other not far away, occasionally looking at their owners and looking for some minced meat to fill their stomachs.

"Brother Xiu, how long will it take for you to finish the entrance exam, this Linshui is without you, it's like missing a soul, we are not happy all day!" Li Hu devoured the roe deer meat and said vaguely.

"More than a year, if it goes well, I will go to Kyoto next year to try the Beijing exam, but from the mouths of the two school friends I have met, this Beijing exam is no fun for me!" Lin Xiu said to herself.

Zhao Yuan put down the piece of meat, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Why do you say that?" Ah Xiu, you are the head of the students in the four cities and twenty-eight counties of the Northland, and the hundreds of thousands of people are behind you, could it be that those officials are blind and can't see your piece of fine jade? ”

"Brother Yuan, Shinong businessman, class noble, although I was lucky to get the top prize in the county examination, but my family was a businessman, and I also added half a business word to my plain body, which is in the eyes of the family, that is the end of the person, to say nearby, Shuling and I grew up since childhood, childhood sweethearts, two little no guesses, Uncle Chen and my father formed an in-law at the beginning, but now the Yu family is so obstructive, isn't it disgusting my background?"

"That old withered and yellow-faced woman is really disgusting!"

Li Hu swallowed the meat in his mouth, scolded fiercely, there is a root in such a scolding, Li Hu's family as a waterfront butcher, the reputation is quite good, this Chen Mansion is also his family's old patron, every festival Li Hu will personally send meat to the Chen Mansion, once met the Yu family went out to return home, Li Hu was bright, leaned over to say hello, but the Yu family did not look at Li Hu, in front of the face of several servants in the Chen Mansion lost his face, although Li Hu is a butcher, but she is a woman who put on a shelf bigger than Chen Yu, and no one can swallow that bad breath.

"That's it, that's it!" Lin Xiu didn't want the three brothers to be distracted by the things outside, so he opened his mouth to stop the fire in the hearts of Li Hu and Zhao Yuan, and then the three of them staggered and called loudly, and the roar full of pride echoed in the heaven and earth.

As the sun set, Lin Xiu and the three of them returned to the village, after separating at the entrance of the village, Lin Xiu walked home, and when passing by the village school, Lin Xiu remembered that he had studied here, so he walked to the school to be nostalgic.
