Taihang Mountain, a dense forest near the western foothills.

In the past, the snow was calm and waveless, but now it was full of people, and a group of ragged teenagers, in groups of three or five, were surrounding a few antelopes that were alarmed by them and showed their traces.

Antelopes are timid by nature and are already easily frightened, and at this time, in the face of so many people, they can only rely on their own speed to run down the hillside towards the place with the least number of people.

It's just that often when the antelope just feels safe and slows down slightly, a few teenagers will suddenly rush out of the oblique thorn, startling the antelope away and driving it in a certain direction.

In this way, several antelopes were chased all the way, without noticing at all, running for so long, making a big circle, and returning to the place where they were found.

The white vapor exhaled from their nostrils became thicker and thicker, their steps became heavier and heavier, and their speed was no longer as fast as it had been before, and their vigilance had become dull, and they did not notice that there were two men with bows and arrows on their sides, and they were already very close to them.

"Whoosh! Sou! The sound of two bows and arrows rang out almost at the same time, and the two antelopes, which had been much slower, fell in response, each with a sharp arrow stuck in their necks, and the blood was steaming and staining the ground red.

The other two were frightened and suddenly accelerated, trying to escape from this place, but they were chased by this just now, and they were obviously powerless, and their speed was not much faster.

As soon as he took a step, two more bowstrings sounded, and two sharp arrows arrived in an instant, mercilessly shooting through the necks of the last two antelopes.

"Good archery." The exclamation sounded, and the two figures swept to the side of the four antelopes that had fallen one after the other, it was Zhiwen and Baqian.

"Running so slowly, if our brothers can't shoot, it will be a shame." The third child was talking lazily, and walked out of the forest with Lao Yan one after the other, not excited.

"Okay, don't say a word, third." Lao Yan stabbed him, "I know it's to train those boys, and what are you complaining about." ”

This is Dingguo's suggestion to Zhiwen, since entering the mountain, every few days, a hunt will be organized.

It is said that it is hunting, except for Lao Yan and Lao San, who each have a pair of bows and arrows, the others still hold ash poles, and a very small number of people are equipped with spear heads, with these weapons, it is actually difficult to hit any prey.

The main purpose is to train the teenagers, to chase prey like this, to practice physical strength, to practice mutual cooperation, to practice alternate cover in high-speed marching, but also to increase the experience of confrontation in this kind of mountain jungle, in short, there are many benefits.

In the end, Lao Yan and the third brother sent the final blow, and the harvested prey could also be used to improve the diet.

It's just that hunting like this, these two people can't help but be a little unhappy, especially the third child, when he finds the prey, he can shoot it with an arrow, and when the prey is chased everywhere, although it is not easy to shoot, it is definitely not difficult.

But you have to wait until you can't run after these prey before you can shoot the bow, which is not challenging at all, and the fun of hunting is completely lost.

"Third child, seeing that you look like you are lacking in interest, why don't we hurry less today, and we won't leave here, you and Lao Yan will go into the mountains by themselves and come back to hunt some prey?" Zhiwen knew the reason why the third child was unhappy, so he thought about letting the two of them have a good time.

"Forget it, just our toss, the living creatures within a radius of several miles have been scared away." The third put away the bow, and went to the antelope to carefully take off the arrow, in this deep mountain, the arrow can not be replenished, if you can save it, try to save it.

Zhiwen laughed, everyone's movement just now was indeed not small, and it was really as the third child said, what animals still dared to stay nearby.

"Did you shoot? Did you shoot? Kewang was impatient to catch up, and after chasing for a long time, it would be a pity if the fragrant meat was gone.

For the sake of this meat, he deliberately changed positions with Dingguo for a few days, and ran from the forward to postpone.

The third child grabbed a handful of snow and was wiping the blood stains on the arrow, and said when he heard the words: "Are you suspicious of me and Brother Yan's archery, Kewang?" ”

"Huh? Hahaha, third brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. Kewang smiled awkwardly, for fear that the third child would be dissatisfied with him because of this, so he hurriedly went over to help the third child wipe the arrow.

Since seeing the archery skills of Lao Yan and Lao San on the road, including Zhiwen, everyone's eyes have been straightened, and they all want to worship his brothers as teachers and learn archery skills.

The two of them are naturally willing to teach, but they lack bows and arrows, and the ones used by his brothers, Kewang, Dingguo, Xiaojie and others can pull them away, but according to them, beginners still use a softer bow first, so as to cultivate feelings.

In addition, Zhiwen also knew that before the human body had fully grown into a fixed shape, too early and a large number of bow-shooting exercises would easily cause permanent deformation of the spine, so the matter was temporarily stopped.

However, Kewang has already decided, once he can learn arrows, he will apprentice to the third child, and he and the third child can talk very well now, for fear that the other party will not teach him in the future.

"Dazhu, it's just in time." Zhiwen was happy that as soon as Kewang came, there was someone to carry the prey.

In the evening, the teenagers happily lit a fire, skinned and cleaned the prey, and were very busy, as if there was a gluttonous feast coming, but in fact there were so many people in the rear team, the four antelopes could only be broken, and boiled into a broth with alfalfa, and distributed to everyone's bowl, and there was no meat at all, just a little meat foam.

But even so, everyone is still very excited, it is not easy to eat a bite of meat now, even if it is a soup with some meat foam, it is very fragrant.

By the time the meat foam soup really reached his mouth, it was already dark, and Ma Er, who had disappeared for a long time, also appeared.

He squeezed to Zhiwen's side and sat down, and whispered excitedly: "Xiao Zhi, Huang Si came back with a message, saying that he had found a place to stay. ”

"Really?!" When Zhiwen suddenly heard this news, he was also a little more inexplicably excited, and finally... Do you want to have a nest?

"Then I'll tell everyone to hurry up tomorrow." After Zhiwen finished speaking, he had to stand up and command loudly.

Ma Eryi grabbed him, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhi, you better listen to the specific situation first." ”

The tone was rather strange, and I didn't know whether it was happy or disappointed.

While the teenagers were all eating and drinking happily around the fire, Zhiwen followed Ma Er into a secluded shack, where a young man was gobbling up food.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw that it was Ma Er, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Ma Er motioned for him to sit down, "Eleven, this is... Brother Zhi, our leader, you will carefully tell us about the situation you have discovered. ”

Eleven drank a bowl of water, swallowed the cake that was still in his mouth, and began to tell in detail about the place they had found.
