026. Hunting
Chu Yijun and Ling Ran walked along a stream, and soon went up the mountain and into the forest.
At this time, among several large trees not far away, a brown sika deer suddenly jumped past.
Chu Yijun hurriedly reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted gently, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, and put it on the bow in an orderly manner, then aimed at the sika deer and slowly pulled the arrow back.
Ling Ran looked at him sideways without blinking, and then looked at the deer for a while.
I saw Chu Yijun's handsome side face, his resolute black eyes were staring straight at the prey, and suddenly, the light at the bottom of those eyes flashed, and the arrow in his hand left the string and hit the deer's leg steadily.
The deer was frightened, and with a hasty cry, he limped away from the arrow in his leg.
"Good!"
"The prince is good at archery!"
The guards burst into applause.
Chu Yijun smiled and looked at Ling Ran, "This king has already hit its leg, it will not be able to run far, and then it will depend on Madame's ability." ”
"Hmph, what's so hard about this, look at me." As he spoke, Ling Ran took a deep breath and imitated Chu Yijun's appearance, taking arrows, building bows, aiming, and pulling back.
"Bang ——!" The arrow struck the ground ten paces away.
There was the laughter of a few guards behind him, Chu Yijun frowned, turned his head and quickly shook them with a knife in the eye, and those people were immediately silenced.
Ling Ran didn't care what others thought of her, but she was a little unconvinced, pouted slightly, and then pulled out another arrow, aimed at the deer, and shot it.
Still missed. But this time, the place where the arrow fell was much closer to the deer.
"Raise it a little higher," Chu Yijun stood behind Ling Ran and whispered in her ear, "A little higher." ”
Seeing that Ling Ran was still only slightly elevated, Chu Yijun stepped forward and wrapped her around his chest, encircling her left hand holding the bow with one hand and her right hand with the string and arrow with the other, helping her adjust her movements slightly.
His back was a little ambiguously attached to Chu Yijun's back, Ling Ran's ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and suddenly remembered his sentence "I miss you" last night, and his little heart jumped up again without obeying the call, and it was a little difficult to exert his strength in his hands for a while.
It was only when she finally turned her mind back to the arrow, but she heard him whisper in her ear, "Three, two, one, put!" He took a deep breath and let go of the arrow in his right hand.
Seeing that the arrow was really shooting straight in the direction of the deer, everyone held their breath, and then, as expected, the arrow hit the back of the sika deer steadily.
Seeing this, Ling Ran smiled back at Chu Yijun with some joy, but her shocking glance suddenly made Chu Yijun's eyes burn, and Ling Ran turned his head a little embarrassed and looked at the deer.
I saw that although it was hit by another arrow, it just rolled over, got up, and continued to stagger into the deep forest.
Ling Ran turned around and got on the horse deftly, "Let's go, let's go ahead and block it." ”
Chu Yijun hooked the corners of his mouth, "I didn't think that Mrs. would still be 'blocked', not bad," so he also turned on his horse and stretched out his hand forward, "Please ask Mrs. to lead the way." ”
"Hmph, this girl will know more." Ling Ran pouted, and then rode his horse forward in a dashing manner, with a tall and heroic posture.
Chu Yijun looked at her handsome back for a few seconds, but the painting of her disguising herself as a man and talking and laughing freely in the restaurant suddenly flashed in his mind, and only when the figure in front of him suddenly stopped, he came back to his senses and rode his horse to follow.
Ling Ran turned his head and saw Chu Yijun staring at her, and couldn't help but smile evilly, "Yo, it turns out that this girl is so good-looking?" ”
"Of course, where can the king's wife go?"
Listening to Chu Yijun shamelessly praising himself in disguise, Ling Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud, then dismounted, and after standing still, he drew an arrow and shot it at the deer quickly-
Stabilize the deer's belly. This time, it was knocked straight on its side, struggling on all fours.
"Yes, there is progress," Chu Yijun looked approvingly at Ling Ran's coherent movements, and then turned to the guard behind him and said, "You guys go and put it away, it's not too early, we should find the next target." ”
In this way, they stopped and went, and after a few hours, the booty was stuffed with three ** bags, which were carried by the horses of the guards who walked at the end.
Occasionally, they would hear some noise coming from a short distance behind them, but they only thought it was made by an animal in the wild forest, and no one cared.
The sky was getting darker.
Chu Yijun took them to find a small cave by the stream and settled down.
Sitting a little tired on a dead tree in front of the cave, Ling Ran stroked his somewhat hungry stomach, and couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"All of you······ Are you not hungry? ”
"They've gone over there to find wood to make a fire, and Madame will be able to eat roasted game when she waits," one of the guards also chose a tree and sat down with his back to him, "It's really a bumper harvest today, it's been a long time since the prince fought so hard, and sure enough, Madame is different when she comes." ”
"Haha, does the prince often come over to hunt?" Ling Ran was suddenly a little curious.
"I come here a few times a year in the spring and autumn."
"No wonder his archery skills are so good, it turns out that he also practiced it." Ling Ran couldn't help but sigh.
She couldn't help but think of Chu Yijun seriously taking a bow and shooting the sika deer steadily, and then two small blush appeared on her cheeks that she didn't even notice.
"Ran'er, do you miss this king, do you want to be so distracted?" Chu Yijun patted Ling Ran's head and sat down next to her.
Only then did Ling Ran realize that the fire had already been lit in front of her, exuding bursts of warmth.
"Not really." Ling Ran glared at Chu Yijun's narcissistic smile angrily and moved in the direction of the fire.
"Who's that? Tell the king that he will not live until tomorrow. ”
Ling Ran's heart palpitated slightly when he heard this, this prince ······ Do you really like her?
But then she shook her head again, dismissing the very unlikely conjecture.
"Don't say it?" Chu Yijun grabbed her shoulders unhappily and hooked her chin evilly, "Don't say it's not allowed to eat." ”
