Zhang Orion and Han Yan did not return from fighting until the sun was waning.

Shu Yu was collecting the quilt to dry in the yard, and from a distance, he saw the two of them riding on horses, returning from the twilight of the sunset, and the harvest was very fruitful, so he hurriedly carried the quilt into the house and walked out quickly.

When she opened the courtyard gate to welcome her out, Zhang Orion and Han Yan also rode their horses to the front.

Only then did Shu Yu see that the two of them immediately each had a few colorful pheasants, a long list of hares, and two strong and fat badgers, and looked up and smiled in surprise: "Dad, Brother Han, you have gained a lot from going out this time!" ”

She is confident that her riding and archery skills are also first-class in Badger Village, but whenever she goes out hunting with her father, she rarely has such a fruitful harvest.

Shu Yu looked up, and found that the smile on his father's face was a little reluctant, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

With such a fruitful harvest, what is there to be unhappy about? Could it be that something happened on the way?

Shu Yu was puzzled, but he didn't ask anything, and immediately turned sideways and let the two of them come in to unload the prey.

Han Yan replied with a smile when he turned over and dismounted: "I was lucky today, I didn't go far before I encountered the beast tracks, so I didn't bother looking for it." ”

Hunting depends not only on skill, but also on luck.

If you can't find any traces of the beast, no matter how good your archery skills are, it's useless.

Shu Yuran nodded and followed the two into the courtyard.

On the east side of the yard, there is a compacted flat land, and there is also a large bluestone on it, which is the place where the Zhang family handles prey every day.

Zhang Lihu and Han Yan led the horses to where they first and unloaded the prey.

Shu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help, sorting and stacking pheasants, hares and badgers.

When Zhang Li heard the movement, he also came out of the stove room to help, wiped the water stains on his hands on the apron, looked at the mountains of prey, and smiled in surprise: "You guys are lucky today, I think the rabbit meat alone is enough to eat for a long time!" ”

Looking closer, there were still badgers, Zhang Li hurriedly squatted down, stretched out his hand and turned over, only to see that the two badgers were fatal with one blow, and the wounds were all in the throat, the fur was intact, and the smile was even bigger.

When she looked up, she smiled at her husband and praised: "Your accurate head is getting better and better, such a complete badger fur is really rare!" When these two furs are cleaned up, I can make a new fur for Xiao Wangzhi for the winter! ”

Zhang Orion's expression became more and more depressed when he heard this, and he hung his head and sighed repeatedly.

"This is a compliment to you, what are you sighing about?" Zhang Li was inexplicable and looked at her husband in surprise.

Shu Yu thought of the dejected appearance of his father when he came back before, and he didn't understand how to look at the past.

Zhang Orion hesitated and struggled for a long time, but he couldn't hold it back, pointed to Han Yan and said to his wife and daughter with a puzzled face: "Which is my accuracy getting better and better...... These two badgers were beaten by virtuous nephews......"

Zhang Li and Shu Yu turned their heads in amazement when they heard this, and their eyes were full of disbelief when they looked at Han Yan.

Han Yan, a handsome scholar, can hunt so well?

Seeing that he had already said it, Zhang Orion simply broke the jar, drooped his head, shook his head and sighed: "Not only these two badgers, but also the pheasant and the hare, many of which were also beaten by virtuous nephews......"

He was still aiming, and Han Yan had already raised his hand and released an arrow to kill him, "fast, ruthless, and accurate" so that he didn't give him a chance to react at all!

At first, he applauded and encouraged Han Yan's "good luck", but later, he found that Han Yan's arrows were all missing, and he was completely real, and his self-confidence was suddenly seriously hit, and the whole person was stunned.

When he came to his senses, he was left with only depression.

"Ah, you see, whoever is killed with one blow like these two badgers is almost all beaten by virtuous nephews." Zhang Orion simply squatted down, rummaged through the wounds of the pheasants and hares, and showed them to his wife and daughter.

Zhang Li and Shu Yu counted roughly and accounted for nearly half of them, and they couldn't help but look at Han Yan in surprise and admiration.

Zhang Orion continued to "expose his own shortcomings", and sighed: "There are also these ......who were hit by two or three arrows, and there are also those who I didn't shoot, and the virtuous nephew later helped to make up for the arrows."

In short, he was supposed to be the main force of this hunting, but today he has completely become the foil of the observer Han Yan.

This contrast is really too big for people to accept for a while.

This kid is better at drinking than him, even hunting is better than him!

What about his temperament as a scholar?!

"Brother Han, you are really amazing!" Shu Yu gave Han Yan a thumbs up and praised in amazement.

Zhang Li was also amazed.

Han Yan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a humble smile: "Uncle Zhang has an overreputation, it was my luck that I happened to meet these two badgers when I acted separately. If Uncle Zhang was there at the time, it would definitely be like beating those wild pheasants and hares, and he would have to share most of the work. ”

Zhang Orion was willing to gamble and lose, shook his head and sighed when he heard the words, and said frankly: "Even if we meet those two badgers together, I may not be able to win it, let alone kill it with one blow like you......"

Only the fur of a badger with an inconspicuous wound on the neck, and the fur of a badger that has been shot into a sieve, is worth a far difference.

Although he was a little depressed, he had to admit that Han Yan's archery skills were really powerful.

Thinking of this, Zhang Orion suddenly became curious, grabbed Han Yan and asked, "Didn't the virtuous nephew study and start a career in the capital before?" How can you be so good at riding and archery? Which master taught it? ……”

A series of questions made Han Yan's heart feel slightly cold, but he still replied with a humble smile on his face: "I am studying to prepare for a career." But when he was young, he was stubborn, and he climbed trees and fished with his neighbors to fight, and he was also very honest.

"Later, I learned some boxing, foot riding and archery kung fu from the master of the nearby martial arts hall, and I didn't fall behind in daily practice, year after year, I unconsciously practiced it."

These arguments have been thought of after he decided to hunt and show his hand.

The badger village is hundreds of miles away from the capital, and the old and young in the village have lived here for generations, and the capital is like a place that only exists in the story for them.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Orion heard Han Yan say this, he immediately patted his head with relief, and said with a smile: "It turned out that it was taught by the military attache master in the capital, I can't complain so much!" ”

The capital is the imperial capital, where the emperor lives, everything is the best, and of course the military attaché's master is also.

Zhang Li also nodded suddenly, and praised Han Yan with a smile for "both civil and military".

Shu Yu laughed with him, but he was quite unimpressed.
