Text Chapter 65: Deer Shooting
I heard that the children were going to hunt in the back mountains, and Qi Hengxing, who had basically recovered, changed his clothes and wanted to join.
A group of children led by Qi Yue, all dressed in hunting suits and holding bows and arrows, stood in a circle and arranged each other's clothes and tools.
A few girls didn't change their clothes, but just joined in the fun.
Hunting is naturally a pleasure. Romantic stimulation, show skills, develop wisdom, exercise the body.
Several brothers, who had already started a family and were busy with the affairs of the stockade, were also invited to come in full gear. There are also a few older sisters who are hiding in the boudoir to learn needlework.
There were more than 20 sons and daughters of Qi Hengxing, and a large group stood in the teaching field, attracting attention.
The head of the sect, Shi Yuqing, arrived with a bow and arrow, and he was fully responsible for the children's hunting safety and helped with the hunting.
It is impossible to drive on the mountain, and Qi Hengxing can only ride horses. Like the children, several of the guards walked together.
Qi Hengxing was refreshed and greeted the children from afar.
"Kids, are you ready?"
"Father, auspicious! We're ready. ”
"Uncle auspicious! Xiao Ya'er also participates. Dou Ya'er ran over out of breath.
Dou Ya'er didn't change into a hunting outfit, but just wore an old cyan dress.
"Bud, your clothes are inconvenient to walk in the grass. Don't you have a hunting suit?"
"Back to my uncle, Xiao Ya'er has a hunting suit, but she doesn't want to wear it. ”
"You don't have a weapon, how can you strike your prey?"
"Back to uncle, if Xiao Ya'er finds prey, tell everyone immediately, and let everyone hunt together, wouldn't it be more lively?"
"You little bud, you always talk and act differently than your brothers and sisters. ”
Dou Ya'er said in her heart, who gave me the surname Dou.
Qi Hengxing thought to himself, could it be said that a surname can change a life?
The hunting party drove into the mountains, and Shi Jiaotou ordered everyone to separate.
Dou Ya'er broke a branch of the trunk, removed the forks and leaves, held it in his hand, and waited with Qi Yue Wanda to help him find his prey.
The terrain is steep, the grass is dense, and they dismount and walk in the middle, and they line up with everyone to move forward, startling countless birds.
Dou Ya'er took a branch and whipped in front of him, which alarmed the animal and opened the way.
A pheasant suddenly flew up from under his feet, and Qi Hengxing held his bow and arrows and aimed at it without firing the arrow, leaving the opportunity to the children.
The frightened pheasant "clucked" and glided forward, and several feathered arrows flew in front of and behind him.
"Didn't hit. It's just a little bit. ”
"I was so accurate, why didn't I miss?"
"Fawn! Look there's a fawn there. Dou Ya'er said, pointing at the fawn in the distance with a branch.
He sighed, "It's a pity that it's too far, otherwise, it must be mine." ”
"Blow! With your kung fu, you can't even shoot through a deerskin. ”
Glancing at Qi Hengxing, who was separated by several people, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Dou Ya'er's heart. If there was no one on the mountain, if I was about to bend my bow and release my arrows, and the prey in front of me suddenly changed to my uncle, would I not hesitate?
"Mom!"
When Dou Yaer was bold and delusional, she stepped on a frightened rabbit. Instinctively screaming and jumping.
The rabbit ran away, shackled in the grass, and jumped up from time to time.
Qi Yue, Yida and several brothers took arrows and drew bows at the same time, aiming accurately.
He and a big brother fired arrows at the same time, but neither of them missed.
Qi Yue was unhurried, and the arrow kept pointing slightly ahead of the swing of the grass, waiting for the best opportunity.
Dou Ya'er simply stood still, "Brother Yue, don't forget what you promised me." ”
"Look at the arrows!"
Just when the rabbit jumped up again, Qi Yue and Wanda released arrows at the same time, and one of them hit, and the rabbit fell down and never jumped up again.
"Good bow!" Dou Ya'er went to harvest.
"I shot it!" Wanda ran for joy, tripped over the grass.
Hearing the shout, Qi Hengxing looked over from a distance and was very happy to see Dou Ya'er carrying a rabbit.
"Hey, who's so good at bowing?"
"Father, it's me, it's Wanda. ”
Dou Ya'er didn't follow, and corrected: "Uncle, it's not Wanda, it's Brother Yue." ”
It doesn't matter whose prey it is, what matters is that the children have mastered the art of archery. However, Qi Hengxing still hoped that Qi Yue shot it.
Dou Ya'er took the rabbit and waited for Qi Yue and Wanda to come over, Qi Yue saw that it was his own arrow, and he didn't say much.
"Give it to me!" Wanda snatched the rabbit from Dou Ya'er's hand, pulled out the arrow, and said, "Not much." I aimed at the heart and shot in the neck. Hey. ”
Dou Ya'er said angrily: "Wanda, you slander people." This arrow..."
"It's really Wanda's. Qi Yue handed Dou Ya'er a look and said, "Whose prey is with it." Keep moving. ”
The rabbit was fat, and it was very difficult to carry, and from time to time, Wanda fell behind, so she had to tell the truth.
"Wait, wait for me! I was mistaken, this arrow is not mine. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's yours. Qi Yue deliberately said yes, he wanted Wanda to carry the rabbit all the time, and then distinguish the arrows when he got home.
"If you don't want anyone else, I'll throw it away, but I don't want it anyway. ”
Dou Ya'er was secretly happy, "Take it." I'm going to. No repudiation is allowed. ”
Taking the rabbit, Dou Ya'er said to Qi Hengxing in the distance: "Uncle, send someone to help me get the rabbit." ”
Wanda immediately regretted it, patted her head, knowing that there were chasers, why didn't I think of it?
Seeing the huge lineup of one-line hunting, the deer in the distance may have looked at it for a long time out of curiosity, and actually came slowly tentatively.
Because on the high slopes of the mountain, everyone saw it, and they all wanted to come over quickly and become their prey to be in the limelight.
"Brother Yue, assuming that the fawn is within your range, will you release the arrow without thinking?"
The problem is special. Qi Yue thought about it for a moment and replied, "If it's for fun, I'll raise my bow and aim at it and let it go." But today, we are hunting, we are competing for skills, and as long as it dares to come and prove that it ignores me, I will not hesitate to shoot it. ”
"So, Qin'er is the one you and Brother Yuan are fighting for, will you keep going?"
"At least hold on until the day she gets married! Xiao Ya'er, in my opinion, you and your Brother Yuan also have that meaning, why are you not making fast progress? Is it your Brother Yuan who is stepping on two boats?"
"The main thing is that he can't forget Qin'er. Brother Yue, you have to work hard. ”
"You elf ghost, let me chase Qin'er is also helping you, and you often scratch me with news. Look at my brother, in order to get you two rabbits, call such a huge team to come and search the mountain. ”
"yes. Brother Yue, you are so amazing! Even my uncle was sick and participated. ”
One brother shouted, "Father, the boy has caught a chicken, shall we?"
"Let it go. Qi Hengdao, "The pheasant has a strong temperament and high vigilance, and if he doesn't eat the rice sent, he will starve to death if he brings it back." Let it go, let it grow well, and when it grows up, we'll catch it again. ”
The pheasant that had not been shot by a few people before clucked and flew up again.
Because everyone had already prepared for it, this time the pheasant was not so lucky, and was shot by three arrows at the same time, and with a scream, the feathers flew with the sound, and fell like a sinking stone.
Qi Hengxing said happily: "The children are good at bowing! Only by strengthening practice at ordinary times can you win by surprise when you encounter a situation." There are still many big things to do in the future Qijia Village, and it is inevitable to fight, whether it is peacetime training or actual combat exercises, every shot and every target will be regarded as an enemy. Look, there's an arrogant fawn on the western slope that dares to ignore our Qi army. Ignoring the Qi family is a symbol of destruction! The team is scattered, and we encircle it. ”
Shi Yuqing immediately deployed the formation, and the children dispersed at the order, quickly surrounding them in a C-shaped formation.
Leaving a few people to take care of the owner of the village, Shi Yuqing led a soldier to quickly go around the rear of the fawn and intercept its retreat.
Wanda was young and couldn't catch up with the formation, crying out and wanting to fall behind.
"Wanda, hurry up!" Qi Yue said sternly, "If you fall behind at a very moment, you will never lose your father's love, and you will never want to stand up in our hearts again!"
Wanda cried. Stumbling and catching up.
Dou Ya'er was hung by the jujube thorn and torn her pants, and she didn't dare to make a sound. I thought to myself, what if Brother Yuan was by his side, what would happen if I told him?
The hunting circle is gradually shrinking.
Shi Yuqing and the soldier also arrived at the predetermined position.
The fawn became alert. Look around for a safe exit.
"Wanda, give the bow and arrow to my sister, and my sister will hold it for you. ”
"No! Thank you, sister. I was worried about losing my weapon, and my father blamed my brothers for ridicule. ”
Seeing that everyone was full of energy and eyeing each other, Dou Ya'er was also on a whim, unwilling to miss the opportunity, and regretted it as soon as she said it, because Qiao Shan's old monster did not allow her to expose her martial arts in front of any Qi family. Fortunately, Wanda didn't agree.
Shi Yuqing on the opposite side raised his bow and arrows, seemingly aiming at the deer, but in fact, he was aiming at Qi Hengxing. There was no intent to kill. The distance is also out of range.
Large circles have been formed.
The fawn looked and began to move.
"Toot ------"
Shi Yuqing sounded the horn of the attack.
Suddenly, more than 20 people raised their bows one by one and quickened their pace.
The circle is shrinking rapidly. Those who are anxious have already raised their bows and arrows and are ready to strike first.
The fawn began to panic, barked a few times, and spun in place to lose his claim.
Suddenly, the big doe rushed into the encirclement from between Shi Yuqing and the soldier, and went straight to the little deer.
The unarmed soldier shouted urgently, "Leader, shoot quickly!"
Shi Yuqing did not raise his bow. He understood that it was pointless for him to hunt ten prey on this occasion.
Seeing that the mother was coming, the fawn greeted her.
The doe covers the fawn and turns around and flees.
Although Shi Yuqing was reluctant to hunt the mother and son in person, this was hunting after all, and together with the soldiers, he wanted to drive all the two deer into the middle of the encirclement.
The doe barked, also showing the way to the fawn, running back and forth in front of the nearest bow and arrow, and was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, and was not afraid, still using her life to attract the arrows to cover the child.
The fawn understood her mother's intentions and boldly and stubbornly fled from where the doe had entered.
The pawn chased a few steps and tripped over the grass, "Sect leader, we let go of the deer, the owner of the village won't reprimand, right?"
"Leave him alone. As a hunter, hunting juvenile animals is a symbol of incompetence. ”
Seeing that the child had escaped safely, the doe had already received two arrows in the buttocks when she wanted to turn back.
Seeing that Shi Jiaotou refused to shoot, the children couldn't shoot the vital parts, and faced the doe to escape, they all jumped high and took off, and took arrows from the air, drew their bows, and released arrows in one go.
Before most people could see it, the arrow had shot through the doe's throat.
The doe stumbled and fell down a few steps, her hooves pushing hard and unable to move her body, her mouth kept open but there was no sound, and she looked up with all her might to see the direction of the child's escape.
Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
The eyes are blue, as clear as the sea, as transparent as the sky...
Mother's love is so great! so great that it can surpass life!
Everyone cheered together and praised the incomparable bow method of Qi Hengxing.
Qi Hengxing coughed a few times and asked to go back.
Dou Ya'er cried quietly, because of the dead doe, because of the lonely fawn...
