872. Chapter 872
"If you want to borrow my knife, you'd better have some real skills."
I glanced to the side, and the two little children were already running away on horseback, talking and laughing, and didn't seem to notice what we were doing, I looked back at Losh: "What do you want?" ”
"If you want to borrow my knife, you can also let me see what you are capable of!" As he spoke, he raised his bow and pointed to the dense woods in front of him, saying, "This is where my usual hunting ground is. Now let's go in, and whoever catches the most prey in an hour will win. ”
I frowned: "You let me compare this with you?" ”
"Don't worry, I won't be defeated. You and Yuan Xiu—" he said, looking at Li'er who had already run away from the corner of his eye, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Add that girl." Three of you, one for me. Prey is large and small, and the arrows are marked. What you can get is the result! ”
My brow furrowed even tighter.
My riding and archery is not completely inadequate, and of course it can't be considered good, and Pei Yuanxiu-I glanced at him who had been faint. Their royal family originally entered the customs from the north, and the princes also had to learn to ride and shoot since they were young, after all, he had been a prince, and his skills in this area should not be too bad.
But, even so, the two of us faced off against Losh - there was no chance of winning!
Losh sneered: "Think you can't win? You can call your allies too. ”
I was stunned for a moment, he was already sneering and looking at the grass pavilion next to him.
Liu Qinghan had been sitting there talking to Huang Tianba about something, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at us.
The atmosphere here is already a bit tense, but the grass pavilion is quiet, especially the way he looks at us, it is very clean.
I immediately frowned: "No! ”
Pei Yuanxiu immediately glanced at me, and I didn't say any more.
I had already promised Yuan Xiu last night that I would keep my distance from him, and I couldn't ask too much about him. However, Luo Shi's move is really vicious, Liu Qinghan still has a knife wound on his shoulder, and riding a horse and archery is the most powerful with his shoulder, so his injury will be more severe.
And - what if there were other dangers in the jungle?
Liu Qinghan stood up and said calmly to Luo Shi: "This mansion is injured, even if you join in, it will only be a burden to them." I also hope that the prince will be merciful. ”
With that, he sat down.
Losh snorted coldly: "Bad seeds." Then he looked at Huang Tianba beside him, although his eyes were fierce, he didn't say anything more.
At this time, Pei Yuanxiu said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's not waste time." ”
The three of them galloped all the way, and after a while, the dense forest was already in front of me, and just as I tightened the reins and was about to rush in, Pei Yuanxiu's horse slowed down, turned around, and looked at me without saying anything.
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Qingying, you-don't go."
"Why?"
"This kind of thing, just leave it to me."
“……”
"I don't know what will be in this kind of forest."
Looking at his worried look, my heart warmed, but I still smiled: "It's okay, I can help." Besides, if you have horses and arrows, are you still afraid that I will suffer? ”
As he spoke, Rosh had already ridden into the woods, and was immediately gone.
I hurriedly said, "Go ahead." We still have to fight! ”
"But—"
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, I couldn't wait to ride forward, and said, "Don't you often say that we are husband and wife? ”
“……”
I glanced back at him: "You don't know, "Husband and wife are concentric, and their benefits are broken?" ”
A twinkle of joy crossed his face when he heard this, and I laughed and rode into the woods.
The woodland here is extraordinarily lush, with dense foliage overhead shading the day, only a little light letting in, and occasionally a few birdsong sounding, making the woods more and more secluded.
After a short time into the forest, we went our separate ways.
The horse's hooves clattered through the dense foliage.
Maybe it was because I had encountered a tiger in the Juma Valley before, and even though I knew afterwards that it was just a pre-arranged show, it still left some shadows on me. Although he praised "Haikou" before, walking in such a dense forest, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
There was silence all around.
Just as I was looking around, suddenly, with a swish above my head, I looked up and saw that a bird had been hit by an arrow, and fell down, and through the bushes, I saw the Roshzes horse running in front of me, and as soon as I bent down, I picked it up and put it on the saddle, and then I pulled out the arrow from my back without stopping, and went after the wild deer in front of me.
He's amazing!
I'm not good at riding and shooting, and I can still see the good or bad, so I really don't have much chance of winning with Pei Yuanxiu.
No, you can't just give up.
Thinking of this, I also pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind my back and put it on the bow, one hand clenched, and the other hand slowly shook the reins and moved forward slowly.
At this moment, I was attracted by the sound of a strange soo in front of me.
I cautiously brushed aside the leaves in front of me to see a gray badger pulling something at the root of the tree in front of me, digging out a lot of dirt and piling it up behind me. And it didn't notice its surroundings at all, and was still concentrating on pulling.
It's an opportunity!
I hurriedly let go of the reins, put my hands on my bow, and aimed the tip of the arrow at the badger.
I didn't have much strength to pull the bow to the fullest, but seeing that the strings were already strong, I gritted my teeth and let go decisively.
Just listen to the swish, the arrow with the momentum of breaking the wind, away from the string!
Middle!
As soon as I thought about it, I heard a tearing howl, and the arrow hit the badger's hind buttocks. Suddenly, the badger suddenly jumped high, and rolled on the ground in pain, and immediately blood flowed all over the ground.
I was also shocked by the terrible sight, and for a moment I did not react, and the next moment the strong badger had turned to me, and its two black eyes were staring at me, its snow-white teeth showed out, and its mouth let out a fierce howl, and then it pounced on me.
Oops!
I was able to shoot, but I didn't have enough strength to kill it in one hit, but it angered it.
The badger is not a big thing, not as terrible as a jackal, tiger or leopard, but its teeth are particularly sharp, and it is said that it can bite copper and iron, and it is also a trouble to be entangled by it.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly pulled the reins and rode my horse away.
But it was too late, and in an instant the badger was close in sight, roaring and pounced on my horse!
Whoosh——!
There was another sharp sound, and I saw an arrow flying past the side, hitting the badger at once, and the powerful force shot it more than a foot away, and firmly nailed it to a tree stump next to it!
The badger didn't even have time to scream this time, and it shot through the throat and died.
I was scared into a cold sweat, stared blankly at the badger's slowly drooping down and stiffened tail, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, turned my head, and heard a rustling sound, and slowly walked out of the bushes next to me on a horse.
It's Pei Yuanxiu.
Although that badger was not a fierce beast, and what he had just experienced was not a line of life and death, as soon as I saw him, I was still greatly relieved, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Xiu! ”
"Are you alright?"
As he spoke, he rode over and I immediately shook my head: "I'm fine." ”
The horse stopped beside me, he reached out again, took the hand I had just drawn the bow, and looked down - I was too nervous to pay attention before, my fingertips had been strangled by the bowstring purple-red, slightly swollen, he looked at it and frowned, and gently rubbed it with his thumb: "Does it hurt?" ”
I hurriedly smiled: "It doesn't hurt." ”
"This kind of thing shouldn't have been done by you in the first place."
"I can help too."
He glanced at the badger: "Just help?" ”
Being so ridiculed by him, my face was a little unbearable, and I pulled my hand out of his hand: "Next time, I won't leave half of it for you." ”
After saying that, I was about to ride away, but as soon as I turned around, I felt a light on my back, and when I looked back, he reached out and pulled all the arrows from the quiver behind my back.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"It's mine."
"What's yours is yours." I was in a hurry, so I went to grab it from him: "Return me!" ”
With a backhand insertion, he put all the dozens of arrows into his quiver, and then reached out to block me, and said with a smile: "Don't give it." ”
"Pei Yuanxiu, don't be a laid-skin!"
As I spoke, I entangled with him, fortunately the horse under the seat was a good horse, and as the two of us competed, we just paced in a circle, but half of my body pounced, Pei Yuanxiu smiled first, one hand protected the quiver, and the other hand blocked me, suddenly, the hand he blocked me circled, wrapped my whole waist, and lowered his head and pecked on my lips.
I was stunned for a moment, and my face suddenly turned red.
Hurriedly pushed him away and sat up straight on horseback: "You-"
He looked at me with a smile: "Are you still robbing?" ”
My face burned crimson, and I rubbed the back of my hand against my lips, and my lips trembled.
Of course, he and I are not old husbands and wives, in fact, we are still "newlyweds", but after all, we are already in our thirties, and we have long passed the age of flirting and scolding, besides, although it is not a big public here, but it is also in broad daylight, he is still like this-
I blushed and bit my lower lip, and without saying a word, I hurriedly dragged the reins and turned to leave.
But on the contrary, the horse under the seat and his horse seemed to be sticky and addicted, and he refused to move, only going around in circles, I was even more ashamed and anxious, dragging the reins and didn't know what to do, but he laughed next to him: "Didn't you just say that we are husband and wife?" ”
“……”
I didn't speak, I just pulled the reins single-mindedly.
At this time, he shook the reins, rode his horse and slowly paced up, walked to my side, and looked at me with a smile: "Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits and gold should be together." ”
“……”
"Besides, it is only right for a husband to protect his wife, isn't it?"
I was stunned and stopped to look at him.
He smiled and stretched out his hand, once again signed my slightly swollen and painful hand, gently rubbed his fingertips with his thumb, and said gently, "Just be with me." ”
The fingertips, which were originally the most sensitive places, were rubbed by him for a while.
I suddenly didn't know what to say, so I looked at him, then at my still red fingertips, and lowered my head slightly.
The smile on his lips deepened.
However, in the next moment, the smile began to fade slowly, slowly.
Only then did I realize that the originally quiet dense forest, at this moment, there was no sound at all.
