Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 8 Hunting
The two walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at the foot of the mountain behind the village.

The mountain behind Shangxi Village is not particularly steep, but it is relatively deep and covers a large area. It is said to be a branch of a continuous mountain range.

After coming here, Yun Jinghao began to slowly tell her about the situation in the mountains.

"Second Aunt Liu is right. There are big insects and wolves in the deep mountains, but these beasts rarely go down the mountain and attack people. As long as you don't deliberately run to the remote mountains, you don't have to worry too much about the beasts' attacks. , but there are also some poisonous insects or flowers and plants in the mountains, so if you are alone, don’t go into the mountains casually.”

Luo Jinxiu smiled and turned her head to look at him, "Without you, I wouldn't run around alone." It's true that she has supernatural powers, but wood supernatural powers don't have much advantage in terms of attack.

In the past, she also went to the military camp to train for a period of time because of her family background. There was no problem with self-protection, but she changed her body and had to practice her skills again. He would suddenly propose to go into the mountains with him, but he didn't really want to help the Yun family find food subsidies.

Yun Jinghao's eyes were soft, and he continued: "Most people in our village make a living by farming, except for the occasional aunts and sisters-in-law who pick some wild vegetables and fungus around here, and I am the only one who can go hunting in the mountains. There is another hunter, Uncle Hong, a few years ago before I left home, Uncle Hong once hunted a big bug in the mountains."

"Oh?" Luo Jinxiu looked surprised, "This Uncle Hong is so powerful that he can beat even a big bug?"

She knew that tigers in ancient times referred to tigers. This kind of beast is feared by ordinary people in modern times. Ordinary hunters would not dare to provoke it casually. There are such fierce people in this small Shangxi Village?

An imperceptible smile rarely appeared in Yun Jinghao's eyes, and he said: "At that time, the big worm had been seriously injured and was dying. It must have encountered wolves before, and Uncle Hong found it when he was running away. , he was killed and sold for a lot of money.”

"I see." Luo Jinxiu nodded knowingly, that's right, she said that even if there are hunters in such a small village, they shouldn't be so courageous as to dare to attack the tiger.

Thinking about it, Luo Jinxiu suddenly asked: "Then if you meet a big bug, can you kill it?"

She already knew that her husband had just returned from serving in the army not long ago, and he should have practiced some skills in the army, but she hadn't seen the specific skills yet.

Yun Jinghao stared at her twinkling curious eyes for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes." It's just that he might get hurt to some extent.

Luo Jinxiu's face immediately revealed a look of satisfaction, it seems that her husband is quite capable!

While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at the area where Yun Jinghao usually hunted. The surrounding vegetation grew quite vigorously, but because it was autumn, the forest that was supposed to be lush with greenery was stained with autumn yellow, and the ground There are also sporadic withered and yellow leaves everywhere, which is a bit bleak.

But these did not affect the survival of the small animals in the mountains. After walking forward for about 5 minutes, two or three hares appeared within the sight range, and the crowing of pheasants could be heard faintly not far away, and even the tree You can occasionally see a flashing shadow on the road, probably a squirrel or something.

Yun Jinghao looked around, and finally stood still, took out the bow and arrow behind his back, his calm eyes gradually revealed sharpness, and scanned the surrounding environment inch by inch, especially the grass.

Luo Jinxiu stood aside without making a sound, just watching quietly.

A moment later, there was a rustling sound from the grass in front of the left, Yun Jinghao quickly drew the bow to the full, and only heard a 'swish', and the long arrow quickly shot out of the air and went straight to the grass. Then, there was a scream of an animal.

"Caught it!" Luo Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and seeing Yun Jinghao's relaxed expression, she knew that there was no prey nearby for the time being. She walked briskly to the grass to take a look, and couldn't help whistling, only to see a shiny fur. There is an arrow piercing through the whole body of the wild pheasant in the chest, the chicken claws are still twitching there, and a few chicken feathers have fallen around.

Pheasants are generally not as abundant as domestic chickens, and this pheasant is no exception. It is obviously smaller than the chickens raised by Yun's family. After the feathers are plucked, it is estimated to be pitifully thin. However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

One chicken is not enough to eat, wouldn't it be too much to catch two more meat!
Just as Luo Jinxiu was about to pick up the pheasant, a hand stretched out from the side, "Let me get it, the chicken is covered in blood, don't stain your clothes."

Yun Jinghao randomly picked up a few tough grasses on the ground, expertly tied up the two chicken feet of the pheasant, and then pinned the prey to his waistband.

Luo Jinxiu didn't argue with her, although she brought a pannier, but when she went back, she had to pick something more edible and told the elders of Yun's family to stop their mouths. There is no place to put other mushrooms and wild vegetables.

"Mushrooms and wild vegetables can be found near here. The wild sweet potatoes I brought back yesterday have to go to the other side for a while, so don't rush to find them." Yun Jinghao pointed her in a few directions.

Afterwards, the two of them divided up the work. Luo Jinxiu picked some mushrooms and wild vegetables in the vicinity to go back to work. By the way, he would also see if there was anything else to eat. Yun Jinghao devoted part of his attention to her safety while quickly Looking for the next prey, his shots are like lightning.

Luo Jinxiu didn't forget to observe Yun Jinghao's movement while picking mushrooms, and this observation really made her discover some violations.

Yun Jinghao's archery skills are better than she imagined, he almost hits every shot, only he doesn't want to shoot, there is no one he can't shoot, he can catch pheasants and hares, but in just over half an hour, four of them have been caught one after another. This has greatly exceeded his harvest in the past two days!

If he continued to work for an hour or two, wouldn't the harvest be quadrupled on this basis?

Since he has such abilities, and there are indeed many small animals in this mountain forest, why were there only two or three poor prey every day?

Luo Jinxiu was a little puzzled at first, and then seemed to think of something, looking at Yun Jinghao's back with a meaningful expression.

It seems that this honest man who is said to have no sense of presence in Yun's family is not as honest as she imagined!
After working for almost an hour, Luo Jinxiu picked half a basket of mushrooms one after another, mainly oyster mushrooms, straw mushrooms, and a small amount of fungus. The wild vegetables were shepherd's purse, bitter greens, lettuce, etc. There were quite a lot of them. , I will get a few more wild sweet potatoes later, enough to go back to work.
