Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chen Er got off his horse and said, "You don't need to go, just wait, I'll get it for you."

  Chu Tang smiled and nodded, "Then I will trouble you."

   "What's the big deal." Chen Erhun didn't care, and ran away before he finished speaking.

  The young man leaned over to make friends, "Young master, the food in the barracks is not very good. We are going to go hunting, and I will cook something delicious for you tonight."

  Chu Tang smiled and said, "You have a heart, thank you."

  The young man waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is my job, no need to say thank you."

  Chu Tang tentatively asked, "The meal you cooked at noon today is delicious, did you learn it on purpose?"

  The young man nodded, and said with a bit of pride, "My father is a cook. I have learned from my childhood that he is also good at cooking. If I hadn't served in the military, I should have been a chef by now."

   Chu Tang nodded and said with a smile, "It's possible." Then he asked, "Did you cook the dishes you cooked for me at noon alone? Can someone help?"

  The young man said honestly, "Someone washes the vegetables and dishes for me, and I do the rest by myself."

  Chu Tang's fingertips shone, "Maybe you added something to my dish?"

  The young man's face changed slightly, and he said eagerly, "I didn't, the dishes I cooked were very clean and I didn't add anything, just don't worry."

   Chu Tang was puzzled, since the young man didn't poison his food, why is he guilty?

  At this time, Chen Er came back with the horse, and immediately put the bow and arrows, "Brother Chu, look, do you need anything else, if necessary, I will go get it right away?"

   "No need, let's go." Chu Tang took the reins and got on the horse, "Who will lead the way?"

   "I'll come." Chen Yi agreed, then got on his horse and walked to the front, heading for the mountains where they often hunt.

   A group of four people, talking, soon arrived in the mountains.

  Chen Yi asked Chu Tang, "Are you going to hunt separately, or go together?"

  Chu Tang looked around and said, "Let's separate, no matter how many you hunt, we will meet here in an hour's time."

   "Okay." The other three left in one direction, and Chu Tang went forward.

  He took the bow and arrow in his hand, drew an arrow out of the quiver with his fingers, put it on the bowstring, and shot it out.

   "嗤—" There was a soft sound, and a rabbit emerged from the grass with an arrow stuck in its neck, ran two steps, and died.

  Chu Tang raised his hand to pick up the rabbit, hung it on the horse's neck, and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, he saw an arrow on the ground. He got off his horse and picked it up from the ground. Then, following Tang Jinghong's example, he separated the arrowhead from the shaft. The covered part of the shaft was blue. With an arrow, how could there be an arrow here?

  If the soldiers come to hunt and shoot the sky, they will pick up the arrows. The arrowheads on the arrows are very expensive and will not be thrown away at will.

  Could it be—Chu Tang has a suspicion that this is the place where those people stole the arrows?

  The arrows are bundled together, how could one drop alone?

   Chu Tang was full of doubts.

  …

  General Chen asked his entourage, "Where is Chu and Tang?"

   followed suit, "It seems that Chen Yi and Chen Er went hunting in the mountains, general, are you going to chase him back?"

  General Chen raised his hand to stop him, "No need, send someone to covertly protect, we must not let anything happen to Chu Tang."

   "Yes, General." The attendants immediately went to arrange people and went to the mountains secretly.

  General Chen threw the letter in his hand into the brazier and burned it. The letter said that someone was going to assassinate Chu Tang, and he had already sent people.

  It's just a small soldier, how could someone come to kill him?

  The people Tang Jinghong sent may not be simple.

  No matter what, Chu Tang must not let something happen to him, otherwise how can he explain to Tang Jinghong!

  …

  In the woods, the young man knelt down in front of a masked man and pleaded regretfully, "Don't kill me, I don't know anything, and I won't say anything."

  The masked man looked down at the young man, "Now that you know the truth, do you think you can survive?"

  The young man said in a hurry, "I can die, but don't you find it strange? Chu Tang finished all the food, but he is fine."

  The masked man thought, "Is there a traitor?"

  The young man didn't say a word, trying to weaken his sense of existence, he didn't want to die.

  Before he saw someone poisoning food, he had come to stop it, but he saw that Chu Tang was already eating, so he didn't say anything.

  The masked man asked, "Do you know why Chu Tang is fine?"

  The young man shook his head, "I don't know, I also find it strange, how about I help you figure this out?"

  The masked man snorted, "I will come to you again tonight, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you will know the consequences."

   "Yes, I know." The young man hurriedly responded, his back was already wet with cold sweat and he was in such a panic that it took him a while before he resumed his free movement.

   Who did Chu Tang offend? It's terrible!

  …

   There were four people in this group, only Chen Yi and Chen Er were hunting seriously. After a lot of hard work, they caught an adult deer. The two **** the deer and carried it to the meeting place.

   When they came back, Chu Tang and the boy were already waiting for them at the separate place.

  Chu Tang hit a rabbit and two pheasants.

  The young man got nothing. He was frightened by the masked man and couldn't hold the arrow steadily. He dawdled in time to come back, so he got nothing.

  He didn't dare to talk to Chu Tang, and walked around the ghost gate, scaring him enough.

  Chu Tang was thinking about the arrow, but didn't say anything.

  Chen Er carried the deer to Chu Tang, and said excitedly, "Brother Chu, there is something delicious."

  Chu Tang took out ten taels of silver from the purse and gave it to the young man, "We'll have barbecue outside, and you can buy some wine, vegetables and dishes when you come back, and you should be clean."

  The young man held the money and said happily, "Okay, I'll go buy it right away, and I'll buy some seasonings by the way."

  Chu Tang pointed to the left direction, "There is a river over there, let's go to the river to roast, and when you come back, go to the river to find us."

   "Okay." The young man responded cheerfully, then rode on and went to the city.

  Chu Tang picked up the hare and pheasant, and said, "Let's go to the river."

  Chen Er licked his lips, hesitated and asked, "Brother Chu, are we really going to bake and eat alone?" Although he wanted to, he would be scolded by the general if he didn't follow the rules.

  Chu Tang led the horse and walked towards the river, "It's true, don't worry, I will guarantee it for you."

  Chen Er felt relieved, "Thank you Brother Chu."

  The three of them came to the riverside, and Chen took the pheasant and hare from Chu Tang's hand, "Brother Chu, you rest on the side, we can roast it."

  Chu Tang didn't say anything, "I'll go around the neighborhood."

   "Okay, but don't go too far, it's not safe here." Chen Yi warned, he was very afraid that Chu Tang would have an accident, and if an accident happened, he couldn't afford it.

   "Don't worry, nothing will happen." After speaking, Chu Tang walked up the river.
