Autumn is the season when deer are in heat. At this time, they appear restless and lose their appetite, especially the male deer, who are aggressive and aggressive, so one must be more careful than usual.
Ye Zhen turned over and dismounted, moving slowly in the grass with light steps. She saw a sika deer in front of her, bowing its head and eating grass.
Lu Lingzhi and his brother walked behind her, one staring at the sika deer and the other at Ye Zhen.
Tang Zhen and the others soon arrived, only to see three horses on one side and no people. He made a gesture to the others and dispersed to hunt.
He took a few steps forward and found a slight sound in the grass. He thought it was prey, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be Third Miss Lu and the others.
He stooped down and walked over, only to find a sika deer not far from them.
Tang Zhen held his breath and did not move forward, for fear of disturbing the deer.
Ye Zhen had already taken out her bow and arrow, pulled the bowstring and was ready to shoot.
The sika deer jumped. It did not realize that it had been stared at and continued to eat young grass as usual.
Ye Zhen's eyebrows wrinkled, and suddenly the murderous aura around her disappeared. She put away her bow and arrow and whispered, "Let's find the next prey."
"Why didn't you shoot?" Lu Lingzhi asked her in a low voice.
Ye Zhen turned around and found Tang Zhen behind her, looking at her with the same doubt. That was an excellent opportunity just now. Why didn't she shoot the sika deer?
"Third sister, don't you want my silver whip?" Tang Zhen asked with a smile.
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and said, "That was a doe just now, and it already has calves. A pregnant doe cannot be killed."
Ye Zhen was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Xiangzhi would know what she was thinking. He and Lu Yaoyao were often like this.
Unexpectedly, although she and her sister did not grow up together, they had many similar habits.
"Third sister, if you are so kind, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch any prey in a while." Tang Zhen laughed and looked at Ye Zhen playfully.
Ye Zhen said faintly, "The prosperity of all things needs to be endless. You kill the pregnant doe, and sooner or later, these sika deer will become extinct. How will you hunt then? Even when they see a cub, they still have a trace of benevolence, let alone a pregnant female deer. "
Tang Zhen didn't expect Ye Rou to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but appreciate her even more, "Third sister is right."
A faint smile appeared on Lu Lingzhi's face.
Ye Zhen walked into the woods with her bow and arrows. Tang Zhen followed behind her and looked at her with a smile. He had seen women hunt before, but most of them wanted to show off their kindness in front of the man they admired. Some were even more ruthless than men. Whether it was a cub or a pregnant female animal, they shot them mercilessly.
The more Tang Zhen looked at Ye Zhen, the more he felt that she was good. This feeling of liking someone at first sight was really strange. He just laughed at Lu Lingzhi, but when he knew that this girl was his sister, he felt very lucky.
Ye Zhen didn't know what Tang Zhen was thinking. She found another buck. She stopped and looked for a place to hide in the woods.
Tang Zhen also found several sika deer in the woods. He turned to look at Ye Zhen. Although he didn't mind giving her the silver whip, if he really lost, it was also related to his face.
However, he promised to give her three arrows.
Ye Zhen had already picked up her bow and arrows and aimed at a buck that seemed to have just fought. He didn't seem to be vigilant and was licking the wound on his leg.
In this season, the bucks often fought for the doe.
Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen without blinking. He felt that his third sister was very similar to Princess Qin, but it seemed that she wasn't.
Princess Qin was a woman raised in the boudoir. Apart from the female precepts, she only knew how to do needlework every day. Yao Yao was different. She was not as beautiful as Ye Zhen, but she was more lively and bright than her.
Fortunately, Shuang 'er didn't know what Ye Zhen looked like. Otherwise, if she saw Yao Yao, she would not allow her to stay in the capital.
Ye Zhen's dark and clear eyes exuded a burning brilliance. She pulled the bowstring to the fullest and quickly released the arrow. Before the arrow left the bowstring could shoot into the body of the buck, she quickly took out a second arrow and shot it.
The buck jumped up in fright when it heard the sound of the bowstring. It escaped the first arrow, but it couldn't escape the second and third arrows behind it. Each arrow hit its fatal spot, making it die without any pain.
Lu Xiangzhi laughed, happy that his sister was more accurate than before. "Yao Yao, your archery is better than before."
That was for sure. Lu Yaoyao had not been trained. She was taught by her father. If her sister hadn't been sent away, she would probably be better than her!
Ye Zhen looked a little sad. Lu Lingzhi looked at her with a smile. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to win?"
There was no suspense in the competition between her and Tang Zhen. Tang Zhen also said that he would give her three arrows. Now, she won.
"Oh, brother, let's take the buck back and make grandmother's coat with its skin." Ye Zhen said to Lu Xiangzhi.
Lu Xiangzhi nodded and went to move the buck onto the horse's back.
Tang Zhen had also brought a buck over, but he did it after Ye Zhen shot it. In any case, he lost.
"Third sister, I lost." And he lost convincingly. This little girl's riding and archery skills were not simple.
Ye Zhen smiled slightly. "Thank you for your silver whip."
"Call me Brother Tang, and I will give you the silver whip." Tang Zhen had already removed the whip from his waist. Although he was reluctant to part with it, it was a good gift to give it to a beauty.
"Young Master Tang, don't act shamelessly." Ye Zhen frowned. How could she have so many brothers?
Lu Lingzhi looked at Tang Zhen coldly. "You must accept the loss."
Tang Zhen laughed and sent the silver whip to Ye Zhen's hand. "Third sister, please accept it."
Ye Zhen took the silver whip and put it in the bag on the horse's back. "Thank you, I like this silver whip."
Who doesn't like such a precious treasure?
"Third sister, do you want to continue hunting?" Tang Zhen asked.
Lu Lingzhi was about to stop him, but Ye Zhen had already agreed. "Okay."
She hadn't been so carefree for a long time, so she took this opportunity to relax.
Tang Zhen smiled and led Ye Zhen's horse over. "Third sister, please."
Ye Zhen looked back at Lu Xiangzhi. "Brother, let's go."
Lu Xiangzhi smiled and nodded. Looking back, he saw that Lu Lingzhi had helplessly mounted his horse and seemed to intend to accompany her. He laughed. "Big brother, you haven't shot an arrow yet."
