It was now around ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather was very good. The Hummer stopped and the two people got out of the car. Chu Yunxuan looked at the sparkling lake in front of her, opened her arms and took a deep breath, feeling it as if she was intoxicated.
The fresh air blowing in my face, I said angrily: "You have eyes that don't recognize gold and jade. There are mountains, water and air here. Isn't it beautiful?"
The elegant scenery can be described as commonplace to Qiu Yu. It is far inferior to Huanshan where he grew up. He smiled faintly and said, "Only you people in big cities will find it novel, but for this...
For me, a mountain person, it’s too ordinary.”
"Well, it turns out you are still a kid from the mountains. However, the people in the mountains seem to be very simple, but you are as cunning as a little fox. What's going on?" Chu Yunxuan asked with a smile.
"Compared to you, I seem to be far behind."
"Hehe, thank you! Wow, there are so many egrets, wild ducks, turtle doves..." Chu Yunxuan pointed her finger in the air and shouted excitedly. "And what are those little ones?"
Taking off his sunglasses and putting them in his coat pocket, Qiu Yu looked in the direction of the girl's finger and said casually: "That's a mercerized starling, which is rare. It tastes similar to a sparrow."
Chu Yunxuan asked in surprise: "Why, not only do you recognize it, but you've also eaten it?"
Qiu Yu nodded, "Of course, I recognize almost all the birds here, and I have eaten most of them. I eat mountains and water. I have eaten a lot of game when I have grown up."
Chu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Why do you sound similar to the indigenous people? How about we go hunting later? I brought a crossbow."
"I don't need that one, it's too big and inconvenient."
"Then what do you use for hunting?" Chu Yunxuan asked curiously.
"I use a slingshot..."
Yes, Qiu Yu also made some preparations for this trip, bringing a slingshot and special iron balls. Hearing that he also had this ancient weapon, Chu Yunxuan smiled and wanted to see it.
The slingshot and iron pills were put in the pocket of his casual clothes. After getting in the car, Qiuyu took them out, then got off the car and handed over the items in his hand, "This is it."
The thing that appeared in front of you was made of a tree branch. It was dark red with flowing water patterns. The surface was scarred and swollen, as if it had been there for some years. It was covered with paste. Moreover, it was not common to be tied to a branch.
A rubber band, made of unknown gray-brown material, with a small oval piece of leather tied behind it.
"Oh, it's such an antique!" Chu Yunxuan stretched out her jade hand and took the slingshot. Suddenly her hand felt heavy, which made her say in surprise: "This slingshot is so heavy?"
Qiu Yu explained: "This is Jueya Ironwood. It is denser than steel, so of course it is very heavy."
"The material is extraordinary and awesome. What about this string? What is it made of?"
"It's made from the sinews of snow leopards that have been tanned. It's very strong. The small piece of bear skin tied at the back is very tough and has not been worn out after more than ten years of use." Qiu Yu's face was bright.
"Wow, it sounds very domineering. I have to try such an awesome slingshot. Give me the iron pill." Chu Yunxuan said impatiently.
Qiu Yu smiled and said, "You may not be able to pull it."
"Tch, you are looking down on me. Am I the kind of rich lady who can only do embroidery?" Chu Yunxuan was very unconvinced. She grabbed an iron pill and wrapped it in a bearskin, pinching it hard with her white fingers.
Pulling back, "Hey..."
What made this beautiful girl angry was that she almost used all her strength to pull the slingshot open just a little, and it was impossible to shoot the iron ball out.
"Isn't it possible?" Qiu Yu was quite gloating, "I even said you couldn't pull away."
"How dare you laugh at me? What kind of broken slingshot is this? Only a ghost can pull it open..." Chu Yunxuan angrily thrust the slingshot into the opponent's hand, "You pull one open and let me see?"
"It's easy." Sure enough, Qiu Yu just pulled it casually, and the slingshot opened. Then he aimed it into the air, and let go decisively as a wild duck flew high into the sky.
The iron pellets shot out, and they were no less powerful than bullets. Feathers flew from the wild duck that was more than 20 meters away. The duck suddenly fell down and fell on the shore...
"Ah..." Chu Yunxuan was stunned. Not only did the brat pull out the slingshot easily, but he also hit it so accurately that he actually knocked down the prey without using his bare hands. After a brief moment of shock, she clapped her hands and screamed excitedly, "
Okay, great! Qiu Yu, let’s go there quickly and pick up the duck..."
As if she had turned into an innocent and lively child, Chu Yunxuan pulled Qiu Yu and ran over. However, when she arrived at the place where the prey fell, she did not see the duck. She only saw drops of blood on the grass and a few feathers, "Hey, where is the duck?"
?”
"I guess he's not dead. He got into the grass."
Chu Yunxuan said angrily: "It's a pity. Otherwise, it would be perfect for roasting at noon. I brought the barbecue over here, but the duck is missing."
"Don't worry, I can find it." Qiu Yu said confidently. He walked to the west without hesitation, walked through the dense grass that was almost half a person's height, walked more than ten meters away, and bent down
He went down, picked up the just-dead wild duck, waved it in the air, and said, "Found it!"
"Okay, I can eat wild duck again!" Chu Yunxuan ran over happily.
Sweat, this little girl is also a greedy girl!
Carrying the trophy in her left hand and the girl holding her right arm, the two returned to the Hummer. Chu Yunxuan opened the back of the car and saw many items placed in the spacious space, including folding tents, barbecue grills, food boxes, etc.
Wait, everything was there. She threw the duck inside, took out a canvas bag, and then put down the hood of the car.
The bag contained a silver-white crossbow, which was very beautiful and rare. Of course, this special crossbow called "Silver Python" was expensive, very accurate, and the arrows used were very sharp.
Holding the crossbow in her hand, Chu Yunxuan said in a show-off manner: "Look at my weapon, how does it look? It's great, isn't it?"
With just a casual glance, Qiu Yu could clearly see the material and manufacturing process of this crossbow. He nodded and said, "It's not bad, but I don't know how your skills are?"
Seeing that the other party was showing contempt, Chu Yunxuan pouted and said: "Humph, of course my skills are very good. Let's go hunting in the woods. There is even a wild duck now, but it's not enough to eat."
Qiu Yu smiled and said: "Okay, let's see what you can shoot with the crossbow. Let's go and have a look at the mountain to the south."
"good……"
After walking in the grass for more than 20 minutes, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. It could be seen that Chu Yunxuan was in good health, not out of breath, and did not need to rest, so they walked up the mountain without stopping.
