Chapter 363: His Skills

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Jingrong was quite a surprise. He managed to hit two wild roosters.

They were shocked but Xie Jingrong just smiled, saying that he had learned a little bit of shooting and riding before.

Shao Yunduan could not help but admire him secretly. A well-mannered man should have six skills, including shooting and riding. Xie Jingrong was really good at shooting and riding after being trained by the Xie Family and he looked elegant when he did it. That was amazing.

Both Qu Shan and Xie Dong were delighted. They barely had this kind of fun before and every time one prey was shot down, they would go to fetch it as if they had hit it themselves.

Yuezheng Xiao was not sad even if he failed. They were just here for fun!

Apart from hunting, Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao even picked some wild fruits to share with them, like wild grapes.

They also came across a few peach trees. The red fruit was not much bigger than a duck's egg. It tasted good, crisp and sweet, with a peachy fragrance. So, they got a few ripe ones to take them home.

Qiao Xuan picked some mushrooms, which drew Yuezheng Xiao's curiosity.

Half a day passed, and there were no large animals seen, but soon after lunch) they ran into a muntjac.

Shao Xiaoqi's eyes sparkled. He rubbed his hands in excitement. We are lucky to run into such a large dude. Shh, no sound, it is quite cautious

Shao Xiaoqi's thick eyebrows were raised, and he looked sharp. He stopped the others from moving, but amongst the shadow of bushes and trees, he moved forward slowly.

At the proper distance, he pulled the bow, aimed with one eye shut at the animal's heart and released the arrow directly. It hit right on the animal's heart.

The animal let out a scream and then collapsed. It struggled for a while and finally stopped moving.

Qu Shan and Xie Dong cheered. He hit it again, again!'

The two servants rushed to carry the animal back.

You are great, Qi! Yuezheng Xiao raised his thumb at Shao Xiaoqi, complementing him sincerely.

Shao Xiaoqi scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment. It's okay

Very good, not just okay! Yuezheng Xiao said with a smile, especially when he was hunting the muntjac a while ago, Shao Xiaoqi's whole state immediately became different. He was a bit fierce when he was serious, with that posture, that movement, that expression those who did not know what was going on would think that he was not hunting, but facing a fierce enemy.

When he thought about how he had hunted the roosters and rabbits, he seemed to be just having fun.

You can join the army. You will definitely shine there! Right, Brother Xie?

Xie Jingrong nodded. Yes, Qi, you are totally professional, and if you join the army, you can stand out very easily. Who taught you all of these skills?

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged a look and their hearts sank.

They did not think that it was not the right time to tell the truth, but they had no idea what else to say.

Both of them were quite surprised too that Qi seemed to be an expert. But then who was Hunter Zhao, who taught him these skills? Why did he spend the rest of his life in this village?

Shao Xiaoqi replied casually. It's not a big deal.. An experienced hunter taught me these, but he passed away a few years ago
