Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Good Skills Huh_1 Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Good Skills Huh_1 At that mont, one of Ye Ge’s arrows targeted the wild boar.
The archer was calm and collected.
With a “whoosh” sound, the two arrows simultaneously hit the boar’s neck.
The boar let out a tragic cry, and Nan Feng suddenly jumped down from the tree,
And slashed at the boar’s neck with a knife, putting it out of its misery.
That was just what Ye Ge intended.
Even though those two arrows might have taken the boar’s life, it would have died painfully, sothing professional hunters would never suggest.
Once again, tranquility returned to the forest.
Ye Ge finally descended from the tree and walked towards Nan Feng, a hint of a smile on his lips: “You’re pretty agile.”
Nan Feng thought to herself, “Of course, I was trained in the Special Agent School.” But what she said was, “You flatter .
My master taught well.”
“Your master didn’t teach you to obey my commands, did he?
Yet you understood my signals,” Ye Ge teased lightly.
Nan Feng tousled her hair, “That’s chemistry.
We’ve been with each other for so many days.
No need for my master to teach that.”
At that mont, Nan Feng felt gratified that she was wearing her new dress.
She was finally relieved from the worries about ill-fitting clothes.
Ye Ge fell silent again, sizing up Nan Feng and her new dress that accentuated her petite figure.
Feeling a tad embarrassed by his gaze, Nan Feng quickly changed the topic: “Your timing was impeccable, thank you for saving .
Without you, I’d probably still be wrestling with the boar.”
“If you really want to thank , then let’s split the boar half and half,” Ye Ge joked again.
“No problem,” Nan Feng agreed without hesitation.
“That was quick.
Didn’t you want to think about it?” said Ye Ge, amusent playing on his lips.
“What’s there to consider?
I hit the boar with two arrows and a knife, and you with two arrows.
But you’ll be the one carrying the boar down the mountain later, so we’re even.”
Seeing that Ye Ge didn’t respond imdiately, Nan Feng added, “Besides, I’m going to take my half to the town to exchange it for silver.
You’ll be joining then, so I’m the winner here.”
Ye Ge laughed heartily: “Alright, then let’s head to town tomorrow, shall we?”
“Sounds good.”
…
By evening, Ye Ge managed to carry an entire boar into Nan Feng’s farmhouse.
Unlike his previous cold deanor, Ye Ge even took the initiative to greet Nan Quan You.
Although it was just a simple “Uncle Nan”, it made Nan Quan You ecstatic.
After Ye Ge left, Nan Quan You, watching the busy Nan Feng, wanted to talk to her about Ye Ge.
But rembering his promise to Nan Feng not to ntion Ye Ge for a year, he held his tongue.
As she busied herself with the ga, Nan Feng asked Nan Quan You, “Dad, what did you do today?”
“Went to the vegetable field.
Early in the morning wetting the Chinese cabbages, setting up fences for the lon seedlings, and planting so beans too.
Now that we have the pond, it is so convenient that I couldn’t bear to leave.
Plus, a lot of people ca to see our pond and water pipes today and wanted to co to our house for water.
They are our neighbours from the village, I couldn’t refuse them.
But I was afraid they would step on our cabbage seedlings, so I kept guard.”
Nan Feng laughed heartily: “If we have more hands, we could make a few more water pipes.
But let’s not worry about that for now.
Making money for our house cos first.”
Having finished preparing the ga, Nan Feng took out two pheasants.
She handed one pheasant to Nan Quan You, “Dad, please prepare this chicken.
I’ll cook it later.
I’m taking the other one to Aunt Lan.
She made my clothes, and I haven’t paid her yet.
This pheasant will serve as her reward.”
Nan Quan You smiled and said, “My girl is becoming more and more sensible.
Alright, go.”
When Nan Feng went to Aunt Lan’s house, she bumped into Aqiu playing with another girl, Zhou Dongdong.
Zhou Dongdong was the granddaughter of the old man known as Zhou Er and was on friendly terms with Aqiu.
The two of them were weaving straw in the yard.
