When Yingying heard the commotion and ran over, she saw Xiaomi make a flying leap and thrust a dagger into the wild boar’s neck.
anwhile, on the other side, there was already a bloody hole, left by Wei Ziang.
After Wei Ziang’s strike, the wild boar’s movents slowed down, allowing Xiaomi to seize the opportunity to strike again, and after retreating, she couldn’t help but grimace.
"My goodness, this boar’s skin is too thick!" she exclaid, having used her internal spiritual power to finally pierce through.
The two were so fast that the guards hadn’t even reacted yet.
Although the wild boar wasn’t big, and its tusks had only just begun to grow, its destructive power wasn’t very strong.
But to be taken down by two kids around seven or eight years old like this, isn’t it too shaful?
Yingying was also stunned, her mouth agape as she watched the boar, which weighed at least a hundred pounds, spin in place a few tis before falling and convulsing.
"You, you two are amazing!" she said.
Looking around the scene, the grass and brambles had been trampled by the boar, the ground was splattered with blood, Xiaomi and Wei Ziang had blood on them too, but not much.
Even now, the boar’s blood was still flowing, seeping into the grass.
Xiaomi felt a pang of regret: "It’s a sha about all this pig’s blood, stead pig’s blood is so delicious."
Her mother made stead pig’s blood that was fresh and fragrant, without any gay taste.
What a pity, because she and Wei Ziang both stabbed the neck, it’s just like when killing a pig, all the blood was let out.
Yingying was still in shock when a guard captain stepped forward.
"Miss Xiaomi, Master Ziang, should I have soone take this wild boar back for processing? It’s too hot, if we don’t process and chill it soon, it might spoil."
Xiaomi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you for your help."
The captain said it was no trouble, then waved over soone to co and carry the wild boar away.
Yingying was still expressing shock and admiration, eagerly following Xiaomi, asking her how she managed with the wild boar.
Wei Ziang greeted them before walking away to find a quiet place to continue hunting, while Xiaomi excitedly recounted the events to Yingying.
After hearing it all, Yingying was even more thrilled, declaring she would definitely catch so prey today!
Perhaps because the wild boar set the tone, the trio’s hunting results were quite good afterward, even Yingying caught two rabbits.
The biggest regret was that Wei Ziang had spotted a fox, but due to a careless noise, it ran away.
The trio stayed in the forest until almost the hour of Shen, only then reluctantly returning.
Along the way, they snacked on venison jerky and the buns and water brought by the guards who sent the spoils back.
Had they not returned soon, they might not have been able to enter the city later; Yingying likely wanted to stay here for a couple more days.
At this point, besides the wild boar, there were also over a dozen wild rabbits and chickens, plus two porcupines!
Yingying had never caught so much prey before, and the guards hadn’t made a move the entire ti, rely accompanying them s to ensure their safety and prevent potential dangers.
"That’s fantastic, Xiaomi, when your brother goes for the exam, should we co hunting again? Next ti I’ll bring more people, we can stay around here for a few days, okay?"
Yingying was utterly ecstatic, as Xiaomi had promised her one porcupine, two wild chickens, and half a slab of wild boar at!
She had only hunted two rabbits, the rest were caught by Xiaomi and Wei Ziang, how amazing!
"Sure, since our brothers are taking the exams, we can’t really help with anything anyway."
In recent days, brother and Liu Ze have improved their cooking skills trendously, so we can bring more copper coins, buy so ice and water during the exam, and get through the nine days with no problem!
With no pressure on them this ti, Xiaomi was incredibly carefree.
It’s like taking a vacation; returning the day before the exam ends is not too late.
Yingying added: "Oh right, your weaponry isn’t strong enough; when I go ho, I’ll find soone to make you each a new bow, so next ti you et a wild boar, you’ll be able to pierce right through its skin!"
Xiaomi quickly shook her head: "That’s not a good idea, these bows aren’t cheap, and they shouldn’t be made without careful thought."
Weapons with destructive power should not be created privately; they must be reported to the authorities, otherwise, if discovered, it’s a serious cri of possessing unauthorized weapons!
At minimum, they confiscate your family assets, at worst, it’s treason with a death penalty!
Even Xiao Cao’s bow had been reported to the authorities.
It’s not just weapons; even household hoes, kitchen knives, and sickles have regulations.
That’s why when Yingying offered them bows, Xiaomi directly refused; mishandling such items could bring disaster upon her family.
"Don’t worry, since I dare to give them to you, I’ll be sure to arrange everything properly. Just trust ."
Yingying patted her chest confidently.
Since she said so, Xiaomi thought about it and accepted: "Thank you, Sister Yingying."
"No need to thank ; next ti, continue to teach , okay?"
During today’s hunt, although she only caught two rabbits, Xiaomi taught her many important hunting tips.
But those things are just ntal notes for now; practice is needed to truly grasp them.
Her father had also found her excellent teachers, who shared many techniques, but sothing seed missing.
It wasn’t until today that she realized, what Xiaomi said, and what her teacher said, was about the sa, but with a slight difference.
According to Xiaomi’s explanation, that difference is akin to how n and won differ.
n have great strength and burst power; girls have better endurance but less burst power, so what the teacher taught her was easy to learn, but mastery always felt incomplete in so sense.
But thinking about it, it makes sense, historically, few girls are interested in hunting and fighting, so teaching experience may be lacking.
But now it’s different; things she hadn’t considered were pointed out by Xiaomi. Once ho, she’ll tell her teacher and try again; Yingying believes next ti she’ll catch even more prey!
When everyone excitedly returned to the villa, the servants had already heated the water, and after they quickly washed up, Second Aunt called them to eat.
"I took the liberty of cooking so of your catch; this is beggar’s chicken, this is braised rabbit, this is stewed wild boar. Co try them, after we finish eating, we can head back."
"Wow, it slls delicious." Yingying took a deep breath: "I’ve eaten these at ho, but they don’t taste the sa as Aunt’s cooking."
Looking at the dishes on the table: "Aunt’s cooking is more appetizing!"
"Miss Ying Ying’s words are too kind, I just made these casually; as long as you don’t mind, hurry and eat. You ran around the mountains all day; you must be hungry."
Ying Ying eagerly picked up a piece of wild boar at: "It’s so good, even better than my family’s chef. Aunt, since Xiaomi and I are good friends now, just call Ying Ying."
Then quickly picked up another piece, with large chunks of at, without the finesse of ho cooking, but eating it was incredibly satisfying!
"Alright, Ying Ying." Second Aunt nodded with a smile, pouring a cup of water for each of the three young hunters: "Eat up, after dinner, we can chat on the way back."
