“Let’s wait a little longer. Look at that stomach. It’s a female deer pregnant with a baby deer. Let’s look for the deer herd and see if we can find it. When the time comes, we’ll shoot the male deer.” Mu Yangling pulled Qi Haoran back and said, “Deer are social animals and have always moved together. The deer herd might be nearby.”
Qi Haoran patiently continued to wait behind the bushes.
Unable to stand the cold, Fan Zijin blew at his hands and asked, “Are we just going to wait?”
“There’s water here and these two deer are here to drink water. Can’t go wrong guarding the water.”
Qi Haoran couldn’t help but look at Mu Yangling. “Do you hunt deer often?”
“Nah. We only go into the mountains in autumn and winter. The deer in the mountains aren’t like rabbits, so we don’t dare to hunt too many. There are many hunters in Xingzhou Prefecture.”
Qi Haoran nodded and said regretfully, “When we were in Lin’an Prefecture, if we wanted to hunt, we could only go to the hunting ground because there were very few huge prey in the forest. Deer meat is truly delicious. It was already not bad if we could get a pair of its hind legs in winter. When I heard from Big Brother that there were deer herds in Chef Mountain, I dragged Zijin over.”
Lin’an Prefecture was prosperous, so the prices were naturally high. Here, one could buy a deer for ten taels of silver, but in Lin’an Prefecture, one might not be able to buy it for 100 taels of silver because there were too few things and too many nobles.
As the Qi family and the Fan family were only third-grade and fourth-grade families, they could not compete with the influential people in the capital.
Having followed Mu Shi into the mountains to hunt deer a few times, Mu Yangling already had a hunting method. At this moment, she brought the four of them to find a suitable ambush location. Indeed, not long after, deer walked over one after another. They lowered their heads and drank water in the waterhole with the two deer. From time to time, they would look up warily at their surroundings.
When the number of deer exceeded 18, Mu Yangling took out the weeds in her mouth and whispered, “My arrows are very accurate. The moment I shoot, you’ll be able to see blood. What about you?”
Qi Haoran hurriedly expressed his stance. “Of course I’m not weak either. I can shoot it at the neck in one shot.”
