Chapter 390 Pheasants, Hares, Muntjacs, and Musk Deer

She calmly drew a feather arrow from the quiver, placed it on the bowstring, and pulled the bow in one smooth motion.

With a sharp "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow pierced through the air like a black lightning and accurately shot a hare.

The hare was blown away by the huge impact force and nailed directly to the wooden stake next to it. It struggled for a few times and then became motionless.

Mulan smiled and said, "How is it?"

Zhao Qiaoniang also picked up her bow and arrow. In her slender but powerful hands, the bow and arrow seemed to have become a part of her body.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, aimed at a pheasant resting on a branch not far away, took a deep breath, and pulled the bowstring steadily.

With a "whoosh", the arrow flew out from the bow, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The pheasant sensed the danger and flapped its wings frantically to escape, but it still couldn't avoid the fatal blow. After flapping twice in the air, it fell straight to the ground.

Huo Jun stood aside, completely stunned, his mouth slightly open: "You guys...how are you so amazing that you can actually pull a bow like this?"

Zhao Qiaoniang raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a confident smile: "Because we have been practicing martial arts every day. Not only martial arts, we also learn horse riding and archery. We have to learn these lessons every day in the village."

Jiang Lin was also shocked, staring at Zhao Qiaoniang with wide eyes, stammering:

"You...you mean you all know Kung Fu? That's impossible, right?

Aren't you women supposed to just embroider and cook? Why are you learning these things?"

Zhao Qiaoniang heard this and looked at Jiang Lin calmly, saying seriously:

"Because we need to protect ourselves and our families, it is naturally good to know some kung fu.

We practice Kung Fu every day and have the opportunity to spar with each other."

She began to search for medicinal herbs, and now the herb-collecting team is able to recognize many herbs.

Zhao Qiaoniang lowered her head and said, "Do you know how to grow wild vegetables? You can pick more wild vegetables. The army needs a lot of medicinal herbs. We are going to pick a variety of herbs today."

There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs in this mountain. Huo Jun stared at her blankly. Zhao Qiaoniang raised her head and said, "Don't you know wild vegetables? Let me teach you!"

She squatted down gently and pointed at a bunch of wild vegetables with slender leaves and serrated edges:

"This is dandelion, which is very common in spring. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance, it has great functions!

It can clear away heat and detoxify, and can also be eaten cold, which is refreshing and delicious."

Then, Lin Yue moved to another place, pushed aside layers of weeds, and revealed a bunch of tender green wild vegetables. The leaves were oval and had some fine hairs on the surface. "This is Artemisia selengensis sprouts. Use it to stew fish. The taste is so fresh that it can make you swallow your tongue. It is very fragrant."

Finally, she walked to a sunny slope, bent down, picked up a few wild vegetables and said:

"This is garlic cloves, which taste a bit like garlic, but a bit sweeter than garlic.

Put some in the dumplings when making them, and take a bite, the fragrance will linger in your mouth, it is so delicious."

Huo Jun sat aside, his eyes unconsciously attracted by Zhao Qiaoniang's agile figure.

Listening to her talk endlessly about the names, characteristics and eating methods of various wild vegetables, my eyes were full of surprise.

"You know a lot of wild vegetables?" Huo Jun opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhao Qiaoniang blankly.

In his opinion, these wild vegetables were just weeds that no one cared about, but he didn't expect that they would become treasures that could fill Zhao Qiaoniang's stomach.

Zhao Qiaoniang raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and her eyes curved into crescents:

“When we had no food before, we often went up the mountain to look for all kinds of wild vegetables.

These wild vegetables can not only fill your stomach, but some of them can also cure diseases!

It would be great if we had some fish. If we put some wild vegetables in the fish soup, it would taste amazing.”

"Can you catch fish?" Huo Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Qiaoniang laughed, her laughter clear and sweet, like a clear mountain spring: "Our people all know how to catch fish, and we have nets, so catching fish is a piece of cake for us."

Huo Jun heard this, a flash of excitement in his eyes, he quickly stood up, pointed to the distance, and said:

“There’s a really big river not far away. I’ll take you there and we’ll go into the river and see if we can catch any fish.

But the fish tasted terrible. Even in the most difficult times, we would still go fishing. The fish we caught tasted terrible when cooked.

But at that time, there was nothing we could do. We were hungry and had nothing else to eat, so we had to eat fish like this."

Zhao Qiaoniang held a few freshly dug wild vegetables in her hands, and looked at Huo Jun with a gentle smile on her lips:

"How can fish taste bad? It's your cooking method that's wrong.

After we dig up these wild vegetables today, we will go fishing in the afternoon to see how much we can catch. Then we can make fish soup for the soldiers.

You see, these soldiers are still weak, so it would be best if they could slowly eat some meat and then eat some other fish to replenish their body."

Huo Jun listened to her words, nodded slightly, and glanced at Zhao Qiaoniang from time to time. A blush quietly climbed up his handsome face, and then he quickly looked away, and the hoe in his hand hit her again and again.

Not far away, Lin Wanwan sat quietly on the grass, casually fiddling with a grass stem in her hand, watching the scene with interest.

She looked at Huo Jun's awkward and nervous look and couldn't help but find it interesting:

"Why is the atmosphere between these two so subtle? Naitang, do you think they are a good match?

Huo Jun is quite handsome, and my mother is also beautiful. Although she is already the mother of three children, her figure is still graceful and slim.

I don’t know if it’s because women gave birth at a younger age in ancient times, making recovery easier, or if there’s another reason.”

Toffee squeaked a few times, indicating that he was not interested in any of this.

It ran to another place with a group of brothers, while Pacifier lay next to Lin Wanwan and fell asleep.

Several of its brothers have already run away in the mountains, but the brothers of Pacifier are still very helpful and throw some things over from time to time.

When Lin Wanwan woke up and looked, the scene in front of her made her eyes widen instantly.

In the center of the camp, prey piled up like a mountain. The hares were fat, and their ears trembled slightly from time to time.

The pheasant's colorful feathers were dazzling, and its claws drooped limply.

In addition, there are various common animals such as muntjacs and roe deer, stacked together in layers.

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered helplessly, "Pacifier, tell them to stop scratching! If they keep going like this, there might be no animals left in this forest!"

The pacifier was originally taking a nap on the side, but when he heard this, he stood up slowly, walked to a nearby place with steady steps, raised his head, and let out a deafening tiger roar.

In an instant, the entire forest seemed to be awakened, and countless birds fluttered up from the forest, covering the sky and the sun.
