This difficult night finally passed as time passed.
As soon as it dawned, Su Qi'an got up early. Qin Ziyin helped him get dressed. Seeing Qin Ziyin so close to him, Su Qi'an resisted her inner impulse and just hugged Qin Ziyin, then turned to the corner to hug her. Pick up the long bow that Village Chief Li sent last night.
I have an appointment today and I have business to do.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the thatched house, "Master Su, are you awake? We are Li Hu and Zhao Da."
Su Qi'an quickly turned around and opened the door. Two young men wearing animal skins stood in front of Su Qi'an with red faces.
It looked like the two of them had been waiting outside for a long time, but they didn't dare to disturb them.
Seeing the two of them looking a bit cold, Su Qian felt a little apologetic.
Li Hu and Zhao Da are both hunters in the village. They are top-notch veterans in hunting in the village. They are both generous and warm-hearted. Especially Li Hu, who is not only the nephew of Village Chief Li, but also has an excellent ability to observe people's emotions. .
Although he is a few years older than Su Qi'an, he is very polite to Su Qi'an on weekdays and is one of the few people in the village who does not laugh at Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an said softly, "Brother Li Hu, Qi'an is a little embarrassed that you called me that. The shock yesterday was just a warning to those with ulterior motives. If you don't mind, just call me by my name."
After listening to these words, Li Hu shook his head and said, "Mr. Su, although I am just a hunter with no culture, I still know some etiquette. No matter how you say it, Master Su is a scholar and a scholar. If he is different from us commoners, It’s disrespectful to treat people as equals.”
This is the restrictive thought that the feudal system of the Great Liang Dynasty put people into, dividing people into three, six or nine grades. This feudal thought has at least a thousand years of history and is deeply ingrained in the eyes of these common people.
Su Qi'an wanted to reverse it for a moment, but it was impossible. He turned his eyes, thought about it, and then said.
"Since you insist on insisting, I won't embarrass you. So, don't call me master, call me husband. This should not be disrespectful."
Li Hu thought, after hearing what Su Qi'an said, it was feasible. He nodded in agreement to Su Qi'an, but in his heart, Su Qi'an's behavior still made the two of them feel warm.
"Mr. Su really hasn't changed and is still so sincere to us. It's great." The two of them sighed inwardly.
"Li Hu, Zhao Da, if we are chatting, the wild animals in the wild forest will be full and run away."
Listening to Su Qian's joke, the two of them quickly came to their senses, showed awkward smiles, and quickly turned around and led the way away.
"Ms. sir, be careful. If you really can't beat him, don't try too hard. I'll figure it out at home."
Looking at Su Qi'an who was about to leave, Qin Ziyin came over, held Su Qi'an's hand and gave instructions.
"Well, don't worry, madam. Your husband will be careful and safe. It's okay. I'm at home. Madam, just wait for my good news at home."
Su Qi'an touched the back of Qin Ziyin's head with her palm and comforted her intimately.
Qin Ziyin nodded lightly and watched Su Qi'an, Li Hu, and Zhao Dayuan go away.
…
The wild forest at the east end of the village is not far away, about two or three miles away. The three of them took advantage of the wind and snow to stop and the road was easier to walk. They arrived in about half an hour.
In a dense forest, with the cold wind blowing, the white snow on the trees shook off.
"Mr. Su, we are here," Mr. Su, you are following us. No matter how many we hit today, we will not let Mr. Su return empty-handed. "
"That's right, just watch it, Mr. Su."
Li Hu and Zhao Da subconsciously protected Su Qi'an behind them, and then slowly walked towards the forest.
No wonder the two were so cautious, there were big insects in this wild forest, and it was said that it was a white tiger that had become a spirit.
Although they are rarely seen in the outer areas, it is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. In the past two years, the big insects rushed out of the wild forest and killed people, which is clearly visible to our eyes.
Su Qi'an did not stop the two people's actions. Compared with his previous life, his body was too weak. If something happened, he might not even be able to escape.
But Su Qi'an is confident that no matter what happens, he can solve it with one arrow. After all, he was a first-class archery athlete in his previous life.
The three of them slowly stepped into the wild forest, and after walking more than a hundred meters, several hares quickly appeared on the white ground in front of them.
Li Hu and Zhao Da saw this and quickly shot at him with their bows.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It's a pity that all three arrows failed. It's no wonder that the two of them were not good at archery. It was difficult to hit these wild rabbits on a snowy day.
The wild animals in this forest seem to have become spirits, and they are very cunning when running.
The three arrows failed, and the two of them felt a little regretful and could only continue to search the next area.
Just when the two were about to turn around and leave, suddenly, two arrow feathers appeared, whoosh! Whoosh! A sound came from behind the two of them.
The next moment, he shot straight towards the dense forest ahead. Listening to the movement, he seemed to have hit something.
The two of them were shocked and quickly ran towards the dense forest ahead. After a closer look, they saw two hares staring at the ground with an arrow feather.
Looking at this scene, the two of them looked dull, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
This distance is at least 60 steps, and it is still in a blind shooting state. The shooting force is very strong, and one arrow can pierce two. This kind of proficiency can only be achieved by those old hunters who have lived in the woods all year round.
But Su Qi'an was just a weak scholar. How could he not shock the two of them just by giving them a hand?
Su Qi'an stood in the distance, leaning against a big tree, panting heavily. For no other reason than this body's strength was too poor.
In his previous life, he would have missed an arrow and was still out of breath.
Seeing the shock on their faces, Su Qian explained with a smile, "Although I am a scholar, I have also read a lot of miscellaneous books and am quite interested in dabbling in this area. I still have solid theoretical knowledge. As long as I calculate the position in advance, I can shoot. It shouldn’t be difficult to win, but I didn’t expect to be so lucky today that I actually won.”
Listening to Su Qian's explanation, even though the two of them had doubts, they were relieved after thinking about it.
In the history of Great Liang, there were indeed such sharpshooters who never even touched a bow and arrow a few times, but their theoretical knowledge about archery was very solid. With a little teaching, they could achieve this effect.
Maybe Su Qian is this kind of genius marksman.
"Mr. Su is really good at both civil and military skills. Today is really an eye-opener. Come on, Mr. Su, let's change the piece. Today will definitely be a good harvest day."
As he said that, he pulled Su Qi'an towards the other side of the forest.
Su Qi'an smiled and nodded, but he was relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. If he really showed something that was beyond the understanding of the people of this era, it would definitely bring disaster to him.
"It seems that I have to be careful next time." Su Qian thought to himself.
But Su Qi'an didn't know that Li Hu and Zhao Da had no such idea at all. When they met a genius marksman, they all wanted to appreciate it and even teach him.
After all, if you can teach a true marksman, even if you have only a little relationship with them, telling them will satisfy your great vanity.
The subsequent hunting trip went quite smoothly. Within two hours, the three of them shot ten hares, four pheasants, and even a small wild boar.
Most of these prey were attributed to Su Qi'an. Just so as not to attract too much attention, Su Qi'an fired two arrows at each prey.
Even so, Li Hu and Zhao Da's faces were filled with ecstasy. They determined that Mr. Su must be the legendary genius marksman.
Seeing the barely concealed excitement of the two of them, Su Qian was helpless, but still didn't say anything. He just said hello to the two of them, hoping that they could keep it a secret.
Regarding this matter, Li Hu and Zhao Ziran agreed. Of course they knew what it meant to be a talented marksman. If they joined the army, they would at least be able to become a captain.
It's a pity that Mr. Su has to take the examination. How can he join the army? Just think about it.
In the blink of an eye, the sun above our heads gradually set, and Su Qian said, "Li Hu, we're going back. It's getting dark. If we continue, I'm afraid there will be danger."
Li Hu and Zhao Da nodded. As old hunters in the village, they naturally knew what darkness meant. Naturally, they would not object to Su Qi'an's proposal.
Soon, the three people put away the prey and quickly left the wild forest. Not long after the three people left, deep in the forest, a pair of red pupils with a biting gaze seemed to be watching everything from a distance...
The three of them returned to the village, which naturally caused a sensation in the village. After all, they had hunted too many wild animals today. If they sold them all, they would be able to earn at least fifty taels.
You know, ordinary villagers only spend about one tael a month, and their income in one day is almost half a year's expense.
Countless villagers surrounded Li Hu and Zhao Da, praising them for their abilities. As for Su Qi'an on the side, not to mention being indifferent, but few villagers came forward to talk.
After all, Su Qi'an has a great reputation, and coupled with the shock of yesterday's words, many people are actually a little afraid of him, and naturally they dare not come forward to talk.
Li Hu and Zhao Da both looked embarrassed when greeted by the villagers.
On the way back to the village, Su Qi'an asked the two of them not to tell anyone about his role in today's hunting.
After all, there are many people in the village who talk a lot. If word spreads, Su Qi'an will know that the disaster will be greater than the blessing.
In this regard, the two of them also promised to keep Su Qian's secret. The three of them couldn't bear the lively compliments. After greeting each other, they went home, leaving only a group of red-eyed villagers sighing at the intersection.
Seeing Su Qi'an returning safely, Qin Ziyin's heart dropped. He stepped forward to see if Su Qi'an was okay. Su Qi'an smiled and held Qin Ziyin in his arms.
He said softly, "Let me tell you, your husband-in-law is very lucky. Not only is everything fine, but he has gained a lot today. But my wife didn't see how brave my husband-in-law was today..."
Qin Ziyin, who was being held in his arms, nodded lightly and didn't care at all about Su Qi'an's bragging. After all, men will have their moments of performance.
It didn't matter to her whether Su Qi'an knew how to hunt. She just wanted Su Qi'an to be safe.
Feeling the warmth in her arms and the tenderness and sweetness in Qin Ziyin's eyes, Su Qi'an's uneasy thoughts arose again.
But fortunately, he still restrained himself. It wasn't that Su Qi'an was calm, but that he always had a bad feeling about today's hunting.
He always felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him, staring at him like prey.
Now we have to do business, modify the longbow. Although the longbow given by the village chief has a good range, its accuracy is very poor.
If we don't improve it, if we really encounter any danger, it will be over.
Qin Ziyin said softly as he watched Su Qian pick up the longbow and start studying it.
"Mr. Sir, can you improve this thing?"
"I have read a lot of miscellaneous books. I am interested in this. Madam, please go to bed first. I may stay up late tonight, so don't wait for me."
Qin Ziyin made a soft sound, looked at Su Qi'an with a smile, and then went to bed to sleep.
