179 Attack
Seeing that his young master was really leaving just like that, the guard was stumped. In the end, he made up his mind and followed.
The group entered the mountain.
Su Ergou rarely hunted. Firstly, his father and sister did not allow it. Secondly, he was not very good at it.
But this person did not say that he had to be the one hunting.
!!
Su Ergou thought for a moment. Ten taels of silver could buy many things for his family.
His father, his sister, his brother-in-law, Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu…
Unknowingly, the group had already entered the forest.
It was not difficult for the young man to ride on the horse.
The attendant and the servant were exhausted. Although they were servants, they were not the kind who did rough work. Otherwise, the servant would not have been unable to even push a cart.
On the other hand, Su Ergou, the youngest, had been walking at the front without panting.
The young man muttered unhappily, “It’s been so long, why haven’t I seen any prey?”
“Little High Duke! Look!” The servant pointed at the grass not far away and whispered, “There’s a bamboo rat!”
The young man finally perked up. He nocked an arrow and shot at the bamboo rat!
Unfortunately, it missed and the bamboo rat ran away.
The young man frowned.
The group continued forward.
After the first bamboo rat appeared, it seemed to be easier to encounter prey. The young man first encountered a pair of rabbits, then an elk and several pheasants.
However, he did not hit any of the animals successfully.
The young man was furious.
“What lousy bow!”
He threw the bow and arrow to the ground in disdain!
The guard quickly picked it up and wiped it with his sleeve. “Little High Duke, the prey in this forest is too cunning. Why don’t we go back first and call a few young masters over!”
The young man glared at him. “You mean I’m not as good as my cousins?”
The guard said awkwardly, “That’s not what I meant…”
The young man snorted and said, “If any of you can hunt any prey today, I’ll reward you with ten taels! Two, twenty taels! I have a lot of money. It depends on whether you have the ability to take it!”
As soon as these words were spoken, who could stay idle?
The attendant and servant all began to catch rabbits and chickens.
Su Ergou did not move.
The young man asked him, “You don’t want silver?”
Su Ergou said, “Prey that grows in the forest runs faster than poultry. You can’t catch it.”
“Boring!”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, Su Ergou took out a slingshot from somewhere and shot a stone at the bushes in front of him.
Tip!
It sounded like he had hit something!
The young man was stunned.
The servant and the guard also stopped. They looked at the young man and Su Ergou, then at the motionless grass.
Could this kid have really hit it?
Their little High Duke could not even hit a prey with a bow and arrow. How could he hit something with a broken slingshot?
Su Ergou walked over and dug open the grass to take a look.
Eh?
Bingo.
To be honest, he did not expect to hit it either.
His sister’s slingshot was so useful! Its accuracy was too good!
The young man said to the servant and attendant, “Did you see that? The two of you, learn more from him!”
The attendant muttered, “It’s just blind luck!”
Tip!
Su Ergou hit another rabbit.
The attendant stammered, “That, that was a nest of rabbits, to begin with. It was very easy to fight.”
Tip!
Su Ergou hit another pheasant.
Su Ergou gradually realized the joy of playing with a slingshot. Although he did not hit the target every time, he was the only one in the group who could hit accurately. He had hunted a total of three rabbits and two pheasants.
In total, it was 50 taels!
Su Ergou was very happy.
The young man was unhappy.
...
Why couldn’t he hit it with a bow and arrow, but this country servant could hit it with a slingshot?
“Show me your slingshot,” the young man said to Su Ergou.
“Oh.” Su Ergou handed the slingshot to the young man.
The young man found the servants in the countryside dirty, but he could not resist his curiosity about the slingshot. He frowned and took it.
It was a little heavy. He didn’t know what it was made of. It was strange. He had never seen it before.
He pulled.
The elasticity was better than the slingshot he had played with before.
“So it’s the slingshot.”
As long as he used this slingshot, he would definitely hunt more prey than this countryside slave.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a little pheasant stuck its head out from behind the tree.
“Quick, give me the stone,” the young man said to Su Ergou.
...
Su Ergou looked at the remaining three stones in his pocket and gave him one.
The young man missed.
He gritted his teeth. “Give me another one! Give me all of them!”
Seeing that it was 50 taels, no, 60 taels, Su Ergou contributed the remaining two stones.
Unfortunately, the young man was really good-looking but useless. He did not catch a single prey.
“A broken slingshot! It’s not useful at all!” The young man threw the slingshot up in frustration.
Su Ergou frowned. “Why did you throw my slingshot?”
Su Ergou bent down to pick up the slingshot.
The young man pulled the reins tightly and raised them. The horse raised its front hooves and stomped down!
The slingshot broke under the hard horseshoe.
Su Ergou was furious!
This was the slingshot his sister had made for him!
Su Ergou glared at him angrily.
The young man glanced at Su Ergou. “You dare to glare at me?”
“Why can’t I glare at you?”
“I’m even going to beat you up!”
The little bully who had his slingshot broken was in a terrible mood.
The young man was still adding oil to the fire. “Do you believe that I’ll dig out your eyeballs? Why are you still glaring?”
The young man lashed out with his whip!
Su Ergou tried his best to suppress his anger until the whip landed squarely on his face.
Su Ergou completely erupted. He wrapped one arm around the young man’s whip and pulled him down!
The young man fell off the horse in a sorry state!
“Little High Duke!”
The attendant and servant’s expressions changed.
Su Ergou said coldly, “I’ll return this whip to you!”
Su Ergou slapped the young man’s handsome face!
“Ah—” The young man screamed in fear.
In the blink of an eye, a tall figure rode his horse over. Seeing that it was too late, he rose into the air and kicked Su Ergou’s chest—
Bang!
A long sword blocked his attack!
He flipped a few times and stabilized himself beside the young man.
He looked at the other party coldly.
The other party also used his movement technique. The difference was that the other party chose to stand in front of Su Ergou.
Su Ergou stuck his head out and looked at the young man blocking his way. “Eh? Young Master Jing?”
The young man was stunned. “Brother Jing?”
The guard’s face was cold as he asked calmly, “I didn’t know that Young Marquis Jing had arrived. Sorry for not welcoming you. However, what does Young Marquis Jing mean?”
The young man glared at Su Ergou and snorted disdainfully. “That’s right, Brother Jing. This slave is so detestable! Not only did he pull me off the horse just now, but he also tried to whip me! Hurry up and teach him a lesson for me!”
“He’s not a slave!” Jing Yi said coldly and turned to ask Su Ergou, “What’s wrong with your face?”
Su Ergou pointed at the young man and said, “That person broke the slingshot made by my sister!”
