Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Who’s the Capable Girl?

Having received Wufu’s consent, Madam Zhou happily prepared her parental home’s festival gifts and joyfully delivered them herself. As for Wufu, she knew in her heart that the child would not be willing to accompany her, so she did not ask her to go along.

As for the other two young ones at home, Liu Jin said he wanted to follow Wufu up the mountain to hunt, while Hongyu said she would stay at home to watch the house, so in the end, it was just Madam Zhou who went to the Zhou family alone.

Having received a good bow and arrow, Wufu could hardly wait and soon took Liu Jin up the mountain to wander. Hongyu was envious, but she also knew she didn’t have the ability and would only hold Wufu back, so she stayed at home obediently.

In August, it was very cool in the mountains, and the forests were dense. Only scattered specks of light fell from the treetops. Liu Jin followed Wufu closely, listening to her explain some of the dangers one might encounter in the wilderness and the basic theories of coping with them.

Liu Jin listened attentively, silently memorizing everything and occasionally asking some questions for clarification.

And indeed, his attentiveness was warranted, for it was owing to Wufu’s teachings that many years later he managed to escape death in the jungle.

The two of them walked deeper into the mountain, and Wufu did not forget to mark the trail, saying to Liu Jin, "Once lost in the deep mountains without a sense of direction, you might never find your way out. So, making these marks is also a way of leaving a caution."

Liu Jin nodded to indicate he memorized it.

Suddenly, Wufu stopped in her tracks and immediately crouched down. Liu Jin also carefully squatted down without asking any questions, knowing that Wufu must have a good reason for her actions.

"Look," Wufu said carefully parting the bushes and pointing ahead.

Liu Jin looked over and his eyes lit up with excitement as he said, "Miss, it’s a deer."

Twenty meters ahead, a wild deer was drinking from a stream. Startled by a noise, it looked up cautiously, but seeing nothing unusual, it bent down again to drink.

"We’re in luck today," Wufu said excitedly. She had come to the mountains many times before and usually encountered nothing more than wild chickens and rabbits. Today, venturing farther, they had come across a deer.

Liu Jin said, "Miss, it’s a bit far."

Wufu smiled, took the bow in her hand, and drew a feathered arrow from the quiver on her back and nocked it, saying, "Let’s see what this bow and arrow can do today."

Liu Jin’s eyes sparkled brightly, holding his breath in anticipation.

Wufu, too, became serious. Kneeling halfway, she straightened her back, pulled the bowstring taut, aimed at the deer, and when her hand released, the arrow whistled as it flew.

There was a thud as the arrow pierced flesh.

The feathered arrow struck the deer’s hindquarters, startling the animal into a shriek and an attempted leap to escape.

Wufu didn’t think twice, stood up, and ran forward. As she drew another arrow from her quiver, she shot it without hesitation at the fleeing deer.

Whistling through the air.

The second arrow hit the deer in the head, ensuring it could not run away. The deer fell onto the grass, whimpering and twitching its limbs.

"Miss, you hit it, you got it!" Liu Jin ran over excitedly.

Wufu, however, was somewhat annoyed, saying, "It took two arrows to hit the target; my aim is still too poor." It wasn’t the one-shot kill she had imagined.

Liu Jin disagreed, his face full of admiration, "Miss, this is your first hunt with an arrow, and your aim is already good. Practice makes perfect; in the future, you will surely hit the target with every shot." Besides, she didn’t miss with either arrow. What other young lady at her age has such skill? Only his miss does!

So, it was blind admiration on Liu Jin’s part. No matter how Liu Jin looked at it, he saw his mistress as incredible.

That was also true, Wufu replied, "You’re right, with more practice, I will definitely get better."
