Chapter 21 Lin Shen sees a deer
The mountain of Zhongyue is undulating, and there are endless dense forests around the vast hunting grounds on the northern foot. It is natural to fly into the deep woods to escape by Chu Jiangmian to escape. However, the "deadly killer" behind him does not want to let it go. If the wild pheasant can speak, it will definitely turn back and curse hysterically: "You are paralyzed... Why don't the beasts all over the mountains and fields let me go?!"
It’s just a pity that even if the pheasant explodes with anger, it will not speak. The one who can speak is the girl who clapped her hands and urged her. It is her words that made Chu Jiangmian, who was so tired that she was breathing heavily, muster up the courage to continue chasing the pheasant, and she would not give up until she caught it.
Only when I entered here did I realize that the forest in front of me was very deep. The tall trees and green vines were connected into pieces. The dense shade of some century-old trees blocked the sun and became dark and deep. People on the hunting ground outside shouted horses and seemed to be separated at once. And the more they walked in, the more grass grew, and the few people came to visit.
Chu Jiangmian had no eyes and looked at the trace of the pheasant, fearing that it would run away. The colorful feathers were very obvious. Soon after, it seemed to be tired of flying and finally stopped on a big tree. Chu Jiangmian took an arrow and calmed down his breath. This time he would never allow himself to miss again.
Chu Jiangxue, who followed him, and guard Zheng Qi, coachman Lao Ji and others were not far away. They hid behind the tree and looked at Chu Jiangmian aiming with different expressions. Lao Ji drooped his eyelids and slowly tasted the wine. It seemed that a pot of wine would always be in his arms, and he would drink a few sips anytime and anywhere. Jiang Xueer tried hard to clench her fists, opened her mouth nervously, and she was excited on her face to encourage her brother. The guard Zheng Qi, who was carrying two swords, sighed secretly. The prince of his family had a poor archery technique! But he was really good to the little princess.
However, just as Chu Jiangmian was confidently preparing to shoot the pheasant with an arrow, he seemed to be frightened suddenly. It flapped its wings and flew up again. The bushes were dense, covered by branches and leaves, and it seemed that it could no longer be caught.
Chu Jiangmian murmured and cursed. After spending a long time, he wasted more than a dozen feathers, but he didn't even get a single chicken feather. Is this too embarrassing? It's simply a loss of the tall image in my sister's mind!
"Prince be careful..."
Chu Jiangmian felt depressed, but suddenly heard Zheng Qi shouting a warning not far away. When he hurriedly looked up, he saw that just a few steps away from him, the grass and trees were alarmed, and the wind suddenly started, and a huge white shadow jumped out, with extremely fast speed, almost flashing by.
Chu Jiangmian was shocked. But before he could see clearly what it was, the beast chasing behind appeared.
The money cheetah with spots all over his body is undoubtedly an animal that is quick and extremely good at attacking. It was chasing its prey just now, and it had seen blood and was about to have a full meal. But suddenly he saw someone blocking his path. The fierce beast didn't care who it was, and it roared fiercely and rushed towards Chu Jiangmian.
This sudden change happened, almost caught people off guard. People more than ten feet away could see the situation clearly. Amid Xue'er's scream, Zheng Qi, who had just discovered that the situation was not good, had already drawn his sword in his hand and wanted to rush over to save him. Lao Ji also realized the seriousness of the situation at the first time, threw away the wine pot, and lifted up. However, although they acted quickly, even though they could save Chu Jiangmian's life at such a long distance, it was difficult to ensure that he would not be injured.
The next time he arrived first, and his cultivation level was judged immediately. Lao Ji, who was rising in the air like a big bird, was very regretful at this moment. He should always be with the prince! He was careless just now, thinking that there would be no danger in the quiet place in the forest, but he was so happy to let the prince relax. How could he think about it? Suddenly such a dangerous guy popped up!
If Chu Jiangmian was injured, thinking that Queen Jiang Xin was spoiled by her son like his own eyes, even if no one would say anything about him, he would have no face to go back to Zhao State. Lao Ji Chang took a breath, and his body that was flying in the air suddenly raised his posture, his arms grew longer, and his cultivation level that had been hidden for many years was fully utilized, and the surrounding plants and trees were flying around and the dead vines were entangled, which was amazing. No matter what, he had to kill the golden leopard that wanted to hurt others, which might save the prince's bad luck.
However, after a moment, Lao Ji and Zheng Qi, who arrived one after another, stood there in a daze, looking at each other. They didn't really believe in everything they saw.
"Brother Jiang Mian!...How are you? Are you injured? I'm scared to death!"
Chu Jiangxue, who was following behind, suddenly hugged her brother who was holding a bow in her hand, her face full of tears, and she couldn't help crying loudly. At that moment, she watched the ferocious beast pounce on his head. At that moment, she felt that her world was about to collapse! If the brother who loved her the most died, she didn't know what she should do.
"Silly girl, it's okay. Don't you believe in your brother's ability? Haha! A little big cat still wants to hurt people? Don't look at who this prince is!"
Chu Jiangmian's face was a little pale, with a trembling tone, but he looked heroic. While comforting his sister, he shook his hands. It was obvious that he pulled the bow hard in the critical moment just now, and his arms were cramped.
"Prince, is it really okay?"
The guard Zheng Qi first poked the cheetah that was lying on the ground with a knife, and found that it had no breath, so he felt relieved. He quickly checked Chu Jiangmian's physical condition, for fear that he would be injured.
Just now, he had seen the cause of the death of the cheetah in a hurry. A feather arrow shot in from its eyes and penetrated its head directly from the front. However, he did not expect that the prince, who had poor archery skills, had such a quick reaction at an emergency, and his accurate head strength was just right... If he had not been watching Chu Jiangmian grow up for many years, and knew that he had never been able to succeed in literature and martial arts, he would have almost thought that this was the method of a top master.
For warriors, it is not difficult to kill a cheetah or even a tiger with a sword and a long spear when they have weapons in their hands. Zheng Qi can do it in the shortest time when he takes a double sword and asks himself. However, it is not easy to hit the point when he is almost face-to-face, causing the beast to have no room for struggle and kill in an instant. Whether it is accurate, the strength everywhere, the psychological quality and judgment level must be no mistakes. Otherwise, the bow and arrow that cannot be used in a short distance or hasty will not cause any harm to the beast at all. Even if it is shot, it is likely that both sides will suffer losses.
Chu Jiangmian, who was comforting his sister, smiled and shook his head at him, indicating that he was not injured and there was no need to worry. Zheng Qi glanced at the colorful cheetah again and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"Prince, the arrow you shot killed this leopard so suddenly. It's so amazing. It's really auspicious person who has the help of God!"
"Coincidence, coincidence! It's purely coincidence... My archery technique is not that powerful, but killing a big cat is more than enough. Haha!"
Chu Jiangmian, who had recovered from calmness, seemed a little proud. Jiang Xueer, who was tearing and laughing because of his anger, suddenly looked up at his face, stuck out her tongue and said.
"But, Brother Jiang Mian, who just wanted those beautiful feathers, why did you shoot so many arrows but not hit them? Hehe."
"Uh, that's it... it's just that I have a good life. Let's just let it go! Xueer, let's not have those pheasant feathers. Since you like fresh colors, the fur of this cheetah is not bad. How about let Zheng Qi peel it off for you later and take it back to make a scarf?"
"Huh... I don't want it! Xue'er only likes gentle and cute things. These ferocious beasts will have nightmares if they are with you!"
"Okay! Xue'er is waiting, I'll find you what you like. With such a big Zhongyue Mountain, we have time and we won't have to worry about not being able to find it."
The brother and sister were talking here, and Zheng Qi dragged the cheetah aside and prepared to deal with it and take it back later. Lao Ji took a few glances carefully, lowered his eyelids, and said nothing. He leaned under the tree and continued to drink his wine. However, a few surprises and meaningful smiles flashed in his eyes.
Xue'er didn't dare to see the dead beast's hideous appearance. When she turned her head to the side, she seemed to have discovered something. She said "Huh" in surprise. Then she grabbed Chu Jiangmian's arm and pointed at the other side loudly and shouted.
"Brother Jiang Mian! Look...what is that?"
Chu Jiangmian looked in the direction of her finger, and couldn't help but be stunned. In the grass under the tree dozens of feet away, an animal was lying there. The sunlight shone through the gaps of the leaves on it, and its whole body was white, as if it was carrying an invisible light. It noticed that it was discovered, and when it struggled to get up, it staggered and fell to the ground. Obviously, it was injured.
Xueer, whose eyes were attracted, had already taken Chu Jiangmian's hand and wanted to get closer to see clearly. Zheng Qi hurriedly followed by his side with a knife, fearing that something would happen again. When he got closer, Chu Jiangmian's eyes lit up. He could see clearly that it was a white reindeer.
"Ah! So beautiful. Brother Jiang Mian, is this a deer? But why is it white? I have never seen it before!"
"Yes. It's a deer...it should be the one that was chased by a cheetah just now. As for why it's white, this question is very complicated, and you won't understand it even if you say it."
