Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Luo Wuyou stared at Zuo Jinling in a daze. For the first time, she realized that the introverted and mute little brother who used to follow her had grown up and become a sharp-tongued young man without her noticing.

Moreover, the way he speaks, acts and looks at things is all different from hers.

"Brother Jinling, I find that you are a bit like my mother. Your point of view on handling things is so sharp!"

If Luo Wuyou simply said that Zuo Jinling was sharp, Zuo Jinling would definitely be terrified inside, wondering whether Luo Wuyou would be disgusted with him being like this.

But because Luo Wuyou said again that he looked like her mother, and since he looked like Aunt Qing'er, Zuo Jinling felt relieved, because in Sister Wuyou's heart, her mother was the most unique person in the world, and the person she admired the most and wanted to be like the most.

"Sister Wuyou, don't worry about my cousin. She lives in Huguang County and comes to my house very frequently. I have plenty of opportunities to entertain her and take her out to play."

"Even if she doesn't feel any sense of experience or participation this time, she will have many, many opportunities next time, and the next time..."

And you, you only come here once every few years, we are not on the same level at all.

Luo Wuyou also heard something from Zuo Jinling's words.

"Okay, the host will do as the guest wishes. Whatever you think is good, that's fine with me." Luo Wuyou smiled, "We'll be at your door soon. Let's go and take a look at our spoils. To be honest, I still don't know exactly how much we hunted!"

When the two returned home, they were told by the servants that everyone was counting the prey in the backyard.

So they left the horses to the servants and went straight to the backyard.

Somewhere in the backyard, the elders from both sides were there. Even Old Madam Zuo was supported by Yang Ruoqing and Jun Lan on each side, standing by and looking at the prey with a smile on her face.

Two servants were weighing with a large scale, and there was another servant next to them who was recording.

"Two musk deer: a total of 170 kilograms!"

"Eighteen rabbits: a total of ..."

"Colorful wild pheasant..."

Seeing Luo Wuyou and Zuo Jinling coming back, the elders all looked at them with admiration.

Yang Ruoqing even gave them a thumbs up: "You two are amazing, have you caught all the prey in the zoo in the back mountain?"

The two of them went out fishing a few days ago, and it is said that the fish they caught almost filled up the boat's hold. Today, the birds and beasts on land were 'affected' again. It can only be said that the hunting ability of these two children is extraordinary.

The truth of "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water" is perfectly interpreted in the two of them.

Compared to Luo Wuyou's pride and arrogance, Zuo Jinling is much more humble.

"Aunt Qing'er, you are too kind. Most of the credit here goes to Sister Wuyou. I am not as good as her!"

Hearing this, Luo Wuyou raised his eyebrows at Zuo Jinling and patted him on the shoulder: "My father taught me archery. If you have any questions in this area in the future, feel free to ask me!"

Zuo Jinling nodded and thanked her on the spot: "Okay, I will definitely ask Sister Wuyou for advice when the time comes!"

The conversation between the two children reached the ears of the adults. Some of them could not understand it, like Old Lady Zuo, who just felt gratified that the two children were making progress together.

There is another group of people who don’t understand, and that is Jun Lan and Wang Yanke, mother and daughter.

They had a deep sense of crisis and powerlessness, because these two people could legitimately get together to learn archery. But there were three people at the scene who could understand, or to be more precise, they didn't understand, but understood.

These three people are Zuo Junmo, Luo Fengtang, and Yang Ruoqing.

The three of them could tell at a glance the difference in archery skills between the two children by the marks of arrows on the prey.

Let’s put it this way, although on the surface, the prey hunted by Luo Wuyou accounted for the majority of the total prey, the subtlety of archery does not lie in the obvious quantity.

It depends on the part of the prey where the arrow hits, its shape, habits, running trajectory...all these aspects should be combined to deduce the circumstances under which the prey was hit.

Let’s put it this way, the prey shot by Luo Wuyou were basically dead when they were carried back, and even if they were not dead, they were dying.

But Zuo Jinling's arrows were very skillful in shooting the prey, which not only destroyed the prey's ability to move, but also ensured its vitality. When he encountered prey with very valuable fur, his arrows could preserve the integrity of the fur to the greatest extent.

For those small prey, Luo Wuyou's chance of hitting the target is much lower than Zuo Jinling's.

The ones shot by Luo Wuyou were basically those that were larger and more conspicuous.

Moreover, the prey often had to be hit by several arrows before it could be restrained from moving. Zuo Jinling could not only shoot small pheasants as big as a fist, he could also shoot large roe deer.

And for roe deer, he could basically hit the vital point with one arrow, so there was no need for a second arrow.

Therefore, the difference in archery skills between the two is obvious to the three experts: Zuo Junmo, Luo Fengtang, and Yang Ruoqing!

But Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang tacitly agreed not to expose the truth, and both of them kept smiling as they looked at the two children.

Zuo Junmo even reminded Zuo Jinling: "Yes, if you don't understand something, ask your sister Wuyou for advice."

"Yes."

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing had remained silent at first, but after hearing this, both of them blushed slightly.

Because when their daughter heard Zuo Junmo's instructions to Zuo Jinling, she also added: "Uncle Junmo, don't worry, I will tell you everything I know and teach you by example!"

At this time, Yang Ruoqing clenched her fist and put it to her lips and coughed softly: "My daughter, don't be proud, be humble. Jinling has many bright spots and specialties that you don't have. You should also learn from him more, and everyone can learn from their strengths and make progress together."

Luo Wuyou sensed something from Yang Ruoqing's words and eyes.

She restrained her gaffe caused by overexcitement, and quickly managed her emotions and facial expressions. Then she turned around and clasped her fists toward Zuo Jinling sincerely and humbly: "Brother Jinling, I was a little too proud just now. Let's make progress together and ask for each other's advice!"

Zuo Jinling also quickly returned the greeting.

Seeing the two children like this, the adults from both the Zuo and Luo families smiled knowingly.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

For example, Jun Lan and Wang Yanke at this moment, the mother and daughter saw Zuo Jinling and Luo Wuyou being humble to each other, especially with their fists clasped and bowing to each other, as if they were going to enter the bridal chamber!

"Aunt, I feel a little uncomfortable. I'll go back to my room first." Wang Yanke apologized to Old Madam Zuo and turned around and left.

Old Madam Zuo was still immersed in the happy and warm atmosphere, but when she suddenly heard Wang Yanke say that she was not feeling well, her smile froze and her eyes were filled with worry. (End of this chapter)
