Chapter 144 Women are not inferior to men
So now, looking at her reaction, how could Huo Haocheng not know what she was thinking? He went straight forward, pulled her to his side, held her hand, and could not let her go.
"Let me go, I can protect myself." Seeing that one of her hands was held by him, which had seriously affected her movements, Ruan Ruan said in a dissatisfied voice.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere, you can only stay by my side." Huo Haocheng said that letting go was impossible.
The two people walking in front of them heard their movements and turned to look at the two people pulling each other. Ruan Shaoke said, "Brother-in-law, there are so many of us. Just let my little sister go. Don't worry, she will be fine."
"You don't understand. I'm holding her not because I'm worried that something might happen to her, but because I'm afraid that something might happen to the wild boar, and then to me." At this time, Huo Haocheng didn't want to say anything more to them. Anyway, he couldn't let her go.
The few people who heard his words didn't know what to say. Anyway, they didn't hear the meaning of his words, so they ignored them because they found that it was not just one creature coming over, but a group.
A few people quietly poked their heads out from the bushes and watched a group of about ten wild boars, big and small, passing by the woods not far from them.
The men looked at each other and took out their machetes, which they had borrowed from the logistics department when they went up the mountain. After the wild boars had passed, they went up one by one and chopped at their hind legs.
Apart from Ruan Ruan and Gu Jingming, they could just get one each, so when they took action, Huo Haocheng asked Gu Jingming to keep an eye on his sister. At the beginning, Gu Jingming agreed, but after they took action, Gu Jingming felt that he could do it too, so he took out a slingshot, picked up stones on the ground and started shooting at the wild boar's butt.
Seeing that no one was watching her, Ruan Ruan picked up the bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the neck of the most ferocious wild boar. Bo Sirui cut off the leading wild boar's hind legs with a knife and was about to hit it in the neck, but it dodged and he hit it on the back. At this time, an arrow was stuck in its neck. Bo Sirui seized the opportunity and hit it in the neck again. The leading wild boar fell to the ground and could not get up.
Only then did he look in the direction from which the arrow came, and saw Ruan Ruan shot another arrow from her hand, and another arrow hit his neck.
With the assist of the sharpshooter Ruan Ruan, the battle was over in a short while. Fortunately, no one was injured. Only then did Huo Haocheng have time to turn around and look at her.
She looked at him proudly, and when their eyes met, he saw provocation in her eyes, and raised the bow in his hand, as if to say, look, I'm so awesome!
Huo Haocheng knew that she was powerful, but he never thought that her archery skills were so great. Facing her provocation, he just smiled and resigned himself to helping her pick up the arrow.
"Little sister, you're great. I didn't expect you had this skill." Ruan Shaolin never dreamed that someone who looked so delicate and soft could be so good at archery.
“Ahhh! Sister, you said before that you are very good at hunting, but I didn’t believe it. Now I believe it. Please teach me, sister. Please teach me.” Gu Jingming was impressed by her handsomeness when she shot the first arrow. If the situation had not allowed, he would have come over and hugged her and screamed. But it is not too late now.
"Yes, little sister, I didn't expect you to have this skill."
"I finally understand what Haocheng meant by being afraid of something happening to the wild boars. With your skills, isn't that what's going to happen to them?" To be honest, he always thought that Ruan Shaoke's sister was a little girl who was spoiled by her family. It was good enough for her to do some housework at home and share the burden of social interactions with Huo Haocheng.
But today, he was really given a big surprise. This level of archery skill would be impossible without several years of practice.
"That's awesome, little sister." Ruan Shaoke had never expected that his little sister, who had been living away from home since childhood, had such ability.
Amid their compliments, Huo Haocheng pulled her arrow out of the wild boar, wiped it in the grass, and handed it to her when there was no more blood. Seeing the look in her eyes, he asked, "Why don't you praise me?" Then he smiled and said, "Well, my sister is the best."
Hearing that he finally praised her, Ruan Ruan smiled happily.
"Eh... it's so shameless." Gu Jinghe watched the interaction between the two. Who doesn't have a wife? Next time he goes hunting, he will also bring their Doctor Jiang along.
"Alright, hurry up. There's such a strong smell of blood. Maybe some big guys will come here soon. Let's take these down the mountain quickly."
As they spoke, they all took their backpacks, each carrying a wild boar. Ruan Ruan and Gu Jingming cut a large branch and swept the blood on the ground, and covered the place with weeds. Then they followed behind them and cleaned up the blood dripping on the ground.
By the time they got down the mountain, the sun was about to set.
They sent the wild boar directly to the kitchen as a snack for their comrades.
When they were carrying the wild boar down the mountain, they were seen by many chatty sisters-in-law, so when they first arrived at the military kitchen, the news spread throughout the entire family compound.
After Ruan Ruan and Gu Jingming went down the mountain, they did not follow them. After they attracted the crowd to follow them, the two of them quickly ran back carrying the other small prey.
"Wow, I'm so tired. I've never run like this before." As soon as the two got home, they threw the prey on the ground and gasped for breath.
After resting for a while, the two began to cook. Ruan Ruan boiled water and Gu Jingming helped to pluck the hair. While they were busy, they heard someone calling them outside.
"Aunt, come in quickly." Hearing the voice, Ruan Ruan ran out. Seeing that it was her aunt, she immediately opened the door and let her in.
"We heard that you guys came back with a lot of wild boars. Your uncle has gone to the kitchen. I came to see you. How are you? Are you hurt?" When Teacher Shen heard that they had come back with a lot of wild boars, his first reaction was Ruan Ruan and Gu Jingming. They were a girl and a child, so they hoped they didn't get hurt.
"Aunt, we are all fine, no one is injured. You came at the right time. They went to deliver the meat and should be back soon. We are cooking, you can eat here later." After saying that, when she saw that no one came, she closed the door and pulled Teacher Shen to the backyard.
"Mom, you're here, come and help me, I don't know how to skin the rabbit!" He had already plucked the pheasant's feathers, but he had never skinned a rabbit before. He held the rabbit's ears, not knowing where to start.
"Put it down, I'll do it." Teacher Shen looked at his son who was in an embarrassment, and felt relieved to know that he was not injured. He immediately took the rabbit from his hand and started to operate it.
The three of them had a clear division of labor. When they came back, it was already dark. They also came back with Commander Gu and a wild boar. The wild boar had been cleaned up in the kitchen. When the leaders saw that they had killed so much meat, they felt embarrassed to take all of it. After discussing, they left one for them. They felt embarrassed to take one, so they stayed to help their comrades in the logistics department clean up before returning.
"Why did you bring so much back?" Ruan Ruan had just put the dishes on the table when she saw them coming back carrying a pig's meat.
“Given by the leaders”
Bring it back, there is no reason to not want it.
Seeing that everyone had returned, Ruan Ruan asked them to wash their hands and eat.
"It seems like you've gained a lot today," Commander Gu said, looking at a large bowl of chicken and a large bowl of rabbit meat on the table.
"Dad, you didn't see how awesome my sister was today. Just like that, in just a few strokes, she helped my brothers kill the wild boar. It was so awesome." When Gu Jingming heard Commander Gu say this, he immediately stood up and performed for him the scene of Ruan Ruan shooting arrows with voice.
"Oh, Ruan Ruan is so amazing! She is really as good as any man!" If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that this weak niece had such a skill.
"Hehe, sorry to have embarrassed my uncle and aunt." It's okay to show off in front of peers, but it's better to be more humble in front of elders.
When her brothers saw her look at that moment, they all laughed. If they had not seen her proud look, they would have believed it.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Huo Haocheng told them about the time when Ruan Ruan went hunting in the mountains with her father in her hometown when she was a child. Just like that, dinner ended with their laughter and praise.
