1620 Do You Think It Would Stay Still And Wait For You To Hunt It

The guards at the place were equipped with various weapons. Hexin took two sets of bows and arrows from the guards and handed a set to Yaoyao.

Yuan You was envious when she saw how dashing they looked with the quiver on their backs. She looked at Hexin and pointed at herself. “Cousin Hexin, why don’t I get a set of bow and arrows?”

“What’s the point when you don’t know how to shoot?” Hexin looked at her incredulously.

“I may not know how to shoot, but I can just pretend that I know how to,” Yuan You replied indignantly.

The corner of Hexin’s lips twitched. “Forget about it. There aren’t any extras. You can just walk behind us.”

“Look over there, Youyou,” Yaoyao suddenly shouted.

Yuan You lowered her gaze as she looked over, only to see Yaoyao pointing directly at her with an arrow. She jumped with fright. “What are you doing, Big Sis Yaoyao?”

Yaoyao chuckled and put her bow away. “Don’t be afraid. I was just joking with you. I won’t shoot.”

Yuan Yao patted her chest. “Don’t scare me like that. What if you accidentally shot at me?”

Yaoyao found this funny as she said, “Didn’t you notice there was no arrow on my bow?”

Yuan You blinked and remembered there was only a bow in Yaoyao’s hands and she felt a little embarrassed.

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll catch a little rabbit for you to play with later.” Yaoyao rubbed her head.

When they found out the Young Mistress was taking the princess and Miss Yuan hunting in the mountains, the guards assigned to them were all on high alert and could not be convinced to stay behind. They stuck close to the girls to protect them.

After going into the mountains, Yaoyao took out her bow and arrows and began to hunt.

It was at that time when Yuan You suddenly shouted, “Cousin Hexin, Big Sis Yaoyao, look, there’s a rabbit over there!”

Both of them turned to look when they heard her.

The rabbit had been chewing on some grass when it suddenly heard Yuan You’s shout and swiftly disappeared.

“Huh, it escaped.” Yuan You’s eyes widened with surprise.

Yaoyao laughed in exasperation when she saw this. “You were so loud that the rabbit heard you. Do you think it was going to stay still and wait for you to hunt it?”

Hexin could not help laughing as well. “You may be silly, but the rabbit won’t be.”

Yuan You felt defeated. “I thought the rabbit wouldn’t hear me.”

Yaoyao gave her an incredulous look. “Have you not seen a rabbit before?”

“I have,” said Yuan You. “I’ve seen it in drawings before.”

Yaoyao looked at her in disbelief, then turned to Hexin to say, “Where did you get this cousin from? She hasn’t even seen a rabbit before.”

Hexin was used to this by now and she explained, “My aunt doesn’t like small animals and their family doesn’t keep pets in the mansion. Youyou has never had the opportunity to see small animals.”

“No wonder,” Yaoyao said with realization.

Yuan You looked at Yaoyao curiously, “Big Sis Yaoyao, didn’t you grow up in the Palace? Why do you know so much?” Yuan You was brought up in the mansion and her mother was very strict. She was not allowed to go anywhere or have any fun, and her activities were limited to the Prime Minster Mansion and Prince Rui Mansion.

If she was brought up that way, Yaoyao—a princess—must have had an even stricter family. However, by the looks of it, it was not as Yuan You imagined.

“I didn’t grow up the way you think. My father has been teaching me martial arts skills since I was young. Even though I didn’t really get the hang of it, I’m still pretty good with my bow and arrow and Light Body Skill. Besides, my father would bring me, my older brother, and my younger sister hunting every year.” As Yaoyao was speaking, she suddenly turned and took out an arrow from her quiver, expertly putting it onto her bow and aiming it in a direction.

Whoosh.

Yuan You watched wide-eyed as the arrow was fired.

Zing!

The sound of an arrow striking flesh was heard clearly.
