After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

After the ceremony of "marrying a daughter-in-law", the children seemed to have more to say, and they pulled the two of them to continue playing the next plot.

Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu still had enough time, so after thinking about it, they continued to fight with the children.

However, after a while, Qi Zizhen could only silently look at the slingshot handed to him by the child in his hand, not knowing what to say.

When the child handed it over, he also explained to him thoughtfully that the custom here is that the husband must go out to hunt in person after getting married, and after the prey is brought back, it will be skinned and kept as a testimony.

But the problem is that Qi Zizhen doesn't know how to use a slingshot.

In this world, although he often saw the little boys in the martial arts gym playing with slingshots and knocking down the fruit with the slingshot, but he basically picked the fruit by climbing directly to the tree.He also took a group of little boys to climb trees with him, so in the end, he didn't actually touch the slingshot.

Xu Shi noticed Qi Zizhen's embarrassment at this moment, and Song Yaoxu beside him asked with a smile, "Do you know how to use it?"

Qi Zizhen nodded, and said a little dejectedly, "I've never played with something like this before."

A little boy next to him listened, and finally came up with some doubts belatedly: "Huh? Brother Qi hasn't played this before? So are Brother Qi and Brother Jin from out of town?"

Qi Zizhen gave an affirmative answer, and after listening to the child's question, he asked again: "Do all your locals know how to play this?"

Speaking of this child, he seemed very proud, and said with a smile: "Of course! We in Jiuyou County can basically play this game!"

As he spoke, he explained the traditions here to the two of them.

It is said that since two years ago, there will be a particularly grand hunting competition in Jiuyou County every autumn.The rewards of this competition are particularly rich, and in order to ensure that everyone can participate, it is divided into three categories.

Adults can bring bows and arrows to the forest outside Jiuyou County for real hunting. Children and older people can use slingshots to hit the fruit in the fruit forest, and the person who harvests the most wins.

The winners of the adult group can get a box of silver, and the winners of the child group and the elderly group can get half a box of silver, which is very rich and attractive.

Moreover, this hunting competition does not distinguish between men and women, and all can participate.For this reason, the people of Jiuyou County are very enthusiastic. In just two years, almost those who can't draw bows and arrows will play with slingshots.

Qi Zizhen was amazed when he heard it, and Song Yaoxu also learned something from it. He glanced at the slingshot in Qi Zizhen's hand and said, "Since you said it can be used by men, women and children, then it's okay for me to go hunting, right?"

The child who was explaining nodded his head and continued: "According to the custom, the husband is required to go hunting, but if the husband can't go for some reason, the wife can too!"

With the child's approval, Song Yaoxu smiled and said, "Then let me 'hunt'."

As he spoke, he also took the slingshot from Qi Zizhen's hand.

Qi Zizhen looked up at him and asked curiously, "Can Ajin know how to use a slingshot?"

Song Yaoxu met his gaze, smiled and nodded: "Well, when I was young, my second brother loved to play with slingshots and bows and arrows the most, and he would always secretly take me to the suburbs to try it out when I was out of the palace. "Hunting"."

While speaking, there was a bit of hazy and unreal melancholy in his eyes, presumably he recalled what he saw and heard in Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday.

Qi Zizhen nodded and stopped asking, and suddenly there was another swallow-shaped kite in his hand.

"Brother Jin is going hunting, so brother Qi will come and release the paper kite with us, okay?" The girl still held the string connected to the paper kite in her hand, her bright eyes were full of anticipation.

Qi Zizhen didn't want to refuse, but since he hadn't let the kite fly, he was a little hesitant and embarrassed.

Seeing his thoughts, Song Yaoxu, who hadn't set off to the "hunting ground" with the other children, smiled lightly to help him out: "I'm also very interested in releasing paper kites, why don't we go hunting together first, and release paper kites together after we come back? More people may be more lively."

The children listened to what he said seemed very reasonable, and finally they all agreed, and happily went to their "hunting ground" together.

The "hunting ground" is the same as the previous ones. It is a small circle surrounded by leaves and stones. Inside the circle is a big tree with lush branches, and the so-called "prey" is the leaves on the tree.

Song Yaoxu walked near the big tree, bent down to pick up a stone, weighed it in his hand, and after confirming that it was suitable, raised the slingshot to aim at the big tree not far away, pulled the stone back slightly, and waited quietly for the opportunity.

Immediately afterwards, at a certain moment, he let go of his hand abruptly, and the stone rushed straight forward with a whoosh, and with a "snap", it just hit a falling leaf right through!

Qi Zizhen's eyes widened slightly, full of surprise.

The leaf was still more than fifty steps away from them. When it fell, it wobbled, sometimes stood up, and sometimes lay sideways. It was not easy to hit it, let alone passing straight through the leaf!

Not only Qi Zizhen, but the children were also surprised by Song Yaoxu, and it took a long time before they reacted and praised: "Brother Jin is so amazing!"

One of the children spoke, and the rest of the children responded one after another, and they flocked to Song Yaoxu's side, their eyes full of admiration.

Song Yaoxu smiled modestly: "It's just that I played a lot when I was young, so I'm familiar with it. Maybe you will be better than me when you grow up."

"Can we be as good as brother Jin in the future?" The children listened to his words, and there was a little more hope in their eyes.

Qi Zizhen on the side watched his interaction with the children, gradually recovered from the surprise just now, remembered something Song Yaoxu said before, and asked again: "Then...then Ah Jin said before that besides the slingshot, bows and arrows are also often used. Will it be used, is Ajin's bow and arrow also as powerful?"

Song Yaoxu thought for a while, and replied: "Should be about the same level, right? Bows and arrows and slingshots are actually similar in practical methods. My second brother used to say that I can use both of them very well."

Qi Zizhen was a little more surprised for a while.

These days, what he is most worried about is Song Yaoxu's self-protection after the battlefield. Although he has the foundation of sword practice before, the foundation of swordsmanship is not enough to save his life after all.

If he had known that Song Yaoxu was good at bows and arrows, he should have let Song Yaoxu use his strengths in bows and arrows directly.

Fortunately, there is no battle report from Tang Leyuan's side yet, and he still has time to prepare.

Song Yaoxu didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, after dealing with the enthusiasm of the children, he looked up and saw him staring at him with burning eyes.

He paused for a while, and asked a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Qi Zizhen pulled out of his own thoughts, shook his head, with a bit of tenderness in his eyes: "It's nothing, I just think Ah Jin just now is very good-looking."

His voice was very soft, and the warm sunshine seemed to be covered with a layer of warm temperature, so warm that people couldn't help but want to go forward and touch it.

But soon a child who still wanted to continue playing suddenly interrupted, breaking up the delicate atmosphere between them.

"The hunting is over, let's go release the paper kites!"

Seven or eight children took a total of four paper kites, stuffed one of them into Qi Zizhen's arms, and stuffed his inexplicable mood back.

He glanced at Song Yaoxu, then turned to find an open space with the children.

Song Yaoxu smiled after meeting his gaze, and followed behind them.

There are many trees planted near the Jiuyou River, and it is rare to find a truly complete open space. Qi Zizhen and the children found a place that should have enough space and prepared to put the paper kites together.

Perhaps it was because Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu seemed unfamiliar with the activity of letting go of paper kites. After finding a place, the children patiently taught them how to let go.

With the help of the children, Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu tried little by little, and successfully released the paper kite in their hands.

The wind in Jiuyou County was quite good, and after a while, some children let the paper kites fly one after another.All kinds of paper kites sway against the wind, dotted in colorful spots in the blue sky, and the small open space is full of immature laughter from children.

Qi Zizhen hadn't felt such a completely relaxed feeling for a long time since he fell to the bottom of the world.

He turned his head to look at Song Yaoxu, who was holding the thread on the other side, and looked at Song Yaoxu's eyes, which were also completely different from the usual demeanor, and his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent.

At this moment, two children may have accidentally gotten too close, and the flying paper kites in their hands got entangled and then fluttered down, one of them even landed on a tree not far away.

Several children gathered around the tree, but the tree was too high, and they couldn't get the paper kite down no matter what.

Qi Zizhen noticed the situation of the children, and after talking to Song Yaoxu, he planned to help them.

Song Yaoxu thought for a moment, then handed over the thread in his hand to another child beside him, and went with him.

The tree that caught the kite was by the Jiuyou River, and there were many thick and long branches. After a little estimation, Qi Zizhen decided, "I'll climb up and get the kite down."

In this world, he climbed trees a lot, and knew some skills more or less.

Song Yaoxu reminded worriedly: "Then remember to be careful."

Then Qi Zizhen tied up the wide-sleeved gown and the loose hem, walked under the tree, found the direction to go up, and climbed up neatly.

The tree wasn't very tall yet, and after a while he was standing on the thickest branch, and he could reach the paper kite as long as he stretched out his hand.

However, just when his hand touched the paper kite, a paragraph of words suddenly flashed in his mind——

【He climbed up the tree with ease, but the moment he got the paper kite, his foot slipped and he fell straight down, falling into a warm embrace. 】

【Then he heard a soft voice with trembling and fear in his ears: "This time, I caught you."】

At the same time, he inadvertently moved his footsteps, and accidentally slipped on the soles of his feet, and fell straight back holding the paper kite.

Seeing this, Song Yaoxu's pupils shrank slightly, and without a word, he took a step forward and caught Qi Zizhen firmly, but because of the slight impact, he half-kneeled on the grass, and there happened to be a stone at his feet——

If Qi Zizhen was allowed to fall, his head would definitely hit this rock.

Song Yaoxu recalled the scar on Qi Zizhen's back, recalled his understatement before, and couldn't help thinking for some reason, what would have happened if he hadn't come with him just now?

This thought made him flustered just for a moment, and he hugged him even tighter, his voice trembled slightly, as if he still had lingering fear.

"This time, I caught you."

The author has something to say: I found out that some cuties may have misunderstood that the author doesn't like to scatter flowers, check in, and cheer because of some remarks. I quietly said that most of the authors actually don't hate it!I really like to see you sprinkle flowers and check in to cheer!If you can't think of any plot comments, I'd be happy to leave a paw print~
