Chapter 195 Hunting Robbery
It was the first time that Jiang Yue and other soldiers encountered such a pleasant moment during the expedition.
Jiang Yue and the other two were completely relaxed both physically and mentally.
The soldiers' coming and going broke the silence of the forest.
In the snowy mountains and forests, one or two animal footprints are occasionally found, but the animal is never seen.
"There's nothing but barren land around here, where can we find prey?" Wu Fei wanted to hunt a roe deer, because at least it had more meat than a wild rabbit.
"The forest is so big, let's go ahead and take a look." Xue Wen suggested, pointing to the woods in the distance.
"Let's go." Jiang Yue ate cabbage and steamed buns all day long, and also wanted to improve her diet.
Because they wanted to eat meat, they walked further away.
Gradually, the number of their soldiers decreased, and finally, only the three of them were left.
Jiang Yue's hard work paid off, and she finally spotted a fast-running hare.
She immediately drew her bow and arrow to its full extent, as she could not let go of this opportunity.
With a whoosh sound, a wild rabbit was shot through the neck by her arrow while running.
Wu Fei and Xue Wen, who had shot arrows in vain, stopped at the same time.
When facing Jiang Yue, there was no embarrassment on their faces, but instead more smiles.
Hunting is not easy, but at least there is meat to eat.
Wu Fei trotted over to pick up the hare, picked it up, and tied it together with his belt.
The three of them continued on their way.
"Jiang Yue, do you think there are any wild roe deer nearby?" Wu Fei asked.
"Try your luck." How would Jiang Yue know this?
"If you're lucky, you might even run into a wild boar."
If this were true, they would not only have meat to eat, but the entire military camp would also have broth to drink.
In the past, the Jiang family lived backed by the mountains, but she had very few opportunities to hunt herself because she was busy every day.
As we walked further away, we saw more and more footprints in the snow.
Jiang Yue felt a little strange. She glanced behind her at the empty forest.
"Why are there so many footprints here?"
"Maybe the soldiers secretly ran out to hunt at ordinary times." Xue Wen thought so. He felt that someone must have done what he wanted to do but did not dare to do.
If the Major General had not sympathized with the soldiers and allowed them to rest for a day,
Under normal circumstances, soldiers who went out without permission would be severely punished.
Who knows whether you went out without permission and met with the enemy?
It is most unacceptable to have traitors infiltrate the army.
"Or maybe they are the people in hiding." Wu Fei also guessed.
This place was originally occupied by the enemy, and the people had nowhere to hide, so it is not impossible that they hid in the mountains and forests to live out their days.
"Both are possible." Jiang Yue and the other two continued to move forward.
The footprints have not diminished.
Wu Fei was puzzled again, "Could it be that this is the end of the forest, and there is a village on the other side of the forest? And these footprints are left by those villagers?"
Xue Wen shook his head. "There are only mountains ahead. There is no village."
"It is very likely that they are robbers in the mountains, or the two thousand enemy soldiers who escaped." After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Wu Fei and Xue Wen's originally relaxed faces suddenly became alert.
Wu Fei: "Then the three of us..."
Xue Wen: "Should we... go back and call for help?"
Wu Fei: "If they are really the enemy, I'm afraid we will be in great danger if we are alone with the three of us."
"..." The two of them were talking to each other, and they began to retreat.
Jiang Yue held her breath and immediately made a gesture to the two people behind her to keep quiet.
"Shh!"
Wu Fei and Xue Wen were full of questions.
Is there something wrong?
Could it be that there really are enemies?
Jiang Yue drew his bow and shot an arrow, which was already pointing at the bushes in the distance.
An arrow was shot out with a whoosh, and the arrow penetrated, and groaning sounds could be heard at any time.
Jiang Yue looked at the black-haired prey in front of her excitedly, with a smile on her lips.
Wu Fei and Xue Wen had already rushed to the front.
The two of them temporarily forgot about Jiang Yue’s analysis. The excitement in their eyes and brows could be felt throughout the forest.
"When it comes to hunting, we still have to rely on our captain!" Wu Fei said as he ran.
"Wrong, it's the captain of a thousand men!" Xue Wen corrected.
Jiang Yue followed quietly behind him while remaining alert to her surroundings.
"Wu Fei and Xue Wen, be careful around you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another sound of "Puff", and the arrow pierced the flesh.
Along with,
"Hahaha……"
The sound of wild laughter,
"This beast can run!"
"We've been chasing it for a long time, and finally caught it!"
Then, two men in plain clothes walked out from behind the bushes.
The smiles on Wu Fei and Xue Wen's faces had already frozen.
Can you get robbed just by hunting?
Jiang Yue strung the arrow in his hand again, then dropped it lightly, watching the scene in the distance intently.
The two men took a step ahead of Wu Fei and Xue Wen, and lifted the wild boar on the ground, one at the head and one at the tail.
And, as he walked:
"After returning, I can finally have a good meal with my brothers."
"Oh, that's not right. Why is there an arrow here..."
As they were talking, the two of them noticed Wu Fei and Xue Wen and were startled at the same time. They were surprised to see Wu Fei and Xue Wen in their military uniforms.
At this moment, Wu Fei and Xue Wen looked very unhappy.
"We were the first to hunt this wild boar!" Wu Fei was about to snatch the pig's head when he was pushed hard by the man.
"If you want to eat, go hunt for yourself!"
There was still some fear on the faces of the two men.
One person said: "Don't think that just because you are soldiers you can bully us at will."
"Who is bullying you? We two just saw it clearly. We were the first to hunt the wild boar." Wu Fei frowned and glared, trying to reason with the two people opposite him.
Xue Wen: "Want to rob on the way? How is that possible!"
The two people opposite listened to Wu Fei and Xue Wen talking to each other, a fierce look flashed across their eyes, and then, they turned into a pitiful look.
"This is clearly our prey."
"If we hadn't chased it, this beast wouldn't have been able to escape your arrows."
After saying that, the two of them carried the wild boar and were about to leave.
"Stop!" Jiang Yue stopped the two of them.
Taking a closer look at their attire, at first glance, they appear to be ordinary common people.
But if you observe carefully, he is not like ordinary people.
"It's true that you drove the wild boar here. It's also true that you chased it. How about this, I'll give you half. If you don't agree, you can't have a single cent of this wild boar."
"Half each? You're dreaming!" One of them said coldly, definitely not wanting to give the meat away.
They took the pigs and were about to leave again.
Wu Fei and Xue Wen tried to stop them at the same time, and the four of them started fighting immediately.
Before the fight, one person winked at the other, and their eyes met.
Another of them, already carrying the boar, ran away quickly.
From the beginning to the end, they never took Jiang Yue seriously.
"I'll leave this man to you!" Jiang Yue did not join in, but looked at the figure carrying the wild boar in front of him and quickly chased after him.
Although the two men were in plain clothes, she felt something was wrong from their eyes. They were either enemy soldiers or passing bandits, so she thought of chasing them to find out what was going on.
