On a small slope not far away.
Chu Xun held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, his gaze sharp.
His tall, upright figure looked immensely imposing and profound in the eyes of the two women, leaving a deep impression.
Swoosh…
Another sharp arrow burst forth, flying straight toward the frenzied wild boar!
The wild boar showed no fear. The moment it saw Chu Xun’s position, it scraped at the ground with its hooves and charged toward him.
Pfft!
The arrow struck the wild boar’s shoulder blade.
But for a wild boar weighing three hundred jin, this obviously did not cause much damage.
It still roared and charged at Chu Xun.
With that speed and terrifying size, it could probably send Chu Xun flying two li away in an instant.
Damn it, the power of the recurve bow is still not enough.
I definitely need to save up Shop Coins and buy a compound bow later!
I want to pierce it clean through with one shot!
Chu Xun cursed under his breath.
Then he quickly found a tall tree nearby and climbed it in a hurry.
He had originally planned to shoot the wild boar dead when it reached him.
But the recurve bow was not strong enough.
On top of that, the wild boar had thick skin, so even after two arrows it still had not been killed.
Right after Chu Xun climbed the tree, the wild boar charged over as well and rammed headfirst into the trunk.
The impact shook the entire trunk several times.
Grunt-snort…
The wild boar circled the trunk angrily, as if trying to figure out how to dig up this tree by the roots and knock it down.
But Chu Xun, up in the tree, found a sturdy branch and straddled it.
He pulled out another arrow.
He flexed his sore shoulder slightly, then slowly aimed at the wild boar.
Those two rapid shots just now required both accuracy and power, and Chu Xun’s shoulder was already aching.
Not far away, Qin Yue’er and Chu Qing were both wide-eyed, staring fixedly at Chu Xun as he drew the bow and nocked the arrow.
They only felt that he looked like a god descending to the mortal world, heroic beyond compare.
After a simple aim, Chu Xun fired again.
A miserable scream rang out.
Blood poured from the wild boar’s eye as it thrashed wildly on the ground, wailing nonstop.
That arrow had actually pierced straight through one of the wild boar’s eyes.
The arrow drove in half a foot deep, blood gushing out.
But at this point, the more severely injured the wild boar became, the fiercer it grew.
It clung tightly to the tree, as if determined to climb up and bite Chu Xun to death.
Chu Xun was baffled by its refusal to run even after being so badly injured. Was it here to deliver meat to his doorstep?
Then he fired several more arrows in succession.
Only when the wild boar’s body crashed heavily to the ground, completely motionless, did he stop.
Chu Xun used the warehouse to take the arrows back, then summoned them out again.
He fired five more arrows into the wild boar, pinning it through and through.
After confirming that the wild boar was dead, Chu Xun jumped down from the tree and walked toward the two women in the distance.
He called out, “Yue’er, little sister, the wild boar is dead. Come down quickly.”
Hearing Chu Xun’s voice, Qin Yue’er and Chu Qing, still in the tree, both broke into relieved smiles after surviving a disaster.
When they looked down, they saw the handsome figure standing below the tree with his bow.
Qin Yue’er could not help but shed tears of excitement.
She had almost never gotten to see Brother Xun again. Once more, he had saved her life.
Chu Qing, on the other hand, had stars in her eyes.
Although she had already known from last time that big brother was extraordinarily skilled with a bow, this was still the first time she had seen such a shocking scene.
Her big brother had risked his life fighting the wild boar to save her, and in the end had killed it and rescued her~
Mm, so amazing~
Seeing the two of them in the tree, Chu Xun asked with concern, “Are you two okay? Can you get down?”
Hearing that, Chu Qing said anxiously,
“Big brother, Sister Yue’er twisted her ankle while saving me just now. Hurry and help her down first.”
Yue’er is hurt?
Chu Xun’s heart jolted. He looked at Qin Yue’er’s bleeding ankle and felt heartbroken.
Standing under the tree, he spread his arms and said, “Yue’er, come down slowly. I’ll catch you below.”
Qin Yue’er’s face turned red, and her peerlessly beautiful features became even more charming.
Brother Xun was showing her such concern in front of his sister.
This made her very shy, and she softly replied, “Mm.”
Then, with Chu Qing’s support, Qin Yue’er slowly slid down the trunk.
Chu Xun hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist and carefully helped Qin Yue’er down.
“Thank you, Brother Xun.” Qin Yue’er’s ankle hurt so much that tears kept falling, but her eyes were full of affection.
If Chu Qing had not still been there, she might even have kissed Chu Xun’s lips right away.
Chu Xun smiled and said, “It’s fine. I should be the one thanking you for saving my sister.”
Then he looked up at Chu Qing in the tree and said, “Little sister, you come down too. I’ll catch you.”
Chu Qing felt delighted inside. Actually, she could have gotten down on her own.
But as soon as she heard Chu Xun say he would catch her, her body instantly went weak.
Her voice carried a bit of worry as she said, “Big brother, I’m a little scared. My legs feel weak.”
Leaning against the tree, Chu Xun stretched out his arms and smiled. “Don’t be afraid. I’ve got you.”
Only then did Chu Qing nod in relief.
She slowly stretched out her leg, stepped onto a branch, and carefully made her way down toward the ground.
After Chu Xun carried Chu Qing down from the tree by her waist,
Chu Qing, with slightly red ears, was just about to ask big brother how he had known she was in danger, when she caught sight of Chu Xun going straight to Qin Yue’er.
He pulled up her pant leg and openly inspected Sister Yue’er’s ankle!
Buzz…
Chu Qing felt like her mind had been shaken.
How could a man touch and look at a girl’s foot?
Wasn’t big brother afraid Sister Yue’er would be angry?
She was about to step forward and explain a few words, but was suddenly stunned speechless by the scene before her.
There was her beloved big brother, holding Sister Yue’er’s ankle.
The concern in his eyes could not be hidden at all, as if Sister Yue’er were his wife.
And Sister Yue’er’s gaze toward big brother…
It was watery and tender, her face blushing, with none of the shame a girl should feel at being offended.
The way the two of them looked at each other, the way they stood… no matter how she looked at it, something was wrong…
No! There was definitely something going on between them!
Chu Qing felt sour all over, so jealous she could almost bubble over.
But given her position, she could not say anything and could only stand there.
“It’s a twisted ankle, but it’s not serious. The skin is just a little scratched. When we get back, I’ll get you some medicine to rub on it, and it’ll be fine.”
After checking carefully, Chu Xun finally relaxed.
If not for the two of them being there, it would not have been convenient to use medicine from the shop.
Chu Xun almost wanted to take out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao right then and there.
In the end, he tore several strips from his own clothes, wrapped them around the wound, and simply stopped the bleeding.
Qin Yue’er’s brows and eyes curved into a sweet smile, like crescent moons.
Looking down at Chu Xun’s serious and determined face, she was deeply moved.
Just now, she had truly felt she was going to die here and would never see Chu Xun again.
But luckily, at the crucial moment, Chu Xun came once more and saved both her and Chu Qing.
The two of them standing there, wrapped up in each other’s feelings, gave off a sweet romantic aura.
That made Chu Qing, standing nearby, feel wronged and filled to the brim with jealousy.
Big brother is clearly my big brother. How can Sister Yue’er openly steal him away like this?
She clenched her small pink fists and shouted, “…”
