Chapter 295 You will meet it in your dreams
Su Mowan went around to the other side, leaned against a tree trunk, and stopped moving.
The seventh princess loves to play so much, let her have her fun.
The Seventh Princess over there had also found a good angle and took a quick glance at Su Mowan. Su Mowan raised her hand to indicate that she should do as she pleased.
So the Seventh Princess happily took her stance, gritted her teeth and drew back the bow in her hand. Suddenly, she loosened her grip, and the arrow on the string flew out with a whoosh.
Then a wild pheasant let out a miserable scream.
The seventh princess shouted excitedly, "I hit it! I hit it!"
Before the words were even finished, the wild pheasant flapped its beautiful wings and darted away.
An arrow was clearly visible sticking out of the pheasant's rear end.
Su Mowan smiled; it turned out the shot had missed.
The seventh princess had run out of arrows. Seeing the pheasant flee, she was so anxious that she was about to give chase, shouting, "Stop right there! Where do you think you're going! I don't believe it—"
"Shh-"
The black arrow shot out and caught up with the wild pheasant that was scrambling left and right before the Seventh Princess's last words had even faded.
One arrow killed him.
Before the Seventh Princess could even gasp in surprise, she quickly chased after the pheasant and found it lying dead on the ground, not even struggling.
"Sister-in-law, that's amazing! The pheasant is dead! We don't even need to go back to kill it, so much easier!"
As the Seventh Princess was speaking, she reached out to pick up the pheasant on the ground, but Su Mowan quickly called out, "Don't move!" and told the guards behind her to go and pick it up.
"They're all dead, what can they possibly do to me?"
The Seventh Princess wanted to fetch it herself. Although she didn't shoot it, her arrow was still stuck in the chicken's rear end, so she deserved some credit, didn't she?
Seeing the bow being handed to Yinshuang who was leaning closer, Su Mowan explained to the Seventh Princess, "You are of noble birth, so just in case, it's best not to touch things like pheasants."
Su Mowan didn't know if bird flu existed in ancient times, but it's always good to be safe than sorry.
The seventh princess then realized it was for her own good, and she pouted sullenly, saying "Oh."
But in the next instant, the Seventh Princess, with a smug smile on her face, said to Murong Jing behind her, "Third Brother, do you think my archery skills have improved a lot?"
Murong Jing glanced at the pheasant being carried by the guard, then at the arrow slanted into it, and gave a faint "hmm".
When Su Mowan saw Murong Jing's troubled expression, she couldn't help but laugh, and a smile inadvertently appeared on her face, which was overheard by the Seventh Princess.
The Seventh Princess turned around and glared at her, probably knowing what Su Mowan was laughing at. She immediately glared and said, "What are you laughing at? At least you didn't miss the target, right? That's already pretty good, okay? You don't know what I was like back then—"
"I know, I know! You don't need to say anything more, you've definitely improved a lot! Keep up the good work, and make sure you hit the target next time!"
As Su Mowan spoke, she and Yinshuang retreated back onto the path. If what Murong Jing had said was true, then the Seventh Princess's archery skills had indeed improved considerably.
The Seventh Princess snorted triumphantly and withdrew as well. She went to the guard's side to examine the pheasant, and suddenly said with a hint of regret, "This pheasant's feathers are quite beautiful. It's a pity it's dead. If it were alive, I could have taken it back to the palace to raise it."
That pheasant was indeed beautiful, with long feathers and a glossy, deep blue color, which was quite rare.
Su Mowan glanced at the Seventh Princess and said, "It's alright. After it's in your stomach tonight, you'll see it in your dreams."
"..."
The Seventh Princess cleared her throat and said, "Between eating and nourishing, I'd choose eating."
Su Mowan smiled, knowing that the Seventh Princess's foodie nature would never change.
Along the way, they caught several more wild pheasants with different plumage. Princess Seven got more and more excited as she played, and her feel for the game became more and more accurate.
Although it didn't kill instantly, it almost hit a vital spot.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, we reached the depths of the forest, where a gust of autumn wind blew by.
The cold air seeped into her collar, and the Seventh Princess shivered, pulling her padded jacket collar tighter.
Upon seeing this, Su Mowan took off her fox fur coat and called to the Seventh Princess, who was walking two steps ahead, "Little Seven, put this on."
The Seventh Princess blinked and subconsciously glanced at her Third Brother. Seeing that he had no expression on his face, she asked with delight, "What will happen to you if I wear your clothes?"
That's what they say, but Su Mowan knew that the Seventh Princess had been coveting this fox fur coat for a long time. Last time, she said she wanted to try it on, but as soon as she put it on, Murong Jing came in, which scared the Seventh Princess so much that she quickly took it off.
This time, she handed it to her on her own initiative, and the Seventh Princess couldn't wait to wear it for several hours without taking it off!
Su Mowan naturally noticed the Seventh Princess's subtle glances at Murong Jing's expression, so she smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, I don't feel cold. You should put it on so you don't catch a cold."
Su Mowan has internal energy protecting her, so she doesn't feel too cold. The Seventh Princess is a lively girl, and she's not wearing many clothes either. She'll easily catch a cold when she gets tired of playing and doesn't want to move anymore.
Seeing that her third brother was not unhappy, the seventh princess went over and took the fox fur coat, shook it out, and put it on herself.
Seeing her overjoyed expression, Su Mowan couldn't help but smile. She helped her tie it up herself and then straightened her collar.
The seventh princess kept smiling at her, looking just like a child who had received candy.
Su Mowan chuckled. She was almost fifteen. It's true what they say, that carefree people live younger lives.
I had just finished getting the Seventh Princess ready when I heard Murong Jing's voice from behind me.
"You wear my clothes."
Turning around, he saw that Murong Jing had already taken off the crane feather cloak he had just put on.
Su Mowan initially wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, she took it and put it on.
Luckily, Su Mowan is tall enough; if it were the Seventh Princess, she would probably be dragging on the ground.
The cloak still held some warmth, and Su Mowan pulled it closer, a sweet feeling washing over her.
In my past life, when we went on missions, my brothers would wear whatever clothes they wanted, but they just couldn't pull it off with this kind of style.
The Seventh Princess stared at Su Mowan for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "I feel like my Third Brother is definitely cursing me in his heart."
"...Why?" Su Mowan cleared her throat and asked.
The Seventh Princess covered her lips with one hand and said, "Because you gave me the fox fur coat, but in the end it was my Third Brother who suffered from the cold! No wonder he curses me in his heart!"
"..."
Su Mowan chuckled, knowing that Murong Jingcai wouldn't be frozen by such a low temperature.
The seventh princess pulled her along at the front, with a guard following closely behind carrying the seventh princess's bow and arrow.
This time, they hadn't walked for long when they heard a faint sound coming from the withered grass.
The Seventh Princess immediately released Su Mowan's hand and reached behind her without turning her head. The guard understood and quickly handed her a bow and arrow.
The bushes were quite tall; you could only vaguely tell there was something inside, but couldn't see it clearly.
Just as Su Mowan was about to remind the Seventh Princess to be careful, she saw the Seventh Princess nock her bow and shoot an arrow with lightning speed.
Then they heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes. The Seventh Princess looked at the commotion with some surprise, wondering if the arrow had hit its mark.
Su Mowan arrived at the edge of the bushes a step ahead of the Seventh Princess. Just as she was about to bend down for a closer look, she saw a snow-white little rabbit struggling to move out of the bushes.
The seventh princess, who arrived later, also saw the scene and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a little rabbit!"
After exclaiming in surprise, her eyes suddenly reddened.
"What should I do? I actually hurt this cute little bunny!"
As the seventh princess spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She knelt down, wanting to pick up the injured little rabbit, but she didn't know how to do it and was at a loss for what to do.
The Seventh Princess's change was so rapid that Su Mowan almost didn't react in time. She finally came to her senses when she saw the princess squat down to hug the rabbit and hurriedly said, "Don't touch it yet, let me pull out the arrow first."
Su Mowan glanced around and, seeing no other rabbits, squatted down.
Fortunately, the Seventh Princess wasn't very good at archery, or perhaps the rabbit was just lucky; the arrow only hit its hind leg and didn't endanger its life.
Murong Jing, who was over there, could hear their conversation and knew that the Seventh Princess must be crying right now, so he instructed Yinshuang, "Go and take a look."
Yinshuang responded and went over.
When Su Mowan saw Yinshuang coming over, she asked her if she had a dagger on her. Yinshuang did have one, so she took it out and handed it to her.
"Go find Feng Yue and get some hemostatic medicine."
After giving the instructions, Su Mowan held the rabbit in one hand and gripped the dagger in the other, while also having the Seventh Princess hold down the rabbit's injured leg.
The leg pierced by the sword was already stained with blood. The Seventh Princess was a little hesitant, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she still reached out and pressed it down.
Su Mowan channeled her inner strength, gripped the dagger, and swiftly swung it. The Seventh Princess barely felt a tremor as the arrow was severed, the cut edge close to the rabbit's fur.
They acted with precision.
The seventh princess didn't feel anything, but the little rabbit did. It flinched slightly and then kicked its legs forcefully.
The Seventh Princess hadn't been holding her down very tightly to begin with, but she broke free at this point, and after kicking her injured leg a few times, the bleeding increased.
"So much blood! Will we die if this continues?" The Seventh Princess panicked upon seeing it.
Su Mowan threw the dagger in her hand to the ground and pressed down on the rabbit's leg with her other hand. "It's okay, Yinshuang brought some hemostatic medicine. Do you have a handkerchief on you? Take it out."
The seventh princess knew this was for bandaging the rabbit, so she quickly reached into her bosom.
At this moment, Yinshuang also returned, holding a small porcelain bottle in her hand.
Su Mowan asked Yinshuang to squat down and help. First, she turned the rabbit over, revealing the side of its injured leg where the arrow remained.
Yinshuang pinched the rabbit by the back of its neck, while Su Mowan pressed down on its leg with one hand and pulled out the arrow with the other, causing it to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The little rabbit was trembling all over, and it didn't even have the strength to struggle anymore.
The Seventh Princess looked at the bloody hole left on the rabbit's leg and tears streamed down her face again.
Su Mowan released the rabbit, pulled off the cap of the small porcelain bottle, and shook the hemostatic powder onto the rabbit's injured leg.
Then, she had the stunned seventh princess hand her the handkerchief, and with a few swift movements, she finished bandaging the wound.
The Seventh Princess thought it was all over, but then she saw Su Mowan take out a handkerchief from her bosom, tie it around the base of the rabbit's leg, and then tighten it.
