In the afternoon, Jiang Yan did not go to the Youth League Institute and went to do other things with Hu Shixuan.

After Shen Xiaoxia finished lunch, she took a nap. When she woke up, she curled up on the sofa in her space and watched TV series.

I watched TV series all afternoon and was too lazy to make dinner. When I felt hungry, I ate a bowl of stored rice noodles.

Thinking that she had to get up early the next morning, Shen Xiaoxia set an alarm clock. She didn't stay up too long at night. She took a shower and went to bed around nine o'clock.

The next day, when she heard the alarm clock ringing, Shen Xiaoxia did not lie in bed and got up early.

After washing up, Shen Xiaoxia took a glass of milk and two buns to eat, considering that she would not have the chance to eat breakfast in the mountains later and hunting was a physical job.

After eating, he took two boiled eggs and a brown sugar bun.

He wrapped them in clean cloth and put them in his pocket, intending to give them to Jiang Yan to fill his stomach later. It was so early, he probably didn't have time to eat breakfast.

When they went out, everyone was still asleep. Shen Xiaoxia walked out of the Youth League compound with light steps and headed towards the mountain.

When they arrived at the agreed location, Jiang Yan was already waiting there. Shen Xiaoxia quickened her pace and walked over. Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming, Jiang Yan took two steps forward. When Shen Xiaoxia came closer, he handed the thing in his hand to Shen Xiaoxia and said, "Here..."

Shen Xiaoxia reached out to take it. Through the cloth wrapped around it, she could still feel a little warmth. Shen Xiaoxia squeezed it with her hand and asked him, "Egg?"

Jiang Yan nodded, "Yes, it's to fill your stomach. It will take a lot of energy to run later!"

Shen Xiaoxia didn't respond, but just smiled at Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xiaoxia reached into her pocket and took something out. "Here, for you!"

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, a relaxed smile on his face, "Eggs too?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, then took something out of another pocket and handed it to Jiang Yan, smiling slightly, "There are also steamed buns!"

Unexpectedly, the two of them thought of the same thing. Jiang Yan turned his head and chuckled, then reached out to take the steamed bun. "Did you make it yourself?"

Shen Xiaoxia couldn't say that she had hoarded it, so she could only admit that she did it herself.

Shen Xiaoxia asked Jiang Yan, "Have you eaten this morning?"

Jiang Yan got up early and boiled three eggs. He ate one himself and brought two to Shen Xiaoxia. "Eat a little to fill your stomach!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the steamed buns and eggs in his hands and said, "Then eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good if they get cold!"

Jiang Yan still had a smile on his face, and he didn't refuse. He led Shen Xiaoxia up the mountain while eating.

After he finished eating the steamed bun and two eggs, Shen Xiaoxia handed the eggs in her hand towards him.

"Two more? I thought I'd eat a full meal this morning because I'd be exhausted later. I can't eat anymore!"

Jiang Yan waved his hands and whispered, "That's enough. I can't eat any more. I've already eaten three eggs and I'm choking!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Yan with a smile in her eyes, "I shouldn't have brought you two eggs, I should have brought you two steamed buns. Eating too many eggs really makes you choke..."

Jiang Yan hadn't expected such a coincidence, but after eating so much, he was almost full. "It's okay, I'm almost full too."

The two chatted as they walked towards the place where they set the trap yesterday.

The two of them checked two traps in succession, but no prey was caught. Shen Xiaoxia was puzzled, "Is there little prey in this season?"

Jiang Yan raised his hand and carefully removed the wood chips that had fallen on Shen Xiaoxia's hair. He explained softly, "It's not a small amount. Maybe the prey didn't come this way. Let's go look somewhere else."

Afraid that there would still be no gains, Shen Xiaoxia was disappointed, so Jiang Yan gave her a heads-up in advance, "You have to treat prey like this with a normal mindset. You won't always get something."

Shen Xiaoxia understood that if it were that easy, the people in the village would not have eaten meat only a few times a year!

I followed Jiang Yan to the remaining places and got some results, catching a musk deer and an injured roe deer.

Collect the prey and hide it!

Jiang Yan took Shen Xiaoxia to try hunting on their own. If they could catch anything, that would be great. If not, they would just treat it as an experience!

Looking at the bow and arrow on Jiang Yan's back, Shen Xiaoxia called him and pointed in the direction of his back, "Can I try it later?"

She had wanted to try it last time, but she was not familiar with Jiang Yan at that time, so she was too embarrassed to ask.

Jiang Yan didn't expect Shen Xiaoxia to be interested in bows and arrows. "Have you tried it before?"

Shen Xiaoxia shook her head. "No, I just think archery is really cool, so I want to give it a try. Is that okay?"

Jiang Yan nodded gently, "Sure, do you want to try it now?

"Why don't you practice first? It'll be hard to hit the target if you aim at the prey for the first time!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded excitedly, "Okay! Okay! I'll practice first!"

Jiang Yan took off the bow on his back and took out one of the arrows. He first explained the structure and principle of the bow and arrow to Shen Xiaoxia, "This is the bow handle, this is the bow limb, and this is the bowstring..."

Jiang Yan patiently explained to Shen Xiaoxia the various structures of the bow. Shen Xiaoxia knew Jiang Yan's intentions and listened very carefully.

After he finished talking and Shen Xiaoxia understood, Jiang Yan picked up the bow and arrow and demonstrated the posture of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow. "First, look at how I pose, and then you can learn from me.

Look at my feet, spread them shoulder-width apart, my body slightly sideways toward the target, and my arms should remain stable..."

Listening to Jiang Yan's narration, Shen Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, okay!"

After Jiang Yan demonstrated, Shen Xiaoxia reached out to take the bow and arrow and learned to draw the bow like Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at Shen Xiaoxia, "Adjust your posture first and stand up straight!

Then spread your feet and keep them shoulder-width apart, so you can better maintain your body balance!"

Shen Xiaoxia kept adjusting her posture according to Jiang Yan's voice.

"Yes, that's about it."

Then he taught Shen Xiaoxia to nock the arrow, "Look here, the tail of the arrow should be stuck in this position on the string, not too loose or too tight."

Jiang Yan taught carefully and Shen Xiaoxia also learned seriously.

Shen Xiaoxia was much smarter than Jiang Yan thought. She basically understood after just a few simple pointers. "Now we can aim. Do you see that tree in front?"

Following Jiang Yan's gaze, Shen Xiaoxia nodded. Jiang Yan told her, "Take that tree as your target. Now try to aim your bow over there."

Jiang Yan helped Shen Xiaoxia adjust the direction of the bow and arrow, "Focus!"

"Yes, it's roughly this position and this posture. Try to remember how it feels now, and then follow this standard."

After Shen Xiaoxia got used to it, Jiang Yan slowly spoke, "Okay, now keep your posture steady and shoot the bow steadily!"

Shen Xiaoxia took a deep breath, released the bowstring, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh, brushing past the tree trunk.

Shen Xiaoxia felt a little regretful that the bullet didn't hit the tree trunk.

Jiang Yan looked at the point where the arrow had landed and consoled him, "It's quite impressive that you managed to hit it this well on your first try! Do you want to try a few more times?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I'll practice some more."
