The majority of their time was spent hunting larger prey.

Qi found them particularly intriguing and believed that “large ones are interesting!” Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but be amused by Qi’s growing appetite for a challenge.

Curious about Qi’s capabilities, Qiao Xuan utilized her superpower to survey the surroundings.

To her delight, she spotted well-built wild goats traversing the mountains. These goats were accustomed to navigating through forests and woodlands, resulting in their flesh having a firm and resilient texture.

If they managed to successfully hunt one of these wild goats, they could even enjoy a delicious grilled meal later in the evening.

Following Qiao Xuan’s lead, the group ventured further into the depths of the mountains. Amidst the lush shrubs and towering grass,Qi’s sharp eyesight caught sight of something before anyone else did.

She whispered, urging everyone to remain quiet. “There’s a flock of wild goats on the south side of the valley! We need to be silent; they are incredibly cautious and will bolt at the slightest sign of danger!’

Aware of the agility and swiftness of wild goats, the group understood that if the goats were startled, they would swiftly flee, making it nearly impossible to catch up with them.

“So we’ll stay put and wait for Qi to make his move, is that the plan?”

“Well, I suppose we’re all in favor of the wind blowing in our direction when it comes to securing some delicious meat.”

“Quiet!’

It was evident that everyone’s mouths were watering at the thought of the succulent meat, and they were all eager to work together to ensure a successful hunt.

Wild goats posed a formidable challenge to catch, but Qi remained undeterred.

With a mischievous grin and his white teeth on display, he declared, “Wait here, I’ll go and check it out!”

“Alright, we’ll eagerly await your good news,” the others replied in unison, nodding in agreement.

They concealed themselves, blending into the surroundings, while Qi displayed his agility, leaping alongside the rugged terrain and dense foliage.

Observing Qi’s movements, Qiao Xuan whispered to Shao Yunduan, “It’s been two months since we last saw him, and he i s grown so much. He looks completely different now! ”

Shao Yunduan agreed with a smile. “Indeed, teenagers grow at an astonishing pace.”

Qi showcased his speed and agility as he closed in on the flock. With his bow drawn and a long arrow in place, he took aim.

The flock, sensing an imminent threat, became alert. The leading goat raised its head and let out a shrill cry, causing the entire group to panic and scramble uphill.

However, in that critical moment, Qi released the arrow. It soared through the air like a bolt of lightning, swiftly closing the distance between itself and its target.

Soon, a wild goat fell to the ground, struck by Qi’s arrow. The group erupted in cheers and applause.

In swift succession, another arrow was released, bringing down yet another goat.

Shao Sanlang and Taotao, filled with excitement, rushed forward to join in the celebration.

Qi swiftly prepared more arrows, taking aim at the remaining goats. Two more shots were fired, finding their mark and causing two additional goats to meet their end.

“Brilliant shot, Qi! Your aim was impeccable!”

“We’ve got two goats! Well done, Qi, well done!” “Amazing! I couldn’t even keep track of how many arrows you shot!”

‘Qi, your archery skills are truly remarkable!”

Shao Xiaoqi blushed slightly at the compliments, shifting the focus by asking Qiao Xuan a question. “Fifth Sister-in-law, what should we do with these two large goats?”

This piqued everyone’s interest.

“Fifth Sister-in-law, how about we have grilled mutton? I’ve been craving it for so long!’

“Count me in! Although 1 wouldn’t mind having braised goat’s feet too!”

With their mouths watering at the thought of the delicious meal, they began discussing different ways to prepare and enjoy the wild goats.

Yuezheng Xiao had previously gifted Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan a generous supply of cumin powder brought from the northwest by Yuezheng Hong. This special spice would add a unique flavor to the grilled mutton, making it an instant family favorite..
