After instructing them, her eyes indicated to the Ke Yuehua who was standing beside them. The two of them arrived at the place they had just dismounted from their horses and waited for the carriage driver to bring them over.
After the coachman led the horses over, Ke Yuehua and the Shi Jinchen were both used in a handsome and nimble manner.
Because Ke Yuehua didn't know the way, Shi Jinchen had slightly led the way ahead. Now that they had finished looking at the situation, there were basically no gains from Shi Jinchen either.
He originally wanted to get some useful information, but now he couldn't even get a single bit of it.
"Take your time, there will always be something to look for. "Tomorrow you might be able to find some clues after looking at the corpse. With one clue, you can slowly figure out another clue, one at a time." Ke Yuehua knew that at this moment, Shi Jinchen was still thinking about the Young Marquis' death. No wonder Shi Jinchen revealed such a conflicted expression. This matter was something that could not be found even now.
"Hmm, I can only entrust all the clues to you going to see the corpse tomorrow. When the time comes, you can go with me and maybe help out a little." Shi Jinchen said to Ke Yuehua.
"Yes, I can." The Ke Yuehua thinks that since there's nothing much to do tomorrow, we should follow Shi Jinchen over to the Marquis' Mansion. "
After following Shi Jinchen and riding for a short distance, they arrived at the foot of a very large mountain forest.
"Let's dismount from the horse right here." After Shi Jinchen dismounted, someone handed over a bow and arrow, and also prepared a bow and arrow slightly lighter than Shi Jinchen's.
After taking the bows and arrows, Shi Jinchen said to the guards and the carriage driver, "You guys just wait here. There's no need to follow me."
After instructing her, Shi Jinchen looked towards the Ke Yuehua which he had just adapted to after receiving the bow and arrow.
"Let's go up the mountain first. When we get up the mountain, don't run around with me. Did you hear that?" Shi Jinchen warned.
"I heard you. Let's go up quickly!" Stay close to Jing Yi! " Ke Yuehua began to climb the mountain somewhat impatiently. Because she had not come out to hunt for a long time, in an instant, she felt a sense of nostalgia, as if she had returned to that familiar feeling from before.
"Miss, should I still not go? I'll just wait for Miss at the bottom of the mountain." Although Jing Yi was also very fond of fun, looking at the large densely packed mountains, which were filled with branches, forks, and shrubs, there was not even a road for them to climb up.
It seemed like there were very few people going up the mountain, and this mountain might have some kind of poisonous tongue. Since she wasn't as good at kung fu as the princes and princesses, it would be better if she didn't go.
"Really?" Ke Yuehua once again confirmed and inquired about Jing Yi.
"I really am not going. Miss, please be careful." Jing Yi still very humbly rejected Ke Yuehua, and also very worriedly said to Ke Yuehua.
"Fine, just wait here for me to catch you some game to try."
Ke Yuehua also did not continue to insist on inviting Jing Yi anymore, and instead, followed him up the hill in high spirits.
This was because there were fewer people from the mountain, or perhaps no one would come. Therefore, there was simply no path that could be passed through for Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua.
Therefore, Shi Jinchen walked in front and covered his face with his arm to block the incoming branches and weeds. The Ke Yuehua behind them, because they were opening the path ahead, walked very smoothly.
The two of them did not know how long they walked until they reached a small clearing. Then, they stopped to take a look at their surroundings.
But because there were branches and tall weeds everywhere, he couldn't see them clearly.
"Don't move first. I'll try to hear if there are any movements nearby." When Shi Jinchen saw this situation, if he were to continue walking aimlessly, he would probably not be able to find any prey by nightfall. He could only try and use his ears to listen for any signs of prey nearby.
Ke Yuehua also felt that this was a way, and thus, very obediently stood there without moving. At the same time, he also held his breath, in order to not disturb Shi Jinchen as much as possible.
Because this mountain was too big, and the range of movement of the prey was also very wide, they weren't sure if there were any prey near the location of the Shi Jinchen or not.
"There's only the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind. Let's walk to the front and take a look." Shi Jinchen spoke to Ke Yuehua before once again entering the area where the overgrown grass and trees intersected. Ke Yuehua followed closely behind.
The two of them walked up to a huge tree with extremely thick tree stumps. At this time, Shi Jinchen stood under the tree and checked for a bit, and in the next moment, Shi Jinchen used a light jump to jump onto the tree.
Shi Jinchen steadily rested on a tree branch that was as thick as a person's arm, and just like that, Shi Jinchen stood atop the tree branch as he began to survey his surroundings.
"There's a pheasant in the bushes behind you on your right. Let's go." As he spoke, he quietly jumped down from the tree, walked up to Ke Yuehua and pulled his Ke Yuehua's hand. Then, he walked in the direction of the wild pheasant that he had just discovered.
Because they were afraid that the disturbance would be too great, they scared away the wild pheasant, and the Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua were all progressing at a slow pace. Only when they were a few meters away from each other did the two people stop.
Perhaps it was because the wind was blowing heavily on the leaves and plants at this time, making a rustling sound in order to cover up the sound produced by the Shi Jinchen and the movements of the Ke Yuehua, that the wild pheasant did not notice that someone was approaching and continued to peck at the soil with its sharp beak, looking for something like a small worm.
Just as Shi Jinchen was about to pull the bow, Ke Yuehua extended his hand to block it. Two words.
So he put down his bow and arrow, and took a small step back so that he could have a bit more space to properly display his Ke Yuehua.
Ke Yuehua pulled his bow, positioned it properly, and narrowed his left eye to accurately aim at the wild pheasant.
When he felt that the time was about right, Ke Yuehua loosened his grip on the sword head. With a "whoosh" sound, he shot towards the wild pheasant that still did not sense the slightest bit of danger.
"Bam." The wild pheasant fell to the ground. However, it did not die immediately. Instead, it violently flapped its wings on the ground while wailing mournfully.
Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua stood in place and waited for a while. After determining that the wild pheasant was truly dead, Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua immediately went up to the wild chicken that had fallen to the ground.
After taking out the arrow that was shot by Ke Yuehua onto the wild pheasant, Shi Jinchen casually threw it to the side, and then casually pulled out a vine from the side. Because the vine was too long, Ke Yuehua timely took out a sharp little dagger from the leather pouch at his waist and handed it over to Shi Jinchen.
"Here, take this and cut it."
