Chapter 390: Did the Pitiful Pheasant Offend You?
Gu Qingjiu narrowed her eyes and looked up towards the source of the gunshot.
She saw that there were three students from another military school above.
Two girls and a guy.
The three of them were grinning.
That guy pointed his finger to his temples using his finger and made a gesture of firing a gun, appearing very arrogant.
Lu Yixin was seething with anger. Gu Qingjiu, however, placed her gaze upon the corpse of that wild rabbit. Lu Yixin held her back. “There are regulations in the training venue. One says that the prey belongs to whoever’s bullet hit it first. Let’s go elsewhere. No worries, this is such a huge place.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded, then followed Lu Yixin.
Upon getting a clear view of Gu Qingjiu’s appearance, the guy above whistled and shouted, “Hi, you seem unfamiliar. Are you new here?”
Since there weren’t many people in the Shooting Department and because of the annual competitions, everyone knew each other. Although not very well, but they could tell at one glance if someone was new here.
Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yixin paid no attention to him.
Gu Qingjiu had no idea how someone with such a hooligan vibe could come from the military school.
As she walked forward with Lu Yixin, Gu Qingjiu saw many plants she had never seen before.
The mountain was rather big and it would take a long time before they finished walking around.
Perhaps luck wasn’t on their side, for they didn’t see any prey along the way.
When they reached an intersection point, Lu Yixin pried away a bush and prepared to climb up.
Gu Qingjiu, who suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure dashing towards them, instantly raised her hand and pulled the trigger in one fluid movement.
‘Bang!’
As the gunshot sound entered their ears, that figure abruptly came to a halt.
It was a gray wild rabbit.
The anesthesia would take half a minute to take effect, but that wild rabbit collapsed instantly due to the impact of the shot.
When it wanted to get back up and continue running, the anesthesia set in, causing it to fall unconscious.
Stunned by Gu Qingjiu’s rapid speed, Lu Yixin instantly revealed a surprised smile. “Awesome, Qingjiu!”
The wild rabbit was akin to a moving target. Moreover, there wasn’t a fixed point and the speed of the wild rabbit was even faster than the highest speed of the moving target.
It was surprising how Gu Qingjiu easily managed to strike this prey.
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “But I didn’t hit its legs.”
It didn’t seem too practical to hit the legs under such rapid speed.
But she had the confidence to hit the rabbit.
Her intuition had always been spot-on. The object she was targeting only needed to have an adequate surface area, and she could sense that she would be able to hit the target.
This couldn’t be compared to hitting the bullseye of a moving target. After all, the rabbit was a much larger target comparatively.
“It’s not bad considering it’s your first time. Don’t overthink this!”
Lu Yixin sighed helplessly. She hadn’t expected Gu Qingjiu to look regretful.
Under those circumstances, she wasn’t even sure if she could hit a rapidly moving wild rabbit.
This person not only hit it but even looked regretful that she didn’t hit its legs.
One who behaved pretentiously would be hit by the lightning!
This was Gu Qingjiu’s first time training in the wilderness, and already she was putting up a noteworthy performance.
She walked over with Gu Qingjiu, placing the unconscious rabbit into the bag used for containing prey.
Lu Yixin felt sorry for the little rabbit as she held it up by its ears. “Actually, I’ve never been fond of hunting. Wild rabbits are too adorable.”
After a pause, she added, “I’d feel much better if this were a pheasant.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Did the pitiful pheasant offend you?
