Chapter 14: Sexual Harassment?

  "Are we taking this?" She looked at the thing stuffed into her hand in silence, truly doubting its reliability as a snack.

  What is this? A slingshot? Relying on this? Kids playing house?

  "Haha, don't underestimate this weapon. How did our Communist Party liberate all of China? With millet and rifles! Don't think that just because the weapons are not good, there's no hope for victory! Today is National Day, we should pay tribute to tradition!" Warlord was grinning from ear to ear, not feeling ashamed at all. It's true, what can be used is good. And this one is even semi-professional, Peng Cheng sniper rifle 7th generation eagle, magnesium aluminum alloy, she spent over 300 yuan on it."

  Zhan Zhan led the way, jumping and hopping as he went into the mountains. The fruit garden here had too many signs of human presence, and it was almost impossible to see any wild chickens, rabbits or birds. They would have to climb over a mountain ridge to find some.

  An Ran still had doubts about the thing in her hand, turning it over and over, then took the steel ball given by Zhan Zhuang to try it out.

  The rubber band is uneven on both sides, and the steel ball that was clearly shot forward somehow went off in a different direction.

  Before he could even say "heart", the warrior in front of him had already jumped up, clutching his back and letting out a loud "ahh".

  Sweat, biased... An Ran was nervous and hurriedly ran forward, feeling a bit guilty: "Are you okay?" After hesitating for a moment, she added another sentence: "Sorry."

  If it were in the past, Zhan would have suspected that An Ran was looking for an opportunity to take revenge, but after these days of getting along, he also knew that although An Gongzi had a bit of arrogance, he wasn't someone who would resort to underhanded means.

  "Take a look, has it turned red? Now you have confidence in this slingshot, right?" Waruwaru turned around and pulled down her clothes to take a look at the wound on her back. It hurt so much, it must be red. But human anatomy decided that she definitely couldn't see it, so she proved it to the perpetrator instead.

  Under the cover of her clothes, her skin was tender and smooth white. She pulled open such a low degree and looseness, he looked down on her and not only saw what she called her red wounds, but also saw the shoulder strap of her underwear. Fortunately, Miss Tangtang obviously belonged to the conservative faction, sports underwear was not too tempting, and the covered area was large enough.

  An Ran unconsciously swallowed and averted her gaze.

  "Didn't you play with this when you were little?" Zhan turned around, raised the slingshot in his hand, and asked curiously. She thought that boys should generally all know how to do this, but looking at Xiong Anan's awkward angle just now, he wasn't a novice, but a complete beginner.

  Who says that one must know how to play this kind of countryside wild child's thing? In the city, he doesn't even have a place to use it, and there are hardly any sparrows to be seen, what's the point of having a slingshot? An Ran shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

  "Hey, it's easy, come on, I'll teach you." Zhan Zhu Zhu originally wanted to mock him a couple of times, but then thought that Xia Zhi Ge Ge wouldn't know either. It seems that most rich young masters don't know how - this also indirectly proves that Xia Fei Han is actually on the same level as her, because his marksmanship isn't worse than hers.

  Zhan Zhan grasped An Ran's hand without hesitation, teaching him the correct grip. An Ran felt a bit uncomfortable all over for being held by a girl like this for the first time.

  Her hands are not big, with slender fingertips and a beautiful back of the hand. However, when holding her own palm, one can feel that it doesn't entirely belong to a delicate girl's hand. There are several slightly hard calluses on her palms, and her strong hands are almost unbecoming of a girl.

  This also alleviated An Ran's discomfort to some extent, making him not so repelled - because he kept comforting himself in his heart, and treated her as a boy.

  "That's it, got it?" Warmed up and patient, her hands guided his through the moves, as a senior sister of so many terms, she still had this level.

  It's not difficult... An Ran felt that she was being treated like a primary school student, and didn't realize that her big man's ego had been hurt.

  "Come on, give it a pull and see!" Waruwaru encouraged Anran.

  This gaze made An Ran feel very small and foolish, he pursed his lips, and according to the method that Zhan Yu had just told him, he drew his bow, aimed, and released. Although the marble did not hit the predetermined target, it at least fell within a one-meter radius centered on the target.

  "Hey, not bad! You're indeed a quick learner!" Zhan Yunyun patted An Ran's shoulder with a pleased expression, looking like an elder praising a younger one.

  She gave her a calm glance, wanting to sarcastically remark a couple of sentences, but knowing the final outcome would definitely be that she couldn't outtalk her - sigh, why did it seem like she was so willing to be bullied by her?

  "Come on, you practice a bit more, I'll explain the coordination for later." Zhan Zhu Zhu reached into his backpack and rummaged around, pulling out a handful of marbles and shoving them into An Ran's pocket: "Don't worry, there are plenty of bullets!"

  An Ran's face turned red, and she subconsciously jumped back half a step: "What are you doing?" Sexual harassment! His sports pants pocket was a bit deep, and her slanted fist inserted in, touching the mountainous bulge...

  "Huh?" Zhan Zhu Zhu didn't think that much, she put down the marbles and automatically quit, this was just delivering something to him, why be so tense: "Don't worry, I'm not stealing your money."

  You don't steal money, but you steal people. An Ran's heart is filled with indignation, feeling like a big man with a strong sense of masculinity, yet in front of her, he seems like a little wife, without even a bit of rebellious spirit.

  Won't be afraid of her in your subconscious mind?

  She's just being a bit unreasonable...

  "Alas, alas, you'd better aim yourself while walking, don't you know about chickens? Wild chickens?" Zhan's attention quickly shifted away from this matter, and he subconsciously kept a distance from An Ran, as if she was a little girl who was afraid of giving birth.

  Wild chicken...... As an animal, he has eaten it, as a human being, he has only heard of it. These two are obviously not enough to be called understanding...... An Ran coughed dryly and covered up the messy thoughts in his mind, giving a brief answer: "Don't understand."

  "What if you encounter your arch-nemesis?" Warudo decided to use a vivid and interesting teaching method.

  What does this mean? An Ran was used to Bao Zi's jumping thoughts, but Bao Zi never asked questions and couldn't keep up with the rhythm: "Hit?"

  "Everyone says they're arch-enemies, the kind you can't beat."

  An Ran's eyebrows were about to furrow: "Run? Hide?"

  Zhan Zhan looked at him with surprise, then smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Xiong An'an, you're really too clever, that's just like a wild chicken!"

  Pfft! An Ran was so angry she almost spat blood. Was this praise or criticism? But as soon as he added the phrase "that's just how wild chickens are", even good things became a huge mockery... Why did he have to be so stupid and answer that question? If others found out, they'd laugh their teeth off.

  Before they saw An Ran's clenched teeth and helpless expression, they had already entered the mountain next to the orchard. The mountains here are not small hills like those in the orchard, but a bit higher and undeveloped, covered with natural trees and vegetation.

  "So, when a wild chicken senses danger, it has two options: one is to run and the other is to hide. So how do we catch them? Xiong An'an, do you know these two characteristics of wild chickens?" Zhang Doudou started emphasizing interaction again while explaining.

  An Ran's face was stretched even longer, her mouth corners twitching, and she really wanted to throw up her hands: I'm not a wild chicken, how would I know?

  "I don't know!" He finally blurted out the three words stiffly.

  "Hey, Xiong An'an is scared, so tense? Zhan Rourou comforted him: "Don't worry, the wild chicken looks very clever, but it's actually very stupid.""

  It just so happened that there was a fork in the path at this point, and Zhan stopped to wait for An Ran. He also gave her a reassuring smile, but in An Ran's eyes, this smile seemed to have a mocking tone - could it be that he was actually talking about himself? Didn't he look very clever in front of her, but was actually very foolish?

  Xiong An'an felt like he was about to be possessed by a wild chicken under the relentless questioning.

  Luckily, the warbler continued: "It's said to be clever because if it sees you walking this way from afar and you haven't seen it, it will fly away quickly; It's said to be stupid because sometimes it sticks its head into a grass thicket, covering its ears, thinking that its enemy can't see it, haha, isn't that funny?"

  At ease in the smile of war, she couldn't help but think of her previous attitude towards herself. As soon as she saw her, she would take a detour and run away. When she really had to face her, she pretended not to see her...

  An Gongzi is about to collapse, why does he think that no matter what Zhan Zhu Zhu says, she has a suspicion of implying him?

  "We should make full use of the pheasant's stupidity. We must be careful and cautious, keeping an eye out in all directions and listening carefully. If it's close range, we'll try to get a headshot and take it down quickly. If it's long range, we'll try to get as close as possible and then launch a concentrated attack on it. If it runs into the bushes and hides, we'll have our chance."

  An Ran felt a chill run down her spine, as if she was about to be beaten.

  "Alright, bear. Let's work together later. I'll slowly approach the pheasant from a distance, and you just shoot around where it's hiding, make sure the bullets are dense so it doesn't dare to fly or run away. Leave the rest to me, got it?" Zhan Zhan gave out the orders, only to find that An Ran seemed a bit distracted.

  "Huh? Oh." An Ran snapped back to reality and cautiously glanced around her surroundings.

  "Are you afraid?" Warbler asked him with a suspicious look, no way, are pheasants also afraid?

  An Ran felt embarrassed being stared at by her, so she casually asked: "Are there snakes here?"

  "Of course," Warlord Zha answered casually, how could there be no snakes in the mountains.

  An Ran was just casually asking, but after hearing what Zhan said, he became a bit tense. Today, he happened to be wearing sports shoes and shorts, making his calves an easy target for attack.

  Vigilance is increasing, and suddenly, without warning, the warthog in front of him squats down, one hand supporting his knee, and the other rubbing his calf...

  Her skin was touched, still the first time it belonged to a girl's hand, An Ran felt that the skin suddenly transmitted a numb and gentle feeling. The heartbeat seemed to have accelerated a bit... Can this be classified as sexual harassment? Who would casually touch a boy's leg like this?

  "What are you doing!" An Ran's classmate took a firm step back, determined to protect her innocence. Her reputation had already been ruined by the rumors, but she was still holding on to her physical innocence.

  "Hey, don't move." The careless tone of Waruwaru's voice sounded somewhat like an evil uncle teasing a little loli to Anran. She simply wrapped her arms around Anran's knees, making it impossible for him to retreat.

  An Ran shook her head, feeling dizzy in her mind, and didn't know if it was the effect of her teasing or the intoxication from the wine earlier. Just as she was considering whether to kick her away, Zhang Yanzhu finally explained slowly while continuing to massage her.

  "Hmm, this is our family's secret recipe, it's very effective in repelling mosquitoes and has some effect on snakes too. Apply it and you'll be fine." Zhan Zhu Zhu rubbed it on a few more times, also applying it to her own calf, before standing up straight. But then she saw that An Ran's face was red, with faint sweat beads on both cheeks: "Are you hot?"

  "Not hot." An's expression changed unpredictably, and he didn't dare look at Zhan Zhan again. He took a big step forward and walked ahead.

  He's going crazy! Is he really drunk? Why is he talking nonsense all the time?

  It's a bit inexplicable... War is war, I don't know what to do, can't think of anything good, so I just shrug and follow along.

  The natural environment of Qishan is well protected, and after walking a short distance inside, Zhanzhan soon found the target. However, Anran, who was holding a bow for the first time, clearly didn't enter the role that quickly, and the wild chickens weren't always as stupid as Zhanzhan said, with most of them flying away cleverly at the last minute. So even after finding four of them, the two still had nothing to show for it, watching the fleeing silhouettes with a sigh.

  "Don't be discouraged, haven't you noticed that we're getting more and more experienced now?" Zhan Zhan comforted An Ran. When she was young, she often spent an entire afternoon without any harvest, so she naturally had a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of situation and wasn't impatient at all.

  She nodded calmly and continued to fiddle with the slingshot in her hand. Was she holding him back? But as a person who had never touched a slingshot before, his progress was already incredibly fast.

  "Shh!" After walking for a while, Zhan suddenly reached out to stop An Ran. From the previous few times of not quite coordinating, An Ran also knew that this was discovering the target.

  Zhan Zhuangzhuang made a few gestures, but the two people obviously couldn't communicate. Looking at An Ran's confused expression, Zhan Zhuangzhuang simply pulled An Ran's ear and whispered instructions in his ear.

  It's sexual harassment again... The words floated into her calm mind, her breath blew against his ear, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable, as if there was a small paw scratching at his heart. He hadn't heard clearly what she was saying in the first place.

  After finishing his instructions, he patted An Ran's shoulder, gave a thumbs up, and then slowly walked away to the side.

  Silent and stealthy... watching her calmly, I really feel like I've seen the Army Special Forces, that posture is professional and standard, only the object of attack is a wild chicken.

  An Ran shook her head and organized the fragments of Zhan's physical movements and language in her mind, then moved forward in another direction.

  Through the bushes, it was easy to find the target - judging from its appearance, this slightly chubby guy should be a "fool" at least until now, it still hasn't discovered the danger.

  Thirty meters... twenty-five... twenty... fifteen... The pheasant still wanted to get a little closer, but the wild chicken seemed to have sensed a signal of danger, raised its head alertly, looked left and right, shook its wings, and seemed about to take off.

  Whoa! You actually think you can run away! Zhang Doudou originally wanted to get closer and increase his hit rate, but now he's not in time. The bowstring was pulled to its maximum arc, aimed, and the bullet shot out with a "brush" sound.

  After all, I haven't played for a long time, and it's impossible to hit the target with one shot. The steel ball grazed the pheasant's ankle and drilled into the mud, failing to bring down even a single feather. However, the pheasant seemed to be frightened as well, interrupting its flight plan and rushing into the shrubs.

  Haha! Self-inflicted trouble, can't be helped. Warily approaching while continuously gathering fire, and still searching for An Ran's figure everywhere - what about the promised cooperation?

  The thicket is not a suitable place for people to walk, and it's not easy for people to get through. But when the wild chicken drills out of this thicket, what awaits it is the vast sky.

  "Where's Ah-An?" Warlord Tiao was getting anxious, his hands moving swiftly on the production line, causing the wild chickens to fly about wildly in the bushes. Was this Ah-An in cahoots with the wild chickens? Why was there still no sign of him at such a critical moment?

  There are still ten steps to the chicken's foot distance, and the wild chicken should have drilled out. Once it drills out, it will be free to fly. Zhan patted his mouth and shot three pellets in one breath, all of which were blocked by the shrubs.

  Ran away...... This thought flashed through my mind, and then I saw the wild chicken's head suddenly shook violently, bringing its entire body to draw a semicircle in mid-air, fell to the ground, flapped its wings twice, and stopped moving.

  Then, An Ran stood up from the other side of the bush.

  Wow, hidden, a bead exploded on his head! Zhan Zhu Zhu got excited, jumped over the bushes, and ran to An Ran's side: "Xiong An An, not bad, awesome!"

  He felt a sense of relief and vindication, and couldn't help but feel a little proud - once he had achieved something and received recognition, his interest would surge and he would find the task even more enjoyable.

  For example, just now he thought it was meaningless to hit wild chickens, but now he is even more eager to try.

  Hehe, tonight we'll have braised or roasted wild chicken?

  "How about another one?" An Ran fiddled with the slingshot in his hand, feeling more and more comfortable with it.

  "Great!"

  With the guidance of successful experience, the later process became more and more smooth, and the tacit understanding between the two people also became better and better. They chased and intercepted, and by the time the sun was about to set, the two of them had actually caught three together, which was a huge harvest.

  As the time was almost up, the two of them headed back home. Between the two mountain peaks, there was a not-so-small lake, with clear and sparkling water that shone beautifully under the sunset.

  "Xiong An'an, take this, I'm going to wash my hands." Zhan Zhu Zhu tossed the bag in her hand to An Ran and happily ran to the lake shore, stepped on the big stones by the riverbank, and then lay down on top of them.

  The lake water reflects the small face of Zhanzhan, mischievous and cunning. After washing his little hands and face, he turns around to look at Anran behind him, gazing up at the big mountain, and smiles lightly.

  Standing upright in the valley, looking at the lush surroundings, smelling the fresh scent in the air, feeling a clear mind. Just about to close my eyes and enjoy it, I suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Ah!"

  Splashing sounds were heard, followed by a loud and panicked cry: "Save me!"

  Haha, Xia Zhige is an authority to our family's Bulu, and Fei Hanxiao is evenly matched. Finally, someone who can be bullied but not too soft has appeared... Wait, didn't you say you liked Xiong Anan at the beginning?

  With a rival in love, our little brother can finally appear
