In ancient times, Zhangsun Sheng left behind the legendary story of felling two eagles with one arrow.
But in a group hunt, when a single shot goes through two targets, it's called "skewering candied haws."
It's like using one skewer to pierce two hawthorn berries.
Today, Wang Dalong also "skewered candied haws." The only difference was that his skewer went through not just his quarry, but his own hunting dog as well.
While Wang Dalong was wailing and cradling his dog, Zhao Jun grabbed Li Baoyu, and they quickly retraced their steps, hurrying away.
They didn't stop until they reached the second roe deer Zhao Jun had killed. There, he and Li Baoyu flipped the animal onto its back, all four hooves in the air, and began to gut and bleed it.
They had been rushing the whole time, so Li Baoyu hadn't had a chance to ask. Now, as Zhao Jun explained his reasoning, Li Baoyu finally understood.
