"Alright!.. I got enough 'stones'.. c'mon brother let's go catch us some 'supper'.. maybe some rabbit.. not much meat on birds.." I say as I gather my 'ammunition'.. and start walking towards the 'tree-line' closest to us..

"Shouldn't we get a servant to follow us?.. we aren't supposed to enter the 'woods' alone Ce.." asked my little brother then reminded me a rule I had not remembered..

"Well.. hm.. yep.. good thing we aren't alone.. we got our partners 'Sirius' and 'Biter'.. see?.. we are not alone so no rules broken.. cmon I just want to catch something to eat.." I said after figuring out a 'loop-hole' we could use.. then we entered the 'woods' with our pups right on our tails..

"What ya smell boys?.. hm.." I ask the pups to which I don't get an 'intelligible' answer.. either my skill is not a high enough 'level' or the pups are too young..

"Ok just follow me.. keep quiet Ang.. try to step as light as you can.. just follow my steps and step in my 'foot-prints'.." I tell my brother in a quiet voice then I started 'stalking' along through the 'woods'.. two 'five-year' old boys and two 'one-month' old 'wolf-hound' pups..

"'Swish'.. 'Cak'!.. 'thud'.." I launched a 'stone'.. there were only three 'noises' from the time I saw the fat 'pheasant' to smoothly-killing it with one 'shot' of a stone right to the side of its neck.. when my arm 'swiped' to 'throw' the stone.. there was an 'swish' sound when I 'released my 'grip' on said 'stone' with a 'perfectly-timed' release.. followed by the bird making a 'caw'.. then when the birds neck was struck by the 'rock' and broke then its body hit the 'ground' of the forest.. making a 'thud' noise.. after those three noises.. we had us a nice 'freshly-killed' three or four pound bird to 'supplement' our 'supper' on this day's 'eve'..

"Bam!.. How you like them apples!?.. 'Bee-Yotch'!?.. see that 'lil-bro'?.. killed that 'maw-fucka' with one fucking 'stone'.. your 'big-brother' is a beast!.. a fucking beast I tell ya Ang.." I say as I'm 'reveling' in the 'admiration' my little brother is sending my way..

"Awesome!.. how did you do that!?.. I want to learn too!.." he says as hes jumping around all over the place..

Nice!.. ten experience points off one 'toss' of a 'stone'.. so using my skills in 'battle' I guess 'pays' more experience.. rather than if I was just using them to 'train'.. once I get Ang a little more 'coordinated' I can use him as a 'sparring' partner.. we are members of the 'gentry'.. so possessing competence in the 'six-arts' of an 'gentle-man' was required of 'young-masters' of the 'gentry-class'.. it was the 'basic-education' of the 'aristocracy' in 'ancient-china' back then..

We were required to know the words and writings of 'Confucius' and be able to 'quote' from them from 'rote-memory'.. We were required to be excellent 'horse-man' and be 'adept' in 'equestrianism'.. 'Archery' was another requirement we would be demanded to have competency in..

'Calligraphy' was another 'art' we were expected to 'study' every day.. 'writing' with 'brushes' being forced to have to 'dip' it in 'ink' every 'stroke' or so.. is supposed to 'cultivate' character and patience is what is said..

We are expected to know how to 'add' and 'subtract'.. all of the things that come with learning 'mathematics'.. then finally we have 'listening-to'.. and having the ability to 'play' different music with an 'qin'.. or if you aren't in the know about 'Dynasty-Warriors'.. and 'Romance-Of-The-Three-Kingdoms'.. a 'qin' is the same as a 'ancient-Chinese' 'piano'.. a 'musical-instrument'.. and if you don't know what a 'piano' is.. and if you don't know either of those words.. I do not know.. what the fuck to tell you.. I truly do not..

Anyways.. there is also all the 'military-strategist' shit you gotta fuck with.. playing 'go' which would be fucking similar to 'chess' in 'ancient-china'.. and being 'decent' at 'go'.. is yet another 'expectation' that will be expected of us..

"Fuck it!.. I guess let's head back.. I wanted find a 'panther' or 'tiger' cub.." I say to my little brother while more talking to myself than anything..

"What's a 'panther'?.. I know 'tigers'.." he asked me..

"A 'panther' my little brother.. is also a large 'feline-predator' similar to an 'tiger'.. you'll know if you hear a 'panther'.. their calls and the noises they make sound like a woman screaming for help because she's being murdered.. it's a very 'eerie' scream.." I tell him as he starts looking all around the 'woods'..

"Ok don't worry!.. let's go home.." I said to him.. then we turned around and carried the three birds I had bagged for our 'supper'.. two 'turtle-doves' and the 'fat-pheasant'.. and headed back to the 'manor'..

***After Returning To 'Cao-Manor'***

/povJade-Pheonix/

"O my goodness!.. 'eldest-grandsons'!.. Everyone has been searching for you!.. come!.. we must let 'Mother-Ding' know you are safe.." I started shouting in 'glee' at their return.. the entire 'Cao-Clan' had been ready to 'take-up-arms' to search for the 'eldest-grandsons'.. for the last 'half-hour'..

"Relax!.. everything will be well!.. here!.. carry my 'trophies'.. come Ang.. let me do the 'talking'.." the 'young-master' said while handing me a fat 'pheasant' and two smaller birds..

"I don't want to talk.. they will be mad.." his brother replied..

"Nonsense we broke no rules.. Come! 'Sirius'!.. 'Biter'!.. Jade give them a 'turtle-dove' each.. Pups!.. 'Trot' behind me and show off our 'hunting-trophies' to grandma.." 'Cao-Ce' said to them whilst 'ordering' me to give one of the smaller birds to each puppy..

Then the little dogs did what the 'eldest-grandson told them to.. as we are walking into the 'manor' I can see them holding their 'prey'.. in their little 'jaws' with those little 'baby-teeth'..

***After Entering the 'Main-Hall'***

/povMC/

"Grandma!.. Grandma!.. look what we hunted!.. show her 'Sirius'!.. show her yours 'Biter!.. they are gonna be great 'hunting-dogs' grandma!.. look we got you a 'fat-pheasant' it has to have atleast three pounds of 'good-meat' on it.." I was shouting whilst we entered the 'main-hall'..

"I will cook it personally tonight.. and I promise grandma it will be most delicious.." I say informing the old lady I'll be serving my 'beggar's-pheasant' tonight.. and she just so happens to be lucky enough to get to have a 'taste'.. yes.. a 'taste' indeed.. tonight.. it is written..
