San Ya was very obedient. When Pei Qin ordered silence, she didn't dare to make a sound, even lightening her breathing.
Si Ya, however, was restless and quite curious. "What did you see? Let me catch it!" She thought Pei Qin was incompetent and might let the prey escape again, failing to catch it!
Pei Qin glared back at her, pointed to a spot and asked them to help encircle the area. She was ready to strike swiftly at one. Two wild pheasants were together, and unless she used her darts, it was unrealistic to hit both with stones. She aimed at the male wild pheasant, which was slightly larger and near the pheasant eggs, so striking it wouldn't harm the eggs. With a swift motion, she flung the kitchen knife from her hand with speed and power.
The two wild pheasants were startled into flight, but the male pheasant was struck by the knife and did not escape.
