Chapter 40: Chapter 4 (Catching Insects) (Inverted V)

On the outskirts of the port of Padre is a large expanse of saddle vines, which later became known as morning glories. In late October, the vines are golden, and the deep purple flowers bloom across the land, spreading out over the rolling hills and fields.

In the midst of a sea of flowers lies a majestic castle, the whole castle is made of white marble, decorated with black pillars and window frames, and the spire of the castle is dazzling glass, which glows warmly in the sun.

At this time, on the second floor of this majestic castle, the ancient staircase is composed of a whole block of marble, and the natural decoration has a heavy feeling, from the hall to the second floor and even the third and fourth floors are covered with a thick crimson carpet, the carpet is embroidered with a variety of bright patterns, and the handrails of the staircase are mahogany, because of the age, the color is a little dull, but it unexpectedly fits with the gorgeous velvet curtains in the hall, showing a delicate and noble meaning.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the warm daylight softly shines through the large stained-glass windows, gilding the small study on the second floor with a warm orange-red color.

"Try this, freshly baked cake." Ah Zhai sat on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, a white porcelain plate on the coffee table held a black cake, and the triangular cake was decorated with fiery red cherries and snow-white cream, small and cute, exuding a strong chocolate smell, "How about it?" ”

Seeing the man sitting across from him seriously picking up the cake and tasting it carefully with a spoon like a child, Ah Zhai felt as if his heart was full of honey.

"It's delicious." After eating the cake, licking his tongue inadvertently like a cat, the man's clear green eyes revealed a satisfied look, he sat obediently on the sofa, although the whole person's long hands and feet did not match the small and delicate sofa, "The sun is very good today, should we go to the woods behind to have a look?" ”

"Okay, I've got something for you." Hearing this, Ah Zhai smiled, got up and imprinted a kiss on the man's forehead, "Rey, I think you will definitely like it." ”

"What is it?" The man looked intently at the slender young man standing in front of him, with a deep love in his eyes that he didn't even know.

"Follow me." Stretched out his hand to naturally hold the man's hand with a calloon, just as he had held his lover's hand in the sun many years ago, the two slowly walked down the stairs, and suddenly stepped forward at the gate, the sun poured down on him, there was a smoky fish tail, I don't know if the sun is too bright today, the house has a moment of suddenness, fate is always like this, inadvertently revealing happiness.

"As long as you give it to me, I like it." One step away in the ancient castle, but the sun could not shine in, the man took his eyes away from the young man standing in the sunlight and lowered his head slightly, his black curly hair fell mischievously on his forehead, covering the eyes that looked extraordinarily deep in the shadows.

"His name is Isaac." Ah Zhai led Rey to the stable behind the castle, this is a very spacious stable, cleaned by the servants very clean, in the stable there are two horses side by side, look at the young horses that are one to three years old, one is snow-white, the other is all black, the fur is smooth and smooth, the limbs are strong, the muscles are full, the eyes are smart and full of life, it is what later generations called the Frederiksburg horse, a high-quality war horse.

Hearing the master's title, the black horse happily leaned over, stretched out his tongue and rolled the horse grass from Ah Zhai's hand, looking very happy.

"This is Hubert." Patting the black horse's neck affectionately, Ah Otaku smiled and introduced to Rey, "Hubert is two years old this year, he is a little shy, but I am sure you will like him, he is a good boy." ”

"You're going to give Hubert to me?" Rey smiled happily, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had seen a child who had received a beloved gift, and only had the stuffed animal in his arms could have the whole world.

"Yes." Seeing that he was happy, Ah Zhai couldn't help but smile, he looked up at Rey's charming eyes, and there was a bit of a sigh in his tone, "He has a pair of eyes of the same color as you." ”

The next morning, the wind was crisp, and the group was ready to go, and after a night of joy and well, their waists were still a little sore, but Ah Zhai still ordered the servants to prepare a picnic as promised, and then transferred an army to follow them to the nearby hunting grounds to hunt.

The two of them walked out of the castle one after the other, wearing the same black riding suit, which was prepared by the housekeeper from the first day they were brought back to Rey. The dexterous tailor combined with the little earl's improved knightly costume makes it look more simple and three-dimensional, with a bit of oriental man's elegance.

"We had a simple meal in the woods at noon, hoping that after a morning's hard work, there would be fresh game at noon." Although his body was not very comfortable, Ah Zhai still jumped on the horseback in a rather neat and crisp manner, you must know that it was his personal guards who did not go to sea with him, although there were less than fifty people, but all of them were elites, although he did not think about hiding his relationship with Rey, but in this society where the whole of gay was an atmosphere of opposition and ridicule, he really didn't want these people to look at Rey in a strange way, even if the old butler didn't say it, he knew that there were many servants who had already talked about his love for Rey like this, and therefore convinced that this whimsical hunt was a perfect opportunity for Rey, and he was convinced that the man, who had temporarily lost his memory, would not forget the fighting instincts that were deeply seared into his bones.

Behind the castle is a wide woodland, in late autumn, the grass and trees are golden, and the large maple leaves show a delightful gold and red in the sun, which is refreshing and pleasant, and is enclosed by the castle, and there are many large wild animals living in it, as a place for autumn hunting every year.

Since artillery was introduced to the West, after years of improvement, although today's guns are not as good as later generations, they have made great progress, at least they can be fired continuously, unlike in the past, when a bullet had to be fired. The two rode in front, followed by a group of knights in full gear, and after a neat salute to the sky, Ah Zhai rushed into the woods first.

"You all hunt by yourself, I'll just be with Rey!" Because of the use of several generations in the forest, there are already some conventional paths that are convenient for a few people to gallop on horseback, after finding that there is a herd of deer not far away, Ah Zhai simply said a few words to disperse the guards, and he and Rey chose another way to lean over, after several worlds of training, Ah Zhai's riding skills are still very good, and he immediately shot with a shotgun to the deer that was faintly running happily in the forest not far away.

"Bang-"

The bullets fell on the trees, making a loud noise that surprised a flock of birds, and also alarmed the deer who were walking in the woods, and the sound of horses' hooves, gunshots, and the rustling of animals running against the plants, for a time the silent woods were noisy.

"Looks like your gun isn't very accurate." Seeing the young man's cold face, Rey couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at me hunting it for you!" ”

"You're good at it!" Ah Zhai originally just felt a little embarrassed, and originally planned to show off his skills in front of his lover but it turned out to be messy, but at this time, listening to Rey's reassuring words, the anger in his heart suddenly surged, the person in front of him should have been his closest lover, and they even had a deeper physical entanglement, but he knew deeply that he was like a thief, and this happy time was stolen from the heroine's hand, this was the first time he had such a deep understanding of his inner despicability, He didn't know if the plot had been crooked by himself to this point, whether the people in front of him would still remember the past, whether it was this moment or the next moment, Rey's memories of the past were like the sword of Damox hanging above his head.

“…… I'm sorry. Startled by the boy's sudden anger, Rey blinked, bowed his head slightly, and looked at his lover a foot away from him with some helplessness, his clear eyes were like fairy elves who did not know the world in fairy tales.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Ah Zhai quickly adjusted his mentality, since he was able to steal Rey from the heroine's side for a while, then he could naturally steal it for a lifetime, in short, whether Rey remembered the memory or not, he was completely wiped out of the pirate's stronghold, he didn't believe that the man he fancied could still escape from his side, "Rey, please forgive me, I'm just a little sad, I originally wanted to show you my skills, but unfortunately I messed it up." ”

The young man in front of him lowered his head slightly, his expression was indescribably lost, which made people feel uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't wait to hug him into his arms and brush away the sorrow between his eyebrows, even if he was puzzled, but at this moment the man couldn't help but step forward, raised his hand slightly and kissed the young man's face gently, and smiled: "It's okay, Jin has always been the best in my heart, even if Jin can't hunt the deer, it doesn't matter, I can help you." ”

"Okay, then I'm waiting for you to show off your skills." Ah Zhai smiled, his drooping eyelids fanned gently like butterfly wings, covering all the emotions inside, and when he looked up again, he showed a pure smile to the handsome man on the white horse in front of him.

As the darling of the whole world, Rey's skills are naturally one of the best, even if his uncle's only son and later Daniel, the governor of the Seven Seas, can't compare, and now the mountains and forests are like dragons like water, the two believe in the reins, and the prey hunted everywhere is as small as pheasants and rabbits, as large as sika deer and rock antelope.

"That's too much, why don't we bring them back to camp?" As the sun gradually rose, Ah Zhai Fan took off his coat, and when he saw that the two horses were full of prey, he couldn't help but speak.

"Okay."
