Chapter 502: Hunting (II)
In the afternoon back to the hunting palace, the kitchen was already ready with tools and sharpening knives. Skilled cooks and helpers slaughtered the wild boar, cut off its head, and prepared the rest of the body for the roast pig feast tonight. The pig's head is also of some use, and Akram is going to remove the fangs.
"Why?" Alice leaned in to watch.
Akram explained, "Your Highness the Princess, it is a habit of hunting to leave some items from the spoils of war as a souvenir. โ
"So you want pigs' teeth?" She asked.
"That's right, Your Highness." Akram smiled, although Alice's liveliness was a headache for her parents, but her cheerful personality was very popular with everyone.
"But it's ugly." Alice disgusted.
An Feng came over and said: "Don't get to the bottom of it, these two are souvenirs, no matter how beautiful or ugly, if you don't want it, leave it to others." โ
"No, I want to!" She said.
"Then whatever you want." An Feng said, "Good work, Mr. Akrรกn. โ
"Thank you, sir." He said.
Naturally, the barbecue dinner was not indoors, they set up a platform in the small garden outside, piled up red-hot charcoal, and the cleaned wild boar meat was placed on it, constantly brushed with oil and spices, and floated to a hundred meters. The children's eyes were always wandering over the boar, swallowing saliva from time to time.
When I went back that night, everyone had oily mouths and bulging bellies, and even the little corgi was lazily lying on their stomachs to digest......
It's a bit cold at night in the mountains, but the covered quilt is the most comfortable.
An Feng came out of the hot shower and said to Joanna on the bed, "I'm coming in, the cat moves to the side!" โ
"No, I just warmed up here." She wouldn't let it.
An Feng drilled in: "I like this kind of warmth, can I hug you?" โ
"Wait for me to roll over." She turned her back to An Feng and leaned into his arms.
"The best thing about this kind of weather is that you can keep each other warm." An Feng hugged her. "And my girl is always so soft."
"Don't do that." She smiled and shivered, "Save some energy for hunting the next day, the children are looking forward to you finding a dozen forked deer." โ
"I don't have the thoughts in your little head." An Feng smiled, "Their legs and feet are estimated to be sore tomorrow, and they will have to take some time to recover, so I'll go out with Matthew to find out first." Try to leave the opportunity to them. What about you, are you going out with me or with Chrissy? โ
"To see how the kids are doing, I drive them around the neighborhood if I can. By the way, have you thought about what will happen after the New Year? โ
"After a year?" An Feng thought for a while, "Is there a nomination for the medal?" โ
"There's this too, but I'm not talking about medals, but hereditary titles, what do you think?"
"Awarded one by one. Anyway, this is not the same as a medal, the knighthood is mostly based on the will of the monarch, and it has little to do with meritorious service. Of course, a nobleman who is admired by the world will be more respected by people. But you can't delay it for five or six years and wait for the fame to come out, right? โ
"Then I'll have someone prepare for the canonization." "It's time to add some members, because they're still our creditors." โ
"Makes sense." An Feng said. Up to now. The purchase of the island was almost paid off, and there was still $3oo million left to pay the people of Sardinia for the third year. According to the think tank, they currently owe $2ooo dollars to the consortium, which is a lot of money.
Be reasonable, and those who support them have to reciprocate a little.
"But I want to keep the number of medals and hereditary titles down and award them proportional to the population," she added. Scarcity is expensive. What do you think? โ
An Feng said: "Three medals of honor are awarded a year. โ
"It's too little."
An Feng smiled: "That's up to you, Your Majesty the Queen." โ
โฆโฆ
The hunt continued the next day.
As An Feng expected, two of the three children were killed, and the most lively Alice's legs and feet were a little sore, so they stayed with their mother for a day off.
An Feng and Matthew go out. It's still a lineup of two people hunting and a group of squires following.
Because there are no children to take care of, I move more freely, one person has a shotgun, and my boots step on a path in the dense grass, and I am very professional in analyzing the traces of animals on the ground, fur, and excrement, and then tracking footprints...... The overall pace is very fast, but there are few goals.
The forks of the antlers on the road are no more than ten, so skip them directly.
There were many species of animals, and two wild boars were eliminated with shotguns - they had already learned from the local garden protection department that the nearby area was sparsely populated and that the wild boar breeding had threatened the crops of the Oristano plain and must be controlled.
So the principle is to kill when you see it, but you're not interested in moving back, cheap carnivores.
At three o'clock the gang and the hounds searched the surrounding area, but there was still not much to show up. Idle, Matthew put a shotgun in his arm, pulled out a cigar and lit it, and walked comfortably in his mouth. An Feng had nothing else to do, so he chatted with him and greeted the other party's family.
Matthew puffed on his cigarette: "Everyone is busy, everyone has their own troubles. โ
An Feng asked, "Is Catherine okay?" Don't have time to come over this time? โ
"Who knows, I heard that I found a new boyfriend." Matthew frowned at the sight of this.
An Feng has understood, Catherine is ten years younger than him, and she is thirty-two, she was married once a few years ago, and she divorced in less than a year, and now she is single, and her relationship problems have caused her parents a headache. Although Westerners are open-minded, they also want their children to be happy.
"The first time I met her, she was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student." An Feng gestured with his hand, "The tall man just came to me." โ
"Time flies." Matthew said, "And we're all old. โ
"That's the old point of view, I don't agree." An Feng shook his head, "God bless her, and she can finally find a suitable partner for herself." โ
"You say, are our concepts outdated?"
"It's the society that has opened up." An Feng turned his finger around his head, "Young people's thoughts are completely different from what we thought at the beginning. โ
Matthew sighed: "Who made us a product of the last century." โ
"I don't have high expectations for the future." An Feng walked around the pile of animal manure on the ground and looked at the nearby terrain. "Emotional setbacks are difficult to avoid, and what life must go is also a mark of growth. And finally finding the right one is my greatest wish. โ
Matthew smiled: "It seems that you are also worried about the future of the princes and princesses." โ
"It's the reality." An Feng said, "Don't we live in a place called 'fairy tale', and now there are fewer extramarital affairs in the royal family? โ
Matthew said, "You're a standard model. โ
An Feng said: "Just because I met the right one, and I am too lazy to think about anything else, this kind of thing is only suitable for young people, isn't it?" โ
"That's right." Matthew looked up, "Look over there!" Looks like a pretty guy! โ
"Come up and take a look." An Feng reduced the sound of footsteps.
The two of them marched forward, and the attendants were nearby, but it would take some time to get there. After carefully moving forward more than ten meters, there was a beautiful deer with more than a dozen forks on its head. Just be careful not to hurt your head, it will be a memorable trophy.
But the deer that can live for so long is also experienced enough.
The red deer's movements suddenly stopped, looking around, the first second it was still as quiet as a sculpture, and the next second it ran wildly, and the two people behind him hurriedly caught up.
"Call them over!" An Feng said loudly, "If you can rush to the open field, you may have a chance to catch this guy." โ
The red deer runs very fast, and the bouncing figures in the field of vision are getting farther and farther.
โ**๏ผโ
An Feng's rare foul mouth came from the front, Matthew followed curiously, and An Feng's voice came back: "Don't come over-"
"Oh, shit!"
Before he could finish speaking, Matthew was also struck by the trick - there was actually a mud puddle that wild boars loved to roll around, and there was a terrain that had recently rained and turned into a swamp. An Feng rushed too quickly and was hit, and the mud next to him collapsed one after another, and Matthew, who came with him, was not spared.
The two looked at each other and both laughed.
An Feng gave up: "Okay, God let us let that creature go, and now we still have to figure out how to get out without getting our clothes dirty." โ
Matthew propped up the hard pavement with the barrel of his gun, slowly pulling his legs out and stepping on the harder mud.
An Feng was the same as him, and said in his mouth: "The last time I went to Kenya, the local tribal armed forces liked to add a little sand to the barrel of the AK47, according to them, this is special magic, because this is how white people cast spells on guns to hit targets." โ
Matthew wondered, "What kind of fallacy is this?" โ
An Feng stepped on the safe area of Matthew's probe and continued: "Don't you think that for decades, Africa's armed forces have been playing like this? A certain ** armed force and the government army fought fiercely all night, and the next day the government army retreated, and the number of casualties was counted two, but they were accidentally injured because of the gun. โ
Matthew continued to explore the path with the barrel of his gun: "But we can't hold the ground with the butt of the gun and aim the muzzle at ourselves, right?" โ
"That's why I think of African warlords." An Feng grabbed the hand handed over by Matthew and successfully got out of the quagmire, "Don't use these two guns." (To be continued!)
