On the withered yellow grass roots, the gray body was still twitching, but at the front of the body, it was impossible to see that it was a rabbit's head, and in the blurred mass of flesh and blood, red liquid continued to flow out, and there was something white in it.
Just one glance, Carey Mulligan remembered the pig intestines he had touched, felt something rush up, and immediately bent down and let out a flurry of retching.
Murphy threw away the gun, bent down and reached out to cover Kerry Mulligan's eyes, and reached behind his back with his other hand, took the kettle and handed it to her, "Drink some water." ”
Carey Mulligan turned his back to the hare, took the jug and took a sip, only then did he feel better.
"I ...... It's okay. She said she wouldn't look back at anything.
"Wow...... Margaret's crisp voice sounded next to her, and there was exclamation in it, "You can hit the prey like this?" ”
Murphy turned his head, and Margaret took Bob the hound, and stood next to the hare that was in a miserable state, tilting her head and looking at it curiously, as if she was very accustomed to such a scene.
"That's it!" She laughed, "This is our first harvest of the day!" ”
Margaret bent down and grabbed one of the hare's hind legs and picked it up, looked at the completely smashed head again, shook her head slightly, and came to Murphy's side, "Is the rabbit okay for me?" ”
The smell of blood was a little pungent, and Murphy saw Carey Mulligan pinching his nose and waved his hand casually, "It's yours, Maggie." ”
"Thank you." Margaret smiled sweetly and turned to look at her hound, "Bob, you've got lunch." ”
With that, she threw the hare to the ground in front of the hound, and Bob immediately pounced.
Afraid of irritating Kerry Mulligan again, Murphy quickly stood between her and the hound, and walked a little farther away.
It was a full twenty feet away from there, and then he glanced back, and Margaret stood beside her, watching the hound nibble at its food and swallow the bloody rabbit meat.
Perhaps it was the exercise of farm life, this girl was very bold and wild enough.
After a long while, Carey Mulligan gradually recovered, Murphy asked her, Kerry Mulligan nodded slightly, and the hunt continued.
The four of them walked unhurriedly towards the sparse woods, Murphy and David Robbie's thick leather boots stomping on the yellow leaves on the ground, making a slight cracking sound.
"Shh
After walking a few thousand feet, David Robbie stopped, leaned against a eucalyptus tree, and raised his finger at Murphy, who also hid behind the eucalyptus tree next to him, and Carey Mulligan and Margaret lightened their steps.
The rustle of hooves crushing leaves suddenly sounded, and as it got closer, Murphy looked through the cracks in the woods and could faintly see some animals trotting.
There are no large carnivores in the wild, these are clearly wild deer and are almost unendangered by the animals of the natural world.
"Is that the one you just had?" Murphy asked in a low voice.
David Robbie shook his head, "It should be another group." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Murphy took off his shotgun, quickly loaded his bullets, and watched the slower and slower deer to find a suitable position to shoot......
David Robbie leaned against the eucalyptus tree, staring over there, and when he saw that the deer had completely stopped, he raised his shotgun and aimed it there.
One strode to the edge of another eucalyptus tree, and Murphy leaned against the trunk of the tree, raising his gun and aiming straight ahead, ready to shoot at any moment.
About twenty adult deer came into view, apparently familiar with the woods, nimbly moving around in search of food.
"Shoot!" David Robbie shouted and pulled the trigger first.
Murphy and Carey Mulligan then fired two shots in quick succession, unleashing ammunition from the chamber.
"Bob!"
Margaret whistled again, the hounds rushed out frantically, the wild deer frightened by the gunfire fled in all directions, and one of them could be seen lying to the ground in the shade of the trees.
"I hit! I hit! Kerry Mulligan looked so excited that he almost jumped, "I hit it!" ”
"Well played!" David Robbie cocked a thumbs up for her.
Margaret squinted, "Good luck." ”
Carey Mulligan smiled unusually happily, but she wouldn't tell anyone, she aimed at a doe and hit a stag.
She just wanted to follow Margaret to see the prey, but was pulled by Murphy, "Wait here." ”
Murphy didn't want her to see the bloody images again, and Carey Mulligan hesitated for a moment, but stopped.
"I'm going to get the car to the edge of the woods." David Robbie confessed, and reflexively walked the way he came.
Standing with Carey Mulligan, Murphy didn't look at the prey, only Margaret walked after Bob, standing in front of a pair of looming antlers, and kicked the deer in the head with a bored kick.
When the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the off-road pickup truck ran all the way back to the farm from the outside with the roar of the motor, and the excited barking of the hounds and the faint smell of blood showed that the trip was very fruitful.
Darkness swallowed up the light, and the clear night sky was dotted with stars, and beneath the stars, a large bonfire burned in the open space in front of the farmstead, reflecting half of the sky.
A large grill and makeshift stove were set up at the edge of the campfire, and the cooks and helpers in the farm turned out to cook fragrant food with the game harvested in the afternoon, such as roast meat, potato stew, venison, and hare soup, which were successively delivered to Murphy and others.
"Cheers."
Murphy clinked glasses with David Robbie next to him, took a big sip of beer, and talked about some topics related to the movie, while Carey Mulligan sat on Margaret's left hand side, whispering constantly.
"Let you eat our crops!" Margaret took a knife and sliced meat on a roasted rabbit leg as she cursed, "I'm going to eat you all!" Eat it all! ”
Kerry Mulligan grabbed a kebab and took a small sip, "Maggie, there is a ramp of hares here, how many can you eat?" ”
Margaret's knife slammed into the rabbit's leg of the baking pan, turned to her head and asked, "What can I do then?" ”
Australia's rabbit plague is world-famous, and there is no good solution.
"Isn't there a good solution?" Carey Mulligan pinched his oily little chin, thought for a while, and came up with a very unreliable idea, "Can you poison them all?" ”
Margaret rolled her eyes, "What about the cows, horses and sheep on the farm?" Also poisoned together? ”
Carey Mulligan smiled wryly, and Margaret added, "And the state doesn't allow it." ”
She grinned, "Carey, you can come over every year to hunt, and we'll kill these damn rabbits together." ”
"Okay!" Carey Mulligan is still young after all, "I also love it here, unlike Los Angeles, where it can be hot during the day. ”
Murphy also heard this, and said to Margaret, "Maggie, Carey and I will come here for a vacation next year. ”
Margaret pouted, "I'm inviting Kerry, not you." ”
She didn't pay any attention to Murphy and said to Carey Mulligan, "I'll teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow." ”
After four days on David Robbie's farm, Murphy and Carey Mulligan left, and they came to Australia for a holiday, but of course they couldn't stay in just one place, and then went to Brisbane and the Gold Coast before leaving Queensland and heading south to Sydney to continue their journey.
Murphy was fully engaged in relaxing and vacationing, while Bill Rothes, who stayed in Los Angeles, was extremely busy.
Although he has many clients, from the beginning of the box office explosion of "Saw Horror", Bill Rothes has listed Murphy as his top client, and all studios related to him will deal with it as soon as possible.
In addition to the high monetary returns, he has seen a way to climb to the top of entertainment agents from Murphy.
The road was no longer long and distant, it seemed to be right in front of his eyes, ready to be touched at any time.
Early this morning, Bill Rothes arrived at the company to participate in the weekly meeting, unlike other economic companies, the CAA holds the meeting earlier, and must be on time at 7:30, so that the meeting can end before 9 o'clock, so as not to affect the normal work of the brokers.
Although the company's brokers must have a high status, and a truly flat management is only an ideal state and cannot be fully realized, at the regular meeting, all the agents, whether they are newcomers or a little experienced like Bill Rothes, have the opportunity to speak, and as long as the opinions are pertinent, they can often be heard in the ears of the management.
At seven o'clock, Bill Rothes pushed open the door to the large conference room and walked in, and although it was only a regular meeting of the film agency, there were not many people inside, many of whom were sitting behind long conference tables arranged in rows, many of them talking to each other and exchanging the latest information.
Bill Rothes looked, walked over to an empty seat on the back of the fifth row, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Why did you come here? Bill? The man next to him turned his head.
"I slept a little late last night." Bill Rothes took a bottle of water from the conference table, unscrewed it and took a sip, "I woke up late this morning. ”
A female agent in the front row also saw Bill Rothes, turned her head, and said enviously, "Bill is different from us, he is a busy man now!" ”
The man next to him nodded in agreement, "Bill is really busy." ”
"Mike, Grace." Bill Rothes put down the water and shook his head, "Don't make fun of me, I've been getting tired lately." ”
The female agent named Grace made no secret of her envy, "I also want to be so tired as you, but I don't have a chance." ”
It's not just Hollywood directors and actors who need opportunities, but also agents who need opportunities.
Hearing the word opportunity, Mike's eyes darkened, the opportunity had also been placed in front of him in the past, but he didn't grasp it like Bill Rothes.
He was also one of the first people to pay attention to Murphy Stanton. (To be continued.) )
