Chapter 248: When you play leisurely
While pulling the sleigh with McGee, Qin Yi told Angel a story and led everyone to continue walking.
Getting rid of the sinister and cunning coyote, everyone's mood returned to a relaxed and bright mood, or discussing the harvest of the two large deer and the production of the deer head specimens, or simply chatting casually, and even the steps were much lighter.
It's just that Susa and Kolo, after all, couldn't bear to watch Qin Yi do hard work, although he seemed very relaxed, they still followed the two sides.
On the contrary, Ye Fang and the other three men, carrying large bags and small bags, did not seem easy, who made their physical strength too poor!
The little girl sat on the sleigh car, listening to the story, teasing Teddy, laughing at Mimi's little girl, and seeing the happiness in people's hearts.
Back at the camp, everyone worked together, the women cooked, the men handled the prey, and packed up the tents so that everyone had a place to rest.
Dealing with the prey, naturally, to avoid Angel, it was up to Ryan and Hobbes to do it, and they randomly chose to peel it, remove the two hind legs, and after it was cooked, it was everyone's lunch.
The rest of the prey, several people did not continue to deal with it, and it was somewhat inconvenient in the wild. I buried it in the snow and brought it back with me when I got home tomorrow.
The barbecue still has to be done by Qin Yi and Ryan, both of them have good skills, and barbecue is generally a man's job, because of the big smoke, women don't like it.
In this way, the work of Susa and Kolo is actually to make a fire, and then melt the snow water and prepare a pot of hot soup.
The drinking water I brought yesterday has been frozen, and it's still a lump of ice!
Fortunately, I used some of it yesterday, otherwise several plastic buckets would have been burst.
There was no time to marinate, so Qin Yi cut a few knives on the deer leg, smeared the prepared seasoning into it, and then roasted it like this.
Hunting in the wild in winter. When it's cold, it's already satisfying to be able to eat a hot meal and a bowl of hot soup, so no one minds the unflavored barbecue.
The current camp is located on the inside of the ranch fence, but there is no need to worry about predators, everyone eats, drinks and has a leisurely and happy life. After the meal, I went back to the tent and rested for a while.
In the afternoon, Qin Yi changed his plan and planned to drive the sleigh directly along the gentle slope to the Rocky Mountain.
Anyway, there are two big deer with more than a dozen forks to lay the foundation, even if you can't find the right prey next, it's not worth the trip.
Before you go back, you should do your best.
This decision was supported by several women, led by Colo and Susa. It's more fun to play than to hunt.
The remaining three men didn't matter, especially Ye Fang, anyway, he had already taken down a twelve-pronged prey. The trip was a success.
So, everyone got busy, packed up their things, and set off on the ox sled.
Along. Scare the birds, chase the bunnies, and run into a herd of white-tailed deer, even though there is no suitable prey inside. Everyone still had to rush up with the ox carts, so frightened that they scattered and fled, while the hunting team laughed heartlessly, with a classic villain face!
When you are tired of riding in the car, you will change into skateboards, get off the car and slide for a while, and the smooth arc at the foot of the Rocky Mountain is very suitable for skiing.
The speed was accelerated, and the feeling of flying in the wind was refreshing.
Even, they also held an international ski enthusiast competition, with Qin Yi and Ye Fang, two Chinese, as well as Susa and Kolo, a group of Americans, across the two countries, it can be regarded as international!
Everyone played around, and it took nearly an hour before the result was reached, and with everyone's intention to give in, the championship was taken by Angel, who was very skiing.
Qin Yi carved a simple trophy with a piece of wood on the spot and awarded it to the little girl, so the little girl was happy, handed it to Susa, and asked her to keep it for herself, saying that when she got home, she would store it in her own small closet!
On the way, the Eagle and the Eagle returned to the team and brought back a few pheasants and hares, all of which had been pecked to death by them.
For the sake of the two guys who still know how to take some game to honor themselves, Qin Yi will no longer pursue the responsibility for escaping during the hunting in the morning, but it is still recorded in the account, and the next time he commits it, the two crimes will be punished together!
At that time, Qin Yi counted the funny scene of the second eagle and the big eagle, which made everyone smile.
Driving the carriage, the speed is faster, and the range of running in the afternoon is also very wide, although everyone's mind is mainly to play, but perhaps good luck has come to them, or they have found a prey - a black-tailed deer of nearly 400 catties!
This black-tailed deer is one meter tall at the shoulder and two meters long on the body, but the antlers are only 8 forks, of course, this does not mean that the age of this deer is small, because the black-tailed deer's horns are only 8 forks at most.
In fact, this size and weight is already particularly robust among black-tailed deer.
The black-tailed deer was not hunted for its antlers, but simply for hunting and eating meat.
In the past two years, the number of white-tailed and black-tailed deer in Montana has been somewhat overflowing, and last year, the U.S. government spent $1.8 million to recruit hunters to hunt these two types of deer.
The goal of white-tailed deer alone in five years is to hunt 2,800 heads.
Therefore, after hitting two white-tailed deer with more than a dozen forks, Qin Yi didn't mind hunting a huge black-tailed deer.
Not to contribute, he just wanted to taste the taste of blacktail venison!
Anyway, you have to be hunted by someone, so it's better to eat meat yourself!
Everyone worked together to load the black-tailed deer onto the sleigh and continue to the southwest.
On the way, they also met a squad of Angel's Farm Camping Brigade, where thirty or so tourists were camping, led by Diesel, a capable man trained by Hobbes, and five or six cowboys with shotguns to protect them.
Qin Yi took everyone and greeted the tourists, so he didn't stay long, because many tourists were very interested in McGee and Teddy.
I can't see anyone, so let McGee sell cuteness and behave, in order to avoid accidents, it's better to separate early.
Playing around, the afternoon passed, and the hunting party had gone deep into the woods at the foot of the Rocky Mountain, and by this time it was getting late, and everyone began to set up camp.
After choosing a camp and setting up a tent, everyone started cooking.
It was about the same as lunch, two fat deer legs were used for grilling, and the pheasants and hares contributed by the Eagle and Eagle were also roasted, and then a pot of venison soup was stewed, garnished with vegetables. Drinking sweat all over the cold day makes people feel comfortable.
Each animal also has a large piece of meat, and the meat and bones naturally belong to them, and they eat each one with a round belly.
Qin Yi also took out a bottle of flowing fire brandy from his backpack, which he made out in the small wine cellar in the basement of the main house, and it tasted quite good.
He plans to ask Old Pete to make a batch and auction it off with the collector's edition in the future.
The adults enjoyed the snowy scenery at night, and each drank a small half glass, and intuitively felt that this trip was exciting and refreshing.
And Angel wrinkled her little nose and sniffed at the high flow of fire, and suddenly pouted: Hmph. What is delicious, I have tasted it, sour and astringent, not delicious!
So, the little girl continued to nibble on her big apple.
Blowing the cold wind, everyone sat around the fire and talked and laughed loudly, and finally chatted about the rise, and there was a winter night bonfire golden song Grand Prix.
The rules are simple, everyone takes turns singing a song. The most recognized by everyone is the winner tonight.
As for the prize, you can sleep until dawn instead of getting up in the middle of the night to stand guard!
Susa's singing voice is somewhat delicate. It's very similar to her temperament, but it's not professional, let alone Keluo, Qin Yi has long been taught. Out of tune and running awkward!
Sara was quiet all the way, and the girl was shy and couldn't let go in front of unfamiliar people. However, the song "WaitingForyou" sang well and was very emotionally engaged, winning everyone's applause.
Amanda is not bad either, "Goldisagile" is very felt under her heroic singing voice.
But the one that best fits the current atmosphere is "Where Will You Be" sung by Ryan and Hobbs.
This is a piece of country music, sung by two tacit old men, either majestic and rough, or high-pitched and agitated, which actually made Qin Yi and a few people who were enjoying the empty night sky and the vast snowfield feel an ethereal feeling!
For a while, listening to the bright and tactful tune, the troubles seemed to have been thrown away, and the feeling of freedom and freedom made everyone enjoy it very much.
But the final winner is not Ryan and Hobbs, but everyone's little sweetheart Angel!
The little girl thought for a long time and sang a kindergarten children's song to everyone, not that it was very good, but that the little girl was jumping and jumping, and the cheerful appearance, coupled with the brisk tune, made everyone feel simpler and purer happiness.
And the main purpose of tonight's singing contest is not to win a place without sentry, but to have fun and be happy.
Besides, the little girl didn't have to get up and sentry in the first place!
Playing until more than 9 o'clock, the temperature dropped at night, the whistling mountain wind blew off the snow on the bent branches, and the thick cotton clothes could not withstand the invasion of the cold, and a wave of coolness hit the heart.
After a day of playing, everyone was tired, and under Qin Yi's instructions, they returned to the tent to rest.
The four women took the little girl to live in the largest tent, Qin Yi and Ye Fang lived together, and the remaining tent belonged to Ryan and Hobbs.
Women and children naturally don't have to keep vigil, Qin Yi and the other four men roughly said that when they made a decision, Ryan and Qin Yi kept watch for the first half of the night, and Qin Yi and the others kept watch for the second half of the night.
Naturally, it is better to keep the first half of the night, so that you can get some sleep, but Ryan and the two are old men in their fifties and sixties, and they have been running in the ice and snow for two days, and they don't have a good rest, but they are afraid that it will not be good for their health.
In the future, the ranch will still have to be managed by them, and Qin Yi naturally doesn't want to tire them out!
At the inside door of Susa's tent, the black rice wheat curled quietly, as if asleep, with only ears that flicked from time to time to indicate that they were still listening to their surroundings.
McGee's mother and son didn't care about it, lying in Qin Yi's tent, already asleep, but fortunately, the tent was big enough, and the two of them were lying just right.
In the tent, Qin Yi and Ye Fang slept in their sleeping bags and clothes, listening to the sound of the wind blowing branches and shaking the snow outside, as well as the squeaky sound of the trees under the weight of the snow and the night wind, the two gradually fell asleep.
The first half of the night was very quiet, Qin Yi and the two slept until the agreed time, and then replaced Ryan and the two to sleep.
Rubbing their faces with snow, Qin Yi and Ye Fang drank coffee around the fire, chatting casually, and finally didn't know how to talk about the green years of college, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while, and they felt very different.
Time passed quietly, and at about three or four o'clock in the morning, the accident happened! (To be continued......)
