Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

As for where there are hunting suits with good styles and good quality for sale, Lydia is naturally clear, and soon bought him all the equipment. Women are always fanatical about shopping, but fortunately, they have to rush back to the manor before dinner to change the earl's dressing, and the time is limited, Li Han can be regarded as escaping, so he also went shopping for more than three hours and bought a bunch of clothes and shoes.

I went home to get the dress, and then went to Tom's house to get him a hunting suit, and the two of them carried large bags and small bags, and finally caught the train back in a hurry. After sitting down on the seat, Li Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really tired, the woman in the shopping was even better than the man he had practiced, just like a buff with a body bonus. In fact, if it's just the fatigue of the body, it's okay, and the true yuan will recover after a few turns in the body, but the main thing is that the heart is tired! The women in the shopping are terrible.

Lydia looked at him as if she had just come to life, pursed her lips and smiled for a while, and said, "Cold, I'm sorry, I forgot the time when I walked around." ”

Li Han waved his hand: "It's my honor that you are willing to let me accompany you shopping, and besides, I am only better than you as a big man." Although he said this a little too demeaning to himself, it was also a big truth. Lydia is such a beautiful girl with money and status, and there are many men who are willing to accompany her shopping, but she may not be willing to let any man accompany her.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon the day was set for the hunt. The time was set for 5 o'clock in the morning, and as soon as it was dawn, everyone had breakfast and prepared to leave. In addition to Lydia, Li Han and Tom, there is also Lydia's cousin, a chubby girl named Erna Hope, Li Han visually measured it, her height is about 165, and her weight is at least 2oo pounds.

Aina Hope is the same age as Lydia, both students at Oxford University, and will be in their senior year at the beginning of the next academic year, and the two have a very good relationship and often play together. This time, I heard that Tom Hiddleston actually lived in Reims Manor and was going hunting, so he came to join in the fun. She is a girl who loves to talk and laugh, although she is a fan of Tom, she is not pestering, and she is very measured in her words and actions.

Although the woods are not too large when viewed from the second-floor window, they actually occupy several mountains and thousands of acres. In order to facilitate hunting, a road was specially built to lead directly to the mountain. Although the road was smooth, it was not very wide, and there were sharp turns or steep slopes from time to time, and the sky was dark, and the car drove very slowly, but the twenty-mile road took more than half an hour.

"The car can only drive here, let's get out of the car." Lydia stopped the car, and several hounds were already eager to jump out of the back compartment.

The scenery on the mountain is very good, you can see the green forest sea on the mountain in the distance through the dawn, the occasional early bird passing by in the air, and the animals should go out to find food, which is a good time for hunting.

Lydia led the dog in front of the way, everyone followed behind with their shotguns, and Li Han carried a large backpack in addition to the gun, which contained their lunch and necessities. Tom was going to help him share some of the burden, but this weight was really nothing to Li Han, so he declined.

The mountain road was not easy to walk, steep and rugged, and from time to time there were bushes and thorns blocking the way, so they had to take a detour or cut down obstacles, and they could often see the marks of slashing, perhaps left by the Earl.

Lydia is used to it, although Li Han has never hunted before, but because of the dexterity of martial arts, Tom is a little worse, but it is also exercised, and Li Han's medicinal diet improves her physique, and she can barely keep up. Aina was fine at first, but after walking for a long time, she began to pant, she was too fat, she put a lot of pressure on her legs, and she was not flexible enough, and she was even more tired when she needed to avoid some sticking branches.

After walking for more than an hour, when everyone was a little tired, Lydia finally stopped, made a silent motion, and the hound quieted down. Aina let out a long breath and sat down to wipe her sweat.

Lydia lowered her voice and said, "Look at the river, the animals will come here to drink, let's just pick the one we like." Be careful not to hit juvenile animals and not females, especially pregnant females. ”

There are already a lot of animals drinking water by the lake, a herd of deer, wild boars, a family of foxes, monkeys, wild ducks, geese, swans...... They are not vigilant and drink with confidence, and some of the little ones start to play and play without their parents when they are full of water. After the extinction of some ferocious animals such as wolves and tigers in Britain, these animals had almost no natural predators, except for the occasional fight of the Earl and his friends.

Thinking of this, Li Han remembered his previous question, he also checked some information when he was preparing for hunting, and the data showed that the bears in Britain were also extinct like fierce animals such as wolves, why did the earl still meet bears in his own territory?

Although he was curious, Li Han didn't ask much, maybe it was related to their **, such as title inheritance and the like, there must be a large amount of property with the title inheritance, and the wealth is moving!

While Li Han was distracted, Tom had already picked up his gun, and he had taken a fancy to a sturdy stag with twelve prongs on his head, which would be a good trophy if he had made a specimen of his head and hung it under the stairs.

Unfortunately, while he was still aiming, suddenly another deer took a few steps and got between the twelve prongs and the shotgun, and Tom could only wait patiently for it to walk away. The deer didn't stand still, it quickly walked away, and Tom took aim at the twelve prongs and pulled the trigger. At this moment, Li Han suddenly let out a low cry, something grazed Tom's scalp and flew over, his frightened hand shook, and with the sound of the gun, the animals were startled, and they ran away, and instantly dispersed into the woods, leaving a quiet place.

"Hey!" Tom exclaimed protestingly, "Cold, what's going on?" ”

Li Han grinned and walked under a tree a few steps to his left and said, "We have lunch." He stooped down and picked up a snake from under the tree that was at least six or seven centimeters thick and one meter long, with a silver needle stuck in its head. Everyone's faces changed, the snake obviously fell from a tree branch above Tom's head, if it wasn't for Li Han's shot, maybe he would have been bitten by the snake.

"Man, you saved me again," Tom looked at the snake with trepidation, "this is supposed to be a copper-spotted snake, very venomous." ”

"Poisonous snakes are delicious, we can eat them half stewed and half roasted." Li Han took it in his hand and weighed it, threw it aside and clapped his hands, "I don't know how long it will take for those animals to come back, do we need to change places?" ”

The two ladies cautiously moved two steps further away from the snake, and Lydia replied, "This is the best place, but we can go up the river and see there, there is a meadow and a lot of deer." ”

Li Han nodded, took out a bag from his bag and stuffed the snake into the backpack, Lydia watched his movements, hesitated, and asked, "Han, do you really want to eat snakes?" ”

"Of course," Li Han said without hesitation, "Don't worry, it's poisonous, it's poisonous, the meat is clean, and it's very delicious, I'm sure you'll like it." ”

The two girls looked at each other with frowning faces, and didn't speak again, anyway, they brought enough food for lunch, in addition to chicken sandwiches and mashed potatoes, as well as grilled sausages and cut fruit, and even prepared snacks and tea bags for afternoon tea, which were all in the big bag on Li Han's back. As for the snake, this Chinese medicine doctor can eat it if he likes to eat it, and the people of Huangguo really eat everything!

Tom was a little entangled, he knew Li Han's good skills, but he was always a little afraid of snakes, and he felt goosebumps all over his body when he thought of entering the mouth, and he hesitated for a long time and decided to talk about it later.

After walking for more than half an hour, after rounding a mountain, the front suddenly opened up. This is a valley in which the river runs through it, and on both sides it is fertile land with lush vegetation. There was a herd of deer grazing by the river, and in the woods at the edge of the meadow, Li Han saw a few little foxes hiding under the trees and secretly looking out.

"The picnic in this place is quite good," Li Han said with a smile, "It makes me feel like I have returned to my childhood, the same place, but there were not so many animals at that time." ”

It is said that in the early days, rabbits and muntjac could often be found in the mountains, and wild boars and wolves could occasionally be seen, but when he became sensible, there was nothing, and occasionally a few small snakes could be seen basking in the grass.

Tom stared at the deer, looking for deer over ten forks, and absentmindedly replied, "If we can hit the deer, we will have meat to eat, and roast venison is still good." ”

"Sounds really good," Li Han said hesitantly, "Will you clean it up?" I've only seen pig killing. ”

Lydia smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you don't need a specimen, I can still clean up a deer, I used to hunt with my father, and I have done it many times." ”

Aina also said: "I will too, in the past, Lydia and I were in charge of lunch when we went out hunting, so we always cleaned up the prey. ”

Two of them can clean up their prey, and three can cook, Tom suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure, originally it was just for the spoils of war, and now if he didn't shoot the deer, wouldn't he be eating white rice?

Fortunately, because there were no natural predators, there were still many adult male deer in the herd, and Tom soon found another deer with big horns, and he counted them, and there were fourteen forks.

The male deer paced leisurely in the herd, occasionally bowing his head to eat two mouthfuls of grass, and occasionally sniffing the pregnant doe, like a playboy in the game world, so that Li Han and Tom, who were also males, only felt envy, jealousy and hatred.

Jealousy kills, so Tom shoots decisively. With a loud "bang", the fourteen forks fell, and the rest of the animals scattered as birds and beasts. The hounds barked excitedly and rushed out, barking around Fourteen Forks, the shot was hitting it down the neck, Fourteen Forks didn't know if it was because of pain or fear, the front legs twitched, and a dark brown hound immediately pounced on its neck.

"Good marksmanship!" Li Han applauded and praised, it was the first time for him to participate in this kind of activity, although it was not the kind of tense scene of hunting fierce beasts, he still couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and he just wanted to have another deer immediately, so that he could also have a good time.
