The next morning, about seven o'clock, I thought the waiter had arrived at Scrooge's residence. He told Scott that Mr. Morgan Jr. had asked him to take Scrooge directly to the place where the hunt was held. Scrooge hurried out with his new rifle and got into a four-wheeled carriage waiting there.

The carriage walked along the streets of New York for a long time and stopped at a dockside. Scrooge got out of the carriage and saw J.P. Morgan standing on the deck of a small yacht.

"Hey, Scrooge." JP Morgan waved at Scrooge, "Come over here." ”

Boarding the yacht along the gangplank, Scrooge asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go hunting?" How did you get on board? ”

"Oh, the place where we hunt is a small island. Well, it's not too small, but there is no fresh water on the island, so it is not inhabited. However, there are quite a few wild goats on the island. ”

"Isn't this the same island in The Count of Monte Cristo?" Scrooge said.

"That's right! Well, maybe we should go to the island and look for it and see if there are any caves where the treasure is hidden. J.P. Morgan laughed, "Ilyich, do you remember that there is a cave on the island?" ”

"Ah, yes, young master. At low tide, I saw a cave at the bottom of a cliff facing north. But the hole was too small for a dog or a cat to get into, and no one could get into it anyway. One of the sailors replied.

"Even if you can get in, Ilyich you won't go in." J.P. Morgan said, "But when is the ebb tide? We can go there and have a look. If you cast a spell on the hole, it might suddenly become very big. ”

At this time, another carriage drove up. J.P. Morgan furrowed his eyebrows: "That damn European vampire is here." ”

By this time, the carriage had come to a steady stop. The door opened, and a young man of about twenty-three or four, wearing a small blue hat, got out of the car, stood on the side of the door, and held out a hand, and then a slender jade hand wearing lace gloves came out of the car......

J.P. Morgan began to introduce Scrooge to the two men who had just come aboard.

"This is Joshua, Joshua? Mr. Rothschild. J.P. Morgan pronounced the surname "Rothschild" more heavily, and it seemed to be a bit of a gnashing of teeth. Apparently, though, this Mr. Joshua didn't take it to heart. He took the initiative to introduce his female companion:

"This is my cousin, Miss Helen. She heard that you were going to hunt on the island, and she was very interested, so she came with me to see the excitement. Joshua said with a smile.

In the ears of a time-traveler like Scrooge, the surname Rothschild is really thunderous. This family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and even the world, they control the financial markets in Europe and even the world, relying on their influence in the economic field, they directly affect the entire course of history, in any contemporary political and economic activities, you can show their shadow behind or hidden or visible.

"I'm not here to see the excitement, I can shoot, and my marksmanship is good." The little black-headed girl, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, said, "I am no worse than any man." ”

At this time, more wagons came to the docks, and more people boarded the boats. Among these people, Scrooge also saw his old friend Warren? Draenau. The people were all on board, and they were all talking in small circles. At this time, the small yacht also raised its sails and headed towards the blue sea.

"Hey, Scrooge, your new gun is done?" Warren? Draenor walked over to Scrooge with a glass of red wine.

"yes, it's time to try the gun today." Scrooge said.

"Did you try it when you were at home?" Warren? Draenor asked, "What was the result?" ”

Warren Drano certainly knew that Scrooge must have tried this gun at home, otherwise how could he have come with this gun? He is also a veteran of playing with guns, and on this boat, there are many people who like to play with guns, but if you really want to talk about the master of playing guns, you have to count him first.

"In the hands of a seasoned shooter, the shooting energy is five to six times that of a breech gun that uses a typical mini bullet, and in the absence of wind, it can also have a hit rate of more than 40 percent on a stationary chest target at a distance of about 4oo meters." Scrooge replied.

"Oh my God!" Warrendrano's eyes widened, "What you said is true?" If I had known that your gun was so useful, I wouldn't have introduced you to Mr. Morgan. I'll cut some meat for the rest of the business, and I'll make this money with you." ”

Scrooge knew that this kind of thing should not be taken too seriously, and it was enough to listen to it. So he smiled and said, "In any case, I still want to thank you, the opportunity to cooperate, I think there will be many in the future." ”

At this time, there was a burst of laughter and shouts from the bow of the boat: "Island! There's an island over there! Is that there? ”

Scrooge looked in that direction, and sure enough, the pointed summit of a small island was slowly emerging from beneath the sea level. As the ships approached, the details of the island became clearer. The island is larger than it first looks, and on the north side of the island is a rocky mountain about 100 meters high, which is not high, but it is very steep, with steep cliffs on the side of the sea and shrubs on the south slope. The southern side of the island is relatively gentle and open, overgrown with knee-high weeds and a variety of unknown small shrubs. The sea breeze blows, and large fields of wild grass sway in the wind, forming a green wave.

"How can there be wild goats on this island?" "Where did they come from?" Scrooge asked. ”

"Oh, maybe it was when the old migrant ship docked there to take shelter from the storm, or maybe it simply floated to the island with the wreckage of the shipwreck. The same goes for the wild dogs on the island. They live by eating those wild goats. J.P. Morgan just walked over and replied.

"And when did you come to this interesting place?" Scrooge asked.

"Two years ago, I came back from Europe on vacation and got a small boat out fishing, and I ended up on this island." J.P. Morgan replied proudly, "Two completely alien species have multiplied on such a strange island, and a balance has been struck. What an interesting thing to do. Scrooge, if only goats were the goats, what do you think the island would look like now? ”

"There must be no grass on this island." Scrooge replied.

"Well, yes, if the sheep have no natural enemies, the number will be out of control, and in the end, it will only bring complete destruction. So, there are tigers and wolves in the world, and these are all God's wisdom and God's will. Human society is the same, and it also needs tigers and wolves. At this, J.P. Morgan grinned and showed his white teeth, and the sun shone on his teeth, and there was a feeling of sparkle.

Then, J.P. Morgan suddenly retracted his smile, stared at Scrooge seriously, and said, "I am the tiger wolf who came to the world by the will of God. ”

At this time, the ship turned to the other side of the island, and a small harbor appeared in front of everyone.

"It's blocked by mountains on three sides, and the wind and waves are very small. The first time I came here, I docked here. Later, I had a trestle built here so that I could come and play around from time to time. In the blink of an eye, I haven't been here for a year. However, the pier looks very good. Alright, we're going to get ready to go ashore. J.P. Morgan pointed to a wooden pier in the harbor and said to Scrooge.

……

On the island, Jp Morgan first emphasized the relevant discipline to everyone: "Don't get separated, so you are likely to be injured by others as prey." Also, take care of the lady...... "He glanced at Scrooge, "and the child." There are wild dogs on the island, which are very timid and generally do not attack people, but women and children are not necessarily safe when they are separated. Goats tend to be in the mountains, and we go up the mountain first. ”

So everyone climbed up the hill together. Because of the fact that they were carrying Miss Helen, everyone climbed the mountain very slowly, and it took a long time to reach the halfway point of the mountain, when the eldest lady named Helen suddenly shouted, "Over there, there seems to be a goat over there!" And wild dogs! ”

Following the direction of Helen's expenditure, Scrooge looked over. He saw two wild dogs biting a goat. One dingo bit the goat's back and the other bit the goat's nose as they tried to bring the goat to the ground.

Not far away, about a hundred meters away, a herd of goats was hiding on a steep rock face and looking this way. Apparently, the goat, which was being bitten, belonged to the flock, and it had not been able to quickly hide on the steep rock wall during the attack. (Goats are good at climbing, and often use this hand to avoid attacks from predators)

Scrooge made a visual inspection, the distance between the goats and him who stayed on the rock wall was about more than two hundred meters and less than three hundred meters, at this distance, coupled with the sea breeze, Scrooge did not have the confidence to use the cottage Mauser in his hand to hit a target the size of a goat. So he shook his head and whispered, "It's too far." ”

"This distance is not bad, more than two hundred meters, it should be within the range of your gun. Scrooge, give me your gun? Warren Drano said with some eagerness.

"Okay. I've heard that you're a god in demand, so let's get a glimpse of it. Scrooge handed the gun to Warrendrano.

Warren Drano had seen the design of this gun, so he was not so unfamiliar with such a gun that he didn't know how to operate it. He quickly loaded his bullets, then raised his gun and aimed it at the goat in the distance.

"Joshua, do you guess Mr. Warren can hit the target?" J.P. Morgan said to Joshua.

"It's not easy, it's too far. It's just an elephant over there, so it's not so easy to hit. Joshua looked at the distance, and then at the gun in Volendrano's hand, well, it was a rear-loading gun, and the rear-loading gun was not as powerful and accurate as the front-loading gun with Mini bullets because of air leakage and other reasons, especially the accuracy at long distances.

"Why don't we make a bet and bet $1oo and I'll hit the target by pressing Volendrano." J.P. Morgan said.

Joshua thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." Bet on you! ”

By this time, Warren Drano had already taken aim at the target, his fingers had been placed on the trigger, and he was about to shoot this shot.
