Chapter 158: I can't afford to provoke it, and I can't hide it
That night, although Hong Tao couldn't relive the happy time with Erin 1 year ago, he was not idle, except for not disturbing the eldest aunt, he did everything he had to do. As the saying goes, dry firewood meets fire, Erin's bundle of firewood is not clear whether it is dry Hong Tao, but his own fire is really strong, the two of them tossed until 2 o'clock before Ming Jin retreated, when the violent knock on the door sounded, Hong Tao felt as if he had just closed his eyes.
Whether it's fishing or hunting, it's generally up to crawl in the middle of the night, and the early birds have something to eat. When Hong Tao and Erin finished washing up and went downstairs with their backpacks, they found that it was not only their own wave of birds who got up early, but also that Boss Liu and his daughter were also standing in the foyer to pack up their equipment, Boss Liu had changed out of his fur coat and leather shoes, and was wearing a gray winter suit, high-waisted snow boots and a woolen hat, while their beautiful daughter had not changed much, and it was still the same as when she came yesterday.
There were three pickup trucks parked outside the house, all of which had been replaced with snowshoes, two of which belonged to Pavey and Harrison, and the remaining one was presumably from Ignatius's family, each with a full compartment and a tow rack towing on it a snowmobile with some equipment.
Hong Tao is still in the same car as Erin and Old Gale, but the vehicle has been replaced by the unfamiliar car, and the driver has been replaced by Austin; Pavey's car was driven by Harrison, with Pavey, Katie, and Jim sitting in it; In Harrison's car were the family of two and Ignatius, exactly 11 people divided into 3 cars.
As a loud car horn pierced the territory of the big bear in the early morning, the hunting activity finally kicked off, and Hong Tao's car, as a pioneer, took the lead in rushing into the vast snowfield.
At this time, the time was just 5 o'clock, the sky was not yet fully bright, and the snow was still falling, but the snowflakes were not as big as last night, but they still affected the visibility, and Austin had to turn on a row of spotlights on the roof of the car to barely see the snow dozens of meters ahead.
The convoy didn't follow the road at all, in fact, there was no road in the first place, and the Great Bear Territory itself was a ranch, with only one road leading to Huntsville. However, hunting must be driven into the forest and the mountains, so you can only choose to go through the pastures directly into the forest to the east, which is also the reason why all three cars are equipped with snow tracks, and ordinary tires cannot drive on such thick snow at all.
The visibility outside is not high, if you want to enjoy the scenery, you have to wait for the sky to be completely bright, Hong Tao is idle and has nothing to do, so he and Erin took the thin hunting manual given by Austin to read, after dinner yesterday, he and Sister Erin, Jim and the father and daughter, have passed the written test of the hunting license through the computer, and now there is still a practical test to be tested, the content of the exam is basically on this 9-page manual, basically the knowledge of the safe use of firearms, Austin said that he is not in a hurry, It's not too late to wait until you get to the camp to take the test.
The first time Hong Tao rode this kind of car with snow tracks, and the last time he rode Pavi's tracked car in Lake Simko, he basically drove on the ice, and only changed two rear wheels, so he basically didn't feel any difference. But now this kind of car with four snow tracks is walking on a snowfield with no roads, and the feeling is very different.
The most different place is the bumps, special bumps, the tracks are not as elastic as the tires, so no matter what bulges on the ground, they will be truthfully transmitted to the vehicle's shock absorption system, and the shock absorbers of these pickups are hard, plus the ground is too off-road, Hong Tao and Erin sat in the back seat, let alone reading, can keep the heads of two people from touching together, they have done their best.
After crawling for about 20 minutes, Ignatius's voice came from the car radio, which probably meant to take a break, and because of his unique accent, not only Hong Tao, but also Erin couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Just walking for a while and resting?" When Austin got out of the car and went to the back to inquire about the situation, Hong Tao asked Old Gail what was going on.
"Your crush is a little motion sick, Austin has already gone to see the situation." Old Gail's mouth became more and more like Hong Tao, and he didn't speak at all.
"We're hunting with them!" Only then did Hong Tao react a little to what Pavey meant by what he said last night.
"No way, the snow is so big, the helicopter can't take off, they were originally going to take the helicopter to hunt, but now they can only follow us, not only hunting together, but also living together, eating together, and living together for several days, this is the opportunity that God has created for you, you must seize it." Old Gale probably told Hong Tao the reason, in fact, these things were said once at the dinner table last night, but at that time, Hong Tao was in a short period of adolescence, and he didn't hear anything.
"But maybe you don't have to, I happened to sleep next door to you yesterday, and you seem to like us American girl more." Old Gale was stunned when he saw Hong Tao, and added another sentence.
"I'll have to deal with your daughter-in-law, don't send Bloom to live with you again, you'll teach bad kids." Hong Tao didn't have any tricks for this veteran ruffian, so he could only try to pick his grandson, whom he valued more seriously, as a weakness.
"You see that Erin doesn't object, don't you like her?" Old Gail was not moved by Hong Tao's threat at all, and continued to joke with the two of them, the most hateful thing was that Erin next to him not only did not help Hong Tao deal with this old man, but also threw autumn waves with the old man, if this is in China, Erin is a standard two hundred and five, and old Gail is an old rascal, how can there be a 60-year-old and a 20-year-old girl and a young man talking about calling a bed at night.
At this time, Austen ran back, called old Gale out of the car, stepped aside and muttered, glancing at the car from time to time. Hong Tao suddenly felt that something was wrong, he couldn't hear what the two people were saying, but looking at the way they spoke, I was afraid that the matter was related to him.
"Tao, there is something that needs your help, but you can choose to refuse, would you like to listen to me?" Old Gale and Austin talked for a while, and walked out of Hong Tao's car window.
"Tell me, if I can help, I'll help." Hong Tao pondered in his heart, can I say no! That's too inhuman.
"That's right, Mr. Ignatius has a strong English accent, and your compatriots can't understand it very well, and they can't understand the English Ignatius speaks, so there is a bit of a problem in communication, can you go to their car and help translate."
"Then why don't they hire a translator? They don't lack that money, right?" Hong Tao was a little messy when he heard this, the master who can hire a helicopter to hunt, can't he afford to hire a translator?
"Originally, I was going to hire it, but the lady refused, she said that she had been studying in England for more than 10 years, and she had no problem with English, but now there is a problem." Old Gale was actually embarrassed, Hong Tao was brought by him, and Ignatius was found by Pavey, and it was difficult for both sides to refuse.
"But I don't understand Mr. Ignatius's English, let alone me, Irene's not even understanding." Hong Tao's desire to stick up when he saw a beautiful woman has long been gone, just like Irene said, the two sides are not of the same class, and it is not good for them to get close.
"Let Harrison drive that car, you and Harrison have a companion, his temper is very bad, Austin is afraid that it will cause misunderstanding, you can still be restrained with Harrison." Old Gail and they had already designed it, and when Hong Tao heard this, he also understood in his heart that it should not only be a problem of communication, I am afraid that the aura of the father and daughter is too strong, this is to let himself be used as a shield, alas, life is hard.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do it, I can only try." Hong Tao doesn't want to go, but it's all said about this, if you don't go, you can't say it, in case there is any conflict, this hunt will be in vain, Ignatius's family Hong Tao has just come into contact, and he can't talk about any feelings, but old Gail and Pavey are really good to themselves, so they should be a favor.
