"You've also hunted bears?" Although Leon had known that she was an unusual woman, he was still a little shocked at the moment. The United States is indeed a gun-owning society, but the average woman just buys a small pistol to protect herself, a shotgun? He looked at Xing'er's slender and slender body, and he couldn't imagine it.

"Don't you look at me like a monster, okay?" Xing'er complained angrily, "All the children of our Lu family are sharpshooters. I'm not the strongest yet..."

This is the truth, Lu's mother very much encourages her children to learn to use guns from an early age, in her opinion, this is much more important than any academic performance. The strongest of the four children of the Lu family is indeed not Xing'er, but... Fei'er. When it comes to using guns, his only son, Lu Yichen, is the least in comparison, and in his own words, "not particularly interested." "But when they were adults, they all had their own little pistols, mainly to protect themselves.

By law, in most states in the United States, children can legally own firearms. Under U.S. gun laws, the minimum legal age for owning a firearm is in fact very lenient. Federal law prohibits people under the age of 18 from owning firearms, with exceptions. There is no minimum age to own a long-barreled firearm, such as a rifle or shotgun. So in fact, many children will follow their parents (most of them are fathers who like hunting) to learn to hunt from an early age, and their survival skills in the wild are excellent.

There are 20 states and the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.) where the minimum legal age ranges from 14 in Montana all the way up to 21 in Illinois, and the remaining 30 states technically allow children to own long-barreled firearms. But that doesn't mean kids can go buy guns.

Federal law sets the minimum age to purchase a firearm. Technically, anyone selling a firearm should look at proof of age to see if the purchaser is at least 18 years old. But the child's parents can buy it, and if the father wants to give his son a gun on his child's 13th or 14th birthday, he is free to do so in most states.

Xing'er's first hunting was taken to the Great Lakes by Lu's father, because Massachusetts is relatively stricter, and other states, especially some crimson conservative states in the United States (Republican-run areas, such as Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Iowa, etc.) are very encouraging children to hunt, and the Great Lakes region (Wisconsin, Michigan, etc.) where hunting is traditional is also a variety of hunting grounds that children can experience.

Xing'er hunted for the first time and was not yet 10 years old. The hunting grounds she went to required children under the age of 10 to hunt with guns accompanied by a trained adult, and the trophies of her first hunt were a reindeer and a white arctic fox. Of course, the trophy had to be disposed of, and the deer was made into a taxidermy, and the fox skin was kept as a souvenir.

Later, parents often took their children to travel everywhere, and whenever there was such an activity, Lu's mother would encourage them to try it (although she never participated in it herself).

In short, Xing'er is a complete hunting enthusiast, so she only used her annual leave to find Reed two years ago and took her on a deep hunting trip, and finally succeeded in hunting a brown bear, which she can be proud of for the rest of her life.

Usually living in the city, Xing'er also regularly goes to the shooting range to practice to keep himself in good condition, or meets a few friends to go to the skeet field with a gun, and whoever wins the night has to invite everyone to dinner, and I don't know who set the damage regulations, Xing'er is always bleeding from his purse... After all, she has been using big guys like rifles and shotguns since she was a child, and being proficient in using rifles is of great help to play flying saucers, and many of the skills in flying saucer practice are drawn from the habit of shooting with rifles. Versatility can sometimes be quite distressing...

"Don't worry, I'll let Reed help us both with all the procedures that need to be done, and we'll just have fun together tomorrow." She patted Leon on the shoulder heroically.

"If you're going into the mountains with Reed tomorrow, then you should go back and rest early today." Jacky looked at his watch and suggested very sympathetically.

"Yes, it's important to rest well, and you can pack a little sausage to take away at that moment, and you can also use it as dry food on the road." Nora said as she stood up and went to the kitchen to start packing. Sausages are a great food to carry while hunting, and Jacky himself likes to carry a few sticks with him when hunting.

Xing'er happily took the sausage, happily motioned for Leon to carry it, and after the meal, the two said goodbye to Jacky and his wife and went home.

It's a joy to get together with friends, Xing'er hums a little song excitedly, although there are no lyrics, but the rhythm of the cancan in "Overture to Heaven and Hell" can tell that she is in a good mood.

Leon looked at her happy appearance, and was deeply infected by her happiness, and unconsciously one leg also beat gently to her rhythm.

Back at home and putting things in the refrigerator, Xing'er said to Leon mysteriously, "If you are not tired, do you want to go to the place with me." ”

This morning, the two of them slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and in the afternoon it was the dog sledding instead of their own sledding, so it was really not tiring, and for Xing'er's proposal, Leon knew that it would always be interesting, so he naturally would not refuse.

Xing'er stretched out her hand and happily pulled Leon, and in an instant a slight coolness came from her hand, which stimulated Leon's instinctive desire to protect, and his hand wrapped her tightly, "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

"I seem to have been like this since I was a child, and it is difficult for my hands and feet to be warm." Xing'er replied disapprovingly, and continued to pull Leon upstairs.

Walking to the top floor, it was pitch black, and Leon sneered: "It's so dark, what bad things do you want to pull me in?" ”

Xing'er ignored him, walked to the bedside and opened the curtains, and through the moonlight the room could see a huge waterbed in the center.

Leon walked to the side of the bed, and after confirming the waterbed, he waved at Xing'er even more maliciously, and when Xing'er walked up to him, he put his arms around her and sat on his lap, "Tell me what you want to do?" "Honestly, if it's what he thinks, it's right in his hands, and he wants to...

Xing'er pushed him down, and he also lay down, Leon rolled over and pressed down and gave a hot kiss in the next second, which was even more intense and affectionate than the one in the afternoon...

Xing'er wrapped her hand around him and took a remote control, and when he was reluctant to leave her lips, she remembered to press the button.

The ceiling suddenly parted, and the entire canopy was like a stage, slowly appearing in front of them, with the bright stars in the sky.

Leon was a little stunned, and was gently pushed by Xing'er, and lay on his back on the waterbed like her, in addition to the sky in front of him, he could see the aurora dancing faintly in the canopy.
