Early the next morning

When it was still dark, the horses in the farm yard were lively, and Bian Shoutian was shouting with a shiny Winchester repeating rifle in his hand;

"Second tiger, hurry up and put the horse up, don't forget to beat a few eggs in the concentrate feed, it's not easy to hunt today, let the horse eat a little longer."

"Big Tiger, did you take care of your rifle yesterday?"

"Spring flower girl, go see if your brother is up, when will he not get up."

"Coming, coming......"

Bian Chunsong went downstairs while putting on his clothes, and walked to the porch to see Abba, Second Mother, Big Tiger, and Second Tiger were all dressed neatly, with bullet belts full of bullets, carrying rifles in their hands, and were preparing to put on a saddle, waiting for the mount to eat some concentrate feed, drink some water, and set off when they were ready.

He asked, stunned; "Abba, are you going rabbit hunting today?"

"Of course, today the nearby farms and the armed militia in the town are all out to hunt the rabbits in the surrounding fields, these bad things that plague the crops multiply too fast, they have to be combed once a month, you hurry up and prepare to go together."

"Abba, I'm going back in the afternoon."

"I know, don't be verbose, time is in time, quickly find out your gun, don't be stupid to read all day long, just go out for activities."

"Oh, okay then."

Bian Chunsong couldn't resist Abba, so he could only quickly run back and take out the rifle in the bedroom, bring the kettle and some dry food that had been prepared long ago, and hurriedly rode off with his family.

In Australian farms and ranches, there are almost no people who can't ride horses and shoot guns.

Bian Chunsong learned to ride a horse and shoot a gun at the age of 13, and his marksmanship was quite good, but later he abandoned his skills when he went to school, and he did not make much progress over the years.

In the hazy morning light

A family of five rode horses to meet with the surrounding farmers, and gradually formed a larger team, and when they arrived in Hejia Town, there were cowboys riding horses and guns everywhere in sight, the number was several thousand, and there was a neighing of horses and dogs barking everywhere.

Bian Shoutian was originally a junior officer of the Dragoon Guard, and he was quite prestigious in the local area, and after a meeting with some of the town's stewards, his men were assigned a hunting team of more than 100 people, who were responsible for driving the hares all the way along the Qigui River, driving the hares to a distant valley to hunt.

Australia's hares are huge, and very fierce, and there have even been examples of greyhounds being kicked to death, once they rush up and run very fast, and turn quickly, ordinary shepherds can't catch up, and only greyhounds can compete.

Frightened rabbits are running around in the wild, and they are really hard to hit when they run, and they require excellent marksmanship.

Therefore, the Winchester lever repeater of the cowboys uses shotguns, and the lead is shot out of a large piece, the lever repeater firepower is fierce, and the chamber can be loaded with more than ten bullets.

The Winchester Repeater is best known for its 10th Russo-Turkish War in 1877, when the Ottoman army used this new lever rifle to inflict heavy defeat on the Russian army in the defense of the Pleven Fortress.

The overwhelming Russian army carried out three consecutive white-knuckle assaults, killing and wounding in the dense rain of bullets from Winchester's lever repeating guns, causing a total of about 20,000 heavy casualties among Russian soldiers, and became famous for a while.

In this day and age

The Winchester repeating rifle was a lever rifle loved by cowboys, sheriffs and bandits during the development boom of the American West, and it was also popular in Australia, widely popular with cowboys and farmers, and was a first-class weapon for hunting hares.

"Obey my commands...... Team C departs. ”

Bian Shoutian shouted, and took the lead in setting off with more than 100 cowboys and dozens of dogs, and the other teams behind him left the town one by one and hunted in all directions.

At this time, the sky was gradually clear, and the hare nests in the suburbs were alarmed by a large group of men and horses, and fled in all directions in panic.

Because it is a large group of people, the cowboys can only shoot at the target in front, and it is strictly forbidden to shoot left, right and backward, even if there is a hare that has slipped through the net, it cannot be fired to prevent bullets from accidentally injuring people.

Bian Chunsong rode a horse in the queue, and he saw a young woman wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and a circle full of yellow, orange and orange bullets on her belt.

"Hmm...... I take the liberty of being presumptuous, I am Bian Chunsong of Bian Family Farm, dare to ask who is the surname of this young lady? I don't think I've seen it before, but it's a new immigrant? ”

The young woman did not answer his question, but quickly took aim with her gun and fired.

After a "pop ......" gunshot

I saw that among the dozen or so wild rabbits scurrying around seventy or eighty meters, a fat big hare was beaten and flew up in the air, throwing out a clear blood line and falling on the grass.

"Papapa......" After a few shots in a row, the rabbit almost fell down when the gun rang, and this woman's marksmanship was very good.

It wasn't until all the hares in front of her had been slaughtered by the cowboys that the young woman put down her gun with a nonchalant expression and replied; "Hmm...... I've heard of Bian Family Farm, what do you want to know? ”

"Ahem...... I'm fine. Bian Chunsong coughed dryly twice and replied slightly embarrassed.

He has grown so big, and he has never seen such a strong woman, and his good marksmanship is really a rabbit, which is completely incompatible with her delicate and intellectual style.

Originally, I thought that this delicate woman was taking advantage of the hunt to go out to relax, and she belonged to soy sauce. I didn't expect it to be a master of playing with guns.

There are a lot of cowboys with good marksmanship, but not everyone can shoot a hare scurrying around, he feels that he can't be provoked, and he has a retreat in his heart.

Bian Chunsong replied like this, but the young woman looked at him carefully, and said with a slight frown; "There is a big boy in Bian Family Farm who is studying at Red River Valley University, can't it be you?"

"It's just that you dare to ask the girl how she knows?"

"No......," said the young woman, with her chin raised, with a teasing smile; Captain Bian of our hunting team bragged in the town tavern for three days, saying how his eldest son was motivated and studious, he was really one in a million Wenqu stars, and in the past few years, there are almost no people in He family town who don't know, I know it's strange? ”

"This ...... Let the girl smile. Bian Chunsong felt his face flush.

He also knew about this, Abba was so proud of it, he hung Bian Chunsong on his lips wherever he went, and the ears of those old guys were calloused, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

With Queensland's population of tens of millions today, coupled with millions of people in overseas territories, the proportion of young adults has almost reached more than 9 percent, and the top Red River Valley University enrolls only two or three thousand students every year, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a million.

Bian Chunsong's ancestral hometown is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the mainland, where the style of writing has always been prosperous, there are many people who know how to read and break words, and there are always one or two people who can recognize words on the street, which is already very remarkable in today's era.

Comparatively

Immigrants in the north and inland areas are so illiterate that nine out of ten cannot read, and this is the disparity.

Therefore, in Bian Shoutian's heart, he was extremely satisfied with this son of the glorious lintel, and he showed off all day long, there is no imperial examination in Queensland, and it is almost a show of talent to be able to go to the top Red River Valley University, which is not an exaggeration.

"It's not funny, there are only a few people around Hejiazhen who can go to Red River Valley University, local students have to compete with outstanding students from the Young Eagle School, it is really not easy to enter Red River Valley University for further study, and Bian Gongzi is also a leader." The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, and said heartily; "Oh...... By the way, let's get to know, I'm He Pannan. ”

He Pannan?

Bian Chunsong's heart flashed with this name, and he was immediately shocked;

Isn't this the second daughter of Sir Ho's (Major General Ho Fang)'s family?

The biggest open secret of He Jiazhen is not that Bian Chunsong was admitted to Red River Valley University, nor is it any other news, but Sir He has been begging for a man for many years but has not been able to do so, this is almost an open secret, no one knows, no one knows.

In terms of age, Sir He is already in his forties, and he is almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but Mrs. Zhengfang gave birth to 4 daughters in a row, which makes Sir He, who is serious in Confucianism, sleepless day and night, and feels ashamed of his ancestors.

There are three so-called unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.

Although several side houses gave birth to two sons, Sir He was still deeply dissatisfied, he thought that it would be difficult for his sons to inherit the title and incense of the He family, and they would be looked down upon in the upper class society.

Therefore, Sir Ho is bent on having a son. His eldest daughter is called He Bingxin, which means that her heart is cold, and she feels that she has given birth to a money-losing product.

The second daughter is called He Pannan, the third daughter is called He Qiunan, and the fourth daughter is called He Liannan, which means pity and pity the He family, let's have a boy.

It wasn't until three years ago that Mrs. Zhengwu finally gave birth to a son, which made Sir Ho very happy.

Specially rushed back from Borneo to celebrate the 100th birthday of this precious son, named He Tianbao, which means that the treasure given by God, finally fulfilled a big heart disease, and explained to the ancestors and family.

Sir Ho feasted guests in the Red River Valley City, invited guests and friends, and the Earl was personally present to congratulate him, and a group of bigwigs came to cheer the party, which is really needless to say.

So Sir He's eldest daughter He Bingxin is 23 years old, his sons are all 5 years old, and his younger brother He Tianbao is only three years old.

These thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant, and Bian Chunsong clasped his fists on the horse and saluted; "Oh...... It turned out to be the second lady of the lord's mansion in person, please forgive Chunsong for not knowing. ”

"No need to be polite." He Pannan stretched out his slender jade hand and waved it, and then he didn't know what he thought, his expression was gloomy, and he had no intention of talking more, and rode forward silently.

The speed of the team hunting hares does not need to be fast, and the main thing is to ensure a tight and complete queue, all the way to the net to drive through.

The cowboys, all of whom were very experienced, rode their horses slowly, and when they passed through a hilly bush, a large herd of sheepdogs and greyhounds was released, which alarmed the hare nests, and hundreds of hares scurried all over the mountains like nests, and for a time there was a burst of gunfire.

Bian Chunsong had the opportunity to show off his marksmanship, and he ......fired seven or eight shots in a row, but he didn't catch a single rabbit hair, which made him blush.

On the other hand, He Pannan next to him, the Winchester lever rifle in his hand seemed to be like a divine help, and the gunfire of the rabbit fell by name, as if all the wordless depression in his heart was vented on the hare, and none of them failed.

Such a woman really makes men ashamed!
