Chapter 114: Going to Houston (9/10 Asking for Subscription)

In the evening, Abel was in high spirits with John Jr. and the others.

Set off together to meet up with the rest of the farmer's people, as well as specially hired professional hunters.

The meeting point is about twenty miles or so from Smith Farm.

It is said that the wolf pack, where the last time it was seen by witnesses, was there.

Smith Farm, originally planned to send four people to do it.

Little John and his son, plus two other cowboys with better marksmanship.

Abel now wants to go and see the scene together, and there are more people going to Smith Farm.

became Little John's father and son, plus Abel, and Abel's four personal bodyguards.

A total of seven people, driving in three vehicles with an unknown number of weapons, went to the rendezvous site.

In addition, he brought four dogs, two Rottweilers, and two Irish wolfhounds.

Rottweilers are guard dogs and are not very good at tracking their prey.

The Irish Wolfhound is a good wolf hunter and can't beat a Mexican wolf one-on-one.

But two can beat a Mexican wolf in a pack and drag it until the owner appears.

Well, you can't beat the larger Mexican wolves.

Except for a very few oversized individuals, there is no dog that can compete with the North American gray wolf subspecies Mexican wolf.

In this subspecies of gray wolf, adult male wolves can weigh more than 80 kilograms, and the head wolf is generally more than 90 kilograms.

Individual instances have even been recorded with 100 kilograms.

The weight of an adult Caucasian male dog is about 70 kilograms.

Tibetan mastiffs are around 65-70.

In the animal kingdom, a big body is a dick.

What's more, people still work in groups, and they are very smart and can work as a team.

If you don't rely on your owner, it is estimated that more than one or two hundred large hunting dogs will be needed to threaten a Mexican wolf pack.

The main reason for bringing dogs over is to use their sense of smell and keen hunting instincts to help spot wolves.

In the end, it's the humans who do it, and they only play a supporting role.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the group drove off.

Abel's car was driven by Edward, a local who knew the road.

John IV, the son of John Jr., was also on this side, as were two other Rottweilers.

Rottweilers and Abel sat in the back compartment together, and the two Rottweilers were old dogs.

They were all fed by Abel when they were young, and remember this owner.

They looked very excited when they found Abel in the carriage.

"Haha~ Don't lick it, don't lick it. Danny, stop, no, shut up! And Lowe, you too!! ”

The two dogs were so enthusiastic that Able eventually had to use the slogan Alexander had tweaked them.

This calmed them down, and they obediently lay on their seats, leaning on him left and right.

Both dogs are very clean, and Abel used to bathe them every two to three days when he was at home.

Abel and Alexander are not at home now, so it becomes Emily who bathes them.

Today it just so happens that they have all been bathed, and they have all been sprayed with veterinary perfume, and they don't smell like dogs.

Holding a Rottweiler in one hand, Abel said casually:

"That's right, IV. What happened to that old Depp last time? ”

Abel still remembers the last time he came back, a small accident that happened halfway and was not an accident.

It was up to John IV to deal with it.

He thought about it now, so he asked.

A few days later, John IV still had that somewhat silly voice.

"After you left, the police came. In the end, I lost $50 to Depp, and he left happily. ”

Abel was not surprised by this result.

On the Texas side due to the strong folk sentiments.

Small traffic accidents like this, or small conflicts.

The police in Texas, as long as they are not too excessive, can choose to be private if they can.

Because of this place, there are too many red necks at the bottom.

is poor and bad-tempered, and the key is that there is no culture.

Sometimes when the brain is hot, revenge can be done afterwards.

The key is not to ban guns, and not to break the law by taking guns to the streets.

For this reason, the police in Texas are friendlier than in other regions.

After a few more conversations with John IV, the rendezvous for the hunt arrived.

By the time they arrived, a large number of people had already come.

Twenty or thirty cars, forty or fifty people, dozens of dogs, and even two police cars and some Texas cops.

It's normal to have a police officer.

Otherwise, it was so late, so many people were holding guns and still driving cars.

Those who know, know that they are going to hunt wolves.

People who don't know probably think it will be a government. Change.

With the police accompanied, the situation is different.

And you can also supervise and monitor a little, so that these people don't shoot and kill indiscriminately.

After waiting for about half an hour, everyone arrived.

There are a total of 15 farms in the vicinity, and 55 cowboys with good marksmanship.

Plus the five professional hunters who were invited, and the dogs that everyone brought over.

Added up, more than thirty cars were driven, and they set off under the guidance of professional hounds and hunters.

However, wolf hunting is not so simple, and sometimes it is also about luck.

One night, a few hours down.

Didn't find the Druid Peak wolf pack that was on the news.

Only two other small packs and some coyotes were found.

These unlucky eggs have become substitutes for the dead.

With the firepower to fight a small battle, they naturally rushed into the streets.

At three o'clock in the second half of the night, the hunt had to be stopped.

Because I looked for it again and chased it, I went to the next county.

That's not to go, and unless there's advance notice, it's considered some kind of invasion.

You might even eat the guns of the cops next door.

Thus the hunt came to an end.

Everyone goes back to their respective homes, those who have wives go home to hug their wives, and those who don't have wives go home and hug themselves.

A few people on Smith Farm, John Jr. and his son did not harvest, and the biggest harvest was Abel.

Alone, he killed two Mexican wolves and three coyotes.

Is Abel's marksmanship good?

No, it's he who has the ability to make money.

These unlucky ghosts were broken legs or their mobility was interrupted by the marksmanship of several sharpshooter bodyguards.

Then Abel followed the hound to mend the gun and take down the prey.

Therefore, the marksmanship is good, the skills are strong, and the super soldier king or something is false.

No matter how strong you are, can you be like Superman?

No? That is not as strong as a capitalist who has the ability to make money!

Stronger than Superman, it's not the same as often being deflated at the hands of the capitalist Baxterman.

By the time everyone returned to Smith Farm, it was all dawn.

Abel didn't bother his parents, he found something to eat casually, and went to bed directly after eating.

By the time he woke up, it was noon, and Alexander had left to continue his great work at Fort Worth.

Abel, on the other hand, had a meal with Emily and coaxed his mother for a while.

In the afternoon, his convoy left Smith Farm.

The goal is Houston.

Houston is in Harris County, Texas, which is the third-largest county in the United States.

At the same time, this city is also the first city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States.

It's about 270 miles from Smith Farm.

This distance is to go to Fort Worth Dallas Airport, which is a direct flight to one of Houston's three airports.

But on a whim, he wanted to see the Texas landscape along the way.

Abel calculated the distance, and it took about four hours to drive.

If you are able to arrive before dark, you can take the bus and set off.

There are seven cars in total, including Abel and David Jones, as well as a team of bodyguards.

A convoy of 21 people drove for more than four hours.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived in the largest city in Texas.

It is the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast, and the city is named after Sam Houston, the then Commander of the Republic of Texas.

Houston is world-famous for its energy (especially oil), aviation industry, and canals.

The Port of Houston is also the sixth largest port in the world and the busiest port in the United States, with the largest tonnage of foreign ships and the second largest port regardless of nationality.

The Fortune 500 headquarters is second only to New York City, which shows the strength of Texas.

Upon arrival, Abel directed the convoy to the Oak River neighborhood in downtown Houston.

His grandfather, Alex Smith, and grandmother, Arya Smith, lived here.

This neighborhood is a high-end neighborhood in Houston and is surrounded by small downtown villas.

When the convoy arrives,

It was already half past five in the afternoon.

When Abel's motorcade stopped near the door, Alex's bodyguards were taken aback.

Abel asks Edward to come over to negotiate, and soon Alex's bodyguard confirms that Abel is here.

After making sure it was safe, Abel got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, he shouted as he walked inside:

"Dear Alex and Arya, my dear grandpa and grandma, your grandson is here!!"

With such a big movement at the door, Alex and Arya, of course, had already received a report from the bodyguards.

The old couple walked out with a smile on their faces.

When they came out, they saw Able walking into the courtyard.

"Oh, here comes the little bastard. I hope you don't cut down your grandfather's tree this time! Alex said happily.

"Haha~" Arya was also happy to see her grandson arrive. "Ark, don't talk about it all the time. Abel was still young at the time, and the story was still yours. ”

The old couple was talking about when Abel was about ten years old.

Alexander's family came here to spend Christmas with his old father and mother.

On Christmas Eve, Alex, who was happy, told his grandson the story of the falling cherry blossom axe.

At that time, Abel took it seriously, and ran up in the middle of the night to cut down trees.

As a result, he couldn't find a cherry tree, so he picked a random one in the courtyard and cut it down.

The next day, Alex and his wife saw their baby grandson pulling them to see a small gardening oak tree that had been pulled into the living room.

God, that's the dwarf oak that Alex bought for $4,000

What can Alex do?

Forgive Abel, of course.

It's just that this incident has often been used by old guys to make fun of his grandson since then.

In the face of Alex's ridicule, Abel responded with a smile:

"Ha~ I heard from my mother, grandpa, you planted a lot of black walnut trees. Since you say so, I'll see if they can hold my Falling Sakura God Axe. ”

Alex suddenly changed color, which he had spent tens of thousands of dollars on last year.

A few specially selected black walnut trees are in good condition, horticultural grade.

It has been planted for almost a year and looks very beautiful in the courtyard.

The old man usually likes to drink tea and read books below, but he can't let Abel cut it.

Alex hurriedly diverted the topic: "Ahem~ Okay, don't mention these troubles when you were a child, come in." Also, Anthony, go and help Abel's attachΓ© arrange a place to park and rest. ”

In the latter sentence, Alex said it to his own bodyguard.

Anthony, the bodyguard whom Abel also knew, smiled and nodded and walked back.

Able gestured to Edward and told him to do so.

Abel himself, with his grandparents, went into the house.

The house was built in 1947.

It was built by Alexander's grandfather, when Alex decided to retire at the age of 60.

The old couple came to live here.

They occasionally go to Dallas for a while, but at least three-quarters of the year they live here.

This is also the best house in town for the Smith family.

Abel remembers that the house was about 30,000 square feet.

The floor area is just over 5,000 square feet, and five-sixths of the land is courtyards, gardens, pools, and the like.

In addition, Houston has the most developed medical technology in the United States and is the world's first medical city, so it is best to retire here.

The arrival of the grandson, the old couple was obviously very happy.

When Abel came in, he already saw some of his favorite things to eat when he was a child on the table in the living room.

Don't believe in the kind of thing that Americans are going to be kicked out by their parents when they are eighteen years old.

Americans gnaw at old age just as much, and Americans dote on their children and grandchildren.

Elites, even more so.

Those who really turn 18 and have to be self-reliant are either the low-level whites in the slums.

They really can't afford to raise children, and they can't afford to support them.

Either it's Lao Mo and Lao Hei.

Lao Mo is okay, but in general, his ability is not enough, so he will ask his children to go out and fight early.

Lao Hei's words, hehe, no father is almost the common denominator of this ethnic group in the United States.

Families are incomplete, and they basically rely on their mother's part-time work or welfare subsidies for their livelihoods.

Don't you fight on your own, and plan to wait for death at home?

The Smiths are clearly in the elite, though not the most upper.

But it's not bad in Texas, and the people have always been thin.

Alex has no brothers, he has a younger sister. Alexander had no brothers, not even sisters.

Abel originally had an older brother, but he died at the age of two, and there were no other siblings in the future.

With such a single seedling, the love of the family is naturally poured into him.

may be the case, Abel's original obsession with other aspects is not deep.

But he is very stubborn about his relatives, his parents and elders.

So much so that when Abel fused with the original soul, he completely inherited this piece.

This also makes the current Abel have no problem with Alex and Alexander.

What's more, he grew up in the Celestial Empire, which is based on filial piety.

He also doesn't think it's wrong to be filial to his parents and elders, and to have a good relationship with his parents and elders.

So it was very harmonious.

He soon chatted warmly and happily with Alex and his wife, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
