Chapter 67 Hunting Day

On August 12, Namier was extremely excited. He got up before Zhang Wei's morning reading and completed the morning training in high spirits.

By the way, Zhang Wei can finally hold the horizontal bar for ten seconds. It seems that there is no sport that cannot be improved through practice.

This time Zhang Wei wore riding clothes. Although she didn't need to go hunting, riding clothes were still more neat. Namier didn't wear riding clothes, but he also wore leather boots and hung all the telescopes in the house on his body.

"Whoa! Let's go, Mom! Wait until we come back with our kill!"

He said goodbye to Emma confidently.

"Okay, have fun, Venus, and good luck!"

"Goodbye, Mom!"

This made Zhang Wei a little nervous and excited. This time was different from going to Yellowstone Park to see wild animals. Hunting wild animals, and not knowing if there were any dangerous animals. If there were wild boars or something, it would probably be quite dangerous...

This time when Zhang Wei arrived at the small hunting ground, he thought there would be other hunters, but it turned out that there was only Venus. He was wrong, there were two people, and the other one was the owner of the hunting ground himself.

Zhang Wei seriously suspected that the owner of the hunting ground just wanted to find a companion, because they had encountered several hunting teams on the way.

Moreover, the teams were quite large. In addition to the hunters wearing neat hunting jackets and typical British riding posture, what was even more eye-catching was the groups of foxhounds following them.

Zhang Wei suspected that they didn't even need to hunt, but instead sent hunting dogs to bite the prey to death. After all, ants can kill elephants in large numbers.

Because Zhang Wei always thought that the British riding posture he learned at the horse farm was specifically for equestrian performances because it was too formal.

The horse riding Zhang Wei learned was not the way she thought she would ride at tourist attractions. It was more tiring, especially the half-saddle position that made the horse trot, with the buttocks out of the saddle and relying on the feet to exert force in the stirrups to maintain balance.

If I had to find an appropriate description for it, it would be like walking on tiptoe.

So Zhang Wei always thought that this way of riding was purely for performance.

But when the hunting teams just now passed by, the hunters stood up straight, wearing uniform clothes, riding their horses with beautiful posture and trotting proudly, followed by a large group of foxhounds, looking a bit like British aristocrats traveling.

Venus's riding was different. She rode like the Mongols that Zhang Wei had seen, freely and casually, with the horse's hooves galloping away.

So Zhang Wei thought that the reason they brought so many foxhounds was probably because they were afraid that they could not outrun the hares and grouse.

Venus teased, "Hey! No wonder your brothers don't want to go. They don't look like they're going hunting, but more like they're going to a performance."

The owner of the hunting ground found a good viewing spot for Zhang Wei and his friends in the attic of his house, and also left his own shepherd to accompany them.

Zhang Wei raised the telescope and looked, it was quite clear. This time Zhang Wei finally saw the small river that the hunting ground owner had mentioned before.

Perhaps because of the distance, in Zhang Wei's eyes, it was just a ditch. No wonder he said that prey would run out from next door.

While looking at the ditch, Zhang Wei had already heard the gunshots, accompanied by Namir's exclamation:

"It's a pheasant! Vera, Venus shot down a pheasant with one shot!"

Zhang Wei was not surprised at all. For example, she could kill a bear with one shot, let alone a pheasant.

But she thought about how Namier was angry for a long time last year because she suggested eating rabbit, but now he was so excited about hunting. She didn't know if she could say that this was the child's growth.

Zhang Wei felt okay now. She was too far away to catch any details of the prey being shot to death, so she didn't feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Wei also saw the performance of the hunting ground owner's foxhounds. They were quite useful and quickly drove grouse and hares out of the grass.

The hunting ground owner's skills were poor, and he only hit one target every two or three shots on average. Moreover, there must be many people hunting nearby, so she couldn't tell whether the shots were taken by Venus and her friends or by other people nearby.

Looking from the attic, it seems that this hunting ground is really small. It would probably take Venus half an hour to drive her horse around for one round.

When Zhang Wei saw that Venus's horse's pockets were already full and thought that the hunt was almost over, there was movement on the other side of the stream.

"Namir, look, there's a deer!"

Zhang Wei was a little excited. He didn't expect to actually run into them.

Apparently Venus and the others also noticed it, and immediately pointed their guns in that direction.

But Venus quickly put down her gun again, not knowing what the game master said to her.

As a result, Zhang Wei saw a large group of foxhounds, lined up in a long line just opposite the ditch, with dozens of them.

The two deer did not move at this time. They were in a dilemma. Behind them were the foxhounds and a large number of hunters who had not arrived yet, and in front of them were Venus and the others.

After a stalemate of about one or two minutes, someone arrived from the other side of the ditch. Zhang Wei saw a familiar face, the annoying young men from Beatrice Castle.

It turns out that the hunting ground they chose is right next door, but who do the two deer belong to?

Zhang Wei didn't think Venus would give in. The two sides probably talked for a while, and then Zhang Wei saw Venus and the hunting ground owner both retreated a distance.

Then Zhang Wei saw a scene that would make her laugh out loud whenever she recalled it:

Rogers drove his horse back a few steps and tried to cross the small ditch. Then Zhang Wei saw Rogers, with his usual arrogant expression, fall into the ditch along with his big white horse...

"Hahahaha!" She actually laughed out loud. There was nothing more joyful than seeing someone you hate get into trouble.

"Venus will definitely be able to jump over it. He is so useless!" said Venus's number one fan.

As a result, Rogers struggled awkwardly in the water, and only stood up from the ditch when the horse climbed out.

Zhang Wei could still roughly see his expression through the telescope, and one could imagine how embarrassed he was.

It seems that his brothers and cronies have no sense of loyalty, and no one has dismounted to help him.

It seems that Venus and the others asked Rogers and his men to cross the ditch before letting them hunt the deer.

Yes, here, the prey belongs to whoever's territory it is in. The reason why the hunting ground owners agreed to let them cross the ditch to hunt is probably because they saw that this group of people was too big and they were afraid to offend them.

As a result, Rogers failed to cross the ditch for the first time, which actually stopped his companions.

After all, we are all young people, and no one wants to fall into the ditch and become the topic of conversation for others.

As a result, dozens of people were stopped by this small ditch and retreated.

By observing the length of the horse and the width of the ditch, Zhang Wei felt that the ditch could not be more than two meters wide, because the horse could stand up and step ashore with one foot.

They are really a bunch of genuine silver-plated gun tips, all just for show.

"Bang" "Bang"

Caught off guard, two deer were shot dead right before Zhang Wei's eyes...
