Chapter 68 Farewell Gift

It was not as bloody as imagined. The bullet hit a deer in the abdomen. The deer jumped up in panic, but lost its strength mid-air and fell violently to the ground on the grass, splashing some mud.

After falling to the ground, its legs struggled a few times, and then it became completely motionless.

Another deer was shot in the neck and fell down as soon as it raised its legs. It tried to raise its head, and Zhang Wei could see its antlers moving a few times, but it also lost its life.

Zhang Wei's fear of guns has a long history. Her aversion to hunting is not only due to her disgust for blood, but more to her fear of this tool that can take away lives at will.

Call her timid or cowardly, she couldn't help but worry at the thought of having to continue living in a country like Country A where guns are rampant for a long time.

That's why she was so persistent in wanting to make her physique stronger, even though the human body never had much chance of winning against weapons.

This also made Zhang Wei determined to gradually increase her training volume. No matter what her ideal goals are, people have to live to have infinite possibilities.

On the way back, because there were too many prey, the hunting ground owner drove his farm vehicle to take them back to the castle.

Zhang Wei and Namier sat in the bed of the pickup truck with their prey. It was hard not to wonder if this was intentional on Venus' part, as she followed behind on horseback.

As the car shook, blood flowed to their feet, and Namir immediately retracted his feet.

No matter how much he wanted to go hunting, normal people have a fear of death. He leaned against Zhang Wei tightly, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the corpses of the prey.

"Do they feel anything when they die?" Namir couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, otherwise why would they run away?"

"Maybe we shouldn't do this?"

After hearing Namier's question, Zhang Wei was also a little confused. Should I talk about others and nature or talk to him about the survival of the fittest?

According to her own thinking, it may be rather selfish. People should have compassion, but they should put their own interests first.

Because Zhang Wei always felt that loving oneself is the greatest compassion.

So she could only try to be objective and say, "Over-reproduction of wild animals is also very harmful, just like the rabbits in our backyard. If we don't take measures, they will probably dig down the castle in a few years."

"So you were right to suggest eating rabbit before. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you."

Zhang Wei didn't expect that he still remembered this, after all, his memory was intermittent.

Zhang Wei shook his head: "It's okay, you weren't angry later."

"What about it? What's the harm?" He pointed at the deer with his foot.

"It's not harmful, it just has value in itself, and humans covet its value. It has no ability to protect itself and can only become prey."

Zhang Wei didn't know whether Namier could understand, but the law of the jungle was not only the rule in the animal kingdom, but also in human society.

After returning, Zhang Wei thought that Namir would feel a little uncomfortable, but she underestimated his adaptability. As soon as he got off the car, he excitedly told Emma about Venus's hunting results.

Well, it seems like she is the most psychologically fragile in the family...

But it didn't prevent her from drinking delicious grouse soup and eating fresh roasted venison in the evening.

Venison looks a bit like beef, but it is much more tender than beef, easy to chew, and has a hint of sweetness. It tastes delicious even with just salt. It's a pity that you can't eat too much at one time.

Of course, it is not easy to finish such a large amount of prey, especially the hare. The Wilson family should be tired of it.

Zhang Wei saw Venus peeling and cutting the skin herself, saying she was going to send it to a friend. Her technique was very skillful and looked a little dangerous.

After Zhang Wei vaguely felt a little strength in his arms, it was time for them to return to New York City.

Before this, the whole family held a farewell party for Manny, because this time Manny would not go back to Country A with them, and he would soon start a 5-year boarding life.

The adults all gave him gifts. Zhang Wei had never expected this. Namir felt a little helpless looking at her.

Zhang Wei discovered that since this summer, as they spent more and more time together, Namir was unconsciously influenced by her, and he would try to ask her for help with some things, just like now.

Then she couldn't let him down, so she said to Manny: "Namir and I also have a gift for you, wait a moment!"

Then he pulled Namir upstairs.

"Hey! Vera, you lied again!" Namir ran upstairs with her quickly, still condemning her.

Zhang Wei retorted, "Do you want to see Manny sad? Knowing that we didn't prepare a gift for him? Then why did you come upstairs with me?"

Zhang Wei is not so polite to him now and is happy to break some of his little principles.

"Okay! You have a way, right?" Namir compromised and looked at her eagerly.

"Then let's go to your room first and see what you have!" Zhang Wei decided to show mercy and help Namier find it first.

This was the first time Zhang Wei took a close look at Namier's room. Betty would often come to clean it, so it looked quite tidy.

There were mostly toys. I didn't expect him to bring so many toys. There were also some strange-shaped stones and the game console that Leida gave him. It seemed that there was really nothing suitable as a gift.

Wait, Zhang Wei took out a photo from the bottom of a toy box.

"What's this?"

When Zhang Wei took it out, she found herself in the photo. She was squatting and looking at Manny's rabbit-catching device with a serious look on her face.

It turned out to be the scene of their rabbit catching competition last year, but she didn't remember taking any photos at all.

"Leida filmed himself developing it. He wanted to give everyone a surprise, but he said it wasn't developed properly. I saw it, so he gave it to me."

Namir explained.

Zhang Wei saw that the colors were indeed a bit distorted and overexposed, but the scene was captured well. The Wilsons were chatting sideways, Manny was concentrating on sorting the rope in his hand, Namir was still guarding his only rabbit, and Leda had half of his face sticking out, and his smiling eyes could be seen.

"Just give this as a gift, Manny will like it." Zhang Wei suggested.

"This is Leida's, not mine!" Namir's little principle came again.

"He already gave it to you, didn't he? And don't you think Manny would like to see pictures of his family when he's alone at school?"

Namir seemed to be convinced by her reasoning again: "Well, I hope he likes it."

Then Zhang Wei went to her room to look for a gift. Actually, she only had the gold pen to give as a gift, but she was a little reluctant to give it away...

She took out the gold pen, touched it, and was about to give it away.

Namier's words were like heavenly music: "Are you going to give him the pen? Manny doesn't like using pens!"
