Chapter 65 Hunting Scouting
Fortunately, she discovered it early, and she was not as casual and intimate with Paris and Dora as she was with Namir, so she did not show it.
She still likes Paris and Dora very much, and hopes to maintain a good relationship with these two only friends. Zhang Wei is not willing to do everything alone.
Although she is an adult mentally, she will have to interact with people her own age for many years of her life, and it would not be wise to separate herself from them.
Humans are social animals. If you isolate yourself, over time you will lose the joy of participating in most things in this world.
Just like now, she was filling in the diary for the day of the banquet, and Namier called out from outside the door:
"Vera! Why can't you finish your homework?"
"Venus is taking us out to play, come out quickly!"
Zhang Wei wrote furiously: "Okay, wait ten minutes, I'll be right out!"
Staying in the castle for too long can get a bit boring.
Namier always finds ways to amuse himself, and recently he's been haunting Venus.
Zhang Wei quickly changed out of her home skirt and put on small boots and a top and pants. When going out to play, she needed to wear something convenient. The main reason was that she had too many skirts. Or, she told Emma that she was exercising more now and needed more clothes that were convenient for movement, so a few pairs of pants appeared in her closet.
After going out, he found that Venus was already waiting at the door. She was riding the big white horse that Emma had ridden before, wearing long boots, a plaid shirt and a cowboy hat. Zhang Wei instantly felt that this was not the British countryside, but the American West.
What surprised her even more was that Namiel was riding on the same horse with Venus, and he was very excited and kept urging her:
"Hurry up, Vera, we have to go there quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Zhang Wei looked at the two people already on the horse, then looked at her feet. Should she let her run after them?
Before she could figure it out, Venus drove the horse forward a few steps. When Zhang Wei was about to retreat, Venus grabbed her by the collar and lifted her onto the horse.
Zhang Wei was used to being carried by her, so she was not afraid at all. She sat in front of Namir immediately. She had no foothold in front of her and almost hugged the horse's neck.
Fortunately, Venus was a skilled worker. She held the reins in front of Zhang Wei with both hands, just enough to encircle her, making her look much more secure.
But her hands were not fixed, so Zhang Wei could only grab the saddle and yell:
"Hold tight, Namir!"
Namir held her tightly as he obeyed, and she felt safe from falling off the horse.
Venus rode very fast. Zhang Wei didn't know where they were going. Her voice was half swallowed by the wind:
"Where...are we going...ah..."
"Pfft...Pfft...your hair...is in my...mouth...Pfft"
Zhang Wei closed her mouth instantly. Her hair was indeed a little long, but it wasn't too hot here, so she was too lazy to tie it up.
After running for more than ten or twenty minutes, Venus finally stopped at the gate of an unfamiliar manor.
Zhang Wei's hands were red from scratching, and Namir started spitting as soon as he got off the horse.
Zhang Wei: That’s not necessary. I just washed my hair this morning…
Venus shouted, and a man came out and led her to park the horse.
Zhang Weicai asked quietly, "What on earth are we doing here?"
"Didn't we say we were going hunting? Let's look at the hunting grounds first," Namir said as a matter of course.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Zhang Wei would have almost forgotten about it. However, she still had a question for Namier:
"Don't you hate riding? Why are you willing to do it this time?"
In Zhang Wei's impression, Namier had never ridden a horse. She had never understood why he disliked riding horses so much, so she decided to ask him.
"I just don't like the feeling of riding a horse by myself, um," he thought for a moment and described:
"The horse was very strong and I was very small. I felt I couldn't control it. Once I got on it, I was afraid it would throw me off."
"So if Venus is controlling the horse, you don't have to worry about the horse being disobedient, right?"
After Zhang Wei asked the question, Namir nodded.
"I see. But you went to see Shana when she was little. She wasn't that big then, and she had a very gentle personality."
Shana was truly the most docile pony Zhang Wei had ever seen, and she felt no pressure at all riding her.
"When I went to see Shana, I saw a man fell off his horse and was trampled by the horse. He was in pain." Namir recalled with a frown.
Zhang Wei was even more surprised: "You still remember? That was a long time ago!"
Namir nodded: "I remember it."
What's wrong with his memory? Sometimes he can remember things, and sometimes he can't. I really can't figure out the pattern.
It turns out he has a psychological trauma, no wonder he refuses to ride a horse.
"Venus said that when I have the strength to control a horse soon, I will no longer hate riding horses." Namir said this with sparkling eyes.
"Isn't it okay not to ride?" Zhang Wei wondered.
"That won't work! Once I turn twelve, I can participate in hunting season!"
At the age of twelve, trying to control a horse, Zhang Wei wanted to say: Young people really have great ambitions.
There is another problem. Zhang Wei seems to have never heard of legal hunting in the UK in his previous life. It is not certain whether it will be cancelled. It is also unknown whether Namir can wait until he can hunt in person.
The owner of the hunting ground in front was introducing Venus:
"Ma'am, it is absolutely most appropriate for you to come to the hunting grounds of my estate. There is no other hunting grounds nearby that are suitable for a small group of people."
Zhang Wei: This is the smallest hunting ground nearby.
"Our area is the hunting ground with the richest animals. The surrounding hunting grounds have been fully booked long ago, and we are the only one with vacancies."
Zhang Wei: He’s the only one that no one comes to.
"Look, from the woods over there to the small river in the east, the large area in between is my hunting ground." After saying this, he handed the telescope to Venus.
Zhang Wei saw the woods with yellow leaves, but did not see the river. However, it looked like I was only slightly larger than the manor outside Aunt Mary's castle.
There are some taller bushes and trees, which look like there are animals.
"Have you seen the rabbits and pheasants? I promise that the number of these two animals will not disappoint you!" The owner of the hunting ground assured, almost patting his chest.
"Didn't you say there were foxes and deer in your hunting grounds?" Venus asked.
The hunting ground owner smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, there are, but I can't guarantee there will be foxes and deer on hunting day. You know, if I could guarantee there would be foxes and deer, I would have booked the hunting ground long ago."
"How do you say that?"
"On the other side of the stream is the largest private hunting ground in the entire north. It's very well maintained, with countless foxes and deer. Occasionally, they might cross the stream and come here."
"However," the owner of the hunting ground tempted, "every year deer are driven here by the large hunting teams next door. Are you sure you don't want to try your luck?"
