That night, although Hong Tao couldn't relive the happy time with Irene a year ago, he was not idle either. Except not disturbing his aunt, he did everything he needed to do. As the saying goes, when firewood meets fire, Irene
Hong Tao didn't know whether this bundle of firewood was dry, but his own fire was indeed very strong. The two of them struggled until 2 o'clock before calling it quits. When a fierce knock on the door rang, Hong Tao felt as if he had just closed his eyes.
Whether they are fishing or hunting, they usually wake up at midnight. The early bird gets food. When Hong Tao and Irene finished washing and went downstairs with their backpacks on their backs, they discovered that they were not the only ones who got up early.
This wave of birds, that boss Liu and him
Their daughters were also standing in the foyer packing their equipment. Boss Liu had changed out of his fur coat and leather shoes and was wearing a gray winter suit, high-waisted snow boots and a woolen hat. However, their beautiful daughter had not changed much.
Same as yesterday.
There were three pickup trucks parked outside the house, all of which had been replaced with snow tracks. Two of them belonged to Pavey and Harrison, and the remaining one probably belonged to the Ignatius family. In the compartment of each vehicle
They were all fully loaded, and there was a trailer behind them, which contained a snowmobile and some equipment.
Hong Tao was still in the same car with Irene and Old Gale, but the vehicle was changed to the unfamiliar car, and the driver was changed to Austin; Pawei's car was changed to Harrison driving, Pawei, Kai
Ty and Jim were sitting in the car; in Harrison's car were the family and Ignatius, exactly 11 people divided into three cars.
With a loud car horn blaring across the early morning in the bear's territory, the hunting activity finally kicked off. Hong Tao's car, as the pioneer, took the lead and rushed into the vast snowfield.
It was just 5 o'clock at this time, and the sky was not fully dark yet. The snow was still falling, but the snowflakes were not as heavy as last night, but they still affected visibility. Austin had to turn on a row of spotlights on the roof of the car.
Only then could he barely see the snow dozens of meters ahead.
The convoy did not drive along the road at all. In fact, there was no road in the first place. The Big Bear Territory itself is a ranch, and there is only one road leading to Huntsville. But hunting must go to the forest and mountains, so the only choice is to go directly through the ranch.
The forest to the east is the reason why all three vehicles are equipped with snow tracks. Ordinary tires cannot drive on such thick snow.
The visibility outside was not high. If you wanted to enjoy the scenery, you had to wait until it was completely bright. Hong Tao had nothing to do, so he and Irene took the thin hunting manual given by Austin and read it after dinner yesterday.
, he and sister Eileen, Jim and the father and daughter have already
After passing the written test for the hunting license through the computer, I still have to take a practical test. The test content is basically in this 9-page manual, which is basically about the safe use of firearms. Austin
Don't worry, it's not too late to wait until you get to the camp to take the exam.
It was Hong Tao's first time to ride this kind of car with snow tracks. The last time he rode Pavey's track car in Lake Simcoe, it basically drove on the ice, and only two rear wheels were changed, so he basically couldn't feel it.
What's the difference? But now that the car is equipped with four snow tracks, it feels completely different when walking on a snowy field with no roads.
The biggest difference is the bumps, especially bumps. The tracks are not as elastic as tires, so no matter what bumps are on the ground, they will be transmitted to the vehicle's shock absorber system faithfully. And the shock absorbers of these pickup trucks are biased.
It was hard, and the ground was too off-road. Hong Tao and Irene were sitting in the back seat. Let alone reading, they were doing their best to keep their heads from touching each other.
After crawling for about 20 minutes, Ignatius's voice came from the car radio, which probably meant that he wanted to take a rest. Because his accent was very unique, not only Hong Tao, but also Irene couldn't hear him clearly.
What exactly did you say.
"You've just been walking for a while and you're taking a rest?" When Austin got off the car and went to the back to inquire about the situation, Hong Tao asked Old Gale what was going on.
"Your lover is a little carsick, and Austin has gone to see what's going on." Old Gale's mouth became more and more like Hong Tao's, and he didn't speak well at all.
"We hunt with them!" Only then did Hong Tao finally realize what Pawei meant by what he said last night.
"No way, the snow is so heavy that the helicopter can't take off. They were originally going to go hunting by helicopter, but now they can only come with us. Not only do they have to hunt together, but they also have to live together, eat together, and live together for several days. This
It is an opportunity created by God for you, you must seize it." Old Gale roughly explained the reasons to Hong Tao. In fact, these things were mentioned once at the dinner table last night, but at that time Hong Tao was in his short adolescence.
I didn't hear anything.
"But it's possible that you don't have to be sure. I happened to sleep next to you yesterday, and you seem to like our American girl better." Old Gale added when he saw Hong Tao in a daze.
"I must have a good reaction with your daughter-in-law. Don't send Bloom to live with you again. You will teach the children bad things." Hong Tao didn't hold back at all about this veteran scoundrel's unrestrained words.
, he can only try to choose his grandson, whom he values more, as his weakness.
"You see that Irene doesn't object to it, don't you like her?" Old Gale was not moved by Hong Tao's threat at all and continued to make fun of the two of them. The most hateful thing was that Irene next to him not only refused to help Hong Tao deal with it,
This old man was flirting with him in a lively manner. If this were in China, Irene would be a standard 250-year-old, and Old Gale would be an old gangster. How could a 60-year-old man chat with a young man in his 20s at night*
* things.
At this time, Austin ran back and called Old Gale out of the car. He walked to the side and muttered, and glanced at the car from time to time. Hong Tao suddenly felt something was wrong. He couldn't hear what the two people were talking about.
What, but judging from the look on their faces when they spoke, I'm afraid it has something to do with me.
"Tao, I need your help with something, but you can choose to refuse. Are you willing to listen to me?" Old Gale talked to Austin for a while and walked out of Hong Tao's car window.
"Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help." Hong Tao thought to himself, how can I say no to help? That would be too inhumane.
"It's like this. Mr. Ignatius's English accent is relatively strong. Your compatriots can't understand it well, and Ignatius can't understand the English they speak, so there's a problem with communication. Can you see if you can
Go to their car and help translate."
"Then why don't they hire a translator? They don't need the money, right?" Hong Tao was a little confused when he heard this. If you can hire a helicopter for hunting, can't you hire a translator?
"Originally I was going to hire him, but the lady refused. She said that she had studied in the UK for more than 10 years and had no problem with her English, but now there is a problem." Old Gale was actually in a dilemma. He was the one who brought Hong Tao.
And Ignatius was found by Pawei, so it was difficult for both parties to refuse.
"But I don't understand Mr. Ignatius's English very well. Don't talk about me, Irene can't even understand it." Hong Tao's original motivation to stick to the beauty when he saw it had long since disappeared, so he just talked to
Irene said the same thing, the two sides are not of the same class, and there is nothing good about being close to each other.
"Let Harrison drive the car, and you and Harrison will be his companions. His temper is very bad, and Austin is afraid of causing misunderstandings. Harrison can be more restrained with you by his side." Old Gale and the others found out.
It had been planned a long time ago. When Hong Tao heard this, he understood in his heart that it was not just a communication problem. I am afraid that the aura of the father and daughter was too strong. This was to allow himself to be used as a shield. Alas, fate
Bitter.
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can do it. I can only try my best." Hong Tao didn't want to go, but he had already talked about it. If he didn't go, it would be unreasonable. If there was any conflict, this hunting
That's all in trouble. Hong Tao and the Ignatius family have just come into contact, and there is no relationship, but Old Gale and Pavey are really good to me, so just treat them as a favor. ps: Scheduled for March 1st
It's on the shelves, I hope everyone will give the author more support!
