Chapter 113 Wild Hunting

Li Changheng muttered in his heart, "Not only are there photos of him wearing a vest and shorts, but he was even tied to a post by several women with whips."

Moreover, in his heart, he actually admires Congressman Hayes. The future European and American politicians will do any absurd things just to show off.

This Hayes congressman is just a suit and a bow tie, and most people remember him.

Not only is the cost low, but it can also make many conservative or elderly people feel that although he is old-fashioned but reliable, he is simply a model for latecomers.

When I came to see Philip this time, I found out that these two members of the upper and lower houses were the biggest gain.

Since 1911, the rights of the House of Lords in England have been basically lost. In the future, even hereditary rights will be deprived, and it has become a place similar to a nursing home.

But why are politicians so desperate to keep undermining the rights of the nobility?

It is nothing more than that this group of people not only controls a large amount of land, but also has a much higher status than members of the House of Commons who were born as civilians.

And what worries them even more is that the House of Lords at this time is hereditary plus life tenure, while the House of Commons has to be re-elected for a five-year term.

Many people who were not selected, or even if they became the 'first item', still had to work hard for their future livelihood. If Li Changheng was in this position, he would suppress the nobles whenever he had the opportunity.

Still the same sentence, once you have mastered wealth and status, then comes influence

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had already begun to darken, and there was still a hint of cold drizzle in the sky.

For people like Anne who just joined in the fun, the hunt was over, but for those who hadn't caught their prey, of course they were unwilling to go back empty-handed and be laughed at.

Li Changheng, who spent soy sauce all the time and only focused on chatting with Annie in the afternoon, had just put his shotgun on his shoulder and was holding Annie's hand to go back when he saw more than a dozen English thoroughbred horses being led by someone.

"Annie, we are going to hunt wild deer, do you want to go together?"

Seeing Charles who was questioning, Annie couldn't help looking at Li Changheng with a questioning look.

Although he had practiced horseback riding for a few days before, Li Changheng, who could only jog at most, said to Annie with a smile, "I'm not good at equestrianism, and it's raining now, and it's winter again. You're the one who's suffering from a cold."

Seeing that Li Changheng cared about her, Annie's face brightened, but after a while she hesitated and said, "Yes, but I'm worried that after rejecting Andrew, and then rejecting Charles, he and Andrew will join forces to make things difficult for you in the future.

Moreover, Charles borrowed money before when I was in trouble."

Li Changheng smiled and shook his head, "Then let's drive there, lest my riding skills really make a fool of myself."

"En,," Annie nodded happily, not at all feeling ashamed of Li Changheng bluntly saying that he can't ride a horse.

When he took the assembled Remington M700, took his camping backpack, and drove to the mountain ridge two kilometers away, which was full of green with withered yellow weeds.

Before Annie got out of the car, she almost laughed because she saw Charles and the others rubbing their cheeks coldly when they got off the horse.

Li Changheng took out his spare vest-style down jacket from his camping backpack, "Put it on quickly, so as not to be like Charles and the others."

"Thank you", Annie nodded with a smile, put on the vest and down jacket in the rainproof windbreaker, wrapped the scarf around her neck and chin, put on the hood of the windbreaker, and immediately felt much warmer.

It didn't take long for Li Changheng to get out of the car when he thought of what Philip reminded him earlier that he would rather wear rubber rain boots than high leather riding boots to look good.

Stepping on the muddy ground of the hills, water soon seeped into the boots.

As for Charles and his group, seeing the shotgun with a scope in Li Changheng's hand, and the tightly wrapped Annie, they couldn't help showing envious expressions.

Even Charles smiled for the first time and reached out to pat Li Changheng on the arm.

"Since you carry a dedicated shotgun, finding prey makes you the first to shoot."

Li Changheng, who was not very interested in deer hunting, looked helplessly at a group of people with only shotguns.

Rather than saying that they came to hunt deer, it would be better to say that Charles and the others did not want to go home so early, and said with a smile in their hearts, "I'm not very good at marksmanship, how about I give you a gun?"

"NO, NO", Andrew immediately disagreed with a shotgun hanging on his shoulder, "Henry, let me remind you, guns and girls are never borrowed."

"Andrew, shut up."

Charles glared at his younger brother in dissatisfaction, and then saw Anne frowning in dissatisfaction, and then looked sideways at the hills under the rain curtain in the distance.

"Forget it, let's go."

Li Changheng shook his head helplessly, hung the M700 on his shoulder, took out his shotgun from the trunk of the car, and handed over a dozen rounds of stag hunting rounds to Anne.

He inspected the Colt Python under his armpit, strapped the dagger around his waist, and carried the huge backpack for camping.

Under the surprised gazes of Charles and the others, they walked ahead of Anne, took the lead down the hill, and walked towards the hills in the distance.

Andrew muttered in a low voice, "This guy is so well prepared, he must be a veteran of wild hunting, right?"

"That's normal, Andrew."

In the crowd, a young man named Jeffrey, who was scared by Li Changheng in Rome two months ago, said, "This guy is from the United States, and he has more hunting opportunities than us."

Li Changheng didn't care what Charles and his group thought, he just took Annie, who was carrying a shotgun on her shoulder, to the highest hill, and deliberately avoided the woods not far away.

It was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon at this time, and it was already a little dark due to the rain. Entering the woods at this kind of weather and time is simply asking for trouble.

After walking for five or six minutes, she was in a very good mood. Annie, who was walking behind Li Changheng and muttering to him, suddenly saw Li Changheng raised his hand, signaling to be quiet.

Annie hurriedly took the shotgun from her shoulders and squatted on the ground.

Li Changheng, who also squatted down, took out a small telescope from the pocket of the windbreaker, and looked at the mountain ridge eighty or ninety meters away.

He handed the binoculars to Annie, who had an excited expression on her face, pointed to a reddish-brown figure hiding under a rock in the distance, and said, "It should be a fox that only came out to look for food."

Foxes are semi-hibernating animals. They sleep when they have food, and come out to look for food when there is no food. Annie looked at it with a small telescope for more than ten seconds, and she was a little bit sure.

"Honey, it's best to kill the prey with one shot, and if you're not sure, get closer, or let it go."

The biggest reason why the English are opposed to fox hunting is not to use guns to hunt and kill them, but because foxes are too cunning, let alone a single shot, it is difficult to even find them.

Therefore, when hunting foxes, hunting, chasing, encircling, trapping, etc. are all done by foxhounds.

That is to say, before the fox is hunted, it will be chased by a large group of hounds, until it is exhausted, howling, and frightened, before being shot by a hunter on a horse at close range.

Some people find it inhumane, while others like this cat-and-mouse game.

The distance was less than 100 meters. Li Changheng took down the M700, opened the cover to protect the scope, and adjusted it to 8 times to clearly see the fox's chest.

He pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
