Chapter 444: You Just Want to Dance with a Foreign Woman!

North America is indeed a land of abundant resources.

At first, Liang Weiming was worried that such a large-scale hunting in the mountains would scare away the prey, but it turned out that he was worrying too much.

The birds and beasts everywhere here made Liang Weiming overwhelmed. He had never seen so many wild animals in Mulan Paddock, the royal hunting ground of the Qing Dynasty emperor.

A group of passenger pigeons flew over their heads like a huge white cloud. It is no exaggeration to describe it as covering the sky and the sun.

As the passenger pigeons flew over the heads of the people, colorful snow fell from the sky.

Soon, everyone's clothes and hats were also drenched in colorful colors by this sudden snowfall, and became smelly.

This is the feces of passenger pigeons.

A few unlucky people who looked up at the sky even caught these gifts from nature accurately with their mouths. They hurriedly lowered their heads and spit out these things together with their saliva.

Everyone aimed their guns at the "white cloud" in the sky and fired randomly. Liang Yao also raised his volcanic rifle and fired rapidly, enjoying the pleasure of rapid shooting with a lever rifle.

As for aiming? It doesn't exist.

Facing such a large number of passenger pigeons with such a dense formation, as long as the muzzle is pointed in the right direction, there will be gains, and aiming is redundant.

After a burst of gunfire, hundreds of passenger pigeons fell from the sky like fighter jets hit by anti-aircraft missiles.

The entourage who accompanied these California masters to hunt threw these poor passenger pigeons into sacks.

It didn't take long to collect several sacks of passenger pigeons.

After harvesting several sacks of passenger pigeons, everyone walked towards the depths of the forest.

But they didn't get much in the forest. They only hunted two North American grizzly bears in estrus and mating.

Sartre saw that there was not much to gain in the forest, so he led everyone to a wide field where a stream flowed and there was a shallow pool of water. This was the water source for many animals.

When they came to the water source, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they were very lucky. There were deer herds drinking water and eating grass beside the pool and stream.

Liang Yao raised his telescope and looked at the deer herds drinking water at the water source.

These deer were very large.

The shoulder height of an adult individual was between 2 meters and 6 meters, the length was between 2 and 3 meters, and the weight ranged from more than 200 kilograms to more than 500 kilograms. The size of the male deer was a whole circle larger than that of the female deer, and these male deer had large, beautiful, and very symmetrical antlers, which were excellent hunting targets.

The size of this herd of deer was not large or small, about 70 or 80 heads.

If Liang Yao guessed correctly, these deer were North American elk, which were later named Roosevelt elk after the American Governor Roosevelt.

The deer herd obviously had not yet realized the arrival of the crisis. Everyone dismounted, bent their bodies, and slowly approached the herd of deer with the cover of wild grass.

The wild grass here grew as high as a person's waist and was very dense, providing excellent cover for hunters.

When they were less than a hundred meters away from the herd of deer, everyone picked up the various powerful weapons that had been loaded and fired at the herd of deer almost at the same time under Sartre's command.

After the gunshot, the frightened herd of deer fled in all directions.

The servants hurriedly followed the blood trail to find prey.

Deer are different from humans. As long as their heart and lungs are not seriously damaged, they can often run a long distance.

At this moment, Liang Yao suddenly found that Liang Weiming was missing.

He hurriedly got on his horse to check, only to see that Liang Weiming had already ridden away from the crowd and was chasing a moose that they had not discovered just now.

The moose is the largest animal of the deer family and genus Alces. It is named because of its high shoulders, like the hump on the back of a camel.

The male moose that Liang Weiming was chasing was very large, 2.4 meters tall, and much longer than the largest elk Liang Yao had just seen.

Liang Yao roughly estimated that the weight of this giant beast would not be less than 700 kilograms.

Although herbivores are relatively docile, rabbits will bite people when they are cornered.

Liang Weiming was over 70 years old, and Liang Yao was worried that Liang Weiming might get into trouble, so he rode his horse with a gun and chased him.

The rest of the people saw this and didn't bother to count the prey they had just hunted, and followed him.

Liang Weiming only clamped his legs around his mount and bit the moose tightly. At this time, he only had eyes for the moose.

After approaching the frightened moose, Liang Weiming skillfully drew his bow and arrow and threw the arrow into the moose's lungs.

However, the arrow was not very accurate and hit the moose's thigh. The male moose that was shot with the arrow just wailed in pain, and did not slow down its running speed because of the injury. Instead, it ran faster and faster.

Liang Weiming was not in a hurry. He continued to draw arrows from the quiver and shot arrows at the lungs on the side of the moose's body.

Soon, eight or nine arrows were pierced into the moose's body, and Liang Weiming's quiver was empty.

Liang Weiming then put away the bow, tightened the reins to stop the horse under his crotch, and waited for the people following behind him.

"It's so refreshing, so refreshing!" Liang Weiming said to Liang Yao, who looked nervous.

"Grandpa, you scared me to death." Seeing that Liang Weiming was fine, Liang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone looked at Liang Weiming in amazement. There were not many people in California who could use bows and arrows, and even fewer who could ride and shoot. Even Sartre was impressed by Liang Weiming and admired his superb riding and shooting skills.

Others patted Liang Weiming's horse, saying that he was worthy of being an oriental nobleman with such superb riding and shooting skills.

Soon, everyone followed the moose's blood trail and found the moose's body in a piece of grass. They saw that the moose had been hit by nine arrows, four of which had pierced the moose's heart and lungs.

There were only 12 arrows in Liang Weiming's quiver. In other words, when Liang Weiming was chasing an object running at high speed, he only missed three arrows.

Although the moose is very large, such archery skills are already very powerful in the eyes of these old folks in California.

After all, shooting with a gun on horseback is not at the same level of difficulty as shooting arrows on horseback.

After harvesting 1 moose and 6 red deer, the group caught more than 20 catfish and grass carp in streams and small ponds on the way back, and hunted a dozen rabbits and two wild boars, finally returning home with a full load.

These prey, plus a few sacks of passenger pigeons harvested when they arrived, were enough to hold a wild picnic.

"There are too many birds and animals here." Liang Weiming lamented the abundant products of the North American continent.

"We were a bit unlucky today and didn't encounter a herd of bison." Liang Yaofan'er track.

"Herd of bison?" Liang Weiming's eyes lit up.

"Yes, the North American bison herds are counted in hundreds or thousands." Liang Yao said, "But there are fewer and fewer bison in California, and there are more in the Oregon region to the north."

After the game was returned to Sutter's Castle, it was quickly cooked into various delicacies by the chefs of Sutter's Castle and served.

The chefs at Sutter's Castle are very experienced and experienced in handling game. Soon, plates of beautiful-looking dishes were served.

At an upper-class picnic, whether the food is delicious or not is not the most important thing, but the presentation must be good-looking.

After the dishes were served, people began to feast.

Liang Yao was not used to the strange taste of wild animals, but he just stopped eating some fish after eating some.

Since it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still some time before the evening dance.

After having had enough wine and food, the wives helped their husbands to visit Sartre's manor.

Some people also choose to take a nap in the afternoon to recharge themselves for the dance party in the evening.

After all, the dance in the evening is the highlight of the picnic.

Women promote relationships through daytime conversation and gossip.

The men fostered friendship in the hunt.

The dance party at night is the best opportunity for men and women to enhance friendship.

Liang Yao also chose to take a nap in the afternoon. He lay on a lounge chair under a sun umbrella, stretched out, and lazily enjoyed the gentle sunshine of the autumn afternoon.

The servants of Sutter's Castle began to clear away the leftovers on the table, and the bustling Sutter's Castle gradually became quiet.

"What is the dance at night? Men dancing with men? Or men watching women dancing with women?" Liang Weiming lay on the lounge chair next to Liang Yao and complained dissatisfiedly while looking at the naked marble statue in the center of the fountain.

"How can one behave nakedly?"

Men feast, listen to showgirls singing, and watch dancers dance. This is the dance in Liang Weiming's mind.

Without waiting for Liang Yao to answer, Liang Shaochen, who was munching corn and drinking beer, excitedly interjected: "What's the point of watching others dance? Dancing yourself is the fun.

Dad, I’ve found out clearly that men and women are dancing together! Just like the foreigners in Guangzhou, holding hands, linking arms, and hugging waists. "

Liang Shaochen, who had been suppressed for half his life in the deep compound of Xiangshan, became more active after coming to California.

Isn't it more interesting to dance with other people's ladies than to smoke? Liang Shaochen now regrets not coming to California earlier.

"You kid has all these dirty things in your head!" Liang Weiming immediately turned red when he heard this, pointed at Liang Shaochen's nose and scolded him.

Then he turned around and asked Liang Yao: "Is this really true?"

Liang Yao smiled and said: "Really, we can hold hands, and if we are on good terms, we can even kiss each other face to face. Grandpa, you are the protagonist of this banquet. This banquet is for you to wash away the dust. Who do you like tonight?" Madams at home, just invite them to dance, no one will refuse you."

Liang Weiming suddenly became excited: "It's degrading! Ridiculous! Lewd! Unheard of! Suwen Westerners are morally corrupt and live extremely promiscuous lives. I don't want it to be like this!"

It is already against the norm for these rich ladies to appear in public, and they have to dance arm-in-arm with men at night. How unbecoming is this! "

"Grandpa, this is America, there is no Tsuna. You drink and go to prostitutes in the capital and Guangzhou, don't you think it is shameful to be polite?" Liang Yao said with a smile.

"Can this be the same? It's okay not to keep such a lewd party. Call me a carriage. I want to go back to Jinshan!" Liang Weiming stood up and said.

"They are all social activities to maintain friendship, what's the difference?" Liang Yao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you'd better be a little aggrieved and do as the Romans do."

"Yes, Dad, besides, you are the protagonist today. Wouldn't it be awkward for Mr. Sartre's banquet without you? Yao'er will still stay in California to do big things in the future. You left so lightly, leaving Sartre Sir, it’s embarrassing, how will Yaoer get along with Mr. Sartre in the future.”

Hearing that Liang Weiming was leaving, Liang Shaochen also hurriedly persuaded Liang Weiming to stay.

Liang Weiming was so angry that he slapped Liang Shaochen and cursed: "I think you just want to dance with a foreign woman!"
