Gray Lint did not hunt a single prey.
Audrey had better luck. A panicked white fox rushed past Audrey by accident, and then was disturbed and became Audrey's trophy.
"Hauge..."
"Wang!"
Gray Linte looked at the shotgun in his hand with a look of sadness on his face.
It's not that Hauge couldn't find his prey, but that he couldn't make up the crucial shot, allowing his prey to slip away easily every time.
He didn't practice spear skills specifically, and he didn't have Audrey's good luck, so he could only finish at the bottom.
As they went deeper, Hasta came to the cabin he had built with Maric by the waterhole, ready to take a short rest here.
Audrey, holding the silly white fox, followed by Susie, also came here slowly.
.
She was not far from Hastur. When she discovered that there was a waterhole and a cabin here, she turned slightly in a different direction and came here.
“This place is really nice.”
Audrey praised her and led Susie to the pool to play in the water.
Rather than hunting, she prefers to appreciate every inch of the forest worth stopping for.
The scene where water pools, lush forests, wooden houses, dead vines and other scenery blend together is also the beautiful scenery in the forest that she has imagined.
"It's a pity that there are no small houses made of pea vines here." Hasta came over and joked with a smile.
"Mr. Hastur, please don't expose the girl's fantasy." Audrey puffed up her cheeks slightly, took a handful of water and poured it on Susie who was lying by the pool with her eyes closed and concentrating.
"Wang!"
Susie opened her eyes and looked at Audrey, shook off the water drops on her body, walked away from Audrey with graceful steps, and found a place under the shade of a tree to lie down and rest.
"Audrey, Susie's steps are very elegant. It seems that you can teach by words and deeds very well."
"Susie is so smart. She likes to imitate other people's walking postures."
Audrey took another look at Susie lying far away. She felt that if this continued, Susie would probably forget her instinct of how to hunt as a hound.
It now likes to learn knowledge about humans. Well, it feels that it is equal to itself in terms of personality, even though it is itself that provides food to it every time.
Hasta smiled and came to enjoy the shade of a tree by the pool, looking at Audrey who was playing in the water.
Today, Audrey is wearing Backlund's most popular hunting women's clothing, no longer wearing a traditional long skirt, and she is wearing much less jewelry.
Brown double-breasted jacket, brown short boots, black trousers, and a red felt hat on his head.
The whole person looks a bit more dashing and heroic, and the overall image is somewhat similar to Bernadette.
But after careful inspection, Audrey's temperament has always been more elegant and majestic, without Bernadette's free and easy feeling that comes from her bones.
After a while, Graylint appeared sullenly.
He originally had a chance to catch a roe deer, but at the time he felt that a roe deer prey was too small to be worth hunting.
Later, he felt that no matter how small the prey was, it was better than finding it empty-handed.
"Hauge doesn't seem to be in good condition today?"
Hastur gave the embarrassed Gray Lint a step down.
"Yes, it trained too late last night, so it didn't have much energy today, otherwise it would be very powerful on weekdays."
Placing today's failure on Hauge, Gray Lint's mood improved a lot.
After chatting with Hastur for a while, his eyes looked at Susie.
If he remembered correctly, Susie didn't catch a single prey today.
Gray Linte immediately cheered up, came to Audrey, and chatted with her for a few words. Both of them looked at Susie.
Susie, who had closed her eyes to rest, felt the malicious gaze, opened her eyes and stood up, looking back at Gray Linte and Audrey.
Although it couldn't quite hear what the two people on the other side were saying, it definitely wasn't a good thing.
"Susie, come here."
Audrey smiled and waved from the air, and Susie couldn't help but shudder.
Chapter 203 Susie: Audrey, how are my acting skills?
It felt that it should pretend to faint now, just like Audrey would use this trick every time she didn't want to deal with people, and the effect was very good.
After several observations, it felt that it had also learned this skill of pretending to faint, but it just never had the chance to use it.
Right now is a good opportunity.
Under the gazes of Audrey, Hastur, and Gray Lint.
Susie first took small steps to leave the shadow area and came to a place where the sun could shine. Then her trotting speed became slower and slower. Finally, after taking two hard steps, her front legs gave out and her whole body fell forward, unable to pull up. His eyelids looked weakly at Audrey for the last time and then closed.
It has observed Audrey many times, and each time Audrey would first pretend to be uncomfortable, and then pretend to faint in front of everyone.
Every time he did this, the people around him would exclaim. They were afraid that something would go wrong with Audrey, so they would ask her to suspend her activities and go back to her room to rest.
"..."
"..."
"Susie, something doesn't look right."
The person who exclaimed was Gray Linte, the person who looked speechless and tried to hide his embarrassment was Audrey, the person who twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and tried not to laugh was Hasta.
Susie's performance was as flawless as it thought it was, perfect.
But Audrey, a master of pretending to faint, could already read Susie's thoughts from her eyes.
Hastur observed the details, and Susie's clumsy and heavily imitated performance could not be hidden from his eyes.
Did Susie apply what she learned from Audrey?
Hastur looked at Audrey, and Audrey turned slightly to avoid Hastur seeing the embarrassed look on her face.
She also didn't expect that Susie would use the tactic of pretending to faint, and the acting was very clumsy, so she could deceive Gray Linte.
"Susie is really smart and learns really fast."
Listening to Hastur's meaningful words, Audrey felt her cheeks burning. She didn't dare to be alone with Hastur anymore, and followed Gray Lint to the place where Susie fainted.
When she came to Susie's side, Audrey secretly gritted her teeth. If no one was present, she would definitely kick Susie in the butt and make her pretend to faint!
Sensing someone coming, Susie started her performance again. First she twitched a few times, foaming from the corners of her mouth, then opened her weak eyes, glanced at Audrey reluctantly, and then closed her eyes again, with a peaceful expression on her face. .
"Susie..."
Audrey looked at the dramatic golden retriever still acting and felt really embarrassed for it.
When Gray Linte wasn't paying attention, she quietly stretched out her right foot and kicked Susie to signal her not to go too far.
Unexpectedly, Susie became more and more energetic. Not only did she pretend to faint, she also deliberately let out a soft whimper of suppressed sadness.
"..."
Audrey covered her face with her hands, feeling really ashamed.
She felt that after today's incident, her image in Mr. Hastur's heart would definitely change again.
"Hey, Susie's situation doesn't look too bad."
Grellant squatted down and took a closer look.
Observe Susie's true situation.
Very healthy, not sick at all.
Audrey suggested: "Graylint, Susie is no longer alive. Let's throw her into the water and let her stay here forever."
"It's better to bury it in the soil. If you keep soaking in water, your body will become swollen. That way of death will be too ugly and disgusting." Hasta came over and added a sentence.
"How could you do this? Susie won't..."
Before Grayling finished speaking, he saw Susie quickly getting up, shaking herself up, and wagging her tail towards Audrey to please her.
"Susie, you can actually fake your death!"
Gray Linte exclaimed that he just talked to Audrey just to let Hauge compete with Susie, but Susie gave him a blow immediately.
With such superb acting skills, even he was deceived. This was so smart!
"Wang Wang."
Susie ignored Glalint, who was now concentrating on pleasing Audrey, who was not in a very beautiful mood.
"It's okay." Audrey gave Susie a look that said she would go back and take care of you.
"Wang..."
Susie shrugged her head and followed Audrey. She couldn't figure out why her acting skills were fine, but why couldn't she deceive Audrey?
After this episode, Gray Linte temporarily gave up the idea of competing with Susie.
The three of them rested for a while by the waterhole. Earl Hall also came, walking briskly and in a happy mood.
Thinking that when the three of them chose to rest, he gained a lot.
Everyone had already arrived, and Hasta asked the people following him to bring tea and snacks for a simple afternoon tea.
"Unfortunately, the forests here are too dense to allow horses to gallop. It would be interesting if we hunted on plains or in areas with sparse trees."
Earl Hall was quite moved, and then gave Hastur and Graylint a brief introduction to the real noble hunting scene.
If it is a hunting activity organized by the royal family, there can be as many as hundreds of hounds in groups. The nobles sit on horses and drive groups of hounds to chase the prey. The shotguns in their hands are weapons to compete with each other.
Each hunting trip can last for several days, camping in the wild at night and grilling the prey caught during the day.
Noble ladies and noble ladies sang and danced around the bonfire. Wine and guns were all that a hunting event required.
When talking about the rise, Earl Hall explained to Hastur and others his heroic deeds in his youth, such as how many prey he caught or how accurate his marksmanship was.
Hastur thought that if Audrey wasn't here and gave Earl Hall some wine, he might have brought up the love affairs of his youth as a topic of conversation.
Audrey just listened with a smile and did not stop Earl Hall from talking about the past events of his youth.
