Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 560 Hunting

  Early the next morning

  When the sky was still bright, the screaming people in the yard of the farm became lively, Bian Shoutian carried a shiny Winchester burst rifle in his hand and yelled;

  "Second tiger, hurry up and put the horses in. Don’t forget to beat a few eggs in the concentrate. Today’s hunting is not easy. Let the horses eat a little bit longer."

   "Dahu, did your rifle be maintained yesterday?"

  "Chunhua girl, go and see if your brother is up. I can't get up anymore."

"I'm coming……"

While putting on his clothes, Bian Chunsong went downstairs and walked to the porch to see that Abba, second mother, Dahu, and Erhu were all dressed neatly, carrying a bullet belt full of bullets, carrying a rifle in his hand, and preparing to set it. The saddle, wait for the rider to eat some concentrated feed, drink some clean water, and set off when you are ready.

  He asked for a moment; "Abba, are you going to hunt rabbits today?"

"Of course, today, the armed militias in the nearby farms and towns are all dispatched to hunt rabbits in the surrounding fields. These bad things that harm the crops are multiplying too fast. They have to be sorted out once a month. You should prepare quickly. Let's go together."

   "Abba, I'm going back this afternoon."

   "I know, don’t be silly, time is too late, hurry up to find your gun, don’t be silly reading all day, just go out for activities."

"Oh, okay."

  Bian Chunsong, but Abba hurriedly ran back to take out the rifle from the bedroom, brought a water bottle and some dry food that had been prepared long ago, and hurriedly mounted his horse and set off with his family.

  In Australian farms and ranches, there is hardly anyone who can't ride a horse and shoot a gun.

  Bian Chunsong learned how to ride a gun at the age of 13, and his marksmanship was pretty good, but then he abandoned his skills when he went to school, and he hasn’t made much progress over the years.

  In the hazy morning light

A family of five people rode horses to meet with the surrounding farmers, and gradually formed a larger team. When they arrived in Hejia Town, the sight was filled with black-backed cowboys on horseback and guns. There were thousands of people. There was a sound of barking horses everywhere.

Bian Shoutian was originally a grassroots officer of the Dragoon Guards, and he was quite prestigious in the local area. After bumping his head with some people in charge of the town, his subordinates were assigned to a hunting team of more than 100 people, responsible for going along the Qiguai River. Drive, drove the hare group to a valley in the distance to hunt.

Australian wild rabbits are huge and fierce. There have even been instances of kicking greyhounds to death. Once they rush up and run very fast, they turn quickly, and ordinary shepherd dogs can’t catch up, and only greyhounds can compete. Fan.

   Frightened rabbits are running around in the wild. It is really hard to get a run when running. It needs excellent marksmanship.

Therefore, the cowboys’ Winchester lever burst guns use shotguns. A large piece of lead is shot out. The lever burst guns have fierce firepower. The barrel can be filled with more than ten rounds of bullets. The gun is dead if touched, and wounded if rubbed, and the effect of playing wild rabbits is very good.

The most famous battle of Winchester's continuous firing rifle was in the 10th Russian-Turkish War in 1877. At that time, the Ottoman army used this new lever rifle to the Russian army who was suppressing the territory during the battle to defend the fortress of Pleven. Frustrated.

Three consecutive hand-to-hand attacks by the overwhelming Russian army resulted in deaths and injuries in the intensive bullet rain of Winchester's lever-fired guns, resulting in heavy casualties of about 20,000 Russian soldiers, and became famous for a time.

this age

The Winchester Rifle is a lever rifle loved by cowboys, sheriffs and gangsters in the development boom of the American West. It is also the same in Australia. It is widely welcomed by cowboys and farmers. Sharp weapon.

   "Follow my orders... Team C will start."

   Bian Morita shouted, and took the lead with more than 100 cowboys and dozens of dogs to set off. The other teams behind him left the town one by one, hunting in all directions.

  At this time, the sky was gradually clear. The wild rabbit dens in the suburbs were startled by a large group of horses and horses, and they fled in panic. The cowboys hunting around kept firing gunshots and drove forward slowly in a semi-arc along the Qiguai River.

  Because it is a large group of people, the cowboys can only shoot at the front target. It is strictly forbidden to shoot left, right and backward. Even wild rabbits that slip through the net cannot be fired to prevent the bullet from accidentally injuring people.

Bian Chunsong rode a horse in the queue. He saw a young woman with a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and a ring of yellow orange bullets on her belt. She looked beautiful and brave, she couldn't think of a woman. Also love this wild hunting activity.

   "Hmm... I take the liberty of it. I am Bian Chunsong from Bian's Farm. Dare to ask this young lady who is her last name? I have never seen it before. Is it a new immigrant?"

  The young woman did not answer his question, but quickly raised the gun to aim and shoot.

  After the shot of "pop..."

I saw a dozen wild rabbits scurrying at a distance of seventy to eighty meters. A big fat hare was beaten up and flew up, throwing a clear line of blood and falling down on the grass. The rabbit's legs kicked twice. Next, he died.

  "Papa......" After a few consecutive shots, the rabbit fell almost upon the shots. This woman's marksmanship was very good.

   Until the wild rabbits in front of her were all killed by the cowboys, the young woman put down her gun indifferently and replied; "Well... I heard about the Bian’s farm, what do you want to know?"

   "Ahem...I'm fine." Bian Chunsong gave a dry cough and replied slightly embarrassingly.

  He has grown up so much, and he has never seen such a sturdy woman. His good marksmanship is really a gunshot, which is totally incompatible with her delicate and intellectual style.

   Originally thought that this delicate woman was taking advantage of the hunt to relax, and belonged to soy sauce. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a gun master.

  There are many cowboys with good marksmanship, but not everyone can shoot one at the wild rabbits running around. He feels that he can't provoke him, and he has a retreat in his heart.

  Bian Chunsong’s answer made the young woman look at him carefully. Crescent frowned slightly and said; “There’s a young man in Bian’s farm who goes to school at Red River Valley University, isn’t it you?”

   "It's just a small area, how dare you ask the girl how to know?"

"No..." the young woman raised her chin and said with a mocking smile; "Our hunting team captain Bian brags in the tavern in the town two or three days ago, telling him how the younger and younger generations are good at school, really. Wenquxing is one of the best in a million. In the past few years, almost no people in Hejia Town don’t know. Do I know it’s weird?"

  "This...makes the girl laugh." Bian Chunsong felt a flush on his face.

  He also knows about this. Abba is very proud of it. He hangs Bian Chunsong on his mouth wherever he goes. The ears of those old guys are calloused and they are too annoying.

With a population of tens of millions of people in Queensland, plus millions of people in overseas territories, the proportion of young and middle-aged adults has reached almost 90%. The top Red River Valley University enrolls only a mere two or three thousand per year. It's not an exaggeration to pick one in a million.

  Bian Chunsong is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where there is always a flourishing style of writing, and there are many people who are literate and hyphenated. Randomly find 10 people on the street, and there will always be one or two who can recognize the characters. This is already extraordinary in today's era.

Comparison

  There are so many illiterate immigrants from the Northland and the inland areas, and 90% of them cannot read characters. This is the gap.

   Therefore, in Bian Shoutian's heart, he was very satisfied with the son of the glorious door. He kept showing off all day long. There is no imperial examination in Queensland, and it is almost a scholar who can go to the top Red River Valley University. This is not an exaggeration.

"It's not a joke. Those who can go to Red River Valley University in Hejia Town are just a few of them. Local students have to compete with outstanding students from the Young Eagle School. It is really not easy to be able to enter Red River Valley University for further studies, Mr. Bian. It's also considered the best." The young woman pursed her lips and said heartily; "Oh... by the way, get to know, I am He Pannan."

  He Pannan?

  Bian Chunsong flashed the name in her heart, and she was shocked;

   Isn’t this the second daughter of Sir He (Major General He Fang)?

The biggest public secret of Hejiazhen is not that Bian Chunsong was admitted to the Red River Valley University, nor is it any other news, but that Sir He has been begging for males for many years. This is almost an open secret, no one knows, no one knows. .

  In terms of age, Sir Ho is already over forty, and is approaching the age of knowing the fate, but the lady at the main house has given birth to four daughters in a row. This makes Sir Ho, who is serious in Confucianism, sleepless day and night, and feel ashamed of his ancestors.

  There are three so-called unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

  Although several offspring gave birth to two sons, Sir He is still deeply dissatisfied. He thinks that it is difficult for the sons to inherit the title and incense of the He family, and they will be looked down upon in the upper-class society. His name is not right and his words are not right.

  So, Sir Ho wants to have a son. His eldest daughter is called He Bingxin, which means that she is cold in her heart and feels that she has given birth to a loser.

  The second daughter is called He Pannan, the third daughter is called He Qiunan, and the fourth daughter is called He Liannan, which means poor poor Hejia, let’s have a boy.

  Until three years ago, Mrs. Masashi finally gave birth to a Linzi, which made Sir He very happy.

  I rushed back from Borneo to celebrate the 100-day birthday of this precious son, named He Tianbao, which means that the treasure bestowed by God has finally recovered from a major heart disease and has explained to the ancestors and family.

  Sir He had a feast in Red River Valley and invited guests and friends. At that time, Lord Earl personally came to congratulate him, and there were a bunch of big guys to join him. The scenery is really needless to say.

  So Sir He’s eldest daughter He Bingxin is 23 years old, his son is 5 years old, and his brother He Tianbao is only 3 years old.

   These thoughts flashed in his mind, Bian Chunsong immediately clasped his fists in his hands and said salute; "Oh...it turned out to be the second lady of Sir Alex Ferguson's mansion in person, please forgive Chunsong for not knowing the crime."

   "No need to be polite." He Pannan stretched out a slender hand and shook it, then he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression came down. He didn't want to talk more, and rode forward silently.

  The speed of the team hunting wild rabbits does not need to be fast, mainly to ensure a tight and complete queue, all the way to drag the net.

The cowboys are all experienced horses riding slowly. When passing a hilly bush, a large group of shepherd dogs and greyhounds released alarmed the wild rabbit den. Hundreds of wild rabbits ran across the mountains and the wild like blowing up their dens. For a time, the gunshots were loud.

  Bian Chunsong had the opportunity to show his marksmanship. "Papa......" After seven or eight shots in a row, he didn't get a single rabbit fur, which made him blush.

  On the other hand, He Pannan next to him, the Winchester lever rifle in his hand seemed to be a godly help, and the bunny called the gun shot down, as if he had vented all the silent depression in his heart on the wild rabbit, and nothing was lost.

  Such a female woman really makes a man ashamed!
