The afternoon sun was shining in early summer, and Ross and the others followed Sartre | into the nearby mountains to hunt.

As Ross occasionally looked back from the mountains, he saw vast plains stretching from the foot of the mountains to the distant horizon, town buildings like miniature delicate models, dazzling sunlight as if sprinkling a layer of gold dust on the entire land, and magnificent landscapes shining everywhere.

Between the foothills is an endless forest, North American cypress, laurel, money pine can be seen everywhere, through the forest breeze willfully blowing the branches, making countless turquoise leaves sway in the wind, from far to near emitting waves of waves. Occasionally looking up, you can see several unusually tall redwoods rising in the distance, like road signs in high-rise buildings, pointing the way for pedestrians passing through the forest.

In addition to Ross and Sartre Sartre, accompanied by nearby cowboys, at this time it was the season to eliminate wild boars, the townspeople took up shotguns and went into the mountains together, although they had not yet found their target, but along the way they shot down a lot of black geese, wild sheep and hares and other animals, and even some people found a herd of drinking deer by a small stream, successfully killing two adult male deer.

Continuing along the mountain road, slowly Ross and the others separated from the other townspeople, they did not need to dive deep into the mountains to follow the trail of wild boars, but found a scenic and watery place to camp.

After the tent | was tied, Skye took Gwen and the others to pick up some dry branches nearby to make firewood, Ross had rich experience in surviving outside the |wilderness, and without the help of old Sartre, he casually built the furnace with stones and shi mud, and by the time the girls returned to the campsite laughing, they had already dealt with the game and were just waiting to add fuel to the campfire.

Bright flames leap through the stove, pine needles, maple branches, and walnut wood scent as the roast prey gradually emanates, and Old Sartre’s roasting technique is somewhat Memphisian, either brushing thick sauce before and after grilling, or just rubbing it with mixed seasonings before roasting.

Relatively speaking, Ross prefers the latter, so that the natural original flavor of the roasted meat is more prominent.

The light is getting dark, the setting sun sinks into the earth, the fire is raging in the center of the camp, the meat skewers have been burned brown, and they are smeared with olive oil and cumin, in addition to washed mountain mushrooms and wild shoots, they are also sliced and skewered with wooden skewers, and with the heat baking, there is a tempting aroma around |, the richness of the spices, the deliciousness of the mountain mushrooms and the taste of the barbecue itself, making everyone have a great appetite, even out of professionalism, Mary Jane, who usually pays attention to her figure, can’t help but eat a few more skewers.

Everyone sat around the campfire, and before the picnic was over, it was already dark at night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, reflecting the stars that seemed to be within reach.

“It’s really good that you can come, Janet has been feeling guilty for many years, and now seeing that everything is okay with you, she can finally let go of some of her thoughts.” Facing the blazing fire, Sartre Sr. raised his wine bottle and saluted Ross, who was sitting beside Rose.

“I really hated her for the first few years, and it didn’t feel good to suddenly lose everything, and it wasn’t until after high school that I slowly understood that sometimes ordinary people don’t have a choice.” Ross also raised the wine bottle and took a sip, which was also the idea of the original owner of the body.

The two gently touched the bottle.

“Are you going to take Skye away?” Old Sartre asked through the wine.

“That depends on her own ideas.” Ross was noncommittal.

As the situation evolved, he was now less desperate for manpower than he had in the past, and in Skye’s case, he wasn’t going to manipulate too much, and it might be better to let it be.

But the old Sartre has roughly guessed the mind of his adopted daughter, her future is not in the town below the mountain, or even in the inland Illinois, maybe a bustling city like New York is her best stage, with Ross’s help, presumably she can also make a career.

“There are fewer and fewer young people in towns, ambitious children do not gather around their parents, and the big city is where they want to be.” Gregory Sartre couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

“I remember when I first found Skye, she was so big, dirty, and pitiful like a lost little animal… Something strange always happens to her, and then she slipped away because of conflicts with people, wandered outside for several years before we found her again, I heard that she was adopted by several families, but she had a very unpleasant life, and it was only in the last two years that she had a smile on her face again… You have to treat her well! ”

Old Sartre carefully instructed, Ross always felt that his words sounded familiar, and it took a moment to recall that George Stacy and General Thaddeus had similar explanations.

This tone seemed strange, Ross said inwardly.

Without noticing his expression, the other party kept nagging, and after saying it over and over again, suddenly Ross raised his hand and shot, and the bullet passed by the old Sartre, hitting a wood-grained rattlesnake that had just poked its head out in the grass behind.

“…… Good marksmanship! Old Sartre turned to look at the viper only a few feet behind him, although the three-| angular snake head was sparsely hit by the whistling bullet, and the colorful snake body was still slowly wriggling on the ground. He smacked his lips and |, cocked his thumb from the bottom of his heart, and was impressed by Ross, forgetting for a moment what he wanted to say.

After | night without a word, everyone went down the mountain early the next morning and completed the camp.

After another two days, the vacation finally ended, and Ross and the others arrived at the airport of the neighboring city, where a special plane was waiting.

Janet was sad to be separated from her son again, staying on the farm and not coming, the old Sartre drove his adopted daughter all the way to the airport, at this time the outside was already crowded with local political and business celebrities who heard the news, and as the influence of the cutting-edge laboratory became more and more |, even in this remote agricultural area, many people knew Ross’s identity, including local chiefs and councillors also rushed to see him off, hoping to have a little relationship with this rising business star, they were too eager, and invisibly squeezed aside people who were really related to Ross.

Skye, who was a little unhappy in his heart and still had a green breath on his cheeks, jumped up and down in the plane, looking the cabin up and down with big curious eyes, and then puffed out his cheeks, reluctantly returned outside, wrapped Ross’s arm and didn’t want him to leave.

“I still have work to deal with, and you can come to New York on your own when you grow up.” Ross mopped her little head, and the bodyguard went over to keep out the unrelated people.

“Otherwise, if we go together this time, school will be closed soon, and I can wait until school starts and come back.” Skye is not whimsical, and the local summer vacation begins in mid-May and ends in mid-August, lasting nearly three months.

Of course, Ross did not agree, Ning | quiet countryside is more suitable for her to grow up, and I am afraid that her mind will run wilder when she arrives in New York.

“You better stay at home honestly, I left Felicity to you, remember to learn from her.” Ross flexed her finger and knocked on the door of her head, then instructed the assistant to send a checkbook and casually scribbled a few strokes on it, which was the money used to upgrade the equipment, and she could learn to use it on her own.

Skye immediately guessed what he meant, clinging to his shoulder with excitement, her dark eyes staring at the tip of the pen without blinking, hoping that Ross would write a long string of numbers.

Rose lived up to her expectations and gave her a check for fifty thousand dollars, which Skye took with respectful hands, her delicate little face flushed with excitement.

Looking back and forth several times, she suddenly accepted it a little embarrassed.

“Are you really giving me all of this?” Skye looked a little worried.

“Why are you so nice to me?” For a moment, Ross saw on her face some kind of vicissitudes that were completely inconsistent with her age, and she was like a cheerful and lively little girl.

“yes, why?” He looked up in distress, puzzled, and after a few seconds, he clenched his fist and slapped his palm, and his face suddenly realized.

“You forgot, I’m your long-lost brother.”

Hearing him teasing each other, Gwen and the others behind laughed softly, and Skye was flushed with laughter from them.

“Well, Rose, you’re such a nice guy… You are all. She sniffed and wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

“Go back, remember what I said, I will check your progress through the Internet.” Ross scratched the tip of her nose, said goodbye to Sartre Sr., and then turned and walked into the cabin.

“When I graduate, I will go to New York to find you, and remember to reserve the position of the head of the information department for me!”

Skye put her hands to her mouth and shouted at Ross’s back.

“If you want, you can compete with strength, we are a serious enterprise.”

Ross waved his hand back, and without looking back, the falling hatch slowly separated the girl’s sight.

The plane started, and after taxiing for a while on the runway, the fuselage shook slightly, and it rushed into the blue sky.
