Near noon, the heavy rain that raged all night and all morning finally stopped. After the storm, the sugar maple forest outside the window was also clean, revealing the intoxicating greenery and moist and fresh air.

Pushing the door and opening the window, young girls with Indian face paint on their faces also walked to the corridor at the door one after another, taking deep breaths while moving their shoulders that were slightly stiff because they had been doing manual work.

By the way, including Wei Ran, who was the last to walk out, they were all observing with great interest the unknown birds chirping and jumping around on the grass at the door.

"That's a North American robin."

Tantu, who was also stretching, introduced with a smile, "They are the most common birds. In some Indian aboriginal traditions, these monogamous little guys are also a symbol of love."

Before she finished her words, whether she was agreeing with her introduction or refuting her statement, an extremely pitiful and low roar came from the direction of the redwood forest in the distance, "Ah~oh——!"

"Forehead…"

Tantu scratched his head in distress, looked at the direction where the sound came from, and guessed in a positive tone with a headache, "It's a moose, and judging from the sound, it seems to be angry."

"Ah~oh——!" As soon as Tantu finished speaking, another long-pitched scream came from the redwood forest in the distance.

"How about..." Suisui asked very excitedly, but cautiously, "We... go take a look?"

Seeing Tantu looking at her, Koko waited for Anfiya to translate Suisui's proposal, and then nodded immediately, "I've only heard that this kind of deer is very big, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes." "It's beyond your imagination.

"knowledge is great"

Tantu gritted his teeth and finally screamed, "Take the shotgun and let's go over there on foot to have a look. The sound of the motorcycle will frighten it. I don't want to anger such a monster."

After hearing this, everyone returned to the wooden house like a swarm, and each took the weapons they got from the trunk of Tantu's car when they entered the farm.

"Are you sure you want to bring this thing with you?"

Suisui looked at the American hunting bow and quiver in Wei Ran's hand, and her beautifully painted face expressed an undisguised question, "Brother, are you here to make a joke?"

"Anyway, Sister Tantu is here, so what are you afraid of?"

As Wei Ran spoke, he neatly bent his bow and aimed an arrow at the sugar maple tree in the distance that still had the mark of the axe. He released the fully drawn bowstring with a "Boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of the four girls and an Indian elder sister, the feathered arrow passed by the sugar maple tree about half a meter away from the sugar maple tree with a chest diameter of half a meter, as expected, "Dang!

"There was a steady poke on a stainless steel bucket used to collect sugar maple sap.

"Ahem!"

Wei Ran cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Well, I was originally aiming for that steel barrel. Do you believe it?"

"believe"

Tan Tu smiled helplessly, took off the cowhide holster from his waist, and handed it to Wei Ran along with the revolver inside. He teased in a gentle tone, "But if you plan to shoot a moose, you'd better aim.

The nearest sugar maple tree, I believe you will be able to give that big guy a fatal blow when the time comes."

After saying this, not only did the moose in the distance let out another scream, but even the four girls couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although he became the target of ridicule, Wei Ran naturally didn't mind. He took the holster and hung it on his waist. He followed Tantu and walked to the front, walking through the wet bushes, with the Katenka sisters protecting him from behind.

The two girls, one foot deep and one foot shallow, cautiously approached the moose that kept screaming.

Of course, compared to moose, the first thing that appears in everyone's field of vision, in addition to the sugar maple trees that can be seen everywhere, are naturally the giant redwood trees.

"The most conspicuous one you can see is about 100 meters high."

Tantu pointed to the most conspicuous tree in front of him and introduced in a low voice, "Its base circumference exceeds ten meters. It is the largest North American redwood within a radius of 50 kilometers."

Seeing that everyone stopped and raised their necks, Tantu simply

They stood still, raised their necks together, looked at the tall redwood tree from a distance, and said, "In the legend of the aborigines, the gods live in such a big tree, and it is also the place where you can get closest to the deceased.

"

"When did you bring the telescope?" Suisui looked strangely at Wei Ran, who was standing next to him holding the telescope.

"I brought it with me when I came."

As Wei Ran spoke, he handed the heavy telescope to Suisui, "Look under those redwood trees. I found the reindeer."

"Where is it? Let me see!" As Suisui spoke, she had already taken the telescope and looked towards the redwood forest in the distance.

"To the right of the tallest redwood tree, there is a fallen sugar maple tree. Look into its crown." Wei Ran guided from the side.

"I am searching…"

Suisui moved the telescope she held with both hands, and then said excitedly, "I saw it! It seems...it seems to be trapped?"

"Let me see." Kou Kou waited for Anfisa to finish translating, then eagerly stretched out her little hand towards Suisui.

Without waiting for Wei Ran to translate, Suisui handed the telescope to Kou Kou, and Wei Ran helped guide the direction again.

"It seems to be really trapped..." Koko frowned and muttered in French.

"Can you let me take a look?" Tantu also asked in French. Hearing this, Kouko subconsciously looked at Wei Ran, and after he nodded, he immediately handed the telescope in his hand to Tantu.

After holding up the telescope and just taking a look, Tantu returned the telescope to Weiran, "We are indeed trapped. Wait for me here while I go over and take a look myself."

"I'll go with you," Wei Ran said, handing the binoculars to Suisui.

"Pay attention to safety." While Suisui took the telescope, he also handed the lever rifle that he had been carrying on his shoulder to Wei Ran.

"You also pay attention to safety." Wei Ran took the rifle and loaded the bullet with a "click".

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under Suisui's gaze with a telescope, Weiran and Tantu were five or six meters apart and cautiously walked towards the moose that kept screaming.

As the distance got closer, the two of them also saw the huge creature trapped in the canopy, struggling to stand up.

It was indeed a giant. Although its antlers seemed to be stuck with the branches of the fallen sugar maple tree, even so, its shoulder height was at least two meters high.

Of course, in addition to its huge size, Wei Ran and Tan Tu also noticed that in the belly of the moose, there was a maple tree that was as thick as a cucumber and dripping blood.

Looking at each other, Tantu sighed amidst the moose's constant whining, and while loading the civilian shotgun with a scope in his hand, he said, "This is an adult male moose, with such an injury.

It won't survive at all."

"This is Miss Kou Kou's farm," Wei Ran reminded kindly. Upon hearing this, Tan Tu's movements froze, and then nodded, "You're right, I really should ask about the wishes of the owner of this land."

"I didn't say anything." Wei Ran picked himself clean with his hands. "Thank you." Tan Tu put the shotgun on his shoulder, turned around and walked back quickly.

Soon, the woman came back, asked Wei Ran for her revolver, aimed behind the moose's ear, and pulled the trigger.

Before the sound of gunshots echoing in the forest subsided, Kou Kou and others quickly walked over, and the tall moose that had been shot in the head fell heavily to the wet grass with a "boom!"

superior.

"I'll go back and get the saw and car first, otherwise I won't be able to bring back such a big prey."

As Tantu said, he handed the revolver in his hand to Wei Ran again, "The safety of the girls is in your hands. I can trust you, right? Mr. Victor?"

"Of course, don't worry!" Wei Ran promised as he took the pistol.

As soon as she walked away, Suisui and others also ran over, got close to the huge body that was still trapped in the canopy, and took out their mobile phones.

"For such a big animal, I don't know what its slaughter rate is."

Koko said emotionally, "The closest thing I've broken down is Charolais beef, but the muscle fibers of that cow are rougher and the tenderness isn't good enough. Simply put, it's not delicious."

"Would you like to try it?"

Suisui waited for Wei Ran to help translate and immediately suggested, "I've always been curious about your butchering skills."

"And there are no police or extreme vegetarians here," Wei Ran joked after helping translate the Chinese into French.

Hearing this, Kerui pulled out the two hunting knives hanging on her waist and looked at them. She then made a particularly fancy circle around the two hunting knives in her palms and said, "I need a sharpening stick and..."

At this point, the rich butcher looked up and said, "We still need a winch to pull it up."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran immediately took out his satellite phone and dialed Tantu, conveying Cong Kou's request.

Less than ten minutes later, a small but expensive Unimog U20 pickup truck also rolled over the low shrubs in the forest and drove slowly from a distance.

However, before Tantu, who was driving, could apply the brakes, Anfiya, who had been looking around with Weiran's telescope, suddenly said, "Boss, there seems to be something on the tallest redwood tree.

"

"Is there something?"

Wei Ran subconsciously looked at the tallest redwood tree dozens of meters away, while Suisui took the first step to take the telescope handed over by Anfiya.

This time, without Anfiya's guidance at all, Suisui shouted, "There is really something! I saw it too. It's hanging on the trunk of the tree. It seems... it seems like a helmet?"

"Let me take a look." Wei Ran took the telescope handed by the other party and looked in the direction pointed by her finger.

Moving up the thick trunk, he soon noticed that there seemed to be something really fixed on the trunk of the redwood tree, which was about twenty meters above the ground.

Turning the focus wheel, as the field of vision became clearer, Wei Ran finally saw clearly what seemed to be an American-style steel helmet from World War II and an elongated cylinder located directly below the helmet.

At this moment, Tantu also turned off the engine and pushed open the car door. "Tantu, what is that thing up there?" Wei Yan put down the telescope, raised his hand and pointed at the tallest redwood tree and asked curiously.

"What? Is there something up there?"

Tantu subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the tall tree pointed by Wei Ran and others, then jumped down from the cab, handed a canvas bag containing various slaughtering tools to Kou Kou with both hands, and then took out another milk bag.

He handed the white canvas apron to the other party, and then looked in the direction of Wei Ran and others' fingers again.

Handing the telescope to the other party, Tantu shook his head after observing it, returned the telescope and replied, "I don't know what it is. Although I grew up in this forest since I was a child, no matter whether my grandfather or

My parents didn't allow me to climb that redwood tree, and I never noticed anything up there."

"Is it because of Indian beliefs that people are not allowed to climb that tree?" Koko asked subconsciously.
