Mr. Martin and Li Du started talking; he introduced him to the environment of the forest park and recommended some good spots for hunting.
”Walk straight down this path for about a mile, you’ll see a small trail. Follow the trail and you’ll see a small lake. I’m not telling you what it is, but there’s a surprise there.
”Did you see the small mountain? That’s the deer territory—you’ll see a lot of them if you’re lucky.
”If you’ve brought a hunting dog with you, I would recommend you to enter the deep forest. That’s where the fun is—you might see a wolf pack.”
As he mentioned about the last point, the old man beside him said, ”Are you sure, James? Do you think he should look for the wolf pack? That’s risky—it’s not every day that Sophie will meet a good man…”
Mr. Martin thought about it and said, ”Alright, don’t go to the deep forest. It’s better that you come home safely.”
Li Du laughed, ”I’ll be careful. But if I see any beasts, I don’t think I’ll be afraid. They should be scared instead.”
The old man patted his shoulder. ”Good guy, you are a brave young man.”
”Thanks for the compliment.”
They talked for a while before they left; Hans popped his head out of the car. ”Can I talk now?”
”Yes, but no one is listening. Come on, Godzilla. Let’s go!” He grabbed his quiver and started walking. Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles walked beside him, looking prestige.
They followed Mr. Martin’s introduction and went toward the small lake.
Water was the source of life. They could find animals wherever there were lakes and rivers.
Everyone knew this. Therefore, many hunters were waiting nearby the lake. Li Du saw some of them had laid a picnic cloth on the ground and planned to have a picnic.
They shook their heads and left when they saw this, instead walking toward the deep forest.
Li Du saw some wild vegetables along the way; he squatted down and picked them using his knife.
Crispy Noodles became energized when it saw him picking the vegetables. It used its front claws to dig the vegetables out, and it managed to collect many of them in a short time.
Li Du took some cherry tomatoes from his bag and gave them to the animal. He stroked its head gently and said, ”Well done, Crispy Noodles. You did a great job.”
Crispy Noodles proudly held his head high; it grabbed the cherry tomatoes and performed the washing action. Then, it put them into its mouth and enjoyed the food.
Ah Meow looked at him with disdain, thinking, What’s the big deal? Look at me, I’ll show you who the king of the jungle is!
The ocelot went into the bush quickly. When Li Du finished digging the vegetables, he saw that Ah Meow held a bird in its mouth and was showing it to the others. It looked fierce and proud.
The cute pheasant was plump and short, only about 20 centimeters long. Its fur was grey, white, and brown.
There was a weird, curly black feather on its head; it almost looked like a hook.
Li Du was shocked when he saw it. ”What bird is this?”
Hans glanced over and said, ”This is a Californian quail. It’s fleshy and delicious if we roast it.”
Li Du said, ”Is this a protected animal?”
American laws emphasized the protection of wild animals. The laws were very strict: if anyone hunted and killed a protected animal, they could be fined or jailed.
Hans shook his head. ”No, they are good at surviving, and can live in almost any environment.”
