It was this sudden turn of the head that gave the charging coyote an opportunity, and it snapped its jaws onto one of the white-tailed deer's hind legs.
The white-tailed deer struggled, trying to escape, but one of its legs was firmly held by the coyote, leaving it no chance to flee.
Soon, the coyote released the white-tailed deer's leg and bit down on its neck, killing it instantly.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Su Xiaoqiang did not pull the trigger; he simply watched quietly.
"Aren't you going to save that deer?" Gu Ran asked.
Chapter 267 Is the bed too crowded?
“If we save the deer, what will the wolves eat? They might have a whole family to feed!” Su Xiaoqiang saw things clearly and didn’t have any saintly feelings.
Gu Ran smiled slightly.
Sure enough, after a while, three wolf cubs that had just been weaned ran out. The coyotes responsible for hunting tore open the white-tailed deer's belly, and the wolf cubs began to gather around and eat the deer meat.
A white-tailed deer that was just frolicking around has now become a feast for a family of coyotes. The three wolf cubs are eating with their mouths full of fresh deer blood.
Gu Ran ruffled Su Xiaoqiang's hair: "I didn't expect my baby to see things so clearly."
Su Xiaoqiang felt a little smug after being praised by her boyfriend. Pretending to be very intellectual, she said:
“We hunt only when we feel like it, and the law of the jungle is the law of nature. I have no reason to interfere. If I had just killed that coyote, those wolf cubs might have starved to death.”
“Yes, yes, my baby makes the most sense,” Gu Ran said with a smile. “Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Wait a minute…” Su Xiaoqiang said, “Let’s go over there and put the animal trap away. There’s no sign over there, and it’s not good if someone gets caught.”
"There's no need to go over there." Gu Ran casually picked up a stone and tossed it over there. The stone landed right on the trap's mechanism, triggering it and snapping into place with a "click."
"Am I amazing?" he asked Su Xiaoqiang, as if seeking praise.
"Yes, yes, my boyfriend is the best." Su Xiaoqiang put the gun away and smiled as she kissed his left cheek.
Gu Ran put his arm around her neck and kissed her on the lips: "However, being kind is one thing, but if you really encounter a wolf, you should still shoot. Don't be soft-hearted."
"Nonsense, of course! Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Yes, yes, you're the smartest!" Gu Ran wasn't worried that she would make such a mistake; she had always been a very opinionated person.
Su Xiaoqiang then picked up the gun and said, "Let's go, let's go hunt some rabbits, we'll have rabbit meat tonight!"
"Hey, how can you eat bunnies!" Gu Ran pouted, pretending to be pitiful. "Bunnies are so cute, why would you eat them?"
Su Xiaoqiang's alluring eyes widened, and she blinked rapidly a few times: "Huh?"
Gu Ran started to fake cry: "The bunny is so cute, you're so cruel!"
Su Xiaoqiang was both amused and exasperated: "Cruel my foot! When we were in Shanghai, you were the one who enjoyed eating rabbit heads the most when we went to Sichuan restaurants!"
"My family used to keep rabbits, and I was born in the Year of the Rabbit!"
Su Xiaoqiang was amused by his antics: "You're not a rabbit, you're clearly a sheep!"
Gu Ran continued, "It's too cruel for girls to eat rabbits! You're not allowed to eat them!"
Watching him act so earnestly, Su Xiaoqiang burst into laughter, almost unable to stand up straight.
"Okay, okay, I won't eat the bunny, be good!" Su Xiaoqiang cooperated with him, ruffling his head in a slightly annoyed manner.
After the joke, the two began looking for other prey. In the end, Su Xiaoqiang shot a turkey weighing more than ten kilograms, while Gu Ran shot a super fat rabbit.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't eat rabbit?"
"I'm a boy, I can eat it, but you can't!"
"..."
Su Xiaoqiang gutted both the turkey and the rabbit, and although her hands were covered in blood, she didn't mind the smell.
It was the first time she had ever prepared these ingredients, and she didn't know how to process them, so she did what Bear Grylls did: remove the head, tail, and internal organs.
The turkey was placed on the fire grill by Gu Ran, roasted until cooked, and then coated with honey. The rabbit meat was made into spicy rabbit meat with beef tallow hot pot base, ginger, scallions, and garlic.
The innocent turkey and the adorable rabbit thus became human dinner.
*……*……*
The next morning, Gu Ran packed up the RV's mounting bracket and headed to the next stop.
This trip wasn't entirely spent living in the RV; when we went to the city to resupply, we stayed in hotels.
People are sometimes like this: after staying in the city for a long time, they want to go for a walk in the countryside, but after staying in the countryside for a long time, they also want to return to the convenience of the city.
So the two of them traveled through nights and towns, and instead of getting tired, they found it even more enjoyable.
Gu Ran's travel routes are all planned, and along the way you can see the scenery of Central America, and sometimes you will go out to eat local delicacies.
Su Xiaoqiang stayed with Gu Ran and fully enjoyed the happiness of their time together.
Gu Ran had already prepared the itinerary. All Su Xiaoqiang had to do was chat with him while he drove and occasionally sing to him to cheer him up.
The journey can be boring at times, but with someone by her side, she finds it all worthwhile. There's no need to force conversation or engage in awkward small talk; simply being there quietly is enough.
She really enjoyed it.
When traveling, unexpected situations may arise, but there are always contingency plans for all of them.
For example, one day, their car had a flat tire on the road. After Gu Ran parked the car, he immediately found a spare tire in the car, changed it, and then found the nearest Michelin tire shop to replace the tire.
He doesn't need to find a mechanic; he can do it himself.
At that moment, she truly felt that he was omnipotent.
Even changing a tire looks cool!
After spending a few days exploring the border states between the US and Canada and enjoying the surrounding scenery, Gu Ran started driving south.
When passing through some major traffic arteries, we still encountered police checkpoints. Those drug dealers still haven't been caught. I don't know how the FBI and state sheriffs are doing their jobs.
Since the inspection would take a lot of time and make the interior of the RV dirty, and there was no wanted criminal in the vehicle, Gu Ran was too lazy to go through all that trouble, so he simply hypnotized the inspectors.
"Where are we going next?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
Gu Ran replied, "Head southeast, back to Chicago. We can have a few more days of sightseeing along the way."
In fact, Su Xiaoqiang had been counting down the days, and there were only three days left until her birthday.
She was very curious about where Gu Ran would take her on her birthday.
There's definitely a surprise in store, otherwise they wouldn't have brought her out specifically.
She tried to probe Gu Ran's intentions several times, but he kept his mouth shut and she couldn't get any information out of him. Su Xiaoqiang had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and wait patiently.
Another day passed, and the weather suddenly started to deteriorate. In the afternoon, a heavy rainstorm hit.
Their car was driving on a mountain road.
Because of the heavy rain, for safety reasons, Gu Ran did not continue driving rashly. He abandoned his plan to go to the next campsite and parked his car on a nearby elevated, sheltered, gentle slope platform.
The weather forecast says the downpour may last until 11 p.m.
"It looks like we'll be camping here tonight." Gu Ran had used his shadow clone to scout the area. The slope was gentle, so there was no chance of mudslides, and there were no rivers or flash floods on the mountain.
Because it's been constantly moving, the RV has plenty of electricity. It has a toilet, a shower, air conditioning, an induction cooker, and plenty of food in the refrigerator. It's no problem to live here for three to five days.
Because Gu Ran was well-prepared, Su Xiaoqiang wasn't worried about anything. To her, the RV was like a cozy room where she could be with her boyfriend freely without being disturbed, and they could even travel together. It was truly wonderful.
"What do you want for dinner?" Gu Ran asked.
"Hot pot, I'll keep it simple."
"How about tomato stew?"
"Okay!"
There's steak in the fridge, perfect for hot pot after I cut it up, along with bacon, chicken wings, and other meats, as well as vegetables I bought a couple of days ago.
The two worked together, with Gu Ran chopping vegetables and Su Xiaoqiang washing them. In no time, a simple yet sumptuous dinner was ready.
After dinner, with nothing to do, the two sat together on the bed watching TV.
I was watching the American TV series "Breaking Bad".
After taking a shower, Su Xiaoqiang sat next to her boyfriend in a white lace nightgown. Her long, white legs were stretched out and crossed, her rounded thighs swaying from side to side, and her taut thigh muscles trembling slightly.
She asked, "Do you think if someone saw our RV from a distance right now, they'd mistake it for a kitchen?"
Gu Ran stroked her smooth shoulder and laughed, "It's certainly possible, especially when you're taking a hot shower. The white steam keeps coming out, and people really think we're doing art."
The two chatted as they watched, and after watching two episodes, it was time to take a break.
They turned off the lights and lay down on the bed together.
The rain was still falling, and the dense raindrops hit the RV's canopy with a dull thud.
That's one of the downsides of RVs: the rain noise is too loud. But once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
"Rumble--"
The thunderous roar continued, echoing through the mountains.
"Ah, it's thundering, I'm so scared!" Gu Ran immediately snuggled into Su Xiaoqiang's arms after hearing the thunder.
Su Xiaoqiang was amused by him again, letting his head keep rubbing against her armpit.
"I'm so scared, please comfort me," he said in a childlike, coquettish tone.
Su Xiaoqiang pinched his cheek, then hugged his head and stroked it: "Be good, be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your sister is here!"
"Sister, I want to drink some milk..."
"No way, I'll be struck by lightning if I drink it now."
"I want..." Gu Ran began to whine again, and Su Xiaoqiang had no choice but to go along with his mischievousness.
After playing for a while, Gu Ran returned to normal, hugged her in his arms, and felt each other's body temperature.
He asked, "Don't you think this bed is too cramped?"
Space in a motorhome is limited, so this bed isn't very wide, only 1.2 meters.
"I don't know, I've never tried it!" Su Xiaoqiang said with a hint of resentment.
