Chapter 203 Susie: Audrey, how is my acting?
It felt that it should pretend to faint now, just like Audrey would use this trick every time she didn't want to deal with people, and the effect was very good.
After several observations, it felt that it had also learned this skill of pretending to faint, but it just never had the chance to use it.
Right now is a good opportunity.
Under the gazes of Audrey, Hastur, and Gray Lint.
Susie first took small steps to leave the shadow area and came to a place where the sun could shine. Then her trotting speed became slower and slower. Finally, after taking two hard steps, her front legs gave out and her whole body fell forward, unable to pull up. His eyelids looked weakly at Audrey for the last time and then closed.
It has observed Audrey many times, and each time Audrey would first pretend to be uncomfortable, and then pretend to faint in front of everyone.
Every time he did this, the people around him would exclaim. They were afraid that something would go wrong with Audrey, so they would ask her to suspend her activities and go back to her room to rest.
"..."
"..."
"Susie, something doesn't look right."
The person who exclaimed was Gray Linte, the person who looked speechless trying to hide his embarrassment was Audrey, the person who twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and tried not to laugh was Hasta.
Susie's performance was as flawless as it thought it was, perfect.
But Audrey, a master of pretending to faint, could already read Susie's thoughts from her eyes.
Hastur observed the details, and Susie's clumsy and heavily imitated performance could not be hidden from his eyes.
Did Susie apply what she learned from Audrey?
Hastur looked at Audrey, and Audrey turned slightly to avoid Hastur seeing the embarrassed look on her face.
She also didn't expect that Susie would use the tactic of pretending to faint, and the acting was very clumsy, so she could deceive Gray Linte.
"Susie is really smart and she learns really fast."
Listening to Hastur's meaningful words, Audrey felt her cheeks burning. She didn't dare to be alone with Hastur anymore, and followed Gray Linte to the place where Susie fainted.
When she came to Susie's side, Audrey secretly gritted her teeth. If no one was present, she would definitely kick Susie in the butt and make her pretend to faint!
Sensing that someone was coming, Susie started her performance again. First she twitched a few times, foaming from the corners of her mouth. Then she opened her weak eyes, reluctantly glanced at Audrey, and then closed her eyes again, with a peaceful look on her face. .
"Susie..."
Audrey looked at the dramatic golden retriever still acting and felt really embarrassed for it.
When Gray Linte wasn't paying attention, she quietly stretched out her right foot and kicked Susie to signal her not to go too far.
Unexpectedly, Susie became more and more energetic. Not only did she pretend to faint, she also deliberately let out a soft whimper of suppressed sadness.
"..."
Audrey covered her face with her hands, feeling really ashamed.
She felt that after today's incident, her image in Mr. Hastur's heart would definitely change again.
"Hey, Susie's situation doesn't look too bad."
Gray Lint knelt down and took a closer look, roughly observing Susie's true situation.
Very healthy, not sick at all.
Audrey suggested: "Graylint, Susie is no longer alive. Let's throw her into the water and let her stay here forever."
"It's better to bury it in the soil. If you keep soaking in water, your body will become swollen. That way of death will be too ugly and disgusting." Hasta came over and added a sentence.
"How could you do this? Susie won't..."
Before Grayling finished speaking, he saw Susie quickly getting up, shaking herself up, and wagging her tail towards Audrey to please her.
"Susie, you can actually fake your death!"
Gray Linte exclaimed that he just talked to Audrey just to let Hauge compete with Susie, but Susie gave him a blow immediately.
With such superb acting skills, even he was deceived. This was so smart!
"Woof woof."
Susie ignored Glalint, who was now concentrating on pleasing Audrey, who was not in a very beautiful mood.
"It's okay." Audrey gave Susie a look that said she would go back and take care of you.
"Woof..."
Susie shrugged her head and followed Audrey. She couldn't figure out why she couldn't deceive Audrey even though her acting skills were fine.
After this episode, Gray Linte temporarily gave up the idea of competing with Susie.
The three of them rested for a while by the waterhole. Earl Hall also came, walking briskly and in a happy mood.
Thinking that when the three of them chose to rest, he gained a lot.
Everyone had already arrived, and Hasta asked the people following him to bring them tea and snacks, and simply enjoy afternoon tea.
"Unfortunately, the forests here are too dense to allow horses to gallop. It would be interesting to hunt in plains or areas with sparse trees."
Earl Hall was quite moved, and then gave Hastur and Graylint a brief introduction to the scene of real noble hunting activities.
If it is a hunting activity organized by the royal family, there can be as many as hundreds of hounds in groups. The nobles sit on horses and drive groups of hounds to chase the prey. The shotguns in their hands are weapons to compete with each other.
Each hunting trip can last for several days, camping in the wild at night and grilling the prey caught during the day.
Noble ladies and noble ladies sang and danced around the bonfire. Wine and guns were all that a hunting event required.
When talking about the rise, Earl Hall explained to Hastur and others his heroic deeds in his youth, such as how many prey he caught or how accurate his marksmanship was.
Hastur thought that if Audrey wasn't here and gave Earl Hall some wine, he might have brought up the love affairs of his youth as a topic of conversation.
Audrey just listened with a smile and did not stop Earl Hall from talking about the past events of his youth.
Hastur and Graylint naturally did not stop them and listened silently.
Fortunately, Earl Hall was very measured and took the initiative to skip some topics every time, which not only aroused the interest of Hastur and Gray Linte, but also did not arouse Audrey's resentment.
After resting for about an hour, Earl Hall stood up, blew a whistle, and led the three hounds toward the dense forest.
Upon seeing this, Gray Linte hurriedly followed. He had to hunt quickly in the second half of the time, and he must not be left empty-handed again.
Audrey glanced at Susie, who had no fighting spirit or interest, and had no intention of continuing the hunt. She planned to stay here and take a walk around the area.
Hastur and the beagle headed towards Earl Hall. Since he planned to give away the beagle, he naturally wanted Earl Hall to see its potential.
"Susie, let's take a walk."
"Woof."
Seeing that Audrey was no longer angry, Susie hurriedly followed Audrey's footsteps.
"Susie, do you think you will encounter a witch living on a high tower in a forest like this?"
"Woof?"
"Susie, what do you think we go exploring where there are no people?"
"Woof."
"It's rare that you are also interested in this. Let's go."
Audrey chose a direction where the trees were taller, and Susie followed behind her, wagging her tail.
After walking forward for about twenty minutes, a faint mist seemed to rise around us.
Audrey didn't pay too much attention to it at first. When she discovered that the attendants and maids behind her had disappeared without knowing it, and only Susie was by her side, she felt a sense of crisis.
Inside the forest, heavy fog will occasionally rise. As long as you don't move around randomly and stay in place for a while, the fog will dissipate.
Once you wander around, it's easy to stray deeper into the forest.
"Susie, we seem to be in trouble."
Audrey frowned slightly as she looked at the thickening fog.
"Susie, what if we get trapped here and can't get back?"
"Will some mysterious creature suddenly appear and attack us?"
"Is it possible that we might encounter elves living deep in the forest?"
Audrey talked a lot, looking very worried about the situation at hand, but also looking forward to what would happen.
Susie came to Audrey's feet and was silent for a while before whispering: "Audrey, I still remember the way here."
"..."
Audrey's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly.
"You shouldn't put too much fantasy into a situation that is so obvious."
"..."
"It's impossible for elves to appear here."
"..."
Seeing that Susie was about to continue talking, Audrey interrupted what she was going to say next, "Susie, you are just a dog, you can't talk casually."
"Woof."
Susie barked very wisely, and the expression on Audrey's face became more complicated.
After almost five minutes, the attendants and maids came over from behind, and the surrounding fog gradually dispersed.
The so-called foggy environment ushered in reality at this moment.
Audrey looked at the increasingly clear scenery and sighed in disappointment.
She still hadn't waited for the adventure she'd dreamed of, let alone met the legendary elf.
…
At night, Hastur and others met at the entrance of the forest.
The one with the most hunting results was Earl Hall, Hastur was still in second place, and Gray Linte tied for third place with Audrey with a silly roe deer.
"You sure are a good beagle."
Earl Hall gave the beagle a very good evaluation, and Hastur also took this opportunity to give the beagle to Earl Hall to complete this bribery.
