It was an afternoon in Munich, and the sun shone down from the clear blue sky, softening the asphalt road.
The two of them walked side by side on the sidewalk. The trees were dense and shady, and the cicadas chirped. They didn't feel hot walking under the trees.
The Alps were not far from the edge of the city, and they could see the snow on the mountain ridges. Although it was summer at the foot of the mountain, the top was covered in snow all year round. Under the summer sun, it shone brilliantly like a diamond on a crown. It was breathtaking.
Gu Nianzhi pointed to the snow-covered peak in the distance and smiled. "Professor He, it's beautiful, isn't it? I wonder if we still have time to go skiing in the mountains? "
"This is the Bavarian Mountains in the Alps, and the glaciers are more eroded. This isn't a good place to go skiing. "He Zhichu turned to look at her." You really want to go skiing? Why don't we go skiing in Switzerland after the lawsuit is over? They have the best ski resorts in the world. "
"Skiing in Switzerland?" Gu Nianzhi's eyes began to drift.
She had gone skiing with Huo Shaoheng before, but she was still young and didn't like sports.
Now she couldn't even go with Huo Shaoheng …
She sighed softly and shook her head to not let these things affect her emotions.
It was already past two in the afternoon when she finally returned to the hotel with He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi was much more energetic and didn't want to go back to her room for now. Her large eyes darted around the hotel lobby.
He Zhichu thought of something and suggested, "There's a coffee shop over there. Let's go have a seat?"
There was a black female singer singing soul music in the corner of the coffee shop. Her voice was distant and moving, like the sounds of nature.
Her singing wasn't loud, and it was like the background music of a gurgling spring.
Gu Nianzhi wasn't 21 yet, so she couldn't enter bars in Germany. However, she could still go to coffee shops.
Nodding, she followed He Zhichu into the coffee shop and sat behind a few green palm trees to enjoy a moment of leisure.
He Zhichu ordered a glass of juice for Gu Nianzhi and a cappuccino for himself, along with two small pieces of almond cheesecake.
Gu Nianzhi frowned. "Professor He, I can't eat anymore. I'm so full. "
"Have a piece with me," He Zhichu said dryly as he pushed a plate of almond cheesecake to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu's nervous expression and quietly picked up her spoon to take small bites.
He Zhichu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly finished his cake.
The waiter standing at the side hurriedly came to take away the small plate of cake.
After eating the cake, He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi didn't speak again. They just sat quietly.
Gu Nianzhi was bored to death as she held her juice and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversations around her.
Although everyone spoke very softly in such an environment, Gu Nianzhi couldn't avoid hearing them because they were so close to each other and there were only a few potted palm trees.
In particular, the people behind the palm trees were speaking English, and it was American English, so it was even easier to understand.
"John, the hunting season in the Alps is about to begin. Are you ready?"
"Are you ready?! You should be asking me how long I'm going to fight! — Let me tell you, for this hunting season, I brought enough equipment. Once I enter the mountain, I will definitely stay for two months! Don't even think about stopping me! "
"Two months?! Are you serious?! From mid-August to mid-October?! — The entire hunting season is only two months! "
A few of them were talking excitedly. They even clearly mentioned the type of shotgun they were carrying and the bullets they were carrying.
Gu Nianzhi had learned shooting from Huo Shaoheng, so she was very familiar with all types of guns. As soon as she heard them mention the Remington-M700-VTR, she knew it was a hunting rifle that was almost similar to an official sniper rifle because it was equipped with a very professional scope.
For people who knew how to use guns, they could directly replace the scope of the hunting rifle model with a special scope for a sniper rifle. This way, they could modify the hunting rifle into a real sniper rifle.
People who used this kind of hunting rifle were true cold-blooded hunters.
Not only could they hunt small animals such as foxes and badgers, but they could also hunt fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, and black bears.
Gu Nianzhi didn't speak. She quietly listened until they finished talking and left before quietly asking He Zhichu, "Professor He, what's with the hunting season in the Alps?"
"It's hunting season." He Zhichu glanced at her. "There are places in England that also have hunting season, and it attracts hunters from all over the world. Didn't you know?"
He thought Gu Nianzhi would be familiar with it since she had grown up with Huo Shaoheng.
However, Huo Shaoheng had never taken Gu Nianzhi to hunt.
To Huo Shaoheng, holding a gun meant killing people and saving people. What was the point of hunting innocent animals?
He had never been interested in it.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I don't know. I've never played it before."
"Yeah, I'll take you hunting when we have the chance." He Zhichu nodded. "I don't know much about the hunting season here, but it should be similar to England. The English hunting season is also around this time. The participating hunters ride horses and bring hunting dogs and weapons into the forest to encircle their prey. "
Gu Nianzhi looked down and took out her phone to search for information about hunting season.
She tilted her head and looked at it for a long time before clicking her tongue. "Huh, why does it look so unreliable? It feels like life and death is fated. Are people really going? "
"How can no one go for such an exciting game?" He Zhichu shook his head with a snicker. "You have to sign a life and death agreement to enter the forest during hunting season. What do you think?"
Modern civilized society still had legally recognized life and death agreements. It was a wonder in Western society.
Gu Nianzhi was only curious for a moment, but she lost interest after asking.
She and He Zhichu sat there for a while and waited for the juice and coffee to be finished before paying the bill and leaving.
They had just entered the elevator and were about to go upstairs to their rooms when He Zhichu's phone rang.
He took it out and was shocked to see it was his father calling.
His father rarely called him. Usually when he called, it was an emergency.
He Zhichu quickly picked up. "Father, what's the matter?"
He Zhichu's father said slowly over the phone, "Happy birthday, Ah-Chu."
He Zhichu's throat tightened. He couldn't speak for a long time.
"Thank you, Father." He finally managed to force out the words, but his throat was already choking.
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu curiously and was also shocked. "Professor He, it's your birthday?!"
In the small elevator, her voice was so clear and crisp that it echoed.
Senior Mr. He heard it on the other end of the line.
He frowned. "Ah-Chu, who are you with?"
