Chapter 11. The third day
Morning smelled amazing. A bit sleepy, I got out to the street, fresh air and cheer filled the lungs with happiness. Forest smell dizzy and cause euphoria. Rare villagers slept, houses slightly bundled up in the morning mist. Birds were talking about something . I am not a sport, but before shooting decided to run a little.
As a result, the site arrived breathless (if twenty kilometers overcome instead of a couple), tired (after all, the sliding speed of fingers on keyboard at me somewhat higher than the shoes on the gravel) and all alone.
Waking coach, again slept on a cot, went to utility room to choose my bow.
Anna: – Tell me, you are always so few guests? – I did not know how to choose a weapon, so trusted coach.
Andrew: – Well, it do not Turkey with their sea and All inclusive. Lovers relax in nature is somewhat smaller, and those among them who are willing to give up the benefits of civilization telephony, TV even less. When we say that you can only hunt outside territory – the last run away. So there are resting desperate romance, stars and policies that are tired of the public attention, fans of fishing or an evening around the campfire with a guitar, well, more lovers that are hidden from the built-in navigation of their wives, now know it is a very popular feature … – he chose a crossbow and he handed it to me. – well, that you have to like
Anna: – I thought it woud be a bow you know … like in the movies.
Andrew: – For a couple of weeks would be fine enough to learn to shoot from crossbow as possible. The main thing that the hands have been trained and a sharp eye. Or you're going to look for the bow?
Anna: – No, really. Of course, this is better. Tell me, the truth of it is possible to kill a rabbit with it?
Andrew: – And the hare, and the person, if desired. That is why no hunting without examination is not allowed. Of course it is desirable to require a certificate from a psychiatrist, but here people come there to rest, they are unlikely to realize in a mental hospital to drop before departure. Oh, and here is your companion. Well, wait on the street, we'll be right back with it.
I toyed with the weapon, held it in the air, I felt that it was quite heavy, resembled from side to side, and left the crossbow with arrows on the table, went to pace the territory. The street was a little chilly.
– Anna, the first thing you should remember – leave the gun unattended strictly prohibited. And if it so happens that you can not hide it in the safe, at least always take your arrows. Agreed?
I nodded. Still, I still can not get used to that this thing is not fun and the game but a serious weapon.
From classes I was thrilled, warned that I would come to training every morning. Shoulder ached, I almost did not get to the target, but the pleasure is incomparable.
Dmitry shooted if he is in the military or in war and his slip will lead defeated the entire army. He worried if he does not hit the mark, and flight of arrows past the target – the tragedy of the century.
Andrew: – You're good for a beginner- praised by his coach. – Done this before?
Dmitriy: – From crossbow is not exactly, but I hunt frequently. Ducks, grouse.
Andrew: – Well I will be glad to see you again
Chapter 12.
Music blared loudly unusual for this place, and the bus is surprisingly almost no empty seats. Margo, as always late, and we were waiting for her at the door of public transport. The driver was not nervous, as it usually happens when a tourist on a trip late, smoked and did not even look in our direction.
We were not too prepared , in our hands is not observed the mushroom baskets or packages, backpacks behind.
Margo ran up the path and unlike us on her head a cap, jacket on shoulders, behind a small backpack.
Margarita: – Did you take a knife ? – she shouted, catching her breath, stopped beside us.
Dmitriy: – No, we do prefer crossbows now, remember? – joked Dmitry
Anna: – Climb on the bus, we leave – we hastened
Margarita: We passed on the last places to sit. Margo took off cap, pulled back in a backpack and prepared the camera.
– What, you're not prepared! – she said, where are your sandwiches, blanket to spread out a picnic? You seem to have gone to inspect the Coliseum, not in the woods.
Dmitriy: – We'll borrow it all from you – he pushed her shoulder lightly.
Margarita: Uplifting music, people that talked, create a sense of the holiday. The only thing that slightly spoiled the impression – I was seasick, and this transport speed is poor.
