362 Bears

Adolf is Gloria's horse, a three-year-old Arabian horse that was brought by Will and Li Mu in the hands of the little fat man.

Since he was riding a horse, it was unlikely that he would take the train, and Li Mu asked Yan Shun to go to the train station just to confirm, mainly on the side of Chad and Rowan Houston, Chad was the police chief, and Rowan Houston was the president of the hotel association, and these two people most likely knew where Gloria went.

Li Mu then went upstairs and went to Gloria's room to see if something was missing.

There is no need to look in the closet, Li Mu doesn't know how many clothes Gloria has, mainly Gloria's weapons, Li Mu knows that Gloria has more than one gun, the "Python" detective type that Li Mu has seen is only one of them, Gloria also has at least a "Python" cavalry type revolver, and a Spencer seven-shot.

Sure enough, the cavalry-type pistol and Spencer's seven consecutive shots were gone, but strangely enough, Gloria's piggy bank was there, and there was no shortage of money inside.

Gloria is a good frugal girl, and the pocket money that Will gives Gloria, if Gloria can't use it up, will save it, and it is enough to thousands of dollars over the years.

Of course, it was mainly saved up in the past two years, and Will didn't have much money for Gloria before.

It's a bit strange to bring a gun, but no money, Gloria is not a greenhouse flower of "why not eat minced meat", this is a tough girl who can hunt wild boars, she should know the role of the dollar, even if Gloria wants to be a war correspondent, she can't do it without money.

Li Mu was analyzing where Gloria might have gone, when Mason suddenly came back to report that the patrolling security guard of the Horse Weapons Factory had met Gloria in the morning, and that Gloria had refused to be accompanied by the security guard and was heading towards Mount Greylock alone.

Mount Grayrock is part of the Appalachian Mountains, with a peak of 1,064 meters, the highest point in Massachusetts, about 50 kilometers from Springfield, and about 2,500 kilometers east of Mount Graylock, Montana.

Will was fighting the Indians in Montana.

Li Mu's scalp was a little numb, Will wanted to take Li Mu to Graylock Mountain to hunt many times, Li Mu never agreed, there are not only wolves on Grayrock Mountain, but also bears, maybe there are cougars, Li Mu doesn't want to face those big guys.

"Let's go to the factory and gather people, and we'll go to Greylock Mountain." Li Mu was decisive, quickly went upstairs to change clothes, brought weapons and prepared to go to Graylock Mountain to find Gloria.

Hopefully Gloria hasn't gone too far.

But the hope is a little slim, Adolf is a good horse, in the prime of life, Gloria is a wonderful horse, has been off for several hours, maybe now Gloria has gone out hundreds of kilometers, such a big Graylock Mountain, trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

That's going to catch it too!

As soon as he went downstairs, Li Mu found that Sandy and Chu Xue had also changed their clothes and were going to go to Gloria with Li Mu.

The Horse Weapons Factory was well staffed, and when Li Mu arrived at the Horse Weapons Factory, Zhang Leye had already organized a team of nearly 100 people.

Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, and told Zhang Leye to go to Chad and Ryan Matthew for help, and he took someone to go first.

If you want to talk about finding someone, you definitely need the official to come forward to do it, and the militia in the rifle association is very important.

Out of the horse weapons factory all the way to the east, there are not many people along the way, every time he passes a house, Li Mu always has to send someone to inquire, hoping to get news of Gloria.

A girl was indeed seen riding a tall steed all the way east.

That's right, Li Mu chased all the way, and the black horse ran out of breath.

Li Mu didn't have much chance to ride the black horse during this time, but the black horse is now a little out of shape, and he is about to become a Prometheus, and he is running cool with Li Mu today, although he is sweating profusely, but the black horse is in a good mental state, and his two big eyes are bright, sweeping away the malaise of the past.

Walking around the way, about twenty kilometers from Greylock Mountain, Chad and Ryan Matthew finally caught up with Li Mu.

"I brought 60 people with me, and if there are not enough people, I can apply for support from my superiors." Chad knew about Will and Gloria's relationship, and after getting the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and gathered almost all the police in Springfield.

"I've got fifty men with me, and I'm still gathering the men in the back, and I can bring all of Springfield's militia if I need to." Ryan Matthew hadn't yet taken up his post in New York, and the search for Gloria was his last mission in Springfield.

"Thank you-" Li Mu was not polite, and now is not the time to be polite: "Everyone work hard this time, and when I find Gloria, I will invite everyone to drink." ”

The people around applauded, everyone knew Li Mu's character, the wine must be enough, and the remuneration will definitely not be less.

"What's wrong with Gloria?" After getting back on the road, Chad looked at Li Mu with a playful gaze.

"I'm sickβ€”" Li Mu gritted his teeth and replied.

Chad probably didn't know what Li Mu was referring to the "middle two disease", but he pouted and nodded, which seemed to be deeply understood.

Chad has many brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the eldest son in the family, and now he also has a daughter, so Chad knows how nervous a child of Gloria's age is.

One thing is very strange, although Chad knows that Li Mu is also at this age, Chad does not treat Li Mu as a child.

"What are we going to do later? Greylock Hill is so bigβ€”" Chad had a numb scalp and didn't know what to do.

Mount Grayrock is part of the Appalachian Mountains, which are more than 3,000 kilometers long, and even a few thousand people are a drop in the bucket.

"Later, look for it separately along the road, for three days, and if you can't find it, you have to turn back." Li Mu asked Chad and Ryan Matthew to turn around and make up their minds that if they couldn't find it, they would go all the way to Montana.

In fact, it is easy to find in the mountains, there are only a few roads into the mountains, and there are no people in the mountains, Gloria can only make her own if she wants to eat, there are always clues to look for, if you can't see the traces of the bonfire after walking for three days, then you can basically determine that it is a fork.

"I've brought our best hunters in Springfield, and they're sure they'll find Gloria." Ryan Matthew is confident that the Rifle Association is indeed capable of producing talents.

"Thank you, it's hard work this time-" Li Mu was sincerely grateful, when he arrived in the mountains, Li Mu's black belly was completely useless, and he was still a trustworthy hunter.

"You're welcome, Will and I are old friends." Ryan Matthew is positive, Li Mu has now grown into a towering tree, and now there is a chance to hug Li Mu's thigh, Ryan Matthew does not want to miss the opportunity.

In fact, it was not so troublesome, and before he reached the foot of the mountain, Mason, who had played the front station, sent someone to report quickly, and Gloria found it.

Li Mu tried his best to make himself look fierce and vicious, and walked forward with a fierce attitude.

Gloria was next to an oak grove with a giant North American brown bear lying at her feet.

In fact, it should be said that it is a North American grizzly bear, this is a big guy, the body length is more than two meters, and the weight must be more than three hundred pounds, and the hunters who followed Ryan Matthew are secretly tongued.

Li Mu forgot the purpose and asked dumbfounded, "You hit it?" ”

Gloria was proud, and her posture with a rifle was indeed like that of an old hunter: "It's not me, who else!" Now you should take my word for it, I can take care of myself. ”

It's not a matter of taking care of it at all, okay-

Although he felt the green tendons on his temples jumping again, in front of so many people, Li Mu couldn't reprimand Gloria, so he had to be patient first: "Very good, I admit that you have the ability to protect yourself, but don't think about it, I will never allow you to be a war correspondent, unless you can get Will's permission." ”

Don't even think about this, Li Mu knows how much Will loves the two sisters Gloria and Sandy, and if Gloria proposes to Will to be a war correspondent, Will will tear Gloria's friend to shreds.

At this time, it was late, and it was unrealistic to return to Springfield, not to mention whether people could hold it, the horses were exhausted, and people and horses needed to rest, because when they came, they took into account that they had to spend the night in the mountains and carried tents and food, so there was no problem with food and accommodation, and a few hunters disliked that the food was not fresh, and took the initiative to go into the mountains to hunt a few caribou and wild turkeys, and a bunch of people held a barbecue party around the bonfire, which also had a unique flavor.

Gloria had acted in a play at school and had a very good voice, so a group of people encouraged Gloria to sing.

Gloria is not stage frightened, she sings one after another, and they are all classic songs sung by Li Mu, which are very popular for a while.

In those days, there were no gramophones, but if there were gramophones, they would be able to train Gloria to become a singer, and the records would be very good.

Li Mu decided to send a telegram to Antonio Meucci when he went back.

"It's a very good song, I heard that you wrote it?" Ryan Matthew came to Li Mu with two glasses of wine.

Although it was already May, it was still a little cold at night in the mountains, so it was normal to drink some wine, and hunters were accustomed to bringing wine with them when they entered the mountains.

"Not exactly, but a lot of it was done by me." Li Mu finally wants to nod face, many of these songs have prototypes, if they leak in the future, it will be a shame.

"That's pretty good, too, but I have to say, it's a pity a good bearskin." Ryan Matthew handed Li Mu a cup and sat down beside Li Mu by the way.

May is not a good time to hunt bears, as bears have just finished hibernation, their bodies are depleted of their fat stores, and their fur is not bright enough.

Although Gloria can take out a bear, her marksmanship is not as good as she says, and the part of the bear that the bear is shot in the chest, which greatly reduces the value of the bearskin.

Fortunately, there are bear's paws to look forward to.
