Contract Marriage With Mysterious President
Chapter 281 Joy in the Mountain

Amy was jolted awake by a lasting knocking noise. Glimpsing at the time, she found herself sleeping for an hour, so she regarded the noise as an alarm for waking herself up. While answering the knock, she opened the door, seeing a little girl standing in front of the door, who was around 18 or 19 years old and looked pure and sweet.

"Hello! Since you are going to check the topography there, this is a must for you, because it works well for repelling mosquitoes." The girl handed her a mosquito-repellent.

"Ah, OK! Thanks a lot! I'll go downstairs after changing my clothes." She took the repellent and realized that she missed it from the list. She knew it before and often bought it since it was effective, but she was unaware of anyone here who also used such a brand.

Amy dressed up herself, wearing a black T-shirt, pants and running shoes. Having sprayed the repellent to herself up and down, she put on a backpack, in which two bottles of mineral water and some snacks were packed up, going downstairs.

Without Ugly around her, Amy treated herself casually.

Richard and the vice mayor were already downstairs waiting for her. Richard shouldered a knapsack which was too big to know what was in it.

The vice mayor also wore a backpack, so did the village chief and that little girl.

"OK! We can set off since everyone seems ready now." Seeing Amy going down, the vice mayor summoned them to get ready.

It was said that Belle Mountain boasted various views in different periods of time. The scenery in the afternoon and evening would be appreciated today while the view in the morning tomorrow. Everyone would prepare for going back in the afternoon. It seemed that because of something changed temporarily from the vice mayor, the schedule of the trip was fully arranged.

Hearing upon his summon, everyone stepped forward with great expectation.

Situated at the foot of the mountain, Belle Village was surrounded by verdant trees and hid behind an ocean forest. The air here was amazingly fresh, as if one were benefited a lot from breathing it, since the village was considered as a natural oxygen bar.

While they were roaming around, not only did green plants capture their eyes, but also wild and colorful blooms on the ground, which Amy was pretty fond of. The green grassland was compared to a thick carpet decorated with some tiny flowers, which inspired Amy, when she came back, to customize such a charming carpet which should appear attractive.

"We can start going hunting a few steps forward. Someone here has prepared bow and arrow. The hares in the mountain grow way too fast to control. Therefore, we look forward to someone who comes here for hunting at least some of them so that our crops would be more productive." said the village chief to them.

It sounded cruel for Amy to shoot hares dead. Why should such an adorable creature be shot dead?

"Any other optimal solutions? Is it a must to kill them?" She still could not accept the fact.

"They are wild rabbits that grow way too fast. Look at the cropland and vegetation at that side! The stalks were gnawed dead so did the crops. We were also confused about how to tackle it better. In fact, hares are not so cute as you watched on TV. On the contrary, they are seen as a disaster here in our village." said the village chief to them.

Amy should have felt pleasant with hares until she heard what the village chief complained about. In addition, it was grief to witness the damaged croplands.

While they were talking, some hares were hanging out, which seemed to show off their courage.

"Village chief, we have prepared 5 bows and you can start shooting hares now." Someone brought them to him.

"In my opinion, it could become one of an entertainment project. If the resort were invested on, we could circle here, giving tourists access to shooting hares for fun." The vice mayor took the bow, giving such a suggestion to Amy and Richard.

"Yes, I also agree with it." Richard said to him, showing his great interest.

However, Amy did not air her own view, because it seemed that she could not temporarily approve hares to be shot dead. She still could not put up with the fact that an alive hare would be killed by herself in the flesh.

"I don't need them now, thanks." She did not take the bow, but Richard did so. He tried to pull it, feeling it rough but handy.

"You can start your shooting here. The aimed hares could be used in different ways. You could either stir-fry them or bake them, which is also a sort of entertainment projects. A sense of achievement would arise if you baked the hares you shot dead on your own." suggested by the village chief.

Since these projects sounded lighthearted, Amy gradually yielded to the ideas.

A few steps forward were indeed a herd of hares, some of which even dared to flee here and there around people's feet, not afraid of them at all.

However, they ran so fast that it seemed easy to lose sight of them.

"OK! Let's start shooting soon!" The village chief and the little girl pulled the bow, aimed at the hares and shot for a while.

Nevertheless, since hares were such a cunning creature, they were never easy meat to aim at. Over and over again, no one managed to shoot one dead at all. "Gee! A hare over there! There it is!" Amy sounded wired when she saw no hares were shot successfully. Meanwhile, a crave for shooting plummeted in her mind. "Pass me a bow, please." She said to that man. Then, his hand reached her from behind, bringing it to her.

With the arrow, she also aimed at an idling hare and let the arrow fly, but she failed, either.

By contrast, she grew much more interest in shooting, continuously walking behind the hares, because the desire of winning soared up and it would be better to shoot one hare dead.

In the mountain existed few giant beasts, but many hares and some harmless small creatures. However, sometimes there were only a few snakes in the mountain so that the village chief didn't warm them of it. Followed by Richard now and then, Amy chased after the hare. While running, she spotted a white hare sliding into the cavern and decided to go behind.

Suddenly, the strong wind buffeted against her, while grey clouds were gathering in a blink and a blast of thunder was bellowing over her head. Hearing upon the thunderbolt, she hurried to look for someone help, but ended up with no one around her. Going astray, she trembled at the thunderbolt the most, and she was cast into hopelessness. The weather in the mountain was so unpredictable that it changed easily.

As she was in a daze, all of a sudden, someone hugged her from behind, moving right towards the cave.
