MTL - Little Life on An American Ranch-Chapter 661 go with the flow

  Chapter 661 Follow the crowd

  Woke up in the morning, Jian Heng changed his clothes and was ready to ride a horse. As soon as he came out of the bedroom and came to the living room, he found that the little girl Ning Ning ran to the living room at some time, wearing the pink pajamas of a little cartoon horse. The girl didn't play with Pooh, but put her whole body on Pooh's back, and was taking a nap beautifully.

  Jian Heng was just about to say something when he saw that Mai Mai had already brought a small blanket over, saw himself handing the blanket into his hand, and then pouted at the sleeping Ning Ning.

  Carefully covering the younger sister with the blanket, Jian Heng asked softly at Mai: "When did the little guy sleep here?"

  Mait shook his head: "We were here when we got up, and we don't know the exact time."

   The couple didn't discuss this issue in depth. The little girl can sleep however she wants. Anyway, there is heating in the whole room, so she can't be frozen.

Going out, Barley and Wheat's mounts were already waiting, and Jian Heng's black beans were still huddled in the stable and refused to come out. Seeing that both Barley and Wheat were saddled, Jian Heng could only sigh and let his daughter-in-law Amidst their ridicule, they stepped on the snow and walked towards the stables step by step.

When I arrived at the stable, I found that the black beans had already left the cubicle, and now five of them were stealing oats from other people's troughs, and when the other horses refused to let them go, it actually threatened others aggressively and kept snorting He sprayed at others, stepped on the floor with his front hooves, and even opened his mouth to try to bite others.

   Turning around, he saw Jian Heng, the master, entered the stable, and was jumping and jumping. He was so cheap, he was a spoiled child.

"You're only promising at this point. Let's make trouble. You won't be able to make trouble for a few days. When these horses are no longer used and resold, you will no longer be able to show off your prestige." Jian Heng didn't know what to say about Heidou All right.

Black Dou can only bully Kuat and so on. As for Luoshan Woodhorse, he can’t bully him, because almost all Luoshan Woodhorse can open the gate. Occasionally, there are one or two that don’t open, not because they can’t, Or they are obsessed with their own cubicles, or they are a little mentally ill.

   Called Heidou over, and took out his own special saddle from the saddle room. The harness was briefly cleaned by Heidou, and then he threw the saddle on.

  Out of the stables, he stepped onto the black beans and Jian Heng ran forward along the opened snow path. After running for about ten minutes, he saw barley and wheat riding together.

I got close to the two of them and just opened my mouth to ask, when I saw the dead body of a pheasant at the place where the two stopped, it can no longer be called a dead body, it is more appropriate to say that it is a remnant body, besides the head of the chicken, there are some bits and pieces of chicken feathers There is nothing left, if you come later, there will be no chicken heads left.

  Now is the season when the mountains are covered by heavy snow. At this time, any animal that wastes food will not end well, so you can usually see some fragmented pheasant carcasses, and now this is the only thing left.

   "What are you looking at, what's so interesting about a dead pheasant?" Jian Heng pulled the rein in his hand and asked standing side by side with the two women.

  Barley pointed at the pheasant: "It was bitten by a wolf!"

  Jian Heng glanced at the dead pheasant again, and found that there were indeed some traces left by wolves on the ground, but the wolf was not big, at most a half-sized wolf cub, and it was estimated that he could come out to hunt after he came out of the nest.

   "SO?"

   Jian Heng asked a rhetorical question.

  Balley said: "The wolves have finally moved to our pasture!"

  Jian Heng smiled and said: "No, how can I be so unlucky!"

What Barley said meant that the wolves had finally discovered the grand occasion of the winter in the Silent Lake Ranch. On the snow-covered ground, plump pastures had already drilled out of the ground, luring countless herbivores, no matter big or small. The small ones, of course, the most important ones are the small ones, which are easy to get through the fence to eat here. If there are herbivores, carnivores will naturally come here to smell the fragrance.

   To put it simply, the weak meat and strong food completed on the Quiet Lake Ranch in winter is N times more than other pastures.

   "This is not something to laugh at." Damai finished speaking and glared at Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng listened to Haha and said happily repeatedly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

  Wheat said: "How about we put something outside the pasture for the wolves to eat?"

When Jian Heng heard it, he just wanted to stop it, but then he thought that everyone else had thrown it away. If he didn't throw the wolves away at all, it would be too conspicuous. Not to mention anything else, even Old Walsh The old-fashioned cowboys secretly throw some offal outside the ranch from time to time when no one is around, so don't be too picky.

  Barley said: "I think this idea is good."

  Jian Heng saw that Barley and Wheat were both looking at him, and immediately said: "I support your decision, but I won't throw it away. It's too lost. If you want to throw it, you two should throw it away."

  Wheat said: "There is no shame in this matter now. Many people have discussed this matter openly in bars. It is not like half a year ago. When it came to feeding wolves, everyone was downcast."

  Jian Heng thought about it for a while and felt that what Mai Mai said was right. Half a year ago, everyone treated the wolves and the wolf king quickly, but now it seems that not many people have publicly shown their deep-rooted hatred for the wolf king and the wolf pack. Jian Heng felt that this was in line with an old saying: After kneeling for a long time, I don’t feel like I’m kneeling anymore. These old ranchers seem to be afraid of being tormented by wolves. Back to rotten meat, lest the wolves come from the home ranch is a good deal.

It’s okay to be dissatisfied. There are a few role models out there now. Whether it’s the North African Eagle or the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company, they are all in a state of distress. This year, their two ranches are destined to lose money. And there are still a lot of losses, as far as the eye can see, take the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company as an example. The cattle herd is less than one-third of the original, but the cowboys are No less than forty people have been added, so it is a ghost if it is not a loss.

   "Anyway, I won't do it, if you want to do it, you do it." Jian Heng shook his hand directly.

  Balley listened and looked at Jian Heng for a while and said nothing, meaning that he and Mai would do this by himself.

The three members of the family discussed this matter and came to a conclusion, and continued to trot forward along the shoveled fence snow track, and soon formed two groups from a single file, with barley and wheat in front, and Jian Heng gradually fell down.

There is no way around this. Black Bean is not happy to walk side by side with Sierra II and Fire Lily II, because it does not dare to provoke the two horses. Rockywood horses are smart because they know how to cooperate, that is to say If there is a fight, two horses who get along well will beat the opposing side together, which is a bit like the loyalty of buddies among horses, or they are gang members among horses.

Black Dou is smart, but it's a pity that it has a temperament of two hundred and five, and it doesn't have a good relationship with any horse, so it's okay to bully the more mentally handicapped Quarter, Morgan horse and the like, and want to bully the Rockywood horse. It's so far away, the tiger is still afraid of wolves, not to mention that the Rocky Wood horse is also a tiger or a wolf.

Jian Heng is also used to it, hanging on the barley and wheat and trotting behind the horse's buttocks, as long as he maintains his body movement and keeps making waves with the black beans, Jian Heng can maintain his body strength. Temperature, against the cold weather outside.

   After running for a while, Jian Heng couldn't reach his family's herd. Barley and Qianlong were still the same, and they took the whole herd to scatter on a newly rolled out pasture.

Supervisor Toby now has a lot of experience in winter pasture care, such as snow shoveling. He requires his cowboys to only push the snow up to 20 centimeters from the ground, and let Makiguchi pick up the rest of the snow Eat snow, which not only protects the pasture, but also saves a little effort when backfilling.

  In a word, Toby's family has put in much more effort than Jian Hengda in the management of pasture animals and grass, and they have put in too much effort. Of course, now Toby has washed away his previous reputation as a coward. On the contrary, his old colleague Sam, who used to be a brave Sam, is now a representative of self-control. What's more ruthless, that's what winners and losers are talking about.
