Little Life on An American Ranch

After seeing off Rebecca, Jian Heng brought the black beans back to the lake again. Just as the brush was lifted up, the mobile phone on the shore rang again.

He picked it up and found that it was Catherine Anderson's phone, that is, the manly widow with a strong personality who was familiar with Old Walsh and Jian Heng.

"Jin! There are cattle thieves nearby, I'll let you know." Catherine waited for the phone call, and immediately talked about the cattle thieves to Jian Heng.

Jian Heng heard from Rebecca that he hadn't paid much attention to it. Generally speaking, cattle thieves always shot to change places. After committing a crime, they immediately slipped away. Now it seems that this group of people are very courageous. Ruthless!

But when he heard what Catherine said, he couldn't help but pay attention to it: "Another house was stolen?"

"I'm talking about the Eagle Ranch in North Africa, which one do you think it is?" Catherine asked curiously.

Jian Heng said: "I just heard Rebecca from O'Brien's family talk about this matter, and she just left."

Jian Heng is embarrassed to say, I knew there were cattle thieves but I didn't pay attention to them, and I didn't think to inform you at the first time.

Catherine also hummed.

"How much did the North African Eagle lose?" Jian Hengduo asked.

"A dozen or so, their ranch was stolen yesterday afternoon, and the news came out just now!" Catherine opened her mouth and said.

As mentioned earlier, cattle stealing is a small group, and if there are more than 20 cattle, it is a large gang of cattle stealing.

In a place as vast and sparsely populated as Montana, the difficulty of stealing cattle is not in stealing, but in transportation.

What age is it now? If the cattle thief only relied on manpower to drive the cattle, then the ranch where the cattle were lost would bring dogs, neighbors and friends, and ride horses, and the cattle thief would be caught in a short time.

Now cattle thieves use carts to transport cattle, and usually not one, but several small trailers together to spread the stolen cattle, several in one cart, several in one cart, so that people can easily find them. Hard to find.

Because Montana is too vast and sparsely populated, if it is transported in small batches by car, it will not be able to block the highway alone.

"I see!" Jian Heng nodded solemnly.

Putting down the phone, Jian Heng remembered that there was still a troublesome thing waiting for him about his own cattle, starting from the time when the cattle were bought,

Jian Heng didn't mark the cattle with the pasture mark, and there was no other way to identify them except for changing the ear tags.

Now that there is the threat of cattle thieves, Jian Heng has to think about making up for the unfinished work.

Now Jian Heng stopped brushing the horse, and directly called to arrange for Zhang Jialiang to go to the city to buy liquid nitrogen. After cleaning the horse in twos and twos, he wiped his feet and was going to go back to change the horse and drive the cow back to the pen early. Branding.

Just when Jian Heng was about to take the black beans back to change horses, he suddenly heard the cry of the big cow. The cry was long and loud, as if he had discovered some danger.

Jian Heng didn't care about anything else when he heard it, he stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the saddle, turned onto Heidou's back, stretched out his hand and patted Heidou's neck: "Let's go and have a look!"

Hei Dou suddenly sat on a person. Hei Dou was a little uncomfortable, but he was stunned for a few seconds. When the big cow's loud moo sounded again, Hei Dou immediately raised all four hooves towards the big cow. The place ran over.

Heidou was running with all his strength. At the beginning, Heidou didn't start fast, and his acceleration was average. But fortunately, this guy has good stamina. After running about four to five hundred meters, Heidou's speed increased. Jian Heng's ear It started to get wind. At this time, Heidou was still slowly accelerating. All the conditions showed that Heidou was a great long-distance horse.

It's just that Jian Heng is not in the mood to care about Heidou at this time, but is worried about the situation at Daniel's side, wondering if he has encountered the aforementioned cattle thief.

While riding the horse and galloping wildly, Jian Heng took out a long gun from the space. The long gun, which was loaded with bullets, was picked up by Jian Heng in his hand, and his courage couldn't help but grow stronger.

As for why the spear was taken out, it was just in case something happened to the cattle thief.

It is not uncommon to have a gun battle with a cattle thief. The old cowboys are not polite to those who steal cattle into the pasture. Although they are rarely killed, things that injure cattle thieves happen from time to time. , and let alone wounding the cattle thief here, even if killing him, the rancher is usually a little troublesome.

If the cattle thief is still carrying a gun, he will be killed if he is killed, because the cattle thief enters with a gun without invitation, and the owner has the right to protect his own rights.

As he got closer to Daniel's cry, Jian Heng kept calling Daniel, Erhu and Qianlong in his heart, hoping that the three of them could approach him.

When Jian Heng rode the black beans to the top of the small slope, he found that the mixed herd of cattle, sheep and deer led by Da Niu was trotting towards him along the valley.

There is nothing strange about these. What is strange is that above the herd of cattle, at a height of about ten meters, there is a snow-white suspended-wing drone.

This kind of drone is much smaller than the one played by Nathan. It is the common kind that can hover, has four propellers, and hangs a camera.

Seeing this drone, Jian Heng immediately searched around, and soon located a small forest outside the ranch.

And at this moment, apparently the guy who controlled the drone also found Jian Heng, and the drone that was following the herd immediately turned around and flew back, and the flying direction happened to be the grove that Jian Heng guessed.

At this time, Jian Heng immediately took out the phone, raised the gun in his hand at the same time, and fired a shot into the sky.

boom!

A gunshot immediately echoed over the pasture.

As soon as the phone call was made, Jian Heng immediately said: "Catherine, someone from my side is flying a small camera drone on my ranch. I suspect it's the group of cattle thieves!"

"Where is it?" Catherine asked immediately.

Jian Heng reported the general location and hung up the phone, then ran towards the grove with a gun in hand.

Following Jian Heng's phone call, two or three minutes later, almost all the ranchers in the vicinity got the news. They all picked up their guns as quickly as possible, and mounted their horses with live ammunition.

Some people headed towards the place Jian Heng said, while some people surrounded them on the possible way.

It has to be said that the military literacy of these American cowboys is really not covered.

At this time, even the O'Brien family, which had always been at odds with everyone, and the nearby corporate ranch had cowboys involved.

Just as Jian Heng rushed towards the grove, the drone in the sky suddenly started spinning like a headless fly, and fell to the ground in a short while.

At this time, Jian Heng was not interested in watching the drone, so he rode the black beans and ran towards the grove. At a distance of about a few hundred meters, Jian Hengben dared not walk in a straight line.

Afraid of being hacked, Jian Heng walked in a zigzag with great experience.

At this time, Jian Heng really felt a bit possessed by a cowboy, and he didn't feel any fear in his heart. He only wanted to catch this cow thief and use the most effective method he knew to avoid danger.

He completely forgot that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he still has a secret space.

The horse ran in a zigzag shape, and naturally had to slow down. Heidou is not a magical horse, and he can walk in a zigzag without slowing down. When Jian Heng reached the edge of the fence, facing the fence that was half the height of a person, he was thinking about how to get over. I saw that Heidou turned around by himself, walked away from the fence by about twenty meters, and then rushed to the fence at a high speed. With a sharp kick of the rear hoof, the whole body of the horse jumped high into the air, Just jumped over the fence.

"I rely on it!"

During the whole process, Jian Heng's eyes were wide open, until the black beans fell to the ground, Jian Heng still had an incredulous expression on his face: at the height of half a person, how could a black bean jump over without training?

snore!

Heidou snorted, as if to show off what he had just done.

The sound of the nose called Jian Heng back, and urged Heidou to check the grove. As a cowboy, Jian Heng quickly found the location of the person who controlled the drone just now by relying on some barely hidden traces.

Now there is only trampled grass on the field, and there is also a remote control machine that has been destroyed. It may be too hasty to leave, and the remote control looks like it was just cracked.

Putting away the gun, Jian Heng got down from Heidou's back, just as he was about to reach out and pick up the cracked remote controller to look at it, he suddenly remembered that it was dirty, and there might be a cow thief's fingerprints on it of.

He didn't reach for it, but Jian Heng took a closer look curiously, and as expected, he saw the name of a big Chinese manufacturer on it.

When Jian Heng was looking at the drone, the sound of horseshoes gradually sounded in the distance. With Jian Heng's ear strength, he could be sure that it was definitely not something that could be caused by two horses or five or six horses.

Throwing the broken remote controller into the space with his hands, Jian Heng stepped onto Heidou's back again.

As soon as he got back on the horse, Jian Heng opened his eyes and saw more than a dozen horses galloping towards him, and these dozen of horses were accompanied by seven or eight big cattle dogs.

despair! despair! despair!

The rapid sound of horseshoes and the barking cattle dogs, let alone the momentum looks a bit huge.

Jayden Morey ran at the front of the team. Their family mainly raised sheep. The old guy was fat and didn't fit in with Old Walsh.

"Where are people?"

Jie Dun came to Jian Heng's side and asked curiously.

"There is no one, but I found this." Jian Heng picked up a small stick at this time, and picked up the remote control handle of the drone that was trampled through the crack.

"There might be fingerprints on it!" Jian Heng said.

Hearing Jian Heng's words, a group of old cowboys were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing collectively.

"Do you think our small police station here can use things like fingerprints?" An old cowboy asked with a smile.

Jian Heng frowned and said, "It won't be the same as before, two tables with a small iron cage?"

Seeing their expressions after speaking, Jian Heng understood that the police station here has hardly changed since he left. What.
