Little Life on An American Ranch

Jim listened to Colter talk about wolf hunting. Although they were all Americans, Jim grew up in the cinema. He went on a vacation or something. His father either took him to the beach, or to Europe, or that The kind that looks particularly tall. Let's just say that on Jim's childhood vacations, Frank either took him to a museum or was on his way there.

Therefore, Jim has not been exposed to much American cowboy culture. The United States has such a long history, and there are no antiques worth mentioning.

Colter is also a guy who can talk. Talking about his wolf hunting is like a storyteller.

Jim’s listening mood was all written on his face. When Colter said it was dangerous, he was worried. It seemed that not only Chinese tourists were full of yearning for cowboys, but there were also many cowboy fans among Americans.

For example Jim now.

Jian Heng knows how to hunt wolves. It is far less thrilling than what Colter said. It is nothing more than tolerating the strange smell and some strange bugs in the mountains. If you are bitten by them, your fun will be When you get older, what you need to fight wolves is actually patience.

But Jian Heng saw that Jim and He Ye were quite involved in listening. It was just these two people, and even He Ye's bodyguard showed curious eyes from time to time. So Jian Heng couldn't bear to spoil their interest, so he just let Colt talk nonsense.

Jian Heng could bear it, but Old Walsh couldn't stand it anymore. Even if it was his son who was bragging, he decided not to bear it anymore, because the old man felt that if he endured it any longer, he would definitely vomit.

So the old Walsh cleared his throat, interrupted his bragging son Colt, and said directly to He Ye and the two: "The wolf hunting is not as complicated as he said, there are only three steps in total. The first step is to find out where the wolf is, the second is to aim the gun at the wolf's head, and the third is to pull the trigger and kill it!".

A good story is no longer interesting at the end of the old Walsh, I have to say that the old guy is really first-rate when it comes to talking about disappointment.

Jim shook his head: "Your story isn't called a story anymore, it's just a piece of Jane's news!"

"Besides the smell of steak, all other tastes of life on the ranch can be classified into one: the smell of cow dung!" Old Walsh followed up with an even more disappointing remark.

Old Walsh didn't like these city boys with "greasy hair and flour noodles" very much, so after taking a look at Jim, the mustache on the corner of his mouth began to be a little picky.

Seeing his expression, Jian Heng knew that the old man was a little upset.

"By the way, when will your family drive the cattle to the winter pasture? If it's later, I'll go back to China to deal with some things." Jian Heng immediately changed the topic to the real thing.

Old Walsh replied: "Isn't your ranch very busy now? I heard that another group of people will come! I thought you wouldn't have time, so I was going to invite others, but now is the season of transition. Please, I just made a verbal appointment with a cowboy who is free before winter, if you come over, then I can ask Catherine to borrow someone, so that I can move first."

Lao Wo originally wanted to ask Jian Heng to help, but he heard that the group of people in front of Jian Heng had not left and would stay for another month, so he stopped thinking about it and asked others to help, so as not to delay them from making a lot of money. .

Old Walsh still has this awareness.

"There is no conflict between the two! I can help!" Jian Heng said very simply.

Hearing what Jian Heng said, the old Walsh immediately became happy. The problem that had been a headache seemed to have a way all of a sudden. It's no wonder the old man was not happy.

thought about it. Old Walsh asked: "We can move whenever you are free. I thought you wouldn't be able to spare time. Now that you have time, Catherine has something to do these days. If you don’t want to move, then we’d better drive the cattle to the winter pasture before Catherine’s cattle move.”

"Driving cattle? Where are you going?..."

Jim heard the conversation between Old Walsh and Jian Heng, and then asked Colt who was stabbed by his father.

So Colter simply told Jim about the transition of the family's cattle this year. As for what transition was, the kid started bragging again.

Once he heard that the transition was so interesting, so western movie-like, Jim felt that his chance to experience the life of a cowboy had come.

Turning to Jian Heng, he asked, "Why don't we go into the mountains and go to the scene with them? Can you experience the upright cowboy life?"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at He Ye, it seemed that he hoped to get He Ye's support.

When Colter heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He hoped that Jian Heng could help, but he was definitely not in the mood to bring three rookies to the scene, that guy was too tiring.

It doesn't matter to Jian Heng, of course, it's better to be able to do the two things of playing with him and transitioning together, so that he can go back to China earlier, as the old saying goes, returning home without being developed is like traveling at night in brocade clothes.

Now thinking of his hometown, Jian Heng's heart is a little restless.

"You guys? Can you drive cattle? Not to mention driving cattle, can you ride horses?" The mustache on Old Walsh's mouth was raised again. It was obvious that the old man didn't want to bring a few burdens to the scene, but he Knowing that he has no chance to refuse, because Jian Heng is the most lacking cowboy who can drive cattle at this time.

"I can't drive cattle, but I can ride horses well!" Jim said happily.

Old Walsh asked again: "Ten minutes of riding is nothing, but sitting on horseback for a whole day is okay?"

"That's a bit difficult!" Jim didn't try to be brave, and directly confessed to the old man.

"Then it's not called being able to ride a horse!" Old Walsh replied firmly.

Jim looked at Jian Heng at this moment, and Jian Heng looked at He Ye again.

He Ye smiled and spread his hands, and said calmly, "Look at what I'm doing, it doesn't matter where I go!"

Seeing that He Ye had no problem, Jim was looking forward to experiencing the transition life, so Jian Heng could only say to Old Walsh: "I'll take care of them on the way, you don't have to worry about them, it's not the past transition It will take more than a month to go to the field, and now it only takes six days to go back and forth. Tell me, how quickly can you get ready?"

"If you have no problem, we can start at noon tomorrow at the earliest." Old Walsh said to Jian Heng: "If you can settle now, I will go to Catherine to borrow someone."

"Let's put it this way." Jian Heng felt that it was reasonable to hurry up and get things done quickly, and go home early.

At this moment, He Ye said, "We can help you on the way. My horse rides okay, but I don't know anything about driving cattle."

Old Walsh smiled at He Ye, and his attitude towards He Ye was obviously better.

These old men especially don't like men who talk too much. In the past ten minutes or so, Jim has not only talked a lot, but also is familiar with himself. It was not pleasing to the eye, let alone Jim, an outsider, and the old man naturally attributed it to the talkative party who failed to succeed and failed.

As for He Ye, he stood aside without saying a word. He hadn't spoken three sentences in the past ten minutes, and he seemed quite well-mannered. Compared with Jim, he naturally fell into Old Walsh's eyes first.

"Then at noon tomorrow, let's see what we have to bring?" Jian Heng said.

Hearing what Jian Heng said, Old Walsh took off the hat from the top of his head, scratched the gray hair lying on the scalp under the weight of the hat, and began to think in his heart.

While calculating, he muttered in his own mouth: "Sleeping bags, preferably tents, simple toiletries, all of which can be decomposed..."

Chutu talked a lot to himself, but Jian Heng didn't hear anything new.

For Jian Heng, camping is not a new thing. When he was on the ranch before, Jian Heng followed him around and naturally knew what to bring, but this time he was helping people to move around. I don’t know if there is any on his side. It is necessary to bring some things that are not so commonly used, such as medicines and the like.

"Just bring enough of your basic daily necessities!" Old Walsh said at the end that he was a little annoyed, so he simply summed it up in one sentence of daily necessities without counting.

After thinking about it for a while: "It's best to prepare tents and things to keep out the cold. We have no problem, but your friend and the three of them may not be able to withstand the cold along the way!"

Jian Heng hummed to express his agreement, and suddenly another question appeared in his mind, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Is there a car accompanying you this time?"

"You mean off-road motorcycle? I'm not prepared here. First, it's not easy to use, and second, it's uncomfortable to ride when you climb over the Earth Bear Mountain. The place is more than 20 kilometers away. Riding a motorcycle..." He said Before Old Walsh finished speaking, he shook his head first.

Jian Heng has a little impression of Tuxiong Mountain. There are almost no mountain roads there, just random rocks, one by one. It is indeed uncomfortable to use a motorcycle. Riding a horse is worse than riding on that thing.

"Then forget it?" Jian Heng asked after thinking about it.

Old Walsh nodded: "Well, it doesn't work!"

"Then it's settled? Tomorrow at noon, I'll take the three of them to your ranch to find you." Seeing that everything was almost finalized, Jian Heng opened his mouth and said.

"Okay!" Old Walsh dropped a word.

Now that the matter has been discussed to this point, Old Walsh didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran directly to his own pasture, and started to gather cattle and make preliminary preparations.

On Jian Heng's side, it was much more carefree. The three of them walked around the pasture for a short time, took two fat rabbits and a fat swan that Jim had killed, and threw these things to Zhao Changshan from the back door of the restaurant.
